Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any Other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Secured Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving such other Loan Party.
(ii)The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Term Loan Agent (on behalf of each Secured Party), hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent incurrence of a debt for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

(v)any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
(vi)any failure of any Lender to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Lender (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Lenders to disclose such information);

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Lender or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

binding contract are funded within 90 days after the date such contract is executed); provided that such Net Cash Proceeds shall (A) only be permitted to be so invested (and not, therefore, used to prepay the Loans) to the extent that the Borrower Representative shall have delivered written notice to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Day prior to the date a prepayment of the Loans would otherwise be required with such Net Cash Proceeds, which notice shall include the amount of Net Cash Proceeds intended to be so invested and the intended use of proceeds therefor, in such detail and with such supporting information as is requested by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, and (B) be deposited into, or credited to, an account held at Beal Bank USA and subject to the Beal Fully Blocked DACA (provided, that, upon the delivery by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent of receipts or other evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such amounts have been reinvested or applied as set forth herein, the Administrative Agent agrees to consent to the Borrowers’ withdraw of such amounts from such deposit account).  In the event any amount of such Net Cash Proceeds are not reinvested by Borrowers prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) the end of such 180-day (or 270-day, if applicable) period and (ii) the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall promptly apply such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(b)(iii).  
vii.The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any prepayment required pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) (other than Section 2.04(b)(i) or Section 2.04(b)(ii)) five (5) Business Days prior to the date of any required prepayment of the principal amount of Loans to be prepaid in connection therewith.  All prepayments under this Section 2.04(b) shall be made together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, together with all other Obligations then due and payable (including, if applicable, the Exit Fee).  To the extent any prepayment is required under Section 2.04(b)(ii), the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof in the applicable Excess Cash and Distributable Cash Certificate delivered for such Fiscal Quarter pursuant to Section 5.03(j).
(9)Lender’s Option to Decline Prepayment. Except as provided in the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.04(c), any Lender, at its option, may elect to accept or decline all or any portion of any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to clauses (ii) through (v) of Section 2.04(b). Promptly after the date of the Administrative Agent receives a notice in in accordance with Section 2.04(b)(vii) (or Section 5.03(j), as applicable) with respect to a prepayment required pursuant to clauses (ii) through (v) of Section 2.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall provide written notice to the Lenders of the amount available to prepay the Loans. Any Lender that wishes to decline such prepayment (a “Declining Lender”) shall give written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. New York City time no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such notice from the Administrative Agent (the “Initial Prepayment Acceptance Date”); any Lender that does not give such notice during such period shall be deemed to have accepted such prepayment. On the Initial Prepayment Acceptance Date, the Administrative Agent shall then provide written notice (the “Second Offer”) to the Lenders (other than any Declining Lender) (the “Accepting Lenders”) of the additional amount available

(due to such Declining Lenders’ declining such prepayment) to prepay the Loans owing to such Accepting Lenders. Any Lender declining prepayment pursuant to such Second Offer shall give written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. New York City time no later than one (1) Business Day after the date of such notice of a Second Offer; any Lender that does not give such notice during such period shall be deemed to have accepted such prepayment offer. Amounts allocated to Accepting Lenders in accordance with the Initial Prepayment Acceptance Date and the Second Offer shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.04(b).  Notwithstanding the above, if Lenders owed or holding more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding at such time accept or are deemed to have accepted all or any portion of any prepayment offer pursuant to this Section 2.04(c), then all Lenders shall be deemed to have accepted such prepayment offer to the same.  In the event any such proceeds are declined (such proceeds, “Declined Mandatory Prepayment Proceeds”), such Declined Mandatory Prepayment Proceeds shall be permitted to be used by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries in a manner permitted by the Loan Documents.  As used herein, “Declined Mandatory Excess Cash Prepayment Proceeds” means any Declined Mandatory Prepayment Proceeds in respect of any prepayment that was required under Section 2.04(b)(ii).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, solely with respect to the Cash Flow Payment Date in respect of the Fiscal Quarter ending December 31, 2020, (i) if, as of such Cash Flow Payment Date, the Borrowers would be required to prepay Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(ii), the amount of such required prepayment shall be reduced by the lesser of (x) $35,000,000 and (y) the total amount of such required prepayment prior to giving effect to such reduction, and (ii) any such reduction in the amount of such required prepayment shall be deemed not to be Declined Mandatory Excess Cash Prepayment Proceeds for all purposes hereunder.
Section h..Interest

xi.to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, 
in each case, payable in Cash upon the earlier of (x) each Interest Payment Date following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and (y) demand therefor. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.05(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement of the Borrowers to pay Default Interest shall not constitute an exercise of remedies by any Agent or Lender.
Section i..Fees
.
(12)Fees Payable to Agent. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agents the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.  
(13)Exit Fee. Upon (x) repayment of the Term A Loans as a result of any Repayment Event, (y) any acceleration of the unpaid principal balance of the Term A Loans (whether by election or automatically) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01, or (z) the Maturity Date (each, an “Exit Fee Event”), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Term Loan A Lenders, an Exit Fee in an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, of (i) (A) if such Exit Fee Event occurs on or prior to December 31, 2021, [***] percent ([***]%) or (B) if such Exit Fee Event occurs after December 31, 2021, [***] percent ([***]%), in either case, of the aggregate principal amount of the Term A Loans funded on the Effective Date or any other time (including any Incremental Term Loans) minus (ii) the sum of (A) the amount of the Structuring Fee (as defined in the Fee Letter) paid pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and (B) an amount equal to the amount of interest paid on the Term A Loans comprised of the Applicable Margin through and including the date of such Exit Fee Event.  EACH BORROWER AND 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 EXIT FEE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION.  Each Borrower and Guarantor expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so) that:  (A) the Exit Fee is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) THE EXIT FEE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE, AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED OR CONSIDERED TO BE, UNMATURED INTEREST ON ANY LOAN OR OTHER AMOUNT AND NO BORROWER OR GUARANTOR SHALL ARGUE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE THAT THE EXIT FEE CONSTITUTES UNMATURED INTEREST ON ANY LOAN; (C) the Exit Fee shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (D) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrowers and Guarantors giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Exit

Fee; (E) each Borrower and Guarantor shall each be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph; and (F) in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages the parties mutually agree that the Exit Fee is a reasonable calculation of the Lenders’ lost profits as a result of any such prepayments or acceleration. 
Section j..Increased Costs, Etc.
  If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender or the Administrative Agent of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Loans (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.07, any such increased costs resulting from (x) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.09 shall govern) and (y) changes in the basis or rate of taxation of overall net income by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent is organized or has its Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or for its own account within 10 calendar days after receipt of an invoice from such Lender or the Administrative Agent additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower Representative by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(14)If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans and other commitments of such type (or similar Guaranteed Debts), then, upon demand by such Lender or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender within 10 calendar days after receipt of an invoice from such Lender from such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender determines in its reasonable discretion such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower Representative by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section k..Payments and Computations
. 
(1)The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10), not later than 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in

Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
(2)Each Loan Party hereby authorizes each Lender and each of its Affiliates, if and to the extent any payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, to charge from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against any or all of such Loan Party’s accounts with such Lender or such Affiliate any amount so due.
(3)All computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a 360-day year (including the first day of determination, but excluding the last). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(4)Whenever any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day.
(5)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrowers shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount

is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Benchmark Rate.
(6)If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Loans to which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, if no instructions with respect thereto are received from the Lenders upon request, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender, for application to such principal repayment installments thereof, as the Administrative Agent shall direct.
Section l..Taxes

If any Withholding Agent shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender or any Agent, (i) the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Withholding Agent has made all required withholdings and deductions (including withholdings and deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.09) such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (ii) such Withholding Agent shall make all such withholding or deductions in accordance with applicable law and (iii) such Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(3)Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.07(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Taxes other than Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any 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.

(4)Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.09, the appropriate Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion.

(5)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative 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 paragraphs (f)(i)(A), (i)(B) and (i)(D) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment, in its sole and absolute discretion, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
xii.Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a United States person,
c.any Lender that is a United States person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

f.if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(6)Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.09 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any change in the jurisdiction of its Lending Office. 
(7)If a Lender determines, in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Section 2.09(c), or with respect to which additional amounts have been paid pursuant to Section 2.09(a), such Lender shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but such amount in no event to exceed the amount of any indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.09 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund) net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of such Lender, shall agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender in the event such Lender subsequently determines that such refund is unavailable under

applicable law or is otherwise required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require a Lender to rearrange its tax affairs or to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
(8)Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.09 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

The Loan Parties agree that any Lender so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest

The obligation of such initial Term Loan B Lender is personal to such initial Term Loan B Lender, may not be assigned by the initial Term Loan B Lender, and shall survive any assignment of Loans hereunder by such initial Term Loan B Lender.

(12)Any Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be subject ‎to the following additional conditions:‎
xiii.each such Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall not be less than $5,000,000 (and increments of ‎‎$1,000,000 above that minimum) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, and no ‎such increase shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans would exceed $100,000,000;‎

xviii.the increase shall be on the exact same terms and pursuant to the ‎exact same documentation applicable to this Agreement (other than with respect to any ‎arrangement, structuring, upfront or other fees or discounts payable in connection with such ‎Incremental Term Loan Commitment); and

(13)Each Increasing Lender or Additional Lender shall execute and deliver to ‎the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent customary documentation (any ‎such documentation, an “Incremental Agreement”) implementing any Incremental Term Loan Commitment.  ‎Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of one or more executed Incremental Agreements from any Increasing Lender or Additional Lender ‎as provided in this Section 2.14, (i) the Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become effective on the effective date set forth in such Incremental Agreements in the amount indicated in such Incremental Agreements without further action by the Borrowers, the ‎Administrative Agent or any Lender, (ii) Schedule I and the Register shall ‎each be amended to add such Incremental Term Loan Commitment, and the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders shall be ‎adjusted accordingly to reflect the Incremental Term Loan Commitment, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall distribute to the Borrower Representative, the ‎Administrative Agent and each Lender the revised Schedule I, and (iv) any ‎such Additional Lender shall be deemed to be a party in all respects to this Agreement and any ‎other Loan Documents to which the Lenders are a party.
Section b..The Borrowers as Co-Borrowers.
(1)All Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several Obligations of each Borrower.  Each Borrower (i) agrees to fully and promptly perform all of its obligations hereunder with respect to each advance of credit hereunder as if such advance had been made directly to it; and (ii) agrees as a primary obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, on demand, for and against any loss incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any of the obligations of any Borrower (the “Subject Borrower”) under the Loan Documents being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective for any reason whatsoever, whether or not known to the Subject Borrower or any other Person, the amount of such loss being the amount which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (or any of them) would otherwise have been entitled to recover from the Borrowers.
(2)It is the intent of each Borrower that the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities hereunder of no one of them be subject to challenge on any basis related to any federal or state law dealing with fraudulent conveyances or any other law related to transfers for less than fair or reasonably equivalent value. Accordingly, as of the date hereof and after giving effect to the other provisions of this subsection, the liability of each Borrower under this Section 2.15 together with all of its other liabilities to all Persons as of the date hereof and as of any other date on which a transfer is deemed to occur by virtue of this Agreement, calculated in amounts sufficient to pay its probable net liabilities on its existing indebtedness as the same become absolute and matured (“Dated Liabilities”), is and is to be less than the amount of the aggregate

of a fair valuation of its Property as of such corresponding date (“Dated Assets”). To this end, each Borrower under this Section 2.15(b): (i) grants to and recognizes in the other Borrowers rights of subrogation and contribution in the amount, if any, by which the Dated Assets of such Borrower, but for the aggregate of subrogation and contribution in its favor recognized herein, would exceed the Dated Liabilities of such Borrower and (ii) acknowledges receipt of and recognizes its right to subrogation and contribution ratably from the other Borrowers in the amount, if any, by which the Dated Liabilities of such Borrower, but for the aggregate of subrogation and contribution in its favor recognized herein, would exceed the Dated Assets of such Borrower under this Section  2.15(b). In recognizing the value of the Dated Assets and the Dated Liabilities, it is understood that each Borrower will recognize, to at least the same extent of their aggregate recognition of liabilities hereunder, their rights to subrogation and contribution hereunder. It is a material objective of this Section 2.15 that each Borrower recognizes rights to subrogation and contribution rather than be deemed to be insolvent (or in contemplation thereof) by reason of an arbitrary interpretation of its joint and several obligations hereunder.
(3)Representative of the Borrowers.  Each Borrower hereby appoints GOM Operations as Borrower Representative for the purpose of  making any Notice of Borrowing or request required under this Agreement,  the giving and receipt of notices by and to the Borrowers under this Agreement,  the delivery of all documents, reports, financial statements and written materials required to be delivered by the Borrowers or any Borrower under this Agreement, and (iv) all other purposes incidental to any of the foregoing.

(4)Allocation of Loans.  All Loans shall be made to the Loan Proceeds Account of GOM Operations.
(5)Obligations Absolute.  Each Borrower hereby waives, for the benefit of the Lenders:  any right to require any Lender, as a condition of payment or performance by such Borrower, to  proceed against any other Borrower, any guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person,  proceed against or exhaust any security held from any other Borrower, any guarantor or any other Person,  proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account, Securities Account, or any other credit on the books of any Lender in favor of any other Borrower or any other Person, or  pursue any other remedy in the power of any Lender whatsoever;  any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any other Borrower or any Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any other Borrower or any Guarantor from any cause other than Payment in Full of all Obligations;  any defense based upon any statute or rule of law that provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal;  any defense based upon any Lender’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations, except behavior that amounts to willful misconduct as determined by a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction;   any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, that are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or

equitable discharge of such Borrower’s obligations hereunder,  the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof,  any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and  promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto;  notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or under any Secured Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Borrowers and notices of any amendments to the Loan Documents and any right to consent to any thereof; and  any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law that limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or that may conflict with the terms hereof.

penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrowers under Section 8.04, to the extent that such Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Each Agent is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all amounts it receives pursuant to the Loan Documents to or for the credit or the account of any Lender against any and all obligations of such Lender to such Agent now or hereafter existing under this Section 7.05; provided that the foregoing sentence shall only apply if such Lender fails to promptly pay such obligation following such Agent’s written request for payment; provided further that any obligation a Lender fails to promptly pay following the Agent’s written request for payment shall bear interest at the same rate as Default Interest and the Agent is authorized to set off against any such accrued interest in the manner described above.
(126)For purposes of Section 7.05(a), (i) each Lender’s ratable share of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding at such time and owing to such Lender. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Agent for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 7.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of the Borrower Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.

If within forty-five (45) days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 7.06 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such forty-fifth (45th) day (a) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (b) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (c) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

If any of the Collateral constituting unproven acreage shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries  in a transaction in compliance with this Agreement, or otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders, then the Term Loan Collateral Agent, at the request and sole cost and expense of the Borrowers (in addition to any Collateral release fees provided for in the Fee Letter), shall promptly discharge and release all Liens and security interests created in such Collateral under any Loan Document, including by executing and delivering instruments of satisfaction, release and discharge in respect of such Collateral as are reasonably necessary or advisable and reassigning, delivering and/or transferring any such Collateral to the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary.
