      ARTICLE 2

      BACKSTOP COMMITMENT

      

      

      Section  2.01   [Reserved].

      

      

      
        16

        
          

      

      Section  2.02   The Backstop Commitment. Subject to Section 2.06 and to the terms and conditions hereof, including entry of the BCA Approval Order and BCA Consummation Approval Order
        by the Bankruptcy Court, each Backstop Party hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase its Backstop Commitment Percentage of New Common Stock in an amount equal to $189.8 million in the aggregate at the Per Share Price (the “Backstop Commitment”).

      

      

      Section  2.03   Backstop Party Default. (a)  Upon the occurrence of a Backstop Party Default, the Backstop Parties (other than any Defaulting Backstop Party)
        shall have the right, but shall not be obligated to, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Company to all Backstop Parties of such Backstop Party Default (which notice shall be given promptly following the
        occurrence of such Backstop Party Default) (such five (5) Business Day period, the “Backstop Party Replacement Period”) to make arrangements for one or more of the Backstop Parties (other than the
        Defaulting Backstop Party) to purchase all or any portion of the New Common Stock (such purchase, a “Backstop Party Replacement”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement
        and in such amounts based upon the applicable Backstop Commitment Percentage of any such Backstop Parties or as may otherwise be agreed upon by all of the Backstop Parties electing to purchase all or any portion of the New Common Stock (such
        Backstop Parties, the “Replacing Backstop Parties”). Any such New Common Stock purchased by a Replacing Backstop Party shall be included in the determination of the fees earned under Section 3.01. If a
        Backstop Party Default occurs, the Outside Date shall be delayed only to the extent necessary to allow for the Backstop Party Replacement to be completed within the Backstop Party Replacement Period. If a Backstop Party is or becomes a Defaulting
        Backstop Party, it shall not be entitled to the Backstop Fee.

      

      

      (b)          Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
          require a Backstop Party to purchase more than its Backstop Commitment Percentage.

      

      

      (c)          For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding
          anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.02 but subject to Section 10.10, no provision of this Agreement shall relieve any Defaulting Backstop Party from liability hereunder in connection with such Defaulting Backstop Party’s Backstop
          Party Default. Such Defaulting Backstop Party will be liable to the non-defaulting Parties for money damages and/or specific performance as set forth in Section 10.09.

      

      

      Section  2.04   Backstop Escrow Account Funding. (a)  Funding Notice. At least twelve (12) Business Days before the
        Funding Deadline (as defined below), the Company shall deliver to each Backstop Party, or cause the Rights Offering Subscription Agent to deliver to each Backstop Party, a written notice (the “Funding Notice”)
        of (i) the number of shares of New Common Stock to be purchased by the Backstop Parties hereunder and the aggregate Purchase Price therefor (the “Funding Amount”); (ii) wire instructions for a
        segregated escrow account to which such Backstop Party shall deliver the Funding Amount (the “Backstop Escrow Account”); and (iii) an estimate of the deadline for delivery of the Funding Amount, which
        deadline shall be no earlier than five (5) Business Days before the expected Effective Date (the “Funding Deadline”). The Company and the Rights Offering Subscription Agent shall promptly provide any
        written backup, information and documentation relating to the information contained in the Funding Notice as any Backstop Party may reasonably request.

      

      

      
        17

        
          

      

      (b)          Backstop
            Escrow Account Funding. No later than the Funding Deadline, each Backstop Party shall deliver and pay its Funding Amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars into the Backstop Escrow Account in satisfaction of
          such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment. The Backstop Escrow Account shall be established with an escrow agent reasonably acceptable to the Backstop Parties and the Company pursuant to an escrow agreement (the “Escrow

              Agreement”) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Backstop Parties and the Company. The funds held in the Backstop Escrow Account shall be released, and each Backstop Party shall receive from the Backstop
          Escrow Account the cash amount actually funded to the Backstop Escrow Account by such Backstop Party promptly following (i) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and (ii) the Outside Date if, by such date, the Closing
          Date has not occurred.

      

      

      Section  2.05   Closing. (a)  Subject to Article 7, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the Company and the Required Backstop Parties, the
        closing of the Backstop Commitments (the “Closing”) shall take place via electronic exchange of closing documents and signature pages on date on which all of the conditions set forth in Article 7 shall
        have been satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement (other than conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions). The date on which the Closing actually
        occurs shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

      

      

      (b)          At the Closing, the Company and the Backstop
          Parties shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent authorizing the release of the funds held in the Backstop Escrow Account as set forth and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Section 6.13 and the Plan.

      

      

      (c)          At the Closing, issuance of the New Common
          Stock will be made by the Company to the account of each Backstop Party (or to such other accounts as any Backstop Party may designate in accordance with this Agreement) against payment of the aggregate Purchase Price therefor of such Backstop
          Party. The entry of any New Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) into the account of a Backstop Party (or its designee) pursuant to the Company’s book entry procedures and delivery to such Backstop Party (or its designee)
          of an account statement reflecting the book entry of such New Common Stock shall be deemed delivery of such New Common Stock for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all New Common Stock will be
          delivered with all issue, stamp, transfer, sales and use, or similar transfer Taxes or duties that are due and payable (if any) in connection with such delivery duly paid by the Company.

      

      

      Section  2.06   Designation and Assignment Rights.

      

      

      (a)          Each Backstop Party shall have the right to designate by written notice to the Company no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date that some or
        all of the New Common Stock that it is obligated to purchase hereunder be issued in the name of, and delivered to, one or more of its Related Funds upon receipt by the Company of payment therefor in accordance with the terms hereof, which notice of
        designation shall (i) be addressed to the Company and signed by such Backstop Party and each Related Fund, (ii) specify the number of shares of New Common Stock to be delivered to or issued in the name of such Related Fund and (iii) contain a
        confirmation by such Related Fund of the accuracy of the representations set forth in Article 5 as applied to such Related Fund; provided that no such designation pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall
        relieve such Backstop Party from its funding obligations under this Agreement.

      

      

      
        18

        
          

      

      (b)          Each Backstop Party shall have the right to
          Transfer all or any portion of its Backstop Commitment to a Related Fund; provided that (i) such Backstop Party and Related Fund agree in a writing addressed to the Company that such Related Fund shall
          purchase such portion of such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment; (ii) each Backstop Party confirms in writing its good faith belief that all of the representations and warranties in Article 5 are accurate with respect to such Related Fund; and
          (iii) such Related Fund executes a joinder agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Joinder Agreement”) and delivers an executed copy thereof to the Company; provided that no such Transfer pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall relieve such Backstop Party from its funding obligations under this Agreement if such Related Fund fails to fund hereunder.

      

      

      (c)          Each Backstop Party shall have the right to
          Transfer to any Person that is not an existing Backstop Party or Related Fund (each of the Persons to whom a Transfer is made, a “New Purchaser”) either (i) all or any portion of its Backstop
          Commitment; provided that (A) such Transfer shall have been consented to by the Required Backstop Parties and the Company (in each case, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned and
          shall be deemed to have been given after two (2) Business Days following notification in writing to the Company of a proposed Transfer by such Backstop Party), and (B) such New Purchaser executes a Joinder Agreement and delivers an executed copy
          thereof to the Company (any Related Fund party as described in Section 2.06(b) and/or New Purchaser as described in this Section 2.06(c)(i) that executes and delivers such Joinder Agreement shall be referred to as a “Permitted Backstop Commitment Transferee”) or (ii) all or any portion of its obligation to fund the purchase of New Common Stock (the “Funding Obligation” and, for the
          avoidance of doubt, which Transfer shall not include the Backstop Commitment) pursuant to documentation that is reasonably satisfactory to both the Backstop Party effecting such Transfer and the Company; provided
          that no Backstop Party effecting a Transfer of the Funding Obligation pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(ii) shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations under this Agreement until such New Purchaser has actually funded all or any
          portion of the Funding Obligation so transferred into the Backstop Escrow Account.

      

      

      (d)          Each Backstop Party, severally and not
          jointly, agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, assign or otherwise Transfer, at any time prior to the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, any of its rights and obligations under this
          Agreement to any Person other than in accordance with Sections 2.03, 2.06(a), 2.06(b), 2.06(c), 7.02, 10.07. After the Closing Date, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict in any way any Backstop Party’s ability to Transfer any of its
          shares of New Common Stock or any interest therein; provided that any such Transfer shall be made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the
          registration requirements thereunder and pursuant to applicable securities Laws.

      

      

      
        19

        
          

      

      ARTICLE 3

      BACKSTOP FEE AND EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT

      

      

      Section  3.01   Fees Payable by the Company. Subject to Section 3.02, as consideration for the Backstop Commitment and the other agreements of the Backstop Parties in this Agreement, the Debtors shall
        pay or cause to be paid a nonrefundable aggregate fee in an amount equal to 6.0% of the Backstop Commitment as in effect on the date of this Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be an amount equal to $11,388,000), calculated in
        accordance with Section 3.02 to the Backstop Parties (including any Replacing Backstop Party, but excluding any Defaulting Backstop Party) or their designees based upon their respective Backstop Commitment Percentages on the date hereof (the “Backstop Fee”).

      

      

      The provisions for the payment of the Backstop Fee and Expense Reimbursement, and the indemnification provided herein are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by
        this Agreement and without these provisions the Backstop Parties would not have entered into this Agreement, and the Backstop Fee and Expense Reimbursement shall constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estates under Sections
        503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Backstop Fee shall be payable in New Common Stock and shall be fully earned upon the execution of this Agreement.

      

      

      Section  3.02   Payment of Fees.

      

      

      (a)          The Backstop Fee shall be fully earned,
          indefeasible, nonrefundable and non-avoidable upon entry of the BCA Approval Order and shall be paid by the Debtors, free and clear of any withholding or deduction for any applicable Taxes, on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, to the
          extent payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Backstop Fee will be payable regardless of the number of shares of New Common Stock (if any) actually purchased, and shall be based on the amount of the Backstop Commitment as in
          effect on the date of this agreement. Payment of the Backstop Fee shall be made as and when due and payable in New Common Stock in accordance with the percentage ownership of the New Common Stock set forth on Annex

              I to the Restructuring Term Sheet.

      

      

      (b)          The Backstop Fee shall, pursuant to the BCA
          Approval Order, constitute an allowed administrative expense of the Debtors’ estates under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code. Except as provided for in Section 2.03, the Backstop Fee shall be nonrefundable and non-avoidable if and
          when paid.

      

      

      Section  3.03   Expense Reimbursement.

      

      

      (a)          Until the earlier to occur of (x) the Closing and (y) the
          termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Debtors agree to pay in accordance with Section 3.03(b): (A) the fees and expenses (including reasonable travel costs and expenses) of Latham & Watkins LLP, PJT Partners, one
          local counsel, financial advisors, and consultants and other professionals for specialized areas of expertise as circumstances warrant retained by the Backstop Parties and any other advisors or consultants as may be reasonably determined by the
          Backstop Parties, in consultation with the Company, in each case that have been and are actually incurred in connection with (x) the negotiation, preparation and implementation of the Transaction Agreements and the other agreements and
          transactions contemplated thereby and (y) the Restructuring Transactions; (B) the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Backstop Parties relating to this Agreement; (C) all filing fees, if any, required by the HSR Act
          or any other Antitrust Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses related thereto; and (D) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred
          in connection with any required regulatory filings in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, filings done on Schedule 13D, Schedule 13G, Form 3 or Form 4, in each case, promulgated under
          the Exchange Act), in each case, that have been paid or are payable by the Backstop Parties (such payment obligations set forth in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) above, collectively, the “Expense Reimbursement”).

          The Expense Reimbursement shall, pursuant to the BCA Approval Order, constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estates under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code.

      

      

      
        20

        
          

      

      (b)          The Expense Reimbursement accrued through the date on which the
          BCA Approval Order is entered shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of the Company’s receipt of invoices therefor (and in no event earlier than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the BCA Approval Order is entered). The Expense
          Reimbursement accrued thereafter shall be payable by the Debtors within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of monthly invoices therefor; provided that the Debtors’ final payment shall be made contemporaneously with the Closing or the
          termination of this Agreement, as applicable, pursuant to Article 9.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Expense Reimbursement shall not be payable by the Debtors in the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
          9.01(f)(i), and the Backstop Parties shall promptly reimburse the Company for all Expense Reimbursement paid by the Company prior to any such termination; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the
          Expense Reimbursement shall still be due and payable to any Backstop Party that shall not have been the cause of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(f)(i).

      

      

      ARTICLE 4

      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

      

      

      Except as set forth in the Disclosure Statement, Company Disclosure Schedule or any Company SEC Document but subject in each case to Section 4.33, the Debtors, jointly and

        Material Entity is duly qualified or licensed and is authorized to do business and is in good standing (or the equivalent thereof) under the Laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns, leases or operates properties or conducts any business,
        in each case except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or licensed or be in good standing would not have or reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

      

      

      
        21

        
          

      

      Section  4.02   Corporate Power and Authority. (a)  The Company has the requisite

          Subsidiaries has assumed or retained by Contract or operation of Law any liabilities of any other Person under Environmental Laws or concerning any Materials of Environmental Concern, where such assumption or acceptance of responsibility would
          reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

      

      

      (g)          None of the transactions contemplated under
          this Agreement will give rise to any obligations to obtain the consent of or provide notice to any Governmental Entity under any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits, except for such consents or notices the failure of which to obtain or
          provide as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

          connection with the Chapter 11 Proceedings, none of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notices from any taxing authority relating to any issue that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
          have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

      

      

      (d)          Except as set forth on Schedule 4.21(d), all

          party have been duly withheld or collected, and have been timely paid to the proper authorities to the extent due and payable.

      

      

      (e)          None of the Company and any of its
          Subsidiaries has been included in any “consolidated,” “unitary” or “combined” Tax Return provided for under any Law with respect to Taxes for any taxable period for which the statute of limitations has not expired (other than a group of which the
          Company and/or its current or past Subsidiaries are or were the only members).

      

      

      (f)          There are no tax sharing, indemnification or
          similar agreements in effect as between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor or Affiliate thereof and any other party (including any predecessors or Affiliates thereof) under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a
          party to or otherwise bound by (other than such agreements (i) that are entered in the ordinary course of business or (ii) that are not expected to result in a liability for Taxes that is material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a
          whole).

      

      

      (g)          None of the Company and any of its
          Subsidiaries has been either a “distributing corporation” or a “controlled corporation” in a distribution occurring during the last five years in which the parties to such distribution treated the distribution as one to which Section 355 of the
          Code is applicable.

      

      

      (h)          There is no outstanding audit, assessment,
          dispute or claim concerning any material Tax liability of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) claimed, pending or raised by an authority in writing, the resolution of which would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in
          the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

      

      

      (i)          There are no material Liens with respect to

      Section  4.22   Company Plans. 
        (a)  Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect: (i) each Company Plan (other than a Foreign Benefit Plan) (such plans, “U.S. Benefit Plans”)
        is in compliance with ERISA, the Code, other applicable Laws and its governing documents; (ii) each U.S. Benefit Plan that is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the
        IRS, and, to the Knowledge of the Company, nothing has occurred that is reasonably likely to result in the loss of the qualification of such U.S. Benefit Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code or the imposition of any material liability, penalty or
        tax under ERISA or the Code; (iii) no “reportable event,” within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA has occurred or is expected to occur for any U.S. Benefit Plan covered by Title IV of ERISA other than events as to which the Pension Benefit
        Guaranty Corporation by regulation waived the requirement of Section 4043(a) of ERISA that it be notified within 30 days of the occurrence of such event or as a result of the Chapter 11 Proceedings; (iv) all contributions required to be made under
        the terms of any U.S. Benefit Plan have been timely made or have been (A) reflected in the financial statements of the Company included in the Company SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof or (B) described in the Plan or Disclosure
        Statement; and (v) no liability, claim, action, litigation, audit, examination, investigation or administrative proceeding has been made, commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing with respect to any U.S. Benefit Plan
        (other than (A) routine claims for benefits payable in the ordinary course, (B) otherwise in relation to the Chapter 11 Proceedings or (C) any that, individually, could not reasonably be expected to result in a liability of the Company or any of
        its Subsidiaries in excess of $250,000).

      

      

      (b)          No U.S. Benefit Plan (other than any
          “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA (a “Multiemployer Plan”)) subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has failed to satisfy the minimum funding
          standard, within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, or obtained a waiver of any minimum funding standard and, within the past six (6) years, no U.S. Benefit Plan covered by Title IV of ERISA has been terminated and no
          proceedings have been instituted to terminate or appoint a trustee under Title IV of ERISA to administer any such Company Plan. Within the past six (6) years, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have incurred any unsatisfied liability
          under Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA by reason of being treated as a single employer together with any other Person under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414 of the Code.

      

      

      (c)          Within the past six (6) years, the Company
          and its Subsidiaries have not incurred any withdrawal liability with respect to a Multiemployer Plan under Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA that has not been satisfied in full, and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no condition or circumstance
          exists that presents a reasonable risk of the occurrence of any other withdrawal from or the partition, termination, or insolvency of any such Multiemployer Plan.

      

      

      (d)          No U.S. Benefit Plan provides for
          post-employment or retiree health, life insurance or other welfare benefits, except for (A) death benefits, (B) benefits required by Section 4980B of the Code or similar Law, (C) benefits for which the covered individual pays the full premium
          cost and (D) short term and long term disability benefits.

      

      

      
        31

        
          

      

      (e)          Neither the execution of this Agreement, the
          Plan or the other Transaction Agreements, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will (A) entitle any employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to severance pay or any increase in severance pay upon any
          termination of employment after the date hereof, (B) accelerate the time of payment or vesting or result in any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or result in
          any other material obligation pursuant to, any of the U.S. Benefit Plans, or (C) limit or restrict the right of the Company to merge, amend or terminate any of the U.S. Benefit Plans.

      

      

      (f)          Except as set forth on Schedule 4.22(f), the
          execution, delivery of and performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of its obligations under this Agreement will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) result in “excess parachute payments” within
          the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code or any payments under any other applicable Laws that would be treated in such similar nature to such section of the Code, with respect to any Company Plan that would be in effect immediately after the
          Closing.

      

      

      (g)          Except as required to maintain the
          tax-qualified status of any U.S. Benefit Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, to the Knowledge of the Company, no condition or circumstance exists that would prevent the amendment or termination of any U.S. Benefit Plan
          other than a U.S. Benefit Plan between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and an individual employee or director thereof, on the other hand.

      

      

      Section  4.23   Internal Control Over
          Financial Reporting. The Company has established and maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that complies in all material respects
        with the requirements of the Exchange Act and has been designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. The Company

        Company in the reports that it files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including that information required to be disclosed by the
        Company in the reports that it files and submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management of the Company as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

      (a)          All Material Contracts are valid, binding
          and enforceable by and against the Company or its relevant Subsidiary, except where the failure to be valid, binding or enforceable would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and no
          written notice to terminate, in whole or part, any Material Contract has been delivered to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries except where such termination would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
          Adverse Effect. Other than as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Proceedings, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other party to any Material Contract, is in default or breach under the
          terms thereof. For purposes of this Agreement, “Material Contract” means any Contract necessary for the operation of the Post-Effective Date Business that is a “material contract” (as such term is
          defined in Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K or required to be disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K).

        currently the subject or target of any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department or the U.S. Department of State.

      

      

      Section  4.29   No Broker’s Fees.
        Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any Contract with any Person (other than this Agreement) that would give rise to a valid claim against the Backstop Parties for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in
        connection with the sale of the New Common Stock, the Rights Offering or the sale of the Rights Offering Shares.

          Power and Authority. To the extent applicable, such Backstop Party has the requisite corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company power and authority to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its
        obligations hereunder and has taken all necessary corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company action required for the due authorization, execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement.

      

      

      
        35

        
          

      

      Section  5.03   Execution
          and Delivery. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Backstop Party and constitutes the valid and binding obligations of such Backstop Party, enforceable against such Backstop Party in accordance with its

        a court of equity.

      

      

      Section  5.04   No
          Conflict. Assuming that the consents referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 5.05 are obtained, the execution and delivery by such Backstop Party of this Agreement, the compliance by such Backstop Party with all of the provisions
        hereof and thereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (i) will not conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of, any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under (with or without notice or lapse of
        time, or both), or result in the acceleration of, or the creation of any Lien under, any Contract to which such Backstop Party is a party or by which such Backstop Party is bound or to which any of the properties or assets of such Backstop Party
        are subject, (ii) will not result in any violation of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable constituent documents) of such Backstop Party and (iii) will not result in any material violation of any Law or Order
        applicable to such Backstop Party or any of its properties, except, in each of the cases described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), for any conflict, breach, violation, default, acceleration or Lien which would not reasonably be expected,
        individually or in the aggregate, to materially and adversely impact such Backstop Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

      

      

      Section  5.05   Consents
          and Approvals. No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over such Backstop Party or any of its properties is required for the execution and delivery by

          Registration. Such Backstop Party understands that the shares of New Common Stock issued to such Backstop Party hereunder and in satisfaction of the Backstop Fee have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific

        or otherwise made pursuant hereto.

        respect to, the Company and its Subsidiaries and the advice of its own legal, tax, economic, and other advisors.

        connection with the Rights Offering or the sale of the New Common Stock.

      

      

      Section  5.10   No Legal Proceedings. Other than the Chapter 11 Proceedings and any adversary proceedings or contested motions commenced
        in connection therewith, there are no Legal Proceedings pending or threatened to which such Backstop Party is a party or to which any property of such Backstop Party is the subject that would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the
        aggregate, prohibit, materially delay or materially and adversely impact such Backstop Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement to which such Backstop Party is a party.

      

      

      Section  5.11   Sufficiency of Funds.  Such Backstop Party has, or such Backstop Party on the Funding Deadline will have, sufficient
        immediately available funds to make and complete the payment of the aggregate purchase price of the New Common Stock required to be purchased by such Backstop Party pursuant to its Backstop Commitment.

          efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the Plan, including (i)
          if applicable, filing, or causing to be filed, the Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice and the

          agree to reasonably cooperate with each other as to the appropriate time of filing such notification and its content. The Company and each Filing Party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: (i) promptly notify each other of, and if in
          writing, furnish each other with copies of (or, in the case of material oral communications, advise each other orally of) any communications from or with an Antitrust Authority; (ii) not participate in any meeting with an Antitrust Authority
          unless it consults with each other Filing Party and the Company, as applicable, in advance and, to the extent permitted by the Antitrust Authority and applicable Law, give each other Filing Party and the Company, as applicable, a reasonable
          opportunity to attend and participate thereat; (iii) furnish each other Filing Party and the Company, as applicable, with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications between such Filing Party or the Company and the Antitrust

          obligation under the Antitrust Laws to jointly notify with one or more other Filing Parties (each, a “Joint Filing Party”) a transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Plan or the other
          Transaction Agreements, such Joint Filing Party shall promptly notify each other Joint Filing Party of, and if in writing, furnish each other Joint Filing Party with copies of (or, in the case of material oral communications, advise each other
          Joint Filing Party orally of) any communications from or with an Antitrust Authority.

      

      

      (d)          The Company and each Filing Party shall use

        Affiliates, (iii) divest any of its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates, or (iv) commit or agree to any of the foregoing. Without the prior written consent of the Required Backstop Parties, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall commit or
        agree to (i) dispose of, license or hold separate any of its assets or (ii) limit its freedom of action with respect to any of its businesses or commit or agree to any of the foregoing, in each case, in order to secure any necessary consent or
        approvals for the transactions contemplated hereby under the Antitrust Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Backstop Parties, nor any of their Affiliates, nor the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be required
        as a result of this Agreement, to initiate any legal action against, or defend any litigation brought by, the United States Department of Justice, the United States Federal Trade Commission, or any other Governmental Entity in order to avoid the
        entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding which would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the transactions contemplated hereby, or
        which may require any undertaking or condition set forth in the preceding sentence.

Neither any waiver by the DIP Lenders or, if applicable, the Exit Facility Lenders, of their right to receive the Financial Reports nor any amendment or termination of the Emergence
        Credit Facilities shall affect the Company’s obligation to deliver the Financial Reports to the Backstop Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

      

      

      (b)          Any report, financial statement, certificate

          Transactions.  The Company shall notify the Backstop Parties promptly (and, in any event, within 48 hours) if any bona fide proposal or offer (whether written or unwritten) for an Alternate
        Transaction (an “Alternate Transaction Proposal”) is received by it or its Subsidiaries or its or its Subsidiaries’ Representatives, indicating, in connection with such notice, the material terms and conditions of any such Alternate Transaction
        Proposal (including, if applicable, copies of any and all written inquiries, requests, proposals or offers, including any draft of proposed agreements received by the Company, also within 48 hours) and, thereafter, the Company shall keep the
        Backstop Parties reasonably informed of the status and terms of any such Alternate Transaction Proposals (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in the Company’s intentions as
        previously notified. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any confidentiality or similar agreement that would prohibit it from providing such information to the Backstop Parties.

      Section  6.07   Reasonable Best Efforts. (a)  Without in any way limiting any
        other respective obligation of the Company or any Backstop Party in this Agreement, the Company shall use (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use), and each Backstop Party shall use, reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all
        actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan, including using reasonable best efforts in:

      

      

      (i)           timely preparing and
          filing all documentation reasonably necessary to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings of such Party and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or
          advisable to be obtained from any third party or Governmental Entity;

      

      

      (ii)          defending any Legal
          Proceedings challenging this Agreement, the Plan or any other Transaction Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any
          Governmental Entity vacated or reversed; and

      

      

      (iii)         working together in
          good faith to finalize the Registration Rights Agreement and New Organizational Documents for timely inclusion in the Plan Supplement and filing with the Bankruptcy Court.

      

      

      (b)          Subject to applicable Laws relating to the
          exchange of information, the Backstop Parties and the Company shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other on all of the information relating to Backstop Parties or the Company, as the
          case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
          the Plan; provided, however, neither the Company nor the Backstop Parties are required to provide for review in advance declarations or other evidence submitted
          in connection with any filing with the Bankruptcy Court. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of the Company and the Backstop Parties shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.

      

      

      (c)          Nothing contained in this Section 6.07 shall
          limit the ability of any Backstop Party to consult with the Debtors, to appear and be heard, or to file objections, concerning any matter arising in the Chapter 11 Proceedings, so long as such appearance or objection is not inconsistent with such
          Backstop Party’s obligations under this Agreement or the RSA.

      

      

      Section  6.08   Equity Listing. Reorganized Legacy Reserves shall be constituted
        as a C-corporation after the Effective Date unless otherwise determined by the Required Backstop Parties, with prior notice to and in consultation with the Debtors. The Required Backstop Parties, with prior notice to and in consultation with the
        Debtors, shall determine the equity listing and reporting status of Reorganized Legacy Reserves upon emergence (including, without limitation, whether Reorganized Legacy Reserves will be listed over-the-counter, listed on a national exchange or
        will emerge as a private company), and the Debtors and Reorganized Legacy Reserves shall use their best efforts to effectuate such determination on the Effective Date or as soon as possible thereafter.  Unless otherwise directed by the Required
        Backstop Parties, the Debtors agree that the Company will remain a public reporting company with the SEC during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Proceedings.

        required under Regulation D of the Securities Act, and the Company shall provide, upon request, a copy thereof to each Backstop Party. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date and assuming that the representations and warranties of the
        Backstop Parties in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify for sale or issuance to the Backstop
        Parties the New Common Stock issued hereunder and any shares of New Common Stock that may be issued in satisfaction of the Backstop Fee as provided herein under applicable securities and “blue sky” Laws of the states of the United States (or to

        reports relating to the offer and sale of the New Common Stock issued hereunder and any shares of New Common Stock that may be issued in satisfaction of the Backstop Fee as provided herein required under applicable securities and “blue sky” Laws of

        that is or will be integrated with the sale of the New Common Stock, the Rights Offering Shares, the Rights Offering and this Agreement in a manner that would require registration of the New Common Stock to be issued by the Company on the Effective
        Date under the Securities Act.

      

      

      Section  6.12   DTC Eligibility. Unless otherwise requested by the Required

        other appropriate records maintained by the Company or agent substantially similar to the following form:

        ANY OTHER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.”

      

      

      The Legend (for restrictive notation) set forth above shall be removed from the records at any time after the restrictions described in such Legend cease to be applicable. The Company may
        reasonably request such opinions, certificates or other evidence that such restrictions no longer apply.

      

      

      Section  6.15   Tax Treatment.
        The Company and each of the Backstop Parties hereby agrees to treat the rights and obligations arising under this Agreement, including the Backstop Fee, for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an option to sell property issued by each Backstop

      INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

      

      

      Section  8.01   Indemnification
          Obligations. The Company and the other Debtors (the “Indemnifying Parties” and each an “Indemnifying Party”) shall, jointly and severally,
        indemnify and hold harmless each Backstop Party, its Affiliates, shareholders, members, partners and other equity holders, general partners, managers and its and their respective Representatives, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and costs and expenses (other than Taxes of the Backstop Parties except to the extent otherwise provided for in this
        Agreement, including the last sentence of Section 2.05(c)) (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Indemnified Person may incur or to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of
        or in connection with this Agreement, the RSA, the Plan and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Backstop Commitments, the Rights Offering, the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the payment of the Backstop Fee or the use of
        the proceeds hereunder, from the Rights Offering, or, subject to Section 8.06, any breach by the Debtors of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or other provision of this Agreement, or any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation
        or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Company, the other Debtors, their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors
        or any other Person, and reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for reasonable and documented (subject to redaction to preserve attorney client and work product privileges) legal or other third-party expenses incurred in connection with
        investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence in or preparing to serve or serving as a witness with respect to, any lawsuit, investigation, claim or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including in connection
        with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth herein), irrespective of whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Plan are consummated or whether or not this Agreement is terminated; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Losses (a) as to a Defaulting Backstop Party and its Related Parties, caused by a Backstop Party Default by such Backstop
        Party, (b) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person, (c) a material breach of the
        representations and warranties made by such Indemnified Person in this Agreement, or (d) a material breach by such Indemnified Person of its obligations under this Agreement.

      

      

      
        47

        
          

      

      Section  8.02   Indemnification

          Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an “Indemnified Claim”), such
        Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that (i) the
        omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and (ii) the omission to so notify the
        Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Article 8. In case any such Indemnified Claims are brought against any Indemnified Person
        and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense
        thereof or participation therein, with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person; provided that if the parties (including any impleaded parties) to any such Indemnified Claims include both
        such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and based on advice of such Indemnified Person’s counsel there are legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying
        Party, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claims. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such
        Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the defense of such Indemnified Claims with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such
        Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (A) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of
        legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Persons who are
        parties to such Indemnified Claims (in addition to any local counsel in each jurisdiction in which local counsel is required as well as in the case of any perceived or actual conflict, appropriate conflict counsel) and all such expenses shall be
        reimbursed as they occur), (B) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Indemnified
        Claims, (C) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed or is failing to defend such claim, and is provided written notice of such failure by the Indemnified Person and such failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of
        such notice, or (D) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have sole control over any
        Tax controversy or Tax audit of the Company or its Subsidiaries and shall be permitted to settle any liability for Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries after due consultation with the Required Backstop Parties.

      

      

      
        48

        
          

      

      Section  8.03   Settlement

          of Indemnified Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If any settlement of any Indemnified
        Claims is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Indemnified Claims, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and
        against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment to the extent such Losses are otherwise subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, the provisions of this
        Article 8. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested the Indemnifying Party to reimburse such Indemnified Person for legal or other expenses in connection with
        investigating, responding to or defending any Indemnified Claims as contemplated by this Article 8, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
        entered into more than sixty (60) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such request for reimbursement and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of
        such settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims in respect of
        which indemnity or contribution has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (A) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person from
        all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnified Claims and (B) such settlement does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

      

      

      Section  8.04   Contribution.
        If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless from Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to
        the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the
        other hand, but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. It is hereby agreed that the relative benefits to the Indemnifying
        Party, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Company pursuant to the issuance and sale of the New Common Stock
        contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan bears to (b) the Backstop Fee paid or proposed to be paid to the Backstop Parties. The Indemnifying Parties also agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability based on their comparative or
        contributory negligence or otherwise to the Indemnifying Parties, any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any of the Indemnifying Parties, or any other Person in connection with an Indemnified Claim.

      

      

      
        49

        
          

      

      Section  8.05   Treatment

          of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by the Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Person under this Article 8 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.
        The provisions of this Article 8 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Backstop Parties would not have entered into this Agreement, and the obligations of the Company under this
        Article 8 shall constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estate under Sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code and are payable without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court, and the Company may comply with the requirements
        of this Article 8 without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

      

      

      Section  8.06   No

          Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing Date except for covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be satisfied after the Closing Date, which
        covenants and agreements shall survive until satisfied in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification and other obligations of the Company pursuant to this Article 8 and the other obligations set forth in Section
        9.02 shall survive the Closing Date until the latest date permitted by applicable Law and, if applicable, be assumed by Reorganized Legacy Reserves and its Subsidiaries.

      Section  9.01   Termination

          Offering or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements; provided that the Company or the Required Backstop Parties (as applicable) shall not be permitted to
          terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) if the Company or the Required Backstop Parties (as applicable) have not complied in all material respects with its or their obligations under Sections 6.04 and 6.07 of this Agreement;

          Parties;

      

      

      (ii)          there shall have been a
          Change of Recommendation;

          Agreement, and such breach or inaccuracy would, individually or in the aggregate, result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.01(k), or Section 7.01(l), if continuing on the Closing Date, being satisfied and such breach or

      Section 9.02   Effect
            of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article 9, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no force or effect and there shall be no further obligations or liabilities on the part of the Debtors or

      (b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
          the Plan (including any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) or the Confirmation Order (and any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) or an affirmative vote to accept the Plan submitted by any Backstop Party, nothing

      Section 
                                  10.06   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the
        same agreement and will become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to each other Party (including via facsimile or other electronic transmission), it being understood that each Party need not sign the
        same counterpart.  Any facsimile or electronic signature shall be treated in all respects as having the same effect as having an original signature.

      

      

      Section 
                                  10.07   Waivers and Amendments; Rights Cumulative. This Agreement may be amended, restated, modified, or changed only by a written
        instrument signed by the Debtors and the Required Backstop Parties (other than a Defaulting Backstop Party); provided that each Backstop Party’s prior written consent shall be required for any amendment
        that would have the effect of: (i) modifying such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage, (ii) increasing the Per Share Price to be paid in respect of the New Common Stock , (iii) changing the terms of or conditions to the payment of the
        Backstop Fee; (iv) changing any termination rights as set forth in Article 9, (v) changing any provision of this Section 10.07, (vi) changing any provision of the definition of “Required Backstop Parties” or (vii) otherwise disproportionately or

        Debtors only by a written instrument executed by the Company and (y) by the Required Backstop Parties only by a written instrument executed by all of the Required Backstop Parties.

      

      

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Backstop Parties may agree, among themselves, to reallocate their Backstop Commitment Percentages,
        without any consent or approval of any other Party; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt any such agreement among the Backstop Parties shall require the
        prior written consent or approval of all Backstop Parties affected by such reallocation. No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver
        on the part of any Party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
        exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
        which any Party otherwise may have at law or in equity.

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

      

      

      Section 
                                  10.10   Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Parties (other than a Defaulting Backstop

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

      

      

      Section 
                                  10.12   Publicity. At all times prior to the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its
        terms, the Company and the Backstop Parties shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases (and provide each other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such release) or otherwise making public announcements with
        respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  No Party shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except to the extent the disclosing Party determines it is required to do so by
        applicable Law, in which case such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other Party (or Parties) before issuing any such release or making any such public statement.

      

      

      Section  10.13   Settlement Discussions. This
        Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are part of a proposed settlement of a dispute between the Parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any applicable state rules
        of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding, except to the extent filed with, or disclosed to, the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Proceedings (other
        than a proceeding to approve or enforce the terms of this Agreement). The Parties agree that any valuations of the Company’s or other Debtor’s assets or estates, whether implied or otherwise, arising from this Agreement shall not be binding for any
        other purpose, including determining recoveries under the Plan, and that this Agreement does not limit the Parties’ rights regarding valuation.

      

      

      
        56

        
          

      

      Section 
                                  10.14   No Recourse.  Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this
        Agreement, and notwithstanding the fact that certain of the Parties may be partnerships or limited liability companies, each Party covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in
        connection with this Agreement shall be had against any Party’s Affiliates or any of the respective Related Parties of such Party or of the Affiliates of such Party (in each case other than the Parties to this Agreement and each of their respective
        successors and permitted assignees under this Agreement), whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal
        liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of such Related Parties, as such, for any obligation or liability of any Party under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith
        for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation; provided, however, nothing in this Section 10.14 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party hereto or any of their
        respective successors or permitted assigns for any breach or violation of its obligations under this Agreement or such other documents or instruments.  For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Parties will have any recourse, be entitled to commence
        any proceeding or make any claim under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby except against any of the Parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns, as applicable.

      

      

      Section 
                                  10.15   Severability.   In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held invalid, illegal
        or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein will not be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended that
        all of the rights and privileges of the parties hereto will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

            BACKSTOP COMMITMENT

           

          Section 2.01     The Rights Offering.
              On and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including entry of the BCA Approval Order, and the BCA Consummation Approval Order by the Bankruptcy Court, the Company shall conduct the Rights Offering pursuant to and in accordance with
              the Rights Offering Procedures, this Agreement and the Plan. Upon request from the Required Backstop Parties from time to time prior to the Rights Offering Expiration Time (and any permitted extensions thereto), the Company shall notify, or
              cause the Rights Offering Subscription Agent to notify, the Backstop Parties of the aggregate number of Subscription Rights known by the Company or the Rights Offering Subscription Agent to have been exercised pursuant to the Rights Offering
              as of the most recent practicable time before such request.

           

          Section 2.02     The Backstop Commitment. (a) Subject to Section 2.02(b) and Section 2.06, on and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including entry of the BCA Approval Order and BCA Consummation Approval Order by the Bankruptcy
              Court, each Backstop Party hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to fully exercise all Subscription Rights that are issued to it pursuant to the Rights Offering and duly purchase all Rights Offering Shares issuable to it pursuant
            to such exercise, in accordance with the Rights Offering Procedures and the Plan; provided that any Defaulting Backstop Party shall be liable to each non-Defaulting Backstop Party, the Company and
            Reorganized Legacy Reserves as a result of any breach of its obligations hereunder. On and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including entry of the Confirmation Order, each Backstop Party agrees, severally and not jointly, to
            purchase, and Reorganized Legacy Reserves shall sell to such Backstop Party, on the Closing Date for the applicable aggregate Per Share Price, the number of Unsubscribed Shares equal to (x) such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage
            multiplied by (y) the aggregate number of Unsubscribed Shares (such obligation to purchase, the “Backstop Commitment”), rounded among the Backstop Parties solely to avoid fractional shares as the
            Required Backstop Parties may determine (provided that in no event shall such rounding reduce the aggregate commitment of any Backstop Party).

          

          

          
            17

            
              

          

          (b)            The Sponsor Backstop Parties shall receive, and shall commit
              to exercise, Subscription Rights for $10,200,000 of Rights Offering Shares in the Rights Offering (the “Sponsor Participation Amount”), which amount shall be reserved for and allocated to the
              Sponsor Backstop Parties and shall not be subject to reduction for any reason for so long as such Sponsor Backstop Parties continue to hold at least the minimum amount of Notes Claims that would otherwise entitle them to receive such number
              of Participation Rights if such rights were allocated to Noteholders on a pro rata basis by Notes Claims; provided that, to the extent that the amount of Notes Claims held by the Sponsor Backstop
              Parties decreases below the minimum amount of Notes Claims that would entitle the Sponsor Backstop Parties to receive the full Sponsor Participation Amount, the Sponsor Participation Amount shall be proportionally reduced by the amount of any
              such decrease. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the maximum aggregate amount that the Plan Sponsor (together with any permitted transferee of the Plan Sponsor’s Backstop Commitment that is a Related Fund) shall be
              permitted to acquire in respect of the Rights Offering Shares and Unsubscribed Shares cumulatively at the Per Share Price shall be an amount equal to the Sponsor Participation Amount. To the extent that the Plan Sponsor (together with any
              permitted transferee of the Plan Sponsor’s Backstop Commitment or other rights or obligations under this Agreement) would otherwise be required to purchase Unsubscribed Shares pursuant to the terms of its Backstop Commitment, then each other
              Backstop Party shall be obligated to purchase pursuant to its Backstop Commitment (at the same Per Share Price), and Reorganized Legacy Reserves shall sell to each such Backstop Party, the number of Unsubscribed Shares equal to (x) the
              Unsubscribed Shares which would have caused the Plan Sponsor (together with any permitted transferee of the Plan Sponsor’s Backstop Commitment or other rights or obligations under this Agreement) to fund in excess of the Sponsor Participation
              Amount in the aggregate multiplied by (y) such Backstop Party’s Reallocation Percentage, rounded among the Backstop Parties solely to avoid fractional shares as the Required Backstop Parties may determine.

           

          Section 2.03     Backstop Party Default. (a) 
            Upon the occurrence of a Backstop Party Default, the Backstop Parties (other than any Defaulting Backstop Party) shall have the right, but shall not be obligated to, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Company
            to all Backstop Parties of such Backstop Party Default (which notice shall be given promptly following the occurrence of such Backstop Party Default) (such five (5) Business Day period, the “Backstop Party
                Replacement Period”) to make arrangements for one or more of the Backstop Parties (other than the Defaulting Backstop Party) to purchase all or any portion of the Available Shares (such purchase, a “Backstop Party Replacement”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in such amounts based upon the applicable Backstop Commitment Percentage of any such Backstop Parties or as may
            otherwise be agreed upon by all of the Backstop Parties electing to purchase all or any portion of the Available Shares (such Backstop Parties, the “Replacing Backstop Parties”). Any such Available
            Shares purchased by a Replacing Backstop Party shall be included in the determination of (x) the Unsubscribed Shares of such Replacing Backstop Party for all purposes hereunder and (y) the Backstop Commitment Percentage of such Backstop Party
            for the purposes of the Backstop Fee. If a Backstop Party Default occurs, the Outside Date shall be delayed only to the extent necessary to allow for the Backstop Party Replacement to be completed within the Backstop Party Replacement Period.
            If a Backstop Party is or becomes a Defaulting Backstop Party, it shall not be entitled to the Backstop Fee.

           

          (b)           Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require a
              Backstop Party to purchase more than its Backstop Commitment Percentage.

           

          (c)            For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the
              contrary set forth in Section 9.02 but subject to Section 10.10, no provision of this Agreement shall relieve any Defaulting Backstop Party from liability hereunder in connection with such Defaulting Backstop Party’s Backstop Party Default.
              Such Defaulting Backstop Party will be liable to the non-defaulting Parties for money damages and/or specific performance as set forth in Section 10.09.

          Section 2.04     Backstop Escrow Account Funding. (a) 

            Funding Notice. Subject to Section 2.02(b), at least twelve (12) Business Days before the Funding Deadline (as defined below), the Company shall deliver to each Backstop Party, or cause the Rights
            Offering Subscription Agent to deliver to each Backstop Party, a written notice (the “Funding Notice”) of (i) the number of Rights Offering Shares elected to be purchased by the Rights Offering
            Participants (the “Subscribed Shares”) and the aggregate purchase price therefor; (ii) the aggregate number of Unsubscribed Shares, if any, and the aggregate Purchase Price therefor; (iii) the
            number of Unsubscribed Shares (based upon such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage) to be issued and sold by the Company to such Backstop Party and the Purchase Price therefor as well as the Subscribed Shares to be purchased by such
            Backstop Party and the purchase price therefore (in aggregate, the “Funding Amount”); (iv) wire instructions for a segregated escrow account to which such Backstop Party shall deliver the Funding
            Amount (the “Backstop Escrow Account”); and (v) an estimate of the deadline for delivery of the Funding Amount, which deadline shall be no earlier than five (5) Business Days before the expected
            Effective Date (the “Funding Deadline”). The Company and the Rights Offering Subscription Agent shall promptly provide any written backup, information and documentation relating to the information
            contained in the Funding Notice as any Backstop Party may reasonably request.

           

          (b)           Backstop Escrow Account
                Funding. No later than the Funding Deadline, each Backstop Party shall deliver and pay its Funding Amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars into the Backstop Escrow Account in satisfaction of such
              Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment. The Backstop Escrow Account shall be established with an escrow agent reasonably acceptable to the Backstop Parties and the Company pursuant to an escrow agreement (the “Escrow

                  Agreement”) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Backstop Parties and the Company. The funds held in the Backstop Escrow Account shall be released, and each Backstop Party shall receive from the Backstop
              Escrow Account the cash amount actually funded to the Backstop Escrow Account by such Backstop Party promptly following (i) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and (ii) the Outside Date if, by such date, the Closing
              Date has not occurred.

           

          Section 2.05     Closing. (a)  Subject to
            Article 7, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the Company and the Required Backstop Parties, the closing of the Backstop Commitments (the “Closing”) shall take place via electronic
            exchange of closing documents and signature pages on date on which all of the conditions set forth in Article 7 shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement (other than conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied
            at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions). The date on which the Closing actually occurs shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

           

          (b)           At the Closing, the Company and the Backstop Parties shall
              deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent authorizing the release of the funds held in the Backstop Escrow Account as set forth and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Section 6.13 and the Plan.

          

            

          
            19

            
              

          

          (c)           At the Closing, issuance of the New Common Stock will be made
              by the Company to the account of each Backstop Party (or to such other accounts as any Backstop Party may designate in accordance with this Agreement) against payment of the aggregate purchase price therefor of such Backstop Party. The entry
              of any New Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) into the account of a Backstop Party (or its designee) pursuant to the Company’s book entry procedures and delivery to such Backstop Party (or its designee) of an
              account statement reflecting the book entry of such New Common Stock shall be deemed delivery of such New Common Stock for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all New Common Stock will be
              delivered with all issue, stamp, transfer, sales and use, or similar transfer Taxes or duties that are due and payable (if any) in connection with such delivery duly paid by the Company.

           

          Section 2.06      Designation and Assignment Rights.

           

          (a)           Each Backstop Party shall have the right to designate by written notice to the Company no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date that some or all of the New Common Stock that it is
            obligated to purchase hereunder be issued in the name of, and delivered to, one or more of its Related Funds upon receipt by the Company of payment therefor in accordance with the terms hereof, which notice of designation shall (i) be addressed
            to the Company and signed by such Backstop Party and each Related Fund, (ii) specify the number of shares of New Common Stock to be delivered to or issued in the name of such Related Fund and (iii) contain a confirmation by such Related Fund of
            the accuracy of the representations set forth in Article 5 as applied to such Related Fund; provided that no such designation pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall relieve such Backstop Party from its
            funding obligations under this Agreement.

           

          (b)            Each Backstop Party shall have the right to Transfer all or
              any portion of its Backstop Commitment to a Related Fund; provided that (i) such Backstop Party and Related Fund agree in a writing addressed to the Company that such Related Fund shall purchase such
              portion of such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment; (ii) each Backstop Party confirms in writing its good faith belief that all of the representations and warranties in Article 5 are accurate with respect to such Related Fund; and (iii)
              such Related Fund executes a joinder agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Joinder Agreement”) and delivers an executed copy thereof to the
              Company; provided that no such Transfer pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall relieve such Backstop Party from its funding obligations under this Agreement if such Related Fund fails to fund
              hereunder.

           

          (c)            Each Backstop Party shall have the right to Transfer to any
              Person that is not an existing Backstop Party or Related Fund (each of the Persons to whom a Transfer is made, a “New Purchaser”) either (i) all or any portion of its Backstop Commitment; provided that (A) such Transfer shall have been consented to by the Required Backstop Parties and the Company (in each case, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned and shall be
              deemed to have been given after two (2) Business Days following notification in writing to the Company of a proposed Transfer by such Backstop Party), and (B) such New Purchaser executes a Joinder Agreement and delivers an executed copy
              thereof to the Company (any Related Fund party as described in Section 2.06(b) and/or New Purchaser as described in this Section 2.06(c)(i) that executes and delivers such Joinder Agreement shall be referred to as a “Permitted Backstop Commitment Transferee”) or (ii) all or any portion of its obligation to fund the purchase of the Unsubscribed Shares (the “Funding Obligation” and, for
              the avoidance of doubt, which Transfer shall not include the Backstop Commitment) pursuant to documentation that is reasonably satisfactory to both the Backstop Party effecting such Transfer and the Company; provided
              that no Backstop Party effecting a Transfer of the Funding Obligation pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(ii) shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations under this Agreement until such New Purchaser has actually funded all or
              any portion of the Funding Obligation so transferred into the Backstop Escrow Account.

          

            

          
            20

            
              

          

          (d)            Each Backstop Party, severally and not jointly, agrees that
              it will not, directly or indirectly, assign or otherwise Transfer, at any time prior to the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any
              Person other than in accordance with Sections 2.03, 2.06(a), 2.06(b), 2.06(c), 7.02, 10.07. After the Closing Date, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict in any way any Backstop Party’s ability to Transfer any of its shares of New
              Common Stock or any interest therein; provided that any such Transfer shall be made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration
              requirements thereunder and pursuant to applicable securities Laws.

           

          ARTICLE 3                          

            BACKSTOP FEE AND EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT

           

          Section 3.01     Fees Payable by the Company. Subject to Section 3.02, as consideration
            for the Backstop Commitment and the other agreements of the Backstop Parties in this Agreement, the Debtors shall pay or cause to be paid a nonrefundable aggregate fee in an amount equal to 6.0% of the Rights Offering Amount, calculated in
            accordance with Section 3.02 to the Backstop Parties (including any Replacing Backstop Party, but excluding any Defaulting Backstop Party) or their designees based upon their respective Backstop Commitment Percentages on the date hereof (the “Backstop Fee”).

           

          The provisions for the payment of the Backstop Fee and Expense Reimbursement, and the indemnification provided herein, are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these
            provisions the Backstop Parties would not have entered into this Agreement, and the Backstop Fee and Expense Reimbursement shall constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estates under Sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy
            Code. The Backstop Fee shall be payable in New Common Stock and shall be fully earned upon the execution of this Agreement.

           

          For the avoidance of doubt, the Backstop Commitment Percentage of the Sponsor Backstop Parties is 15.33% in aggregate as set forth on Schedule 1 and, accordingly, the Sponsor Backstop Parties are entitled to the
            corresponding percentage of the Backstop Fee (i.e., 15.33% of 6.0% of the Rights Offering Amount, or $612,000).

           

          Section 3.02      Payment of Fees. The Backstop Fee shall be fully earned, indefeasible,
            nonrefundable and non-avoidable upon entry of the BCA Approval Order and shall be paid by the Debtors, free and clear of any withholding or deduction for any applicable Taxes, on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent
            payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Backstop Fee will be payable regardless of the number of Unsubscribed Shares (if any) actually purchased. Payment of the Backstop Fee shall be made as and when due and payable in New
            Common Stock. The Backstop Fee shall, pursuant to the BCA Approval Order, constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estates under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code. Except as provided for in Section 2.03, the
            Backstop Fee shall be nonrefundable and non-avoidable if and when paid.

           

          
            21

            
              

          

          Section 3.03      Expense Reimbursement.

           

          (a)       Until the earlier to occur of (x) the Closing and (y) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Debtors agree to pay
            in accordance with Section 3.03(b): (A) the fees and expenses (including reasonable travel costs and expenses) of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc., and Rapp & Krock, PC, in each case that have been and are
            actually incurred in connection with (x) the negotiation, preparation and implementation of the Transaction Agreements and the other agreements and transactions contemplated thereby and (y) the Restructuring Transactions; and (B) the reasonable
            and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Backstop Parties relating to this Agreement, in each case, that have been paid or are payable by the Backstop Parties (such payment obligations set forth in clauses (A) and (B),
            collectively, the “Expense Reimbursement”). The Expense Reimbursement shall, pursuant to the BCA Approval Order, constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estates under
            sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code.

           

          (b)      The Expense Reimbursement accrued through the date on which the BCA Approval Order is entered shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of
            the Company’s receipt of invoices therefor (and in no event earlier than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the BCA Approval Order is entered). The Expense Reimbursement accrued thereafter shall be payable by the Debtors within ten
            (10) Business Days after receipt of monthly invoices therefor; provided that the Debtors’ final payment shall be made contemporaneously with the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, as applicable, pursuant to Article 9. 

            For the avoidance of doubt, the Expense Reimbursement shall not be payable by the Debtors in the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(f)(i), and the Backstop Parties shall promptly reimburse the Company for all
            Expense Reimbursement paid by the Company prior to any such termination; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the Expense Reimbursement shall still be due and payable to any Backstop Party that
            shall not have been the cause of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(f)(i).

           

          ARTICLE 4

            REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

           

          Except as set forth in the Disclosure Statement, Company Disclosure Schedule or any Company SEC Document but subject in each case to Section 4.33, the Debtors, jointly and severally, hereby represent and warrant to
            the Backstop Parties (unless otherwise set forth herein, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date) as set forth below:

            owns, leases or operates properties or conducts any business, in each case except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or licensed or be in good standing would not have or reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the
            aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

          

          

          
            22

            
              

          

          Section 4.02     Corporate Power and Authority. (a)  The Company has the requisite
            corporate power and authority (i) (A) subject to the entry of the BCA Approval Order, to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform the BCA Approval Obligations and (B) subject to the entry of the Disclosure Statement Order,
            the BCA Approval Order, the BCA Consummation Approval Order and the Confirmation Order, to perform each of its other obligations hereunder and (ii) subject to the entry of the Confirmation Order, to enter into, execute and deliver the
            Registration Rights Agreement and all other agreements to which it will be a party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan (this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and such other agreements, collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”) and to perform its obligations under each of the Transaction Agreements (other than this Agreement). Subject to the receipt of the foregoing Orders, as applicable, the
            execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been or will be duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on behalf of
            the Company, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are or will be necessary to authorize this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

           

          (b)           Subject to the entry of the Disclosure Statement Order, the
              BCA Approval Order, the BCA Consummation Approval Order and the Confirmation Order, each of the other Debtors has the requisite power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to enter into, execute and deliver each Transaction Agreement to
              which such other Debtor is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. Subject to the receipt of the foregoing Orders, as applicable, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Agreements and the
              consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been or will be duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on behalf of each other Debtor party thereto, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of any other

              necessary corporate actions required for the due consummation of the Plan in accordance with its terms.

            Disclosure Statement Order, the BCA Approval Order, the BCA Consummation Approval Order and the Confirmation Order, each other Transaction Agreement will be, duly executed and delivered by the Company and each of the other Debtors party
            thereto. Upon entry of the BCA Approval Order, and assuming this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Backstop Parties and the other parties thereto, the BCA Approval Obligations will constitute the valid and
            legally binding obligations of the Company and, to the extent applicable, the other Debtors, enforceable against the Company and, to the extent applicable, the other Debtors in accordance with their respective terms. Upon entry of the BCA
            Approval Order and assuming this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Backstop Parties and the other parties thereto, each of the other obligations hereunder will constitute the valid and legally binding obligations
            of the Company and, to the extent applicable, the other Debtors, enforceable against the Company and, to the extent applicable, the other Debtors, in accordance with their respective terms.

          Section 4.04     Authorized and Issued Capital Stock.

           

          (a)           The shares of New Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Plan, including the shares of New Common Stock to be issued in connection with the consummation of the Rights Offering and pursuant to the
            terms hereof (including the Backstop Fee), will, when issued and delivered on the Closing Date, be duly authorized and validly issued and will be fully paid and non- assessable, and will not be subject to any Liens (other than Permitted Liens
            and transfer restrictions imposed hereunder or by applicable Law or the Registration Rights Agreement) or any preemptive rights (other than any rights set forth in the Plan or the New Organizational Documents).

            Backstop Parties is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the Rights Offering) and

            31, 2019 (collectively, the “Financial Statements”) comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, in each case, present fairly the
            financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as of the dates indicated and for the periods specified therein. The Financial Statements have been prepared in
            conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods and at the dates covered thereby (except, in the case of unaudited
            interim financial statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC).

           

          Section 4.10     Disclosure Statement and Company SEC Documents.

           

          (a)            The Disclosure Statement as approved by the Bankruptcy Court

          (b)           Since December 31, 2018, the Company has filed all required
              reports, schedules, forms and statements with the SEC. As of its respective filing date (and as of the date of any amendment), each of the Company SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the
              Securities Act or the Exchange Act applicable to such Company SEC Documents.

           

          (c)            As of its filing date (or, if amended or superseded by a
              filing prior to the date hereof, on the date of such filing), each Company SEC Document filed since December 31, 2018 pursuant to the Exchange Act did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
              necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading

           

          (d)            Each Company SEC Document that is a registration statement,
              as amended or supplemented, if applicable, filed since December 31, 2018 pursuant to the Securities Act, as of the date such registration statement or amendment became effective, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
              to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

           

          (e)            There are no outstanding loans or other extensions of credit
              made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any executive officer (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act) or director of the Company. The Company has not, since the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, taken any action
              prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

          Section 4.11     No Undisclosed Material Liabilities. Except as set forth in Schedule
            4.11, there are no liabilities or obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any kind whatsoever, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined or determinable, and there is no existing condition, situation or set of
            circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result in such a liability or obligation other than: (i) liabilities or obligations disclosed and provided for in the Company Balance Sheet or in the notes thereto; (ii) liabilities or
            obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices since December 31, 2018; and (iii) liabilities or obligations that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
            Adverse Effect.  None of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 4.11 shall be deemed to relate to environmental matters (which are governed by Section 4.20), employee benefits matters (which are governed by Section 4.22),
            employment matters (which are governed by Section 4.15) or tax matters (which are governed by Section 4.21).

          Section 4.12     Absence of Certain Changes. From December 31, 2018 to the date hereof, no
            Event has occurred or exists that has, had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.  None of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 4.12 shall be deemed to
            relate to environmental matters (which are governed by Section 4.20), employee benefits matters (which are governed by Section 4.22), employment matters (which are governed by Section 4.15) or tax matters (which are governed by Section 4.21).

           

          Section 4.13     No Violation; Compliance with Laws. (i) The Company is not in violation
            of its charter or bylaws in any material respect and (ii) no Subsidiary of the Company is in violation of its respective charter or bylaws or similar organizational document in any material respect. Neither the Company nor any of its
            Subsidiaries is or has been at any time since December 31, 2018, in violation of any Law or Order, except for any such violation that has not and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in  the aggregate, a Material Adverse
            Effect.

           

          Section 4.14     Legal Proceedings. Other than the Chapter 11 Proceedings, any adversary
            proceedings or contested motions commenced in connection therewith and except as set forth in Section 4.14 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no notices, claims, complaints, requests for information or legal, governmental,
            administrative, judicial or regulatory investigations, audits, actions, suits, claims, arbitrations, demands, demand letters, notices of noncompliance or violations, or proceedings (“Legal Proceedings”)

            pending or threatened to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or to which any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is the subject that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
            Material Adverse Effect.  None of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 4.14 shall be deemed to relate to environmental matters (which are governed by Section 4.20)

           

          Section 4.15     Labor Relations. (a)  There is no labor or employment-related Legal
            Proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, by or on behalf of any of their respective employees or such employees’ labor organization, works council, workers’ committee,
            union representatives or any other type of employees’ representatives appointed for collective bargaining purposes (collectively “Employee Representatives”), or by any Governmental Entity, that has
            had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

          

          

          
            27

            
              

          

          (b)           There are no Collective Bargaining Agreements applicable to
              persons employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in effect as of the date of this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement. In addition, there are no jurisdictions in which the employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
              are represented by a works council or similar entity and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no union organizing efforts or Employee Representatives’ elections are underway or threatened with respect to any such employees. There is no strike,
              lockout, material labor dispute or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threat thereof, by or with respect to any employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and, to the Knowledge of the Company, there has not been any such action
              within the past two (2) years. Except as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any obligation
              (whether pursuant to Law or Contract) to notify, inform and/or consult with, or obtain consent from, any Employee Representative regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to entering into this Agreement.

           

          (c)           Except as set forth in Section 4.15 of the Company Disclosure
              Schedule, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has complied in all respects with its payment obligations to all employees of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries in respect of all wages, salaries, fees, commissions, bonuses, overtime
              pay, holiday pay, sick pay, benefits and all other compensation, remuneration and emoluments due and payable to such employees under any Company Plan or any applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement or Law, except to the extent that any
              noncompliance does not constitute or would not reasonably be expected to constitute, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and, for the avoidance of doubt, except for any payments that are not permitted by the Bankruptcy
              Court or the Bankruptcy Code.

           

          Section 4.16     Intellectual Property.  The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess,
            or can acquire on reasonable terms, all material patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or
            procedures), trademarks, service marks and trade names currently employed by them in connection with the business now operated by them except where the failure to so own or possess would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
            expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any of the foregoing which, singly or in the
            aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

           

          Section 4.17     Title to Real and Personal Property. Except as has not had and would not
            reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect:

           

          (a)           Real
                Property. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, has good and defensible title to each Owned Real Property, free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens that are described in (x) the Company SEC Documents,
              (y) the Plan or (z) the Disclosure Statement or (ii) Permitted Liens.

           

          (b)           Leased
                Real Property. All Real Property Leases necessary for the operation of the Post-Effective Date Business are valid, binding and enforceable by and against the Company or its relevant Subsidiaries, and, to the Knowledge of the Company
              no written notice to terminate, in whole or part, any of such leases has been delivered to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, has there been any indication that any such notice of termination will be
              served). Other than as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Proceedings, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other party to any material Real Property Lease necessary for the operation
              of the Post-Effective Date Business is in default or breach under the terms thereof except for such instances of default or breach that do not have and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
              Adverse Effect.

          

            

          
            28

            
              

          

          (c)           Personal Property. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries has good title or, in the case of leased assets, a valid leasehold interest, free and clear of all Liens, to all of the tangible personal property
              and assets, except for (i) Liens that are described in (x) the Company SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof, (y) the Plan or (z) the Disclosure Statement or (ii) Permitted Liens.  None of the representations and warranties contained
              in this Section 4.17(c) shall be deemed to relate to Oil and Gas Leases (which are governed by Section 4.36).

           

          Section 4.18     No Undisclosed Relationships. No relationship, direct or indirect, exists
            between or among the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the directors, officers, or greater than five percent stockholder of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, that is required by the Exchange Act
            to be described in the Company SEC Documents and that are not so described in the Company SEC Documents, except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

           

          Section 4.19     Licenses and Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess all
            licenses, certificates, permits and other authorizations issued by, and have made all declarations and filings with, the appropriate Governmental Entities that are necessary for the ownership or lease of their respective properties and the
            conduct of the Post-Effective Date Business, in each case, except as would not have and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not have and would not reasonably be
            expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has received notice of any revocation or modification of any such license, certificate, permit or authorization
            or (ii) has any reason to believe that any such license, certificate, permit or authorization will not be renewed in the ordinary course. None of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 4.19 shall be deemed to relate to
            environmental matters (which are governed by Section 4.20).

           

          Section 4.20     Environmental. (a) The Company
            and its Subsidiaries are, and have been, in compliance with all applicable Laws relating to the protection of the environment, natural resources (including wetlands, wildlife, aquatic and terrestrial species and vegetation) or of human health
            and safety, or to the management, use, transportation, treatment, storage, disposal or arrangement for disposal of Materials of Environmental Concern (collectively, “Environmental Laws”), except
            for such noncompliance that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

           

          (b)            The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) have received, possess
              and are in compliance with all permits, licenses, exemptions and other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses as presently conducted (“Environmental

                  Permits”), (ii) are not subject to any action to revoke, terminate, cancel, limit, amend or appeal any such Environmental Permits, and (iii) have paid all fees, assessments or expenses due under any such Environmental Permits,
              except for such failures to receive and comply with Environmental Permits, or any such actions, or failure to pay any such fees, assessments or expenses that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
              Material Adverse Effect.

          

            

          
            29

            
              

          

          (c)           Except with respect to matters that have been fully and
              finally settled or resolved, (i) there are no Legal Proceedings under any Environmental Laws pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and, to the Knowledge of the Company, there
              are no such Legal Proceedings pending against any other Person that would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries have not received written notice
              of any actual or potential liability of the Company for the investigation, remediation or monitoring of any Materials of Environmental Concern at any location, or for any violation of Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits, where such
              Legal Proceedings or liability would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

           

          (d)           None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has entered
              into any consent decree, settlement or other agreement with any Governmental Entity, and none of the Company or its Subsidiaries is subject to any Order, in either case relating to any Environmental Laws, Environmental Permits or to Materials
              of Environmental Concern, except for such consent decrees, settlements, agreements or Orders that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

           

          (e)           There has been no release, disposal or arrangement for
              disposal of any Materials of Environmental Concern by the Company or its Subsidiaries at, from or to any real property currently or, to the Knowledge of the Company, formerly owned, leased or operated by the Company or its Subsidiaries that
              would reasonably be expected to (i) give rise to any liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law, or (ii) prevent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from complying with applicable Environmental Laws or
              Environmental Permits, except for such Legal Proceedings, liability or burden or non-compliance that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

           

          (f)            Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has assumed
              or retained by Contract or operation of Law any liabilities of any other Person under Environmental Laws or concerning any Materials of Environmental Concern, where such assumption or acceptance of responsibility would reasonably be expected
              to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

           

          (g)           None of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement
              will give rise to any obligations to obtain the consent of or provide notice to any Governmental Entity under any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits, except for such consents or notices the failure of which to obtain or provide as
              would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

           

          Section 4.21     Tax Matters. (a) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have timely
            filed or caused to be timely filed (taking into account any applicable extension of time within which to file) with the appropriate taxing authorities all material tax returns, statements, forms and reports (including elections, declarations,
            disclosures, schedules, estimates and information Tax Returns) for Taxes (“Tax Returns”) that are required to be filed by, or with respect to, the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Tax Returns
            accurately reflect all material liability for Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, for the periods covered thereby.

          

          

          
            30

              been paid in full or will be paid in full pursuant to the Plan or, to the extent not yet due, have been accrued and fully provided for in accordance with GAAP, or will be provided for when required under GAAP on the financial statements of
              the Company included in the Company SEC Documents.

           

          (c)            Except for proofs of claim filed in connection with the
              Chapter 11 Proceedings, none of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notices from any taxing authority relating to any issue that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
              Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

           

          (d)            Except as set forth on Schedule 4.21(d), all material Taxes

              included in any “consolidated,” “unitary” or “combined” Tax Return provided for under any Law with respect to Taxes for any taxable period for which the statute of limitations has not expired (other than a group of which the Company and/or
              its current or past Subsidiaries are or were the only members).

           

          (f)            There are no tax sharing, indemnification or similar
              agreements in effect as between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor or Affiliate thereof and any other party (including any predecessors or Affiliates thereof) under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a
              party to or otherwise bound by (other than such agreements (i) that are entered in the ordinary course of business or (ii) that are not expected to result in a liability for Taxes that is material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as
              a whole).

           

          (g)            None of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries has been
              either a “distributing corporation” or a “controlled corporation” in a distribution occurring during the last five years in which the parties to such distribution treated the distribution as one to which Section 355 of the Code is applicable.

           

          (h)            There is no outstanding audit, assessment, dispute or claim
              concerning any material Tax liability of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) claimed, pending or raised by an authority in writing, the resolution of which would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the

            31

            
              

          

          (i)            There are no material Liens with respect to Taxes upon any of
              the assets or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), other than Permitted Liens.

           

          Section 4.22     Company Plans.  (a)  Except as would not reasonably be expected to have,
            individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect: (i) each Company Plan (other than a Foreign Benefit Plan) (such plans, “U.S. Benefit Plans”) is in compliance with ERISA, the Code,
            other applicable Laws and its governing documents; (ii) each U.S. Benefit Plan that is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS, and, to the Knowledge of the
            Company, nothing has occurred that is reasonably likely to result in the loss of the qualification of such U.S. Benefit Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code or the imposition of any material liability, penalty or tax under ERISA or the Code;
            (iii) no “reportable event,” within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA has occurred or is expected to occur for any U.S. Benefit Plan covered by Title IV of ERISA other than events as to which the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation by
            regulation waived the requirement of Section 4043(a) of ERISA that it be notified within 30 days of the occurrence of such event or as a result of the Chapter 11 Proceedings; (iv) all contributions required to be made under the terms of any
            U.S. Benefit Plan have been timely made or have been (A) reflected in the financial statements of the Company included in the Company SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof or (B) described in the Plan or Disclosure Statement; and (v) no
            liability, claim, action, litigation, audit, examination, investigation or administrative proceeding has been made, commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing with respect to any U.S. Benefit Plan (other than (A)
            routine claims for benefits payable in the ordinary course, (B) otherwise in relation to the Chapter 11 Proceedings or (C) any that, individually, could not reasonably be expected to result in a liability of the Company or any of its
            Subsidiaries in excess of $250,000).

           

          (b)            No U.S. Benefit Plan (other than any “multiemployer plan”
              within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA (a “Multiemployer Plan”)) subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has failed to satisfy the minimum funding standard, within the
              meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, or obtained a waiver of any minimum funding standard and, within the past six (6) years, no U.S. Benefit Plan covered by Title IV of ERISA has been terminated and no proceedings have
              been instituted to terminate or appoint a trustee under Title IV of ERISA to administer any such Company Plan. Within the past six (6) years, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have incurred any unsatisfied liability under Title
              IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA by reason of being treated as a single employer together with any other Person under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414 of the Code.

           

          (c)            Within the past six (6) years, the Company and its
              Subsidiaries have not incurred any withdrawal liability with respect to a Multiemployer Plan under Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA that has not been satisfied in full, and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no condition or circumstance exists
              that presents a reasonable risk of the occurrence of any other withdrawal from or the partition, termination, or insolvency of any such Multiemployer Plan.

           

          (d)            No U.S. Benefit Plan provides for post-employment or retiree
              health, life insurance or other welfare benefits, except for (A) death benefits, (B) benefits required by Section 4980B of the Code or similar Law, (C) benefits for which the covered individual pays the full premium cost and (D) short term
              and long term disability benefits.

          

            

          
            32

            
              

          

          (e)            Neither the execution of this Agreement, the Plan or the
              other Transaction Agreements, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will (A) entitle any employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to severance pay or any increase in severance pay upon any
              termination of employment after the date hereof, (B) accelerate the time of payment or vesting or result in any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or result
              in any other material obligation pursuant to, any of the U.S. Benefit Plans, or (C) limit or restrict the right of the Company to merge, amend or terminate any of the U.S. Benefit Plans.

           

          (f)            Except as set forth on Schedule 4.22(f), the execution,
              delivery of and performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of its obligations under this Agreement will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) result in “excess parachute payments” within the
              meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code or any payments under any other applicable Laws that would be treated in such similar nature to such section of the Code, with respect to any Company Plan that would be in effect immediately after the
              Closing.

           

          (g)            Except as required to maintain the tax-qualified status of
              any U.S. Benefit Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, to the Knowledge of the Company, no condition or circumstance exists that would prevent the amendment or termination of any U.S. Benefit Plan other than a U.S.
              Benefit Plan between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and an individual employee or director thereof, on the other hand.

           

          Section 4.23     Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Company has established
            and maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that complies in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and has been
            designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. The Company is not aware of any material weaknesses in its
            internal control over financial reporting.

           

          Section 4.24     Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company (i) maintains disclosure
            controls and procedures (within the meaning of Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files and submits under the
            Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files and submits under the
            Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management of the Company as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

           

          
            33

            
              

          

          Section 4.25     Material Contracts.

           

          (a)            All Material Contracts are valid, binding and enforceable by
              and against the Company or its relevant Subsidiary, except where the failure to be valid, binding or enforceable would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and no written notice to
              terminate, in whole or part, any Material Contract has been delivered to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries except where such termination would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
              Effect. Other than as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Proceedings, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other party to any Material Contract, is in default or breach under the
              terms thereof. For purposes of this Agreement, “Material Contract” means any Contract necessary for the operation of the Post-Effective Date Business that is a “material contract” (as such term
              is defined in Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K or required to be disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K).

           

          Section 4.26     No Unlawful Payments. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor
            any of their respective directors or officers nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or other Person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, has in any material
            respect: (a) used any funds of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense, in each case relating to political activity; (b) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to
            any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; (c) violated or is in violation of any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977; or (d) made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or
            other similar unlawful payment.

           

          Section 4.27     Compliance with Money Laundering Laws. The operations of the Company and
            its Subsidiaries are and have been at all times conducted in compliance in all material respects with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the
            money laundering statutes of all jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar Laws (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”) and no material action, suit or
            proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened.

           

          Section 4.28     Compliance with Sanctions Laws. Neither the Company nor any of its
            Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or other Person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions
            administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department or the U.S. Department of State. The Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the sale of the New Common Stock , or lend, contribute or
            otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person that, to the Knowledge of the Company, is currently the subject or target of any U.S.
            sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department or the U.S. Department of State.

          Section 4.29     No Broker’s Fees. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
            party to any Contract with any Person (other than this Agreement) that would give rise to a valid claim against the Backstop Parties for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the sale of the New Common Stock,
            the Rights Offering or the sale of the Rights Offering Shares.

            Registration Rights Agreement, no Person has the right to require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to register any securities for sale under the Securities Act, from and after the occurrence of the Effective Date.

            individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect: (a) the Company and its Subsidiaries have insured their properties and assets against such risks and in such amounts as are customary for companies engaged in similar businesses; (b)
            all premiums due and payable in respect of material insurance policies maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries have been paid; (c) the Company reasonably believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Company and its
            Subsidiaries is adequate in all material respects; and (d) as of the date hereof, to the Knowledge of the Company, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received notice from any insurer or agent of such insurer with respect to any
            material insurance policies of the Company and its Subsidiaries of cancellation or termination of such policies, other than such notices which are received in the ordinary course of business or for policies that have expired in accordance with
            their terms.

           

          Section 4.33     Disclosure Schedule, Disclosure Statement and Company SEC Document References.

           

          (a)            The parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular
              Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company that are contained in the
              corresponding Section of this Agreement.

              any Company SEC Document or Disclosure Statement entitled “Risk Factors” (or otherwise containing disclosure of risk factors or risks) or any part entitled “Forward- Looking Statements” (or otherwise containing any statements that are
              predictive, forward-looking or primarily cautionary in nature or do not specifically describe the facts, circumstances or conditions on which an alleged breach of the Company’s representations and warranties is based) be deemed to be an
              exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) any representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement.

           

          Section 4.34     Investment Company Act.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
            is an “investment company” required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          Section 4.35     Alternate Transactions.  As of the date hereof, neither the Company nor
            any of its Subsidiaries is pursuing, or is in discussions regarding, any solicitation, offer or proposal from any Person concerning any actual or proposed Alternate Transaction.

              production payments, and other payments due and payable by the Company under or with respect to the Oil and Gas Leases, have been paid or are being held in suspense in the ordinary course of business, and (ii) the Company is not obligated
              under any contract for the sale of hydrocarbons from the Oil and Gas Leases containing a take-or-pay, advance payment, prepayment, or similar provision (except where the failure to satisfy either or both of (i) and (ii) would not
              individually, or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect).

           

          (c)            There is no outstanding authorization for expenditure or
              other commitment to make capital expenditures with respect to any oil and gas assets which the Company reasonably anticipates will individually require expenditures net of interest in excess of $250.0 million, except as already disclosed to

            and delivered by such Backstop Party and constitutes the valid and binding obligations of such Backstop Party, enforceable against such Backstop Party in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
            reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity whether applied in a court of law or a court of equity.

           

          Section 5.04     No Conflict. Assuming that the consents referred to in clauses (i) and
            (ii) of Section 5.05 are obtained, the execution and delivery by such Backstop Party of this Agreement, the compliance by such Backstop Party with all of the provisions hereof and thereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
            herein (i) will not conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of, any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or result in the acceleration of, or the creation of
            any Lien under, any Contract to which such Backstop Party is a party or by which such Backstop Party is bound or to which any of the properties or assets of such Backstop Party are subject, (ii) will not result in any violation of the

            adversely impact such Backstop Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

           

          Section 5.05     Consents and Approvals. No consent, approval, authorization, order,
            registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over such Backstop Party or any of its properties is required for the execution and delivery by such Backstop Party of this Agreement, the compliance by such

          Section 5.06     No Registration. Such Backstop Party understands that the Unsubscribed
            Shares and any shares of New Common Stock issued to such Backstop Party in satisfaction of the Backstop Fee have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities
            Act, the availability of which depends on, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Backstop Party’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.

           

          Section 5.07     Purchasing Intent. Such Backstop Party is acquiring the Unsubscribed
            Shares for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof not in compliance with applicable securities Laws, and such Backstop Party has no present intention of
            selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, except in compliance with applicable securities Laws.

           

          Section 5.08     Sophistication; Investigation. Such Backstop Party has such knowledge and
            experience in financial and business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Unsubscribed Shares being acquired hereunder. Such Backstop Party is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of
            Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act and a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A of the Securities Act. Such Backstop Party understands and is able to bear any economic risks associated with such investment (including the
            necessity of holding the New Common Stock for an indefinite period of time).  Such Backstop Party has conducted and relied on its own independent investigation of, and judgment with respect to, the Company and its Subsidiaries and the advice of
            its own legal, tax, economic, and other advisors.

           

          Section 5.09     No Broker’s Fees. Such Backstop Party is not a party to any Contract with
            any Person (other than this Agreement) that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company, for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the Rights Offering or the sale of the New Common Stock.

           

          Section 5.10     No Legal Proceedings. Other than the Chapter 11 Proceedings and any
            adversary proceedings or contested motions commenced in connection therewith, there are no Legal Proceedings pending or threatened to which such Backstop Party is a party or to which any property of such Backstop Party is the subject that would
            reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prohibit, materially delay or materially and adversely impact such Backstop Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement to which
            such Backstop Party is a party.

           

          Section 5.11     Sufficiency of Funds.  Such Backstop Party has, or such Backstop Party on
            the Funding Deadline will have, sufficient immediately available funds to make and complete the payment of the aggregate Purchase Price for its Backstop Commitment Percentage of the Unsubscribed Shares on the Funding Deadline.

          (a)            Each Party agrees to use reasonable best efforts to take, or
              cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the Plan, including (i) if applicable,
              filing, or causing to be filed, the Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice and the United
              States Federal Trade Commission and any filings under any other Antitrust Laws that are necessary to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof and
              (ii) promptly furnishing documents or information reasonably requested by any Antitrust Authority.

           

          (b)            The Company and each Backstop Party subject to an obligation
              pursuant to the Antitrust Laws to notify any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Plan or the other Transaction Agreements (each such Backstop Party, a “Filing Party”) agree to
              reasonably cooperate with each other as to the appropriate time of filing such notification and its content. The Company and each Filing Party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: (i) promptly notify each other of, and if in
              writing, furnish each other with copies of (or, in the case of material oral communications, advise each other orally of) any communications from or with an Antitrust Authority; (ii) not participate in any meeting with an Antitrust Authority
              unless it consults with each other Filing Party and the Company, as applicable, in advance and, to the extent permitted by the Antitrust Authority and applicable Law, give each other Filing Party and the Company, as applicable, a reasonable
              opportunity to attend and participate thereat; (iii) furnish each other Filing Party and the Company, as applicable, with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications between such Filing Party or the Company and the Antitrust
              Authority; (iv) furnish each other Filing Party with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as may be reasonably necessary in connection with the preparation of necessary filings or submission of information to the Antitrust
              Authority; and (v) not withdraw its filing, if any, under the HSR Act without the prior written consent of the Required Backstop Parties and the Company.

           

          (c)            Should a Filing Party be subject to an obligation under the
              Antitrust Laws to jointly notify with one or more other Filing Parties (each, a “Joint Filing Party”) a transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Plan or the other Transaction Agreements,
              such Joint Filing Party shall promptly notify each other Joint Filing Party of, and if in writing, furnish each other Joint Filing Party with copies of (or, in the case of material oral communications, advise each other Joint Filing Party
              orally of) any communications from or with an Antitrust Authority.

           

          (d)            The Company and each Filing Party shall use reasonable best
              efforts to cause the waiting periods under the applicable Antitrust Laws to terminate or expire at the earliest possible date after the date of filing. The communications contemplated by this Section 6.04 may be made by the Company or a
              Filing Party on an outside counsel-only basis or subject to other agreed upon confidentiality safeguards. The obligations in this Section 6.04 shall not apply to filings, correspondence, communications or meetings with Antitrust Authorities
              unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Plan and the other Transaction Agreements.

           

          
            41

            
              

          

          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing shall require any Backstop Party or any of its Affiliates to (i) dispose of, license or hold separate any of its or its Subsidiaries’ or
            Affiliates’ assets, (ii) limit its freedom of action or the conduct of its or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ businesses or make any other behavioral commitments with respect to itself or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (iii) divest any
            of its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates, or (iv) commit or agree to any of the foregoing. Without the prior written consent of the Required Backstop Parties, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall commit or agree to (i) dispose of,
            license or hold separate any of its assets or (ii) limit its freedom of action with respect to any of its businesses or commit or agree to any of the foregoing, in each case, in order to secure any necessary consent or approvals for the
            transactions contemplated hereby under the Antitrust Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Backstop Parties, nor any of their Affiliates, nor the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be required as a result of
            this Agreement, to initiate any legal action against, or defend any litigation brought by, the United States Department of Justice, the United States Federal Trade Commission, or any other Governmental Entity in order to avoid the entry of, or
            to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding which would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the transactions contemplated hereby, or which may
            require any undertaking or condition set forth in the preceding sentence.

           

          Section 6.05      Financial Information. (a) At
            all times prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to counsel to each Backstop Party and to each Backstop Party that so requests, subject to appropriate assurance of confidential treatment, all statements and reports the Company is
            required to deliver to the DIP Agent pursuant to Section 8.01 and Section 8.12 of the DIP Credit Agreement, and, if applicable to the Exit Facility Agent pursuant to the comparable section of the Exit Facility Loan Agreement (the “Financial Reports”). Neither any waiver by the DIP Lenders or, if applicable, the Exit Facility Lenders, of their right to receive the Financial Reports nor any amendment or termination of the
            Emergence Credit Facilities shall affect the Company’s obligation to deliver the Financial Reports to the Backstop Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

           

          (b)            Any report, financial statement, certificate or other written
              information furnished in connection with the DIP Credit Agreement, including without limitation, Section 8.01, Section 8.02 and Section 8.12 thereto, shall be deemed to have been delivered in accordance with Section 6.05(a) on the date on
              which the Company provides written notice to the Backstop Parties that such information has been posted on the Company’s website on the internet at www.legacyreserves.com or is available via the EDGAR system of the SEC on the internet (to the
              extent such information has been posted or is available as described in such notice).

           

          Section 6.06     Alternate Transactions.  The
            Company shall notify the Backstop Parties promptly (and, in any event, within 48 hours) if any bona fide proposal or offer (whether written or unwritten) for an Alternate Transaction (an “Alternate
                Transaction Proposal”) is received by it or its Subsidiaries or its or its Subsidiaries’ Representatives, indicating, in connection with such notice, the material terms and conditions of any such Alternate Transaction Proposal
            (including, if applicable, copies of any and all written inquiries, requests, proposals or offers, including any draft of proposed agreements received by the Company, also within 48 hours) and, thereafter, the Company shall keep the Backstop
            Parties reasonably informed of the status and terms of any such Alternate Transaction Proposals (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in the Company’s intentions as
            previously notified. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any confidentiality or similar agreement that would prohibit it from providing such information to the Backstop Parties.

          Section 6.07     Reasonable Best Efforts. (a)  Without in any way limiting any other
            respective obligation of the Company or any Backstop Party in this Agreement, the Company shall use (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use), and each Backstop Party shall use, reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions,
            and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan, including using reasonable best efforts in:

           

          
            
              (i)        timely preparing and filing all documentation reasonably necessary to effect all necessary notices, reports and
                other filings of such Party and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party or Governmental Entity;

            

            

            

          

          
            
              (ii)       defending any Legal Proceedings challenging this Agreement, the Plan or any other Transaction Agreement or the
                consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any Governmental Entity vacated or reversed; and

            

            

            

          

          
            
              (iii)      working together in good faith to finalize the Registration Rights Agreement and New Organizational Documents for timely inclusion in the Plan Supplement
                and filing with the Bankruptcy Court.

            

            

            

          

          (b)            Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of
              information, the Backstop Parties and the Company shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other on all of the information relating to Backstop Parties or the Company, as the case may
              be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
              Plan; provided, however, neither the Company nor the Backstop Parties are required to provide for review in advance declarations or other evidence submitted
              in connection with any filing with the Bankruptcy Court. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of the Company and the Backstop Parties shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.

           

          (c)            Nothing contained in this Section 6.07 shall limit the
              ability of any Backstop Party to consult with the Debtors, to appear and be heard, or to file objections, concerning any matter arising in the Chapter 11 Proceedings, so long as such appearance or objection is not inconsistent with such
              Backstop Party’s obligations under this Agreement or the RSA.

          Section 6.08     Equity Listing. Reorganized Legacy Reserves shall be constituted as a
            C-corporation after the Effective Date unless otherwise determined by the Required Backstop Parties, with prior notice to and in consultation with the Debtors. The Required Backstop Parties, with prior notice to and in consultation with the
            Debtors, shall determine the equity listing and reporting status of Reorganized Legacy Reserves upon emergence (including, without limitation, whether Reorganized Legacy Reserves will be listed over-the-counter, listed on a national exchange or
            will emerge as a private company), and the Debtors and Reorganized Legacy Reserves shall use their best efforts to effectuate such determination on the Effective Date or as soon as possible thereafter.  Unless otherwise directed by the Required
            Backstop Parties, the Debtors agree that the Company will remain a public reporting company with the SEC during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Proceedings.

           

          Section 6.09     Registration Rights Agreement. The Plan will provide that (i) from and
            after the Closing Date the Backstop Parties shall be entitled to certain registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement, in form and substance acceptable to the Company and the Required Backstop Parties (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). A form of the Registration Rights Agreement shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court as part of the Plan Supplement.

            with respect to both the New Common Stock issued hereunder in connection with the Rights Offering and any shares of New Common Stock that may be issued in satisfaction of the Backstop Fee as provided herein, in each case to the extent required
            under Regulation D of the Securities Act, and the Company shall provide, upon request, a copy thereof to each Backstop Party. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date and assuming that the representations and warranties of the Backstop
            Parties in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify for sale or issuance to the Backstop Parties the
            Unsubscribed Shares issued hereunder and any shares of New Common Stock that may be issued in satisfaction of the Backstop Fee as provided herein under applicable securities and “blue sky” Laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain
            an exemption from such qualification) and any applicable foreign jurisdictions, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Backstop Parties on or prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall timely make all filings and

            INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

           

          Section 8.01      Indemnification Obligations. The Company and the other Debtors (the “Indemnifying Parties” and each an “Indemnifying Party”) shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Backstop Party, its Affiliates,
            shareholders, members, partners and other equity holders, general partners, managers and its and their respective Representatives, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”)
            from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and costs and expenses (other than Taxes of the Backstop Parties except to the extent otherwise provided for in this Agreement, including the last sentence of Section 2.05(c))
            (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Indemnified Person may incur or to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the RSA, the Plan
            and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Backstop Commitments, the Rights Offering, the payment of the Backstop Fee or the use of the proceeds hereunder, from the Rights Offering, or, subject to Section 8.06, any
            breach by the Debtors of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or other provision of this Agreement, or any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any
            Indemnified Person is a party thereto, whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Company, the other Debtors, their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other Person, and reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand
            for reasonable and documented (subject to redaction to preserve attorney client and work product privileges) legal or other third-party expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence
            in or preparing to serve or serving as a witness with respect to, any lawsuit, investigation, claim or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including in connection with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth
            herein), irrespective of whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Plan are consummated or whether or not this Agreement is terminated; provided that the foregoing indemnity
            will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Losses (a) as to a Defaulting Backstop Party and its Related Parties, caused by a Backstop Party Default by such Backstop Party, (b) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable
            judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person, (c) a material breach of the representations and warranties made by such Indemnified Person in this
            Agreement, or (d) a material breach by such Indemnified Person of its obligations under this Agreement.

          

          

          Section 8.02      Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified
            Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder
            against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that (i) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not
            relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and (ii) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying
            Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Article 8. In case any such Indemnified Claims are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the
            commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof or participation therein, with
            counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person; provided that if the parties (including any impleaded parties) to any such Indemnified Claims include both such Indemnified Person and the
            Indemnifying Party and based on advice of such Indemnified Person’s counsel there are legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified
            Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claims. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its
            election to so assume the defense of such Indemnified Claims with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in
            connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (A) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in
            accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Persons who are parties to
            such Indemnified Claims (in addition to any local counsel in each jurisdiction in which local counsel is required as well as in the case of any perceived or actual conflict, appropriate conflict counsel) and all such expenses shall be
            reimbursed as they occur), (B) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Indemnified
            Claims, (C) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed or is failing to defend such claim, and is provided written notice of such failure by the Indemnified Person and such failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days of receipt
            of such notice, or (D) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have sole control
            over any Tax controversy or Tax audit of the Company or its Subsidiaries and shall be permitted to settle any liability for Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries after due consultation with the Required Backstop Parties.

          

          

          
            49

            
              

          

          Section 8.03      Settlement of Indemnified Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall not be
            liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If any settlement of any Indemnified Claims is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying
            Party or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Indemnified Claims, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or
            judgment to the extent such Losses are otherwise subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, the provisions of this Article 8. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8
            to the contrary, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested the Indemnifying Party to reimburse such Indemnified Person for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Indemnified
            Claims as contemplated by this Article 8, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than sixty (60) days after receipt by
            the Indemnifying Party of such request for reimbursement and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall not,
            without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims in respect of which indemnity or contribution has been sought
            hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (A) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person from all liability on the claims that are the
            subject matter of such Indemnified Claims and (B) such settlement does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

           

          Section 8.04      Contribution. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is
            unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless from Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
            Person as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of
            the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. It is hereby agreed that the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and all
            Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Company pursuant to the issuance and sale of the New Common Stock contemplated by this
            Agreement and the Plan bears to (b) the Backstop Fee paid or proposed to be paid to the Backstop Parties. The Indemnifying Parties also agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability based on their comparative or contributory
            negligence or otherwise to the Indemnifying Parties, any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any of the Indemnifying Parties, or any other Person in connection with an Indemnified Claim.

          Section 8.05      Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by the
            Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Person under this Article 8 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes. The provisions of this Article 8 are an integral part of
            the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Backstop Parties would not have entered into this Agreement, and the obligations of the Company under this Article 8 shall constitute allowed administrative
            expenses of the Debtors’ estate under Sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code and are payable without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court, and the Company may comply with the requirements of this Article 8 without further Order of the
            Bankruptcy Court.

           

          Section 8.06      No Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
            made in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing Date except for covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be satisfied after the Closing Date, which covenants and agreements shall survive until satisfied in accordance with their
            terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification and other obligations of the Company pursuant to this Article 8 and the other obligations set forth in Section 9.02 shall survive the Closing Date until the latest date permitted by
            applicable Law and, if applicable, be assumed by Reorganized Legacy Reserves and its Subsidiaries.

          Section 10.05    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY
            JURY IN ANY JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE AMONG THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

           

          Section 10.06    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
            counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to each other Party (including via facsimile or other electronic
            transmission), it being understood that each Party need not sign the same counterpart.  Any facsimile or electronic signature shall be treated in all respects as having the same effect as having an original signature.

           

          Section 10.07    Waivers and Amendments; Rights Cumulative. This Agreement may be amended,
            restated, modified, or changed only by a written instrument signed by the Debtors and the Required Backstop Parties (other than a Defaulting Backstop Party); provided that each Backstop Party’s prior
            written consent shall be required for any amendment that would have the effect of: (i) modifying such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage, (ii) increasing the Per Share Price to be paid in respect of the Unsubscribed Shares, (iii)
            changing the terms of or conditions to the payment of the Backstop Fee; (iv) changing any termination rights as set forth in Article 9, (v) changing any provision of this Section 10.07, (vi) changing any provision of the definition of “Required
            Backstop Parties” or (vii) otherwise disproportionately or materially adversely affecting such Backstop Party. The terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than the conditions set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.03, the waiver of which shall
            be governed solely by Article 7) may be waived (x) by the Debtors only by a written instrument executed by the Company and (y) by the Required Backstop Parties only by a written instrument executed by all of the Required Backstop Parties.

           

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Backstop Parties may agree, among themselves, to reallocate their Backstop Commitment Percentages, without any consent or approval of any
            other Party; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt any such agreement among the Backstop Parties shall require the prior written consent or approval of
            all Backstop Parties affected by such reallocation. No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any Party of any
            right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
            or privilege pursuant to this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Party otherwise may
            have at law or in equity.

          Section 10.08    Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only
            and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

           

          Section 10.09    Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would
            occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, plus attorneys’ fees and costs related to such relief, without the necessity
            of posting a bond to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Unless otherwise expressly
            stated in this Agreement, no right or remedy described or provided in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive or to preclude a Party from pursuing other rights and remedies to the extent available under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

           

          Section 10.10    Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none
            of the Parties (other than a Defaulting Backstop Party) will be liable for, and none of the Parties shall claim or seek to recover, any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages or damages for lost profits from a Party other than a
            Defaulting Backstop Party.

           

          Section 10.11    No Reliance. No Backstop Party or any of its Related Parties shall have
            any duties or obligations to the other Backstop Parties in respect of this Agreement, the Plan or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no
            Backstop Party or any of its Related Parties shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties to the other Backstop Parties, (b) no Backstop Party or any of its Related Parties shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or
            exercise any discretionary powers on behalf of any other Backstop Party, (c) (i) no Backstop Party or any of its Related Parties shall have any duty to the other Backstop Parties to obtain, through the exercise of diligence or otherwise, to
            investigate, confirm, or disclose to the other Backstop Parties any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that may have been communicated to or obtained by such Backstop Party or any of its Affiliates in any capacity
            and (ii) no Backstop Party may rely, and confirms that it has not relied, on any due diligence investigation that any other Backstop Party or any Person acting on behalf of such other Backstop Party may have conducted with respect to the
            Company or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective securities and (d) each Backstop Party acknowledges that no other Backstop Party is acting as a placement agent, initial purchaser, underwriter, broker or finder with respect to its
            Unsubscribed Shares or Backstop Commitment Percentage of its Backstop Commitment.

           

          Section 10.12    Publicity. At all times prior to the Closing Date or the earlier
            termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Backstop Parties shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases (and provide each other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such
            release) or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  No Party shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except to the extent
            the disclosing Party determines it is required to do so by applicable Law, in which case such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other Party (or Parties) before issuing any such release or making any such public
            statement.

          Section 10.13    Settlement Discussions. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are part of a
            proposed settlement of a dispute between the Parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating
            thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding, except to the extent filed with, or disclosed to, the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Proceedings (other than a proceeding to approve or enforce the terms of
            this Agreement). The Parties agree that any valuations of the Company’s or other Debtor’s assets or estates, whether implied or otherwise, arising from this Agreement shall not be binding for any other purpose, including determining recoveries
            under the Plan, and that this Agreement does not limit the Parties’ rights regarding valuation.

           

          Section 10.14    No Recourse.  Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and notwithstanding the fact that certain of the Parties may be partnerships or limited liability companies, each Party
            covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any Party’s Affiliates or any of the respective Related Parties of such
            Party or of the Affiliates of such Party (in each case other than the Parties to this Agreement and each of their respective successors and permitted assignees under this Agreement), whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal
            or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of such Related Parties, as such, for
            any obligation or liability of any Party under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation; provided,
            however, nothing in this Section 10.14 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party hereto or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns for any breach or violation of its obligations under this Agreement or
            such other documents or instruments.  For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Parties will have any recourse, be entitled to commence any proceeding or make any claim under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated
            hereby except against any of the Parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns, as applicable.

           

          Section 10.15    Severability.   In the event
            that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the
            remaining provisions contained herein will not be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties hereto will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
