of the rights and obligations in respect of such transferred Company Claims. Any Transfer in violation of Section 9.01
shall be void ab initio.

 

    26

from acquiring additional Company Claims; provided, however, that (a) such additional Company Claims shall
automatically and immediately upon acquisition by a Consenting Stakeholder be deemed subject to the terms of this Agreement (regardless
of when or whether notice of such acquisition is given to counsel to the Company Parties or counsel to the Consenting Stakeholders)

anything to the contrary herein, to the extent a Company Party and another Party have entered into a Confidentiality Agreement,
the terms of such Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to apply and remain in full force and effect according to its terms,
and this Agreement does not supersede any rights or obligations otherwise arising under such Confidentiality Agreements.

 

9.05 Notwithstanding
Section 9.01, a Qualified Marketmaker that acquires any Company Claims from a Consenting Stakeholder with the purpose and
intent of acting as a Qualified Marketmaker for such Company Claims shall not be required to execute and deliver a Transfer Agreement
in respect of such Company Claims if (a) such Qualified Marketmaker subsequently transfers such Company Claims (by purchase, sale
assignment, participation, or otherwise) within ten (10) Business Days of its acquisition to a transferee that is an Entity that
is not an Affiliate, affiliated fund, or affiliated Entity with a common investment advisor; (b) the transferee otherwise is a
Permitted Transferee under Section 9.01; and (c) the Transfer otherwise is a permitted Transfer under Section 9.01.
To the extent that a Consenting Stakeholder is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may Transfer (by purchase,
sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) any right, title or interests in Company Claims that the Qualified Marketmaker
acquires from a holder of the Company Claims who is not a Consenting Stakeholder without the requirement that the transferee be
a Permitted Transferee.

 

9.06 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 9, the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 9 shall not apply
to the grant of any liens or encumbrances on any claims and interests in favor of a bank or broker-dealer holding custody of such

and, if such withdrawal or change occurs on or after the Petition Date, file notice of such withdrawal or change with the Bankruptcy
Court. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting a Company Party or any of the Consenting Stakeholders from
contesting whether any such termination is in accordance with its terms or to seek enforcement of any rights under this Agreement
that arose or existed before a Termination Date. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to,
or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict (a) any right of any Company Party or the ability of any Company Party
to protect and reserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its claims against
any Consenting Stakeholder, and (b) any right of any Consenting Stakeholder, or the ability of any Consenting Stakeholder, to
protect and preserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its claims against
any Company Party or Consenting Stakeholder. No purported termination of this Agreement shall be effective under this Section 12.05
or otherwise if the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement is in material breach of this Agreement, except a termination

to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.02(c).

 

12.06 Limitations.
No Party may terminate this Agreement on account of a Termination Event if the occurrence of such Termination Event was primarily
caused by, or primarily resulted from, such Party’s own actions (or failure to act) in breach of the terms of this Agreement;

or supplement (x) has a material, disproportionate (as compared to other Consenting Stakeholders holding Claims within the same
class as provided for in the Plan) adverse effect on any of the Company Claims held by a Consenting Stakeholder, or (y) changes
the economic treatment otherwise provided to any Consenting Stakeholders; provided, however, that if the modification,
amendment, waiver, or supplement described in clause (y) above solely affects a Consenting Noteholder in a manner that is
proportionate with respect to each of the Consenting Noteholders, only the consent of the Required Supermajority Consenting Noteholders
shall be required to effectuate such modification, amendment, waiver, or supplement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
for the avoidance of doubt, no amendment, modification, waiver, or supplement of this Section 13 shall be effective
without the consent of each Party hereto.

 

(b) Any
proposed modification, amendment, waiver, or supplement that does not comply with this Section 13 shall be ineffective
and void ab initio as to any non-consenting Party affected thereby.

 

(c) The
waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing
waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no
delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy
or any provision of this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by a Party preclude
any other or further exercise of such right, power or remedy or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy by such Party.
All remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by Law.

 

(d) Any
consent or waiver contemplated in this Agreement may be provided by electronic mail from counsel to the relevant Parties.

 

(e) Notwithstanding
Section 13(a) of this Agreement, any modification, amendment, or change to the definition of “Required Consenting Noteholders”
shall require the consent of each Consenting Noteholder holding Notes Claims that is a Consenting Noteholder as of the date of
such modification, amendment, or change.

 

(f) Notwithstanding
Section 13(a) of this Agreement, any modification, amendment, or change to the definition of “Required Consenting RBL Lenders”
shall require the consent of each Consenting RBL Lender holding RBL Claims that is a Consenting RBL Lender as of the date of such
modification, amendment, or change.

Section
14.Transaction Expenses.

 

14.01 The
Company Parties shall pay and reimburse all prepetition and postpetition fees and expenses of the Consenting Stakeholder Professionals
(the “Transaction Expenses”) and, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and the applicable firm,
the Company shall (i) pay, as a precondition to effectiveness of this Agreement, the Transaction Expenses accrued by the
Consenting Noteholder Professionals as of the Agreement Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.01(c); (ii) fund
or replenish, as the case may be, any retainers requested by any of the Consenting Noteholder Professionals, including pursuant
to Section 2.01(d) of this Agreement; (iii) after the Agreement Effective Date has occurred, pay all accrued and unpaid
Transaction Expenses on a monthly basis and within seven (7) Business Days of receipt of invoices in respect thereof; and
(iv) on the Plan Effective Date, pay all accrued and unpaid Transaction Expenses incurred up to (and including) the
Plan Effective Date by the Consenting Stakeholder Professionals without any requirement for Bankruptcy Court review or further
Bankruptcy Court order; provided, however, that the Interim DIP Order shall provide for the payment of all Transaction
Expenses pursuant to this Section 14.01; provided, further, that once the Company Parties have obtained a final
order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the payment of the Transaction Expenses of the Consenting Noteholder Professionals in
the ordinary course, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP shall deduct its Transaction Expenses from the Noteholder
Counsel Retainer (and not require the Company Parties to pay such amounts in cash) until such time as the Noteholder Counsel Retainer
is reduced to an amount that is at or below $2 million.

15.11 Independent
Due Diligence and Decision Making. Each Consenting Stakeholder hereby confirms that its decision to execute this Agreement
has been based upon its independent investigation of the operations, businesses, financial and other conditions, and prospects
of the Company Parties.

 

15.12 Enforceability
of Agreement. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees: (i) that the provisions of any notice or exercise of
termination rights under this Agreement is not prohibited by the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) each
Party waives any right to assert that the exercise of notice or termination rights under this Agreement is subject to the automatic
stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and expressly stipulates and consents hereunder to the prospective modification of the
automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code for purposes of exercising notice and termination rights under this Agreement,
to the extent the Bankruptcy Court determines that such relief is required, and (iii) that they shall not take a position
to the contrary of this Section 15.12 in the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction and (iv) they
will not initiate, or assert in, any litigation or other legal proceeding that this Section 15.12 is illegal, invalid,
or unenforceable, in whole or in part. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, following the commencement of the Chapter
11 Cases and unless and until there is an unstayed order of the Bankruptcy Court providing that the giving of notice under and/or
termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms is not prohibited by the automatic stay imposed by section 362 of the
Bankruptcy Code, the occurrence of any of the termination events in Sections 12.01, 12.03, and 12.04 shall
result in automatic termination of this Agreement, to the extent any terminating Consenting Stakeholder would otherwise have the
ability to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Sections 12.01, 12.03, and 12.04, five (5) calendar
days following such occurrence unless waived in writing by all of the terminating Consenting Stakeholders.

 

    37

     

    

 

15.13 Waiver.
If the Restructuring Transactions are not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Parties fully reserve
any and all of their rights. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement
and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce
its terms or the payment of damages to which a Party may be entitled under this Agreement.

 

15.14 Specific
Performance. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach
of this Agreement by any Party, and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other
equitable relief (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) as a remedy of any such breach, including
an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its
obligations hereunder.

 

15.15 Relationship
Among Parties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the agreements, representations, warranties, and obligations
of the Consenting Stakeholders under this Agreement are, in all respects, several and not joint. No Party shall have any responsibility
by virtue of this Agreement for any trading by any other Entity or person. No prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences
among or between the Parties shall in any way affect or negate this Agreement. The Parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement
does not constitute an agreement, arrangement, or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring,
holding, voting, or disposing of any equity securities of the Company Parties and the Consenting Stakeholders do not constitute
a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. No action taken
by any Consenting Stakeholder pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute or to create a presumption by any of the
Parties that any of the Consenting Stakeholders are in any way acting in concert or as such a “group.”

 

15.16 Severability
and Construction. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid,
or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect if essential terms and conditions of this Agreement
for each Party remain valid, binding, and enforceable.

 

15.17 Remedies
Cumulative. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at Law
or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall
not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party.

 

15.18 Capacities
of Consenting Stakeholders. Each Consenting Stakeholder has entered into this Agreement on account of all Company Claims that
it holds (directly or through discretionary accounts that it manages or advises) and, except where otherwise specified in this
Agreement, shall take or refrain from taking all actions that it is obligated to take or refrain from taking under this Agreement
with respect to all such Company Claims.

 

    38

     

    

 

15.19 
Email Consents. Where a written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver is required pursuant to or contemplated by this
Agreement, pursuant to Section 3.02, Section 13, or otherwise, including a written approval by the Required Parties,
such written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver shall be deemed to have occurred if, by agreement between counsel to the
Parties submitting and receiving such consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver, it is conveyed in writing (including electronic
mail) between each such counsel without representations or warranties of any kind on behalf of such counsel.

 

15.20 Survival.
Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 hereof, the terms, provisions, agreements
and obligations of the Parties in Section 1.02, Section 6, Section 12, Section 13, and Section
14 (other than Section 15.03), and any defined terms used in any of the forgoing Sections (solely to the extent used
therein), shall survive such termination and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

15.21 No
Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against the named parties hereto (and then only to the extent of the specific
obligations undertaken by such parties in this Agreement). All claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort, equity,
or any other theory) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or performance
of this Agreement, may be made only against the Persons that are expressly identified as parties hereto (and then only to the
extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such parties herein). No past, present or future direct or indirect director,
manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, equity holder, trustee, affiliate, controlling person,
agent, attorney, or other representative of any party hereto (including any person negotiating or executing this Agreement on
behalf of a party hereto), nor any past, present, or future direct or indirect director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator,
member, partner, stockholder, equity holder, trustee, affiliate, controlling person, agent, attorney or other representative of
any of the foregoing (other than any of the foregoing that is a party hereto) (any such Person, a “No Recourse Party”),
shall have any liability with respect to this Agreement or with respect to any proceeding (whether in contract, tort, equity or
any other theory that seeks to “pierce the corporate veil” or impose liability of an entity against its owners or
affiliates or otherwise) that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this
Agreement.

 

15.22 Holdings
Information. Except as required by applicable law, no Party or its advisors shall disclose to any person or entity (including,
for the avoidance of doubt, any other Consenting Stakeholder), other than advisors to the Company Parties, the principal amount
or percentage of Notes held by the applicable Consenting Stakeholder without such Consenting Stakeholder’s prior written
consent; provided that (a) if such disclosure is required by law, subpoena or other legal process or regulation, the disclosing
Party shall afford the relevant Consenting Noteholder a reasonable opportunity to review and comment before such disclosure and
shall take all reasonable measures to limit such disclosure, (b) the foregoing shall not prohibit the disclosure of the aggregate
percentage or aggregate principal amount of Notes and RBL Claims held by all Consenting Stakeholders collectively and (c) any
Party may disclose information requested by a U.S. federal or state regulatory authority with jurisdiction over its operations
to such authority without limitation or notice to any Party or other person or entity. Any public filing or other disclosure of
this Agreement which includes executed signature pages to this Agreement shall include such signature pages only in redacted form
with respect to the holdings of each Consenting Stakeholder.

 

15.23 Disclosure;
Publicity. The Company shall not issue any press releases, public documents, or filings with the SEC, the Bankruptcy Court,
or otherwise that constitute disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement or any amendment to the terms of this Agreement
unless pre-approved by the Required Consenting Stakeholders.

Article
II.

ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS, DIP CLAIMS,

PRIORITY CLAIMS, and Restructuring Expenses

 

In
accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, DIP Claims, and
Priority Tax Claims have not been classified and, thus, are excluded from the Classes of Claims and Interests set forth in Article
III hereof.

 

A.
Administrative Claims.

 

Except
with respect to the Professional Fee Claims and Claims for fees and expenses pursuant to section 1930 of chapter 123 of title
28 of the United States Code, and except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim and the Debtors against
which such Allowed Administrative Claim is asserted agree to less favorable treatment for such Holder, or such Holder has been
paid by any Debtor on account of such Allowed Administrative Claim prior to the Effective Date, each Holder of such an Allowed
Administrative Claim will receive in full and final satisfaction of its Allowed Administrative Claim an amount of Cash equal to
the amount of such Allowed Administrative Claim in accordance with the following: (1) if an Administrative Claim is Allowed on
or prior to the Effective Date, on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (or, if not then due, when
such Allowed Administrative Claim is due or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter); (2) if such Administrative Claim is
not Allowed as of the Effective Date, no later than thirty days after the date on which an order allowing such Administrative
Claim becomes a Final Order, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; (3) if such Allowed Administrative Claim is based
on liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of their business after the Petition Date, in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the particular transaction giving rise to such Allowed Administrative Claim without any further action
by the Holder of such Allowed Administrative Claim; (4) at such time and upon such terms as may be agreed upon by such Holder
and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable; or (5) at such time and upon such terms as set forth in an order
of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

    18

     

    

 

Holders
of Administrative Claims that are required to File and serve a request for payment of such Administrative Claims by the Administrative
Claims Bar Date that do not File and serve such a request by the Administrative Claims Bar Date shall be forever barred, estopped,
and enjoined from asserting such Administrative Claims against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and such Administrative
Claims shall be deemed compromised, settled, and released as of the Effective Date.

 

B.
DIP Claims.

 

On
the Effective Date, the DIP Facility shall be indefeasibly converted into the Exit Facility, and all commitments under the DIP
Credit Agreement shall terminate. Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed DIP Claim agrees to less favorable treatment,
in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of, and in exchange for, each Allowed DIP Claim (subject to
the last sentence of this Article II.B), each Holder of an Allowed DIP Claim shall receive its Pro Rata share of participation
in the Exit RBL/Term Loan A Facility in accordance with the Exit Facility Credit Documentation; provided, however,
that to the extent the aggregate principal amount of the Exit Facilities on the Effective Date is more than $580 million, each
Holder of an Allowed DIP Claim on account of the New Money Facility (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), and following the
indefeasible payment in full of such Claims, on account of the Roll Up Facility (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), shall
receive a Pro Rata share of a distribution in Cash in an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Exit
Facilities on the Effective Date to $580 million; provided, further, that in the event the Debtors elect not to
consummate the Exit Facility, the Debtors shall indefeasibly pay the DIP Facility in full in cash or provide such other treatment,
solely with respect to the Roll Up Facility, as is agreed by the Majority Lenders (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) in
their sole direction; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Allowed DIP Claims on account of the New Money Facility
shall be paid in full in cash unless the Holder of such Claims consents otherwise in writing. Upon the indefeasible satisfaction
in full of the DIP Claims and termination of all commitments under the DIP Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms of this
Article II.B, on the Effective Date all Liens and security interests granted to secure such DIP Claims shall be automatically
terminated and of no further force and effect, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court
or any other Entity.

 

C.
Professional Fee Claims.

 

1. Final
Fee Applications and Payment of Professional Fee Claims.

 

All
final requests for payment of Professional Fee Claims for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the
Effective Date must be Filed no later than forty-five days after the Effective Date. The Bankruptcy Court shall determine the
Allowed amounts of such Professional Fee Claims after notice and a hearing in accordance with the procedures established by the
Bankruptcy Court, including the Interim Compensation Order. The Reorganized Debtors shall pay Professional Fee Claims in
Cash in the amount the Bankruptcy Court Allows, including from the Professional Escrow Account, as soon as reasonably practicable
after such Professional Fee Claims are Allowed, and which Allowed amount shall not be subject to disallowance, setoff, recoupment,
subordination, recharacterization, or reduction of any kind, including pursuant to section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code. To the
extent that funds held in the Professional Escrow Account are insufficient to satisfy the amount of Professional Fee Claims owing
to the Professionals, such Professionals shall have an Allowed Administrative Claim for any such deficiency, which shall be satisfied
in accordance with Article II.A of the Plan.

 

    19

     

    

 

2. Professional
Escrow Account.

 

No
later than the Effective Date, the Debtors shall establish and fund the Professional Escrow Account with Cash equal to the Professional
Fee Amount. The Professional Escrow Account shall be maintained in trust solely for the Professionals until all Professional Fee
Claims Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court have been irrevocably paid in full pursuant to one or more Final Orders. Such funds shall
not be considered property of the Debtors’ Estates. The amount of Allowed Professional Fee Claims shall be paid in Cash
to the Professionals by the Reorganized Debtors from the Professional Escrow Account as soon as reasonably practicable after such
Professional Fee Claims are Allowed. When all such Allowed Professional Fee Claims have been paid in full, any remaining amount
in the Professional Escrow Account shall promptly be transferred to the Reorganized Debtors without any further notice to or action,
order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

3. Professional
Fee Amount.

 

Professionals
shall reasonably estimate their unpaid Professional Fee Claims and other unpaid fees and expenses incurred in rendering services
to the Debtors before and as of the Effective Date, and shall deliver such estimate to the Debtors no later than five days before
the Effective Date; provided that such estimate shall not be deemed to limit the amount of the fees and expenses that are
the subject of each Professional’s final request for payment in the Chapter 11 Cases. If a Professional does not provide
an estimate, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may estimate the unpaid and unbilled fees and expenses of such Professional.

 

4. Post-Confirmation
Fees and Expenses.

 

Except
as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, from and after the Confirmation Date, the Debtors shall, in the ordinary course
of business and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, pay in Cash the reasonable
and documented legal, professional, or other fees and expenses incurred by the Debtors. Upon the Confirmation Date, any requirement
that Professionals comply with sections 327 through 331, 363, and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code or the Interim Compensation Order
in seeking retention or compensation for services rendered after such date shall terminate, and the Debtors may employ and pay
any Professional in the ordinary course of business without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy
Court.

 

D.
Priority Tax Claims.

 

Except
to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim agrees to less favorable treatment, in full and final satisfaction,
settlement, release, and discharge of, and in exchange for, each Allowed Priority Tax Claim, each Holder of such Allowed Priority
Tax Claim shall be treated in accordance with the terms set forth in section 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

E.
Payment of Statutory Fees.

 

All
fees payable pursuant to section 1930(a) of the Judicial Code, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at a hearing pursuant to
section 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be paid by each of the Reorganized Debtors (or the Disbursing Agent on behalf of each
of the Reorganized Debtors) for each quarter (including any fraction thereof) until the earlier of entry of a final decree closing
such Chapter 11 Cases or an order of dismissal or conversion, whichever comes first.

 

    20

     

    

 

F.
Transaction Expenses.

 

The
Transaction Expenses incurred, or estimated to be incurred, up to and including the Effective Date shall be paid in full in Cash
on the Effective Date (to the extent not previously paid prior to or during the course of the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with
the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement or any Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court) without any requirement: (1) to
file a fee application with the Bankruptcy Court; (2) for review or approval by the Bankruptcy Court or any other party;
or (3) to provide itemized time detail. All Transaction Expenses to be paid on the Effective Date shall be estimated as of
the Effective Date and such estimates shall be delivered to the Debtors at least two Business Days before the anticipated Effective
Date; provided that such estimates shall not be considered an admission or limitation with respect to such Transaction
Expenses. In addition, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) shall continue to pay Transaction Expenses related
to implementation, consummation, and defense of the Plan after the Effective Date when due and payable in the ordinary course,
whether incurred before, on, or after the Effective Date without any requirement: (1) to file a fee application with the
Bankruptcy Court; (2) for review or approval by the Bankruptcy Court or any other party; or (3) to provide itemized
time detail.

is classified in a particular Class only to the extent that any portion of such Claim or Interest fits within the description
of that Class and is classified in other Classes to the extent that any portion of the Claim or Interest fits within the description
of such other Classes. A Claim or an Interest also is classified in a particular Class for the purpose of receiving distributions

apply separately to each of the Debtors (except for Class 4A General Unsecured Claims against Gulfport Parent, and Class
7 Existing Interests in Gulfport Parent, which shall only apply to Debtor Gulfport Parent, and Class 4B General Unsecured
Claims against Gulfport Subsidiaries, which shall only apply to the Gulfport Subsidiary Debtors). All of the potential Classes
for the Debtors are set forth herein. Voting tabulations for recording acceptances or rejections of the Plan shall be conducted

the extent Reinstated under the Plan, distributions on account of Intercompany Interests are not being received by Holders of

due to the importance of maintaining the prepetition corporate structure for the ultimate benefit of the Holders of New Common
Stock and New Preferred Stock, and in exchange for the Debtors’ and Reorganized Debtors’ agreement under the Plan
to make certain distributions to the Holders of Allowed Claims. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Reinstated pursuant

connection with any contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, whether arising under general principles
of equitable subordination, section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise. Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy

shall be final.

 

Certain
Claims and Causes of Action may exist between one or more of the Debtors and one or more of its Affiliates, which Claims and Causes
of Action have been settled, and such settlement is reflected in the treatment of the Intercompany Claims and the Claims against
and Interests in each Debtor entity. The Plan shall be deemed a motion to approve the good faith compromise and settlement of

General Unsecured Claims against Gulfport Subsidiaries, or Existing Interests in Gulfport Parent on account of their Claims or
Interests will be issued without registration under the Securities Act or any similar federal, state, or local law in reliance
on Section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent available, or in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or
Regulation D promulgated thereunder to the extent reliance on Section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code is not available.

 

The
New Preferred Stock and New Common Stock shall be reflected through the facilities of DTC, and neither the Debtors, the Reorganized
Debtors, nor any other Person, as applicable, shall be required to provide any further evidence other than the Plan or the Confirmation
Order with respect to the treatment of such New Preferred Stock or New Common Stock (to the extent they are deemed to be Securities)
to be issued under the Plan under applicable securities laws, and such Plan or Confirmation Order shall be deemed to be legal
and binding obligations of the Reorganized Debtors in all respects.

 

DTC
shall be required to accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan and Confirmation Order in lieu of a legal opinion regarding whether
the New Preferred Stock and New Common Stock to be issued under the Plan are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC
book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no Entity (including,
for the avoidance of doubt, DTC) may require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any transaction contemplated by the Plan,
including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the New Preferred Stock and New Common Stock to be issued under the Plan are exempt
from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

 

F.
Corporate Existence.

 

Except
as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated in the Plan or the Plan Supplement,
each Debtor shall continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate corporation, limited liability company, partnership,
or other form, as the case may be, with all the powers of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other form,
as the case may be, pursuant to the applicable Law in the jurisdiction in which each applicable Debtor is incorporated or formed
and pursuant to the respective certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents) in effect prior to the Effective Date,
except to the extent such certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents) are amended under the Plan or
otherwise, in each case, consistent with the Plan and the Restructuring Support Agreement (and subject to the Consenting Stakeholder
Consent Rights), and to the extent such documents are amended in accordance therewith, such documents are deemed to be amended
pursuant to the Plan and require no further action or approval (other than any requisite filings required under applicable state,
provincial, or federal law). After the Effective Date, the respective certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation
documents) of one or more of the Reorganized Debtors may be amended or modified on the terms therein without supervision or approval
by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules. After the Effective Date, one
or more of the Reorganized Debtors may be disposed of, dissolved, wound down, or liquidated without supervision or approval by
the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules.

 

    31

     

    

 

G.
Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Debtors.

 

Except
as otherwise provided in the Confirmation Order, the Plan, or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated in, or
entered into in connection with or pursuant to, the Plan or Plan Supplement, on the Effective Date, all property in each Estate,
all Causes of Action, and any property acquired by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan shall vest in each respective Reorganized
Debtor, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, or other encumbrances. On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise
provided in the Plan, each Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire, or dispose of property and compromise
or settle any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions
of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules.

 

H.
Cancellation of Existing Securities and Agreements.

 

On
the Effective Date, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, all notes, instruments, certificates,
credit agreements, indentures, and other documents evidencing Claims or Interests shall be cancelled and the obligations of the
Debtors thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be deemed satisfied in full, cancelled, discharged, and of no force or
effect. Holders of or parties to such cancelled instruments, Securities, and other documentation will have no rights arising from
or relating to such instruments, Securities, and other documentation, or the cancellation thereof, except the rights provided
for pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to any applicable provisions of Article
VI hereof, to the extent cancelled pursuant to this paragraph, the DIP Credit Agreement, the RBL Credit Agreement, and the
Notes Indentures shall continue in effect solely to the extent necessary to: (1) permit Holders of Claims under the DIP Credit
Agreement, the RBL Credit Agreement, and the Notes Indentures to receive their respective Plan Distributions, if any (subject
to any applicable charging liens, including, without limitation, the Notes Trustee Charging Lien); (2) permit the Disbursing
Agent, as applicable, to make Plan Distributions on account of the Allowed Claims under the DIP Credit Agreement, the RBL Credit
Agreement, and the Notes Indentures, as applicable (subject to any applicable charging liens, including, without limitation, the
Notes Trustee Charging Lien); (3) permit each of the DIP Agent, RBL Agent, and the Notes Trustee to seek compensation and/or reimbursement
for Notes Trustee Fees, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and preserve any rights of the DIP Agent, RBL Agent, any L/C
Issuing Bank, and Notes Trustee to maintain, exercise, and enforce of any applicable rights of indemnity, reimbursement, or contribution,
including the RBL/DIP Preserved Rights, and any applicable charging lien, including the Notes Trustee Charging Lien; and (4) permit
each of the DIP Agent, RBL Agent, Holders of Claims under the DIP Credit Agreement or the RBL Credit Agreement, L/C Issuing Banks,
and the Notes Trustee to appear and be heard in the Chapter 11 Cases or in any proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court, including to
enforce any obligation owed to the DIP Agent, the RBL Agent, and the Notes Trustee, or Holders of Claims under the DIP Credit
Agreement, the RBL Credit Agreement, and the Notes Indentures, as applicable. Except as provided in the Plan (including Article
VI hereof) or as may be necessary to effectuate the terms of the Plan, on the Effective Date, the DIP Agent, RBL Agent, the
Notes Trustee, and their respective agents, successors, and assigns, shall be automatically and fully discharged of all of their
duties and obligations associated with the DIP Credit Agreement, RBL Credit Agreement, and the Notes Indentures, as applicable.
To the extent cancelled in accordance with this paragraph, the commitments and obligations (if any) of the Holders of the Notes
and the lenders under the DIP Credit Agreement, and the RBL Credit Agreement to extend any further or future credit or financial
accommodations to any of the Debtors, any of their respective subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns under
the RBL Credit Agreement, and the Notes Indentures, as applicable, shall fully terminate and be of no further force or effect
on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, nothing herein releases, cancels, or otherwise limits
or modifies any obligations of the RBL Lenders or DIP Lenders with respect to the RBL/DIP Preserved Rights.

I.
Corporate Action.

 

On
the Effective Date, all actions contemplated under the Plan shall be deemed authorized and approved in all respects, including:
(1) adoption or assumption, as applicable, of the Compensation and Benefit Programs; (2) selection of the directors
or managers, as applicable, and officers for the Reorganized Debtors; (3) the issuance and distribution of the New Common
Stock and New Preferred Stock; (4) implementation of the Restructuring Transactions; (5) entry into the Exit Facility Documentation,

occur before, on, or after the Effective Date). All matters provided for in the Plan involving the corporate structure of the
Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and any corporate, partnership, limited liability company, or other governance action required
by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have occurred and shall
be in effect, without any requirement of further action by the equity holders, members, directors, managers, or officers of the
Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable. On or (as applicable) prior to the Effective Date, the appropriate officers
of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall be authorized and (as applicable) directed to issue, execute,
and deliver the agreements, documents, Securities, and instruments contemplated under the Plan (or necessary or desirable to effect
the transactions contemplated under the Plan) in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors, including the New Common
Stock and the New Preferred Stock, the New Organizational Documents, the Exit Facility Documentation (as applicable), and any
and all other agreements, documents, Securities, and instruments relating to the foregoing. The authorizations and approvals contemplated
by this Article IV.I shall be effective notwithstanding any requirements under non-bankruptcy Law.

 

J.
New Organizational Documents.

 

On
or immediately prior to the Effective Date, the New Organizational Documents (which shall be consistent with the Restructuring
Support Agreement, the Plan, and the Plan Supplement) shall be automatically adopted by the applicable Reorganized Debtors. To
the extent required under the Plan or applicable non-bankruptcy Law, each of the Reorganized Debtors will file its New Organizational
Documents with the applicable Secretaries of State and/or other applicable authorities in its respective state or country of organization
if and to the extent required in accordance with the applicable Laws of the respective state or country of organization. The New
Organizational Documents will (a) authorize the issuance of the New Common Stock and the New Preferred Stock and (b) prohibit
the issuance of non-voting equity Securities to the extent required under section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

After
the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may amend and restate their respective New Organizational Documents in accordance
with the terms thereof, and the Reorganized Debtors may file such amended certificates or articles of incorporation, bylaws, or
such other applicable formation documents, and other constituent documents as permitted by Laws of the respective states, provinces,
or countries of incorporation and the New Organizational Documents.

 

    33

     

    

 

K.
Indemnification Obligations.

 

Consistent
with applicable Law, all indemnification provisions in place on and as of the Effective Date (whether in the by-laws, certificates
of incorporation or formation, limited liability company agreements, other organizational documents, board resolutions, indemnification
agreements, employment contracts, or otherwise) for current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, accountants,
investment bankers, and other professionals of the Debtors, as applicable, shall be Reinstated and remain intact, irrevocable,
and shall survive the effectiveness of the Plan on terms no less favorable to such current and former directors, officers, managers,
employees, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, and other professionals of the Debtors than the indemnification provisions
in place prior to the Effective Date.

 

L.
Managers and Officers of the Reorganized Debtors.

 

As
of the Effective Date, the term of the current members of the board of directors of Gulfport Parent shall expire. The New Board
will consist of the Reorganized Debtors’ Chief Executive Officer and other directors, all of whom will be selected and appointed
in a manner determined by the Required Consenting Noteholders. The identities of directors on the New Board shall be set
forth in the Plan Supplement to the extent known at the time of filing.

 

M.
Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions.

 

On
and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors, and their respective officers, directors, members, or managers (or other
relevant governing body), are authorized to and may issue, execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, Securities, instruments,
releases, and other agreements or documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement,
and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan, Exit Facility entered into, and the Securities issued pursuant to the
Plan in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors, without the need for any approvals, authorization, or consents except
for those expressly required pursuant to the Plan.

 

N.
Section 1146 Exemption.

 

To
the fullest extent permitted by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers (whether from a Debtor to a Reorganized
Debtor or to any other Person) of property under the Plan or pursuant to: (1) the issuance, distribution, transfer, or exchange
of any debt, equity Security, or other interest in the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, including the New Common Stock and
the New Preferred Stock; (2) the Restructuring Transactions; (3) the creation, modification, consolidation, termination,
refinancing, and/or recording of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest, or the securing of additional indebtedness
by such or other means; (4) the making, assignment, or recording of any lease or sublease; (5) the grant of collateral as
security for the Reorganized Debtors’ obligations under and in connection with the Exit Facility; or (6) the making, delivery,
or recording of any deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with, the Plan, including
any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, or other instrument of transfer executed in connection with any transaction arising out
of, contemplated by, or in any way related to the Plan, shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance
fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, real estate transfer tax, personal property transfer tax, sales or use tax, mortgage
recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, regulatory filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental
assessment, and upon entry of the Confirmation Order, the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall forego
the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments
or other documents without the payment of any such tax, recordation fee, or governmental assessment. All filing or recording officers
(or any other Person with authority over any of the foregoing), wherever located and by whomever appointed, shall comply with
the requirements of section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment,
and shall accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such
tax or governmental assessment.

 

    34

     

    

 

O.
Director and Officer Liability Insurance.

 

Notwithstanding
anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Debtors’ D&O
Liability Insurance Policies pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code effective as of the Effective Date. Entry of the
Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Reorganized Debtors’ foregoing assumption
of each of the unexpired D&O Liability Insurance Policies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan,
Confirmation of the Plan shall not discharge, impair, or otherwise modify any indemnity obligations assumed by the foregoing assumption
of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, and each such indemnity obligation will be deemed and treated as an Executory Contract
that has been assumed by the Debtors under the Plan as to which no Proof of Claim need be Filed.

 

In
addition, after the Effective Date, none of the Reorganized Debtors shall terminate or otherwise reduce the coverage under any
D&O Liability Insurance Policies in effect on or after the Petition Date, with respect to conduct occurring prior thereto,
and all directors, managers and officers of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time prior to the Effective Date shall
be entitled to the full benefits of any such policy for the full term of such policy, to the extent set forth therein, regardless
of whether such directors, managers and officers remain in such positions after the Effective Date.

 

P.
Management Incentive Plan.

 

Effective
on the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may implement the Management Incentive Plan as provided herein.  If determined
by the New Board, the Management Incentive Plan will provide for 50% of the Management Incentive Plan Pool (the “Initial
Pool”) to be allocated within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date to the Management Incentive Plan Participants
in the form of restricted stock units (or their economic equivalents) subject to terms (including performance metrics and vesting
criteria) to be agreed between the Management Incentive Plan Participants and the New Board; provided that such period shall be
extended automatically by an additional thirty (30) days if good faith discussions between the Management Incentive Plan Participants
and the New Board regarding the terms of the Management Incentive Plan remain ongoing at the conclusion of the initial sixty (60)
day period.  If either (a) the New Board does not institute the Management Incentive Plan with respect to the Initial Pool
in accordance with the terms of this Article IV.P (including the time periods set forth herein) or (b) the
terms of the Initial Pool with respect to any Management Incentive Plan Participant are not satisfactory to such participant in
such participant’s sole discretion prior to the expiration of the time periods set forth herein, in either case, such event
shall constitute “good reason” under the applicable MIP Employment Agreement; provided that the allocation of the
Initial Pool of any Management Incentive Plan Participant (but not any other terms and conditions of the Initial Pool) shall be
deemed satisfactory as to such participant if such participant receives at least the applicable percentage of the Initial Pool
set forth in the Initial MIP Allocation.

 

    35

     

    

 

Q.
Employee and Retiree Benefits.

 

All
Compensation and Benefits Programs shall be assumed by the Reorganized Debtors and shall remain in place as of the Effective Date,
and the Reorganized Debtors will continue to honor such agreements, arrangements, programs, and plans. For the avoidance of doubt,
pursuant to section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, from and after the Effective Date, all retiree benefits (as such term
is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code), if any, shall continue to be paid in accordance with applicable law. On the
Effective Date, the Debtors shall assume all employment agreements, indemnification agreements, or other agreements entered into
with current and former employees, directors, managers, members, or officers, including the MIP Employment Agreements. For the
avoidance of doubt, the only employment agreements with severance obligations that will be assumed are the MIP Employment Agreements.

 

R.
Preservation of Causes of Action.

 

In
accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, each Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall retain and may enforce all
rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action of the Debtors, whether arising before or after the
Petition Date, that are specifically enumerated in the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action, and the Reorganized Debtors’
rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such retained Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the
Effective Date or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary.

 

The
Reorganized Debtors may pursue such retained Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized
Debtors. No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement
to any Cause of Action against it as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not pursue
any and all available retained Causes of Action of the Debtors against it. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve
all rights to prosecute any and all retained Causes of Action against any Entity. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the
parties to the applicable Cause of Action, all objections to the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action must be Filed with the
Bankruptcy Court on or before thirty days after the Effective Date. Any such objection that is not timely Filed shall be disallowed
and forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from assertion against any Reorganized Debtor, without the need for any objection or
responsive pleading by the Reorganized Debtors or any other party in interest or any further notice to or action, order, or approval
of the Bankruptcy Court. The Reorganized Debtors may settle any such objection without any further notice to or action, order,
or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. If there is any dispute regarding the inclusion of any Cause of Action on the Schedule of
Retained Causes of Action that remains unresolved by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the objection party
for thirty days, such objection shall be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court. Unless any Causes of Action of the Debtors against
an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Final Order (and
for the avoidance of doubt, any Causes of Action on the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action shall not be expressly relinquished,
exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan), the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all Causes of Action, for
later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue
preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon,
after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation.

 

The
Reorganized Debtors reserve and shall retain such Causes of Action of the Debtors notwithstanding the rejection or repudiation
of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease during the Chapter 11 Cases or pursuant to the Plan. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3)
of the Bankruptcy Code, any retained Causes of Action that a Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest in the Reorganized
Debtors. The applicable Reorganized Debtors, through their authorized agents or representatives, shall retain and may exclusively
enforce any and all such Causes of Action. The Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to
determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any
such Causes of Action and to decline to do any of the foregoing without the consent or approval of any third party or further
notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in the
Plan or the Plan Supplement to the contrary, neither Midship nor any of its Related Parties shall be a Released Party under the
Plan, and the Reorganized Debtors expressly retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and
all Causes of Action against Midship or its Related Parties notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date.

Article
V.

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

 

A.
Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts
and Unexpired Leases.

 

On
the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in Article V.H.1 and elsewhere herein, all Executory Contracts or Unexpired
Leases not otherwise assumed or rejected will be deemed assumed by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with the provisions
and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, other than those that are: (1) identified on the Schedule
of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; (2) previously expired or terminated pursuant to their own terms or
agreement of the parties thereto; (3) have been previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors pursuant to a Final Order;
(4) are the subject of a motion to reject that is pending on the Effective Date; or (5) have an ordered or requested effective
date of rejection that is after the Effective Date; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Executory
Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected without the prior written consent of the Required
Consenting Stakeholders.

 

Entry
of the Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumptions, assumptions and assignments,
or rejections of the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases as set forth in the Plan, or the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts
and Unexpired Leases or Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts, pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Except
as otherwise specifically set forth herein, assumptions or rejections of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to
the Plan are effective as of the Effective Date. Each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by
Bankruptcy Court order but not assigned to a third party before the Effective Date shall re-vest in and be fully enforceable by
the applicable contracting Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as such terms may have been modified by the
provisions of the Plan or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption. Any motions to assume
Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pending on the Effective Date shall be subject to approval by a Final Order on or after
the Effective Date but may be withdrawn, settled, or otherwise prosecuted by the Reorganized Debtors.

 

Except
as otherwise provided herein or agreed to by the Debtors and the applicable counterparty, each assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired
Lease shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements related thereto, and all rights
related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first
refusal, and any other interests. Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts
and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition
nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection
therewith.

 

To
the maximum extent permitted by Law, any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to the
Plan shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not constitute a “change of control”
or “assignment” (or terms with similar effect) under, or any other transaction or matter that would result in a violation,
breach or default under, or increase, accelerate or otherwise alter any obligations, rights or liabilities of the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors under, or result in the creation or imposition of a Lien upon any property or asset of the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors pursuant to, the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and any consent or advance notice required
under such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed satisfied by Confirmation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the Plan, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, or supplement the
Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases and the Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts at any time up to forty-five
days after the Effective Date.

 

    37

     

    

 

To
the extent any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules require the Debtors to assume or reject an Executory Contract
or Unexpired Lease, such requirement shall be satisfied if the Debtors make an election to assume or reject such Executory Contract
or Unexpired Lease prior to the deadline set forth by the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules, as applicable, regardless of
whether or not the Bankruptcy Court has actually ruled on such proposed assumption or rejection prior to such deadline.

 

If
certain, but not all, of a contract counterparty’s Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases are assumed pursuant to the Plan,
the Confirmation Order shall be a determination that such counterparty’s Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that are
being rejected pursuant to the Plan are severable agreements that are not integrated with those Executory Contracts and/or Unexpired
Leases that are being assumed pursuant to the Plan. Parties seeking to contest this finding with respect to their Executory Contracts
and/or Unexpired Leases must file a timely objection to the Plan on the grounds that their agreements are integrated and not severable,
and any such dispute shall be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing (to the extent not resolved by the
parties prior to the Confirmation Hearing).

 

B.
Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts
or Unexpired Leases.

 

Unless
otherwise provided by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, all Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection
of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, pursuant to the Plan or the Confirmation Order, if any, must be Filed with the Bankruptcy
Court within thirty days after the later of (1) the date of entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court (including the Confirmation
Order) approving such rejection, (2) the effective date of such rejection, or (3) the Effective Date. Any Claims
arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease not Filed with the Bankruptcy Court within such time will
be automatically disallowed, forever barred from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors, the Estates, or their property without the need for any objection by the Reorganized Debtors or further notice to, or
action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Entity, and any Claim arising out of the rejection of the Executory
Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, notwithstanding anything in the Proof of
Claim to the contrary. All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts or Unexpired
Leases shall be classified as General Unsecured Claims and shall be treated in accordance with, as applicable, (b) or Article
III.B(b) of the Plan.

 

C.
Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts
and Unexpired Leases.

 

On
the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall,
in accordance with the Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts pay all Cure costs relating to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
that are being assumed under the Plan. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the parties to the applicable Executory Contract
or Unexpired Lease, all requests for payment of Cure costs that differ from the amounts paid or proposed to be paid by the Debtors
or the Reorganized Debtors to a counterparty must be Filed with the Solicitation Agent on or before fourteen days after the Filing
of the Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts. Any such request that is not timely Filed shall be disallowed and forever barred, estopped,
and enjoined from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, without the need for any objection
by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors or any other party in interest or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of
the Bankruptcy Court. Any Cure costs shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged upon payment by the Debtors or
the Reorganized Debtors of the applicable Cure costs; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Reorganized
Debtors from paying any Cure costs despite the failure of the relevant counterparty to file such request for payment of such Cure
costs. The Reorganized Debtors also may settle any Cure costs without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the
Bankruptcy Court. In addition, any objection to the assumption of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease under the Plan must
be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Confirmation Hearing. Any such objection will be scheduled to be heard by
the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing or at the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’, as applicable, first
scheduled omnibus hearing for which such objection is timely Filed. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease
that fails to timely object to the proposed assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed to have consented
to such assumption.

 

    38

     

    

 

If
there is any dispute regarding any Cure costs, the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide “adequate
assurance of future performance” within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other matter pertaining
to assumption, then payment of any Cure costs shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable after entry of a Final Order resolving
such dispute, approving such assumption (and, if applicable, assignment), or as may be agreed upon by the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors, as applicable, and the counterparty to the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors,
as applicable, reserve the right at any time to move to reject any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease based upon the existence
of any such unresolved dispute. If the Bankruptcy Court determines that the Allowed Cure cost with respect to any Executory Contract
or Unexpired Lease is greater than the amount set forth in the Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts, the Debtors shall have the right
to add such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, in which
case such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date subject to the applicable counterparty’s
right to object to such rejection.

 

Assumption
of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction
of any Cures, Claims, or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in
control or ownership interest composition or any bankruptcy-related defaults, arising at any time prior to the effective date
of assumption. Any and all Proofs of Claim based upon Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that have been assumed in the
Chapter 11 Cases, including pursuant to the Confirmation Order, shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the later of (1) the
date of entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court (including the Confirmation Order) approving such assumption, (2) the effective
date of such assumption or (3) the Effective Date without the need for any objection thereto or any further notice to or
action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

D.
Preexisting Obligations to the Debtors under
Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

 

Rejection
of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination of preexisting
obligations owed to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, under such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases.
In particular, notwithstanding any applicable non-bankruptcy Law to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve and
do not waive any right to receive, or any continuing obligation of a counterparty to provide, warranties or continued maintenance
obligations with respect to goods previously purchased by the Debtors pursuant to rejected Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases.

 

E.
Insurance Policies.

 

Each
of the Debtors’ insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as Executory
Contracts under the Plan. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date, (1) the Debtors shall be deemed to have
assumed all insurance policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments relating to coverage of all insured Claims and (2)
such insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto shall revest in the Reorganized Debtors.

 

    39

     

    

 

F.
Reservation of Rights.

 

Nothing
contained in the Plan or the Plan Supplement shall constitute an admission by the Debtors or any other party that any contract
or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. If there
is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the
Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have forty-five days following entry of a Final Order resolving such
dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

 

G.
Nonoccurrence of Effective Date.

 

In
the event that the Effective Date does not occur, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to any request to
extend the deadline for assuming or rejecting Unexpired Leases pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

H.
Employee Compensation and Benefits.

 

1. Compensation
and Benefit Programs.

 

Subject
to the provisions of the Plan, all Compensation and Benefits Programs shall be treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan and
deemed assumed on the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, except
for:

 

		(a)	all
                                         employee equity or equity-based incentive plans, and any provisions set forth in the
                                         Compensation and Benefits Programs that provide for rights to acquire existing Interests
                                         in any of the Debtors;

 

		(b)	Compensation
                                         and Benefits Programs that have been rejected pursuant to an order of a Bankruptcy Court;
                                         and

 

		(c)	any
                                         Compensation and Benefits Programs that, as of the entry of the Confirmation Order, have
                                         been specifically waived by the beneficiaries of any Compensation and Benefits Program.

 

Any
assumption of Compensation and Benefits Programs pursuant to the terms herein shall be deemed not to trigger (i) any applicable
change of control, immediate vesting, termination (similar provisions therein) and (ii) an event of “Good Reason”
(or a term of like import), in each case as a result of the consummation of the Restructuring Transactions. No counterparty shall
have rights under a Compensation and Benefits Program assumed pursuant to the Plan other than those applicable immediately prior
to such assumption.

 

2. Workers’
Compensation Programs.

 

As
of the Effective Date, except as set forth in the Plan Supplement, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to honor
their obligations under: (a) all applicable workers’ compensation laws in states in which the Reorganized Debtors operate;
and (b) the Debtors’ written contracts, agreements, agreements of indemnity, self-insured workers’ compensation bonds,
policies, programs, and plans for workers’ compensation and workers’ compensation insurance. All Proofs of Claims
on account of workers’ compensation shall be deemed withdrawn automatically and without any further notice to or action,
order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided, that nothing in the Plan shall limit, diminish, or otherwise alter
the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ defenses, Causes of Action, or other rights under applicable non-bankruptcy Law
with respect to any such contracts, agreements, policies, programs, and plans; provided, further, that nothing herein
shall be deemed to impose any obligations on the Debtors in addition to what is provided for under applicable state law.

 

    40

     

    

 

I.
Contracts and Leases Entered into after the Petition
Date.

 

Contracts
and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed
by such Debtor, will be performed by the applicable Debtor or the Reorganized Debtors in the ordinary course of their business.
Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases) will survive and remain
unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

 

J.
Royalty and Working Interests.

 

Notwithstanding
anything in the Plan to the contrary, all of the Royalty and Working Interests and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating
thereto, are treated as and deemed to be Executory Contracts under the Plan. On the Effective Date, pursuant to section 365(a)
of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all agreements, documents, and instruments related thereto.
Entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Reorganized Debtors’ assumption
of all such Royalty and Working Interests and related agreements, documents, and instruments. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the Plan, Confirmation of the Plan shall not discharge, impair, or otherwise modify any obligations assumed
by the foregoing assumption of the Royalty and Working Interest obligations, and each such obligation will be deemed and treated
as an Executory Contract that has been assumed by the Reorganized Debtors under the Plan as to which no Proof of Claim or Cure
Claim need be Filed, and shall survive the Effective Date.

 

Article
VI.

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

 

A.
Distributions on Account of Claims Allowed as
of the Effective Date.

 

Except
as otherwise provided herein, in a Final Order, or as otherwise agreed to by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case
may be, and the Holder of the applicable Allowed Claim on the first Distribution Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall make initial
distributions under the Plan on account of Claims Allowed on or before the Effective Date, subject to the Reorganized Debtors’
right to object to Claims; provided, that (1) Allowed Administrative Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the
Debtors in the ordinary course of business during the Chapter 11 Cases or assumed by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date shall
be paid or performed in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling agreements,
course of dealing, course of business, or industry practice, (2) Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall be paid in accordance with
Article II.D of the Plan, and (3) Allowed General Unsecured Claims shall be paid in accordance with B of the
Plan. To the extent any Allowed Priority Tax Claim is not due and owing on the Effective Date, such Claim shall be paid in full
in Cash in accordance with the terms of any agreement between the Debtors and the Holder of such Claim or as may be due and payable
under applicable non-bankruptcy law or in the ordinary course of business. Thereafter, a Distribution Date shall occur no less
frequently than once in every 90 day period, as necessary, in the Reorganized Debtors’ sole discretion.

 

B.
Disbursing Agent.

 

Except
as otherwise set forth in this Article VI.B, all distributions under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent. The
Disbursing Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties.

 

    41

     

    

 

All
Plan Distributions to Holders of Notes Claims shall be made to and deemed completed when received by the Notes Trustee. The Notes
Trustee shall arrange to deliver such Plan Distributions to or on behalf of such Holders of Notes Claims, subject to the Notes
Trustee Charging Lien, and regardless of whether such distributions are made by the Notes Trustee, or by the Disbursing Agent
at the reasonable direction of the Notes Trustee, the Notes Trustee Charging Lien shall attach to the Plan Distributions to the
Holders of Notes Claims in the same manner as if such Plan Distributions were made through the Notes Trustee. The Notes Trustee
may establish its own record date for distribution and shall transfer or direct the transfer of such distributions through the
facilities of DTC. The Notes Trustee and the shall have no duties or responsibility relating to any form of distribution that
is not DTC eligible and the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) seek
the cooperation of DTC with respect to the cancellation of the Notes as of the Effective Date, and (ii) seek the cooperation of
the relevant bank and broker participants in the DTC system to facilitate delivery of the distribution directly to the relevant
beneficial owners as soon as practicable after the Effective Date.

 

		C.	Rights
                                         and Powers of Disbursing Agent.

 

1. Powers
of the Disbursing Agent.

 

The
Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to: (a) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents
necessary to perform its duties under the Plan; (b) make all distributions contemplated hereby; (c) employ professionals
to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (d) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Disbursing
Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the Plan, or as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper
to implement the provisions hereof.

 

2. Expenses
Incurred On or After the Effective Date.

 

Except
as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent
on or after the Effective Date (including taxes), and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement Claims (including
reasonable attorney fees and expenses), made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors.

 

		D.	Delivery
                                         of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions.

 

1. Record
Date for Distribution.

 

On
the Distribution Record Date, the Claims Register shall be closed and any party responsible for making distributions shall instead
be authorized and entitled to recognize only those record Holders listed on the Claims Register as of the close of business on
the Distribution Record Date. If a Claim, other than one based on a publicly traded Security, is transferred twenty or fewer days
before the Distribution Record Date, the Disbursing Agent shall make distributions to the transferee only to the extent practical
and, in any event, only if the relevant transfer form contains an unconditional and explicit certification and waiver of any objection
to the transfer by the transferor.

 

2. Delivery
of Distributions in General.

 

Except
as otherwise provided herein, the Disbursing Agent shall make distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests
(as applicable) as of the Distribution Record Date at the address for each such Holder as indicated on the Debtors’ records
as of the date of any such distribution; provided, that the manner of such distributions shall be determined at the discretion
of the Reorganized Debtors.

 

    42

     

    

 

3. Minimum
Distributions.

 

No
Cash payment of less than $250 shall be made to a Holder of an Allowed Claim on account of such Allowed Claim. When any distribution
pursuant to the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest (as applicable) would otherwise result in the issuance
of a number of shares of New Common Stock or New Preferred Stock that is not a whole number, the actual distribution of shares
of New Common Stock or New Preferred Stock shall be rounded as follows: (a) fractions of one-half or greater shall be rounded
to the next higher whole number and (b) fractions of less than one-half shall be rounded to the next lower whole number with
no further payment therefor. The total number of authorized shares of New Common Stock and New Preferred Stock to be distributed
to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests hereunder shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding.
No fractional shares of New Common Stock or New Preferred Stock shall be distributed and no Cash shall be distributed in lieu
of such fractional amounts.

 

4. Undeliverable
and Unclaimed Distributions.

 

If
any distribution to a Holder of an Allowed Claim is returned to the Disbursing Agent as undeliverable, no distribution shall be
made to such Holder unless and until the Disbursing Agent is notified in writing of such Holder’s then-current address or
other necessary information for delivery, at which time all currently due missed distributions shall be made to such Holder on
the next Distribution Date without interest. Undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of the Reorganized Debtors
until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable, or such distribution reverts to the Reorganized Debtors or is cancelled
pursuant to this Article VI.D.4, and shall not be supplemented with any interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind.

 

Any
distribution under the Plan that is an Unclaimed Distribution or remains undeliverable for a period of six months after distribution
shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and such Unclaimed Distribution or undeliverable
distribution shall revest in the applicable Reorganized Debtor automatically (and without need for a further order by the Bankruptcy
Court, notwithstanding any applicable federal, provincial, or estate escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary)
and, to the extent such Unclaimed Distribution is comprised of New Common Stock or New Preferred Stock, such New Common Stock
or New Preferred Stock shall be cancelled. Upon such revesting, the Claim of the Holder or its successors with respect to such
property shall be cancelled, discharged, and forever barred notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned,
or unclaimed property laws, or any provisions in any document governing the distribution that is an Unclaimed Distribution, to
the contrary. [The Disbursing Agent shall adjust the distributions of New Common Stock to reflect any such cancellation.]

 

5. Surrender
of Cancelled Instruments or Securities.

 

On
the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each holder of a certificate or instrument evidencing a Claim
or an Interest that has been cancelled in accordance with Article IV.H hereof shall be deemed to have surrendered such
certificate or instrument to the Disbursing Agent. Such surrendered certificate or instrument shall be cancelled solely with respect
to the Debtors, and such cancellation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-à-vis
one another with respect to such certificate or instrument, including with respect to any indenture or agreement that governs
the rights of the Holder of a Claim or Interest, which shall continue in effect for purposes of allowing Holders to receive distributions
under the Plan, charging liens, priority of payment, and indemnification rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
this paragraph shall not apply to certificates or instruments evidencing Claims that are Unimpaired under the Plan.

 

    43

     

    

 

E.
Manner of Payment.

 

1. Except
as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated in the Plan or the Plan Supplement,
all distributions of the New Common Stock and New Preferred Stock to the Holders of the applicable Allowed Claims or Interests
under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent on behalf of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.

 

2. All
distributions of Cash to the Holders of the applicable Allowed Claims under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent on
behalf of the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor.

 

3. At
the option of the Disbursing Agent, any Cash payment to be made hereunder may be made by check or wire transfer or as otherwise
required or provided in applicable agreements.

 

F.
Indefeasible Distributions.

 

Any
and all distributions made under the Plan shall be indefeasible and not subject to clawback or turnover provisions.

 

G.
Section 1145 Exemption.

 

Pursuant
to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the offer, issuance and distribution of the New Common Stock and New Preferred Stock,
as contemplated by Article III.B hereof, shall be exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of section 5
of the Securities Act and any other applicable Law requiring registration prior to the offering, issuance, distribution, or sale
of Securities, to the maximum extent possible.  Prior to the Petition Date, the offering of such New Common Stock and New
Preferred Stock shall be exempt from such registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation
D promulgated thereunder. In addition, under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, such New Common Stock and New Preferred Stock
will be freely tradable in the U.S. by the recipients thereof, subject to the provisions of (i) section 1145 (b)(1) of the Bankruptcy
Code relating to the definition of an underwriter in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, (ii) compliance with applicable
securities laws and any rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, if any, applicable at the time of any
future transfer of such Securities or instruments, and (iii) any restrictions in the Reorganized Debtors’ New Organizational
Documents.

 

H.
Compliance with Tax Requirements.

 

In
connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, Disbursing Agent, and any applicable withholding
agent shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions
made pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the
Plan to the contrary, such parties shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding
and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient
funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such
distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate. The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors
reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony,
child support, and similar spousal awards, Liens, and encumbrances.

 

    44

     

    

 

I.
Allocations.

 

Distributions
in respect of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claims (as determined for federal income
tax purposes) and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claims, to any portion of such Claims
for accrued but unpaid interest.

 

J.
No Postpetition Interest on Claims.

 

Unless
otherwise specifically provided for in the DIP Orders, the Plan, or the Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy
and non-bankruptcy Law, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any prepetition Claims, and no Holder of a Claim
shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on such Claim. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing,
interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim with respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date a final
distribution is made on account of such Disputed Claim, if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

 

K.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate.

 

Except
as otherwise provided in a Bankruptcy Court order, as of the Effective Date, any Claim asserted in currency other than U.S. dollars
shall be automatically deemed converted to the equivalent U.S. dollar value using the exchange rate for the applicable currency
as published in The Wall Street Journal, National Edition, on the Effective Date.

 

L.
Setoffs and Recoupment.

 

Except
as expressly provided in the Plan, each Reorganized Debtor may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, set off and/or
recoup against any Plan Distributions to be made on account of any Allowed Claim, any and all claims, rights, and Causes of Action
that such Reorganized Debtor may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim to the extent such setoff or recoupment is either
(1) agreed in amount among the relevant Reorganized Debtor(s) and the Holder of the Allowed Claim or (2) otherwise adjudicated
by the Bankruptcy Court or another court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that neither the failure to effectuate a
setoff or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by a Reorganized Debtor or
its successor of any and all claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Reorganized Debtor or its successor may possess against
the applicable Holder. In no event shall any Holder of a Claim be entitled to recoup such Claim against any claim, right, or Cause
of Action of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, unless such Holder actually has performed such recoupment
and provided notice thereof in writing to the Debtors in accordance with Article XIII.F hereof on or before the Effective
Date, notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve
any right of recoupment.

 

M.
Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties.

 

1. Claims
Paid by Third Parties.

 

The
Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall reduce in full a Claim, and such Claim shall be disallowed without a
Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to
the extent that the Holder of such Claim receives payment in full on account of such Claim from a party that is not a Debtor or
a Reorganized Debtor. Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, to the extent a Holder of a Claim receives a distribution
on account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim,
such Holder shall, within fourteen calendar days of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the applicable Reorganized
Debtor, to the extent the Holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds
the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan. The failure of such Holder to timely repay or
return such distribution shall result in the Holder owing the applicable Reorganized Debtor annualized interest at the Federal
Judgment Rate on such amount owed for each Business Day after the fourteen-day grace period specified above until the amount is
repaid.

 

    45

     

    

 

2. Claims
Payable by Third Parties.

 

No
distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable pursuant to one of the Debtors’
insurance policies until the Holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such insurance policy. To
the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ insurers agrees to satisfy in full or in part a Claim (if and to the extent
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), then immediately upon such insurers’ agreement, the applicable portion
of such Claim may be expunged without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order,
or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

3. Applicability
of Insurance Policies.

 

Except
as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any
applicable insurance policy. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that
the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including insurers under any policies of insurance, nor shall anything
contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such
insurers.

 

Article
VII.

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT,

UNLIQUIDATED, AND DISPUTED CLAIMS

 

A.
Allowance of Claims.

 

After
the Effective Date, each of the Reorganized Debtors shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses the applicable Debtor
had with respect to any Claim or Interest immediately before the Effective Date. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or in
any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases before the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), no Claim or Interest shall
become an Allowed Claim or Interest unless and until such Claim or Interest, as applicable, is deemed Allowed under the Plan or
the Bankruptcy Code, or the Bankruptcy Court has entered a Final Order, including the Confirmation Order (when it becomes a Final
Order), in the Chapter 11 Cases allowing such Claim.

 

B.
Claims Administration Responsibilities.

 

Except
as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan and notwithstanding any requirements that may be imposed pursuant to Bankruptcy
Rule 9019, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the sole authority to: (1) File and prosecute objections
to Claims; (2) settle, compromise, withdraw, litigate to judgment, or otherwise resolve objections to any and all Claims,
regardless of whether such Claims are in a Class or otherwise; (3) settle, compromise, or resolve any Disputed Claim without any
further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court; and (4) administer and adjust the Claims Register to
reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court.
After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall resolve Disputed Claims in accordance with their fiduciary duties and
pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

 

    46

     

    

 

C.
Estimation of Claims.

 

Before,
on, or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time
request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Claim pursuant to applicable law, including pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy
Code and/or Bankruptcy Rule 3012 for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or whether
the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such
Claim, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or during the pendency of any appeal relating to such objection.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan, a Claim that has been expunged from the Claims Register, but that either
is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of a Final Order, shall be deemed to be estimated at zero dollars, unless otherwise
ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any Claim and does not provide otherwise, such
estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of
distributions and discharge) and may be used as evidence in any supplemental proceedings, and the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors
may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim. Notwithstanding section
502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any Holder of a Claim that has been estimated pursuant to section 502(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code or otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration of such estimation unless such Holder has Filed a motion requesting
the right to seek such reconsideration on or before seven (7) days after the date on which such Claim is estimated. Each of the
foregoing Claims and objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Claims
may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn, or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

D.
Disputed Claims Reserve.

 

On
or before the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall establish one or more reserves of New Common Stock for those General
Unsecured Claims that are Disputed Claims as of the Distribution Record Date (for the avoidance of doubt, deducting such amounts
from the Existing Interests Equity Pool), which reserves shall be administered by the Disbursing Agent. After the Effective Date,
the Disbursing Agent shall hold such New Common Stock in such reserve(s) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of General Unsecured
Claims that are Disputed Claims as of the Distribution Record Date, that are ultimately determined to be Allowed after the Distribution
Record Date. The Disbursing Agent shall distribute such amounts (net of any expenses, including any taxes relating thereto), as
provided herein, as such Claims are resolved by a Final Order or agreed to by settlement, and such amounts will be distributable
on account of such Claims as such amounts would have been distributable had such Claims been Allowed Claims as of the Effective
Date under Article III of the Plan solely to the extent of the amounts available in the applicable reserve(s).

 

Upon
a Disputed Claim becoming disallowed by a Final Order, the applicable amount of New Common Stock that was in the disputed claims
reserve on account of such Disputed Claim shall be canceled by the Reorganized Debtors. [The Disbursing Agent shall adjust the
distributions of New Common Stock to reflect any such cancellation].

 

Any
assets held in a disputed claims reserve shall be subject to the tax rules that apply to “disputed ownership funds”
under 26 C.F.R. 1.468B–9. As such, such assets will be subject to entity-level taxation, and the Reorganized Debtors shall
be required to comply with the relevant rules.

 

E.
Adjustment to Claims or Interests without Objection.

 

Any
duplicate Claim or Interest or any Claim or Interest that has been paid, satisfied, amended, or superseded may be adjusted or
expunged on the Claims Register by the Reorganized Debtors without the Reorganized Debtors having to File an application, motion,
complaint, objection, or any other legal proceeding seeking to object to such Claim or Interest and without any further notice
to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

    47

     

    

 

F.
Time to File Objections to Claims.

 

Any
objections to Claims or Interests shall be Filed on or before the later of (i) 180 days after the Effective Date and (ii) such
other period of limitation as may be specifically fixed by the Bankruptcy Court upon a motion by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors.

 

G.
Disallowance of Claims or Interests.

 

Except
as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all Claims and Interests of any Entity from which property is sought by the Debtors under
sections 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors allege is a transferee of
a transfer that is avoidable under sections 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be
disallowed if: (a) the Entity, on the one hand, and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, on the other hand,
agree or the Bankruptcy Court has determined by Final Order that such Entity or transferee is liable to turn over any property
or monies under any of the aforementioned sections of the Bankruptcy Code; and (b) such Entity or transferee has failed to turn
over such property by the date set forth in such agreement or Final Order.

 

Except
as otherwise provided herein or as agreed to by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, any and all Proofs of Claim Filed after
the Claims Bar Date shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action,
order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims,
unless such late Proof of Claim has been deemed timely Filed by a Final Order.

 

H.
Amendments to Claims.

 

On
or after the Effective Date, a Claim may not be Filed or amended without the prior authorization of the Bankruptcy Court or the
Reorganized Debtors, and any such new or amended Claim Filed shall be deemed disallowed in full and expunged without any further
notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court to the maximum extent provided by applicable law.

 

I.
No Distributions Pending Allowance.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, if any portion of a Claim or Interest is a Disputed Claim or Interest, as applicable, no payment
or distribution provided hereunder shall be made on account of such Claim or Interest unless and until such Disputed Claim or
Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Interest; provided, that if only the Allowed amount of an otherwise valid Claim or
Interest is Disputed, such Claim or Interest shall be deemed Allowed in the amount not Disputed and payment or distribution shall
be made on account of such undisputed amount.

 

J.
Distributions After Allowance.

 

To
the extent that a Disputed Claim or Interest ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim or Interest, distributions (if any) shall be
made to the Holder of such Allowed Claim or Interest in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. As soon as reasonably practicable
after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim or Interest becomes a Final Order,
the Disbursing Agent shall provide to the Holder of such Claim or Interest the distribution (if any) to which such Holder is entitled
under the Plan as of the Effective Date, without any interest to be paid on account of such Claim or Interest.

 

K.
Single Satisfaction of Claims.

 

Holders
of Allowed Claims or Allowed Interests may assert such Claims against the Debtors obligated with respect to such Claims, and such
Claims shall be entitled to share in the recovery provided for the applicable Claim or Interest against the Debtors based upon
the full Allowed amount of such Claims or Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall the aggregate value of all
property received or retained under the Plan on account of any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest exceed 100 percent of the underlying
Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest.

Article
VIII.

SETTLEMENT, RELEASE, INJUNCTION, AND RELATED PROVISIONS

 

A.
Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests.

 

Pursuant
to section 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Definitive Documents, the Plan,
or in any contract, instrument, or other agreement or document created or entered into pursuant to the Plan, the distributions,
rights, and treatment that are provided in the Plan shall be in complete satisfaction, discharge, and release, effective as of
the Effective Date, of Claims (including any Intercompany Claims resolved or compromised after the Effective Date by the Reorganized
Debtors), Interests, and Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on Claims or Interests from
and after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities of, Liens on, obligations of, rights against, and
interests in, the Debtors or any of their assets or properties, regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed
or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims and Interests, including demands, liabilities, and Causes of Action
that arose before the Effective Date, any liability (including withdrawal liability) to the extent such Claims or Interests relate
to services performed by employees of the Debtors prior to the Effective Date and that arise from a termination of employment,
any contingent or non-contingent liability on account of representations or warranties issued on or before the Effective Date,
and all debts of the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case whether or not:
(1) a Proof of Claim based upon such debt or right is Filed or deemed Filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code; (2)
a Claim or Interest based upon such debt, right, or interest is Allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (3)
the Holder of such a Claim or Interest has accepted the Plan. Any default by the Debtors or their Affiliates with respect to any
Claim or Interest that existed immediately prior to or on account of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases shall be deemed cured
on the Effective Date. The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims (other than the
Reinstated Claims) and Interests (other than the Intercompany Interests that are Reinstated) subject to the occurrence of the
Effective Date.

 

B.
Release of Liens.

 

Except
as otherwise provided in the Exit Facility Documentation, the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or in any contract, instrument, release,
or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date and concurrently with the applicable distributions
made pursuant to the Plan and, in the case of a Secured Claim, satisfaction in full of the portion of the Secured Claim that
is Allowed as of the Effective Date, except for Other Secured Claims that the Debtors elect to Reinstate in accordance with the
Plan, all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estates shall be
fully released and discharged, and all of the right, title, and interest of any Holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens,
pledges, or other security interests shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors and their successors and assigns, in each case, without
any further approval or order of the Bankruptcy Court and without any action or Filing being required to be made by the Debtors
or Reorganized Debtors, or any other Holder of a Secured Claim. Any Holder of such Secured Claim (and the applicable agents for
such Holder) shall be authorized and directed, at the sole cost and expense of the Reorganized Debtors, to release any collateral
or other property of any Debtor (including any cash collateral and possessory collateral) held by such Holder (and the applicable
agents for such Holder), and to take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the Reorganized Debtors to evidence the release
of such Liens and/or security interests, including the execution, delivery, and filing or recording of such releases. The presentation
or filing of the Confirmation Order to or with any federal, state, provincial, or local agency, records office, or department
shall constitute good and sufficient evidence of, but shall not be required to effect, the termination of such mortgages, deeds
of trust, Liens, pledges, and other security interests.

 

    49

     

    

 

To
the extent that any Holder of a Secured Claim that has been satisfied or discharged in full pursuant to the Plan, or any agent
for such Holder, has filed or recorded publicly any Liens and/or security interests to secure such Holder’s Secured Claim,
then as soon as practicable on or after the Effective Date, such Holder (or the agent for such Holder) shall take any and all
steps requested by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Exit Facility Agents that are necessary or desirable to record
or effectuate the cancellation and/or extinguishment of such Liens and/or security interests, including the making of any applicable
filings or recordings, and the Reorganized Debtors shall be entitled to make any such filings or recordings on such Holder’s
behalf.

 

C.
Releases by the Debtors.

 

Notwithstanding
anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, for good and valuable consideration,
on and after the Effective Date, each Released Party is deemed released and discharged by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors,
and their Estates from any and all claims and Causes of Action, whether known or unknown, including any derivative claims, asserted
by or on behalf of the Debtors, that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or their Estates (as applicable) would have been legally
entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the Holder of any Claim against or
Interest in a Debtor or other Entity, or that any Holder of any Claim against or Interest in a Debtor or other Entity could have
asserted on behalf of the Debtors, based on or relating to or in any manner arising from in whole or in part, the Debtors (including
the management, ownership, or operation thereof), any Securities issued by the Debtors and the ownership thereof, the Debtors’

the Restructuring Transactions; or (ii) the rights of any Holder of Allowed Claims to receive distributions under the Plan.

 

    50

discharged each Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, and Released Party from any and all claims and Causes of Action, whether known or

of the RBL/DIP Preserved Rights.

 

    51

     

    

 

Entry
of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the third-party
release, which includes by reference each of the related provisions and definitions contained in the Plan, and, further, shall
constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that the third-party release is: (a) consensual; (b) essential to the Confirmation;
(c) given in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties, including, without limitation,
the Released Parties’ contributions to facilitating the restructuring and implementing the Plan; (d) a good faith settlement

and their Estates; (f) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (g) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (h) a

Except
as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, no Exculpated Party shall have or incur liability for,
and each Exculpated Party shall be released and exculpated from any claims and Cause of Action for any claim related to any act
or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of, the Chapter 11 Cases, the formulation, preparation, dissemination,

jurisdiction to have constituted actual fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence, but in all respects such Entities shall
be entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities pursuant to the Plan.

 

The
Exculpated Parties have, and upon Confirmation shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with the
applicable laws with regard to the solicitation of votes and distribution of consideration pursuant to the Plan and, therefore,
are not, and on account of such distributions shall not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule,
or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan.

 

    52

permanently enjoined from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the following actions against, as applicable, the Debtors,
the Reorganized Debtors, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties: (1) commencing or continuing in any manner any action,
suit, or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any Released Claims; (2) enforcing,
attaching, collecting, or recovering by any manner or means any judgment, award, decree, or order against such Entities on account
of or in connection with or with respect to any Released Claims; (3) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any lien or encumbrance
of any kind against such Entities or the Estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any Released
Claims; (4) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation, or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due from such Entities
or against the property or the Estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any Released Claims
unless such Entity has Filed a motion requesting the right to perform such setoff on or before the Effective Date, and notwithstanding
an indication of a Claim or Interest or otherwise that such Entity asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant
to applicable Law or otherwise; and (5) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account
of or in connection with or with respect to any Released Claims released or settled pursuant to the Plan.

 

Upon
entry of the Confirmation Order, all Holders of Claims and Interests and their respective current and former employees, agents,
officers, directors, managers, principals, and direct and indirect Affiliates, in their capacities as such, shall be enjoined
from taking any actions to interfere with the implementation or Consummation of the Plan. Each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed
Interest, as applicable, by accepting, or being eligible to accept, distributions under or Reinstatement of such Claim or Interest,
as applicable, pursuant to the Plan, shall be deemed to have consented to the injunction provisions set forth in this Article
VIII.F hereof.

 

G.
Protections Against Discriminatory Treatment.

 

Consistent
with section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, all Entities, including Governmental
Units, shall not discriminate against the Reorganized Debtors or deny, revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew a license, permit,
charter, franchise, or other similar grant to, condition such a grant to, discriminate with respect to such a grant against, the
Reorganized Debtors, or another Entity with whom the Reorganized Debtors have been associated, solely because each Debtor has
been a debtor under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, has been insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (or
during the Chapter 11 Cases but before the Debtors are granted or denied a discharge), or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable
in the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

H.
Document Retention.

 

On
and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may maintain documents in accordance with their standard document retention
policy, as may be altered, amended, modified, or supplemented by the Reorganized Debtors.

 

I.
Reimbursement or Contribution.

 

If
the Bankruptcy Court disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an Entity pursuant to section 502(e)(1)(B) of
the Bankruptcy Code, then to the extent that such Claim is contingent as of the time of allowance or disallowance, such Claim
shall be forever disallowed and expunged notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless prior to the Confirmation
Date: (1) such Claim has been adjudicated as non-contingent or (2) the relevant Holder of a Claim has Filed a non-contingent
Proof of Claim on account of such Claim and a Final Order has been entered prior to the Confirmation Date determining such Claim
as no longer contingent.

EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN

 

Upon

findings of fact and conclusions of law as though made after due deliberation and upon the record at the Confirmation Hearing.
Upon entry of the Confirmation Order, any and all findings of fact in the Plan shall constitute findings of fact even if they
are stated as conclusions of law, and any and all conclusions of law in the Plan shall constitute conclusions of law even if they
are stated as findings of fact.

 

A.
Jurisdiction and Venue.

 

On
the Petition Date, the Debtors commenced the Chapter 11 Cases by filing voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors were and are qualified to be debtors under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code. Venue in the Southern
District of Texas was proper as of the Petition Date and continues to be proper. Confirmation of the Plan is a core proceeding
under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2). The Bankruptcy Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 1334 and the Bankruptcy Court has exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether the Plan complies with the applicable provisions
of the Bankruptcy Code and should be confirmed.

 

B.
Order Approving the Disclosure Statement

 

On

and (b) approved certain procedures and documents for soliciting and tabulating votes with respect to the Plan.

Statement Order, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and all other applicable rules, Laws, and regulations. Pursuant to
sections 1124 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, at least one Impaired Class entitled to vote on the Plan has voted to accept the
Plan.

 

D.
Judicial Notice.

 

The
Bankruptcy Court takes judicial notice of the docket of the Chapter 11 Cases maintained by the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and/or
its duly appointed agent, including all pleadings and other documents Filed, all orders entered, and all evidence and arguments
made, proffered, or adduced at the hearings held before the Bankruptcy Court during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases (including
the Confirmation Hearing). Resolutions of any objections to Confirmation explained on the record at the Confirmation Hearing are
hereby incorporated by reference. All entries on the docket of the Chapter 11 Cases shall constitute the record before the Bankruptcy
Court for purposes of the Confirmation Hearing.

E.
Transmittal and Mailing of Materials; Notice.

 

Due,
adequate, and sufficient notice of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Confirmation Hearing, and the
release and exculpation provisions set forth in Article VIII of the Plan, along with all deadlines for voting on or objecting
to the Plan, in compliance with Bankruptcy Rules 2002(b), 3017, 3019, and 3020(b) and the Disclosure Statement Order, has been
given to (1) all known Holders of Claims and Interests, (2) parties that requested notice in accordance with Bankruptcy
Rule 2002, (3) all parties to Unexpired Leases and Executory Contracts, and (4) all taxing authorities listed in the Claims Register.
Such transmittal and service were appropriate, adequate, and sufficient. Adequate and sufficient notice of the Confirmation Hearing
and other dates, deadlines, and hearings described in the Disclosure Statement Order was given in compliance with the Bankruptcy
Rules and such order, and no other or further notice is or shall be required.

 

F.
Solicitation.

 

Votes
for acceptance and rejection of the Plan were solicited in good faith and complied with sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy
Code, Bankruptcy Rules 3017, 3018, and 3019, the Disclosure Statement Order, all other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code and all other applicable rules, Laws, and regulations. The Debtors and the Released Parties solicited acceptance of
the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and they participated in good faith,
and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code in the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of New Common
Stock or New Preferred Stock and any debt securities that were offered or sold under the Plan and, pursuant to section 1125(e)
of the Bankruptcy Code, and no Released Party is or shall be liable on account of such solicitation for violation of any applicable
law, rule, or regulation governing solicitation of acceptance of a chapter 11 plan or the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of
such debt securities.

 

G.
Burden of Proof.

 

The
Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have satisfied their burden of proving the elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of the evidence, which is the applicable evidentiary standard. The Debtors have satisfied the
elements of section 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code by clear and convincing evidence.

 

H.
Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a) Compliance.

 

The
Plan is dated and identifies the proponents thereof, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a).

 

I.
Compliance with the Requirements of Section 1129
of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

The
Plan complies with all requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code as follows:

 

		1.	Section
                                         1129(a)(1)–Compliance of the Plan with Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy
                                         Code.

 

The
Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code as required by section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code,
including sections 1121, 1122, 1123, and 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

		a.	Standing.

 

Each
of the Debtors has standing to file a plan and the Debtors, therefore, have satisfied section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

    57

     

    

 

		b.	Proper
                                         Classification.

 

Pursuant
to sections 1122(a) and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan designates Classes of Claims and Interests,
other than Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, DIP Claims, and Priority Tax Claims, which are not required to
be classified. As required by section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, each Class of Claims and Interests contains only Claims
or Interests that are substantially similar to the other Claims or Interests within such Class.

 

		c.	Specification
                                         of Unimpaired Classes.

 

Pursuant
to section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan specifies all Classes of Claims and Interests that
are not Impaired.

 

		d.	Specification
                                         of Treatment of Impaired Classes.

 

Pursuant
to section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan specifies the treatment of all Classes of Claims
and Interests that are Impaired.

 

		e.	No
                                         Discrimination.

 

Pursuant
to section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan provides the same treatment for each Claim or Interest
within a particular Class, as the case may be, unless the Holder of a particular Claim or Interest has agreed to less favorable
treatment with respect to such Claim or Interest, as applicable.

 

		f.	Plan
                                         Implementation.

 

Pursuant
to section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan provides adequate and proper means for the Plan’s implementation.
Immediately upon the Effective Date, sufficient Cash and other consideration provided under the Plan will be available to make
all payments required to be made on the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Moreover, Article IV and various
other provisions of the Plan specifically provide adequate means for the Plan’s implementation.

 

		g.	Voting
                                         Power of Equity Securities; Selection of Officer, Director, or Trustee under the Plan.

 

The
New Organizational Documents comply with sections 1123(a)(6) and 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

		h.	Impairment/Unimpairment
                                         of Classes of Claims and Equity Interests.

 

Pursuant
to section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, (i) Class 1 (Other Secured Claims) and Class 2 (Other Priority Claims) are
Unimpaired under the Plan, (ii) Class 3 (RBL Claims), Class 4A (General Unsecured Claims against Gulfport Parent), Class
4B (General Unsecured Claims against Gulfport Subsidiaries), Class 7 (Existing Interests in Gulfport Parent), and Class 8 (Section
510(b) Claims) are Impaired under the Plan, and (iii) Class 5 (Intercompany Claims) and Class 6 (Intercompany Interests) are either
Unimpaired or Impaired under the Plan at the discretion of the Debtors.

 

		i.	Assumption
                                         and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

 

In
accordance with section 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to Article V of the Plan, on the Effective Date, each
Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed assumed except as provided in Article V.A. The assumption of Executory
Contracts and Unexpired Leases hereunder may include the assignment of certain of such contracts to Affiliates.

 

    58

     

    

 

The
Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment in determining whether to reject, assume, or assume and assign each of their
Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases under the terms of the Plan. Each pre- or post-Confirmation rejection, assumption, or
assumption and assignment of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to Article V of the Plan will be legal,
valid, and binding upon the applicable Debtor and all other parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, as applicable,
all to the same extent as if such rejection, assumption, or assumption and assignment had been effectuated pursuant to an appropriate
order of the Court entered before the Confirmation Date under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of the Executory Contracts
and Unexpired Leases to be rejected, assumed, or assumed and assigned is deemed to be an Executory Contract or an Unexpired Lease,
as applicable.

 

		j.	Settlement
                                         of Claims and Causes of Action.

 

All
of the settlements and compromises pursuant to and in connection with the Plan or incorporated by reference into the Plan comply
with the requirements of section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019.

 

Pursuant
to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided
under the Plan, any and all compromise and settlement provisions of the Plan constitute good-faith compromises, are in the best
interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and all Holders of Claims and Interests, and are fair, equitable, and reasonable.

 

Specifically,
the settlements and compromises pursuant to and in connection with the Plan are substantively fair based on the following factors,
as applicable: (a) the balance between the litigation’s possibility of success and the settlement’s future benefits;
(b) the likelihood of complex and protracted litigation and risk and difficulty of collecting on the judgment; (c) the proportion
of creditors and parties in interest that support the settlement; (d) the competency of counsel reviewing the settlement; (e)
the nature and breadth of releases to be obtained by officers and directors; and (f) the extent to which the settlement is
the product of arm’s-length bargaining.

 

		k.	Cure
                                         of Defaults.

 

Article
V.C of the Plan provides for the satisfaction of default claims associated with each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease
to be assumed in accordance with section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Cure costs noticed to counterparties to Executory
Contracts and Unexpired Leases represent the amount, if any, the Debtors propose to pay in full and complete satisfaction of such
default claims. Any disputed Cure amounts will be determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article V.C
of the Plan, and applicable bankruptcy and nonbankruptcy law. As such, the Plan provides that the Debtors will cure, or provide
adequate assurance that the Debtors will promptly cure, defaults with Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases in compliance with
section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, the Plan complies with section 1123(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

		l.	Other
                                         Appropriate Provisions.

 

The
Plan’s other provisions are appropriate and consistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including
provisions for (i) distributions to Holders of Claims and Interests, (ii) objections to Claims, (iii) procedures for resolving
Disputed, contingent, and unliquidated Claims, (iv) Cure amounts, procedures governing Cure disputes, and (v) indemnification
obligations.

 

    59

     

    

 

		2.	Section
                                         1129(a)(2)–Compliance of Plan Proponents with Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy
                                         Code.

 

The
Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have complied with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code as required by section
1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 3017, 3018, and
3019. In particular, the Debtors are proper debtors under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code and proper proponents of the Plan
under section 1121(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Furthermore, the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan was
(i) pursuant to the Disclosure Statement Order, (ii) in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations governing
the adequacy of disclosure in connection with such solicitation, and (iii) solicited after disclosure to Holders of Claims or
Interests of adequate information as defined in section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the Debtors and their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, and Professionals have acted in “good faith” within the meaning
of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

3. Section
1129(a)(3)–Proposal of Plan in Good Faith.

 

The
Debtors have proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means forbidden by Law based on the totality of the circumstances
surrounding the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan itself, and the process leading to its formulation. The Chapter 11 Cases
were filed, and the Plan was proposed, with the legitimate purpose of allowing the Debtors to reorganize.

 

4. Section
1129(a)(4)–Bankruptcy Court Approval of Certain Payments as Reasonable.

 

Pursuant
to section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, the payments to be made for services or for costs in connection with the Chapter
11 Cases or the Plan are approved. The fees and expenses incurred by Professionals retained by the Debtors shall be payable according
to the orders approving such Professionals’ retentions, other applicable Bankruptcy Court orders, or as otherwise provided
in the Plan.

 

		5.	Section
                                         1129(a)(5)–Disclosure of Identity of Proposed Management, Compensation of Insiders,
                                         and Consistency of Management Proposals with the Interests of Creditors and Public Policy.

 

Pursuant
to section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, information concerning the individuals proposed to serve on the New Board and as
management of Reorganized Gulfport Parent, and each such individual’s compensation upon Consummation of the Plan, has been
fully disclosed in the Plan Supplement to the extent available, and the appointment to, or continuance in, such office of such
person is consistent with the interests of Holders of Claims and Interests and with public policy.

 

6. Section
1129(a)(6)–Approval of Rate Changes.

 

Section
1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is not applicable because the Plan does not provide for rate changes by any of the Debtors.

 

7. Section
1129(a)(7)–Best Interests of Creditors and Interest Holders.

 

The
liquidation analysis included in the Disclosure Statement, and the other evidence related thereto that was proffered or adduced
at or prior to, or in affidavits or declarations in connection with, the Confirmation Hearing, is reasonable. The methodology
used and assumptions made in such liquidation analysis, as supplemented by the evidence proffered or adduced at or prior to, or
in affidavits or declarations Filed in connection with, the Confirmation Hearing, are reasonable. With respect to each Impaired
Class, each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in such Class has accepted the Plan or will receive under the Plan
on account of such Claim or Interest property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount such Holder
would receive if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

    60

     

    

 

		8.	Section
                                         1129(a)(8)–Conclusive Presumption of Acceptance by Unimpaired Classes; Acceptance
                                         of the Plan by Each Impaired Class.

 

Certain
Classes of Claims and Interests are Unimpaired and are deemed conclusively to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f)
of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, at least one Impaired Class that was entitled to vote has voted to accept the Plan. Because
the Plan provides that the certain Classes of Claims and Interests will be Impaired and because no distributions shall be made
to Holders in such Classes, such Holders are deemed conclusively to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the
Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

 

		9.	Section
                                         1129(a)(9)–Treatment of Claims Entitled to Priority Pursuant to Section 507(a)
                                         of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

The
treatment of Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, DIP Claims, and Priority Tax Claims under Article II
of the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

10. Section
1129(a)(10)–Acceptance by at Least One Impaired Class.

 

At
least one Impaired Class has voted to accept the Plan. Accordingly, section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code is satisfied.

 

11. Section
1129(a)(11)–Feasibility of the Plan.

 

The
Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code. Based upon the evidence proffered or adduced at, or prior to, or in
affidavits or declarations Filed in connection with, the Confirmation Hearing, the Plan is feasible and Confirmation of the Plan
is not likely to be followed by the liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization, of the Debtors or any successor
to the Debtors under the Plan, except as such liquidation is proposed in the Plan. Furthermore, the Debtors will have adequate
assets to satisfy their respective obligations under the Plan.

 

12. Section
1129(a)(12)–Payment of Bankruptcy Fees.

 

Article
II.E of the Plan provides for the payment of all fees payable under section 1930(a) of the Judicial Code in accordance with section
1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

13. Section
1129(a)(13)–Retiree Benefits.

 

The
Plan provides for the treatment of all retiree benefits in accordance with section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

14. Section
1129(a)(14)–Domestic Support Obligations.

 

The
Debtors are not required by a judicial or administrative order, or by statute, to pay any domestic support obligations, and therefore,
section 1129(a)(14) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.

 

15. Section
1129(a)(15)–The Debtors Are Not Individuals.

 

The
Debtors are not individuals, and therefore, section 1129(a)(15) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.

 

    61

     

    

 

16. Section
1129(a)(16)–No Applicable Nonbankruptcy Law Regarding Transfers.

 

Each
of the Debtors that is a corporation is a moneyed, business, or commercial corporation or trust, and therefore, section 1129(a)(16)
of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.

 

17. Section
1129(b)–Confirmation of Plan Over Rejection of Impaired Classes.

 

The
Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Classes presumed to have rejected
the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code or that have actually rejected the Plan (if any). To determine whether
a plan is “fair and equitable” with respect to a class of Claims, section 1129(b)(2)(B)(ii) of the Bankruptcy Code
provides in pertinent part that “the holder of any claim or interest that is junior to the claims of such class will not
receive or retain under the plan on account of such junior claim or interest any property.” To determine whether a plan
is “fair and equitable” with respect to a class of interests, section 1129(b)(2)(C)(ii) of the Bankruptcy Code provides
that “the holder of any interest that is junior to the interests of such class will not receive or retain under the plan
on account of such junior interest any property.” There are no classes junior to the deemed (or actual) rejecting classes
of claims or interests that will receive any distribution under the Plan. The Plan, therefore, satisfies the requirements of section
1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

18. Section
1129(c)–Confirmation of Only One Plan With Respect to the Debtors.

 

The
Plan is the only plan that has been Filed in these Chapter 11 Cases with respect to the Debtors. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies
the requirements of section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

19. Section
1129(d)–Principal Purpose Not Avoidance of Taxes.

 

The
principal purpose of the Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of section 5 of the Securities
Act. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

20. Section
1129(e)–Small Business Case.

 

Section
1129(e) is inapplicable because these Chapter 11 Cases do not qualify as small business cases.

 

J.
Securities Under the Plan.

 

Pursuant
to the Plan, and without further corporate or other action, the New Common Stock, the New Preferred Stock, and any debt issued
or assumed by the Reorganized Debtors will be issued, entered into, or assumed, as applicable, on the Effective Date subject to
the terms of the Plan.

 

K.
Releases and Discharges.

 

The
releases and discharges of Claims and Causes of Action described in the Plan, including releases by the Debtors and by Holders
of Claims and Interests, constitute good faith compromises and settlements of the matters covered thereby. Such compromises and
settlements are made in exchange for consideration and are in the best interest of Holders of Claims and Interests, are fair,
equitable, reasonable, and are integral elements of the resolution of the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Plan. Each of
the discharge, release, indemnification, and exculpation provisions set forth in the Plan: (a) is within the jurisdiction of the
Court under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334(a), 1334(b), and 1334(d); (b) is an essential means of implementing the Plan pursuant
to section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code; (c) is an integral element of the transactions incorporated into the Plan; (d) confers
material benefit on, and is in the best interests of, the Debtors, their estates, and their creditors; (e) is important to the
overall objectives of the Plan to finally resolve all Claims and Interests among or against the parties in interest in the Chapter
11 Cases with respect to the Debtors; (f) is consistent with sections 105, 1123, 1129, and all other applicable provisions of
the Bankruptcy Code; (g) is given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (h), without limiting the foregoing,
with respect to the releases and injunctions in Article VIII of the Plan, are (i) essential elements of the Restructuring
Transactions and Plan, terms and conditions without which the Consenting Stakeholders would not have entered into the Restructuring
Support Agreement and (ii) narrowly tailored. Further, the injunction set forth in Article VIII is an essential component
of the Plan, the fruit of long-term negotiations, and achieved by the exchange of good and valuable consideration in the Chapter
11 Cases.

 

    62

     

    

 

L.
Release and Retention of Causes of Action.

 

It
is in the best interests of Holders of Claims and Interests that the provisions in Article VIII of the Plan be approved.

 

M.
Approval of Restructuring Support Agreement,
Backstop Commitment Agreement, and Other Restructuring Documents and Agreements.

 

All
documents and agreements necessary to implement the Plan, including the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Backstop Commitment
Agreement, and the other Restructuring Transaction are essential elements of the Plan, are necessary to consummate the Plan and
the Restructuring Transaction, and entry into and consummation of the transactions contemplated by each such document and agreement
is in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and Holders of Claims and Interests. The Debtors have exercised reasonable
business judgment in determining which agreements to enter into and have provided sufficient and adequate notice of such documents
and agreements. The terms and conditions of such documents and agreements have been negotiated in good faith, at arm’s length,
are fair and reasonable, and are hereby reaffirmed and approved, and, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and execution
and delivery in accordance with their respective terms, shall be in full force and effect and valid, binding, and enforceable
in accordance with their respective terms, without the need for any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy
Court, or other action under applicable law, regulation, or rule.

 

N.
Confirmation Hearing Exhibits.

 

All
of the exhibits presented at the Confirmation Hearing have been properly received into evidence and are a part of the record before
the Bankruptcy Court.

 

O.
Objections to Confirmation of the Plan.

 

Any
and all objections to Confirmation have been withdrawn, settled, overruled, or otherwise resolved.

 

P.
Retention of Jurisdiction.

 

The
Bankruptcy Court may properly retain jurisdiction over the matters set forth in Article XII of the Plan and section 1142
of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

Q.
Plan Supplement.

 

The
Debtors Filed the Plan Supplement. All of the documents contained in the Plan Supplement comply with the terms of the Plan, and
the filing and notice of such documents was adequate, proper and in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules.

 

    63

     

    

 

Article
XI.

MODIFICATION, REVOCATION, OR WITHDRAWAL OF THIS PLAN

 

A.
Modification and Amendments.

 

Except
as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan and subject to the Restructuring Support Agreement (including the Consenting Stakeholder
Consent Rights), the Debtors reserve the right to modify the Plan, whether such modification is material or immaterial, and seek
Confirmation consistent with the Bankruptcy Code and, as appropriate, not resolicit votes on such modified Plan. Subject to those
restrictions on modifications set forth in the Plan and the requirements of section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, Rule 3019
of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, and, to the extent applicable, sections 1122, 1123, and 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code,
each of the Debtors expressly reserves its respective rights to revoke or withdraw, or to alter, amend, or modify the Plan with
respect to such Debtor, one or more times, after Confirmation, and, to the extent necessary may initiate proceedings in the Bankruptcy
Court to so alter, amend, or modify the Plan, or remedy any defect or omission, or reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan,
the Disclosure Statement, or the Confirmation Order, in such matters as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and intent
of the Plan; provided that each of the foregoing actions shall not violate the Restructuring Support Agreement or the Consenting
Stakeholder Consent Rights.

 

B.
Effect of Confirmation on Modifications.

 

Entry
of the Confirmation Order shall mean that all modifications or amendments to the Plan since the solicitation thereof are approved
pursuant to section 1127(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and do not require additional disclosure or resolicitation under Bankruptcy
Rule 3019.

 

C.
Revocation or Withdrawal of Plan.

 

To
the extent permitted by the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan prior
to the Confirmation Date and to File subsequent plans of reorganization. If the Debtors revoke or withdraw the Plan, or if Confirmation
or Consummation does not occur, then: (1) the Plan shall be null and void in all respects; (2) any settlement or compromise
embodied in the Plan (including the fixing or limiting to an amount certain of any Claim or Interest or Class of Claims or Interests),
assumption or rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases effected under the Plan, and any document or agreement executed
pursuant to the Plan, shall be deemed null and void; and (3) nothing contained in the Plan shall: (a) constitute a waiver
or release of any Claims or Interests; (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of such Debtor or any other Entity; or (c) constitute
an admission, acknowledgement, offer, or undertaking of any sort by such Debtor or any other Entity.

 

Article
XII.

RETENTION OF JURISDICTION

 

Notwithstanding
the entry of the Confirmation Order and the occurrence of the Effective Date, on and after the Effective Date, the Bankruptcy
Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of, or relating to, the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan pursuant
to sections 105(a) and 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, including jurisdiction to:

 

		a.	allow,
                                         disallow, determine, liquidate, classify, estimate, or establish the priority, secured
                                         or unsecured status, or amount of any Claim or Interest, including the resolution of
                                         any request for payment of any Administrative Claim and the resolution of any and all
                                         objections to the secured or unsecured status, priority, amount, or allowance of Claims
                                         or Interests;

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

A.
Immediate Binding Effect.

 

Subject
to Article IX.A hereof, and notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rules 3020(e), 6004(h), or 7062 or otherwise, upon the occurrence
of the Effective Date, the terms of the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the documents and instruments contained in
the Plan Supplement) shall be immediately effective and enforceable and deemed binding upon the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors,
any and all Holders of Claims or Interests (irrespective of whether such Holders of Claims or Interests have, or are deemed to
have, accepted the Plan), all Entities that are parties to or are subject to the settlements, compromises, releases, discharges,
and injunctions described in the Plan, each Entity acquiring property under the Plan, and any and all non-Debtor parties to Executory
Contracts and Unexpired Leases with the Debtors. All Claims and Interests shall be as fixed, adjusted, or compromised, as applicable,
pursuant to the Plan regardless of whether any Holder of a Claim or Interest has voted on the Plan.

 

B.
Additional Documents.

 

On
or before the Effective Date, and consistent in all respects with the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Backstop
Commitment Agreement, the Debtors may file with the Bankruptcy Court such agreements and other documents as may be necessary to
effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Restructuring Support Agreement. The Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and all Holders of Claims or Interests receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan and all
other parties in interest shall, from time to time, prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or documents and take any other
actions as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions and intent of the Plan.

 

    66

     

    

 

C.
Statutory Committee and Cessation of Fee and
Expense Payment.

 

On
the Confirmation Date, any statutory committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases shall dissolve and members thereof shall be released

responsible for paying any fees or expenses incurred by the members of or advisors to any statutory committees after the Confirmation
Date.

 

D.
Reservation of Rights.

 

Except
as expressly set forth in the Plan, the Plan shall have no force or effect unless the Bankruptcy Court shall enter the Confirmation
Order, and the Confirmation Order shall have no force or effect if the Effective Date does not occur. None of the Filing of the
Plan, any statement or provision contained in the Plan, or the taking of any action by any Debtor or Consenting Noteholder, Consenting
RBL Lender, Agent, L/C Issuing Bank, or DIP Lender, as applicable, with respect to the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the
Plan Supplement shall be or shall be deemed to be an admission or waiver of any rights of any Debtor, Consenting Noteholder, Agent,
RBL Lender, L/C Issuing Bank, or DIP Lender, as applicable, with respect to the Holders of Claims or Interests prior to the Effective
Date.

 

E.
Successors and Assigns.

 

The
rights, benefits, and obligations of any Entity named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit
of any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign, Affiliate, officer, manager, director, agent, representative, attorney,
beneficiaries, or guardian, if any, of each Entity.

 

    67

After
the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors have the authority to send a notice to Entities that to continue to receive documents
pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002, an Entity must file a renewed request to receive documents  pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002.
After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors are authorized to limit the list of Entities receiving documents pursuant to
Bankruptcy Rule 2002 to those Entities who have Filed such renewed requests.

 

G.
Term of Injunctions or Stays.

 

Unless
otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays in effect in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant
to sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any order of the Bankruptcy Court, and extant on the Confirmation Date (excluding
any injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order) shall remain in full force and effect until the
Effective Date. All injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect
in accordance with their terms.

 

H.
Entire Agreement.

 

Except
as otherwise indicated, and without limiting the effectiveness of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Plan (including, for
the avoidance of doubt, the documents and instruments in the Plan Supplement) supersedes all previous and contemporaneous negotiations,
promises, covenants, agreements, understandings, and representations on such subjects, all of which have become merged and integrated
into the Plan.

 

I.
Plan Supplement.

 

All
exhibits and documents included in the Plan Supplement are an integral part of the Plan and are incorporated into and are a part
of the Plan as if set forth in full in the Plan. After the exhibits and documents are Filed, copies of such exhibits and documents
shall be available upon written request to the Debtors’ counsel at the address above or by downloading such exhibits and
documents from the Debtors’ restructuring website at http://dm.epiq11.com/gulfport or the Bankruptcy Court’s website
at www.txs.uscourts.gov/bankruptcy. To the extent any exhibit or document in the Plan Supplement is inconsistent with the
terms of the Plan, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the Plan Supplement document or exhibit shall control (unless
stated otherwise in such Plan Supplement document or exhibit or in the Confirmation Order).

 

    69

     

    

 

J.
Nonseverability of Plan Provisions.

 

If,
prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable,
the Bankruptcy Court shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the
maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable,
and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted; provided, however, any such alteration
or interpretation must be consistent with the Restructuring Support Agreement (and subject to the Consenting Stakeholder Consent
Rights). Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan
will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or
interpretation.

 

The
Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it
may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is: (1) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms;
(2) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified without the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ consent,
as applicable; and (3) nonseverable and mutually dependent.

 

K.
Votes Solicited in Good Faith.

 

Upon
entry of the Confirmation Order, the Debtors will be deemed to have solicited votes on the Plan in good faith and in compliance
with section 1125(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, and pursuant to section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors and each
of their respective Affiliates, agents, representatives, members, principals, shareholders, officers, directors, managers, employees,
advisors, and attorneys will be deemed to have participated in good faith and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code in the offer,
issuance, sale, and purchase of Securities offered and sold under the Plan and any previous plan, and, therefore, no such parties
nor individuals nor the Reorganized Debtors will have any liability for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation
governing the solicitation of votes on the Plan or the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of the Securities offered and sold under
the Plan and any previous plan.

 

L.
Closing of Chapter 11 Cases.

 

On
and after the Effective Date, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors shall be permitted to close all of the Chapter 11 Cases of the
Debtors except for the Chapter 11 Case of Debtor Mule Sky LLC and any other Debtor identified in the Restructuring Steps Memorandum
as having its Chapter 11 Case remain open following the Effective Date, and all contested matters relating to any of the Debtors,
including objections to Claims and any adversary proceedings, shall be administered and heard in the Chapter 11 Case of Debtor
Mule Sky LLC, irrespective of whether such Claim(s) were Filed or such adversary proceeding was commenced against a Debtor whose
Chapter 11 Case was closed.

 

When
all Disputed Claims have become Allowed or disallowed and all distributions have been made in accordance with the Plan, the Reorganized
Debtors shall seek authority to close any remaining Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy
Rules.

 

M.
Waiver or Estoppel.

 

Each
Holder of a Claim or an Interest shall be deemed to have waived any right to assert any argument, including the right to argue
that its Claim or Interest should be Allowed in a certain amount, in a certain priority, secured or not subordinated by virtue
of an agreement made with the Debtors or their counsel, or any other Entity, if such agreement was not disclosed in the Plan,
the Disclosure Statement, or papers Filed with the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Confirmation Date.

	 	(i)	Section 7 of this Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following phrase “, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed” in the third line thereof after the word “party” and before the word “, except”; provided that, among the reasons it shall be considered reasonable for a party to withhold its consent are the following:

 

	 	(1)	its credit department is unwilling to credit approve the transfer to the transferee, or if such approval is subject to collateral or other credit support arrangements, such collateral or credit support arrangements would not be in place and properly perfected at the time of such transfer to cover all existing and future obligations of the transferee or its credit support provider for the Transactions being transferred;

 

	 	(2)	it would be exposed to any increased legal, bankruptcy, regulatory or tax risks, liabilities or requirements as the result of such transfer (such risks to include, but not be limited to, the risk that settlement netting, close-out netting or collateral arrangements would not be enforceable in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the transferee or its credit support provider, the risk that collateral may be clawed back in a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding applicable to the transferee or its credit support provider, or the risk that the non-transferring party may not have a first perfected security interest or charge in the collateral to the exclusion of other creditors) or such transfer would cause it or the transferee to be in noncompliance with any legal or regulatory requirements;

 

	 	(3)	an Event of Default or Termination Event would exist before or after the transfer;

 

	 	(4)	there would be any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax from any payments it would be entitled to receive from the transferee for which the transferee is not obligated to fully gross up; or,

 

	 	(5)	when fewer than all Transactions are transferred, its credit exposure to the transferring party would increase as a result of the transfer.

 

	 	(ii)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Agreement, Party A hereby consents to Party B’s assignment by means of security of any of its rights hereunder pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

 

	 	(iii)	Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including Section 7 of this Agreement), subject to satisfaction of each of the Plan Emergence Hedge Conditions, to the extent there exists one or more Transactions between Party A and Party B on the Plan Effective Date, then:

 

    14

     

    

 

	Gulfport Energy Corporation |
    Template A&R ISDA Schedule	 

 

	 	(1)	Party B shall be deemed to assign its rights, obligations, duties and liabilities under this Agreement and each such Transaction (collectively, the “Agreement Obligations”) to Reorganized Party B;

 

	 	(2)	Reorganized Party B shall be deemed to accept and assume, and will confirm in writing such acceptance and assumption of, this Agreement and each Transaction, and all Agreement Obligations in relation thereto.

 

In this regard, and subject to
the satisfaction of the Plan Emergence Hedge Conditions and the retention of all of Party A’s rights hereunder, Party A consents
to the assignment by Party B of its Agreement Obligations to Reorganized Party B.

such financial statements fairly present, in accordance with accounting principles that are generally accepted for entities of
its type in the jurisdiction in which the relevant party is organized or formed, the financial condition of the relevant party
to which they relate as at the date of such financial statements.”

 

		(e)	Severability. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5(b)(i) or 5(b)(ii) of this Agreement, in the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor, in good faith negotiations, to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

		(f)	Certain Withholding Taxes. “Tax” as used in Part 2(a) (Payer Representations) of this A&R Schedule and “Indemnifiable Tax” as defined in Section 14 of this Agreement shall not include any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed or collected pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”).

                                         Backstop Party) shall have the right, but not the obligation, within three (3) Business

                                         Funding Default and to all Backstop Parties substantially concurrently (such three (3)
                                         Business Day period, the “Replacement Period”), to elect, by
                                         written notice to the Company, to purchase all or any portion of the New Convertible
                                         Preferred Stock attributable to such Defaulting Backstop Party’s Backstop Obligation
                                         or Subscription Rights (such purchase, a “Replacement Purchase”)
                                         on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in such amounts
                                         as may be agreed upon by all of the non-defaulting Backstop Parties that elect to purchase
                                         all or any portion of the New Convertible Preferred Stock attributable to such Defaulting
                                         Backstop Party (such Backstop Parties, the “Replacing Backstop Parties”),
                                         or, if no such agreement is reached by the date upon which the Replacement Period expires,
                                         the pro rata amount, based upon each Replacing Backstop Party’s Backstop
                                         Percentage to the aggregate Backstop Percentages of all the Replacing Backstop Parties,
                                         of the aggregate number of New Convertible Preferred Stock that have not been purchased
                                         as a result of such Funding Default. The purchase price paid by any Replacing Backstop
                                         Party for shares of New Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with a Replacement
                                         Purchase (the “Replacement Purchase Payment Amount”) shall
                                         be equal to the applicable portion of the Subscription Price and/or the Backstop Commitment
                                         of the Defaulting Backstop Party. Within one (1) Business Day from delivery of written
                                         notice of a Funding Default, any electing Backstop Parties will fund the Subscription

                                         Premium that would have been payable to such Defaulting Backstop Party had such Defaulting
                                         Backstop Party not defaulted shall instead be reallocated and paid to the Replacing Backstop
                                         Parties, pro rata, based on the allocation of the Replacement Purchase.

                                         in the most recently delivered Reserve Report, and the ownership of such properties shall

                                         recently delivered Reserve Report that is not offset by a corresponding proportionate

		3.17.2	Each
                                         Company Party is in compliance with all obligations under all material real property
                                         leases other than oil and gas leases to which it is a party (“Leased Real
                                         Property”), except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be
                                         expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and all
                                         such material real property leases are in full force and effect, except leases in respect
                                         of which the failure to be in full force and effect would not reasonably be expected
                                         to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company
                                         Parties enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such material leases, other
                                         than leases in respect of which the failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession
                                         would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
                                         Adverse Effect. The applicable Company Party has a good and valid leasehold interest
                                         in the Leased Real Property free and clear of all Liens, except where the failure to
                                         do so would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
                                         Adverse Effect. No Company Party owns a fee interest in any real property other than
                                         any fee title to oil and gas properties described in Section 3.17.1 above.

                                         or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No Company Party (a) has received notice

                                         to the Plan with the same effect as if made on and as of the Effective Date after giving

                                         true and correct would not reasonably be expected to have,
                                         individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

		7.1	Indemnification
                                         Obligations. The Company and the other Company Parties (the “Indemnifying
                                         Parties” and each, an “Indemnifying Party”) shall,

                                         Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Agreement
                                         or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any Legal Proceeding relating to any of the
                                         foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, whether or
                                         not such proceedings are brought by the Company, the other Company Parties, their respective
                                         equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other Person, and reimburse each Indemnified
                                         Person upon demand for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal or other third-party
                                         expenses of counsel (which, so long as there are no actual conflicts of interests among
                                         such Indemnified Persons, shall be limited to one law firm serving as counsel for the
                                         Indemnified Persons) incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or

                                         respect to, any Legal Proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including in connection
                                         with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth herein), irrespective
                                         of whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Plan are consummated
                                         or whether or not this Agreement is terminated; provided, that the foregoing indemnity
                                         will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Indemnified Losses (a) as to a Defaulting
                                         Backstop Party, its Affiliates or any Indemnified Person related thereto, principally
                                         caused by a default by such Defaulting Backstop Party (or Indemnified Persons related
                                         thereto) or any breach by any Backstop Party (or Indemnified Persons related thereto)
                                         under this Agreement, or (b) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable
                                         judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the willful misconduct or
                                         fraud of such Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
                                         the Indemnifying Parties will not be liable for, and no Indemnified Person shall claim
                                         or seek to recover, any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages.

		7.2	Indemnification
                                         Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement
                                         of any indemnified claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an “Indemnified
                                         Claim”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder
                                         against an Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify such Indemnifying Party in writing
                                         of the commencement thereof; provided, that (a) the omission to so notify the
                                         Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it
                                         may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially and irrevocably prejudiced
                                         by such failure and (b) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve
                                         the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Person
                                         other than on account of this Section 7.2 or otherwise under this Agreement. In
                                         case any such Indemnified Claims are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies
                                         the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled
                                         to participate therein, and, at its election by providing written notice to such Indemnified
                                         Person, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
                                         reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person; provided, that if the parties
                                         (including any impleaded parties) to any such Indemnified Claims include both such Indemnified
                                         Person and the Indemnifying Party and based on advice of such Indemnified Person's counsel
                                         there are legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from
                                         or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall
                                         have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
                                         participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claims; and provided, further,
                                         that the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of an Indemnified Claim
                                         (i) involving alleged or potential criminal liability, (ii) if such Indemnified
                                         Claim seeks primarily injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party,
                                         (iii) if a bona fide conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the
                                         Indemnified Party, or (iv) if the defense or prosecution of such Indemnified Claim has
                                         been tendered to the Indemnified Party’s insurance carrier and such insurance carrier
                                         has assumed the defense thereunder pursuant to such applicable insurance policy. Upon
                                         receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election
                                         to so assume the defense of such Indemnified Claims with counsel reasonably acceptable
                                         to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified
                                         Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense
                                         thereof or participation therein (other than reasonable and documented costs of investigation)
                                         unless (a) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel (in addition
                                         to any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance
                                         with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however,
                                         that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate
                                         counsel representing the Indemnified Persons who are parties to such Indemnified Claims
                                         (in addition to one local counsel in each jurisdiction in which local counsel is required)),
                                         (b) after the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Indemnified Claims, the Indemnified
                                         Person determines in good faith that the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing
                                         to defend such claim and provides written notice of such determination and the basis
                                         for such determination, and such failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business
                                         Days of receipt of such notice, or (c) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in
                                         writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person.

                                         of Indemnified Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written
                                         consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
                                         or delayed), effect any settlement compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment with
                                         respect to any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims in respect of which indemnity
                                         or contribution has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (a) such
                                         settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified
                                         Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnified
                                         Claims and (b) such settlement, compromise or consent does not include any statement
                                         as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any
                                         Indemnified Person.

 

		7.4	Contribution.
                                         If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person
                                         or insufficient to hold it harmless from Indemnified Losses that are subject to indemnification
                                         pursuant to Section 7.1, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount
                                         paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss in such proportion
                                         as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying
                                         Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, but also the
                                         relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person,
                                         on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. It is hereby agreed
                                         that the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and all Indemnified
                                         Persons, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total
                                         value received or proposed to be received by the Company pursuant to the issuance and
                                         sale of the unsubscribed New Convertible Preferred Stock in the Rights Offering contemplated
                                         by this Agreement and the Plan bears to (b) the Backstop Commitment Premium paid or proposed
                                         to be paid to the Backstop Parties. The Indemnifying Parties also agree that no Indemnified
                                         Person shall have any liability based on their comparative or contributory negligence
                                         or otherwise to the Indemnifying Parties, any Person asserting claims on behalf of or
                                         in right of any of the Indemnifying Parties, or any other Person in connection with an
                                         Indemnified Claim.

 

		7.5	Treatment
                                         of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified
                                         Person under this Article 7 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law,
                                         be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes. The provisions
                                         of this Article 7 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this
                                         Agreement and without these provisions the Backstop Parties would not have entered into
                                         this Agreement. The Approval Order shall provide that the obligations of the Company
                                         under this Article 7 shall constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’
                                         estate under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code and are payable without further
                                         order of the Bankruptcy Court, and that the Company may comply with the requirements
                                         of this Article 7 without further order of the Bankruptcy Court.

                                         inure to the benefit of each and all of the Parties, and neither this Agreement nor any
                                         of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder will be assigned by any of the Parties

                                         Backstop Party may assign or reallocate its rights and obligations hereunder (including
                                         its Backstop Commitment, Backstop Obligation, Subscription Rights and right to receive
                                         its Backstop Commitment Premium) prior to the Effective Date, in whole or in part, to
                                         (a) any other Consenting Noteholder in a manner consistent with the terms of the RSA
                                         that agrees as part of such assignment to assume such Backstop Party’s Backstop

                                         Affiliates (and/or any Affiliate thereof); provided, that, in each
                                         case, any such assignment shall not release such Backstop Party from any of its obligations
                                         under this Agreement in the event that such assignee does not fulfill its obligations
                                         hereunder; provided, further, that (i) such assignee and the assigning
                                         Backstop Party shall have duly executed and delivered to the Company and Kirkland a written
                                         notice of such assignment in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A
                                         hereto (a “Notice of Assignment”); and (ii) with respect to

                                         Subject to Section 8.12, (a) all representations and warranties made in this

                                         the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and
                                         representations, written or oral, with respect thereto. To the extent there is an inconsistency
                                         between the provisions in this Agreement and the agreements contemplated hereby and referred
                                         to herein, the provisions in this Agreement shall control. To the extent there is an
                                         inconsistency between the provisions in this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall control;

                                         any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) or the Confirmation Order (and
                                         any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) or an affirmative vote to accept
                                         the Plan submitted by any Backstop Party, nothing contained in the Plan (including any
                                         amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) or Confirmation Order (including any
                                         amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) shall alter, amend or modify the rights
                                         of the Backstop Parties under this Agreement unless such alteration, amendment or modification
                                         has been made in accordance with Section 8.5.

		8.5	Waivers
                                         and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified or superseded, and the terms
                                         and conditions of this Agreement may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by

                                         Backstop Parties”); provided, that, notwithstanding anything to
                                         the contrary in this Agreement, no amendment that reduces or otherwise modifies the Backstop

                                         hererunder shall be effective against any Backstop Party without such Backstop Party’s
                                         prior written consent; provided, further, that Schedule 2
                                         hereto may be amended with the prior written consent of all the Backstop Parties without
                                         the consent of the Company so long as the Aggregate Commitment Amount is not modified.
                                         No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege pursuant
                                         to this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof.  No waiver on the part of any
                                         Party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor any single or
                                         partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, shall preclude
                                         any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege
                                         pursuant to this Agreement. The rights and
                                         remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of
                                         any rights or remedies which any Party otherwise may have at law or in equity.

 

		8.6	Governing
                                         Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Process. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
                                         in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflict
                                         of laws principles that would require the application of the Law of any other jurisdiction.
                                         Each Party hereby irrevocably submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive
                                         jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware located in the County of New Castle,
                                         for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
                                         the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
                                         permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue
                                         of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding
                                         brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the
                                         foregoing, during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, all proceedings contemplated
                                         by this Section 8.6 shall be brought in the Bankruptcy Court.

                                         other electronic means), each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together
                                         will constitute one and the same instrument. All such counterparts will be deemed an
                                         original, will be construed together and will constitute one and the same instrument.

		8.12	Effect
                                         of Termination.

 

		8.12.1	Upon
                                         termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.10, this Agreement shall forthwith
                                         become void and there shall be no further obligations or liabilities on the part of the
                                         parties hereto; provided, that (a) the obligation of the Company to pay the Expense
                                         Reimbursement to Backstop Parties pursuant to Section 2.3.1 and to pay the Backstop
                                         Commitment Premium if payable pursuant to Sections 2.2.3, Section 2.4,
                                         and/or 8.12.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain
                                         in full force and effect until such obligation has been satisfied (except as otherwise
                                         set forth herein), (b) the provisions set forth in this Section 8.12,
                                         Section 8.13, Section 8.14, Section 8.16, Section 8.17, Section 8.18,
                                         Section 8.19 and Section 8.21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
                                         in accordance with their terms and (c) subject to Section 8.14, nothing in
                                         this Section 8.12 shall relieve any Party from liability for its intentional fraud
                                         or any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement occurring prior to the date of
                                         termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful or intentional
                                         breach” means a breach of this Agreement that is a consequence of an intentional
                                         act undertaken by the breaching party with the knowledge that the taking of such act
                                         would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause a breach of this Agreement. For the
                                         avoidance of doubt, the failure to timely pay the Purchase Price by any of the Backstop
                                         Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (and subject to the applicable
                                         cure period set forth in Section 8.10.3) shall constitute a willful breach of
                                         this Agreement.

 

		8.12.2	If
                                         this Agreement is terminated by the Required Backstop Parties under Section 8.10.4,
                                         the Company shall, promptly after the date of such termination, pay the Backstop Commitment
                                         Premium; provided that the Backstop Commitment Premium is payable pursuant to
                                         Section 2.2.3 and, if applicable, Section 2.4, entirely in cash to each
                                         Backstop Party or its designee(s). The Backstop Commitment Premium shall (to the extent
                                         payable in cash hereunder) pursuant to an Approval Order, constitute allowed administrative
                                         expenses of the Debtors’ estates under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy
                                         Code and shall be payable by the Debtors as provided in this Agreement without further
                                         order of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

		8.13	Waiver
                                         of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
                                         LAW ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING
                                         DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY
                                         OR OTHERWISE.

 

		8.14	Damages.
                                         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Party will be liable for,
                                         and no Party shall claim or seek to recover, any punitive, special, indirect or consequential
                                         damages.

 

		8.15	Specific
                                         Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision
                                         of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the
                                         Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions without the necessity of posting
                                         a bond to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance
                                         of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are
                                         entitled at law or in equity. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, no
                                         right or remedy described or provided in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive or
                                         to preclude a Party from pursuing other rights and remedies to the extent available under
                                         this Agreement, at law or in equity.

		8.16	No
                                         Reliance. No Backstop Party or any of its Affiliates shall have any duties or obligations
                                         to the other Backstop Parties in respect of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated
                                         hereby, the Definitive Documents or the Restructuring, except those expressly set forth
                                         herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Backstop Party or any
                                         of its Affiliates shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties to the other
                                         Backstop Parties, (b) no Backstop Party or any of its Affiliates shall have any duty
                                         to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers on behalf of any
                                         other Backstop Party, (c) no Backstop Party or any of its Affiliates shall have any duty
                                         to the other Backstop Parties to obtain, through the exercise of diligence or otherwise,
                                         to investigate, confirm, or disclose to the other Backstop Parties any information relating
                                         to the Company or any of its Affiliates that may have been communicated to or obtained
                                         by such Backstop Party or any of its Affiliates in any capacity, (d) no Backstop Party
                                         may rely, and each Backstop Party confirms that it has not relied, on any due diligence
                                         investigation that any other Backstop Party or any Person acting on behalf of such other
                                         Backstop Party may have conducted with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates
                                         or any of their respective securities, and (e) each Backstop Party acknowledges that
                                         no other Backstop Party is acting as a placement agent, initial purchaser, underwriter,
                                         broker or finder with respect to its Backstop Obligation.

                                         Except as required by Law, at all times prior to the Effective Date or the earlier termination
                                         of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Backstop Parties
                                         shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases (and provide each other
                                         a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such release) or otherwise making
                                         public announcements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
                                         No Party may identify or use the name of any Backstop Party in connection with any press

                                         Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement,
                                         and notwithstanding the fact that certain of the Parties may be partnerships or limited

                                         shall be had against any Affiliates of any Party other than the parties to this Agreement
                                         and each of their respective successors and permitted assignees under this Agreement,
                                         whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding,
                                         or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no
                                         personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred
                                         by any of the Affiliates of any Party, as such, for any obligation or liability of any
                                         Party or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith for any claim
                                         based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation;
                                         provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.19 shall relieve
                                         or otherwise limit the liability of any Party or any of their respective successors or

(a) 
On the Final Facility Effective Date, each Roll-Up Lender shall become entitled to roll up an aggregate principal amount of Prepetition
Loans held by such Roll-Up Lender (directly or in its capacity as a Participant (as defined in the Prepetition Credit Agreement))
equal to such Roll-Up Lender’s Prepetition Loan Roll-Up Loan Amount as set forth opposite such Roll-Up Lender’s name
on Schedule 2.01(a) into roll-up loans hereunder (the “Roll-Up Loans”). Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, on the Final Facility Effective Date, and without any further action by any party to this Agreement,
each Roll-Up Lender’s Roll-Up Loans shall, from and after such date, be designated as such and administered hereunder. Such
designation is not intended to and shall not constitute a payment on account of, or a novation of, the applicable Prepetition Loans
and Prepetition Participations, which shall continue to be outstanding under the Prepetition Credit Agreement, and administered
under this Agreement as Roll-Up Loans. As a consequence of such designation, and solely to enable the Roll-Up Loans to be administered
hereunder, effective with such designation and except as otherwise provided in the Prepetition Credit Agreement, each Roll-Up Loan
that is the subject of such designation shall from and after such designation constitute a Roll-Up Loan hereunder; provided
that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Roll-Up Loans shall continue to be guaranteed by the Guarantors under the Guaranty (as defined

arising under the Collateral Documents (as defined in the Prepetition Credit Agreement), which Liens and security interests shall
remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis, unimpaired, uninterrupted and undischarged, and having the same perfected
status and priority, as if such Loans had not been so designated. Each such designation shall be applied on a pro rata basis to
each class of Prepetition Loans and Prepetition Participations held by such Roll-Up Lender under the Prepetition Credit Agreement
to the extent rolled up under this Agreement as set forth on Schedule 2.01(a). For the avoidance of doubt, each Roll-Up
Lender acknowledges and agrees that by accepting the benefits of this Agreement, on the Final Facility Effective Date each Prepetition
Lender rolling up loans under this Agreement shall become a party to this Agreement as a Roll-Up Lender hereunder by executing
and delivering this Agreement. Amounts rolled up under this Section 2.01(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
The Administrative Agent shall update Schedule 2.01(a) on the Final Facility Effective Date to reflect each Roll-Up Lender’s
Roll-Up Loan Amount (which Roll-Up Loan Amount listed on Schedule 2.01(a) shall be conclusive absent manifest error) and
deliver such updated Schedule 2.01(a) to the Borrower and the Roll-Up Lenders, whereupon such updated Schedule 2.01(a)
shall constitute Schedule 2.01(a) for all purposes hereunder.

notice to Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three
Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any

the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. In the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, not later than 12:00 p.m.,
three (3) Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, Agent shall notify Borrower (which
notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all Lenders. Each telephonic

as provided in Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000

requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal
amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to
be converted, (v) [reserved] and (vi) the current Total New Money Outstandings (without regard to the requested Borrowing) and
the pro forma Total New Money Outstandings (giving effect to the requested Borrowing). If Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan
in a Loan Notice or if Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans
shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the
last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. Borrowings of, conversions
to, or continuations of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall have an Interest Period of one month whether or not so indicated in such Loan
Notice.

each Lender shall make the amount of its New Money Loan available to Agent in immediately available funds at Administrative Agent’s
Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension on the Interim Facility Effective
Date, Section 5.01), Agent shall make all funds so received available to Borrower in like funds as received by Agent either
by (i) crediting the account of Borrower on the books of Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds,
in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and acceptable to) Agent by Borrower; provided, however, that
if, on the date the Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then
the proceeds of such Borrowing first, shall be applied, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second,
shall be made available to Borrower as provided above.

 

(c) 
During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the
consent of the Majority Lenders, and, during the existence of a Default, the Majority Lenders may demand that any or all of the
then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans and Borrower agrees to pay all amounts due under
Section 3.05 in accordance with the terms thereof due to any such conversion.

 

(d) 
Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans
upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, Agent shall notify Borrower and Lenders
of any change in Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such
change.

same Type, there shall not be more than six (6) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans.

(iii) 
The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(D) 
such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or Canadian dollars;

 

(E) 
unless specifically provided for in this agreement, such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of

(F) 
a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting

to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.

 

(iv) 
The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at
such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit

with respect to the L/C Issuer.

 

(vi) 
No Letter of Credit shall be issued in replacement of or exchange for any Letter of Credit (as defined in the Prepetition Credit

(b) 
Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit.

 

(i) 
Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer
(with a copy to Agent) in the form of a L/C Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower.
Such L/C Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such
later date and time as Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed
issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit,
such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the
requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name
and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder;
(F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other
matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit,
such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (w) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (x)
the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (y) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (z) such
other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and Agent such other
documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents,
as the L/C Issuer or Agent may reasonably require.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 36

     

    

 

(ii) 
Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application at the address set forth in Section 11.02 for receiving L/C Applications
and related correspondence, the L/C Issuer will confirm with Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Agent has received a copy
of such L/C Application from Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer
has received written notice from any Lender, Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of
issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Article V shall not
then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter
of Credit for the account of Borrower (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the
case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the
issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase
from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

 

(iii) 
Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto
or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to Borrower and Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of
Credit or amendment.

 

(c) 
Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

 

(i) 
Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer
shall notify Borrower and Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter
of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”) (if Borrower shall have received notice prior to 9:00 a.m.
on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m.
on the following Business Day after Borrower receives such notice), Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through Agent in an
amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”),
and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested
a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard
to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount
of the unutilized portion of the Effective Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery
of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by
telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect
the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

 

(ii) 
Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to Agent for the account of the L/C
Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not
later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section
2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount.
Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 37

     

    

 

(iii) 
With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set
forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C
Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and
payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment
to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation
in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under
this Section 2.03.

 

(iv) 
Until each Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount
drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely
for the account of the L/C Issuer.

 

(v) 
Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit,
as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, Borrower
or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event
or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to
make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery
by Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest
as provided herein.

 

(vi) 
If any Lender fails to make available to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C
Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the
period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a
rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer
in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing,
as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under
this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d) 
Repayment of Participations.

 

(i) 
At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s
L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if Agent receives for the account of the L/C
Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from Borrower or otherwise,
including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Agent), Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage
thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s
L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by Agent.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 38

     

    

 

(ii) 
If any payment received by Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be
returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into
by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage
thereof on demand of Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender,
at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of Lenders under this clause shall
survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

(e) 
Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit
and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

 

(i) 
any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

 

(ii) 
the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may have at
any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any
such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

 

(iii) 
any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such 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; or any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

 

(iv) 
any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person
purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or
other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection
with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

 

(v) 
any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance
that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary.

 

Borrower shall promptly examine a copy
of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with
Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will promptly notify the L/C Issuer. Borrower shall be conclusively
deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 39

     

    

 

(f) 
Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer
shall not 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 L/C Issuer, Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection
herewith at the request or with the approval of Lenders or the Required Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any
action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity
or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. 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, however,
that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude 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 L/C Issuer, Agent, any of their respective
Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the
matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in
such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable
to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by
Borrower which damages have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment to have
been caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure 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, the L/C Issuer 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 the L/C Issuer shall not 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.

 

(g) 
Cash Collateral. Upon the request of Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing
request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the L/C Expiration
Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. Sections 2.04, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.02(c) set forth certain
additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the L/C Issuer and Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of
the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in an L/C Collection Account.

 

(h) 
Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is
issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.

 

(i) 
L/C Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of the Lenders (to be paid by Agent to each Lender (other than any
Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its Applicable Percentage) an aggregate fee (the “L/C Fee”) for
the issuance of each Letter of Credit in an amount per annum equal to the greater of the Applicable Rate applicable to Eurodollar
Rate Loans times the maximum face amount of the Letter of Credit determined in accordance with Section 1.06 or $1,000. Such
L/C Fee shall be payable prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit and thereafter in monthly installments in arrears on the
last Business Day of each month, commencing on the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the
L/C Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the L/C Fee shall
be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was
in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon request of the Majority Lenders, while any Event of
Default exists, all accrued and unpaid L/C Fees shall bear interest at the Default Rate. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the L/C Collection Account. Other than any interest earned
on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent
and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments
shall accumulate in the L/C Collection Account.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 40

     

    

 

(j) 
Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer
for its own account a fronting fee for the issuance or extension of each Letter of Credit equal to the greater of $500 and 0.20%
per annum times the maximum face amount of such Letter of Credit determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Such fronting
fee shall be due and payable upon the issuance or extension of each Letter of Credit. In addition, Borrower shall pay directly
to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard
costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such individual customary fees
and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

 

(k) 
Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Loan Documents and the terms of any
Issuer Documents, the terms hereof shall control.

 

(l) 
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, Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse
the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of
Letters of Credit for the account of Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Borrower, and that Borrower’s business
derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries.

 

2.04. 
Prepayments.

 

(a) 
Borrower may, upon notice to Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium
or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three (3) Business
Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Base
Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple
of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice
shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to
be repaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and
of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall
make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any
prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional
amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of Lenders in accordance with
their respective Applicable Percentages.

 

(b) 
If for any reason the Total New Money Outstandings at any time exceed the Effective Commitments, Borrower shall immediately prepay
Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that
Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) unless there remains
any such excess after the prepayment in full of the Loans.

 

(c) 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no voluntary prepayment of Roll-Up Loans may be made until all New
Money Loans and all other Obligations in respect thereof have been paid in full in cash and all Commitments have been terminated.

event, of any Loan Party’s property (other than net cash proceeds from the sale of hydrocarbons in the ordinary course of
business as permitted by Section 8.05), the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans equal to 100% of such net cash proceeds
(less any prepayments from such net cash proceeds made pursuant to another clause of this Section 2.04); provided
that no such prepayment shall be required unless and until the aggregate amount of net cash proceeds received by the Loan Parties
after the Petition Date in connection with all such Dispositions but not applied as a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.04
exceeds $5,000,000.

 

(f) 
Subject to the payment priorities set forth in the DIP Order, if any Loan Party receives or realizes any net cash proceeds from
any Swap Termination Event in respect of any transaction arising under any Swap Contract to which any Loan Party is a party, the

made pursuant to another clause of this Section 2.04).

 

(g) 
Subject to the payment priorities set forth in the DIP Order, immediately upon the incurrence of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness
permitted pursuant to Section 8.03) by any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or the receipt of any amount
in respect of the Equity Interests of any Loan party or their respective Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall prepay Loans on the date
of such incurrence or receipt equal to 100% of (i) in the case of the proceeds of any Indebtedness, 100% of the net cash proceeds
thereof or (ii) in the case of amounts received in respect of any such Equity Interests, 100% of such amounts.

 

(h) 
Each prepayment or repayment of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be applied as follows: first, ratably
to any Base Rate Loans that are New Money Loans then outstanding, and second, ratably to any Eurodollar Rate Loans that
are New Money Loans then outstanding, and if more than one Eurodollar Rate Loan that is a New Money Loan is then outstanding, to
each such Eurodollar Rate Loan in order of priority beginning with the Eurodollar Rate Loan with the least number of days remaining
in the Interest Period applicable thereto, and ending with the Eurodollar Rate Loan with the most number of days remaining in the
Interest Period applicable thereto, third, ratably to any Base Rate Loans that are Roll-Up Loans then outstanding, fourth,
ratably to any Eurodollar Rate Loans that are Roll-Up Loans then outstanding, and if more than one Eurodollar Rate Loan that is

the most number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto, fifth, ratably to pay accrued and unpaid interest
on, and accrued and unpaid expenses in respect of, the Obligations, to the extent due and payable in accordance with the Loan Documents,
sixth, ratably to pay any principal amounts or other Obligations which have been advanced and are outstanding under the

2.05. 
Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

 

(a) 
Borrower may, upon notice to Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate
Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five (5) Business
Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $500,000
or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (iii) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments
if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total New Money Outstandings would exceed the
Aggregate Commitments. Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments.
Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage.
All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of
such termination.

2.07. 
Interest.

 

(a) 
Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (1) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest
Period plus the Applicable Rate or (2) the Maximum Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (1) the
Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate or (2) the Maximum Rate.

interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(ii) 
If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard
to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Majority
Lenders, then all Loans outstanding shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal
to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(iii) 
Upon the request of the Majority Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount
of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(iv) 
Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

 

(c) 
Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times
as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment,
and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law (including, but not limited to, the Chapter
11 Cases).

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 43

     

    

 

2.08. 
Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03:

 

(a) 
Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of the Lenders (to be paid by Agent to each Lender (other than
any Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its Applicable Percentage) an aggregate commitment fee in an amount per annum equal to
0.50% per annum on the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount
of Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability
Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due
and payable monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month, commencing with the first such date to occur after
the Interim Facility Effective Date, and on the Termination Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated monthly in arrears, and
if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any calendar month, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied
by the Applicable Rate on a per diem basis separately for each period during such calendar month that such Applicable Rate was
in effect.

 

(b) 
Agent’s Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent for Agent’s own account, fees in the amounts and at the times specified
in the Fee Letter. Unless otherwise specified in the Fee Letter, such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be nonrefundable
for any reason whatsoever.

 

(c) 
Lenders’ Upfront Fees. On the Interim Facility Effective Date, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of the
Lenders (to be paid by Agent to each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its Applicable Percentage), an
aggregate upfront fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the aggregate Commitments to make New Money Loans. Such upfront fees are for
the credit facilities committed by Lenders under this Agreement and are fully earned on the date paid. The upfront fee paid to
each Lender is solely for its own account and is nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

2.09. 
Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined
by Agent’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual
days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed
(which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall
accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day
on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall,
subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

2.10. 
Evidence of Debt.

 

(a) 
The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by
Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent
manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by Lenders to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure
to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay
any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any
Lender and the accounts and records of Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender
(through Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may
attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments
with respect thereto.

 

(b) 
In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and Agent shall maintain in accordance with
its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit.
In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in
respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 44

     

    

 

2.11. 
Payments Generally; Agent’s Clawback.

 

(a) 
(i)General. All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Agent,
for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars
and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date specified herein. Agent will promptly distribute to each
Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire
transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by Agent after 12:00 noon shall be deemed received on the
next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by Borrower
shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension
of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

(ii) 
On each date when the payment of any principal, interest or fees are due hereunder or under any Note, Borrower agrees to maintain
on deposit in an ordinary checking account maintained by Borrower with Agent (as such account shall be designated by Borrower in
a written notice to Agent from time to time, the “Borrower Account”) an amount sufficient to pay such
principal, interest or fees in full on such date. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent (A) to deduct automatically all principal, interest
or fees when due hereunder or under any Note from the Borrower Account, and (B) if and to the extent any payment of principal,
interest or fees under this Agreement or any Note is not made when due to deduct any such amount from any or all of the accounts
of Borrower maintained at Agent. Agent agrees to provide written notice to Borrower of any automatic deduction made pursuant to
this Section 2.11(a)(ii) showing in reasonable detail the amounts of such deduction. Lenders agree to reimburse Borrower
based on their Applicable Percentage for any amounts deducted from such accounts in excess of amounts due hereunder and under any
other Loan Documents.

 

(iii) 
Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Agent. Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date
of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date
of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Agent may assume
that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing
of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02)
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not
in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree
to pay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day
from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (A) in
the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged
by Agent in connection with the foregoing and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable
to Base Rate Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Agent shall
promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable
Borrowing to Agent, then the amount of its share of such applicable Borrowing so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan
included in such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender
that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 45

     

    

 

(iv) 
Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Agent. Unless Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on
which any payment is due to Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment,
Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such
payment, then each of Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand the
amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the greater of the Federal
Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 

A notice of Agent to
any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(b) 
Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender
as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to Borrower by Agent because
the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with
the terms hereof, Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

 

(c) 
Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of
Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any
Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall
not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c):

 

(d) 
Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular
place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or manner.

 

2.12. 
Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment
in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations held by it
resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and
accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall (a) notify Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations
in L/C Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

 

(i) 
if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,
such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest; and

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 46

     

    

 

(ii) 
the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender)
or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans
or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to
which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

 

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing
and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to
the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

 

2.13. 
Collateral; Guarantees.

 

(a) 
Priority and Liens. The Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledge and agree that, upon entry of the DIP Order and the delivery
and execution of this Agreement, the Obligations shall at all times be secured and perfected pursuant to, and have the DIP Superpriority
Claims and DIP Liens as set forth in, the DIP Order.

 

(b) 
Payment of Obligations. On the Termination Date, the Lenders shall be entitled to immediate payment in full in cash of all
Obligations without further application to, or order of, the Bankruptcy Court.

 

(c) 
No Discharge; Survival of Claims. The Borrower and each Guarantor agree that (a) any confirmation order entered in the Chapter
11 Cases shall not discharge or otherwise affect in any way any of the Obligations, other than after the payment in full in cash
to the Secured Parties of all Obligations (and the cash collateralization of all outstanding Letters of Credit in amount and subject
to documentation satisfactory to the L/C Issuer) and termination of the Commitments on or before the effective date of any plan
of reorganization (including, but not limited to, the Approved Plan of Reorganization) and (b) to the extent the Obligations are
not satisfied in full in cash, (i) the Obligations shall not be discharged by the entry of a confirmation order (and each Loan
Party, pursuant to Section 1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, hereby waives any such discharge) and (ii) the DIP Superpriority
Claim granted to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties pursuant to the DIP Order and the Liens granted
to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the DIP Order shall not be affected in any manner by the entry of a confirmation order.

 

(d) 
Perfection and Protection of Security Interests and Liens. The Loan Parties will from time to time deliver to the Administrative
Agent all financing statements, amendments, assignments and continuation statements, extension agreements and other documents,
properly completed and executed (and acknowledged when required) by each Loan Party, as applicable, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, in each case, which the Administrative Agent requests for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, or
protecting its Lien and security interest in Collateral for the purpose of securing the Obligations.

 

(e) 
Offset. To secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, each Loan Party hereby grants the Administrative Agent
and each Lender a security interest, lien, and right of offset, each of which shall be in addition to all other interests, liens,
and rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at common law, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or otherwise,
and each of which shall be upon and against (a) any and all monies, securities or other property (and the proceeds therefrom) of
the Loan Parties now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from or for the account
of any Loan Party, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, (b) any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of any Loan Party with the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and (c) any other
credits and claims of any Loan Party at any time existing against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including claims under
certificates of deposit. During the existence of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is hereby authorized
to foreclose upon, offset, appropriate, and apply, at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Loan Party, any and
all items hereinabove referred to against the Obligations then due and payable.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 47

     

    

 

(f) 
The direct or indirect value of the consideration received and to be received by any Guarantor in connection herewith is reasonably
worth at least as much as the liability and obligations of such Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and the
incurrence of such liability and obligations in return for such consideration may reasonably be expected to benefit such Guarantor,
directly or indirectly.

 

2.14. 
Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written
request of Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent), Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the
L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)
and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

 

(a) 
Grant of Security Interest. Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby
grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in
all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations,
to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject
to any right or claim of any Person other than Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount
of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, Borrower will, promptly upon demand by Administrative Agent,
pay or provide to Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving
effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

 

(b) 
Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.14
or Section 2.15 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s
obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender,
any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such
property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

 

(c) 
Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the L/C Issuer’s
Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.14 following
(i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable
Lender), or (ii) the determination by Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided
that, subject to Section 2.15, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral
shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided, further, that to the extent that
such Cash Collateral was provided by Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant
to the Loan Documents.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 48

     

    

 

2.15. 
Defaulting Lenders.

 

(a) 
Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes
a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable
law:

 

(i) 
Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with
respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Lenders and Required Lenders.

 

(ii) 
Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent
for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise)
or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08 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
such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts
owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting
Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.14; fourth, as the Borrower may
request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund
its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such
Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize
the L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit
issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.14; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to
the Lenders or the L/C Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the L/C
Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court
of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Obligations
in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related
Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such
payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis
prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all
Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments
without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv). 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 this Section 2.15(a)(ii)
shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(iii) 
Certain Fees.

 

(A) 
No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee under Section 2.08(a) for any period during which that
Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required
to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 49

     

    

 

(B) 
Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only
to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral
pursuant to Section 2.14.

 

(C) 
With respect to any fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall
(x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to
such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant
to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the L/C Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent
allocable to the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining
amount of any such fee.

 

(iv) 
Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation
in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages
(calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth
in Section 5.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified
the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are
satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
Outstanding Amount to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver
or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting
Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following
such reallocation.

 

(v) 
Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower
shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s
Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.14.

 

(b) 
Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no
longer 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 (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral),
that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such
other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations
in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)),
whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect
to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further,
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender
will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.

 

(c) 
New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the L/C Issuer shall not be required to issue, extend,
renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

ARTICLE III. TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION
AND ILLEGALITY

 

3.01. 
Taxes.

 

(a) 
Defined Terms. For the purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “Lender” includes the L/C Issuer and the
term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

 

(b) 
Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall
be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined
in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such
payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and
shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law
and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction
or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding
been made.

 

(c) 
Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

(d) 
Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than any such penalties, interest and expenses
resulting from such Recipient’s gross negligence or willful misconduct provided that for purposes of clarification, contesting
the payment of any such Indemnified Taxes shall not be considered gross negligence or willful misconduct), whether or not such
Indemnified 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 Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on
its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(e) 
Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor,
for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Agent
for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s
failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(d) relating to the maintenance of any Participant Register and (iii)
any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Loan Document,
and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any
Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to the Lender from any other source
against any amount due to Agent under this paragraph (e).

 

(f) 
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant
to this Section 3.01, Borrower shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to Agent.

Status of Lenders.

 

(i) 
Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document
shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or
at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such
other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent as will enable Borrower or the
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 3.01(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) 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.

 

(ii) 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

 

(A) 
any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed originals of
IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

(B) 
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

	 	(1)	in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

	 	(2)	executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

	 	(3)	in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 52

     

    

 

	 	(4)	to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-4, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-3 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

(C) 
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed originals of 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 Borrower or Agent to determine the withholding
or deduction required to be made; and

 

(D) 
if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such
Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b)
or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law
and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Borrower or Agent
as may be necessary for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied
with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for
purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

Each Lender agrees that if any
form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form
or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

(h) 
Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received
a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only
to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such
indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by
the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to
pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in
a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party 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. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to
make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying
party or any other Person.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 53

     

    

 

(i) 
Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of
Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document and the occurrence of the Release Date.

 

3.02. 
Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted
that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine
or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the
authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof
by such Lender to Borrower through Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert
Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Agent and Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with
a copy to Agent), prepay (on a pro rata basis) or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate
Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar
Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any
such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due
under Section 3.05 in accordance with the terms thereof due to such prepayment or conversion.

 

3.03. 
Inability to Determine Rates. If Agent determines in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion
to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for
the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining
the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar
Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation
of Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders)
revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing
of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

 

3.04. 
Increased Costs.

 

(a) 
Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

 

(i) 
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 or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement
reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or the L/C Issuer;

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 54

     

    

 

(ii) 
subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition
of Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Connection Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations,
or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

 

(iii) 
impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting
this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing
shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan
or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such other Recipient
of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue
any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient,
Borrower will pay to such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b) 
Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C
Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding
capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C
Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender,
or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s
or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s
or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect
to capital adequacy), then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender or
the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c) 
Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of
this Section and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

(d) 
Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such
compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions
of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender
or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions,
and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended
to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 55

     

    

 

(e) 
Protection Absolute. The protection of this Section 3.04 shall be available to each Lender and the L/C Issuer regardless
of any potential contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

 

3.05. 
Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Agent) from time to time, Borrower shall promptly
compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any actual loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

 

(a) 
any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of
the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

 

(b) 
any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert
any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; or

 

(c) 
any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request
by the Borrower pursuant to Section 11.14;

 

including any loss of anticipated profits
and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees
payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees
charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to Lenders under
this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Base
Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar
market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

 

3.06. 
Mitigation Obligations.

 

(a) 
Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or Borrower is
required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, the L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section
3.02, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate
a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another
of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i)
would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future,
or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject
such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous
to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

(b) 
[Reserved].

3.07. 
Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

 

(a) 
Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence
of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, Agent and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace
the Eurodollar Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective
five (5) Business Days after Agent, with approval of the Borrower, has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower,
so long as Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Majority
Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising
the Majority Lenders and the Borrower have delivered to Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders and the Borrower accept
such amendment. No replacement of the Eurodollar Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.07 will
occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

 

(b) 
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, 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 Loan 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 other than the Borrower.

 

(c) 
Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of (i) 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, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of
any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.
Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 3.07, 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 reasonable discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except the Borrower, in each case,
as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.07 and the defined terms used herein.

 

(d) 
Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability
Period, Borrower may revoke any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made,
converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period, in each case without incurring any liability under Section 3.04,
and, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to
Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of the Base Rate based upon the Eurodollar Rate will
not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

 

3.08. 
Survival. All of Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate
Commitments and the occurrence of the Release Date.

in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments.

 

(c) 
Since the Petition Date, there has been no event or circumstance, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(d)

conditions existing at the time of delivery of such forecasts, and represented, at the time of delivery, the Borrower’s best
estimate of its future financial performance.

 

6.06. 
Litigation. Other than the Chapter 11 Cases, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or,
to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened or contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority,

contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

6.09. 
Environmental Compliance. Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have conducted in the ordinary course of business
a review of claims alleging potential liability or responsibility for violation of any Environmental Law on their respective businesses,

result of the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

6.10. 
Insurance. The properties of the Loan Parties are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not
Affiliates of any Loan Party, in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance compatible with the following standards;

proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP, (b) to the extent
otherwise excused or prohibited by the Bankruptcy Code, or (c) those not yet delinquent. There is no proposed tax assessment against
Borrower or any Loan Party that would, if made, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

6.12. 
ERISA Compliance.

 

(a) 
Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state
Laws. Each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter
from the IRS, is entitled to rely on a favorable opinion letter issued to the sponsor of a master or prototype plan adopted by
Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate, or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto
and, to the best knowledge of Borrower, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification. Borrower
and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application
for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect
to any Plan.

transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(c) 
(i) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (ii) no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability; (iii)

any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving
of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer
Plan; and (v) neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Sections 4069 or 4212(c)
of ERISA.

 

6.13. 
Subsidiaries. Neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party have any Subsidiaries other than those set forth on Schedule

Margin Regulations; Investment Company Act.

 

(a)

carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing
or carrying margin stock.

(a) 
Borrower has disclosed to Agent and Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No report, financial statement, certificate or other information furnished
(whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf of any Loan Party to Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified
or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided
that, with respect to projected financial information, Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith
based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time; and provided further, that projections concerning volumes
attributable to Mineral Interests or wells and production and costs estimates contained in each Reserve Report are necessarily
based upon professional opinions, estimates and projections, and the Loan Parties do not warrant that such estimates and projections
will ultimately prove to have been accurate.

 

(b) 
As of the Interim Facility Effective Date, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct
in all respects.

 

6.16. 
Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 65

     

    

 

6.17. 
Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc. The Loan Parties own, or possess the right to use, all of the trademarks, service
marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights that are reasonably
necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, without material conflict with the rights of any other Person. To the
best knowledge of Borrower, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material
now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by any Loan Party infringes upon any rights held by any other Person. No claim
or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, threatened, which, either individually
or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

6.18. 
Rights in Collateral; Priority of Liens.

 

(a) 
The Chapter 11 Cases were commenced on the Petition Date in accordance with applicable law and proper notice thereof and the proper
notice for (x) the motions seeking approval of the Loan Documents and the DIP Facility and (y) the hearings for the approval for
the DIP Order were given in each case. The Borrower has given, on a timely basis, as specified in the DIP Order, all notices required
to be given on or prior to the date of this representation to all parties specified in the DIP Order.

 

(b) 
The provisions of this Agreement and the Interim Order (with respect to the Interim Period) or the Final Order (with respect to
the Final Period), as the case may be, are effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, legal, valid and perfected DIP Liens on and security interests in all right, title and interest in the Collateral, having
the priority set forth in the Loan Documents, including the DIP Order, and enforceable against the Loan Parties.

 

(c) 
Pursuant to Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and the DIP Order, all Obligations and all other obligations of the Loan Parties
under the Loan Documents constituting DIP Superpriority Claims shall be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, and shall at all times
be senior to the rights of Loan Parties, the estates of Loan Parties, and any successor trustee or estate representative in the
Chapter 11 Cases or any subsequent proceeding or case under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, subject only to
the Carve-Out.

 

6.19. 
Concerning the Collateral. The Mortgaged Properties are described in and covered by the Reserve Reports that have previously
been delivered to and relied upon by Agent and Lenders in connection with this Agreement, and the Loan Parties own at least the
decimal percentage Mineral Interest in such properties as specified in such engineering reports.

 

6.20. 
Swap Contracts. As of the Interim Facility Effective Date, except as set forth on Schedule 6.20, no Loan Party
is a party or subject to any Swap Contract. Each report delivered pursuant to Section 7.02(b) sets forth a true and complete
list of (i) all Swap Contracts of Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary, the material terms thereof (including the type,
term, effective date, termination date and notional amounts or volumes), the net mark to market value thereof, and the counterparty
to each such agreement.

 

6.21. 
Engineering Reports. Each Loan Party owns or will own the net interest and production attributable to the wells and
units evaluated in the most recent Reserve Report it has previously furnished to Agent, except such as may result from customary
provisions of operating agreements requiring parties thereto to pay the share of costs of a defaulting party or allowing for the
acquisition of the interests of any nonparticipating parties. The ownership of such properties shall not in the aggregate in any
material respect obligate such Loan Party to bear costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operations of
such properties in an amount materially in excess of the working interests of such properties as shown in such Reserve Report.
Each Loan Party has paid all royalties payable under the oil and gas leases to which it is an operator, except to those contested
in accordance with the terms of the applicable joint operating agreement or otherwise contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.
Upon delivery of each Reserve Report furnished to Lenders pursuant to Section 7.02(d) hereof, the statements made in the
preceding sentences of this Section 6.21 shall be true with respect to such Reserve Report.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 66

     

    

 

6.22. 
Gas Balancing Agreements and Advance Payment Contracts. As of the Interim Facility Effective Date, (a) there is no Material
Gas Imbalance, and (b) the aggregate amount of all Advance Payments received by any Loan Party under Advance Payment Contracts
that have not been satisfied by delivery of production does not exceed $1,000,000.

 

6.23. 
Warranties and Collateral Documents. Subject to entry of the DIP Order and any representation and warranty impacted
on account of the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ status as a “debtor” under the Bankruptcy Code,
all of the warranties of all Loan Parties set forth in the Collateral Documents, including without limitation those with respect
to performance of obligations under oil, gas or mineral leases, sale of production and operation of properties mortgaged to Agent,
are true and correct in all material respects.

 

6.24. 
Tax Shelter Regulations. Borrower does not intend to treat Loans and/or Letters of Credit as being a “reportable
transaction” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4). In the event Borrower determines to take any action
inconsistent with such intention, it will promptly notify Agent thereof. If Borrower so notifies Agent, Borrower acknowledges that
one or more Lenders may treat its Loans and/or Letters of Credit as part of a transaction that is subject to Treasury Regulation
Section 301.6112-1, and such Lender or Lenders, as applicable, will maintain the lists and other records required by such Treasury
Regulation.

 

6.25. 
Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies and/or procedures designed
to ensure compliance by Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption
Laws and applicable Sanctions. Borrower, its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of Borrower, their respective officers, employees,
directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, in each case in all material respects.
None of (a) Borrower or any Subsidiary or (b) to the knowledge of Borrower, any of their respective directors, officers,
employees or agents, is a Sanctioned Person. No Credit Extension or use of proceeds of any Credit Extension will violate Anti-Corruption
Laws or applicable Sanctions.

Marketing of Production. Except for contracts listed on Schedule 6.27 and in effect on the Interim Facility Effective
Date, and thereafter either disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent or included in the most recently delivered Reserve
Report (with respect to all of which contracts the Borrower represents that it or its Subsidiaries are receiving a price for all
production sold thereunder which is computed substantially below the subject property’s delivery capacity), no material agreements
exist which are not cancelable on 60 days’ notice or less without penalty or detriment for the sale of production from the
Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ hydrocarbons (including, without limitation, calls on or other rights to purchase production,
whether or not the same are currently being exercised) that (a) pertain to the sale of production at a fixed price and (b) have
a maturity or expiry date of longer than six (6) months from the Interim Facility Effective Date.

 

6.28. 
Affected Financial Institution. No Loan Party is an Affected Financial Institution.

by the Bankruptcy Court other than, in each case of (x) and (y), an Approved Plan of Reorganization; or

 

(w) Liens
and Obligations. (i) any Liens granted with respect to the DIP Facility or the Obligations shall cease to be valid, perfected

the Obligations or their priority as set forth in the DIP Order; (iii) the disallowance, expungement, extinguishment or impairment
of any portion of the Obligations or (iv) any Loan Party denies that it has any or further liability or obligation under any such
Lien or in respect of the Obligations, or purports to revoke, terminate or rescind any such Lien or Obligation; or

 

(x) Chapter

(y) Credit
Bidding. Any order is entered precluding or otherwise limiting the Prepetition Credit Agreement Agent or the Administrative
Agent from “credit bidding”.

 

9.02. Remedies Upon Event of Default.
If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Majority Lenders,
take any or all of the following actions without needing to obtain relief from the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy
Code:

 

(a) declare
the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated,
reduced or restricted, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated, reduced or restricted immediately (in the
case of restricted commitments, unless and until the Majority Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall reinstate the same in
writing);

 

(b) declare
the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable
hereunder (other than Indebtedness outstanding under Swap Contracts) or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower;

 

(c) require
that Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and

 

(d) exercise
on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents, at law or
in equity, or under the DIP Order, including all rights and remedies set forth in paragraph 14 of the Interim Order (and any corresponding
paragraph of the Final Order).

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 88

     

    

 

9.03. Application
of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after the Loans have automatically
become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth
in the proviso to Section 9.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by Agent in the following
order:

 

First,
to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges
and disbursements of counsel to Agent (including fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of Agent)) payable to
Agent in its capacity as such;

 

Second,
to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest
and L/C Fees) payable to Lenders and the L/C Issuer (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders
and the L/C Issuer (including fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of any Lender or the L/C Issuer) and amounts
payable under Article III), 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 L/C Fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings
and other Obligations, ratably among Lenders and the L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
Third payable to them;

 

Fourth,
to payment of (i) that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, (ii) Obligations
(including all Prepetition Hedge Obligations) related to any Lender Swap Contract or Secured Cash Management Agreement and (iii)
amounts to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate
undrawn amount of Letters of Credit, ratably among Lenders, the L/C Issuer, and any Swap Lender and any Cash Management Party,
in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; and

 

Last,
the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, held as required by the Bankruptcy
Court and/or at Law.

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, amounts received from Borrower or any Guarantor that is not an Eligible Contract Participant shall not be applied to
any Excluded Swap Obligations (it being understood, that in the event that any amount is applied to Obligations other than Excluded
Swap Obligations as a result of this clause, the Administrative Agent shall make such adjustments as it determines are appropriate
to distributions pursuant to clause “Fourth” above from amounts received from Eligible Contract Participants to ensure,
as nearly as possible, that the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to Excluded Swap Obligations described in such clause
“Fourth” are the same as the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to other Obligations pursuant to such clause).

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 89

     

    

 

Subject to Section
2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth 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 in the order set forth
above.

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Lender Swap Contracts shall be excluded from the application
described above if Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as Agent may request,
from the applicable Cash Management Party or Swap Lender, as the case may be. Each Cash Management Party or Swap Lender not a party
to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged
and accepted the appointment of the Agent pursuant to the terms of Article X hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if
a “Lender” party hereto.

 

ARTICLE X. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

10.01. Appointment and Authorization
of Administrative Agent.

 

(a) Each
of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Scotiabank to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated
to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Other than
the rights of the Loan Parties under Section 10.06, (i) the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit
of Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and (ii) neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third
party beneficiary of any of such provisions. All benefits and amenities provided to Agent in this Article shall also apply to Arranger
in its capacity as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent”
herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary
or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter
of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

 

(b) The
Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its
capacities as a Swap Lender and Cash Management Party) and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent
to act as the agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral
granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably
incidental thereto. In this connection, the Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact
appointed by the Agent pursuant to Section 10.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or
any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction
of the Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X and Article XI (including
Section 11.04(c)), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent”
under the Loan Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

 

10.02. Rights
as a Lender. The Person serving as Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”
shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Agent hereunder
in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor
or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other
Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders.

 

10.03. Exculpatory
Provisions. Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent:

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 90

     

    

 

(a) shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(b) shall
not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing
by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the
other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion
or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable
Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law
or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief
Law; and

 

(c) shall
not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for
the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the
Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

Agent shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders,
as applicable (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Agent shall believe in good faith
shall be necessary, under the circumstances provided in Sections 9.02 and 11.01), or (ii) in the absence of its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.
Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to
Agent by Borrower, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.

 

Agent shall not be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection
with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder
or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or
other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness
or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to
be delivered to Agent.

 

10.04. Reliance
by Administrative Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet
or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated
by the proper Person. Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been
made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must
be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer unless Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the
making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance
with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 91

     

    

 

10.05. Delegation
of Duties. Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other
Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by Agent. Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all
of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of
this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities
as Agent. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court
of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct
in the selection of such sub-agents.

 

10.06. Resignation of Agent.

 

(a) Agent
may at any time give notice of its resignation to Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation,
the Majority Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of Borrower (but no such consent shall be required if a Default
is then continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any
such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as
shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent
may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications
set forth above, subject to the consent of Borrower (but no such consent shall be required if a Default is then continuing). Whether
or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall nonetheless become effective (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold
such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective
Date.

 

(b) If
the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Majority Lenders may,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Agent and appoint
a successor, subject to the consent of Borrower (but no such consent shall be required if a Default is then continuing). If no
such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or
such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such
removal shall nonetheless become effective (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the
Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a
successor Agent is appointed) in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

 

(c) With
effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Agent
shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity
payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through
Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders and Borrower,
if applicable, appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment
as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent), and the retiring
or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not
already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the
same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed
Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section
11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as
Agent.

 

(d) Any
resignation by Scotiabank as Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer, and additionally,
the L/C Issuer may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to Agent, the Lenders and Borrower. After the resignation
of the L/C Issuer hereunder, the retiring L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and
obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior
to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, renew or increase any existing
Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, any Letter of Credit with an auto-extend feature (for the avoidance of doubt,
the retiring L/C Issuer is authorized to notify each beneficiary of each Letter of Credit (in accordance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit) that any such Letter of Credit will not be renewed, extended or increased, automatically or otherwise). Upon
the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from
all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer 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 L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect
to such Letters of Credit.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 92

     

    

 

10.07. Non-Reliance
on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that
it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents
and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

10.08. No
Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no bookrunner, Arranger or other Lender holding a
title listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

 

10.09. Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be
due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand
on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a) to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations
and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order
to have the claims of Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders, the
L/C Issuer and Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.08 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding;
and

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 93

     

    

 

(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
and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly
to Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.

 

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

 

10.10. Collateral and Guarantor Matters.

 

(a) Each
Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents for the benefit
of such Lender and the L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance
thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth in Section 11.01, any action taken by the Majority
Lenders, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Majority Lenders
of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized
and binding upon all of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer. Agent is hereby authorized (but not obligated) on behalf of all of the
Lenders and the L/C Issuer, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender or the L/C Issuer from time
to time prior to, an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Collateral Documents which may be necessary
to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

 

(b) Each
Lender and the L/C Issuer (including in its capacities as a Cash Management Party and Swap Lender) hereby irrevocably authorize
Agent, at its option and in its discretion (and Agent hereby agrees in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) below),

 

(i) to
release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document (A) upon (I) termination of the
Aggregate Commitments, (II) irrevocable payment in full in cash of all Obligations (other than (x) contingent indemnification
obligations and (y)  any other obligations or liabilities, which by their terms expressly survive the termination of the Loan
Documents), (III) the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements
satisfactory to Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made) and (IV) the payment in full in cash of all Obligations arising
from the expiration, termination or unwinding of, or the novation to a financial institution which is not a Lender of, all then
existing Lender Swap Contracts (other than those as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Swap Lender shall
have been made) (the date upon which all of the matters described in the preceding subclauses (A)(I) through (A)(IV) of this
Section shall have occurred shall be herein called, the “Release Date”), (B) that is sold or to
be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (C) subject to Section 11.01,
if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders, (D) in connection with any foreclosure sale or other disposition
of Collateral after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (E) which release is otherwise required by this Agreement;

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 94

     

    

 

(ii) to
subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property
that is permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or if necessary, release such Lien; and

 

(iii) to
release any Guarantor from its obligation under any Guaranty of such Person if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result
of a transaction permitted hereunder.

 

Upon request by Agent at any time, each
Lender and the L/C Issuer will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular
types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.10.

 

(c) Subject
to (b) above, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to) execute such documents as
may be necessary to evidence the release or subordination of the Liens granted to Agent for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and
the L/C Issuer herein or pursuant hereto upon the applicable Collateral; provided that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute
any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to or create any liability or entail any consequence
other than the release or subordination of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release or subordination shall
not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrower or any other Loan Party
in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower or any other Loan Party, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall
continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect
to any of the Collateral, Agent shall be authorized to deduct all expenses reasonably incurred by Agent from the proceeds of any
such sale, transfer or foreclosure.

 

(d) Agent
shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is
owned by Borrower or any other Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Agent herein or in
any of the Collateral Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected,
protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner
or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this
Section 10.10 or in any of the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or
any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given
Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to Lenders
or the L/C Issuer.

 

(e) Each
Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Lenders’ and the L/C Issuer’s
security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender
or the L/C Issuer (other than Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall notify Agent
thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with Agent’s
instructions.

 

(f) Agent
shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence,
value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate
prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to
monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 95

     

    

 

(g) The
Secured Parties further irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, without the necessity
of any notice to or further consent from the Secured Parties, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, to credit bid and purchase
(either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) or Dispose of (or to consent to any such Disposition of) all or any
portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted by the Administrative Agent under the provisions of the UCC, including
pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or pursuant to any plan of reorganization, or at any sale or foreclosure conducted by the Administrative
Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable Law.

 

10.11. Cash
Management Agreements and Swap Contracts. No Cash Management Party or Swap Lender that obtains the benefits of Section 9.03,
any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any
right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise
in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) or any amendment or waiver of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, in each case other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly
provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, the Agent shall
not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations
arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Lender Swap Contracts unless the Agent has received written notice of such
Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Party or
Swap Lender, as the case may be.

 

10.12. Certain ERISA Matters.

BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that
such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by Borrower or any other Loan Party
against an Indemnitee (other than the Agent) for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under
any other Loan Document, if Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Borrower shall also pay any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC against,
and all costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof, by Agent and/or

as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection
with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(c).

 

(d) Waiver
of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives,

any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit
or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from
the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee
through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross

invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into
by Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection
with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part

(b) Assignments
by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations
in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

(i) Minimum
Amounts.

 

(A) in
the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing
to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned;
and

 

(B) in
any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose
includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the 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 Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the
Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless Agent otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments
from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as
a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

 

(ii) Proportionate
Amounts. (a) 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 with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned and (b) each assignment of any
Lender’s Commitments and/or New Money Loans (including any partial assignment thereof) shall include an assignment in the
same proportion of such Lender’s Roll-Up Loans (and vice versa);

consent of Agent shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved
Fund with respect to such Lender; and

 

(C) the
consent of the L/C Issuer shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in
exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding);

 

(iv) Assignment
and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with
a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that Agent may, in its sole discretion,
elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver
to Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 

(v) No
Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates
or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 104

     

    

 

(vi) No
Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

 

(vii) Certain
Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such
assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the
assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution
thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other
compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata
share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor
hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund
as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable
Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender
hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee
of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement 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 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to
the effective date of such assignment, provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties,
no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that
Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation
in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall
execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.

 

(c) Register.
The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the 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, and the
Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to
the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive
(absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 105

     

    

 

(d) Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person
(other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.04(c) without regard to
the existence of any participation.

 

Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement
or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or
other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that would adversely affect the superpriority status
of the claims or Liens on the Collateral. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section and shall be subject to Section 11.07.
To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were
a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells
a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary 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) of each Participant’s interest
in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that
no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (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 Loan Document) to any Person 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) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding
any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining
a Participant Register.

 

(e) Limitations
upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04
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. A Participant that would
be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified
of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section
3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

 

(f) Certain
Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations
to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment
shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a
party hereto.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 106

     

    

 

(g) Reserved.

 

(h) Resignation
as L/C Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Scotiabank assigns
all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Scotiabank may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower
and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint
from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint
any such successor shall affect the resignation of Scotiabank as L/C Issuer. If Scotiabank resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as
of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require
the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). Upon
the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer 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 Scotiabank
to effectively assume the obligations of Scotiabank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

11.07. Treatment of Certain Information;
Confidentiality. Each of Agent, Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (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 regulatory authority, purporting to have jurisdiction
over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder,
(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section in favor of Borrower, to (i)
any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap or derivative or other transaction
under which payments are to be made by reference to Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) with
the consent of Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach
of this Section or (y) becomes available to Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower, or (i) on a confidential basis to (x) any rating agency in connection
with rating Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Loans, or (y) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with
the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans. For purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from or on behalf of Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary or any
of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of Information received
after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
“Information” shall not include, and Agent and each Lender may disclose without limitation of any kind, any information
with respect to “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses)
that are provided to Agent or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any
document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction
as well as other information, this sentence shall apply only to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the
tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans, Letters of Credit and transactions contemplated hereby. Any Person required to maintain
the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do
so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would
accord to its own confidential information. Each of Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information
may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed
compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information
in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

 

11.08. Right of Setoff. If
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of Agent, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final,
in whatever currency, but excluding deposits held in any account designated as a fiduciary account) at any time held and other
obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit
or the account of Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement (including without limitation obligations under Swap Contracts) or any other Loan Document
to such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have
made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party may
be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office
holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall
exercise any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application
in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting
Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders, and (y) the
Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such
Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective
Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender,
the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify Borrower and Agent promptly
after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
setoff and application.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 107

     

    

 

11.09. Interest Rate Limitation.
It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to Applicable Usury Laws regarding the use, forbearance or detention
of the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, whether such Laws are now or hereafter
in effect, including the Laws of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction whose Laws are applicable, and including
any subsequent revisions to or judicial interpretations of those Laws, in each case to the extent they are applicable to this
Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents (the “Applicable Usury Laws”). Accordingly, if any
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes or any payment by Borrower or any other Person produces a rate in excess of the Maximum
Amount or otherwise results in Borrower or such other Person being deemed to have paid any interest in excess of the Maximum Amount,
or if Agent or any of the Lenders shall for any reason receive any unearned interest in violation of any Applicable Usury Laws,
or if any transaction contemplated hereby would otherwise be usurious under any Applicable Usury Laws, then, in that event, regardless
of any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or other agreement or instrument executed or delivered
in connection herewith, the provisions of this Section 11.09 shall govern and control, and neither Borrower nor any other
Person shall be obligated to pay, or apply in any manner to, any amount that would be excessive interest. Agent or the Lenders
shall never be deemed to have contracted for or be entitled to receive, collect, charge, reserve or apply as interest on any Loan
(whether termed interest therein or deemed to be interest by judicial determination or operation of law), any amount in excess
of the Maximum Amount, and, in the event that Agent or any of the Lenders ever receive, collect, or apply as interest any such
excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied as a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder
as such, and, if the principal amount of the applicable Loans are paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to
Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest contracted for, received, collected, charged reserved, paid or payable, including
under any specific contingency, exceeds the Maximum Amount, Borrower, Agent and the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted
under applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment (other than payments which are expressly designated as interest
payments hereunder) as an expense or fee rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and
(iii) amortize and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire stated term of the Loans so that the interest rate
is uniform throughout such term; provided that if the Loans are paid in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term hereof,
and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Amount, if any, then Agent or the
Lenders shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess, or credit the amount of such excess against the aggregate unpaid principal
balance of all Loans made by Agent or the Lenders. As used herein, the term “Maximum Amount” means the
maximum nonusurious amount of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, reserved, charged, collected or received by Agent
or such Lender in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement, the Notes and other Loan Documents under all Applicable
Usury Laws, and the term “Maximum Rate” has a corresponding meaning. Texas Finance Code, Chapter 346,
which regulates certain revolving loan accounts and revolving tri-party accounts, shall not apply to any revolving loan accounts
created under, or apply in any manner to, the Notes, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

11.10. Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement
and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any
conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation
of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with
the fair meaning thereof; provided further that in the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of the
Loan Documents and the DIP Order, the provisions of the DIP Order shall govern and control. Except as provided in Section 5.01,
this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Agent and when Agent shall have received counterparts
hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (including PDF) shall be effective as delivery
of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

11.11. Survival of Representations
and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered
pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.
Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation
made by Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Release Date.

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 108

     

    

 

11.12. Severability. If any
provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity
and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired
thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions
with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction.

 

11.13. Legal Representation of Agent.
In connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in connection with
future legal representation relating to loan administration, amendments, modifications, waivers, or enforcement of remedies, Winstead
PC only has represented and only shall represent Scotiabank in its capacity as Agent and as a Lender. Each other Lender hereby
acknowledges that Winstead PC does not represent it in connection with any such matters.

 

11.14. Replacement of Lenders.
If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender,

 

then Borrower may,
at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and/or Participant and the Agent, require such Lender and/or Participant
to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required
by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.01
or Section 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall
assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

 

(a) Borrower
shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b);

 

(b) such
Lender and/or Participant shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including
any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

 

(c) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to
be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
and

 

(d) such
assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

 

A Lender or Participant
shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or Participant
or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if such Lender (or its Affiliate) is a Swap
Lender with any outstanding Lender Swap Contract, unless on the date thereof or prior thereto, all such Lender Swap Contracts have
been terminated or novated to another Person and such Lender (or its Affiliate) shall have received payment of all amounts, if
any, payable to it in connection with such termination or novation.

APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF

EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND

11.17. USA PATRIOT
Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act (as hereinafter defined) and Agent (for itself and not on behalf
of any Lender) hereby notifies 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 Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will
allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. Borrower shall, promptly following
a request by Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that Agent or such Lender requests in order
to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer,” Beneficial Ownership Regulation
and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.

 

11.18. No Advisory
or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection
with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges
and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Agent and the Arranger, are arm’s-length
commercial transactions between Borrower and each other Loan Party, on the one hand, and Agent and the Arranger, on the other
hand, (B) each of Borrower and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to
the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) Borrower and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and
accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A)
Agent and the Arranger, each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant
parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrower, any other Loan Party, or
any other Person and (B) neither Agent nor the Arranger has any obligation to Borrower and any other Loan Party with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and
(iii) Agent and the Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests
that differ from those of Borrower, the other Loan Parties, and neither Agent nor the Arranger has any obligation to disclose
any of such interests to Borrower or any other Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Borrower and the other
Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Agent and the Arranger with respect to any breach
or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

 

11.19. Electronic
Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words
of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents)
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.

 

11.20. Concerning
Swap Contracts. Until the Release Date, the benefit of the Collateral Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement
relating to any collateral securing the Obligations shall also extend to and be available to any Swap Lenders which are counterparties
to any Lender Swap Contract on a pro rata basis in respect of any obligations of Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
which arise under any such Lender Swap Contract; provided the benefits of this Agreement shall not apply to, and the Collateral
Documents shall not secure, trades, confirmations and swap transactions which are entered into after such Lender ceases to be
a Lender or such Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate of such Lender under this Agreement. No Swap Lender shall have any voting
rights under any Loan Document as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Lender Swap Contract, except
with respect to Collateral to the extent, and only to the extent, set forth in the final paragraph of Section 11.01. All
Lender Swap Contracts, if any, are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of said Lender Swap Contracts, which
will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in
the terms of the Loan or this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in said Lender Swap Contract, and any payoff statement
from any Lender relating to this Agreement shall not apply to said Lender Swap Contracts except as otherwise expressly provided
in such payoff statement.

11.21. Concerning
Cash Management Agreements. Until the Release Date, the benefit of the Collateral Documents and the provisions of this
Agreement relating to any collateral securing the Obligations shall also extend to and be available to any Cash Management Party
which is a party to a Secured Cash Management Agreement on a pro rata basis in respect of any obligations of Borrower or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries which may arise thereunder. The benefits of this Agreement shall not apply to, and the Collateral
Documents shall not secure, the Cash Management Obligations of any Cash Management Party that ceases to be a Lender or an Affiliate
of a Lender under this Agreement. No Cash Management Party shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document as a result of
the existence of obligations owed to it under any Secured Cash Management Agreement, except with respect to Collateral to the
extent, and only to the extent, set forth in the final paragraph of Section 11.01. All Secured Cash Management Agreements,
if any, are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of said Secured Cash Management Agreement, which remain
in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms of
the Loan or this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in said Secured Cash Management Agreement. Any payoff statement
from any Lender relating to this Agreement shall not apply to a Secured Cash Management Agreement, except as otherwise expressly
provided in said payoff statement.

 

11.22. Time
of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

 

11.23. Entire
Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL
AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

 

11.24. Excluded
Swap Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Obligations guaranteed
by any Guarantor, or secured by the grant of any Lien by such Guarantor under any Collateral Document, shall exclude all Excluded
Swap Obligations with respect to such Guarantor.

 

11.25. Acknowledgement
and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document
or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability
of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject
to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable 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 the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder
which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

 

    CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 112

     

    

 

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

 

(i) a
reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

 

(ii) a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected 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 Loan Document; or

 

(iii) the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable
Resolution Authority.

 

11.26. Acknowledgement
Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise,
for Swap Contracts 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 Loan 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 Loan 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 Loan 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.

 

11.27. Cashless
Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or
rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any amendment, repayment, refinancing, incremental, extension, loan
modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved
by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender and such cashless settlement shall be deemed to comply with any requirement
hereunder or any other Loan Document or the DIP Order that such payment be made “in dollars,” “in immediately
available funds,” “in cash” or any similar concept.

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

	 	 	Without limiting the payment priority set forth in the mandatory and optional prepayment provisions below, all proceeds of Collateral (as defined below) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be allocated first, to pay all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, the First-Out Term Loan Facility (in each case including, without limitation, interest, principal, fees and cash-collateralization of Letters of Credit (as defined below)), Secured Hedging Transactions and Secured Cash Management Obligations, and, second, to pay amounts outstanding under the Second-Out Term Loan Facility.
	 	 	 
	 	 	Any assignment under the First-Out Term Loan Facility shall be required to include a proportional amount of the Revolving Credit Facility and vice versa.
	 	 	 
	Purpose:	 	All amounts due and owing to the Secured Parties under the Prepetition Facility and the DIP Facility (including, but not limited to, any principal, interest, fees, non-contingent expense reimbursement or indemnification obligations owed to the Secured Parties pursuant to the Prepetition Facility and the DIP Facility and related loan documents and any other “Obligations” under the Prepetition Facility and the DIP Facility, but excluding outstanding letters of credit under the Prepetition Facility or DIP Facility that will be deemed issued under the Revolving Credit Facility) shall be repaid (or deemed repaid) in full with the incurrence of loans under the Facilities on the Closing Date.
	 	 	 
	 	 	The Facilities will be available (a) to provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit, (b) to pay fees, commissions and expenses in connection with the Facilities, (c) to finance ongoing working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes (including financing permitted acquisitions of oil and gas properties and other assets related to the exploration, production and development of oil and gas properties) and (d) for permitted investments and other permitted payments; provided that the Borrower will not use any proceeds for the purpose of purchasing or carrying, directly or indirectly, any margin stock or for any other purpose which would constitute this transaction a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U or for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activity with any sanctioned person or in any sanctioned country.
	 	 	 
	Commitment Reduction:	 	The Aggregate Commitments may be reduced by the Borrower, in a minimum reduction amount (and integral multiple thereof) to be mutually agreed in accordance with the Documentation Principles.
	 	 	 
	Letters of Credit:	 	The Revolving Credit Facility shall include a sublimit for letters of credit issued by the LC Issuer (the “Letters of Credit”), which may be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries, in an amount not to exceed $100 million; provided that such amount may be increased to $150 million with the consent of the Agent and the LC Issuer.  Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be reduced by the amount of any Letters of Credit outstanding.  No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date after the earlier of (a) one year after the date of issuance or last extension, unless satisfactorily collateralized or backstopped in the LC Issuer’s sole discretion and (b) five business days prior to the Maturity Date (defined herein) (or, if such day is not a business day, the next preceding business day), unless the LC Issuer has approved such expiry date; provided, that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (b) above); provided, further, that any such renewal must permit the LC Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-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 in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

	 	 	Drawings under any Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed by the Borrower (whether with its own funds or with the proceeds of loans) after notice of drawing pursuant to the Documentation Principles.  To the extent that the Borrower does not reimburse the LC Issuer by such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on such date of drawing in an amount equal to the unreimbursed amount.
	 	 	 
	 	 	Letters of credit issued under the Prepetition Facility or the DIP Facility that remain undrawn on the Closing Date shall be rolled into and automatically be deemed to be issued and outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
	 	 	 
	Pricing, Fees and Interest Rates:	 	As outlined in Addendum I.
	 	 	 
	Borrowing Base:	 	The Borrowing Base (“Borrowing Base”) shall be based on the loan value assigned by the Agent and the Lenders to the proved reserves attributable to the Loan Parties’ oil and gas properties. The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined (a) on May 1 of each year (or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practical) based on the previous January 1 reserve report prepared by an independent engineering firm reasonably acceptable to the Agent (each an “Independent Engineering Firm”) and (b) on November 1 of each year (or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practical) based on the previous July 1 reserve report prepared internally by petroleum engineers who are employees of the Borrower or its subsidiaries. The first scheduled Borrowing Base redetermination will be on November 1, 2021 (or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practical), based on the reserve report required to be delivered on October 1, 2021. Following the first scheduled Borrowing Base redetermination, the Borrower and the Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall each have the right to request one additional Borrowing Base redetermination during each period between scheduled redeterminations.  Any increase in the Borrowing Base from a redetermination (including any unscheduled redetermination) shall require approval of all Lenders. Any decrease or reaffirmation of an existing Borrowing Base shall require approval of the Required Lenders including the Agent. The Borrower may also request an interim redetermination in connection with an acquisition or in advance of such acquisition (including in connection with the designation of an unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary or transfer from a joint venture) of proved oil and gas reserves with an aggregate value exceeding five percent (5%) of the Borrowing Base then in effect (provided that the Borrower shall have the option to only provide a reserve report or other engineering data reasonably acceptable to the Agent in respect of the acquired properties (in which case the most recent reserve report shall be used for the existing properties)).  A Lender that fails to respond shall be deemed to disapprove of an increase to the Borrowing Base and approve the reaffirmation or reduction to the Borrowing Base.
	 	 	 
	 	 	The Borrowing Base shall be proposed by the Agent and approved or deemed approved by the requisite Lenders as provided above.  Each determination of the Borrowing Base shall be made by the Agent and each Lender in good faith in accordance with its respective usual and customary oil and gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time as determined by the Agent or such Lender in its sole discretion, which shall include consideration of the most recent Reserve Report supplied by the Borrower, prepared according to the reporting covenants to be set forth in the Loan Documents (as defined below), and in compliance with each such persons’ usual and customary procedures for evaluating the collateral value of oil and gas interests and related assets and including adjustments to reflect the effect of the Loan Parties’ hedging activities as they exist at the time of redetermination.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

	 	 	Additionally, the Borrowing Base will be automatically reduced, unless waived by the Required Lenders, if the Borrower or any subsidiary (i) sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of assets included in the most recent Borrowing Base or (ii) amends, terminates or unwinds commodity hedges and the value attributable to disposed assets or hedge amendments, terminations or unwinds exceeds, individually or in the aggregate when combined with all such other asset dispositions and amended, terminated, or unwound commodity hedges since the last redetermination, five percent (5.0%) of the then-effective Borrowing Base, then the Borrowing Base will be reduced by an amount equal to the Borrowing Base value contributed by such assets and/or such hedging agreements (in each case, as determined by the Agent and approved by the Required Lenders). 
	 	 	 
	Maturity Date and Amortization:	 	The Revolving Credit Facility shall mature on the date falling three years after the Closing Date. 
	 	 	 
	 	 	The First-Out Term Loan Facility shall mature on the date falling three years after the Closing Date and will amortize with quarterly installments in an amount equal to $15.0 million, commencing on the date that is numerically equivalent to the Closing Date and occurring three months after the Closing Date. Any amounts applied as a permitted prepayment of the First-Out Term Loans shall be applied as a credit against the immediately succeeding amortization installment, or installments (as the case may be) in direct order of maturity.
	 	 	 
	 	 	The Second-Out Term Loan Facility shall mature on the date falling 42 months after the Closing Date.
	 	 	 
	 	 	The Revolving Credit Facility and the Second-Out Term Loan Facility shall not be subject to amortization.
	 	 	 
	Closing:	 	The date upon which all conditions precedent to the closing of the Facilities are satisfied (the “Closing Date”).
	 	 	 
	Voluntary Prepayments:	 	Voluntary prepayments of loans under the Revolving Credit Facility are permitted (subject to payment of customary applicable breakage costs, if any) in minimum amounts and with prior notice to be mutually agreed.
	 	 	 
	 	 	Voluntary prepayments of the First-Out Term Loans are permitted (subject to payment of customary applicable breakage costs, if any); provided that (A) no Revolving Loans are outstanding and any Letters of Credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility have been cash collateralized in full, in each case on a pro forma basis for such prepayment, (B) the Borrower is in pro forma compliance with the applicable Financial Covenants after giving pro forma effect to such prepayment (unless such prepayment contemporaneously is a First-Out Payment in Full) and (C) no default or event of default exists or would result from such prepayment.
	 	 	 
	 	 	Voluntary prepayments of the Second-Out Term Loan Facility (if any) are permitted (subject to payment of customary applicable breakage costs, if any); provided that First-Out Payment in Full (as defined below) has occurred.

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

	Mandatory Repayment:	 	To the extent the total revolving credit exposures exceeds the Aggregate Commitment, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay the borrowings on such date in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess.
	 	 	 
	 	 	To the extent the total credit exposures under the Revolving Credit Facility, the First-Out Term Loan Facility and the Second-Out Term Loan Facility exceed the Borrowing Base, a “Borrowing Base Deficiency” shall exist.  If a Borrowing Base Deficiency arises the Borrower shall, within 10 business days after being notified of the deficiency by the Agent, notify the Agent that it intends to take one or more of the following actions: (a) within 30 days after such election, prepay the Borrowing Base Deficiency in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, (b) prepay the Borrowing Base Deficiency in 6 equal monthly payments beginning on the 30th day after the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such Borrowing Base Deficiency from the Agent or (c) within 30 days after such election provide additional engineering information, subject to Required Lender approval, with respect to additional Borrowing Base Properties (as defined below) not previously included in a reserve report, and additional mortgages satisfactory to the Agent to the extent necessary to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency; provided, in each case, that any such Borrowing Base Deficiency must be cured on or prior to the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Facility, and once a Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured, the Borrower shall not be required to continue to take such actions.  If the Borrower fails to deliver such election within 10 business days, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to take the actions set forth in clause (b) above.
	 	 	 
	 	 	If a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists as a result of a sale or other disposition of properties or pursuant to the termination of swap agreements or during an Event of Default (hereafter defined), the Borrower shall, to the extent of any Borrowing Base Deficiency arising on account thereof, to the extent applicable, immediately prepay the borrowings with (a) the net cash proceeds received from such sales or other dispositions of properties and (b) the proceeds received pursuant to the termination of such swap agreements.
	 	 	 
	 	 	If the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries have Excess Cash (as defined below) in excess of $30,000,000 in the aggregate (with an additional basket available for expenses projected in good faith to be paid in the following 5 business days, not to exceed $30,000,000) on Thursday of each week, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay the borrowings in an amount equal to such excess. 
	 	 	 
	 	 	Upon the issuance of permitted unsecured senior or senior subordinated indebtedness after the Closing Date, the Borrowing Base shall be automatically reduced by $0.25 for every $1.00 of such indebtedness, and to the extent a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists as a result thereof, the Borrower shall, to the extent of any Borrowing Base Deficiency arising on account thereof, prepay the borrowings with the net cash proceeds of such indebtedness.
	 	 	 
	 	 	Each prepayment described in this section shall be applied first to the Revolving Loans until the Revolving Loans have been repaid in full and any Letters of Credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility have been cash collateralized in full, and second to the First-Out Term Loans, without premium or penalty or LIBOR breakage costs, as mutually agreed.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

	 	 	After (i) indefeasible payment or satisfaction in full, in cash, of the Revolving Loans and other obligations outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the termination of commitments in respect thereof, (ii) cash collateralization (or other arrangement satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank) of Letters of Credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, (iii)  cash collateralization (or other arrangement satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank) of Secured Hedging Obligations, (iv) cash collateralization (or other arrangement satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank) of Secured Cash Management Obligations and (v) the First-Out Term Loans under the First-Out Term Loan Facility (collectively the “First-Out Payment in Full”), the Second-Out Term Loans under the Second-Out Term Loan Facility shall be prepaid, without premium or penalty or LIBOR breakage costs, as mutually agreed.
	 	 	 
	 	 	“Excess Cash” means, as of any date of determination, cash and cash equivalents of the Loan Parties other than (a) any cash allocated for, reserved or otherwise set aside to pay royalty obligations, working interest obligations, vendor payments, suspense payments, similar payments as are customary in the oil and gas industry, severance and ad valorem taxes, payroll, payroll taxes, other taxes, and employee wage and benefit payment obligations of the Borrower or any restricted subsidiary then due and owing (or to be due and owing within five (5) business days of such date) and for which the Borrower or such restricted subsidiary either (x) has issued checks or has initiated wires or ACH transfers or (y) reasonably anticipates in good faith that it will issue checks or initiate wires or ACH transfers within five (5) business days of such date, (b) any cash allocated for, reserved or otherwise set aside to pay other amounts permitted to be paid by the Borrower or its restricted subsidiaries in accordance with the Revolving Credit Facility and other Loan Documents due and owing as of such date (or to be due and owing within five (5) business days of such date) to persons who are not affiliates of the Loan Parties and for which obligations the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries have (x) issued checks or have initiated wires or ACH transfers or (y) reasonably anticipates in good faith that it will issue checks or initiate wires or ACH transfers within five (5) business days of such date,  (c) any cash of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries constituting pledges and/or deposits securing any binding and enforceable purchase and sale agreement with any persons who are not affiliates of the Loan Parties, in each case to the extent permitted by the Revolving Credit Facility, (d) cash deposited with the L/C Issuer to cash collateralize Letters of Credit, and (e) any amounts in an Excluded Account that is an Excluded Account solely because in the aggregate all such Excluded Accounts do not have a balance greater than $2,500,000.

	Swap Agreements:	 	Loan Parties may not enter into any secured swap agreements with any person other than Lenders or their affiliates.  Swap agreements in respect of commodities will be prohibited if the effect would be to cause the notional volumes of all swap agreements and additional fixed-price physical off-take contracts, in the aggregate, to exceed 80% of the reasonably anticipated projected production from the Borrower’s oil and gas properties for the first 60 months following the effective date of each such swap agreement (the “Ongoing Hedges”); provided, that, for calendar year 2021, such cap shall be increased to 90% of reasonably anticipated projected production from the Borrower’s oil and gas properties; provided, further, that, in addition to the Ongoing Hedges, in connection with a proposed acquisition (each, a “Proposed Acquisition”) by a Loan Party of oil and gas properties, the Loan Parties may, upon consultation with and approval from the Agent (such approval not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (the date of such approval, the “Approval Date”), also enter into incremental hedging contracts with respect to the reasonably anticipated projected production of total proved oil and gas reserves to be acquired (the “acquired amount”) for notional volumes not in excess of 80% of the reasonably anticipated projected production from the Borrower’s proved reserves for the first 36 months following the effective date of each such swap agreement; provided, further, that all such incremental hedging contracts entered into with respect to a Proposed Acquisition shall be terminated or unwound within 30 days following the termination of such Proposed Acquisition (or the failure of any Loan Party to enter into a definitive acquisition agreement with respect to such Proposed Acquisition within 30 days of the Approval Date), as each such date may be extended by the Agent in its sole discretion.  To the extent that the volumes hedged exceed 100% of actual or projected production, the Loan Parties shall be required to unwind swap agreements pursuant to procedures and subject to thresholds and timeframes to be agreed. The above limitations shall in any event exclude basis differential swaps and basis hedging arrangements, and shall further exclude any repurchases (whether effectuated via mutually negotiated close-out or purchase of offsetting options) of sold call transactions (or the expirations thereof), which sold call transactions were entered into prior to the closing date of the Facilities.

	Interest Rates:	 	At Borrower’s option: 
	 	 	 
	 	 	• ABR plus the Applicable Margin determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid below. 
	 	 	 
	 	 	• LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid below. 
	 	 	 
	 	 	“ABR” means a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the highest of (a) the US Prime Rate of interest in effect on such day, (b) 30-day LIBO Rate plus 1.0% per annum and (c) the sum of the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 0.5% per annum. 
	 	 	 
	 	 	“Prime Rate” means the rate of interest per annum determined by Scotiabank from time to time as its prime commercial lending rate for United States Dollar loans in the United States for such day. The Prime Rate is not necessarily the lowest rate that Scotiabank is charging any corporate customer.
	 	 	 
	 	 	“LIBO Rate” means, for any interest period with respect to any LIBO Rate loan: (a) the rate of interest per annum, expressed on the basis of a year of 360 days, determined by the Agent, which is equal to the offered rate that appears on the page of the Reuters LIBOR01 screen (or any successor thereto as may be selected by the Agent) for deposits in Dollars with a term equivalent to such interest period, determined as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two (2) business days prior to the first day of such interest period, or (b) if the rates referenced in the preceding subsection (a) are not available, the rate per annum determined by the Agent as the rate of interest, expressed on a basis of 360 days at which deposits in Dollars for delivery on the first day of such interest period in same day funds in the approximate amount of the LIBO Rate loan being made, continued or converted by the Agent and with a term and amount comparable to such interest period and principal amount of such LIBO Rate loan as would be offered by the Agent’s London Branch to major banks in the offshore Dollar market at their request at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two (2) business days prior to the first day of such interest period.
	 	 	 
	 	 	“Federal Funds Effective Rate” means, for any day, an interest rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal Funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers, as published for such day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or if such rate is not so published for such day, the average of the quotations for such day on such transactions received by the Agent from three Federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by it. 
	 	 	 
	 	 	LIBO Rate interest periods shall be one, two, three, six or twelve months.  Interest on ABR loans shall be payable on the last day of each quarter, upon any prepayment (whether due to acceleration or otherwise) and at final maturity. Interest on LIBO Rate loans shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each interest period, in the case of an interest period longer than three months, quarterly, upon any prepayment (whether due to acceleration or otherwise) and at final maturity. All interest shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, unless such calculation would exceed the highest lawful rate, in which case interest shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365, or when appropriate 366, day year.

 

    	 	22	 

     

    

 

	 		In no event shall LIBOR be
    less than one percent (1.0%).
	 	 	 
	 	 	The Loan Documents
    shall include customary provisions relating to a replacement rate for LIBOR.
	 	 	 
	 	 	The Loan Documents
    shall include provisions consistent with Documentation Principles including, without limitation, in respect of breakage or

    or other taxes (unless required by applicable law) but in any event excluding liability for taxes associated with the Foreign
    Account Tax Compliance Act. 
	 	 	 
	 	 	Automatically during
    any payment or bankruptcy event of default or upon notice by the Majority Lenders in the event of any other event of default,
    the interest rate will be equal to ABR or LIBOR, as applicable, plus the Applicable Margin, plus 2% per annum. 
	 	 	 
	Letter of Credit Fees:	 	Letter of Credit fees are due quarterly
    in arrears and on the Maturity Date to be shared proportionately by the Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders). Letter of
    Credit fees shall accrue at the same rate as set forth in the Pricing Grid for applicable margin for LIBO Rate loans. In addition,
    the Borrower shall pay the Agent for the account of the LC Issuer a fronting fee equal to 0.20% of the aggregate face amount
    of outstanding Letter of Credits.  Letter of Credit fees will be calculated on the stated amount of each Letter
    of Credit for the duration thereof.
	 	 	 
	Commitment Fees:	 	The Borrower agrees to pay a commitment
    fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum determined based on the Pricing Grid below on the average daily unused amount
    of the commitment of each Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date.  Accrued
    commitment fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first quarter after the
    Closing Date.  All commitment fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, unless
    such calculation would exceed the highest lawful rate, in which case interest shall be calculated for actual days elapsed
    on the basis of a 365, or when appropriate 366, day year.
	 	 	 
	Upfront Fees:	 	The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
    Agent, for the pro rata account of each of the Lenders, upfront fees in an aggregate amount equal to 75.0 bps of the aggregate
    amount of the Facilities, which shall be fully earned and will be due and payable in full in cash on the Closing Date.
	 	 	 
	Pricing Grid:	 	The Applicable Margin
    and Applicable Commitment Fee for Revolving Loans will be determined in accordance with the following table:

    	 	23
