Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office a Notice of Borrowing prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at
least ten Business Days’ prior written notice of each Borrowing of Loans (or with respect to any Borrowing of Initial Loans,

available to the Borrower, by depositing or wiring to an account as designated by the Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing to the
Administrative Agent the aggregate of the amounts so made available in Dollars. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been
notified by any Lender prior to the date of any such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative
Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender
has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance
upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative
Agent has made available such amount to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding
amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s
demand therefor the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding
amount to the Administrative Agent in Dollars. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the
Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount
was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative
Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing
or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest
or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.6, for the respective Loans.

 

    	 	39	 

     

    

 

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

 

Section 2.5           Repayment

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

 

Section 2.6           Pro
Rata Borrowings. Each Borrowing under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro
rata on the basis of their then applicable Commitment Percentages with respect to the applicable Class. It is understood that

of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and (b) failure by a Lender to perform any of its obligations under any
of the Credit Documents shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation under any Credit Document.

owing hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall not be paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise)

that is (the “Default Rate”) (A) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable
thereto plus 2% or (B) in the case of any overdue interest, fees or any other amounts owing hereunder or under any other
Credit Document, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, the rate described in Section 2.6(a) plus 2%
from the date of such non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

 

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

 

(e)          All
computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 4.5.

 

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

 

Section 2.8           Interest
Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing in respect of the making
of a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice of the Interest Period applicable
to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower be a one-, three- or six-month period as requested
by the Borrower. Each subsequent Interest Period for any Borrowing shall be of the same duration as the immediately preceding Interest
Period unless the Borrower has delivered a notice to the Administrative Agent electing an Interest Period of a different duration
prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days’ prior to the expiration of such preceding Interest
Period.

 

Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained above:

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	41	 

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

Section 2.9           Increased
Costs, Illegality, Etc.

 

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

 

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

 

(ii)         that,
due to a Change in Law occurring at any time after the Closing Date, which Change in Law shall (A) impose, modify or deem applicable
any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender, (B) subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Tax with respect to
any Credit Document or, with respect to any Lender, any LIBOR Loan made by it (other than (1) Taxes indemnifiable under Section
4.4, or (2) Excluded Taxes), or (C) impose on the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense (in each case, other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by any Lender, which results
in the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans hereunder
increasing by an amount which such Lender or the Administrative Agent reasonably deems material or the amounts received or receivable
by such Lender hereunder with respect to the foregoing shall be reduced; or

 

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

 

then, and in any such event, such Lenders (or
the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) or (ii)) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give written
notice (which may be by email) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i), LIBOR Loans shall
no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances
giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at
such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice of Borrowing given by the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans
that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii), the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, promptly (but no later than fifteen days) after receipt of written demand
therefor such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for such increased
costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to
such Lender or the Administrative Agent, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower
by such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii), the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section
2.9(c) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by applicable Requirements of Law.

 

    	 	42	 

     

    

 

(b)          If
at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the
circumstances set forth in Section 2.9(a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii)
the circumstances set forth in Section 2.9(a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO
Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying
a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR Rate that gives due consideration
to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time,
and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to
this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.01, such amendment shall become
effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall
not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders,
a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate
of interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2.9(b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described
in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.9(b), only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest
Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Loans shall be made as ABR Loans and (y) any
outstanding Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans; provided that,
if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

 

(c)          At
any time that any LIBOR Loan is or would be affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.9(a), the Borrower may
(and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(iii) shall) either if the affected LIBOR Loan is then
being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing or convert such borrowing into a borrowing of ABR Loans, in either case,
by giving the Administrative Agent written notice (which may be by email) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified
by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(a) or if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’
notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such LIBOR Loan into an ABR Loan; provided
that if more than one Lender are affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to
this Section 2.9(c).

 

(d)          If,
after the Closing Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements of any Lender or compliance by
any Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements occurring after the Closing
Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s capital or assets
as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with
respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements), then from time to time, promptly (but in any event no later than fifteen
days) after written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however,
that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any
request or directive to comply with, any applicable Requirement of Law as in effect on the Closing Date. Each Lender, upon determining
in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.9(d), will give prompt written notice
thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts,
although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.12, release or diminish the Borrower’s
obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.9(d) upon receipt of such notice.

 

    	 	43	 

     

    

 

Section 2.10         Compensation.
If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last
day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.9,
4.1, 4.2 or 12.6, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Article X or
for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans is not made on the date specified in a Notice of Borrowing (other than as
a result of the operation of Section 2.9), or (c) any prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is not made as a result
of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, the Borrower shall after the Borrower’s
receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount),
pay to the Administrative Agent (within fifteen days after such request) for the account of such Lender any amounts required to
compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment,
failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated
profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund
or maintain such LIBOR Loan.

 

Section 2.11         Change
of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise
to the operation of Section 2.9(a)(ii), 2.9(a)(iii), 2.9(d) or 4.4 with respect to such Lender, it
will, if requested by the Borrower use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate
another lending office for any Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation does not cause such Lender or
its lending office to suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the
event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall affect or postpone any of the
obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.9 or 4.4.

 

Section 2.12         Notice
of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent
any notice required by Section 2.9, 2.10 or 4.4 is given by any Lender more than 180 days after such Lender
has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts,
loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section
2.9, 2.10 or 4.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 181st day prior
to the giving of such notice to the Borrower; provided that if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive,
then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 

Section
2.13         Incremental Term Loans.

 

(a)          At
any time and from time to time following the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may
request additional term loans (each, an “Incremental Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount no greater than
$30,000,000 (the “Incremental Commitment”); provided that such request shall be by written notice to
the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) at least ten
(10) Business Days prior to the Borrowing of such Incremental Loan.

 

    	 	44	 

     

    

 

(b)          The
incurrence of Incremental Loans shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver on or prior to the date of the relevant Incremental
Facility Amendment of each of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2.

 

(c)          Any
Incremental Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and security with, and have the benefit of the same or equivalent
guarantees as, the Obligations in respect of the other Loans then outstanding, (ii) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated
substantially the same as (or, to the extent set forth in the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment, less favorably than) the
other Loans then outstanding, and (iii) other than with respect to amortization, maturity date and pricing (including, without
limitation, the interest rate, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums to be set forth in the relevant Incremental Facility
Amendment), shall have substantially the same terms as the Initial Loans or such terms as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent; provided that (A) to the extent that the terms of any Incremental Loans are made subject to additional covenants
or events of default, such covenants and events of default shall also be made to apply equally to the other Loans then outstanding;
and (B) if the effective yield (which, for such purpose only, shall be deemed to take account of interest rate margin and benchmark
floors, recurring fees and all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (1) the Weighted
Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Loans and (2) three years) payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Loans
(but excluding any arrangement, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with
all Lenders (in their capacity as such) providing such Incremental Loans) on such Incremental Loans determined as of the initial
funding date for such Incremental Loans exceeds the effective yield (determined on the same basis as the preceding parenthetical)
on the other Loans of any Class, calculated independently, then outstanding as determined immediately prior to the effectiveness
of the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, the Applicable Margin relating to such other Loans shall be adjusted in order
that such effective yield on such other Loans shall not be less than such effective yield on the Incremental Loans being incurred.
No Incremental Loan shall have a final maturity date earlier than the Maturity Date or a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter
than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the other Loans then outstanding. It is understood and agreed that, at the sole discretion
of the Lenders any original issue discount payable to new Lenders may be paid as an upfront fee to the existing Lenders or be applied
to the margin on the Loans existing prior to such Incremental Loan. 

 

(d)          Each
notice from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(a) shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant
Incremental Loans. The Borrower may seek Incremental Loans from (i) existing Lenders or their Affiliates, (ii) the Riverstone Lenders
or (iii) such other financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent that are willing to provide Incremental
Loans (it being understood that each of the entities described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) shall be entitled to
agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) (any of the foregoing who so provides an Incremental Loan, an “Incremental
Lender”); provided that the existing Lenders or their Affiliates and the Riverstone Lenders shall be afforded
a right of first refusal to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Loans on the same terms as those offered by any other such
financial institutions described in clause (iii) by delivering notice to the Borrower within five (5) Business Days of the
notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(a); provided further that any such Affiliates or other
financial institutions shall provide to the Administrative Agent all documents and information required by regulatory authorities
under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations. 

 

(e)          Each
Incremental Loan shall become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Incremental Facility Amendment”)
to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the Borrower, the relevant Incremental Lender(s)
and the Administrative Agent. No Incremental Facility Amendment shall require the consent of any Lenders or any other Person other
than the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Incremental Lenders providing Incremental Loans under such Incremental
Facility Amendment. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing
and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to any of the transactions effected
pursuant to this Section 2.13.

 

    	 	45	 

     

    

 

Section 2.14         Mandatory
Reduction of Commitments. The Commitment of a particular Class of each Lender shall be
reduced by the principal amount of such Lender’s portion of each Borrowing of Loans of the same Class on the date of such
Borrowing.

Each such notice shall specify the date and

Section 4.2           Mandatory
Prepayments.

 

(a)          The
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office written notice of its intent to make such
mandatory prepayment, the amount of such prepayment and the sub-paragraph of this Section 4.2 pursuant to which such prepayment

be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders. 

 

(b)          Repayment
of Loans Following Asset Sales. Unless the Majority Lenders shall agree in writing (in their sole discretion) that no prepayment
of Loans is required pursuant to this clause (b), in the event that the Borrower or any Credit Party shall receive, at any time,

among such Loans and (B) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (A), no prepayment of Loans shall be applied to
the Loans of any Defaulting Lender unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Borrower. In the absence of a designation by the
Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in
its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.10.

 

(g)          Application
of Proceeds. Each prepayment of principal pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest

and Place of Payment.

 

(a)          Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower without set-off, counterclaim
or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto not later than 2:00
p.m. (New York City time), in each case, on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative
Agent’s Office or at such other account as the Administrative Agent shall specify for such purpose by notice to the Borrower.
All repayments or prepayments of any Loans (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) hereunder and all other payments under
each Credit Document shall be made in Dollars. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed promptly upon receipt
of payment by the Administrative Agent in like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably to the Lenders
entitled thereto.

 

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

 

Section 4.4           Net
Payments. For purposes of this Section 4.4, the term “Requirements of Law”
includes FATCA.

 

(a)          Any
and all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall
be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes; provided that if the applicable
Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then
(i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings as are reasonably determined by the applicable
Withholding Agent to be required by any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the
full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time allowed and in accordance with applicable
Requirements of Law, and (iii) to the extent withholding or deduction is required to be made on account of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower or such Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions
and withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section 4.4) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case
may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Without duplication,
after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section
4.4, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the
case may be, a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by
laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
as the case may be.

 

    	 	48	 

     

    

 

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

 

(c)          The
Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender within 15 Business Days
after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable
to amounts payable under this Section 4.4), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, provided,
however, the right to indemnification shall be subject to such notice requirements of Section 2.12. A certificate
setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower
by a Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)          Each
Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable
to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes
and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure
to comply with the provisions of Section 12.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case,
that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts
at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from
any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

 

(e)          Each
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and such other reasonably
requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or
not any payments made hereunder or under any other Credit Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of
withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable
Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Credit Party pursuant to any Credit Document or otherwise to
establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. In addition, any Lender, if requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether
or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set
forth in Section 4.4(f)(i), 4.4(g) or 4.4(i) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s or Agent’s, as applicable,
reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or Agent to any material unreimbursed cost
or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or Agent.

 

    	 	49	 

     

    

 

(f)           Without
limiting the generality of Section 4.4(e), each Non-U.S. Lender with respect to any Loan made to the Borrower shall, to
the extent it is legally eligible to do so:

 

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

 

(ii)         deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification (or any applicable successor
form) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of
any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and
from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

 

Any Non-U.S. Lender that
becomes legally ineligible to update any form or certification previously delivered shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent in writing of such Non-U.S. Lender’s inability to do so.

 

Each Person that shall
become a Participant or a Lender pursuant to Section 12.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required
to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 4.4(f); provided that in the case of a
Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Person from which the related participation
shall have been purchased.

 

In addition, each Agent
shall deliver to the Borrower prior to the date on which the Agent becomes an Agent hereunder, two copies of a properly completed
and executed (a) Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying its exemption from U.S. Federal backup withholding or (b) (i) Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf) and (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8IMY (for all other payments), certifying on Part I and Part VI of such Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY that it is a U.S.
branch that has agreed to be treated as a U.S. person for United States federal withholding tax purposes with respect to payments
received by it from the Borrower. Each Agent shall deliver to the Borrower additional documentation on or before the date that
any such previously delivered documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of any event requiring
a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrower, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably
requested by the Borrower, or shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines it is no longer in a position to provide
the certifications described in the preceding sentence.

 

    	 	50	 

     

    

 

(g)          If
any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that it had received
a refund of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax for which a payment has been made by the Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to this
Agreement or any other Credit Document, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by the Borrower or any Guarantor, then the Lender, the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower or such Guarantor for such amount
(net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may
be, and without interest other than any interest received thereon from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund) as the Lender, Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion will
leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification
and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional
amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid; provided that the Borrower or such Guarantor, upon the request of
the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or such Guarantor
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender, the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent in the event the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. In such event, such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case
may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence
of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that such Lender, the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may delete any information therein that it deems confidential). No Lender nor the
Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be obliged to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating
to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party in connection with this clause (g) or any other provision of
this Section 4.4.

 

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

 

(i)           If
a payment made to any Lender or any Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding
tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or such Agent 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 or such Agent shall deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)
of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary
for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has
or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold
from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.4(i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to
FATCA after the date of this Agreement. The Lender and the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent additional
documentation on or before the date that any such previously delivered documentation under this Section 4.4(i) expires or
becomes obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered
by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent.

 

    	 	51	 

     

    

 

(j)          The
agreements in this Section 4.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.

 

Section 4.5           Computations
of Interest and Fees.

 

(a)          Interest
on LIBOR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest on ABR Loans in respect
of which the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of the “prime rate” (as used in clause (b) of the definition
of “ABR”) and interest on overdue interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 (or 366, as the case may be) day
year for the actual days elapsed.

 

(b)          Fees
shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.

 

Section 4.6           Limit
on Rate of Interest.

 

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

 

(b)          Payment
at Highest Lawful Rate. If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a
result of Section 4.6(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable
laws, rules and regulations.

 

(c)          Adjustment
if Any Payment Exceeds Highest Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate
the Borrower or any other Credit Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated
at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable Requirement of Law, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate
shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as
would not be so prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing
the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.6.

 

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

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS

 

In order to induce the
Lenders to enter into this Agreement, to make the Loans as provided for herein, the Borrower makes, on the date of each Borrowing,
the following representations and warranties to, and agreements with, the Lenders, all of which shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans:

 

Section 7.1           Corporate
Status. Each Credit Party is a duly organized and validly existing corporation or other
entity in good standing (or, if applicable in a foreign jurisdiction, enjoys the equivalent status under the laws of such jurisdiction
of organization outside the United States) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has the corporate or other
organizational power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact its business as now conducted and (b) has duly
qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing (if applicable) in all jurisdictions where it is required to

Section 7.2           Corporate
Power and Authority; Enforceability. Each Credit Party has the corporate or other organizational
power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and
has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Credit
Documents to which it is a party. Each Credit Party has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party
and each such Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party enforceable in accordance
with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding
in equity or law).

 

Section 7.3           No
Violation. None of the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of the Credit
Documents to which it is a party or the compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will (a) contravene any Requirement of
Law except to the extent such contravention would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) result

Agent or officers and designated representatives of the Majority Lenders (as accompanied by the Administrative Agent), to visit
and inspect any of the properties or assets of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in whomsoever’s possession to the
extent that it is within such party’s control to permit such inspection (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such inspection to be permitted to the extent that it is not within such party’s control to permit such inspection),
and to examine the financial records of the Borrower and any such Restricted Subsidiary and discuss the affairs, finances, accounts
and condition of the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary with its and their officers and independent accountants therefor,
in each case of the foregoing upon reasonable advance notice to the Borrower, all at such reasonable times and intervals during
normal business hours and to such reasonable extent as the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders may desire (and subject,
in the case of any such meetings or advice from such independent accountants, to such accountants’ customary policies and
procedures); provided that, excluding any such visits and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default (i)
only the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Majority Lenders may exercise rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders

or other matter (i) that constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which

believes (in the good faith judgment of management of the Borrower) is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of
its business) and against at least such risks (and with such risk retentions) as the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment
of management of the Borrower) is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business; and will furnish to the

Documents, all at the expense of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if the Collateral Agent and the Borrower reasonably determine in writing that the cost of creating

Information.

 

(a)          The
Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, from time to time thereafter at the request of the Administrative Agent, deliver
to the Administrative Agent title information in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent with respect
to that portion of the Oil and Gas Properties set forth in the most recent Reserve Report provided to the Administrative Agent
as the Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to verify the title of the Credit Parties to not less
than (i) 90% of the Present Value of the Credit Parties’ total Proved Reserves included in the most recently delivered Reserve
Report, and (ii) 90% of the net acres of the Credit Parties’ Oil and Gas Properties.

 

(b)          If
the Borrower has provided title information for additional Oil and Gas Properties under Section 8.15(a), the Borrower shall,
within sixty (60) days of notice from the Administrative Agent that title defects or exceptions to title exist with respect to
such additional Oil and Gas Properties (other than Liens permitted by Section 9.2), either (i) cure any such title defects
or exceptions to title (including defects or exceptions as to priority) which are not permitted by Section 9.2 raised by
such information, (ii) substitute Collateral acceptable to the Administrative Agent which constitutes Oil and Gas Properties with
no title defects or exceptions to title except for Permitted Liens having an equivalent or greater value or (iii) deliver title
information in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent so that the Administrative Agent shall have received,

(i) 90% of the Present Value of the Credit Parties’ total Proved Reserves included in the most recently delivered Reserve
Report, and (ii) 90% of the net acres of the Credit Parties’ Oil and Gas Properties. If the Borrower fails to cure any title
defect requested by the Administrative Agent to be cured within the 60-day period, such failure shall not be a Default or an Event
of Default, but instead the Administrative Agent and/or the Majority Lenders shall have the right to exercise the following remedy
in their sole discretion from time to time, and any failure to so exercise this remedy at any time shall not be a waiver as to
future exercise of the remedy by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. To the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reasonably
satisfied with title to any Oil and Gas Properties after the 60-day period has elapsed, such unacceptable Oil and Gas Properties
shall not count towards either of the 90% requirements provided in this Section 8.15(b), and any calculation of the Asset
Coverage Ratio shall exclude such unacceptable Oil and Gas Properties. 

 

Section 8.16         Change
in Business. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will not

Lien Waiver. The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary and each Affiliate
of the Borrower that is an operator of any Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, within
thirty days following the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request therefor, execute and deliver an operator’s lien
waiver agreement in substantially similar form as was delivered on the Closing Date by the applicable Restricted Subsidiaries or
Affiliates on such date.

all other purposes under the Credit Documents. “Cure Amount” shall mean an amount which, if added to EBITDAX for the
Test Period in respect of which the Leverage Ratio is being measured, would cause the Leverage Ratio for such Test Period to be
no greater than 5.00:1.00 and shall not be any more than the amount so required (it being understood and agreed that for the purposes
of calculating such amount, no effect shall be given to any prepayment of Loans with the proceeds of such Specified Equity Contribution
or to any other reduction of Funded Debt or Interest Expense on account of the receipt of the proceeds of such Specified Equity
Contribution).

Then, and in any such event,
and at any time thereafter, if any Event of Default shall then be continuing, the Administrative Agent may and, upon the written
request of the Majority Lenders, shall, by written notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, without prejudice
to the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to enforce its claims against the Borrower or any other Credit Party, except
as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement (provided that, if an Event of Default specified in Section 10.5
shall occur with respect to the Borrower, the result that would occur upon the giving of written notice by the Administrative Agent
as specified in clauses (a) and (b) below shall occur automatically without the giving of any such notice): (a) declare the Total
Commitment terminated, whereupon the Commitment of each Lender shall forthwith terminate immediately and any fees theretofore accrued
shall forthwith become due and payable without any other notice of any kind; and/or (b) declare the principal of and any accrued
interest and fees in respect of any or all Loans and any or all Obligations owing hereunder and thereunder to be, whereupon the
same shall become, forthwith due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby waived by the Borrower. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders will have all other rights and remedies available at law and equity.

 

    	 	84	 

     

    

 

Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if, prior to the Maturity Date, the Loans are accelerated or otherwise become
due, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency
event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law) (a “Yield Maintenance Event”)), the Repayment
Fee and Make-Whole Amount that would have applied if, at the time of such acceleration, the Borrower had (i) paid, refinanced,
substituted or replaced any or all of the Loans as contemplated in Sections 2.5, 4.1 and/or 4.2 will also
be due and payable as though a Yield Maintenance Event had occurred and the Repayment Fee and Make-Whole Amount shall constitute
part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement
of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of the Lenders’ lost profits as a result thereof. Any Repayment Fee and Make-Whole
Amount payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by the Lenders as the result of payment or acceleration,
as applicable, prior to the Maturity Date and the Borrower and Guarantors agree that the Repayment Fee and Make-Whole Amount are
reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Repayment Fee and Make-Whole Amount shall also be payable in the event
the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed
in lieu of foreclosure or by any other similar means. THE BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT
MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE
FOREGOING REPAYMENT FEE AND MAKE-WHOLE AMOUNT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower and each Guarantor expressly
agrees (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Repayment Fee and Make-Whole Amount are reasonable and
are the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the
Repayment Fee and Make-Whole Amount shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made;
(C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower and Guarantors giving specific consideration in this
transaction for such agreement to pay the Repayment Fee and Make-Whole Amount; and (D) the Borrower and each Guarantor shall each
be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Borrower and each Guarantor expressly
acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Repayment Fee and Make-Whole Amount to the Lenders as herein described is a material
inducement to the Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Loans. In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason
of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor with the intention of avoiding
payment of the Repayment Fee and Make-Whole Amount that the Borrower would have had to pay if the Borrower then had elected to
pay the Loans prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 4.1 and/or 4.2, an equivalent premium, without duplication,
will become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Loans.

 

Section 10.12         Application
of Proceeds. Any amount received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from
any Credit Party (or from proceeds of any Collateral) following any acceleration of the Obligations under this Agreement or any
Event of Default with respect to the Borrower under Section 10.5 shall be applied:

 

First, to payment
of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, disbursements and
other charges of counsel payable under Section 11.7 and amounts payable under Article II) payable to the Administrative
Agent and/or Collateral Agent in such Person’s capacity as such;

 

Second, to payment
of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable
to the Lenders (including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Section 11.7) arising under the
Credit Documents and amounts payable under Article II, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described
in this clause Second payable to them;

 

Third, to payment
of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, ratably among the Lenders in proportion
to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

 

Fourth, to payment
of that portion of (a) the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and (b) Obligations then owing under Secured
Hedge Agreements, ratably among the Lenders and the Hedge Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
Fourth held by them;

 

    	 	85	 

     

    

 

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

 

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

XI

THE AGENTS

 

Section 11.1         Appointment.

 

(a)          Each
Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents and irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf
under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are
expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article XI (other than Section 11.1(c)
with respect to the Lead Arranger and Section 11.9 with respect to the Borrower) are solely for the benefit of the Agents
and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as third party beneficiary of any such provision. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those
expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities,
duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the
Administrative Agent.

 

(b)          The
Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Collateral Agent as the agent with respect to
the Collateral, and each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, in such capacity,
to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers
and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth

be entitled to all benefits of this Article XI.

 

Section 11.2         Delegation
of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may each execute any of their
duties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents by or through agents, sub-agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact (each,
a “Subagent”) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties; provided,
however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to
the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted
by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent. Neither
the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any Subagents selected
by it in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

 

    	 	86	 

     

    

 

Section 11.3         Exculpatory
Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct,
as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein)
or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or any participant for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties
made by any of the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document
or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or, except with respect to any physical certificate or instrument
representing Pledged Debt Securities or Pledged Stock (in each case, as defined in the Security Agreement) in the possession of
the Agent, the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Security Documents
or for any failure of the Borrower or any other Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall
be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained
in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit
Party or any Affiliate thereof. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Administrative Agent, any Lender
to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement
or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

 

Section 11.4         Reliance
by Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely,
and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy,
telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or instruction believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to
the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. The Administrative
Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for
all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under
this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as
it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense
that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents in accordance with a request of the Majority Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent
and Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose
it to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable Requirements of Law. For purposes of determining compliance
with the conditions specified in Article V and Article VI on the Closing Date, each Lender that has signed this Agreement
shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder
to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

 

    	 	87	 

     

    

 

Section 11.5         Notice
of Default. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed
to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent, as applicable, has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default
or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent
receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take
such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders; provided
that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not
be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall
deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken
only with the approval of the Majority Lenders or each individual lender, as applicable.

 

Section 11.6         Non-Reliance
on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges
that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, shall be deemed
to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents
to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal
of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower
and each other Credit Party and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender,
and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation
as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness
of the Borrower and any other Credit Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished
to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any
duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations,
properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other Credit Party that may come into the
possession of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
or Affiliates.

 

    	 	88	 

     

    

 

Section 11.7         Indemnification.
The Lenders severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, each in its capacity as such
(to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably
according to their respective portions of the Commitments or Loans, as applicable, outstanding in effect on the date on which
indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and
the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Commitments or Loans in effect
immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the
payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated
by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable
to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Administrative Agent’s or the
Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of
the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Credit Documents) shall be
deemed to constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 11.7. In the case of
any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following
the payment of the Loans), this Section 11.7 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought
by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in respect of rights or responsibilities
under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such
Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders
shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. If any indemnity furnished to
any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional
indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided,
in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty,
action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof; and provided
further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation,
loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 11.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.

 

Section 11.8         Agents
in Its Individual Capacities. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept
deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and any other Credit Party as though such Agent were
not an Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were
not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

 

    	 	89	 

     

    

 

Section 11.9         Successor
Agents. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may at any time give notice
of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or removal, as the case may
be, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
so long as no Default under Section 10.1 or 10.5 is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank or
debt investment fund with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank or fund with an office in the United
States. If, in the case of a resignation of a retiring Agent, no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders
and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor
has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective at the end of such 30 day period. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s
appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, and upon the execution and filing
or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or
desirable, or as the Majority Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be
granted by the Security Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 11.9).
The fees payable by the Borrower (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to such Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation
hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article XI (including Section 11.7) and Section
12.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its Subagents and their respective Related Parties in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent.

 

Section 11.10       Withholding
Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent
may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service
or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold
tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered,
was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered
the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the
extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any applicable Credit Party and without limiting the obligation
of any applicable Credit Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax
or otherwise, including penalties, additions to Tax and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses,
allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply
any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due to
the Administrative Agent under this Section 11.10.

 

Section 11.11       Security
Documents and Collateral Agent under Security Documents and Guarantee. Each Secured Party
hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured
Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents.
Subject to Section 12.1, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent
or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may (a) execute any documents or instruments necessary in connection with a Disposition of
assets permitted by this Agreement, (b) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such Disposition
of assets or with respect to which Majority Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section
12.1) have otherwise consented or (c) release any applicable Guarantor from the Guarantee in connection with such Disposition
or with respect to which Majority Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 12.1)
have otherwise consented. The Lenders (including in their capacities as potential Hedge Banks) irrevocably agree that (x) the Collateral
Agent may, without any further consent of any Lender, enter into or amend any intercreditor agreement with the collateral agent
or other representatives of the holders of Indebtedness that is permitted to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is permitted
under this Agreement, (y) the Collateral Agent may rely exclusively on a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower as
to whether any such other Liens are permitted and (z) any such intercreditor agreement referred to in clause (x) above,
entered into by the Collateral Agent, shall be binding on the Secured Parties. Furthermore, the Lenders (including in their capacities
as potential Hedge Banks) hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to subordinate any Lien on any property
granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such
property that is permitted by clause (j) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and Section 9.2(c), Section
9.2(d) (with respect to Liens securing Indebtedness permitted under Section 9.1), and Section 9.2(e), or otherwise
permitted to be senior to the Liens of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent on such property; provided that prior to
any such request, the Borrower shall have in each case delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer
of the Borrower certifying that such subordination is permitted under this Agreement.

Section 11.12       Right
to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. The Borrower, the Agents and each Secured
Party hereby agree that (a) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce
the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative
Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security
Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any
of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser
or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative
of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Majority Lenders
shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase
price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit
on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

 

Section 11.13      Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding, constituting an Event
of Default under Section 10.5, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be
due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have
made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a)          to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other
Indebtedness that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel, to the extent due under Section 12.5)
allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

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

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make
such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, to the extent due under Section 12.5.

 

    	 	91	 

     

    

 

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

Section 12.1         Amendments,
Waivers and Releases.

 

(a)          Except
as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither this Agreement or any other Credit Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof,
may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.1. The Majority Lenders
may, or, with the written consent of the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall, from time
to time, (i) enter into with the relevant Credit Party or Credit Parties written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto
and to the other Credit Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or changing
in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Credit Parties hereunder or thereunder or otherwise modifying this Agreement
and such other Credit Documents or (ii) waive in writing, on such terms and conditions as the Majority Lenders or the Administrative
Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or
the other Credit Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that each
such waiver and each such amendment, supplement or modification shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given; provided, further, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification
shall (A) forgive or reduce any portion, or extend the date for any scheduled payment or maturity, of the principal of any Loan
or reduce the stated rate (it being understood that only the consent of the Majority Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation
of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or amend Section 2.6(e)), or forgive any portion, or extend the date
for the payment, of any interest or fee payable hereunder (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default
increase in interest rates), or extend the final expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment (provided that (1) any
Lender, upon the request of the Borrower, may extend the final expiration date of its Commitment without the consent of any other
Lender, including the Majority Lenders and (2) it is being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants,
Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender) or increase the amount of the Commitment
of any Lender (provided that, any Lender, upon the request of the Borrower, may increase the amount of its Commitment without
the consent of any other Lender, including the Majority Lenders), or make any Loan, interest, fee or other amount payable in any
currency other than Dollars, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or
(B) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 12.1 in a manner that would reduce the voting rights of any Lender,
or reduce the percentages specified in the definitions of the term “Majority Lenders” (it being understood that, with
the consent of the Majority Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination
of the Majority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date), consent
to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document to which it is a party (except
as permitted pursuant to Section 9.3), in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected
thereby, or (C) amend, modify or waive the provisions of Section 10.12 or any analogous provision of any Security Document,
in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent
of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (D) amend, modify or waive any pro rata borrowing or pro rata
sharing of payments requirement contained in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely
affected thereby, (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article XI without the written consent of the then-current
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable, or any other former or current Agent to whom Article XI then applies
in a manner that directly and adversely affects such Person, or (F) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors under the
Guarantee (except as expressly permitted by the Guarantee or this Agreement) without the prior written consent of each Lender,
or (G) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents (except as expressly permitted by the Security
Documents or this Agreement) without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (H) amend Section 2.8 so as to permit
Interest Period intervals greater than six months without regard to agreement of all Lenders, without the written consent of each
Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (I) affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to,
any Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of such Agent. Any such waiver and
any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon the
Borrower, such Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower,
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; it being understood that
no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In connection
with the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligations to, with the concurrence of any Lender,
execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender whose consent is required hereunder. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether
the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

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

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Majority Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit or debt facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions
of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the
benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Loans and the Commitments and the accrued interest and fees
in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit or debt facilities in any determination of
the Majority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Credit Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent (i) if such modifications are not adverse to the Lenders in any material respect or (ii) to the extent
necessary (A) to integrate any Incremental Loans contemplated by Section 2.13, or (B) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect
or inconsistency so long as, in each case with respect to this clause (B), the Lenders shall have received at least five
Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days
of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that the Majority Lenders object
to such amendment.

Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the
part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under
the other Credit Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by Requirements of Law.

Section 12.5         Payment
of Expenses; Indemnification. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Agents
for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and execution

indemnify, and hold harmless each Lender and Agent from, any and all recording and filing fees and (d) to pay, indemnify, and

including reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel for all such Persons, taken as
a whole, and, if necessary, by a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such Persons, taken as
a whole (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest in which case each such Person may, with the consent of the
Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), retain its own counsel), with respect to (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement,
performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents and (ii) any Loan or
the use of the proceeds therefrom, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the violation of, noncompliance

any trustee or advisor)) or to any actual or alleged presence, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials involving
or attributable to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Oil and Gas Properties (all the foregoing in this clause
(d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation
hereunder to any Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Related Parties with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the
extent that such Indemnified Liabilities have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the party
to be indemnified or any of its Related Parties as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction,
(ii) any material breach of any Credit Document by the party to be indemnified or (iii) disputes, claims, demands, actions, judgments

from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other
information transmission systems (including IntraLinks or SyndTrak Online) in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent
that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the party to be indemnified or any
of its Related Parties (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), nor (except
solely as a result of the indemnification obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries set forth above) shall any such
Person, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages
(including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) relating to this Agreement or any other
Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date).

relating thereto setting forth such expense in reasonable detail, accompanied, if requested by the Borrower, by reasonable supporting
documentation. The agreements in this Section 12.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
This Section 12.5 shall not apply with respect to any Taxes, other than Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever resulting from a non-Tax claim, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 4.4 and, to the extent set forth
therein, Section 2.9.

Section 12.6         Successors
and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

 

(a)          The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) except as expressly permitted by Section 9.3, the Borrower may not assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent
and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii)
no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 12.6.
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in Section 12.6(c)) and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders
and each other Person entitled to indemnification under Section 12.5) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)          (1)
Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees
(other than the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, any natural person, any Ineligible Institution or any Defaulting Lender) all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing
to it) with the prior written consent of:

 

(A)         the
Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment if an Event of Default under Section
10.1 or Section 10.5 has occurred and is continuing or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender
or an Approved Fund; and

 

(B)         the
Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

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

 

(A)         except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to
the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided
that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 10.1 or Section 10.5
has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by
Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements
stated above;

 

(B)         each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement;

 

(C)         the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a
processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion,
elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; and

 

(D)         the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and applicable
Tax forms (including those described in Sections 4.4(e), (f), (h) and (i), as applicable, and all other
documents and information requested by the Administrative Agent under its “know your customer” policies and procedures,
including the Patriot Act.

 

    	 	96	 

     

    

 

(iii)        Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 12.6(b)(iv), from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Acceptance (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be the date of recordation in the Register), the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9, 2.10, 4.4 and 12.5).
Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section
12.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations
in accordance with Section 12.6(c).

 

(iv)        The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s
Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest amounts) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant
to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, the Register shall contain the name and address
of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders
shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes
of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the
Collateral Agent and, solely with respect to itself, each other Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior written notice.

 

(v)         Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s
completed Administrative Questionnaire and all documents and information requested by the Administrative Agent under its “know
your customer” policies and procedures, including the Patriot Act (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder),
the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 12.6(b) (unless waived) and any written consent to such assignment
required by Section 12.6(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information
contained therein in the Register.

 

(c)          (i)
Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities other than any Defaulting Lender, any Ineligible Institution (to the extent that the identity of such Ineligible Institution
has been made available to all Lenders), the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower (each, a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments
and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells
such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that such agreement or
instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification
or waiver described in clause (i) or (ii) of the second proviso of the second sentence of Section 12.1(a)
that affects such Participant, provided that the Participant shall have no right to consent to any modification to the percentages
specified in the definitions of the term “Majority Lenders”. Subject to Section 12.6(c)(ii), the Borrower agrees
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9, 2.10 and 4.4 (subject to the limitations
and requirements of those Sections and Sections 2.11 and 12.6) as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to Section 12.6(b)). To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.8(b) as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 12.8(a) as though it were a Lender.

(i)          A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10, 2.11 or 4.4 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale
of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or to the extent such entitlement
to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation;
provided that the Participant shall be subject to the provisions in Section 2.11 as if it were an assignee under
Sections 12.6(a) and (b). Each Lender that sells a participation (or provides to an SPV the right to provide all
or part of a Loan pursuant to Section 12.6(g)) hereof shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the
Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant (or SPV) and the principal amounts (and
related interest amounts) of each Participant’s (or SPV’s) interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement
(the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error,
and each party hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation
for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose
all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant (or SPV) or any information
relating to a Participant’s (and each SPV’s) interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations
under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter
of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

 

(d)          Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in
all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment
to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 12.6
shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a
security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such
Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment or for any other reason, the Borrower hereby agrees
that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after the Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder,
the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of
Exhibit F evidencing the Loans owing to such Lender.

 

(e)          Subject
to Section 12.16, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or
assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s
possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and
its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates
in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

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

 

(g)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding
vehicle (a “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise
be obligated to make the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment
by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part
of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an
SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting
Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this
Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby
agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after
the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against,
or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Section 12.6, any SPV may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender
or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support
to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public
information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit
or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This Section 12.6(g) may not be amended without the written consent of the SPV. 

 

(h)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement in respect of its Loans to the Borrower on a non-pro rata basis, subject to the following limitations:

 

(i)          no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, or would immediately result therefrom;

 

(ii)         with
respect to all repurchases made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 12.6(h), the Borrower shall not be required to
make any representation that it is not in possession of any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries or their respective securities that has not been disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (other than
any Lender that has decline dot receive such material non-public information) that may be material to a Lender’s decision
to participate in such repurchase as long as the Borrower shall, prior to such repurchase, identify itself as such; and

 

(iii)        following
repurchase by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 12.6(h), the Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any
Person, be deemed immediately canceled and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by the Borrower) for all purposes of this
Agreement and all other Credit Documents. In connection with any Loans repurchased and canceled pursuant to this Section 12.6(h),
the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation.

Section 12.7         Replacements
of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

 

(a)          The
Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.9
or 4.4 (other than Section 4.4(b)), (ii) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.9(a)(iii) and as
a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken or (iii) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with
a replacement bank, lending institution or other financial institution; provided that (A) such replacement does not conflict
with any Requirement of Law, (B) no Event of Default under Section 10.1 or 10.5 shall have occurred and be continuing
at the time of such replacement, (C) the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and the Borrower shall
pay all other amounts (other than any disputed amounts), pursuant to Section 2.9 or 4.4, as the case may be) owing
to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (D) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and
the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (E) the replaced Lender
shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.6(b) (provided that the
Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (F) any such replacement shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the
replaced Lender.

 

(b)          If
any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) (x) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver,
discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1 requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all of
the Lenders affected thereby and with respect to which the Majority Lenders shall have granted their consent, then, provided no
Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace
such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or
more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that: (i) all Obligations of the Borrower owing
to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced (other than principal and interest) shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender
concurrently with such assignment, and (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting
Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any Repayment Fee and
Duration Fee then applicable thereto. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting
Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 12.6.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, each party hereto agrees that any assignment pursuant to the terms of this Section 12.6
may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and
that the Lender making such assignment need not be a party thereto.

Section 12.8         Adjustments;
Set-off.

 

(a)          If
any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment in respect of any principal of or interest
on all or part of the Loans made by it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by
set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 10.5, or otherwise), in a greater proportion
than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender entitled thereto, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s
Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase for
cash at face value from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or
shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause
such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably in accordance with the aggregate
principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided, however, that,
(A) if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase
shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (B)
the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment made by the Borrower or any other Credit Party
pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or (2) any payment obtained by a
Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Commitments to any assignee or
participant. Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Requirements
of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Credit Party
rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such
Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

 

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

by facsimile or other electronic transmission, i.e. a “pdf” or a “tif”), and all of said counterparts
taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the
parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

Section 12.10       Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition

(a)          The
Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Credit Parties on any Collateral shall be
automatically released (i) in full, as set forth in clause (b) below, (ii) upon the Disposition of such Collateral (including
as part of or in connection with any other Disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Credit Party, to the
extent such Disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively
on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii)
to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Credit Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease,
(iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other percentage
of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 12.1), (v) to the extent the property constituting
such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee in accordance
with the second succeeding sentence) and (vi) as required by the Collateral Agent to effect any Disposition of Collateral in connection

(b)          Notwithstanding

any Credit Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be any (A) Hedging Obligations in respect of any Secured
Hedge Agreements, and (B) any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due. Any such release of Obligations shall be
deemed subject to the provision that such Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in
respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment
of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial
part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

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

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

 

Section 12.20       Reinstatement.
This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof,
of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured
Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any substantial part
of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

 

Section 12.21       Disposition

unto and in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders of all of the Borrower’s or each Guarantor’s
interest in and to their as-extracted collateral in the form of production and all proceeds attributable thereto which may be produced

Security Documents, until the occurrence of an Event of Default, (i) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will
neither notify the purchaser or purchasers of such production nor take any other action to cause such proceeds to be remitted to
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, but the Lenders will instead permit such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
and (ii) the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds
to be paid to the Borrower and/or such Subsidiaries.

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

Section
12.26       Effect of Amendment and Restatement. On the Closing Date,

given in renewal, extension, rearrangement and increase, and not in extinguishment of the obligations under the Existing

obligations and liabilities under the Existing Credit Agreement or evidence repayment of any such obligations and
liabilities. All Liens, deeds of trust, mortgages, assignments and security interests securing the Existing Credit Agreement

security for the Obligations. None of the Liens and security interests created pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement
are released. Additionally, the substantive rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by this Agreement,
rather than the Existing Credit Agreement. Without limitation of any of the foregoing, (a) this Agreement shall not in any
way release or impair the rights, duties, Obligations (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) or Liens (as defined in
the Existing Credit Agreement) created pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement or any of the other Existing Loan Documents
or affect the relative priorities thereof, in each case to the extent in force and effect thereunder as of the Closing Date
and except as modified hereby or by documents, instruments and agreements executed and delivered in connection herewith, and
all of such rights, duties, Obligations and Liens are assumed, ratified and affirmed by the Borrower and each of the
Guarantors; (b) all indemnification obligations of the Borrower and each of the Guarantors under the Existing Credit
Agreement and the other Existing Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall continue
in full force and effect for the benefit of the Lenders (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and any other Person
indemnified under the Existing Credit Agreement or any of the other Existing Loan Documents at any time prior to the Closing
Date; (c) the Obligations incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement shall, to the extent outstanding on the Closing Date,
continue outstanding under this Agreement and shall not be deemed to be paid, released, discharged or otherwise satisfied by
the execution of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall not constitute a refinancing, substitution or novation of such
Indebtedness or any of the other rights, duties and obligations of the parties hereunder; (d) any and all references to the
Existing Credit Agreement in any of the Existing Loan Documents shall, without further action of the parties, be deemed a
reference to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by this Agreement, and as this Agreement shall be further
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, and any and all references to the
“Security Documents” or “Loan Documents” (each as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) in any
such Security Documents or such other Loan Documents shall be deemed a reference to the Security Documents or Loan Documents
under the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by this Agreement, and as this Agreement shall be further
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time; and (e) the Liens granted pursuant to the Existing
Loan Documents and Security Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) to which each of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary is a party shall continue without any diminution thereof and shall remain in full force and effect on and after
the Closing Date.

 

ARTICLE
XIII

GUARANTEE

 

Section 13.1         Guarantee
of Payment. Each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the punctual payment of all Obligations now or which may in the future be owing by
any Credit Party (the “Guaranteed Liabilities”). This Guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection
only. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to exhaust any right or remedy or take any action against the Borrower or any
other Person or any collateral. The Guaranteed Liabilities include interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of any jurisdiction at the rate or rates provided in the Credit Documents. Each Guarantor
agrees that, as between the Guarantor and the Collateral Agent, the Guaranteed Liabilities may be declared to be due and payable
for the purposes of this Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition which may prevent, delay or vitiate
any declaration as regards the Borrower or any other Guarantor and that in the event of a declaration or attempted declaration,
the Guaranteed Liabilities shall immediately become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee.

 

    	 	107	 

     

    

 

Section 13.2         Guarantee
Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Liabilities shall be paid strictly
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is absolute and unconditional irrespective
of: (a) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Credit Documents or
the Guaranteed Liabilities, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any of the terms of any Credit
Document or Guaranteed Liability, including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon; (b) any release or amendment
or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty or support document, or any exchange, release or non-perfection
of any collateral, for all or any of the Credit Documents or Guaranteed Liabilities; (c) any present or future law, regulation
or order of any jurisdiction (whether of right or in fact) or of any agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend, restructure or
otherwise affect any term of any Credit Document or Guaranteed Liability; (d) without being limited by the foregoing, any lack
of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or Guaranteed Liability; and (e) any other setoff, defense or counterclaim
whatsoever (in any case, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) with respect to the Credit Documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby which might constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of, the Borrower or a Guarantor
(other than the defense of payment or performance).

 

Section 13.3         Reinstatement.
This Guarantee is a continuing guaranty of the payment of all Guaranteed Liabilities now or hereafter existing under this Agreement,
and shall remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full.

 

Section 13.4         Subrogation.
No Guarantor shall exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation, by any payment made under this Guarantee or
otherwise, until Payment in Full. If any amount is paid to the Guarantor on account of subrogation rights under this Guarantee
at any time prior to Payment in Full, the amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall be promptly
paid to the Collateral Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured or absolute
or contingent, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Following Payment in Full, if any Guarantor makes payment to any
Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Liabilities, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall, at such Guarantor’s
request, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty,
necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Liabilities resulting from
the payment.

 

Section 13.5         Subordination.
Without limiting the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties under any other agreement, any liabilities owed by
the Borrower to any Guarantor in connection with any extension of credit or financial accommodation by any Guarantor to or for
the account of the Borrower, including but not limited to interest accruing at the agreed contract rate after the commencement
of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, are hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Liabilities, and such liabilities of the Borrower
to such Guarantor, if the Collateral Agent so requests after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of
Default, shall be collected, enforced and received by any Guarantor as trustee for the Collateral Agent and shall be paid over
to the Collateral Agent on account of the Guaranteed Liabilities but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability
of the Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guarantee.

 

Section 13.6         Payments
Generally. All payments by the Guarantors shall be made in the manner, at the place and
in the currency (the “Payment Currency”) required by the Credit Documents; provided, however, that if the Payment
Currency is other than Dollars any Guarantor may, at its option (or, if for any reason whatsoever any Guarantor is unable to effect
payments in the foregoing manner, such Guarantor shall be obligated to) pay to the Collateral Agent at its principal office the
equivalent amount in Dollars computed at the selling rate of the Collateral Agent or a selling rate chosen by the Collateral Agent,
most recently in effect on or prior to the date the Guaranteed Liability becomes due, for cable transfers of the Payment Currency
to the place where the Guaranteed Liability is payable. In any case in which any Guarantor makes or is obligated to make payment
in Dollars, the Guarantor shall hold the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from any loss incurred by the Collateral
Agent and any Secured Party arising from any change in the value of Dollars in relation to the Payment Currency between the date
the Guaranteed Liability becomes due and the date the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party is actually able, following the conversion
of the Dollars paid by such Guarantor into the Payment Currency and remittance of such Payment Currency to the place where such
Guaranteed Liability is payable, to apply such Payment Currency to such Guaranteed Liability.

 

    	 	108	 

     

    

 

Section 13.7         Setoff.
Each Guarantor agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim
the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may otherwise have, the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party shall be entitled, at
its option, to offset balances (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by it for the account of any Guarantor
at any office of the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any amount payable by
such Guarantor under this Guarantee which is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Guarantor),
in which case it shall promptly notify such Guarantor thereof; provided that the failure of the Collateral Agent or such Secured
Party to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.

 

Section 13.8         Formalities.
Each Guarantor waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceptance of this Guarantee or incurrence of any Guaranteed
Liability and any other formality with respect to any of the Guaranteed Liabilities or this Guarantee.

 

Section 13.9         Limitations
on Guarantee. The provisions of the Guarantee under this Article XIII are severable,
and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guarantee would otherwise
be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability under
this Guarantee, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall,
without any further action by the Guarantors, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, be automatically limited and reduced to
the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder
being the relevant Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 13.9, with respect to the Maximum
Liability of the Guarantors, is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder
to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right
or claim under this Section 13.9 with respect to the Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that none of the
obligations of any Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law.

 

Section 13.10        Survival.
The agreements and other provisions in this Article XIII shall survive, and remain in full force and effect regardless of,
the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent or the replacement of any Lender.

instruments or Commercial Tort Claims pledged pursuant to this Agreement shall not impair the security interest of Agent therein
or otherwise adversely affect the rights and remedies of Agent hereunder with respect thereto.

Securities to Agent, and without limiting the foregoing, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, consents to the transfer of such
Pledged Securities to Agent or its nominee following an Event of Default and to the substitution of Agent or its nominee as a partner
in any partnership or as a member in any limited liability company with all the rights and powers related thereto.

 

Section 9.17.       Intercreditor
Agreement. Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2018, between RIVERSTONE
CREDIT MANAGEMENT LLC, as Priority Lien Agent (as defined therein), and WILMINGTON TRUST, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Second Lien
Agent (as defined therein) (the “Intercreditor Agreement”). Each holder of any Second Lien Obligations, by its
acceptance of such Second Lien Obligations (i) consents to the subordination of Liens provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement,
(ii) agrees that it will be bound by, and will take no actions contrary to, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (iii)
authorizes and instructs the Second Lien Agent on behalf of each Second Lien Secured Party (as defined therein) to enter into the
Intercreditor Agreement as Second Lien Agent on behalf of such Second Lien Secured Parties. The foregoing provisions are intended
as an inducement to the lenders under the Priority Credit Agreement to extend credit to Lilis and such lenders are intended third
party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision contained
herein, this Agreement, the Liens created hereby and the rights, remedies, duties and obligations provided for herein are subject
in all respects to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and, to the extent provided therein, the applicable Security Documents
(as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement). In the event of a conflict or any inconsistency between the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement and the Security Documents, the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement shall prevail.

 

Section 9.18.       
Concerning Agent.

 

(a)          The
actions of the Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions, and entitled to the benefits and protections, set forth in the Credit
Agreement. The Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any
rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including the release or substitution of the Collateral), in accordance with
this Agreement and the Credit Agreement.

 

(b)          The
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message
believed by it to be genuine and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder.

 

(c)          The
Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority
or enforceability of any security interest or Lien granted under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

(d)          Neither
the Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any other Secured Party or any Grantor
for any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the Security Documents except to the extent caused
by the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction.

FORM
OF PROMISSORY NOTE

 

__________, ___

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the
undersigned, a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to [_____] or its registered assigns
(the “Lender”), in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the principal amount
of each Loan from time to time made by the Lender to the Borrower under that certain Amended and Restated Senior Secured Term Loan
Credit Agreement, dated as of January 30, 2018 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise
modified in writing from time to time, the “Agreement,”), among the Borrower, the Guarantors from time to time
party thereto, the Lenders party thereto from time to time and Riverstone Credit Management LLC, as Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent. Capitalized terms used in this promissory note (this “Note”) but not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

 

The Borrower promises to
pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the date of such Loan until such principal amount is paid in full,
at such interest rates and at such times as provided in the Agreement. All payments of principal and interest shall be made to
the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lender in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Administrative
Agent’s Office. If any amount is not paid in full when due hereunder, such unpaid amount shall bear interest, to be paid
upon demand, from the due date thereof until the date of actual payment (and before as well as after judgment) computed at the
per annum rate set forth in Section 2.7(c) of the Agreement. This Note is subject to mandatory prepayments and to voluntary prepayments
and to all other terms and conditions as provided in the Agreement.

 

This Note is one of the
promissory notes referred to in the Agreement and is entitled to the benefits thereof. This Note is also entitled to the benefits
of the other Credit Documents and is secured by the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and continuation of one or more of the Events
of Default specified in the Agreement, all amounts then remaining unpaid on this Note shall become, or may be declared to be, immediately
due and payable all as provided in the Agreement. Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by an account or accounts maintained
by the Lender and by the Register and subaccounts maintained by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Agreement. The
Lender may also attach schedules to this Note and record thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect
thereto.

 

The Borrower, for itself,
its successors and assigns, hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest and demand and notice of protest, demand, dishonor and
non-payment of this Note.

 

    	 	F-1	 

     

    

No failure to exercise
and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the
Credit Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
A waiver by the Administrative Agent of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any Credit Document on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Administrative Agent would otherwise have on any future
occasion. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and
are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this
Note is executed as of the date set forth above.

FORM OF INTERCOMPANY NOTE

 

New York, New York

[   ], 2018

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each
of the undersigned, to the extent a borrower from time to time from any other entity listed on the signature page hereto (each,
in such capacity, a “Payor”), hereby promises to pay on demand to such other entity listed below (each, in such capacity,
a “Payee”) or its registered assigns, in lawful money of the United States of America, or in such other currency as
agreed to by such Payor and such Payee, in immediately available funds, at such location as a Payee shall from time to time designate,
the unpaid principal amount of all loans and advances (including trade payables) made by such Payee to such Payor. Each Payor promises
also to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of all such loans and advances in like money at said location from the date
of such loans and advances until paid at such rate per annum as shall be agreed upon from time to time by such Payor and such Payee.

 

Capitalized terms used
in this intercompany promissory note (this “Note”) but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
given to them in the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Term Loan Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of January 30, 2018
(as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”)
among Lilis Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors from time to time party thereto,
the Lenders from time to time party thereto and Riverstone Credit Management LLC, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

 

This Note shall be pledged
by each Payee that is a Credit Party to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the Security
Agreement as collateral security for the full and prompt payment when due of, and the performance of, such Payee’s Obligations.
Each Payee hereby acknowledges and agrees that after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default under
and as defined in the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent may, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided pursuant
to the Security Agreement and otherwise available to it, exercise all rights of the Credit Party Payees with respect to this Note.

 

Anything in this Note to
the contrary notwithstanding, the indebtedness evidenced by this Note owed by any Payor which is a Credit Party to any Payee which
is not a Credit Party shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth,
to all Obligations of such Payor (such Obligations and other indebtedness and obligations in connection with any renewal, refunding,
restructuring or refinancing thereof, including interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any proceedings referred to
in clause (i) below, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding, being hereinafter collectively referred
to as “Senior Indebtedness”):

 

    	 	G-1	 

     

    

(i)            In
the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings
in connection therewith, relative to any Payor which is a Credit Party or to its creditors as such, or to its property, and in
the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of such Payor (except as expressly permitted
by the Credit Agreement), whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, then (x) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall
be irrevocably paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness (other than Hedging Obligations
under Secured Hedge Agreements or contingent indemnification obligations) before any Payee which is not a Credit Party is entitled
to receive (whether directly or indirectly), or make any demands for, any payment on account of this Note and (y) until the holders
of Senior Indebtedness are irrevocably paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness (other than
Hedging Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements or contingent indemnification obligations), any payment or distribution to which
such Payee would otherwise be entitled (other than debt securities of such Payor that are subordinated, to at least the same extent
as this Note, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness then outstanding (such securities being hereinafter referred to as “Restructured
Debt Securities”)) shall be made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness;

 

(ii)           if
any Event of Default (as under and defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs and is continuing, then no payment or distribution of
any kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of any Payor which is a Credit Party to any Payee which is not a Credit Party
with respect to this Note;

 

(iii)          if
any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than Restructured Debt Securities),
in respect of this Note shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any Payee which is not a Credit Party in
violation of clause (i) or (ii) before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been irrevocably paid in full in cash (other than Hedging
Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements or contingent indemnification obligations), such payment or distribution shall be held
in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered in accordance with the Security Documents; and

 

(iv)          each
Payee which is a Credit Party agrees to file all claims against each relevant Payor in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which
the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Senior Indebtedness, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all
of such Payee’s rights thereunder. If for any reason a Payee which is a Credit Party fails to file such claim at least ten
Business Days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, such Payee hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral
Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such
Payee’s name to file such claim or, in such Collateral Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause proof
of claim to be filed in the name of such Collateral Agent or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy
or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Collateral Agent the full amount payable on the
claim in the proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Payee which is a Credit Party hereby assigns
to the Collateral Agent all of such Payee’s rights to any payments or distributions to which such Payor otherwise would be
entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than such Payee’s liability hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall pay the excess
amount to the party entitled thereto. In addition, each Payee which is a Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral
Agent as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all of such Payee’s voting rights in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding
or any plan for the reorganization of each relevant Payor.

 

    	 	G-2	 

     

    

To the fullest extent permitted
by law, no present or future holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce the subordination of this
Note by any act or failure to act on the part of any Payor or by any act or failure to act on the part of such holder or any trustee
or agent for such holder. Each Payee and each Payor hereby agree that the subordination of this Note is for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties are obligees under this Note
to the same extent as if their names were written herein as such and the Collateral Agent may, on behalf of itself, and the Secured
Parties, proceed to enforce the subordination provisions herein.

 

The subordination terms
contained in this Note shall terminate upon Payment in Full (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

 

Nothing contained in the
subordination provisions set forth above is intended to or will impair, as between each Payor and each Payee, the obligations of
such Payor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to such Payee the principal of and interest on this Note as and when due
and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or will affect the relative rights of such Payee and other creditors
of such Payor other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

 

Each Payee is hereby authorized
to record all loans and advances made by it to any Payor (all of which shall be evidenced by this Note), and all repayments or
prepayments thereof, in its books and records, such books and records constituting prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the
information contained therein.

 

Each Payor hereby waives
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note. All payments under this Note shall be made without
offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

 

This Note shall be binding
upon each Payor and its successors and assigns, and the terms and provisions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of each Payee
and their respective successors and assigns, including subsequent holders hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, in any other Credit Document or in any other promissory note or other instrument, this Note replaces and supersedes any
and all promissory notes or other instruments which create or evidence any loans or advances made on, before or after the date
hereof by any Payee to any other Subsidiary.

 

From time to time after
the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become parties hereto (as Payor and/or Payee, as the case may be)
by executing a counterpart signature page to this Note (each additional Subsidiary, an “Additional Party”). Upon delivery
of such counterpart signature page to the Payees, notice of which is hereby waived by the other Payors, each Additional Party shall
be a Payor and/or a Payee, as the case may be, and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Party were an original
signatory hereof. Each Payor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the
addition or release of any other Payor or Payee hereunder. This Note shall be fully effective as to any Payor or Payee that is
or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Payor or Payee hereunder.
