used in the preparation of the Financial Statements). If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial
ratio or requirement set forth herein, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof
in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (a)
such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein, and (b) the Borrower
shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement
or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before
and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. In addition, all calculations and defined accounting terms used herein shall, unless
expressly provided otherwise, when referring to any Person, refer to such Person on a consolidated basis and mean such Person and
its consolidated Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE II THE LOANS

Section 2.01 Commitment for Advances.

 

(a) Advances.
Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Advances to the Borrower from time
to time on any Business Day during the period from the date of this Agreement until the Commitment Termination Date in an amount
for each Lender not to exceed such Lender’s Unused Commitment Amount. Each Borrowing shall, in the case of Borrowings consisting
of Base Rate Advances, be in an aggregate amount not less than the lesser of (i) $25,000 and (ii) the aggregate of all Lenders’
Unused Commitment Amounts, and in integral multiples of $25,000 in excess thereof, and in the case of Borrowings consisting of
Libor Rate Advances, be in an aggregate amount not less than $25,000 and in integral multiples of $25,000 in excess thereof, and
in each case shall consist of Advances of the same Type made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective
Commitments. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may
from time to time borrow, prepay, and reborrow Advances.

 

(b) Notes.
The indebtedness of the Borrower to each Lender resulting from the Advances owing to such Lender shall be evidenced by a Note of
the Borrower payable to the order of such Lender.

 

Section 2.02 Borrowing Base.

 

(a) Borrowing
Base. The initial Borrowing Base in effect as of the date of this Agreement has been set by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders and acknowledged by the Borrower as $3,500,000.00. Such initial Borrowing Base shall remain in effect until the next redetermination
made pursuant to this Section 2.02. The Borrowing Base shall be determined in

 

    	18

    	 

    

 

accordance with the standards set forth in Section
2.02(d) and is subject to periodic redetermination pursuant to Sections 2.02(b) and 2.02(c).

 

(b)
Calculation of Borrowing Base.

 

(i) The
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders the Engineering Reports specified in Section 5.06(d),
and such other information as may be reasonably requested by any Lender with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties included or
to be included in the Borrowing Base. Within thirty (30) days after the Administrative Agent and the Lenders’ receipt of
such Engineering Reports and other information, (A) the Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender the Administrative Agent’s
recommendation for the redetermined Borrowing Base, (B) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall redetermine the Borrowing
Base in accordance with Section 2.02(d), and (C) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of the
amount of the Borrowing Base as so redetermined.

 

(ii) In
the event that the Borrower does not furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders the Independent Engineering Report, Internal
Engineering Report, or other information specified in clauses (i) above by the date specified therein, the Administrative Agent
and the Required Lenders (except that any increase in the Borrowing Base shall require the consent of all the Lenders) may nonetheless
redetermine the Borrowing Base and redesignate the Borrowing Base from time-to-time thereafter in their sole discretion until the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders receive the relevant Independent Engineering Report, Internal Engineering Report, or other
information, as applicable, whereupon the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (except that any increase in the Borrowing
Base shall require the consent of all the Lenders) shall redetermine the Borrowing Base as otherwise specified in this Section
2.02.

 

(c) Interim
Redetermination. In addition to the Borrowing Base redeterminations provided for in Section 2.02(b), the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may, in their sole discretion and based on such information as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders deem relevant
(but in accordance with Section 2.02(d)), make two additional redeterminations of the Borrowing Base during any twelve-month period.
Furthermore, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at the request of the Borrower and based on such information as the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders deem relevant (but in accordance with Section 2.02(d)), make two additional redeterminations
of the Borrowing Base during any twelve-month period. The party requesting the redetermination shall give the other party at least
10 days’ prior written notice that a redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this paragraph (c) is to be performed;
provided that, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, no such prior notice is required for a Borrowing Base redetermination
elected by the Lenders. In connection with any redetermination of the Borrowing Base under this Section 2.02(c) the Borrower shall
provide the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with such information regarding the Borrower and its Subsidiaries’ business
(including, without limitation, its Oil and Gas Properties, the Proven Reserves, and production relating thereto) as the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may reasonably request, including an updated Internal Engineering Report. The Administrative

 

    	19

    	 

    

 

Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing
of each redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) and the amount of the Borrowing Base as so redetermined.

 

(d) Standards
for Redetermination. Each redetermination of the Borrowing Base by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to this
Section 2.02 shall be made (i) in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (but in accordance with the other
provisions of this Section 2.02(d)), (ii) in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ customary
internal standards and practices for valuing and redetermining the value of Oil and Gas Properties in connection with reserve based
oil and gas loan transactions, (iii) in conjunction with the most recent Independent Engineering Report or Internal Engineering
Report, as applicable, or other information received by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders relating to the Proven Reserves
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and (iv) based upon the estimated value of the Proven Reserves owned by the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries as determined by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. In valuing and redetermining the Borrowing Base, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may also consider the business, financial condition, and Debt obligations of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries and such other factors as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders customarily deem appropriate, including
without limitation, commodity price assumptions, projections of production, operating expenses, general and administrative expenses,
capital costs, working capital requirements, liquidity evaluations, dividend payments, environmental costs, and legal costs. In
that regard, the Borrower acknowledges that the determination of the Borrowing Base contains a value cushion (market value in excess
of loan value), which is essential for the adequate protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. No Proven Reserves
of the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ Oil and Gas Properties shall be included or considered for inclusion in the
Borrowing Base unless the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received, at the Borrower’s expense, (A) evidence
of title satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent covering at least 85% (by PV I O value) of the Proven Reserves
relating thereto and (B) Mortgages and such other Security Instruments requested by the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary
to cause the Administrative Agent to have an Acceptable Security Interest in at least 85% (by PV I 0 value) of the Proven Reserves
relating thereto. Any changes in, or renewals of, the Borrowing Base (other than increases in the Borrowing Base) must be consented
to in writing by the Required Lenders. Any increases in the Borrowing Base must be consented to in writing by all the Lenders.

 

(e) At
all times after the Administrative Agent has given the Borrower notification of a redetermination of the Borrowing Base under this
Section 2.02, the Borrowing Base shall be equal (i) to the redetermined amount or (ii) such lesser amount designated by the Borrower
and disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, provided that the Borrower shall not request that
the Borrowing Base be reduced to a level that would result in a Borrowing Base Deficiency, until the Borrowing Base is subsequently
redetermined in accordance with this Section 2.02.

 

Section 2.03 Method of Borrowing.

 

(a) Notice.
Each Borrowing shall be made pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing (or by telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing by a Notice
of Borrowing), given not later than 12:00 p.m. (noon) (Denver, Colorado time) (i) on the third Business Day before the date of
the

 

    	20

(noon) (Denver, Colorado time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to
the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.02, or such other location as the Administrative Agent may specify
by notice to the Lenders, in same day funds, in the case of a Borrowing, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing.
After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article
III, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower at its account with the Administrative Agent.

 

(b) Conversions
and Continuations. The Borrower may elect to Convert or continue any Borrowing under this Section 2.03 by delivering an irrevocable
Notice of Conversion or Continuation to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office no later than 12:00
p.m. (noon) (Denver, Colorado time) (i) on the date which is 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 a Borrowing comprised of Libor Rate Advances and (ii)
on the date which is at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Conversion in the case of a Conversion to a Borrowing
comprised of Base Rate Advances. Each such Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be in writing or by telephone notice promptly
confirmed immediately in writing specifying the information required therein. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion
or Continuation under this Section, the Administrative Agent shall provide each Lender with a copy thereof and, in the case of
a Conversion to or a continuation of a Borrowing comprised of Libor Rate Advances, notify each Lender of the applicable interest
rate under Section 2.09(a)(ii).

 

(c) Certain
Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained m paragraphs (a) and (b) above:

 

(i) at
no time shall there be more than five (5) Interest Periods applicable to outstanding Libor Rate Advances and the Borrower may not
select Libor Rate Advances for any Borrowing at any time that a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(ii) if
any Lender shall, at least one Business Day before the date of any requested Borrowing, Conversion, or continuation, notify the
Administrative Agent 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 Libor Lending Office
to perform its obligations under this Agreement to make Libor Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Libor Rate Advances, the right
of the Borrower to select Libor Rate Advances from such Lender shall be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative
Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and the Advance made by such

 

    	21

    	 

    

 

Lender in respect of such Borrowing, Conversion,
or continuation shall be a Base Rate Advance;

 

(iii) if
the Administrative Agent is unable to determine the Libor Rate for Libor Rate Advances comprising any requested Borrowing, the
right of the Borrower to select Libor Rate 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 a Base Rate Advance;

 

(iv) if
the Required Lenders shall, at least one Business Day before the date of any requested Borrowing, notify the Administrative Agent
that the Libor Rate for Libor Rate Advances comprising such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making
or funding their respective Libor Rate Advances, as the case may be, for such Borrowing, the right of the Borrower to select Libor
Rate 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 a Base Rate Advance;

 

(v) if
the Borrower shall fail to select the duration or continuation of any Interest Period for any Libor Rate Advances in accordance
with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01 and paragraph (b) above, the Administrative
Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances shall be made available to the Borrower on the date
of such Borrowing as Base Rate Advances or, if existing Libor Rate Advances, Convert into Base Rate Advances; and

 

(vi) the
Borrower may not request a Libor Rate Advance if the Libor Rate applicable thereto would be less than (a) during the first twelve
(12) months following the Closing Date, 5.0%, and (b) thereafter, 4.5%.

 

(d) Notices
Irrevocable. Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
In the case of any Borrowing for which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Libor Rate Advances, the
Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Lender against any loss (including any loss of anticipated profits), out-of-pocket
cost, or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure by the Borrower 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, cost, or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender
to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not
made on such date. Upon the Borrower’s request, each Lender seeking reimbursement for any such loss, cost or expense agrees
to provide reasonably detailed calculations of any losses, costs or expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure
by the Borrower to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing the applicable conditions specified in Article
III.

 

    	22

    	 

    

 

(e) Administrative
Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender before the date of any Borrowing that
such Lender shall not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the date
of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.03 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not
have so made its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally
agree to immediately repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest on such amount,
for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative
Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable on such day to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii)
in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for such day. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding
amount and interest as provided above, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part
of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement even though not made on the same day as the other Advances comprising such Borrowing.

 

(f) 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.

 

Section 2.04 Reduction of the Commitments.

 

(a) The
Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate
in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portion of the Commitment; provided that each partial reduction shall be in
the aggregate amount of $500,000 or in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.

 

(b) Any
reduction and termination of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be applied ratably to each Lender’s Commitment
and shall be permanent, with no obligation of the Lenders to reinstate such Commitments.

 

Section 2.05 Prepayment of Advances.

 

(a) Optional.
The Borrower may prepay the Advances, after giving by 10:00 a.m. (Denver, Colorado time) (i) in the case of Libor Rate
Advances, at least three Business Days’ or (ii) in the case of Base Rate Advances, one Business Day’s,
irrevocable prior written notice (or irrevocable telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent
stating the proposed date, aggregate principal amount of such prepayment. If any such notice is given, the Borrower shall
prepay the Advances 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 and amounts, if any,
required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.12 as a result of such prepayment being made on such date; provided,

 

    	23

    	 

    

 

however, that
each partial prepayment with respect to: (A) any amounts prepaid in respect of Libor Rate Advances shall be applied to Libor Rate
Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing; (B) any amounts prepaid in respect of Base Rate Advances shall be made in a minimum
amount of $25,000 and in integral multiples of $25,000 in excess thereof, and (C) any prepayments made in respect of Borrowings
comprised of Libor Rate Advances shall be made in a minimum amount of $25,000 and in integral multiples of $25,000 in excess thereof.
Full prepayments of any Borrowing are permitted without restriction of amounts.

 

(b)
Borrowing Base Deficiencies.

 

(i) If
a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, the Borrower shall, after receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent regarding
such deficiency, deliver within I 0 days after the date such deficiency notice is received, written notice to the Administrative
Agent indicating the Borrower’s election to take any of the following actions (and the failure of the Borrower to take such
actions to remedy such Borrowing Base Deficiency within the time specified in this Section 2.05(b) shall constitute an Event of
Default):

 

(A) prepay
the Advances, such that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured within 30 days after the date such deficiency notice is received
by the Borrower from the Administrative Agent;

 

(B) pledge
as Collateral for the Obligations additional Oil and Gas Properties acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders such
that the applicable Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured within 30 days after the date of such notice by the Administrative Agent
is received;

 

(C) repay
the Advances, each in three monthly installments equal to one-third of such Borrowing Base Deficiency with the first such installment
due 30 days after the date such deficiency notice is received by the Borrower from the Administrative Agent and each following
installment due 30 days after the preceding installment; or

 

(D) combine
the options provided in clause (B) and clause (C) above and make such three equal consecutive monthly installments and deliver
such additional Collateral within the time required under clause (B) and clause (C) above; provided that the Borrower indicates
the amount to be prepaid in installments and the amount to be provided as additional Collateral in the written notice of its election
delivered to the Administrative Agent within the required 10 days.

 

The failure of the Borrower
to provide a notice of its election within the required 10 days shall be deemed to be an election by the Borrower to take the actions
provided for in clause (A) above.

 

(ii) Each
prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) 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 2.12 as a result of such prepayment being made on such
date. Each prepayment under this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied to the

 

    	24

    	 

    

 

Advances as determined by the
Administrative Agent and agreed by the Lenders in their sole discretion.

 

(c)
Reduction of Commitments.

 

(i) On the date
of each reduction of the aggregate Commitments pursuant to Section 2.04, the Borrower agrees to make a prepayment in respect of
the outstanding amount of the Advances to the extent, if any, that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances exceeds
the lesser of (A) the aggregate Commitments, as so reduced, and (B) the Borrowing Base.

 

(ii) Each
prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) 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 2.12 as a result of such prepayment being made on such
date. Each prepayment under this Section 2.05(c) shall be applied to the Advances as determined by the Administrative Agent and
agreed to by the Lenders in their sole discretion.

 

(d) Illegality.
If any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the adoption of or any change in any applicable Legal
Requirement or in the interpretation of any applicable Legal Requirement makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental
Authority asserts that it is unlawful for such Lender or its Libor Lending Office to perform its obligations under this Agreement
to maintain any Libor Rate Advances of such Lender then outstanding hereunder, (i) the Borrower shall, no later than 12:00 p.m.
(noon) (Denver, Colorado time) and if not prohibited by law, (A) on the last day of the Interest Period for each outstanding Libor
Rate Advance made by such Lender, or (B) if required by such notice, on the second Business Day following its receipt of such notice,
either prepay all of the Libor Rate Advances made by such Lender then outstanding or Convert all of the Libor Rate Advances made
by such Lender then outstanding to Base Rate Advances, and, in either case, pay all accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid
or Converted to the date of such prepayment or Conversion and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.12 as
a result of such prepayment or Conversion being made on such date, (ii) to the extent the principal amount of Libor Rate Advances
are prepaid, 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 Libor Rate Advances prepaid to such Lender, and (iii) the right of the Borrower to select Libor Rate Advances
from such Lender for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

 

(e) No
Additional Right; Ratable Prepayment. The Borrower shall have no right to prepay any principal amount of any Advance except
as provided in this Section 2.05, and all notices given pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be irrevocable and binding upon the
Borrower. Each payment of any Advance pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be made in a manner such that all Advances comprising
part of the same Borrowing are paid in whole or ratably in part.

 

Section
2.06 Repayment of Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders
the outstanding principal amount of each Advance,

 

    	25

    	 

    

 

together with any accrued interest on the Commitment
Termination Date or such earlier date pursuant to Section 7.02 or Section 7.03.

 

Section 2.07 This Section is omitted.

 

Section
2.08 Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender having a Commitment
a commitment fee at a rate per annum equal to 0.375% on the daily Unused Commitment Amount of such Lender, from the date of this
Agreement until the Commitment Termination Date. The commitment fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day
of each March, June, September, and December commencing on June 30, 2014 and continuing thereafter through and including the Commitment
Termination Date.

 

Section 2.09 Interest.

 

(a) Applicable
Interest Rates. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made by each Lender from the
date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

 

(i) Base
Rate Advances. If such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal to the greater of: (i) the Base Rate plus 1.0%
or (ii) 4.5%; provided, however, that during the first 12 months after the Closing Date, interest on any Base Rate Advance
shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the greater of: (i) the Base Rate plus 1.5% or (ii) 5.0%. Interest on Base Rate Advances
shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar month commencing May 31, 2014, and on the date such Base Rate
Advance shall be paid in full.

 

(ii) Libor
Rate Advances. If such Advance is a Libor Rate Advance, a rate per annum during the Interest Period for such Advance equal
to the greater of: (i) the Libor Rate for such Interest Period plus 2.0% or (ii) 4.5%; provided, however, that during the
first 12 months after the Closing Date, interest on any Libor Rate Advance shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the greater
of: (i) the Libor Rate for such Interest Period plus 2.5% or (ii) 5.0%. Interest on Libor Rate Advances shall be payable on the
last day of such Interest Period.

 

(b) Post
Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if any principal of
or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document
is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, then all Loans outstanding, in the case of an
Event of Default, arid such overdue amount, in the case of a failure to pay amounts when due, shall bear interest, after as well
as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the rate otherwise applicable to such Advance plus 3.0%, but in no event
to exceed the Maximum Rate.

 

(c)
Usury Recapture.

 

(i) If,
with respect to any Lender, the effective rate of interest contracted for under the Loan Documents, including the stated rates
of interest and fees contracted for

 

    	26

    	 

    

 

hereunder
and any other amounts contracted for under the Loan Documents that are deemed to be interest, at any time exceeds the Maximum Rate,
then the outstanding principal amount of the loans made by such Lender hereunder shall bear interest at a rate which would make
the effective rate of interest for such Lender under the Loan Documents equal the Maximum Rate until the difference between the
amounts which would have been due at the stated rates and the amounts that were due at the Maximum Rate (the “Lost Interest”)
has been recaptured by such Lender.

 

(ii) If,
when the loans made hereunder are repaid in full, the Lost Interest has not been fully recaptured by such Lender, pursuant to the
preceding paragraph, then, to the extent permitted by law, for the loans and other Credit Extensions made hereunder by such Lender,
the interest rates charged under Section 2.09 hereunder shall be retroactively increased such that the effective rate of
interest under the Loan Documents was at the Maximum Rate since the effectiveness of this Agreement to the extent necessary to
recapture the Lost Interest not recaptured pursuant to the preceding sentence and, to the extent allowed by law, the Borrower shall
pay to such Lender the amount of the Lost Interest remaining to be recaptured by such Lender.

 

(iii) NOTWITHSTANDING
THE FOREGOING OR ANY OTHER TERM IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS TO THE CONTRARY, IT IS THE INTENTION OF EACH LENDER AND
THE BORROWER TO CONFORM STRICTLY TO ANY APPLICABLE USURY LAWS. ACCORDINGLY, IF ANY LENDER CONTRACTS FOR, CHARGES, OR RECEIVES ANY
CONSIDERATION THAT CONSTITUTES INTEREST IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM RATE, THEN ANY SUCH EXCESS SHALL BE CANCELED AUTOMATICALLY AND,
IF PREVIOUSLY PAID, SHALL AT SUCH LENDER’S OPTION BE APPLIED TO THE OUTSTANDING AMOUNT OF THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER BY SUCH
LENDER BE REFUNDED TO THE BORROWER.

 

Section 2.10 Payments and Computations.

 

(a) Payment
Procedures. The Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement and under the Notes not later than 12:00 p.m. (noon)
(Denver, Colorado time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the location referred to in the Notes (or
such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Borrower) in same day funds without deduction,
setoff, or counterclaim of any kind. The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating
to the payment of principal, interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable solely to the Administrative Agent, or a specific
Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(d), 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 8.05, or 9.07, but after taking into account payments effected pursuant to
Section 9.04) in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable
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 Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b) 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 or
366 days, as the case may be,

 

    	27

    	 

      

and all computations of
all other interest and fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, 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.

 

(c) 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, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal
of Libor Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business
Day.

 

(d) Administrative
Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which
any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower shall not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance
upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If
and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay
to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest, for each day from
the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at
the Federal Funds Rate for such day.

 

Section
2.11 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise
of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances made by it in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments on account
of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and forthwith purchase from the
other Lenders such participations in the Advances made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the
excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter
recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing
Lender the purchase price to the extent of such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of
the participation sold by such Lender to the purchasing Lender as a result of such excess payment to (b) the total amount of such
excess payment) of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion
of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to the purchasing Lender to (ii) the total amount of all such required
repayments to the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the
total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.11 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 

    	28

    	 

    

 

Section
2.12 Breakage Costs. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower
shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result
of: (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Advance other than a Base Rate Advance on a day other than the
last day of the Interest Period for such Advance (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make an Advance) to prepay, borrow, continue
or convert any Advance other than a Base Rate Advance on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or (c) any assignment
of a Libor Rate Advance on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefore as a result of a request by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.15; including any loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising
from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Advance, from fees payable to terminate the deposits
from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The Borrower shall also pay any customary
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the
Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 2.12, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Libor Rate Advance made by it
at the Libor Base Rate used in determining the Libor Rate for such Advance by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore
interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Libor Rate Advance
was in fact so funded.

 

Section 2.13 Increased Costs.

 

(a) Libor
Rate Advances. If due to either (i) the adoption of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of
reserve requirements included in the Libor Rate Reserve Percentage) in any applicable Legal Requirement or in the interpretation
of any applicable Legal Requirement or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or
making, funding, or maintaining Libor Rate Advances, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with
a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender
additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased
cost and detailing the calculation of such cost submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

(b) Capital
Adequacy. If any Lender determines in good faith that compliance with any applicable Legal Requirement or any guideline or
request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect
the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that
the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend and other commitments
of this type, then, upon 30 days’ prior written notice by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of any such demand to
the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender from time
to time as specified by such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in light of such circumstances to the
extent that

 

    	29

    	 

    

 

such Lender reasonably determines
such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend under this Agreement. A certificate
as to such amounts and detailing the calculation of such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

(c) Dodd-Frank
Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of this Agreement, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, guidelines or directives in connection therewith are deemed to have gone into
effect and adopted after the date of this Agreement.

 

Section 2.14 Taxes.

 

(a) No
Deduction for Certain Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrower shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.10, free and
clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings sought
by any Governmental Authority, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative
Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender
or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision of the jurisdiction (all such non excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”)
and, in the case of each Lender, Taxes by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision
of such jurisdiction. If the Borrower shall be required by applicable Legal Requirement to deduct any Taxes from or in respect
of any sum payable to any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that,
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14), such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made; provided, however, that if the Borrower’s obligation to deduct or withhold Taxes is caused solely
by such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s failure to provide the forms described in paragraph (d) of this Section
2.14 and such Lender or the Administrative Agent could have provided such forms, no such increase shall be required; (ii) the Borrower
shall make such deductions; and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other
authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(b) Other
Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property
taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise
with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes, or the other Loan Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

 

(c) Indemnification.
THE BORROWER INDEMNIFIES EACH LENDER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF TAXES OR OTHER TAXES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY TAXES OR OTHER TAXES IMPOSED BY ANY JURISDICTION ON AMOUNTS PAYABLE UNDER THIS SECTION 2.14) PAID BY SUCH LENDER
OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (AS THE CASE MAY BE) AND ANY LIABILITY (INCLUDING INTEREST AND EXPENSES) ARISING

 

    	30

    	 

    

 

THEREFROM OR WITH RESPECT THERETO,
WHETHER OR NOT SUCH TAXES OR OTHER TAXES WERE CORRECTLY OR LEGALLY ASSERTED; PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT BE AVAILABLE
TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH TAXES OR LIABILITIES ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT
TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. EACH PAYMENT REQUIRED
TO BE MADE BY THE BORROWER IN RESPECT OF THIS INDEMNIFICATION SHALL BE MADE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ANY
PARTY CLAIMING SUCH INDEMNIFICATION WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THE BORROWER RECEIVES WRITTEN DEMAND THEREFOR FROM THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY SUCH LENDER. IF ANY LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT RECEIVES A REFUND
IN RESPECT OF ANY TAXES PAID BY THE BORROWER UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH (C), SUCH LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AS THE CASE MAY
BE, SHALL PROMPTLY PAY TO THE BORROWER THE BORROWER’S SHARE OF SUCH REFUND.

 

(d) Foreign
Lender Withholding Exemption. Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state
thereof agrees that it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (i) two duly completed copies of United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W8-ECI or W8-BEN or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such
Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes payable to it, without deduction or withholding of any
United States federal income taxes, (ii) if applicable, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 or successor applicable form,
as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, and (iii) any other governmental forms
which are necessary or required under an applicable tax treaty or otherwise by law to reduce or eliminate any withholding tax,
which have been reasonably requested by the Borrower. Each Lender which delivers to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a
Form W8-ECI or W8-BEN and Form W-8 or W-9 pursuant to the next preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent two further copies of the said letter and Form W8-ECI or W8-BEN and Form W-8 or W-9, or successor
applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such letter or form expires
or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent letter and form previously delivered
by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent certifying in the case of a Form W8-ECI or W8-BEN that such Lender is entitled to receive
payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. If an event (including
without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any delivery required by the
preceding sentence would otherwise be required that renders all such forms inapplicable or that would prevent any Lender from duly
completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, and
in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, such Lender shall not be
required to deliver such letter or forms. Upon notice by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall withhold tax at the rate
and in the manner required by the laws of the

 

    	31

    	 

    

 

United States with respect to
payments made to a Lender failing to timely provide the requisite Internal Revenue Service forms.

 

Section 2.15 Mitigation; Replacement of Lender.

 

(a) Designation
of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13 or requires the Borrower to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall
use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights
and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation
or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future
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 and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment. A Lender shall not be required to make any such delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a
waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such delegation cease to apply.

 

(b) Replacement
of Lender. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13(a) or (b), (ii) any Lender suspends its obligation to
continue, or Convert Advances into, Libor Rate Advances pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) or Section 2.11, or (iii) any Lender becomes
a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender, a “Subject Lender”), then (A) in the case of a Defaulting Lender, the
Administrative Agent may, upon notice to the Subject Lender and the Borrower, require such Subject Lender to assign and delegate,
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.06), all
of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) and (B) in the case of any Subject Lender,
including a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, upon notice to the Subject Lender and the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s
sole cost and expense, require such Subject Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to
the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender,
if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that, in any event:

 

(i) as
to assignments requested by the Borrower, the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified
in Section 9.06;

 

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

 

    	32

    	 

    

 

(iii) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13, such assignment will result in a reduction
in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

 

(iv)
such assignment does not conflict with applicable Legal Requirements.

 

A Lender shall not be required
to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances
entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Solely for purposes of effecting the assignment
required for a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.15 and to the extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, each
Lender hereby designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, for and on behalf of and in the name of such Lender to execute, acknowledge and deliver the Assignment and Acceptance
required hereunder if such Lender was a Defaulting Lender and such Lender shall be bound thereby as fully and effectively as if
such Lender had personally executed, acknowledged and delivered the same.

 

Section
2.16 Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender
that is a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender or Potential
Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, 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, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase
such portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine
to be necessary to cause the Advances of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments,
whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender and will be a non-defaulting Lender (and
the Advances and of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that
no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such
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 or Potential Defaulting Lender to non-defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting
Lender.

ARTICLE VIII

 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

Section
8.01 Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as
agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms
hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly
provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes),
the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to
refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required
Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary
to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or applicable law.

 

Section 8.02
Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents,
or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken (INCLUDING THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OWN NEGLIGENCE)
by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except

 

    	62

    	 

    

 

for its or their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a)
may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives written notice of the
assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; (b) may consult
with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and
shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such
counsel, accountants, or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any
Lender for any statements, warranties, or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or to
inspect the Property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries; (e) shall not be responsible to
any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, or value of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document; and (:t) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate, or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to
be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

 

Section
8.03 The Administrative Agent and Its Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, the Advances made by it, and the Notes
issued to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise
the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent. The term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary,
all as if the Administrative Agent were not an agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

Section
8.04 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender and based on the Financial Statements and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it shall, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

Section
8.05 Indemnification. THE LENDERS SEVERALLY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR
RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY THE BORROWER), ACCORDING TO THEIR RESPECTIVE
PRO RATA SHARES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS,
EXPENSES, OR DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER

 

    	63

    	 

    

 

WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED
ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (INCLUDING THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OWN NEGLIGENCE), AND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS AND ANY LIABILITIES
ARISING UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, PROVIDED THAT NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PORTION OF SUCH LIABILITIES,
OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DISBURSEMENTS RESULTING FROM THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EACH LENDER AGREES
TO REIMBURSE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PROMPTLY UPON DEMAND FOR ITS RATABLE SHARE OF ANY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING
COUNSEL FEES) INCURRED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE PREPARATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ADMINISTRATION,
MODIFICATION, AMENDMENT, OR ENFORCEMENT (WHETHER THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, OR OTHERWISE) OF, OR LEGAL ADVICE
IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS OR RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IS NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH BY THE BORROWER. To the extent that the indemnity obligations provided in
this Section 8.05 are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent as the named secured party under the Liens granted under
the Security Instruments, each Lender hereby agrees that if such Lender ceases to be a Lender hereunder but Obligations owing
to such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender continue to be secured by such Liens, then such Lender shall continue to be
bound by the provisions of this Section 8.05 until such time as such Obligations have been satisfied or terminated in
full and subject to the terms of the last sentence of Section 9.10.

 

Section 8.06 Successor
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 30 days prior written
notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders
upon receipt of written notice from the Required Lenders to such effect. Upon receipt of notice of any such resignation or
removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent with, if any Event of Default
has not occurred and is not continuing, the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If no
successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders with the consent of the Borrower, and
shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of
resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be, in the case
of a successor agent, a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000; provided that, if the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall
nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by the Administrative Agent

 

    	64

    	 

    

 

on behalf
of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security
until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided
to be made by, to or through the retiring Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lender
directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent, as provided for above in this paragraph.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions
of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative
Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section
8.07 Additional Agents. None of the agents (other than the Administrative Agent) or arrangers referred to on the cover of
this Agreement shall have any duties, obligations or liabilities in their respective capacities as agents or arrangers.

 

Section 8.08 Collateral Matters.

 

(a) The
Administrative Agent is authorized on behalf of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent
from the Secured Parties, from time to time, to take any actions with respect to any Collateral or Security Instruments which may
be necessary to perfect and maintain Acceptable Security Interests in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security
Instruments. The Administrative Agent is further authorized on behalf of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice
to or further consent from the Secured Parties, from time to time, to take any action (other than enforcement actions requiring
the consent of, or request by, the Required Lenders as set forth in Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 above) in exigent circumstances
as may be reasonably necessary to preserve any rights or privileges of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents or applicable
law. By accepting the benefit of the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Instruments, each Secured Party not party hereto hereby
agrees to the terms of this paragraph (a).

 

(b) Each Secured Party
irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral:
(i) upon termination of the Commitments, ; (ii) constituting Property sold or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or
in connection with any disposition permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iii) constituting Property in
which the Borrower or any Subsidiary owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting
Property leased to the Borrower or any Subsidiary under a lease which has expired or has been terminated in a transaction permitted
under this Agreement or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by the Borrower or such Subsidiary to be,
renewed or extended; or(v) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the applicable Required Lenders or all the Lenders,
as the case may be, as required by Section 9.01. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time, the Secured Parties
will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant
to

 

    	65

    	 

    

 

this
Section 8.08. By accepting the benefit of the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Instruments, each Secured Party not party
hereto hereby agrees to the terms of this paragraph (b).

Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the
Commitments of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The

Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.

of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Notes for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower,

other amounts payable hereunder, or extensions of the Maturity Date, or the Commitment Termination Date. The Borrower hereby agrees

Form of Guaranty

 

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

This Guaranty
Agreement dated as of May 9, 2014 (this “Guaranty”) is executed by TFI Operating Company, Inc., a Colorado corporation
(“Guarantor”), in favor of Guaranty Bank and Trust Company, as Administrative Agent (as defined below) for the
ratable benefit of itself and the Lenders (as defined below; together with the Administrative Agent, individually a “Beneficiary”,
and collectively, the “Beneficiaries”).

 

A. This
Guaranty is given in connection with that certain Credit Agreement dated as of May 9, 2014 (as it has been or may be amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Three Forks, Inc., a Colorado corporation
(the “Borrower”), the lenders party thereto from time to time (individually, a “Lender” and
collectively, the “Lenders”), and Guaranty Bank and Trust Company, as administrative agent (in such capacity,
the “Administrative Agent”).

 

B. Guarantor
desires to execute and deliver this Guaranty to secure the due payment and performance of all Obligations (as defined in the Credit
Agreement).

 

C. Guarantor
is a Subsidiary of the Borrower and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the premises, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

 

Section 1. Definitions.
All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Guaranty that are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms by the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 2.
Guaranty. Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment and performance,
when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of (i) all Obligations, whether absolute or contingent and
whether for principal, interest (including, without limitation, interest that but for the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization
or similar proceeding would accrue), fees, amounts required to be provided as collateral, indemnities, expenses or otherwise, and
(ii) all obligations under this Guaranty (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed
Obligations and would be owed by the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Loan
Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to insolvency or the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization
or similar proceeding involving the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof.

 

Section 3.
Guaranty Absolute. Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms
of the Loan Documents regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of
such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent, and any Lender with respect thereto. The obligations of Guarantor under this
Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Person under the Loan Documents, and
a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether
any action is brought against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or whether the Borrower, any other Guarantor
or any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable,
absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and Guarantor hereby irrevocably and

 

Exhibit
C - Form of Guaranty

unconditionally waives any defenses it may now or
hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

 

(a) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations being irrecoverable;

 

(b) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
obligations of any Person under the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan
Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional
credit to the Borrower or to any Subsidiary thereof or otherwise;

 

(c) any
taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure
from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(d) any
manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or
other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Person under
the Loan Documents or any other assets of the Borrower or any other Person;

 

(e) any

Section
4. Continuation and Reinstatement, Etc. Guarantor agrees that, to the extent that payments of any of the Guaranteed Obligations
are made, or any Lender, the Administrative Agent, receives any proceeds of collateral, and such payments or proceeds or any part

then to the extent of such repayment the Guaranteed Obligations shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of
the date such initial payment or collection of proceeds occurred. GUARANTOR SHALL DEFEND AND INDEMNIFY EACH BENEFICIARY FROM AND
AGAINST ANY CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY, COST OR EXPENSE UNDER THIS SECTION 4 (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’

(a) Guarantor
hereby waives promptness, diligence, presentment, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property
or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower or any other Person or any collateral. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, Guarantor waives any rights which it might otherwise have under Colorado Revised Statutes §§ 13-50-102
or 13-50-103 (or under any corresponding future statute or rule of law in any jurisdiction) by reason of any release of fewer than
all Guarantors.

 

(b) Guarantor

or any Subsidiary thereof contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in this Guaranty are knowingly made
in contemplation of such benefits.

 

Section
6. Subrogation. Guarantor will not exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or
any other Person to the extent that such rights arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of Guarantor’s
obligations under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or otherwise, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Beneficiary
against the Borrower or any other Person, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute
or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower or any other Person, directly or indirectly,
in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right,
unless and until the occurrence of Guaranty Termination (as defined in Section 13 below). If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor
in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to Guaranty Termination, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit
of the Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations
and any and all other amounts payable by the Guarantor under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the
terms of the Loan Documents.

 

Section 7. Subordination.
Guarantor hereby subordinates (in liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, reorganization, or otherwise) all sums due and owing to
Guarantor by the Borrower or any other Guarantor, if any, to all sums due and owing to any Beneficiary by the Borrower or Guarantor.

any such subordinated obligation owing to Guarantor, except as permitted under the Credit Agreement.

has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information

Affiliate thereof to the account of Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, irrespective
of whether or not such Beneficiary shall have made any demand under this Guaranty and although such obligations may be contingent
and unmatured. Such Beneficiary shall promptly notify the affected Guarantor after any such set-off and application is made, provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Beneficiaries
under this Section 9 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which

purpose for which given; provided that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the
Lenders, (a) release Guarantor from its obligations hereunder except as permitted under Section 8.08(b) of the Credit Agreement

to any of the underlying obligations guaranteed hereunder shall not be deemed to release or limit the liability of Guarantor within
the meaning of this clause (a)), (b) postpone any date fixed for payment hereunder in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
or (c) change the percentage of the Lenders required to take any action hereunder.

 

Section 11.

limitation, all or any portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person,

SUPPLEMENT
NO. ____ dated as of _________, ___ (the “Supplement”), to the Guaranty Agreement dated as of May 9, 2014 (as
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty Agreement”), by certain affiliates
(each such affiliate individually, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) of Three
Forks, Inc. (the “Borrower”) in favor of Guaranty Bank and Trust, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative
Agent”) for the benefit of the Beneficiaries (as defined in the Guaranty Agreement).

 

A. Reference
is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of May 9, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”),
the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Guaranty Agreement).

 

B. Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Guaranty Agreement and
the Credit Agreement.

 

C. The
Guarantors have entered into the Guaranty Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Advances. Pursuant to Section 6.18 of
the Credit Agreement, the Subsidiaries of the Borrower are required to enter into the Guaranty Agreement as Guarantors. Section
17 of the Guaranty Agreement provides that such Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become Guarantors under the Guaranty Agreement
by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary of the Borrower (the “New
Guarantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Guarantor
under the Guaranty Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Advances as consideration for Advances previously
made.

 

Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Guarantor
agree as follows:

 

SECTION
1. In accordance with Section 17 of the Guaranty Agreement, the New Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Guarantor under
the Guaranty Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor and the New Guarantor hereby
(a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guaranty Agreement applicable to it as a Guarantor thereunder and (b) represents
and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Guarantor thereunder are true and correct in all material
respects on and as of the date hereof. Each reference to a “Guarantor” in the Guaranty Agreement shall be deemed to
include the New Guarantor. The Guaranty Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

SECTION
2. The New Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Beneficiaries that this Supplement has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’
rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement
is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)).

 

SECTION
3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts
of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Guarantor and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of
an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of
a manually executed counterpart of this Supplement.

Documents, and the New Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be

so, any right it may have to the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The New
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 Guarantor at its address set forth

affect the right of any Beneficiary to bring any action or proceeding against the New Guarantor or its Property in the courts
of any other jurisdiction.

 

SECTION
6. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Guaranty Agreement shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision hereof in a particular
jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall
endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic
effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

SECTION
7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 11 of the Guaranty Agreement.

the order of _________ (“Payee”) the principal amount of __________________No/100 Dollars ($ ) or,
if less, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below) made

amount is paid in full, at such interest rates, and at such times, as are specified in the Credit Agreement.

 

This Promissory
Note (“Note”) is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, and is subject to the
terms of, the Credit Agreement dated as of May 9, 2014 (as the same may be amended or modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Guaranty Bank and
Trust Company, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”). Capitalized terms used in this Note that

an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Dollar amount first above mentioned, the indebtedness of the Borrower
resulting from each such Advance being evidenced by this Note, and (b) contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity of
this Note upon the happening of certain events of default stated in the Credit Agreement and for prepayments of principal prior
to the maturity of this Note upon the terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement.

 

Both principal
and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America to the Administrative Agent at the location or address
specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower in same day funds. The Payee shall record payments of principal
made under this Note, but no failure of the Payee to make such recordings shall affect the Borrower’s repayment obligations

Except
as specifically provided in the Credit Agreement, the Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to
accelerate, notice of acceleration, and any other notice of any kind. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights
hereunder on the part of the holder of this Note shall operate as a waiver of such rights. In the event of any explicit or implicit
conflict between any provision of this Note and any provision of the Credit Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall
be controlling.

 

THIS NOTE
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF COLORADO.

 

THIS
NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

Security Agreement shall not release any Grantor from its obligations and duties under any of the Contract Documents, or any other
contract or instrument which are part of the Collateral and Accounts included in the Collateral, (ii) the exercise by the Administrative
Agent of any of its rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under any Contract Documents,

Agent may deem necessary, and (ii) such Grantor will, until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations
and the termination or expiration of the Commitments, warrant and defend its title to the Collateral and the interest of the Administrative
Agent in the Collateral against any claim or demand of any Persons (other than Permitted Liens) which could reasonably be expected
to materially adversely affect such Grantor’s title to, or the Administrative Agent’s right or interest in, such Collateral.

 

5. Termination
of Security Interest. Upon the occurrence of Security Termination, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate
and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor to the extent such Collateral shall not have been sold

expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Grantor such documents (including, without limitation, UCC-3 termination statements)
as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

any payments on the Secured Obligations previously made must be disgorged by any Secured Party for any reason whatsoever, including,
without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor or any other Person, this Security Agreement and
the Administrative Agent’s security interests herein shall be reinstated as to all disgorged payments as though such payments
had not been made, and each Grantor shall sign and deliver to the Administrative Agent all documents, and shall do such other acts
and things, as may be necessary to reinstate and perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest. EACH GRANTOR SHALL
DEFEND AND INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH OTHER SECURED PARTY FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY,
COST OR EXPENSE UNDER THIS SECTION 6 (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) IN THE DEFENSE OF ANY SUCH ACTION
OR SUIT INCLUDING SUCH CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY, COST, OR EXPENSE ARISING AS A RESULT OF THE INDEMNIFIED SECURED PARTY’S

BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH INDEMNIFIED SECURED PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

sale and that the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person who may be a bona fide purchaser for value
and without notice of any claims of any or all of the Collateral so sold shall thereafter hold the same absolutely free from any
claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption of any Grantor, any such demand, notice or right and equity
being hereby expressly waived and released to the extent permitted by law; (iv) incur expenses, including attorneys’ fees,
reasonable consultants’ fees, and other costs appropriate to the exercise of any right or power under this Security Agreement;
(v) perform any obligation of any Grantor hereunder and make payments, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge
or lien, and pay taxes and expenses, without, however, any obligation to do so; (vi) in connection with any acceleration and foreclosure,
take possession of the Collateral and render it usable and repair and renovate the same, without, however, any obligation to do
so, and enter upon any location where the Collateral may be located for that purpose, control, manage, operate, rent and lease
the Collateral, collect all rents and income from the Collateral and apply the same to reimburse the Secured Parties for any cost
or expenses incurred hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents and to the payment or performance of any Grantor’s obligations
hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, and apply the balance to the other Secured Obligations and any remaining excess balance
to whomsoever is legally entitled thereto; (vii) secure the appointment of a receiver for the Collateral or any part thereof; (viii)
require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent
forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative
Agent at a place to be designated by the Administrative Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ix) exercise any
other or additional rights or remedies granted to a secured party under the UCC; or (x) occupy any premises owned or leased by
any Grantor where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and
remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to any Grantor in respect of such occupation. If, pursuant to applicable law,
prior notice of sale of the Collateral under this Section is required to be given to any Grantor, each Grantor hereby acknowledges
that the minimum time required by such applicable law, or if no minimum time is specified, 10 days, shall be deemed a reasonable
notice period. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place
fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

 

(b) All
costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any suit
or proceeding in connection with the performance by the Administrative Agent of any of the agreements contained in any of the Contract
Documents, or in connection with any exercise of its rights or remedies hereunder, pursuant to the terms of this Security Agreement,
shall constitute additional indebtedness secured by this Security Agreement and shall be paid on demand by the Grantors to the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.

 

8. Remedies
Cumulative; Delay Not Waiver.

 

(a) No
right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Administrative Agent is intended to be exclusive of any other right,
power or remedy and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion
or

 

Exhibit G   - Form of Security Agreement

Page

employment
of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate
right or remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent may be taken concurrently or successively
and in one or several consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken nonjudicial proceedings, or both.

 

(b) No
delay or omission of the Administrative Agent to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event
of Default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Security Agreement may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Administrative Agent.

 

9. Contract
Rights. The Administrative Agent may exercise any of the Contract Rights and remedies of any Grantor under or in connection
with the Instruments, Chattel Paper, or Contracts which represent Accounts, the General Intangibles, or which otherwise relate
to the Collateral, including, without limitation, any rights of any Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount
under, or performance of any provisions of, the Instruments, Chattel Paper, or Contracts which represent Accounts, or the General
Intangibles.

 

10.
Accounts.

 

(a) The
Administrative Agent may, or may direct any Grantor to, take any action the Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable to
enforce collection of the Accounts, including, without limitation, notifying the account debtors or obligors under any Accounts
of the assignment of such Accounts to the Administrative Agent and directing such account debtors or obligors to make payment of
all amounts due or to become due directly to the Administrative Agent. Upon such notification and direction, and at the expense
of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such Accounts, and adjust, settle, or compromise the amount
or payment thereof in the same manner and to the same extent as any Grantor might have done.

 

(b) After
receipt by any Grantor of the notice referred to in Section 10(a) above that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
all amounts and Proceeds (including instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the Accounts shall be received in trust
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall promptly
be paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) to be held as Collateral.
No Grantor shall adjust, settle, or compromise the amount or payment of any Account, nor release wholly or partly any account debtor
or obligor thereof, nor allow any credit or discount thereon other than in the ordinary course of business and consistent with
past practices.

 

11. Application of Collateral.
The proceeds of any sale, or other realization (other than that received from a sale or other realization permitted by the
Credit Agreement) upon all or any part of the Collateral pledged by any Grantor shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as
set forth in Section 7.06 of the Credit Agreement.

 

12. Rights
Retained by Grantors. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Grantors shall be entitled
(a) to receive and retain all revenues and other moneys pledged hereby as Collateral and the proceeds of any disposition of any
of their respective Properties constituting Collateral provided that such disposition is permitted under the Credit Agreement,
and (b) protect, enforce and exercise its rights under any of the Contract Documents; provided, however, that no Grantor shall
exercise nor shall it refrain from exercising any such right if such action or inaction, as applicable, would have a materially
adverse effect on the value of the applicable Collateral.

13. Administrative
Agent as Attorney-in-Fact for Grantor. Each Grantor hereby constitutes and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent,
acting for and on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties and each successor or assign of the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties, the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Grantor, with full power and authority in the place and stead of
such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent or otherwise to take any action and execute any instrument
at the written direction of the Secured Parties and enforce all rights, interests and remedies of such Grantor with respect to
the Collateral, including the right:

 

(xiv) to
ask, require, demand, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or
arising out of any of the other Collateral, including without limitation, any Insurance Contracts;

 

(xv) to
elect remedies thereunder and to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith;

 

(xvi) to
file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings in connection therewith which the Administrative Agent may deem
to be necessary or advisable;

 

(xvii) to
pay, settle or compromise all bills and claims which may be or become liens or security interests against any or all of the Collateral,
or any part thereof, unless a bond or other security satisfactory to the Administrative Agent has been provided; and

 

(xviii) upon
foreclosure, to do any and every act which any Grantor may do on its behalf with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof
and to exercise any or all of such Grantor’s rights and remedies under any or all of the Collateral;

 

provided,
however, that the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any such rights except upon the occurrence and continuation of an
Event of Default. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

 

14. Administrative
Agent May Perform.  The Administrative Agent may from time-to-time perform any act which any Grantor has agreed hereunder
to perform and which such Grantor shall fail to perform after receiving five (5) days prior written notice of the request to perform
(it being understood that no such request need be given (a) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default
and after notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to any Grantor or (b) if such failure to perform would have an adverse effect
on the perfection of any security interest granted under this Security Agreement or would have a material adverse effect on the
value of the applicable Collateral) and the Administrative Agent may from time-to-time take any other action which the Administrative
Agent deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein,
and the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be part of the Secured Obligations and shall
be secured hereby.

 

15. Administrative
Agent Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for reasonable care of any Collateral in its
possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any
Collateral or responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining
to any Collateral.

 

Exhibit G   - Form of Security Agreement

Page

16. Reasonable
Care. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the
Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent
accords its own Property.

 

17. Payments
Held in Trust. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with
any Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and shall be segregated from other funds
of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as received (with any necessary endorsement).

 

18.
Miscellaneous.

 

(xix) Expenses.
Each Grantor will upon demand pay (a) all costs and expenses required by Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement and (b) to the Administrative
Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties the amount of any out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees and disbursements
of its counsel and of any experts, which the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may incur in connection with (i)
the custody, preservation, use, or operation of, or the sale, collection, or other realization of, any of the Collateral, (ii)
the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder, and (iii) the
failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

 

(xx) Amendments;
Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Security Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom
shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and executed by the affected Grantor and the Administrative Agent (acting
upon the written direction of the Required Lenders and given in accordance with the Credit Agreement), and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

 

(xxi) Addresses
for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be made in the manner and to the addresses set
forth in the Credit Agreement or on the signature page hereto.

 

(xxii) Continuing
Security Interest; Transfer of Interest. This Security Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral
and, unless expressly released by the Administrative Agent, shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the occurrence of Security
Termination, (ii) be binding upon each Grantor and its successors, transferees and assigns, and (iii) inure, together with the
rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of and be binding upon, each Secured Party and each of
its successors, transferees, and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause, when any Lender assigns or otherwise
transfers any interest held by it under the Credit Agreement or other Loan Document to any other Person pursuant to the terms of
the Credit Agreement or such other Loan Document, that other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits held by
such Lender under this Security Agreement.

 

(xxiii) Severability.
Wherever possible each provision of this Security Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Security Agreement.

 

(xxiv) Choice
of Law. This Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
Colorado, except to the extent that the validity or

perfection of the security
interests hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction
other than the state of Colorado.

 

(xxv) Counterparts.
The parties may execute this Security Agreement in counterparts, each of which constitutes an original, and all of which, collectively,
constitute only one agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart signature page by facsimile or other electronic transmission
is as effective as executing and delivering this Security Agreement in the presence of the other parties to this Security Agreement.
In proving this Security Agreement, a party must produce or account only for the executed counterpart of the party to be charged.

 

(xxvi) Headings.
Paragraph headings have been inserted in this Security Agreement as a matter of convenience for reference only and it is agreed
that such paragraph headings are not a part of this Security Agreement and shall not be used in the interpretation of any provision
of this Security Agreement.

 

(xxvii) Conflicts.
In the event of any explicit or implicit conflict between any provision of this Security Agreement and any provision of the Credit
Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall be controlling.

 

(xxviii) Additional
Grantors. Pursuant to Section 6.15 of the Credit Agreement, each Subsidiary of the Borrower that was not in existence on the
date of the Credit Agreement may be required to enter into this Security Agreement as a Grantor upon becoming a Subsidiary of the
Borrower. Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Administrative Agent and such Subsidiary of an instrument in
the form of Annex 1, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named
as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement
shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain
in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement.

 

(xxix) Entire
Agreement. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS THAT ARE SECURED HEREBY REPRESENT THE
FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS
OF THE PARTIES.

 

THERE
ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO.
