Article
II

CREDIT
FACILITIES

 

2.1         Commitments.

 

(a)          Revolving
Commitment. Each Revolving Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Revolving
Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date
in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, at any time, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided that
after giving effect to any Borrowing, the Revolving Outstanding Amount shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments in
effect at such time. Within the limits of each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, the Borrower may from time to time
borrow, prepay pursuant to Section 2.6, and reborrow under this Section 2.1(a).

 

(b)          Reduction
of Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative
Agent (or such later time as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), to terminate in whole or reduce ratably
in part the unused portion of the Revolving Commitments; provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount
of $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments
pursuant to this Section shall be permanent, with no obligation of the Revolving Lenders to reinstate such Revolving Commitments,
and the Commitment Fees shall thereafter be computed on the basis of the Revolving Commitments, as so reduced. To the extent that
a Revolving Commitment reduction would result in the Revolving Outstanding Amount exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments,
the Borrower shall reduce the Revolving Outstanding Amount such that after giving effect to such reduction such excess has been
eliminated. Such reductions shall be made to the extent necessary by first prepaying the Revolving Advances outstanding
at such time, and second depositing in the Cash Collateral Account an amount of cash equal to 100% of the remaining excess
to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral and applied to satisfy drawings under Letters of Credit as they occur. If
after giving effect to any reduction of the Revolving Commitments under this Section, either the Aggregate Letter of Credit Sublimit
or the Swingline Sublimit exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments as so reduced, the Aggregate Letter of Credit Sublimit, the
Swingline Sublimit or both, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

 

    	 	-35-	 

     

    

 

(c)          Increase
in Commitments.

 

(i)          Increase
in Revolving Commitments. At any time after the Closing Date but prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower may effectuate up
to three separate increases in the aggregate Revolving Commitments (each such increase being a “Revolving Facility Increase”),
by designating either one or more of the existing Revolving Lenders (each of which, in its sole discretion, may determine whether
and to what degree to participate in such Revolving Facility Increase) or one or more other banks or other financial institutions
(reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender) that at the time agree, in the
case of any such bank or financial institution that is an existing Revolving Lender to increase its Revolving Commitment as such
Lender shall so select (an “Increasing Revolving Lender”) and, in the case of any other such bank or financial
institution (an “Additional Revolving Lender”), to become a party to this Agreement; provided, however,
that (A) each such Revolving Facility Increase shall be at least $25,000,000, (B) the aggregate amount of all Revolving Facility
Increases since the Closing Date shall not exceed $250,000,000, and (C) except as otherwise provided below, all Revolving
Commitments and Revolving Advances provided pursuant to a Revolving Facility Increase shall be available on the same terms as those
applicable to the existing Revolving Commitments and Revolving Advances. The sum of the increases in the Revolving Commitments
of the Increasing Revolving Lenders plus the Revolving Commitments of the Additional Revolving Lenders upon giving effect to a
Revolving Facility Increase shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the amount of such Revolving Facility Increase. The Borrower shall
provide prompt notice of any proposed Revolving Facility Increase pursuant to this clause (c)(i) to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders. This Section 2.1(c)(i) shall not be construed to create any obligation on any of the Administrative Agent
or any of the Lenders to advance or to commit to advance any credit to the Borrower or to arrange for any other Person to advance
or to commit to advance any credit to the Borrower.

 

(ii)         Procedure.
A Revolving Facility Increase shall become effective upon (A) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of (1) an agreement
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent signed by the Borrower, each Increasing Revolving Lender
and each Additional Revolving Lender, setting forth the Revolving Commitments, if any, of each such Lender and setting forth the
agreement of each Additional Revolving Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions
hereof binding upon each Lender, (2) such evidence of appropriate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to such
Revolving Facility Increase as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and (3) a certificate of a Responsible Officer
of the Borrower stating that, both before and after giving effect to such Revolving Facility Increase, no Default has occurred
and is continuing, and that all representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement are true and correct in all
material respects (provided that to the extent any representation and warranty is qualified as to “Material Adverse Change”
or otherwise as to “materiality”, such representation and warranty is true and correct in all respects), unless such
representation or warranty relates to an earlier date in which case it remains true and correct as of such earlier date, and the
representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 4.4 shall be deemed to refer
to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 5.2, and
(B) the funding by each Increasing Revolving Lender and Additional Revolving Lender of the Advances to be made by each such
Lender to effect the prepayment requirement set forth in Section 2.6(b)(ii). Notwithstanding any provision contained herein
to the contrary, from and after the date of any Revolving Facility Increase, all calculations and payments of interest on the Advances
shall take into account the actual Revolving Commitment of each Lender and the principal amount outstanding of each Advance made
by such Lender during the relevant period of time.

(iii)        Commitment
Increases Generally. If the margin above the Eurodollar Rate on any Revolving Facility Increase exceeds the Applicable Margin
on the Revolving Credit Facility (the amount of such excess being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”),
then the Applicable Margin then in effect for the Revolving Credit Facility shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential,
effective upon the effectiveness of such Revolving Facility Increase.

 

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

 

2.3         Letters
of Credit.

 

(a)          Commitment
for Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in reliance upon the agreements

(i)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Letter of Credit will be issued, increased, or extended:

 

(1)         (A)
if such issuance, increase, or extension would cause the Letter of Credit Exposure to exceed the Aggregate Letter of Credit Sublimit

the Borrower has delivered to such Issuing Lender (x) a completed and executed Letter of Credit Application and (y) a duly executed

(8)         if
any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender; unless the applicable Issuing Lender has
entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion),
with the Borrower or such Revolving Lender to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure with
respect to such Defaulting Lender (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) or such Potential Defaulting Lender; or

 

    	 	-38-

Alternative Currencies to exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit.

 

(ii)         No
Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue, increase or extend any Letter of Credit if:

policies (now or hereafter in effect) applicable to letters of credit generally;

 

(2)         except
as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated

under such Letter of Credit may be limited;or

 

(5)         solely
with respect to Barclays Bank PLC in its capacity as an Issuing Lender, the Letter of Credit is not a standby Letter of Credit.

 

(c)          Requesting

Application, or if applicable, amendments to such Letter of Credit Applications, given by the Borrower to the applicable Issuing

(d)          Reimbursements
for Letters of Credit; Deemed Borrowings; Funding of Participations. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit
of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit with the accompanying documentation required thereby, an Issuing Lender
shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative
Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the Issuing Lender (at its option)
shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement
for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified the Issuing Lender promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing
that the Borrower will reimburse the Issuing Lender in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under
a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent
of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. No later than 2:00 p.m. (Houston, Texas time), or the
Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency
(each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender an amount equal to any
amount so paid or to be paid by such Issuing Lender under or in respect of such Letter of Credit in the applicable currency. In
the event that (A) a drawing denominated in an Alternative Currency is to be reimbursed in Dollars pursuant to the second sentence
in this Section 2.3(d) and (B) the Dollar amount paid by the Borrower, whether on or after the Honor Date, shall not be
adequate on the date of that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in the Alternative
Currency equal to the drawing, the Borrower agrees, as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify the Issuing Bank for
the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase the Alternative Currency in the full amount of the drawing. In the
event an Issuing Lender makes a payment pursuant to a request for draw presented under a Letter of Credit and such payment is not
timely reimbursed by the Borrower as required by the preceding sentence, then upon notice thereof by such Issuing Lender to the
Administrative Agent the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances in an amount equal
to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount then due and payable by the Borrower to the Issuing Lender (notwithstanding any minimum
size or increment limitations on individual Revolving Advances). Each Revolving Lender (including the Revolving Lender acting as
an Issuing Lender) shall, upon notice from the Administrative Agent that the Borrower has requested or is deemed to have requested
a Revolving Advance pursuant to Section 2.5 and regardless of whether such notice complies with Section 2.5, make
available in Same Day Funds to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Revolving
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such Revolving Advance not later than 1:00 p.m. (Houston, Texas time) on
the Business Day following the date such Revolving Lender receives such notice from the Administrative Agent, whereupon each Revolving
Lender that so makes Same Day Funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Advance to the Borrower in such amount.
If for any reason any payment pursuant to a request for draw presented under a Letter of Credit is not refinanced by a Borrowing
in accordance with this Section 2.3(d) (including as a result of a failure to satisfy one or more conditions set forth in
Section 3.2), the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have requested that each of the applicable Revolving Lenders fund
its risk participation in the relevant Letter of Credit Obligations and each such Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(d) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Issuing Lender. If any such Revolving Lender shall
not have timely made such Revolving Advance or funding of its risk participation available to the Administrative Agent pursuant
to this Section 2.3, such Lender agrees to pay interest thereon for each day from the date such amount was due and payable
to but excluding the date such amount is paid at the lesser of (A) the Overnight Rate for such day for the first three days and
thereafter the interest rate applicable to such Base Rate Advances and (B) the Maximum Rate. The Borrower hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably authorizes, empowers, and directs the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to record and otherwise treat each payment
under a Letter of Credit not immediately reimbursed by the Borrower as a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances to the Borrower.

 

    	 	-40-	 

     

    

 

(e)          Participations.
Upon the date of the issuance or increase of a Letter of Credit (including the deemed issuance of the Existing Letters of Credit
on the Closing Date) without any further action by any Person, the applicable Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold to each
Revolving Lender and each Revolving Lender shall have been deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Lender a participation in
such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage at such date of the aggregate amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and such sale and purchase shall otherwise be in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each such participant Revolving Lender by telex, telephone, or telecopy of each Letter of Credit issued or increased and the actual
dollar amount or Dollar Equivalent amount of such Revolving Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving
Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section and to reimburse the Issuing Lenders for
such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any payment under a Letter of Credit by an Issuing Lender not reimbursed
in full by the Borrower shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any of
the circumstances described in paragraph (f) below, (ii) the occurrence and continuance of a Default, (iii) an adverse change in
the financial condition of any Credit Party, (iv) any failure to meet the conditions in Section 3.2 or (v) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, except for any such circumstance, happening or event
constituting or arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment.

 

(f)           Obligations
Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in respect of each Letter of Credit shall be unconditional
and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, notwithstanding
the following circumstances:

 

(i)          any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Documents or any other Credit Document;

 

(ii)         any
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Document or any other Credit
Document;

 

    	 	-41-	 

     

    

 

(iii)        the
existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right which any Credit Party, any Subsidiary thereof or any other
Person may have at any time against any beneficiary or transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary
or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Lender, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with such Letter
of Credit, this Agreement, the Transactions or in any Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction;

 

(iv)        any
draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect to the extent any Issuing
Lender would not be liable therefor pursuant to the following paragraph (h);

 

(v)         any
loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

 

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

 

(vii)       any
waiver by an Issuing Lender of any requirement that exists for such Issuing Lender’s protection and not the protection of
the Borrower or any waiver by any Issuing Lender which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower;

 

(viii)      any
payment made by an Issuing Lender in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration
date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized
by the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;

 

(ix)         any
adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

 

(x)          any
other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

 

THE BORROWER SHALL PROMPTLY
EXAMINE A COPY OF EACH LETTER OF CREDIT AND EACH AMENDMENT THERETO THAT IS DELIVERED TO IT AND, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CLAIM OF NONCOMPLIANCE
WITH THE BORROWER’S INSTRUCTIONS OR OTHER IRREGULARITY, THE BORROWER WILL IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY THE APPLICABLE ISSUING LENDER.

 

Nothing contained in this paragraph (f)
shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any remedies of the Borrower in connection with the Letters of Credit, including those
specified in Section 2.3(h).

 

    	 	-42-	 

     

    

 

(g)          Cash
Collateralization.

 

(i)          The
Borrower shall deposit into the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with paragraph (ii) below cash in an amount equal to 103%
of the Letter of Credit Exposure of all outstanding Letters of Credit, if the Revolving Commitments are terminated pursuant to
Section 2.1(b) or Article VII, on the date of such termination.

 

(ii)         If
at any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender, promptly upon the request of the Administrative
Agent or an Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount equal to the Fronting
Exposure at the time (determined for the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral
provided by any Defaulting Lender).

 

(iii)        If
the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Letter of Credit Obligations attributable to all Letters of
Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit
then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such Letter
of Credit Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to the portion of such Letter of Credit Obligations that exceeds 100% of the
Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect.

 

(h)          Liability
of Issuing Lenders. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter
of Credit with respect to its or any Credit Party’s use of such Letter of Credit. Neither an Issuing Lender nor any of its
respective officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for:

 

(i)          the
use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any proceeds therefrom or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee
in connection therewith;

 

(ii)         the
validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in
any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; or

 

(iii)        any
other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit (including
such Issuing Lender’s own negligence),

 

except that the Borrower shall have a claim
against an Issuing Lender, and such Issuing Lender shall be liable to, and shall promptly pay to, the Borrower, to the extent of
any direct, as opposed to special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower
proves were caused by (A) such Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented
under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (B) such Issuing Lender’s willful failure to make
lawful payment under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificate strictly complying with the terms
and conditions of such Letter of Credit, in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable
judgment. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face
to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

 

    	 	-43-	 

     

    

 

(i)           Cash
Collateral Account.

 

(i)          If
the Borrower is required to deposit funds in the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to the terms hereof, then the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent shall establish the Cash Collateral Account and the Borrower shall execute any documents and agreements, including
the Administrative Agent’s form assignment of deposit accounts, that the Administrative Agent requests in connection therewith
to establish the Cash Collateral Account and grant the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders a first priority
security interest in such account and the funds therein and giving the Administrative Agent “control” over the Cash
Collateral Account as such term is defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code. The Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative
Agent and grants the Administrative Agent a security interest in the Cash Collateral Account, whenever established, all funds held
in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time, and all proceeds thereof as security for the payment of the Letter of Credit
Obligations. Except as provided in Section 2.3(i)(ii) below, the Borrower shall have no access and no rights of withdrawal
from the Cash Collateral Account.

 

(ii)         Funds
held in the Cash Collateral Account shall be held as cash collateral for obligations with respect to Letters of Credit. Such funds
shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent at the request of an Issuing Lender to any reimbursement or other obligations
under the applicable Letters of Credit that exist or occur. If any surplus funds are held in the Cash Collateral Account above
the amount required by this Agreement during the existence of an Event of Default the Administrative Agent may (A) hold such surplus
funds in the Cash Collateral Account as cash collateral for the Obligations or (B) apply such surplus funds to any Obligations
in any manner directed by the Majority Lenders. If no Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent shall immediately release
to the Borrower at the Borrower’s written request (1) any funds held in the Cash Collateral Account in excess of 103% of
the amount of Letter of Credit Exposure then required to be Cash Collateralized or (2) any Cash Collateral provided to reduce Fronting
Exposure promptly following the elimination of such applicable Fronting Exposure (including by any Defaulting Lender ceasing to
be a Defaulting Lender, by any Potential Defaulting Lender ceasing to be a Potential Defaulting Lender, or by any Defaulting Lender
or Potential Defaulting Lender ceasing to be a Revolving Lender).

 

(iii)        The
Administrative Agent shall invest the funds in the Cash Collateral Account in an interest-bearing account or other investment approved
by the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the
Cash Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent
to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property or in accordance with the Borrower’s instructions or as otherwise
approved by the Borrower, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary
steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any such funds.

(j)          Letters
of Credit Issued for the Parent or Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is
in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, the Parent or a Subsidiary thereof, the Borrower shall be obligated
(jointly and severally with the Parent or such Subsidiary, as applicable) to reimburse each Issuing Lender hereunder for any and
all drawings under such Letter of Credit issued (or deemed issued) hereunder. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance
of Letters of Credit for the account of the Parent or any one or more Subsidiaries thereof inures to the benefit of the Borrower,
and that the Borrower’s businesses derive substantial benefits from the issuance of such Letters of Credit and the businesses
of the Parent and such Subsidiaries.

 

(k)          Existing
Letters of Credit. The parties hereto agree that effective as of the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be
deemed to have been issued under, and shall be governed by the terms and conditions of, this Agreement.

 

2.4         Swingline
Advances.

 

(a)          The
Swingline Facility. On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, from time to time on any Business Day from the Closing Date until the last Business Day occurring before the Maturity
Date, make Swingline Advances to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Swingline Sublimit at any time,
provided that (i) after giving effect to such Swingline Advance, the Revolving Outstanding Amount shall not exceed the aggregate
Revolving Commitments in effect at such time, (ii) no Swingline Advance may mature after the Maturity Date, and (iii) no Swingline
Advance shall be made by the Swingline Lender if the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 have not been met as of the
date of such Swingline Advance. The Borrower agrees that the giving of the applicable Notice of Borrowing and the acceptance by
the Borrower of the proceeds of such Swingline Advance shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that on the
date of such Swingline Advance the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 have been met. Immediately upon the making of
a Swingline Advance, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from
the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Advance in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of such Swingline
Advance.

 

(b)          Evidence
of Indebtedness. The indebtedness of the Borrower to the Swingline Lender resulting from Swingline Advances shall be evidenced
as set forth in Section 2.2.

 

(c)          Prepayment.
Within the limits expressed in this Agreement, amounts advanced pursuant to Section 2.4(a) may from time to time be borrowed,
prepaid without penalty, and reborrowed at the sole and absolute discretion of the Swingline Lender. If the aggregate outstanding
amount of Swingline Advances ever exceeds the Swingline Sublimit, the Borrower shall, upon receipt of written notice of such condition
from the Swingline Lender and to the extent of such excess, prepay to the Swingline Lender the outstanding principal of the Swingline
Advances such that such excess is eliminated.

 

    	 	-45-	 

     

    

 

(d)          Refinancing
of Swingline Advances.

 

(i)          The
Swingline Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Revolving Advance consisting of
Base Rate Advances in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swingline Advances
then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing for
purposes hereof), without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.5(c) for the principal amount of Borrowings
but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 3.2. The Swingline
Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Notice of Borrowing promptly after delivering such notice to the
Administrative Agent. Regardless of whether the request for such Revolving Advance complies with Section 2.5, each
Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Notice of Borrowing available
to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Lending
Office not later than 1:00 p.m. (Houston, Texas, time) on the day specified in such Notice of Borrowing, whereupon, subject to
Section 2.4(d)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Advance
consisting of Base Rate Advances to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to
the Swingline Lender.

 

(ii)         If
for any reason any Swingline Advance cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.4(d)(i), the applicable
Notice of Borrowing submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender
that each of the applicable Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Advances and each such Revolving
Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(d)(i) shall
be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

 

(iii)        If
any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required
to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4(d) by the time specified in Section
2.4(d)(i), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent),
on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in
effect. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect
to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)        Each
Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Advances or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Advances
pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A)
any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Swingline Lender,
the Borrower, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence,
event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make
Advances pursuant to Section 2.4(d)(i) (but not its obligation to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Advances)
is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.2. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair
the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Swingline Advances, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(e)          Repayment
of Participations.

 

(i)          At
any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Advance, if the Swingline Lender
receives any payment on account of such Swingline Advance, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable
Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which
such Revolving Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender.

 

(ii)         If
any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Advance is required to be returned
by the Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.11 (including pursuant to any settlement entered
into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swingline Lender its Applicable Percentage
thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned,
at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of
the Swingline Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations
and the termination of this Agreement.

 

(f)           Interest
for Account of Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swingline
Advances. Until each Lender funds its Revolving Advances or risk participation pursuant to this Section to refinance such Revolving
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the applicable Swingline Advances, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall
be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender.

 

(g)          Payments
Directly to Swingline Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Advances
directly to the Swingline Lender.

 

(h)          Method
of Borrowing. Each request for a Swingline Advance shall be made pursuant to telephone notice to the Swingline Lender given
no later than 1:00 p.m. (Houston, Texas time) on the date of the proposed Swingline Advance, promptly confirmed by a completed
and executed Notice of Borrowing facsimiled to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender will promptly
make such Swingline Advance available to the Borrower at its account with the Administrative Agent.

 

    	 	-47-	 

     

    

 

(i)           Discretionary
Nature of the Swingline Facility. Notwithstanding any terms to the contrary contained herein, the swingline facility provided
herein (A) is an uncommitted facility and the Swingline Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make Swingline Advances, and
(ii) may be terminated at any time by the Swingline Lender upon written notice by the Swingline Lender to the Borrower.

 

2.5         Borrowings;
Procedures and Limitations.

 

(a)          Notice
of Borrowings. Each Borrowing shall be made pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing and given by the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (Houston, Texas time) on the third Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing in the
case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Advances, and by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.
(Houston, Texas time) on the same day as the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate
Advances. The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender prompt notice on the day of receipt of timely Notice of Borrowing
of such proposed Borrowing by facsimile. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be by facsimile specifying (i) the requested date of such
Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the requested Type and Class of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) the
aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (iv) if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Advances, the Interest Period for such
Advances, (v) whether, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the aggregate amount of Available Cash would exceed $200,000,000,
(vi) the amount and date of receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of issuances of, or capital contributions on account of, Equity
Interests of the Parent excluded from the calculation of “Available Cash” pursuant to clause (d) of the definition
thereof and the intended purposes of such Net Cash Proceeds (which shall be a purpose permitted under this Agreement), and (vii) at
any time prior to the termination of the Non-Extended Facility, the amount of any unused commitments to advance loans under the
Non-Extended Facility. In the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Advances, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each applicable Lender of the applicable interest rate under Section 2.9, as applicable. Each Lender shall before
11:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Advances,
and before 1:00 p.m. (Houston, Texas time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base
Rate Advances, make available for the account of its Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section
9.7, or such other location as the Administrative Agent may specify by notice to the Lenders, in Same Day Funds, such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of such Borrowing. Promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and provided that
the applicable conditions set forth in Article III have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available
to the Borrower at its account with the Administrative Agent.

 

(b)          Conversions
and Continuations. In order to elect to Convert or Continue Revolving Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing under
this Section, the Borrower shall deliver an irrevocable Notice of Conversion or Continuation to the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent’s office no later than 2:00 p.m. (Houston, Texas time) (i) at least one Business Day in advance
of the proposed Conversion date in the case of a Conversion of such Revolving Advances to Base Rate Advances, and (ii) at
least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion or Continuation date in the case of a Conversion to, or a Continuation
of, Eurodollar Advances. Each such Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be in writing or facsimile, specifying (A) the
requested Conversion or Continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the Borrowing amount and Type of the Revolving
Advances to be Converted or Continued, (C) whether a Conversion or Continuation is requested, and if a Conversion, into what
Type of Revolving Advances, and (D) in the case of a Conversion to, or a Continuation of, Eurodollar Advances, the requested
Interest Period. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation under this paragraph, the Administrative Agent
shall provide each applicable Lender with a copy thereof and, in the case of a Conversion to or a Continuation of Eurodollar Advances,
notify each applicable Lender of the applicable interest rate under Section 2.9 as applicable. For purposes other than
the conditions set forth in Section 3.2, the portion of Revolving Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing that are
Converted to Advances of another Type shall constitute a new Borrowing.

 

    	 	-48-	 

     

    

 

(c)          Certain
Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in paragraphs (a) and (b) above:

 

(i)          Each
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $3,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof in
the case of Eurodollar Advances and in an aggregate amount not less than $500,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess
thereof in the case of Base Rate Advances.

 

(ii)         Each
Borrowing shall (A) consist of Advances of the same Type and Class made, Converted or continued on the same day by the Lenders
according to their Applicable Percentage, and (B) denominated only in Dollars.

 

(iii)        At
no time shall there be more than eight Interest Periods applicable to outstanding Eurodollar Advances.

 

(iv)        The
Borrower may not select Eurodollar Advances for any Borrowing to be made, Converted or Continued if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing.

 

(v)         If
any Lender shall, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Advances, notify
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Legal Requirement
makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its
Lending Office to perform its obligations under this Agreement to make Eurodollar Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Advances,
or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or take deposits
of, Dollars in the applicable interbank market, then (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such Borrowing
shall be made as a Base Rate Advance of such Lender, (2) such Base Rate Advance shall be considered part of the same Borrowing
and interest on such Base Rate Advance shall be due and payable at the same time that interest on the Eurodollar Advances comprising
the remainder of such Borrowing shall be due and payable, and (3) any obligation of such Lender to make, Continue, or Convert to,
Eurodollar Advances, including in connection with such requested Borrowing, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

 

    	 	-49-	 

     

    

 

(vi)        If
the Administrative Agent is unable to determine the Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Advances comprising any requested Borrowing,
the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Advances for such Borrowing or for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no
longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Advance.

 

(vii)       If
the Majority Lenders shall, at least one Business Day before the date of any requested Borrowing, notify the Administrative Agent
that (A) the Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Advances comprising such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders
of making or funding their respective Eurodollar Advances, as the case may be, for such Borrowing, or (B) deposits are not being
offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for Dollars for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such
Eurodollar Advance, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders and the right of the
Borrower to select Eurodollar Advances for such Borrowing or for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance
comprising such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Advance.

 

(viii)      If
the Borrower shall fail to select the duration or Continuation of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Advance in accordance
with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1 and paragraph (a)
or (b) above, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the applicable Lenders and such affected
Advances will be made available to the applicable Borrower on the date of such Borrowing as Eurodollar Advances with a one month
Interest Period or, if such affected Advances are existing Advances, will be Converted into Base Rate Advances at the end of the
Interest Period then in effect.

 

(ix)         Swingline
Advances may not be Converted or Continued.

 

    	 	-50-	 

     

    

 

(x)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in clauses (v), (vi) and (vii) above, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination
(such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) or the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Majority
Lenders have made the determination, that (A) the circumstances described in clause (v), (vi) or (vii) have
arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (B) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer
a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or
(C) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any Governmental Authority
having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date
after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the
U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent may, to the extent practicable (in consultation
with the Borrower and as determined by the Administrative Agent to be generally in accordance with similar situations in other
transactions in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally), establish
a replacement interest rate (the “Replacement Rate”) reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, in which case, the
Replacement Rate shall, subject to the next two sentences, replace such applicable interest rate for all purposes under the Credit
Documents unless and until (1) an event described in clause (v), (vi) or (vii) occurs with respect to
the Replacement Rate or (2) the Administrative Agent (or the Majority Lenders through the Administrative Agent) notifies the Borrower
that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Advances bearing interest
at the Replacement Rate. In connection with the establishment and application of the Replacement Rate, this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents shall be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as may be necessary or
appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this clause (x). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, Section 9.2), such
amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative
Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the delivery of such amendment to the Lenders, written notices from
such Lenders that in the aggregate constitute Majority Lenders, with each such notice stating that such Lender objects to such
amendment. To the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection with this clause (x),
the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent
such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise
reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower (it being understood that any such modification
by the Administrative Agent shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Lenders).

 

(d)          Notices
Irrevocable. Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

 

(e)          Lender
Obligations Several. The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve
any other Lender of its obligation, if any, to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing. No Lender shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

 

(f)           Funding
by Lenders; Administrative Agent’ Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Advances, or prior to the time of any Borrowing of Base Rate Advances,
that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required in Section 2.5
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has
not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date
of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate and (B) in
the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the requested Borrowing. If the Borrower and
such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its
share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance
included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a
Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender
or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (f) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

    	 	-51-	 

     

    

 

2.6         Prepayments.
The Borrower shall not have any right to prepay any principal amount of any Advance except as provided in this Section 2.6.

 

(a)          Optional.
The Borrower may elect to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium except as set forth in Section
2.11 and after giving, by 2:00 p.m. (Houston, Texas time) (i) in the case of Eurodollar Advances, at least three
Business Days’ or (ii) in the case of Base Rate Advances, one Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of such prepayment. If any such notice is given, the Borrower shall
prepay Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
amount specified in such notice, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid
in the case of Base Rate Advances and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11 as a result of
such prepayment being made on such date; provided that each optional partial prepayment of a Borrowing shall be in a minimum amount
not less than $3,000,000 and in multiple integrals of $1,000,000 in excess thereof in the case of Eurodollar Advances and in an
aggregate amount not less than $500,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof in the case of Base Rate Advances.

 

(b)          Mandatory.

 

(i)          On
any date that the Revolving Outstanding Amount exceeds the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall, within
one Business Day, to the extent of such excess, first, prepay to the Swingline Lender the outstanding principal amount of
the Swingline Advances, second, prepay to the Revolving Lenders on a pro rata basis the outstanding principal amount of
the Revolving Advances and third, make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide Cash Collateral in the amount
of such excess for the Letter of Credit Exposure.

 

(ii)         If
a Revolving Facility Increase is effected as permitted under Section 2.1(c)(i), the Borrower shall prepay any Revolving
Advances outstanding on such Increase Date to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Advances ratable to reflect
the revised Applicable Percentages arising from such Revolving Facility Increase. Any prepayment made by the Borrower in accordance
with this clause (b)(ii) may be made with the proceeds of Revolving Advances made by all the Revolving Lenders in connection
with the Revolving Facility Increase occurring simultaneously with the prepayment.

 

    	 	-52-	 

     

    

 

(iii)        Within
five Business Days of the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds with respect to any Material Disposition, the Borrower shall, prepay
the Advances in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof in excess of $25,000,000 to be applied first,
to prepay to the Swingline Lender the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Advances, and second, to prepay to the
Revolving Lenders on a pro rata basis the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Advances (without a corresponding reduction
of the Revolving Commitments), and third, if any Event of Default then exists, to make deposits into the Cash Collateral
Account to provide cash collateral in the amount of such excess for the Letter of Credit Exposure; provided, however, that
so long as no Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, the Borrower shall have the option to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds
within 365 days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds from such Material Disposition in (x) assets of the type used in the
business of the Parent and its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date, (y) to acquire any Person that owns assets described in clause
(x), or (z) capital expenditures in connection with assets described in clause (x). In the event that such Net Cash
Proceeds are not reinvested by the Borrower prior to the last day of such 365 day period, the Borrower shall prepay the Advances
in the order set forth in the preceding sentence.

 

(iv)        With
respect to each Advance as to which a Use of Proceeds Certificate is required to have been delivered hereunder, if and to the extent
the Borrower has not applied the proceeds of such Advance for the Acceptable Business Purpose specified in such Use of Proceeds
Certificate by the fifth Business Day following the date such Advance is made, then on the next Business Day the Borrower shall
prepay the Advances in an aggregate principal amount equal to such unused proceeds to be applied first, to prepay to the
Swingline Lender the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Advances, and second, to prepay to the Revolving Lenders
on a pro rata basis the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Advances (without a corresponding reduction of the Revolving
Commitments), and third, if any Event of Default then exists, to make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide
cash collateral in the amount of such excess for the Letter of Credit Exposure.

 

(c)          Interest;
Costs. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid to
the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11 as a result of such prepayment
being made on such date.

 

2.7         Repayment.

 

(a)          Revolving
Advances. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of and ratable benefit
of each Revolving Lender the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Advances on the Maturity Date.

 

(b)          Swingline
Advances. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Swingline Lender (i) the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of all Swingline Advances on each Swingline Payment Date, and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline
Advances outstanding on the Maturity Date.

 

    	 	-53-	 

     

    

 

2.8         Fees.

 

(a)          Commitment
Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (subject to Section
2.17(a)(iii)) a Commitment Fee on the average daily amount by which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment exceeds
such Revolving Lender’s outstanding Revolving Advances plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Letter of Credit
Exposure at the per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Commitment Fees for such period. The Commitment Fee is due quarterly
in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year commencing on June 30, 2018, and on the Maturity Date.

Commitment.

 

(b)          Fees
for Letters of Credit. The Borrower agrees to pay the following (subject to Section 2.17(a)(iii)): (i) to the Administrative
Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Revolving Lenders a per annum letter of credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued hereunder
in an amount equal to the Applicable Margin for Borrowings consisting of Eurodollar Advances on the Dollar Equivalent of the face
amount of such Letter of Credit for the period such Letter of Credit is outstanding, which fee shall be due and payable quarterly
in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, and on the Maturity Date; provided, however, that
any letter of credit fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit shall be
payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other Revolving Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments
in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iv), with
the balance of such fee, if any, being retained by the Borrower for its own account or, to the extent any Fronting Exposure shall
then be outstanding, being payable to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account to the extent such fee relates to the amount
of such Fronting Exposure; (ii) to the applicable Issuing Lender, a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit as agreed in writing
between the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Lender; and (iii) to the applicable Issuing Lender such other usual and customary
fees associated with any issuances, transfers, amendments, drawings, or negotiations of any Letter of Credit, which fees shall
be due and payable as requested by such Issuing Lender in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s then current fee policy.
The Borrower shall have no right to any refund of letter of credit fees previously paid by the Borrower, including any refund claimed
because the Borrower cancels any Letter of Credit prior to its expiration date.

 

(c)          Other
Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the fees to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers as set forth in the Fee Letter.

 

(d)          Generally.

and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the fees payable pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(ii) shall be paid directly
to the applicable Issuing Lender. Once paid, absent manifest error, none of these fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

2.10       Illegality.

 

(a)          If
any Lender shall notify the Borrower that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation
makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its
Lending Office to perform its obligations under this Agreement to make, maintain, or fund any Eurodollar Advances of such Lender
then outstanding hereunder, (a) the Borrower shall, no later than 11:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas, time) (i) if not prohibited
by law, on the last day of the Interest Period for each outstanding Eurodollar Advance, or (ii) if required by such notice,
on the second Business Day following its receipt of such notice, prepay all of the Eurodollar Advances of such Lender then outstanding,
together with accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any, required to
be paid pursuant to Section 2.11 as a result of such prepayment being made on such date, (b) such Lender shall simultaneously
make a Base Rate Advance to the Borrower on such date in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Advances
prepaid to such Lender, and (c) the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Advances from such Lender for any subsequent
Borrowing shall be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer
exist.

 

(b)          If,
in any applicable jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender or any Designated Lender determines
that any law or regulation has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful,
for the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender or its applicable Designated Lender to (i) perform any of its obligations
hereunder or under any other Credit Document, (ii) to fund or maintain its participation in any Advance or Letter of Credit or
(iii) issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest or fees with respect to any Advance or Letter of Credit, such Person shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then, upon the Administrative Agent notifying the Borrower, and until such notice by
such Person is revoked, any obligation of such Person to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest or fees with respect to
any such Advance or Letter of Credit shall be suspended, and to the extent required by applicable Law, cancelled. Upon receipt
of such notice, the Credit Parties shall, (A) repay that Person’s participation in the Advances, Letters of Credit or other
applicable Obligations on the last day of the Interest Period for each Advance, Letter of Credit or other Obligation occurring
after the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower or, if earlier, the date specified by such Person in the notice delivered
to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by applicable law), (B)
to the extent applicable to any Issuing Lender, Cash Collateralize that portion of applicable Letter of Credit Obligations comprised
of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized and (C) take all reasonable
actions requested by such Person to mitigate or avoid such illegality.

 

2.11       Breakage
Costs.

 

(a)          Funding
Losses. In the case of any Borrowing which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Advances,
the Borrower hereby indemnifies each Lender against any loss, out-of-pocket cost, or expense incurred by such Lender as a result
of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions
set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding any loss of anticipated profits), cost, or
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Eurodollar
Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Eurodollar Advance as a result of such failure, is not made
on such date.

 

    	 	-56-	 

     

    

 

(b)          Prepayment
or Late Payment Losses. If (i) any payment of principal of any Eurodollar Advance is made other than on the last day of
the Interest Period for such Advance as a result of any prepayment, payment pursuant to Section 2.6, the acceleration of
the maturity of the Obligations, or for any other reason, (ii) the Borrower fails to make a principal or interest payment
with respect to any Eurodollar Advance on the date such payment is due and payable, or (iii) any failure by the Borrower to make
payment of any Advance or reimbursement of drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) on its scheduled due date
or payment thereof in a different currency than required; the Borrower shall, within 10 days of any written demand sent by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of a Lender to the Borrower, pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Lender any
amounts determined in good faith by such Lender to be required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, out-of-pocket
costs, or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or nonpayment, including, without limitation, any
loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost, or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits
or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.

 

(c)          Assignment
Losses. If any assignment of any Eurodollar Advance is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance
as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to clause (b) of Section 2.16, the Borrower shall, within three
(3) Business Days of any written demand sent by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender that is the assignee thereof to
the Borrower, pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Lender any amounts determined by such Lender to be required
to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, out-of-pocket costs, or expenses (other than any anticipated lost profits)
which it may reasonably incur as a result of such assignment, including, without limitation, any such loss, cost, or expense incurred
by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.

 

(d)          Certificate.
A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section
2.11 shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

2.12       Increased
Costs.

 

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

 

(i)          impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated
by Section 2.12(e)) or any Issuing Lender;

 

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

 

    	 	-57-	 

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(d)          Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall
not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower
shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any reserve, tax, lost compensation,
increased costs or reductions suffered or incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender,
as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the cause giving rise to such reserve, tax, lost compensation, increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if
the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall
be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

    	 	-58-	 

     

    

 

(e)          Additional
Reserve Requirement. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender Party, (i) as long as such Lender Party shall be required to maintain
reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits (currently known as Eurocurrency
Liabilities), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Advance equal to the actual costs of such reserves
allocated to such Advance by such Lender Party (as determined by such Lender Party in good faith, which determination shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender Party shall be required to comply with any reserve
ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of
the maintenance of the Revolving Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar Advances, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage
per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Revolving
Commitments or Advances by such Lender Party (as determined by such Lender Party in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive
in the absence of manifest error), which in each case, shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such
Advance.

 

2.13       Payments
and Computations.

 

(a)          Payments.
All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment
or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed in the currency in which such amount is owed and
in Same Day Funds. Subject to Section 2.5(c), each payment of any Advance pursuant to this Section or any other provision
of this Agreement shall be made in a manner such that all Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing are paid in whole or ratably
in part.

 

(b)          Payments
by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or Issuing
Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each
of the applicable Lenders or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith
on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Lender, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the
Overnight Rate. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this
subsection (b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

    	 	-59-	 

     

    

 

(c)          Payment
Procedures. The Borrower shall make each payment of any amount under this Agreement and under any other Credit Document prior
to the time expressly required hereunder (or, if no such time is expressly required, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas
time) for payments made in Dollars and the relevant time specified by the Issuing Lender of Administrative Agent, as applicable,
for payments made in Alternative Currencies) on the day when due to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s
address (or such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Borrower) in Same Day Funds; provided
however that payments specified to be made directly to an Issuing Lender or any other Person, including amounts payable solely
to any specific Lender Party pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12,
2.14, and 9.1 but after taking into account payments effected pursuant to Section 2.13(f), shall be made directly
to the Persons entitled thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any
payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Legal Requirement
from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar
Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter, and in any event prior
to the close of business on the day any timely payment is made, cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal,
interest or fees ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage to the Lenders for the account of their respective
Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account
of its Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon receipt of other amounts
due solely to the Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender, or a specific Lender, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute such amounts to the appropriate party to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(d)          Non-Business
Day Payments. Whenever any payment shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made
on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of
interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar
Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

 

(e)          Computations.
All computations of interest based on the Prime Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365/366
days and on the basis of a year of 360 days for all other interest and fees, in each case for the actual number of days (including
the first day, but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination
by the Administrative Agent of an amount of interest or fees shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

 

(f)           Sharing
of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect
of any principal of or interest on any of its Advances or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment
of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its
pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative
Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations or assignments in the Advances and such other
obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective
Advances and other amounts owing them; provided that:

 

    	 	-60-	 

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

2.14       Taxes.

 

(a)          Defined
Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable
Legal Requirement” includes FATCA.

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	-61-	 

     

    

 

(d)          Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of
any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, except as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Recipient,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate
as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(e)          Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i)
any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative
Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to
such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant
Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative
Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount
of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each
Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under
any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due
to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

 

(f)           Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this
Section 2.14, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of any available receipt
issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(g)          Status
of Lenders.

 

(i)          Each
Recipient shall establish on or prior to the Closing Date or any other date on which such Recipient becomes party to this Agreement
an exemption from withholding Tax as of such date under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is a resident for Tax
purposes and the United States, or any treaty to which such jurisdictions are a party, with respect to payments made under any
Credit Document. Each Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by
applicable Legal Requirement or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirement or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as
will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Recipient, if requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirement
or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other
than such documentation set forth in Section 2.14(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required
if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.

 

    	 	-62-	 

     

    

 

(ii)         Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing:

 

		(A)	any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a party to this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed copies of IRS
Form W-9 certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

 

		(B)	any Lender that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent
it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested
by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following would be applicable if the
Borrower were a resident of the United States:

 

a.           duly
completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E;

 

b.           duly
completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

c.           (x)
a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B)
of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S.
Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

 

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

 

    	 	-63-	 

     

    

 

		(C)	any Lender that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent
it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested
by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed copies of any other form prescribed by
applicable Legal Requirement as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed,
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Legal Requirement to permit the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

		(D)	if a payment made to a Recipient under any Credit Document
would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable
reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirement (including
as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations
under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine
the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include
any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

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

 

    	 	-64-	 

     

    

 

(h)          Treatment
of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund
of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to
the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such
indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by
the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to
pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in
a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and
giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional
amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to
make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying
party or any other Person.

 

(i)           Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

 

2.15       Designated
Lender. Each of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender and each Lender at its option may make any Advances or issue any
Letter of Credit or otherwise perform its obligations hereunder through any Lending Office (each, a “Designated Lender”);
provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay any Advance or Letter
of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided further, that, in the case of an Affiliate or branch
of a Lender, such provisions that would be applicable with respect to Advances or Letters of Credit actually provided by such Affiliate
or branch of such Lender shall apply to such Affiliate or branch of such Lender to the same extent as such Lender; provided
further that, for the purposes only of voting in connection with any Credit Document, any participation by any Designated Lender
in any outstanding Advances or Letters of Credit shall be deemed a participation of such Lender or Issuing Lender. Any Designated
Lender shall be considered a Lender.

 

2.16       Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

 

(a)          Designation
of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires the Borrower to
pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant
to Section  2.14, or suspends its obligation to continue, or Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Advances pursuant to
Section 2.5(c)(v) or Section 2.10, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts
to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Credit Extensions hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.14, as the
case may be, in the future or if applicable, would avoid the effect of Section 2.5(c)(v) or Section 2.10, and (ii) would
not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower
hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

    	 	-65-	 

     

    

 

(b)          Replacement
of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12 or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified
Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14,
or suspends its obligation to continue, or Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Advances pursuant to Section 2.5(c)(v) or Section
2.10, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section
2.16(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and
effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.6), all of its interests,
rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.14) and obligations under
this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may
be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) (such assignee being referred to as a “Replacement Lender”);
provided that:

 

(i)          such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advance and funded participations in
Letter of Credit Obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the
other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.11) from the Replacement Lender (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

 

(ii)         in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

 

(iii)        such
assignment does not conflict with applicable Legal Requirement; and

 

(iv)        in
the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Replacement Lender shall have
consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

 

A Lender shall not be required to make any
such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances
entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

2.17       Defaulting
Lenders.

 

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

 

    	 	-66-	 

     

    

 

(i)          Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect
to this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.2.

 

(ii)         Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 2.6 or 2.7, or otherwise,
and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 7.4), shall
be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

 

first, to the payment of any
amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

 

second, to the payment on
a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to an Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder;

 

third, to Cash Collateralize
the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.18;

 

fourth, as the Borrower may
request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender
has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;

 

fifth, if so determined by
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order
to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement
and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect
to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.18;

 

sixth, to the payment of any
amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement

 

seventh, so long as no Default
or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
obligations under this Agreement; and

 

    	 	-67-	 

     

    

 

eighth, to such Defaulting
Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal
amount of any Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate
share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in
Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and Letter of Credit
Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, or
Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations
in Letter of Credit and Swingline Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments without
giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv).

 

Any payments, prepayments
or other amounts paid or payable to any Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by such Defaulting Lender
or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting
Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents to the foregoing.

 

(iii)        Certain
Fees.

 

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

 

(2)         Each
Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender
only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash
Collateral pursuant to Section 2.18.

 

(3)         With
respect to any Letter of Credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above, the Borrower
shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect
to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations or Swingline Advances that has been reallocated
to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, as applicable,
the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s or
Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any
such fee.

 

    	 	-68-	 

     

    

 

(iv)        Reallocation
of Ratable Portions to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter
of Credit Obligations and Swingline Advances shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective
Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x)
the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have
otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such
conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the outstanding principal amount of Revolving
Advances of any Non-Defaulting Lender plus such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of Letter of Credit Exposure
to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 9.20, no reallocation hereunder shall
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having
become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased
exposure following such reallocation.

 

(v)         Cash
Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Advances. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially,
be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first,
prepay Swingline Advances in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize
the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18.

 

(b)          Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender and Issuing Lenders agree in writing that a
Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective
date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any
Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other
Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and
unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Advances to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Revolving
Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender;
provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly
agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any
claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

(c)          New
Swingline Advances/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required
to fund any Swingline Advances unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline
Advance and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend, or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied
that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

 

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

 

    	 	-69-	 

     

    

 

(a)          Grant
of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest
in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter
of Credit Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that
Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders as herein
provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly
upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient
such that the total amount of Cash Collateral that is not subject to any such third party’s right or claim (as reasonably
determined by the Administrative Agent) is equal to or greater than the Minimum Collateral Amount (after giving effect to any Cash
Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

 

(b)          Application.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.18 or
Section 2.17 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation
to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations or any deemed Borrowing under Section 2.3(d) (including,
as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was
so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

 

(c)          Termination
of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Lender’s Fronting
Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18 following (i) the elimination
of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii)
the determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided
that, subject to Section 2.17 the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuing Lender may agree that Cash Collateral
shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

warranties.

of Default. As of the date of the Credit Extension, there shall exist no Default, and the making of such Credit Extension would
not cause a Default.

for such Letter of Credit to be denominated in the relevant Alternative Currency.

date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to

pending or, to the Parent’s knowledge, threatened against the Parent or any Subsidiary, at law, in equity, or in admiralty,
or by or before any Governmental Authority, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Additionally,
except as disclosed in writing to the Lender Parties, there is no pending or, to the best of the knowledge of the Parent, threatened
action or proceeding instituted against the Parent or any Subsidiary which seeks to adjudicate the Parent or any Subsidiary as
bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition

has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan for which there is any unsatisfied withdrawal liability, and
(g) neither the Parent nor any member of the Controlled Group during the last six years has been a participating employer in a
Multiemployer Plan during the last six years. Based upon GAAP existing as of the date of this Agreement and current factual circumstances,

post-retirement benefits to be provided, except as required by law, to the current and former employees of the Parent or any Subsidiary
under Plans that are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Change.

The Parent shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, carry insurance (which may be carried by the Parent on a consolidated basis)
or maintain appropriate risk management programs in such amounts, covering such risks and liabilities and with such deductibles
or self-insurance retentions as are reasonable or customary given the nature of its business, its ability to self-insure, the circumstances

Property and business, except in any case where the failure to so comply or maintain could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Change, provided that this Section 5.4 shall not prevent the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries from,
in good faith and with reasonable diligence, contesting the validity or application of any such laws or regulations by appropriate
legal proceedings for which adequate reserves have been established.

last date any of such actions have been taken (as demonstrated by a duly executed Compliance Certificate dated as of such date
with respect to the Guarantee Ratios which the Parent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent within such Guarantee Ratio Cure
Period). For the avoidance of doubt, failure to comply with any Guarantee Ratio shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default
so long as the Parent and its Subsidiaries shall have taken the actions specified in either clause (i) or (ii) above
(or any combination of the two) prior to the expiration of the Guarantee Ratio Cure Period.

be released as Guarantors under the Credit Documents, so long as (i) the Borrower requests such release (A) within 20 days (or
such longer period of time permitted by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) after the deadline for delivering such
Compliance Certificate or (B) in connection with such Surplus Guarantor ceasing to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction

on the first day of the relevant period for testing such compliance (as demonstrated in a duly executed Compliance Certificate
with respect to the Guarantee Ratios dated as of the date of such release), and (iii) no Default or Event of Default then exists
or would be caused thereby.

on the first day of the relevant period for testing such compliance (as demonstrated in a duly executed Compliance Certificate
with respect to the Guarantee Ratios dated as of the date of such release), and (ii) no Default or Event of Default then exists
or would be caused thereby.

 

(e)          If
Rowan Delaware is released in full and in all capacities as an obligor under the Non-Extended Facility in accordance with the terms
thereof, Rowan Delaware shall (subject to the other requirements with respect to Guarantors set forth in this Agreement) also be
released as a Guarantor under the Credit Documents so long as (i) Rowan Delaware does not directly own or operate any Rig, (ii)
the Parent shall be in compliance, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such release, with each Guarantee Ratio recomputed

7.4         Set-off.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender Party and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations
(in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender Party or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any
Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any
other Credit Document to such Lender Party, irrespective of whether or not such Lender Party shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such obligations of any Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are
owed to a branch or office of such Lender Party different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.

dealing and no delay in exercising any right, power, or remedy conferred to any Lender Party in this Agreement and the Credit Documents
or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any
such right, power, or remedy. Any Lender Party may cure any Event of Default without waiving the Event of Default. No notice to
or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to similar notices or demands in the future.

satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters
of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in
the order set forth above.

Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and (b) authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions
on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together

benefit of the Lender Parties, and neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary
of any of such provisions.

 

8.2         Rights
as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity
as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender”
or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business

any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

    	 	-107-	 

     

    

 

8.3         Exculpatory
Provisions. None of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lenders shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly
set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Administrative
Agent or the Issuing Lenders:

 

(a)          shall
be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(b)          shall
have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing
by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the
other Credit Documents), provided that Administrative Agent or an Issuing Lender shall not be required to take any action that,
in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender to liability or that is
contrary to any Credit Document or Legal Requirement; and

 

(c)          shall,
except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the

is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates in
any capacity.

 

None of the Administrative
Agent or the Issuing Lenders shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request
of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent
or such Issuing Lender shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.2
and 7.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. None of the Administrative Agent,
the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lenders shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing

Agent or the Issuing Lenders shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty
or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any

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

 

8.5         Delegation
of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under
any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective
Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication
of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

 

8.6         Resignation
of Administrative Agent.

 

(a)          The
Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower. Upon
receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower and subject
to the consent of the Borrower (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such resignation), to
appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office
in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed
by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but
shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting
the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender.
Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation
Effective Date.

 

    	 	-109-	 

     

    

 

(b)          If
the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Majority
Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, remove such Person
as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower and subject to the consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor.
If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
(or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal
shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

 

(c)          With
effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case
of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders under any of the Credit
Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent,
all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be
made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder,
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other
Credit Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s
resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.1 shall continue
in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties
in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting
as Administrative Agent.

 

(d)          Any
resignation by, or removal of, Wells Fargo as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation
as an Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder,
(a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing
Lender and Swingline Lender, in each case if it elects to, in its sole discretion, (b) the retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline
Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and
(c) the successor Issuing Lender, if in its sole discretion it elects to, shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the
Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuing
Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.

8.7         Non-Reliance
on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender Party also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions
in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder. In this regard, each party hereto acknowledges that Bracewell LLP is acting in this transaction
as special counsel to the Administrative Agent only. Each other party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent
that it deems necessary in connection with the Credit Documents and the matters contemplated therein.

 

Each Lender shall be deemed
(a) by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and making any Advance on the Closing Date to have consented to, approved
or accepted each Credit Document and each other document or other matter referred to in Section 3.1 required to be consented
to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders and to have been satisfied
with the satisfaction of all other conditions precedent required to be satisfied under Section 3.1 and (b) by making any
Advance after the Closing Date to have been satisfied with the satisfaction of the conditions precedent required to be satisfied
in connection therewith under Section 3.2.

 

8.8         No
Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Bookrunners, Arrangers, Syndication Agent
and Documentation Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement
or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing
Lender hereunder.

LENDERS SEVERALLY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS RELATED PARTIES (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY THE BORROWER),

case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or an Issuing Lender in its capacity
as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or an

All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after written demand therefor.

9.2         Waivers

any other fee letter executed by a Credit Party with or in favor of any Lender Party), nor consent to any departure by any Credit
Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Majority Lenders and the

given; provided that, no such agreement shall:

the Revolving Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

 

(ii)         increase
the aggregate Revolving Commitments other than pursuant to Section 2.1(c) as in effect on the date hereof without the written

(iii)        reduce
the principal amount of any Advance (other than prepayments or repayments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or reduce
the amount of or rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected
thereby); provided, however, that (A) only the consent of the Majority Lenders shall be required to waive any
obligation of the Borrower to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.9(c) with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility,
including with respect to any amount payable thereunder or in connection therewith and (B) the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Credit
Documents or enter into additional Credit Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement
any Replacement Rate or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 2.5(c)(x) in accordance with the terms of such Section;

 

(iv)        postpone
the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Advance, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or
reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Commitment,
without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

 

(v)         change
Section 2.5(e), Section 7.6, this Section 9.2 or any other provision in any Credit Document which expressly
requires the consent of, or action or waiver by, all of the Lenders, without the written consent of each Lender;

 

(vi)        amend,
modify or waive any provision in a manner that would alter the pro rata treatment of the Lenders (including without limitation
in connection with (A) the reduction of Revolving Commitments and (B) the sharing of payments to, or disbursements by,
Lenders required thereby), in any case without the written consent of each Lender;

 

(vii)       release
any Guarantor from its obligation under any Guaranty except any Guarantor released as permitted by Section 5.6(c),
(d) or (e), without the written consent of each Lender;

the definition of “Alternative Currency” without the written consent of each Lender and each Issuing Lender; or

 

(ix)         change
any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying
the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant
any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lender hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be.

 

    	 	-118-	 

     

    

 

(b)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent
hereunder or under any other Credit Document (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all
Lenders, a majority in interest of Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility or each affected Lender may be effected with the
consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lender); provided that any such amendment, waiver or consent referred
to in clause (a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii), (a)(iv) or (a)(v) above that, but for this sentence,
would require the prior written consent of such Defaulting Lender, will continue to require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;
provided further that any such amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender
that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than any other Lender whose consent is so required shall require
the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.2, (i) Credit Documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with
this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended
and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of
any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (A) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, or
(B) to cause such Credit Documents to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and (ii) the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower may amend any Credit Document to correct any obvious errors, mistakes, omissions, defects or inconsistencies
of a technical or immaterial nature, and such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to
such Credit Document other than the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

 

9.3         Severability.
In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein
shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

9.4         Survival
of Representations and Obligations. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or made in writing by or
on behalf of the Borrower in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, the making of Credit Extensions and any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders, none of which investigations
shall diminish any Lender’s right to rely on such representations and warranties. All obligations of the Borrower provided
for in Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14(b), and 9.1(a), (b) and (d) and all of the obligations
of the Lenders in Section 9.1(c) and Section 9.8 shall survive (in the case of Section 9.8, until the fifth
anniversary of the date of) any termination of this Agreement, repayment in full of the Obligations, and termination or expiration
of all Letters of Credit.

 

9.5         Successors
and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any
of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender Party and no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (a) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of
Section 9.6(a), (b) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Sections 9.6(c) or (c) by
way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.6(d) (and any other attempted
assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed
to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants
to the extent provided in Section 9.6(c) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

9.6         Lender
Assignments and Participations.

 

(a)          Assignments
by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it); provided
that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)          Minimum
Amounts.

 

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

 

		(B)	in any case not described in paragraph (a)(i)(A)
of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Advances outstanding thereunder)
or, if the applicable Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment
is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of
the Trade Date) shall not be less than $10,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee
Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single
assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

 

(ii)         Proportionate
Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advance or the Revolving Commitment assigned.

 

    	 	-120-	 

     

    

 

(iii)        Required
Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (a)(i)(B) of this
Section and, in addition:

 

		(A)	the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not Lender under the Revolving
Credit Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or any Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, provided that no such consent shall
be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented
to any such assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business
Days after having received notice thereof;

 

		(B)	the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender
under the Revolving Credit Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

 

		(C)	the consent of each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.

 

(iv)        Assignment
and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; provided further that only
one such fee shall be payable in the event of contemporaneous assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments
from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group).
The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	-121-	 

     

    

 

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

 

Subject to acceptance and
recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14(b), 9.1(a), 9.1(b), 9.1(c), and 9.1(d)
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by
a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of
this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d)
of this Section.

 

(b)          Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its
offices in Charlotte, North Carolina or Houston, Texas a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register
for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated
interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lender Parties may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. At any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice, the Register shall be available
(i) for inspection by the Borrower and (ii) for inspection by each Lender as to its Revolving Commitment and principal amount of
Advances owing to it.

 

    	 	-122-	 

     

    

 

(c)          Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations
to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 8.9(a)
with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

 

Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement
or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification
or waiver described in clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 9.6 that adversely affects
such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12
and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.14(g) (it
being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender))
to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this
Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.16(b) as if it were
an assignee under paragraph (a) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections
2.12 or 2.14, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive,
except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant
acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense,
to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.16(b) with respect to
any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.4
as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13(f) as though it were
a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower,
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest)
of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant
Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments,
loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure
is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section
5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation
for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent
(in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

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

 

9.7         Notices,
Etc.

 

(a)          Notices
Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except
as provided in paragraph (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be
delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile as follows: (i) if
to the Borrower or any other Credit Party, at the applicable address (or facsimile numbers) set forth on Schedule V;
(ii) if to the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Lender, at the applicable address (or facsimile numbers) set forth on Schedule
V; and (iii) if to a Lender, to it at its address (or facsimile number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire. Notices
sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received;
notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours

delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective
as provided in said paragraph (b).

 

(b)          Electronic
Communications.

 

(i)          The
Parent, the Borrower and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may make any material delivered by the Parent, the Borrower
or any other Credit Party to the Administrative Agent, as well as any amendments, waivers, consents, and other written information,
documents, instruments and other materials relating to the Parent, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary, or any other materials
or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Communications”)
available to the Lenders by posting such notices on an electronic delivery system (which may be provided by the Administrative
Agent, an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, or any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent), such as IntraLinks,
or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices
to any Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative
Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Parent and the Borrower acknowledge
that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality
and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”
and (iii) none of the Administrative Agent nor any of their respective Affiliates warrants the accuracy, completeness, timeliness,
sufficiency, or sequencing of the Communications posted on the Platform. The Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates
expressly disclaim with respect to the Platform any liability for errors in transmission, incorrect or incomplete downloading,
delays in posting or delivery, or problems accessing the Communications posted on the Platform and any liability for any losses,
costs, expenses or liabilities that may be suffered or incurred in connection with the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express,
implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement
of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates
in connection with the Platform. Nothing in this Section 9.7(b) shall relieve the Administrative Agent or any Lender from
their obligations under Section 9.8.

 

    	 	-124-	 

     

    

 

(ii)         Each
Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communication has
been posted to the Platform shall for purposes of this Agreement constitute effective delivery to such Lender of such information,
documents or other materials comprising such Communication. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify, on or before the date such Lender
becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice
may be sent (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender)
and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

 

(c)          Change
of Address, Etc. Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder
by notice to the other parties hereto.

 

9.8         Confidentiality.
The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined
below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners,
directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (the “Representatives”) (it being understood
that the Representative to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed
to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction
over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the
extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto,
(e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject
to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant
in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual
or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Parent or any Subsidiary and
their respective obligations, (g) with the consent of the Parent or the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information
(x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to any Lender
Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Credit Party. For purposes of
this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Parent or any Subsidiary relating to the Parent
or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Lender Party on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent or any Subsidiary. In the case of any disclosure under clause (c) above,
the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender shall, to the extent permitted under applicable laws and regulations,
endeavor to provide three days’ prior written notice of such disclosure to the applicable Credit Party. Any Person required
to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation
to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person
would accord to its own confidential information. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees to be responsible
for any breaches of this Section 9.8 by its Representatives.

 

    	 	-125-	 

     

    

 

9.9         Usury
Not Intended. It is the intent of the Borrower and each Lender in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the
Advances of each Lender including such applicable laws of the State of New York, the United States from time to time in effect,
and any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Agreement. In furtherance thereof, the Lenders and the Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained
in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use,
forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes of this Agreement and
all other Credit Documents, “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such
laws that are contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; and in the event that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts taken, reserved, charged, received or paid on the Obligations, include
amounts which by applicable law are deemed interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be
a mistake and each Lender receiving same shall credit the same on the principal of the Obligations owing to such Lender (or if
all such Obligations shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to the Borrower). In the event that the maturity of the Obligations
are accelerated by reason of any election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise,
or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more
than the Maximum Rate, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically
as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the applicable Obligations (or,
if the applicable Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Borrower of such interest). In determining whether
or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrower and the Lenders shall
to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal parts during the period of
the full stated term of the Advances all amounts considered to be interest under applicable law at any time contracted for, charged,
received or reserved in connection with the Obligations. The provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions
of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith.

 

    	 	-126-	 

     

    

 

9.10       Usury
Recapture. In the event the rate of interest chargeable under this Agreement or any other Credit Document at any time is greater
than the Maximum Rate, the unpaid principal amount of the Obligations shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate until the total amount
of interest paid or accrued on the Obligations equals the amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued on the Advances
if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement or applicable Credit Document had at all times been in effect. In the
event, upon payment in full of the Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement
and the Obligations is less than the total amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued if the rates of interest set
forth in this Agreement or such Credit Document had, at all times, been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender Party an amount equal to the difference
between (i) the lesser of (A) the amount of interest which would have been charged on Obligations owed to it if the Maximum
Rate had, at all times, been in effect and (B) the amount of interest which would have accrued on such Obligations if the
rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect and (ii) the amount of interest actually paid
under this Agreement or any Credit Document on Obligations owed to it. In the event that any Lender Party ever receives, collects
or applies as interest any sum in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, be applied
to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations, and if no such principal is then outstanding, such excess or part
thereof remaining shall be paid to the Borrower.

 

9.11       Payments
Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Credit Party is made to any Lender Party,
or any Lender Party exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into
by any Lender Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended
to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had
not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each Issuing Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable
share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the
date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time
in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders under
clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

9.12       Governing
Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

 

(a)          Governing
Law. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Credit Documents (unless otherwise expressly provided therein) shall be governed
by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 

(b)          Submission
to Jurisdiction. Each Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any Federal or New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, and any appellate court
from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims
in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action
or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided
by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document shall affect any right that any Lender Party may otherwise have
to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any Credit Party or its properties
in the courts of any jurisdiction.

 

    	 	-127-	 

     

    

 

(c)          Waiver
of Venue. Each Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any other Credit Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

(d)          Service
of Process. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which
may be served in any such action or proceeding may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to such Credit Party
at its address set forth in this Agreement and in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.7 or in accordance with Section 9.18.
Nothing in this Section shall affect the rights of any Lender Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by any
applicable Legal Requirement or affect the right of any Lender to bring any action or proceeding against the Borrower or its Property
in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

 

9.13       Execution.

 

(a)          Execution
in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement
and the other Credit Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute
the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings,
oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

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

 

9.14       Waiver
of Jury. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT
SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT
AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 

    	 	-128-	 

     

    

 

9.15       USA
PATRIOT ACT Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself
and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title
III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information
that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Act.
Promptly following a request from the Administrative Agent, a Lender, or Issuing Lender, each Credit Party hereby agrees to deliver
all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent, a Lender, or an Issuing Lender, as applicable, may reasonably
request in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering
rules and regulations, including the Act.

 

9.16       No
Fiduciary Duty. Each Lender Party may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees
that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary
or other implied duty between any Lender Party and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates. The Borrower acknowledges
and agrees that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between
the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading to
such transaction each of the Lender Parties is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its
management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (c) no Lender Party has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility
in favor of the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether
any Lender Party or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation
to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (d) the Borrower has consulted its own legal
and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible
for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees
that it will not claim that any Lender Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar
duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

 

    	 	-129-	 

     

    

 

9.17       Judgment
Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other
Credit Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding
that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of any Credit Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative
Agent, any Lender, or any Issuing Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a
currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable
provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business
Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged
to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, may in
accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement
Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any Issuing Lender from any
Credit Party in the Agreement Currency, such Credit Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment,
to indemnify the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount
of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any Issuing
Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the
amount of any excess to the applicable Credit Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

 

9.18       Appointment
of Process Agent. The Parent and each other Guarantor not incorporated or organized under the laws of the United States, any
State thereof or the District of Columbia (each, a “Foreign Credit Party”) hereby appoints, and shall maintain
the appointment of, CT Corporation System (the “Process Agent”), with an office at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York,
NY 10011, as its agent to receive on behalf of it and its properties service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other
process which may be served in any such action or proceeding. Such service may be made by mailing by certified mail a copy of such
process to any Foreign Credit Party, in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address, with a copy to such
Foreign Credit Party at its address set forth on Schedule V, and each Foreign Credit Party hereby irrevocably authorizes
and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternative method of service, each Foreign Credit Party
also irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing by certified mail
of copies of such process to it at its address set forth on Schedule V. Each Foreign Credit Party agrees that a final judgment
in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any
other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of any Lender Party to serve legal process in any
other manner permitted by any applicable Legal Requirement or affect the right of any Lender to bring any suit, action or proceeding
against any Foreign Credit Party or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

 

9.19       Keepwell.
Each of the Parent and the Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other
support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under its Guaranty and the
other Credit Documents in respect of obligations under Hedging Arrangements with a Hedge Counterparty constituting Obligations
hereunder (provided, however, that each of the Parent and the Borrower shall only be liable under this Section 9.19 for
the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 9.19,
or otherwise under the Credit Documents, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer,
and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each of the Parent and the Borrower under this Section 9.19 shall remain
in full force and effect until all of Obligations and any amounts payable under this Agreement have been indefeasibly paid and
performed in full and the Revolving Commitments have terminated. Each of the Parent and the Borrower intends that this Section 9.19
constitute, and this Section 9.19 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for
the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

9.20       Acknowledgement
and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in
any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of
any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may
be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges
and agrees to be bound by:

 

(a)          the
application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which
may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

 

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

 

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

 

(ii)         a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution,
its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or
other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement
or any other Credit Document; or

 

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

FORM OF SUBSIDIARY
GUARANTY

 

This Subsidiary Guaranty
dated as of May 22, 2018 (the “Guaranty”) is among each of the undersigned and any other Subsidiary of the Parent
(as defined below) that becomes party to this Guaranty from time to time (individually a “Guarantor” and collectively,
the “Guarantors”) in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent for the ratable
benefit of the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below) (the “Guaranteed Parties”).

 

INTRODUCTION

 

A.       RDC
Holdings Luxembourg S.à r.l., a Luxembourg private limited liability company (the “Borrower”), Rowan
Companies plc, an English public limited company (the “Parent”), the Lender Parties party thereto from time
to time, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender, and Issuing Lender, are parties
to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of May 22, 2018 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified
from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; the defined terms of which are used herein unless otherwise defined
herein).

 

C.       It
is a requirement under the Credit Agreement that each Guarantor guarantee the due payment and performance of all Obligations.

 

D.       Each
Guarantor is a Subsidiary of the Parent and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from (i) the transactions contemplated
by the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) the Hedging Arrangements with any Hedge Counterparty and (iii) the
Cash Management Agreements with any Cash Management Bank.

 

E.       Each
Guarantor is executing and delivering this Guaranty (a) to induce the Lenders to provide Advances under the Credit Agreement, (b)
to induce the Issuing Lenders to provide Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, and (c) intending it to be a legal, valid,
binding, enforceable and continuing obligation of such Guarantor.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises, the Guarantors, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, do hereby further agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1.       Guaranty.
Each Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty
of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise,
and at all times thereafter, of all Obligations, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated,
voluntary or involuntary and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise,
under the Credit Documents (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and, subject
to Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement, all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Guaranteed Parties in connection
with the collection or enforcement thereof), and whether recovery upon Obligations may be or hereafter become unenforceable or
shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against any Credit Party under Debtor Relief
Laws, and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any Credit Party of any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Laws (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Any Guaranteed Party’s books and records showing
the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon
each Guarantor and conclusive absent manifest error for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. This
Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection
or extent of any collateral therefor (if any), or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might
otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives
any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing (other than defense of payment
or performance in full). Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder
at any time shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder
subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code)
or any comparable provisions of any similar United States federal or state law, or applicable foreign law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations shall not include any Excluded Swap Obligations.

 

     

     

    

 

2.       No
Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. [Each Guarantor represents and warrants that it is organized and resident in a state
of the United States of America.]1Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Guarantor under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction
or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Legal Requirement. If any applicable Legal Requirement (as determined
in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such
payment by such applicable withholding agent, then such applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction
or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable Legal Requirement and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Guarantor shall
be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any
Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2, such Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
the original or a certified copy of any available receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy
of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The
obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination
of this Guaranty.

 

3.       Rights
of Lender. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Lender Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice
or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge,
accelerate in accordance with the Credit Agreement or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations
or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security
(if any is given) for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) to the extent permitted by law, apply such
security (if any is given) and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Lender in its sole discretion may determine; and
(d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner
or to any extent vary the risks of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge
of such Guarantor. No Guaranteed Party shall have any right individually to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed
that all powers, rights, and remedies under the Credit Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf
of the Guaranteed Parties in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents. This Guaranty may not be enforced against any director,
officer, or employee of the Guarantors.

entity.

4.       Certain
Waivers. Each Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any
other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of a Lender, except for such Lender’s
behavior which amounts to gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of a Credit Document, as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, in each case, as set forth in the Credit Agreement) of the liability
of the Borrower (other than defense of payment or performance in full); (b) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s
obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting
such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the Guaranteed Parties to proceed against the Borrower, proceed
against or exhaust any security for the Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Party’s power whatsoever;
(e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Guaranteed Party (if any); and (f) to
the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable
law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties (except, for the avoidance of doubt, the defense of payment
or performance in full). Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment
or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices
or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this
Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations.

 

5.       Obligations
Independent. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent
of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against each Guarantor
to enforce this Guaranty whether or not the Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

 

6.       Subrogation.
Each Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity,
reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations
and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been paid and performed in full and any commitments of the Guaranteed Parties
or facilities provided by the Guaranteed Parties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. If any amounts are
paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties to reduce
the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

 

7.       Termination;
Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing
and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are
paid in full in immediately available funds, all Letters of Credit have expired, terminated or been Cash Collateralized and the
Revolving Commitments of the Lender Parties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. Upon the fulfillment of
the preceding sentence, this Guaranty shall immediately, automatically terminate without any further action whatsoever. The Administrative
Agent shall execute and deliver any instrument or document, make any filing, or take any action reasonably requested by the Borrower
or such Subsidiary to effect or evidence any such release at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the
Borrower or any Guarantor is made, or any Guaranteed Party exercises its right of setoff,
in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff
or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Guaranteed Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other
party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or
such setoff had not occurred and whether or not any Guaranteed Party is in possession
of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations
of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

 

    	 	-3-	 

     

    

 

8.       Subordination.
Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of any obligation of any Credit Party to such Guarantor as subrogee of the Guaranteed
Parties or resulting from the Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the payment in full in immediately available
funds of all Guaranteed Obligations. If the Administrative Agent so requests, any such obligation or indebtedness of each Credit
Party to any Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Guaranteed Parties on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability
of each Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

9.       Stay
of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in
connection with any case commenced by or against any Guarantor or the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all
such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor immediately upon written demand by the Administrative Agent.

 

10.       Expenses.
Subject to Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor shall pay not later than ten Business Days after written demand
therefor, all out-of-pocket expenses of any Lender Party (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel of
any Lender Party) in any way relating to the enforcement or protection of the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Party’s
rights under this Guaranty or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred
during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any incurred in the preservation,
protection or enforcement of any rights of the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Party in any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Laws. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations
and termination of this Guaranty.

 

11.       Miscellaneous.
No provision of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, except by a written instrument executed by the
Administrative Agent, the Majority Lenders and the Guarantors; provided that the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors may amend
this Guaranty to correct any obvious errors, mistakes, omissions, defects or inconsistencies of a technical or immaterial nature,
and such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party other than the Administrative Agent and
the Guarantors. No failure by the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right,
remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any
provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. Unless otherwise agreed
by the Administrative Agent, the Majority Lenders and the Guarantors in writing, this Guaranty is not intended to supersede or
otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by the Guarantor for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties or any term
or provision thereof.

 

    	 	-4-	 

     

    

 

12.       Condition
of Borrower. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining
from the Borrower and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrower
and any such other guarantor as the Guarantor requires, and that the Guaranteed Parties have no duty, and such Guarantor is not
relying on the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating
to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower or any other guarantor (the guarantor waiving any duty on the
part of the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Party to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to
provide the same).

 

13.       Setoff.
If and to the extent any payment is not made when due hereunder, the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party may setoff
and charge from time to time any amount so due against any or all of any Guarantor’s accounts or deposits with such Guaranteed
Party.

 

14.       Representations
and Warranties. Each Guarantor represents and warrants that (a) it is duly organized and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its organization; (b) the making and performance of this Guaranty are within such Guarantor’s
powers; (c) the making and performance of this Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited
liability company or partnership action [or other applicable company action]2;
(d) this Guaranty constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws or similar laws at the time in effect affecting the rights of creditors generally
and to the effect of general principles of equity whether applied by a court of law or equity; (e) the making and performance
of this Guaranty does not and will not contravene any law or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting such
Guarantor except where such contravention could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change; and (f)
the making and performance of this Guaranty do not require any authorization or approval or other action by, or any notice or
filing with, any Governmental Authority, except notices to or filings with the SEC that may be required from time to time and
where the failure to obtain such authorizations or approvals could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Change.

 

15.       Indemnification
and Survival. Without limitation on any other obligations of each Guarantor or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any
other Guaranteed Party under this Guaranty, and subject to Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties
from and against, and shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after written demand therefor, all damages, losses, liabilities
and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Guaranteed Party) that may be suffered or incurred
by the Administrative Agent or such Guaranteed Party in connection with or as a result of any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations
to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms.
The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination
of this Guaranty. This Section 15 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims,
damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

16.       Governing
Law; Assignment; Jurisdiction; Notices; Appointment of Process Agent.
This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of NEW YORK. This
Guaranty shall (a) bind each Guarantor and its successors and assigns, provided that no Guarantor may assign its rights or obligations
under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders or the Lenders, as
required by the Credit Agreement (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void), and (b) inure to the benefit
of the Administrative Agent, and the other Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and each Guaranteed
Party may, without notice to any Guarantor, except as required by the Credit Documents, and without affecting each Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder, assign, sell or grant participations in the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty, in whole or in part,
to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction
of any United States Federal or New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Guaranty, and (ii) waives to the fullest extent permitted by law the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that service of copies of
the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such action or proceeding may be made by mailing or
delivering a copy of such process to such Guarantor at the address for such Guarantor specified in the Credit Agreement and in
the manner provided for notices in Section 9.7 [and Section 9.18]3
of the Credit Agreement. [Each Guarantor not incorporated or organized under the laws of the United States, any State
thereof or the District of Columbia (each, a “Foreign Credit Party”) hereby appoints, and shall maintain the
appointment of, CT Corporation System (the “Process Agent”), with an office at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York,
NY 10011, as its agent to receive on behalf of it and its properties service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other
process which may be served in any such action or proceeding. Such service may be made by mailing by certified mail a copy of
such process to any Foreign Credit Party, in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address, with a copy
to such Foreign Credit Party at its address set forth on Schedule V of the Credit Agreement, and each Foreign Credit Party hereby
irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternative method of service,
each Foreign Credit Party also irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by
the mailing by certified mail of copies of such process to it at its address set forth on Schedule V of the Credit Agreement.
Each Foreign Credit Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced
in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.]4
Nothing in this Section 16 shall affect the right of any Guaranteed Party to serve legal process in any other manner
permitted by any applicable Legal Requirement or affect the right of any Guaranteed Party to bring any action or proceeding against
any Guarantor or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

 

17.       WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL; FINAL AGREEMENT. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH GUARANTEED PARTY EACH IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION, CLAIM, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE
GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS. THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY
NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN
ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

18.       Release
of Guarantees. This Guaranty shall be immediately, automatically released with respect to any particular Guarantor that is
released from this Guaranty pursuant to Section 5.6(c), (d) or (e) or 9.2(a)(vii) of the Credit Agreement, upon request by the
Borrower, and all obligations of such Guarantor will terminate and be automatically released without any further action of any
Person. The Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver any instrument or document, make any filing or take any action reasonably
requested by the Borrower or such Subsidiary to effect or evidence any such release at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense.

 

19.       Keepwell.
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such
funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under its
Guaranty in respect of obligations under a Hedging Arrangement with a Hedge Counterparty constituting Obligations (provided, however,
that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 19 for the maximum amount of such liability that
can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 19, or otherwise under the Credit Documents,
voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations
of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 19 shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations
and any amounts payable under the Credit Agreement have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the Revolving Commitments
have terminated. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 19 constitutes, and this Section 19 shall
be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all
purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. For the purposes of this Section 19, “Qualified
ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Hedging Arrangement with a Hedge Counterparty, each Credit Party that has total
assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the relevant guarantee becomes effective with respect to such Hedging Arrangement or such
other person as constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations
promulgated thereunder and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time by
entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Pricing
Schedule

 

The Applicable Margin with respect to each
Type and Class of Advance, the Letters of Credit and the Commitment Fees shall be determined in accordance with the following table
based on the Borrower’s Debt Rating (as hereinafter defined). Adjustments, if any, to such Applicable Margin shall be effective
on the date of a publicly announced change in a Debt Rating and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of
the next such change.

 

	 	 	 	 	Revolving Credit Facility	 	 	 	 
	Pricing Level	 	Debt Rating	 	Eurodollar

Margin	 	 	Base Rate
 Margin
	 	 	Commitment

Fee	 
	Level I	 	BB+/Ba1 or higher	 	 	2.750	%	 	 	1.750	%	 	 	0.375	%
	Level II	 	BB/Ba2	 	 	3.000	%	 	 	2.000	%	 	 	0.500	%
	Level III	 	BB-/Ba3	 	 	3.250	%	 	 	2.250	%	 	 	0.500	%
	Level IV	 	B+/B1	 	 	3.500	%	 	 	2.500	%	 	 	0.625	%

	Level VI	 	Lower than B/B2	 	 	4.250	%	 	 	3.250	%	 	 	0.700	%

 

“Debt Rating”
means, as of any date of determination, the rating as determined by S&P and Moody’s (collectively, the “Debt
Ratings”) of the Parent’s (or Rowan Delaware’s if the Parent is not rated) unenhanced senior unsecured debt;
provided that (a) if a Debt Rating is issued by each of the foregoing rating agencies, then the higher of such Debt Ratings
shall apply (with the Debt Rating for Pricing Level I being the highest and the Debt Rating for Pricing Level VI being the lowest),
unless there is a split in Debt Ratings of more than one Pricing Level, in which case the Applicable Margin shall be determined
by reference to the Debt Rating immediately below that of the higher of the Debt Ratings; (b) if either Moody’s or S&P
(but not both) shall have in effect a Debt Rating, then the Pricing Level shall be determined by the Debt Rating issued by either
Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be; (c) if neither Moody’s nor S&P shall have in effect a Debt Rating (other
than by reason of the circumstances referred to in clause (d) of this definition), then the Pricing Level shall be
deemed to be Pricing Level VI; and (d) if the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if both such rating agencies
shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith
to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agencies and,
pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently
in effect prior to such change or cessation. For purposes of this definition, “Pricing Level” refers to the corresponding
row of the table set forth in the definition of “Applicable Margin”.
