Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow hereunder. The obligation of the Borrower to repay to each Lender the aggregate amount of all of the Loans made by such Lender, together with interest accruing in connection therewith, shall, at the request of such Lender, be evidenced by a single promissory note (herein called such Lender’s “Note”) made by the Borrower payable to such Lender or its registered assigns in the form of Exhibit A with appropriate insertions. The amount of principal owing on any Lender’s Note at any given time shall be the aggregate amount of all of the Loans theretofore made by such Lender minus all payments of principal theretofore received by such Lender on such Note.

Section 2.2. Requests for New Loans.

| 39 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(ii) be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on (A) the day on which any such Base Rate Loans are to be made or (B) the third (3rd) U.S. Government Securities Business Day preceding the day on which any such SOFR Loans are to be made.

Each such written request or confirmation must be made in the form and substance of the “Borrowing Notice” attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, duly completed, and each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. Each such telephonic request shall be deemed a representation, warranty, acknowledgment, and agreement by the Borrower as to the matters that are required to be set out in such written confirmation. If no election as to the Type of Loans comprising a Borrowing is specified in a Borrowing Notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be comprised of Base Rate Loans. If no Interest Period is specified in a Borrowing Notice with respect to any requested Borrowing of SOFR Loans, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(b) Notice to Lenders by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such Borrowing Notice, the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the terms thereof. If all of the conditions precedent to such new Loans have been met, each Lender will on the date requested promptly remit to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Lending Office the amount of such Lender’s new Loan in immediately available funds, and upon receipt of such funds, unless to its actual knowledge any conditions precedent to such Loans have been neither met nor waived as provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall promptly make such Loans available to the Borrower.

(c) Presumption of Funding by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with this Section 2.2 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (1) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (2) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

| 40 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

Section 2.3. Continuations and Conversions of Existing Loans.

(a) Continuations and Conversions. The Borrower may make the following elections with respect to Loans already outstanding: to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, to convert SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and to continue SOFR Loans beyond the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto by designating a new Interest Period to take effect at the time of such expiration. In making such elections, the Borrower may combine existing Loans made pursuant to separate Borrowings into one new Borrowing or divide existing Loans made pursuant to one Borrowing into separate new Borrowings; provided, however, that the Borrower may have no more than five (5) Borrowings of SOFR Loans outstanding at any time.

(b) Continuation/Conversion Notices. To make any such election, the Borrower must give to the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of any such Conversion or Continuation of existing Loans, with a separate notice given for each new Borrowing. Each such notice constitutes a “Continuation/Conversion Notice” hereunder and must:

(i) specify the existing Loans that are to be Continued or Converted;

(ii) specify (A) the aggregate amount of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans into which such existing Loans are to be Converted and the date on which such Conversion is to occur (which date shall be a Business Day) or (B) the aggregate amount of any Borrowing of SOFR Loans into which such existing Loans are to be Continued or Converted, the date on which such Continuation or Conversion is to occur (which date shall be a Business Day and shall be the first day of the Interest Period that is to apply to such SOFR Loans), and the length of the Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(iii) be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on (A) the day on which any such Conversion to Base Rate Loans is to occur or (B) the third (3rd) U.S. Government Securities Business Day preceding the day on which any such Continuation or Conversion to SOFR Loans is to occur.

Each such written request or confirmation must be made in the form and substance of the “Continuation/Conversion Notice” attached hereto as Exhibit B-2, duly completed, and each Continuation/Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. Each such telephonic request shall be deemed a representation, warranty, acknowledgment, and agreement by the Borrower as to the matters that are required to be set out in such written confirmation.

(c) Notice to Lenders by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such Continuation/Conversion Notice, the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the terms thereof. No new funds shall be repaid by the Borrower or advanced by any Lender in connection with any Continuation or Conversion of existing Loans pursuant to this section, and no such Continuation or Conversion shall be deemed to be a new advance of funds for any purpose; such Continuations and Conversions merely constitute a change in the interest rate applicable to already outstanding Loans.

| 41 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(d) Effect of Failure to Deliver Timely Continuation/Conversion Notice and Events of Default on Interest Election. Upon the expiration of an Interest Period, in the absence of a Continuation/Conversion Notice submitted to the Administrative Agent not less than three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the end of such Interest Period, the SOFR Loans then maturing shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Borrowing Base Deficiency or an Event of Default exists, (1) the commitment of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, continue SOFR Loans as SOFR Loans, or convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans shall be immediately suspended, (2) any request for a SOFR Loan or for a conversion to or continuation of a SOFR Loan shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan, and (3) outstanding SOFR Loans shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period thereof.

Section 2.4. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans to fund the development of the Oil and Gas Properties of the Restricted Persons, to finance acquisitions of Oil and Gas Properties permitted hereby, to finance capital expenditures, to refinance Letter of Credit Liabilities, to pay fees and expenses incurred under the Loan Documents, and to provide working capital for its operations and for other lawful general business purposes. The Borrower shall use all of the Letters of Credit for its lawful general business purposes. In no event shall the funds from any Loan or any Letter of Credit be used directly or indirectly by any Person for personal, family, household, or agricultural purposes or for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental, or ultimate, of purchasing, acquiring, or carrying any “margin stock” (as such term is defined in Regulation U) or to extend credit to others directly or indirectly for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock. The Borrower represents and warrants that the Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of the Borrower’s important activities, in the business of extending credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying such margin stock. No Borrowing or Letter of Credit, use of proceeds, or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will violate any Anti-Corruption Law or applicable Sanctions.

Section 2.5. Interest Rates and Fees; Payment Dates.

(a) Interest Rates. From and following the Closing Date, depending upon the Borrower’s election from time to time, subject to the terms hereof, to have Borrowings of the Loans accrue interest determined by reference to the Adjusted Base Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Margin Rate, the principal amount of the Loans outstanding from day to day shall bear interest at the applicable rates per annum set forth below:

(i) if a Base Rate Loan, then at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate; and

(ii) if a SOFR Loan, then at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Margin Rate.

(b) Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, or otherwise, and at all times when a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, all of the outstanding Loans shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

| 42 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(c) Unused Fees. From and following the Closing Date, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, an unused fee (determined on a daily basis) in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Unused Availability at the end of each such day and (ii) the Commitment Fee Rate. Accrued unused fees shall be due and payable in arrears on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter and at the end of the Commitment Period.

(d) Borrowing Base Increase Fee. The Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender then party to this Agreement, on each Determination Date on which the Borrowing Base is increased, a borrowing base increase fee in an amount to be mutually agreed upon and to be set forth in a separate written agreement. Such borrowing base increase fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of such Borrowing Base increase.

(e) Fee Letter. In addition to all of the other amounts due under the Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent the fees required by the Fee Letter.

(f) Payment Dates. On each Interest Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders to whom such payment is owed all of the unpaid interest that has accrued on the Loans to but excluding such Interest Payment Date. On the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders to whom such payment is owed the entire unpaid principal balance of the Loans then outstanding and all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans.

Section 2.6. Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, from time to time and without premium or penalty, prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (A) on the Business Day preceding the day on which any Base Rate Loan is to be prepaid and (B) on the third (3rd ) U.S. Government Securities Business Day preceding the day on which any SOFR Loan is to be prepaid, (ii) the aggregate amount of any partial prepayment of principal of the Loans equals $100,000.00 or any higher integral multiple of $100,000.00 (or, if the remaining balance of the Loans is less than $100,000, then the amount of such remaining balance), and (iii) if the Borrower prepays any SOFR Loan on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, it shall pay to the Administrative Agent any amounts due under Section 2.16. Each prepayment of principal under this section shall be accompanied by all of the interest then accrued and unpaid on the principal so prepaid. Any principal or interest prepaid pursuant to this section shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all payments otherwise required to be paid under the Loan Documents at the time of such prepayment.

Section 2.7. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Aggregate Commitment Prepayments. If at any time the Facility Usage exceeds the Aggregate Commitment (whether due to a reduction in the Aggregate Commitment in accordance with this Agreement or otherwise), the Borrower shall immediately upon demand prepay the principal of the Loans (and after all of the Loans are repaid in full, provide Cash Collateral in accordance with Section 2.14) in an amount at least equal to such excess.

| 43 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(b) Borrowing Base Deficiency Prepayments. If at any time the Facility Usage is less than or equal to the Aggregate Commitment but in excess of the Borrowing Base (such excess being herein called a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”), within ten (10) days after the Administrative Agent delivers a Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice to the Borrower, the Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent electing to eliminate the Borrowing Base Deficiency as provided in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) of this subsection, or in a combination of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this subsection (such notice from the Borrower, the “Election Notice”), whereupon the Borrower shall be obligated to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency in such manner, and any failure to deliver such Election Notice shall be deemed to be an election by the Borrower to eliminate such deficiency as provided in clause (i):

(i) prepay the principal of the Loans (and, if the Facility Usage exceeds the Borrowing Base after all of the Loans are repaid in full, provide Cash Collateral in accordance with Section 2.14) in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency (or, if the Facility Usage exceeds the Borrowing Base after the Loans have been paid in full, provide Cash Collateral in accordance with Section 2.14), such prepayment to be made in full on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the Borrower’s receipt of the Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice;

(ii) prepay the principal of the Loans (and after all of the Loans are repaid in full, provide Cash Collateral in accordance with Section 2.14) in up to six (6) monthly installments in an aggregate amount at least equal to such Borrowing Base Deficiency, with each such installment equal to or in excess of one-sixth of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, and with the first such installment to be paid within thirty (30) days after the Borrower’s receipt of the Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice and the subsequent installments to be due and payable at one month intervals thereafter until such Borrowing Base Deficiency has been eliminated; provided, however, the Borrower shall have demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent on or before the date of the first such payment that the Borrower has sufficient available monthly cash from its Projected PDP Oil and Gas Production to make such payments; or

(iii) provide (or cause the other Restricted Persons to provide) Security Documents in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent granting, confirming, and perfecting first and prior Liens on collateral acceptable to all of the Lenders (subject only to Permitted Liens), to the extent needed to allow all of the Lenders to increase the Borrowing Base (as they in their reasonable discretion deem consistent with prudent oil and gas banking industry lending standards at the time) to an amount that eliminates such Borrowing Base Deficiency, and such Security Documents shall be executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days after the Administrative Agent confirms to the Borrower what collateral shall be required. If, prior to any such specification by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders determine that the giving of such Security Documents will not serve to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency, then, within ten (10) days after receiving notice of such determination from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will elect to make, and thereafter make, the prepayments specified in either of the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) of this subsection (b).

| 44 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(c) Excess Cash Prepayments. If, at the end of any Excess Cash Test Day, the Restricted Persons have any Excess Cash, the Borrower shall prepay the principal of the Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of the unpaid principal balance of the Loans and the amount of such Excess Cash within five (5) Business Days after such Excess Cash Test Day (provided that no such prepayment need be made under this subsection if the amount thereof would be less than $100,000 as of the day such prepayment would be required to be made). Each prepayment under this subsection shall be accompanied, on the date of such prepayment, by a notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent specifying (i) the amount of such prepayment, (ii) the specific Borrowings that are being prepaid by such prepayment, including the SOFR Loans, if any, that are being prepaid by such prepayment, and (iii) the date of such prepayment, which notice may be delivered electronically. Each prepayment under this subsection shall be applied to specific Borrowings as specified by the Borrower and shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such prepaid Borrowings; provided that if the Borrower fails to so specify such Borrowings, then the Administrative Agent shall first prepay any outstanding Base Rate Loans and then to any SOFR Loans specified by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

(d) Prepayments Generally. Each prepayment of principal under this section shall be accompanied by all of the interest then accrued and unpaid on the principal so prepaid. Any principal or interest prepaid pursuant to this section shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all payments otherwise required to be paid under the Loan Documents at the time of such prepayment.

Section 2.8. Borrowing Base.

(a) Initial Borrowing Base. During the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the first Determination Date, the Borrowing Base shall be $20,000,000.00.

(b) Scheduled Borrowing Base Redeterminations. By March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall furnish to each Lender all of the information, reports, and data that the Administrative Agent has then reasonably requested concerning the businesses and properties of the Restricted Persons (including their Oil and Gas Properties and interests and the reserves and production relating thereto), together with, as applicable, the Engineering Report as of the preceding December 31 described in Section 4.2(e) or as of June 30 of such year described in Section 4.2(f). Within fifteen (15) days after receiving such information, reports, and data, or as promptly thereafter as practicable, the Administrative Agent shall determine the amount of a proposed Borrowing Base, and the Administrative Agent shall then deliver to each Lender such proposed Borrowing Base. Within fifteen (15) days after the Lenders’ receipt of such proposed Borrowing Base, or as promptly thereafter as practicable, the Required Lenders shall agree on an amount for the Borrowing Base (provided that all of the Lenders must agree on any increase in the Borrowing Base), which Borrowing Base need not be equal to such proposed Borrowing Base. The Required Lenders shall determine the amount of the Borrowing Base based upon the loan collateral value that they in their discretion assign to the discounted net present value of the Oil and Gas Properties of the Restricted Persons included in the Collateral at the time in question and based upon such other credit factors (including the assets, liabilities, cash flow, hedged and unhedged exposure to price, foreign exchange rate, and interest rate changes, business, properties, prospects, management, and ownership of the Restricted Persons) as they in their discretion deem significant. If the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders in the case of an increase in the Borrowing Base) have not approved the Borrowing Base within the fifteen (15) day period after their receipt of such proposed Borrowing Base, the Administrative Agent shall poll the Lenders to ascertain the highest Borrowing Base then acceptable to a number of the Lenders sufficient to constitute the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders in the case of an increase in the Borrowing Base) and such amount shall then become the Borrowing Base. The Administrative Agent shall by notice to the Borrower designate such amount as the new Borrowing Base available to the Borrower hereunder, which designation shall take effect immediately on the date such notice is sent and shall remain in effect until but not including the next Determination Date. It is expressly understood that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have no obligation to agree upon or designate the Borrowing Base at any particular amount, whether in relation to the Maximum Credit Amount or otherwise, and that the Lenders’ commitments to advance funds hereunder are determined by reference to the Borrowing Base from time to time in effect, which Borrowing Base shall be used for calculating unused fees under Section 2.5(c) and, to the extent permitted by Law and regulatory authorities, for the purposes of capital adequacy determination and reimbursements under Section 2.16.

| 45 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(c) Failure to Deliver Engineering Information. If the Borrower does not furnish all such information, reports, and data by the date specified in the first sentence of subsection (b) of this section, the Administrative Agent may nonetheless determine the Borrowing Base at any amount that the Required Lenders determine and may redetermine the Borrowing Base from time to time thereafter (provided that all of the Lenders must agree to any increase in the Borrowing Base) until each Lender receives all such information, reports, and data, whereupon the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders, as applicable) shall designate a new Borrowing Base as described above.

(d) Special Borrowing Base Redeterminations. In addition to the redeterminations of the Borrowing Base pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders) may each request additional determinations (“Special Determinations”) of the Borrowing Base from time to time; provided that no such Person may request more than one (1) Special Determination between Scheduled Determinations. In the event that the Administrative Agent (or the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders) requests such a Special Determination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver notice of such request to the Borrower and the Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days following the date of such request, deliver to the Lenders an Engineering Report prepared by the Staff Engineers (or, at the Borrower’s option, by the Independent Engineers) and such other information that the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested. In the event the Borrower requests a Special Determination, the Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request to the Lenders that includes (i) an Engineering Report prepared by the Staff Engineers (or, at the Borrower’s option, by the Independent Engineers), (ii) the amount of the Borrowing Base requested by the Borrower and to become effective on the Determination Date applicable to such Special Determination, and (iii) such other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of such Engineering Report and other information, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to approval of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders in the event of a proposed increase in the Borrowing Base, redetermine the Borrowing Base in accordance with the procedure set forth in subsection (b) of this section, which Borrowing Base shall become effective on the Determination Date applicable to such Special Determination.

| 46 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

Section 2.9. Letters of Credit. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Commitments may be used by the Borrower, in addition to the making of Loans hereunder, for the issuance, prior to the Maturity Date, (i) by BOKF of letters of credit, guarantees, or other agreements or arrangements (each, a “Support Agreement”) to induce an LC Issuer to issue or increase the amount of, or extend the expiry date of, one or more Letters of Credit and (ii) by any LC Issuer of one or more Letters of Credit (or for increasing the amount or extending the expiry date of one or more outstanding Letters of Credit), so long as, in each case:

(a) the Borrower shall have requested such issuance, increase, or extension in writing at least two (2) Business Days before the relevant date thereof and shall have delivered to the LC Issuer the documents required under Section 2.10;

(b) after giving effect to such issuance, increase, or extension, (i) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities does not exceed the LC Sublimit and (ii) the Facility Usage does not exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Commitment and the Borrowing Base then in effect;

(c) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit is no later than the Letter of Credit Termination Date;

(d) such Letter of Credit is to be used for the lawful general business purposes of the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower that is a Guarantor;

(e) such Letter of Credit is not directly or indirectly used to assure payment of or otherwise support any Indebtedness of any Person other than Indebtedness of the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower that is a Guarantor;

(f) the issuance, increase, or extension of such Letter of Credit will be in compliance with all applicable governmental restrictions, policies, and guidelines and will not subject the LC Issuer to any cost that is not reimbursable under Article IX;

(g) the form and terms of such Letter of Credit are acceptable to the LC Issuer in its discretion; and

(h) all of the other conditions in this Agreement to the issuance, increase, or extension of such Letter of Credit have been satisfied (including the conditions set forth in Section 7.2).

The LC Issuer will honor any such request if the foregoing conditions (a) through (h) (the “LC Conditions”) have been met as of the date of issuance, increase, or extension of such Letter of Credit. The LC Issuer shall have no independent duty to ascertain whether the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 have been satisfied; provided, however, that the LC Issuer shall not issue, increase, or extend a Letter of Credit if, on or before the proposed date of issuance, increase, or extension, the LC Issuer shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that any such condition has not been satisfied or waived. The LC Issuer may choose to honor any such request for any other Letter of Credit but has no obligation to do so and may refuse to issue, increase, or extend any other requested Letter of Credit for any reason that the LC Issuer in its discretion deems relevant. The provisions of this Agreement dealing with Letters of Credit have been agreed to only for the convenience of the parties if the LC Issuer does not ultimately choose to issue, increase, or extend any Letter of Credit for which the LC Conditions have not been satisfied. The LC Issuer shall have at all times the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the LC Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article X included the LC Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the LC Issuer.

| 47 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

Section 2.10. Requesting Letters of Credit. The Borrower must make written application for any Letter of Credit at least two (2) Business Days before the date on which the Borrower desires for the LC Issuer to issue, increase, or extend such Letter of Credit. By making any such written application the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that the LC Conditions described in Section 2.9 will be met as of the date of issuance, increase, or extension of such Letter of Credit. Each such written application for a Letter of Credit must be made in writing on the LC Issuer’s customary form, the terms and provisions of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference (or in such other form as may mutually be agreed upon by the LC Issuer and the Borrower). Promptly after the LC Conditions for a Letter of Credit have been met as described in Section 2.9 (or if the LC Issuer otherwise desires to issue such Letter of Credit), the LC Issuer will issue such Letter of Credit at the LC Issuer’s Lending Office. If any provisions of any LC Application conflict with any provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control. The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the LC Issuer. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of its Subsidiaries.

Section 2.11. Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay (a) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, a letter of credit fee at a per annum rate equal to the Letter of Credit Fee Rate (which rate shall be increased by 2.00% per annum during any period in which interest on the Loans accrues at the Default Rate), and (b) to the LC Issuer, for its own account, a letter of credit fronting fee at a per annum rate equal to 0.125% (but in no event less than $500 per annum); provided, however, any Letter of Credit fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.19 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Pro Rata Shares allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.19(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the LC Issuer for its own account. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly to the LC Issuer any other fees that it may charge in connection with any Letter of Credit. The letter of credit fee and the letter of credit fronting fee will be calculated on the undrawn face amount of each Letter of Credit outstanding on each day at the above-applicable rates and will be due and payable in arrears on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter prior to the Maturity Date and on the Maturity Date.

| 48 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

Section 2.12. Reimbursement.

(a) Reimbursement by the Borrower. If either (i) BOKF shall make a payment to any other LC Issuer pursuant to a Support Agreement or (ii) any LC Issuer shall honor any draw request under, and make payment in respect of, a Letter of Credit, (A) the Borrower shall reimburse BOKF or such LC Issuer, as applicable, for the amount of such payment no later than 3:30 p.m. on the date of such payment, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such payment prior to 12:00 p.m. on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 3:30 p.m. on (1) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 12:00 p.m. on the day of receipt or (2) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt, and (B) the Borrower shall (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the conditions to Borrowings set forth herein) be deemed to have immediately requested that the Lenders make Base Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to the amount of such payment (but solely to the extent that the Borrower shall have failed to directly reimburse BOKF or such LC Issuer, as applicable, for the amount of such payment) in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. If any amount required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection is so paid within one (1) Business Day after the date such payment is due, the payee shall in addition to such amount be entitled to recover from the Borrower, on demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Adjusted Base Rate. If any amount required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection is not so paid within one (1) Business Day after the date such payment is due, the payee shall in addition to such amount be entitled to recover from the Borrower, on demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Default Rate for Base Rate Loans.

(b) Participation by the Lenders. The LC Issuer irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Lender, and, to induce the LC Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the LC Issuer, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated and for such Lender’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Issuer’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities paid by the LC Issuer thereunder. Each Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the LC Issuer that, if any Letter of Credit Liabilities are paid under any Letter of Credit for which the LC Issuer is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the related LC Application (including any reimbursement by means of concurrent Loans or by the application of Cash Collateral), such Lender shall (in all circumstances and without set-off or counterclaim) pay to the LC Issuer on demand (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose), in immediately available funds at the LC Issuer’s address for notices hereunder, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Letter of Credit Liabilities (or any portion thereof that has not been reimbursed by the Borrower). Each Lender’s obligation to pay the LC Issuer pursuant to the terms of this subsection is irrevocable and unconditional. If any amount required to be paid by any Lender to the LC Issuer pursuant to this subsection is paid by such Lender to the LC Issuer within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, the LC Issuer shall in addition to such amount be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Federal Funds Rate. If any amount required to be paid by any Lender to the LC Issuer pursuant to this subsection is not paid by such Lender to the LC Issuer within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, the LC Issuer shall in addition to such amount be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Default Rate for Base Rate Loans.

| 49 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(c) Distributions to Participants. Whenever the LC Issuer has in accordance with this section received from any Lender payment of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Liabilities, if the LC Issuer thereafter receives any payment of Letter of Credit Liabilities or any payment of interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or by application of Cash Collateral or otherwise, and excluding only interest for any period prior to the LC Issuer’s demand that such Lender make such payment of its Pro Rata Share), the LC Issuer will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of the amounts so received by the LC Issuer; provided, however, that if any such payment received by the LC Issuer must thereafter be returned by the LC Issuer, such Lender shall return to the LC Issuer the portion thereof that the LC Issuer has previously distributed to it.

(d) Calculations. A written advice setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts owing under this section, submitted by the LC Issuer to the Borrower or any Lender from time to time, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amounts thereof.

Section 2.13. Reimbursement and Other Payments by the Borrower. The obligations of the Borrower to reimburse BOKF and/or any other LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of, or any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from, any Letter of Credit or any related document;

(b) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense, or other right that any Restricted Person may have at any time against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, the LC Issuer (including any claim for improper payment), the Administrative Agent, or any other Person, whether in connection with any Loan Document or any unrelated transaction; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(c) any statement or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

(d) any affiliation between the LC Issuer and any Lender; or

(e) to the extent permitted under applicable Law, any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Section 2.14. Cash Collateral.

(a) Deposit Obligations of the Borrower. If (i) any Letters of Credit are outstanding at the time that (A) the Borrower is required to repay the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.7(b) and, after the making of such repayment, the Facility Usage exceeds the Aggregate Commitment or the Borrowing Base, as applicable, (B) the Commitments are terminated, or (C) any Obligation is accelerated, or (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, and all other amounts due and owing to the LC Issuer in connection with such drawing, have not been repaid to the LC Issuer or if, as of the Letter of Credit Termination Date, any Letter of Credit Liabilities for any reason remain outstanding, the Borrower shall (A) deposit with the Administrative Agent cash (“Cash Collateral”) in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities (or, with respect to clause (i)(A) of this section, in an amount equal to such excess) to be available to the LC Issuer to reimburse payments of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit and pay any fees and expenses related thereto and (B) prepay the fee payable under Section 2.11 with respect to such Letters of Credit for the full remaining terms of such Letters of Credit. Upon termination of any such Letter of Credit and provided no Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency then exists, the unearned portion of such prepaid fee attributable to such Letter of Credit shall be refunded to the Borrower, together with the deposit described in the preceding clause (A) attributable to such Letter of Credit, but only to the extent not previously applied by the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer in the manner described herein.

| 50 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent. The Borrower hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(a).

Section 2.15. Payments to the Lenders; General Procedures. The Borrower will make each payment that it owes under the Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender Party to whom such payment is owed, in lawful money of the United States, without set-off, deduction, or counterclaim, and in immediately available funds. Each such payment must be received by the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. on the date such payment becomes due and payable (unless provided otherwise under this Agreement). Any payment received by the Administrative Agent after such time will be deemed to have been made on the next following Business Day. Should any such payment become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of a payment of principal or past due interest, interest shall accrue and be payable thereon for the period of such extension as provided in the Loan Document under which such payment is due. Each payment under a Loan Document shall be due and payable at the place set forth for the Administrative Agent on the Lenders Schedule. When the Administrative Agent collects or receives money on account of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall apply all money so collected or received, as follows (except as otherwise provided in Section 8.3):

(a) first, for the payment of all Obligations that are then due (and if such money is insufficient to pay all such Obligations, first to any reimbursements due to the Administrative Agent under Section 4.9, Section 10.14, or ARTICLE IX - and then to the partial payment of all other Obligations then due in proportion to the amounts thereof, or as the Administrative Agent shall otherwise determine, in its discretion);

(b) then, for the prepayment of principal of the Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal so prepaid; and

(c) last, for the payment or prepayment of any other Obligations.

| 51 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

All payments applied to principal or interest shall be applied first to any interest then due and payable, then to principal then due and payable, and last to any prepayment of principal and interest in compliance with Section 2.6 and Section 2.7.

Section 2.16. SOFR Provisions; Changed Circumstances.

(a) Circumstances Affecting SOFR Availability. Subject to clause (c) below, in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice and (ii) if such determination affects the calculation of the Alternate Base Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans immediately or at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16(e) and/or Section 9.2(b).

(b) Laws Affecting SOFR Availability. If, after the Closing Date, the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any SOFR Loan, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR or Term SOFR, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, in each case until each such affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans, to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day and (B) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, in each case until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by each affected Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR or Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16(e) and/or Section 9.2(b).

| 52 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(c) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all of the Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.16(c)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption, or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption, or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.16(c)(iv). Any determination, decision, or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.16(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate, or adjustment or of the occurrence or non- occurrence of an event, circumstance, or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.16(c), and shall not be a basis of any claim of liability of any kind or nature by any party hereto, all such claims being hereby waived individually by each party hereto.

| 53 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant, or non- aligned tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted, or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.

(d) Illegality. If, in any applicable jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, or any Lender determines that any applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, or any Lender to (i) perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (ii) to fund or maintain its participation in any Loan, or (iii) issue, make, maintain, fund, or charge interest or fees with respect to any Loan or Letter of Credit, such Person shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then, upon the Administrative Agent notifying the Borrower, and until such notice by such Person is revoked, any obligation of such Person to issue, make, maintain, fund, or charge interest or fees with respect to any such Loan or Letter of Credit shall be suspended, and to the extent required by applicable Law, cancelled. Upon receipt of such notice, the Restricted Persons shall (A) repay that Person’s participation in the Loans or other applicable Obligations on the last day of the Interest Period for each Loan, or on another applicable date with respect to another Obligation, occurring after the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower or, in each case, if earlier, the date specified by such Person in the notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by applicable Law) and (B) take all reasonable actions requested by such Person to mitigate or avoid such illegality.

| 54 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(e) Compensation for Losses. In the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (ii) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue, or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (iv) the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20(b), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for any loss, cost, and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost, or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds.

(f) Increased Costs. If, after the Closing Date, any Change in Law: (i) shall impose, increase, modify, or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or any successor thereto), assessment, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by any Lender; or (ii) shall impose on any Lender any other condition affecting its Loans, any of its Notes (if any), or its obligation to make Loans; and the result of anything described in clauses (i) and (ii) above is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender under this Agreement or under any of its Notes (if any) with respect thereto, then upon demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account for such Lender) such additional amount as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day that is 270 days prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(g) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the LC Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the LC Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender, or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the LC Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the LC Issuer or such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then upon demand by such Lender or the LC Issuer (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the LC Issuer or such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered, so long as such amount or amounts have accrued on or after the day that is 270 days prior to the date on which such Lender or the LC Issuer first made demand therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such reductions is retroactive, then the 270 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

| 55 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(h) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the LC Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or LC Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.16(e), Section 2.16(f), or Section 2.16(g) and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.17. Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any LC Issuer and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

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

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (b) above, the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

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

| 56 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.4(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection (e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Restricted Person to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(C) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

| 57 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax.

(B) Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W- 8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(II) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable;

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W- 8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; or

| 58 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(V) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(C) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or Section 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. In addition, each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for any withholding Tax or other penalties imposed in connection with any “withholdable payment,” as defined in Section 1473 of the Internal Revenue Code, made to a Foreign Lender that has failed to comply with the reporting requirements or otherwise qualify for an exemption under FATCA.

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

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest, or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld, or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction, or discharge of all of the obligations under any Loan Document.

| 59 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

Section 2.18. Obligations of the Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit, and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.3 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation, or to make any payment under Section 9.3 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation, or to make its payment under Section 9.3.

Section 2.19. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.1 and the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, pursuant to Article VIII, at maturity, or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 8.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the LC Issuer hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the LC Issuer, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non- interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the LC Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the LC Issuer against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Liabilities owed to, all of the non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Liabilities owed to, that Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments, or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to deposit cash pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

| 60 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (1) shall not be entitled to receive any unused fee pursuant to Section 2.5(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (2) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit fees as provided in Section 2.11.

(iv) Reallocation of Pro Rata Shares to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of that Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities shall be reallocated among the Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders, the “non-Defaulting Lenders”) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to that Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate amount of the Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed the lesser of (1) such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and (2) such non-Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing Base (calculated without giving effect to any reallocations pursuant to this clause (iv)). Subject to Section 11.13, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that the Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral for Fronting Exposure. If the reallocation described in Section 2.19(a)(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Law, Cash Collateralize that Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to Section 2.19(a)(iv)) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.14.

| 61 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the LC Issuer agree in writing in their discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which conditions may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the LC Issuer shall not be required to issue, extend, renew, or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19(a)(v), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(a)(iv) (and any Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

Section 2.20. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16(f) or Section 2.16(g), or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans 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 2.16(f), Section 2.16(g), or Section 2.17, 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 costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

| 62 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16(f) or Section 2.16(g), or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office to alleviate the need for such compensation, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.4), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.16(f), Section 2.16(g), or Section 2.17), and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.4;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Liabilities, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.16(e)) 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);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16(f) or Section 2.16(g) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and

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

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) being replaced pursuant to this subsection (b) shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if such Lender (or its Affiliate) is a Lender Counterparty, unless on or prior thereto, all of such Lender’s (or its Affiliate’s) Hedging Contracts with any Restricted Person have been terminated or novated to another Person and such Lender (or its Affiliate) shall have received payment of all amounts, if any, payable to it in connection with such termination or novation.

Section 2.21. Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the LC Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the LC Issuer, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 3.5. Enforceable Obligations.

(a) This Agreement is, and the other Loan Documents when duly executed and delivered will be, legal, valid, and binding obligations of each Credit Party that is a party hereto or thereto, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with their terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

(b) Each of the Mortgages is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid, binding, and enforceable Lien on the Oil and Gas Properties described therein and the proceeds and products thereof, and when the Mortgages are filed in the designated recording offices, each Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected first priority Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title, and interest of such Credit Party in the Oil and Gas Properties described therein and the proceeds and products thereof, as security for the Secured Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (other than Permitted Liens).

(a) The Credit Parties have heretofore delivered to each Lender true, correct, and complete copies of the Initial Financial Statements. All of the financial statements, information, and materials of the Credit Parties heretofore delivered to any Lender fairly present the Borrower’s Consolidated financial position (including its assets and liabilities) as of the date or dates thereof and the Consolidated results of the Borrower’s operations and the Borrower’s Consolidated cash flows for the period or periods thereof. All of the financial statements, information, and materials of the Credit Parties heretofore delivered to any Lender, other than pro forma financial statements, were prepared in accordance with IFRS. All of the financial statements that are pro forma financial statements were prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. As of the Closing Date, the Credit Parties have no material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for Taxes, or any long-term leases (other than oil, gas and/or mineral leases) or unusual forward or long-term commitments, that are not reflected in the Initial Financial Statements or in other written information provided by the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the Closing Date, other than the Obligations. As of the date of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.2, the Credit Parties have no material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for Taxes, or any long-term leases (other than oil, gas and/or mineral leases) or unusual forward or long-term commitments, that are not reflected therein.

(b) Since December 31, 2021, there has been no development or event that has caused or could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

Section 3.7. Other Obligations and Restrictions. No Restricted Person has any outstanding Liabilities of any kind (including contingent obligations, tax assessments, and unusual forward or long-term commitments) that are, in the aggregate, material to the Borrower or material with respect to the Borrower’s Consolidated financial condition and not disclosed in the Initial Financial Statements or Section 3.7 of the Disclosure Schedule or otherwise permitted under Section 5.1. Except as disclosed in the Initial Financial Statements or in Section 3.7 of the Disclosure Schedule, no Restricted Person is subject to or restricted by any franchise, contract, deed, charter restriction, or other instrument, restriction, or obligation that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. No performance of a contractual or other obligation by any Restricted Person, either unconditionally or upon the happening of an event, would result in the creation or imposition of a Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on the property, assets, or revenues of any Restricted Person.

Section 3.8. Full Disclosure. No certificate, report, statement, or other information delivered by any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, in connection with any transaction contemplated hereby, or otherwise from time to time delivered hereunder contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact known to any Credit Party (other than industry-wide risks normally associated with the types of businesses conducted by the Credit Parties) necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading as of the date made or deemed made; provided that to the extent any such certificate, report, statement, or other information was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, the Borrower represents only that it acted in good faith and utilized reasonable assumptions and due care in the preparation of such certificate, statement, report, or other information. There is no fact known to any Credit Party (other than industry-wide risks normally associated with the types of businesses conducted by the Credit Parties) that has not been disclosed to the Administrative Agent and each Lender in writing that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. There are no statements or conclusions in any Engineering Report that are based upon or include misleading information or fail to take into account material information regarding the matters reported therein, it being understood that each Engineering Report is necessarily based upon professional opinions, estimates, and projections and that the Borrower does not warrant that such opinions, estimates, and projections will ultimately prove to have been accurate. To the Borrower’s knowledge, (a) each Engineering Report was prepared in good faith and with due care, and the assumptions stated therein or used in the preparation thereof are reasonable, (b) all of the information furnished by the Restricted Persons to the petroleum engineers for use in the preparation of each Engineering Report was true, correct, and complete in all material respects when furnished, and (c) there has been no decrease in the amount of the estimated proved reserves shown in any Engineering Report since the date thereof, except for changes which have occurred as a result of production in the ordinary course of business. The Borrower has delivered true, correct, and complete copies of the Initial Engineering Report to the Administrative Agent.

| 69 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

Section 3.17. Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. All of the Letters of Credit that have been issued, and all of the proceeds of the Loans that have been made, have been used and hereafter will be used in compliance with Section 2.4. The Borrower will not request any Borrowing or Letter of Credit, and the Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, use, and shall ensure that the other Restricted Persons and its or their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, and agents shall not, directly or indirectly, use, the proceeds of any Borrowing or Letter of Credit (a) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (b) for the purpose of funding, financing, or facilitating any activities, business, or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, to the extent such activities, business, or transaction would be prohibited by Sanctions if conducted by a corporation incorporated in the United States or in a European Union member state, or (c) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.

Section 3.18. Leases and Contracts; Performance of Obligations. The leases, contracts, servitudes, and other agreements forming a part of the Oil and Gas Properties of the Restricted Persons covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report are in full force and effect (except those disposed of in accordance with, and to the extent permitted by, the terms hereof since delivery of such Engineering Report). All of the rents, royalties, and other payments due and payable under such leases, contracts, servitudes, and other agreements, or under any Permitted Liens, or otherwise attendant to the ownership or operation of any Oil and Gas Properties covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report, have been properly and timely paid (other than royalty payments suspended in the ordinary course of business); provided that, to the extent that this representation and warranty applies, involves or otherwise relates to Non-Operated Properties, such representation and warranty will be deemed qualified to the Borrower’s knowledge. No Restricted Person is in default with respect to its obligations (and no Restricted Person is aware of any default by any third party with respect to such third party’s obligations) under any such leases, contracts, servitudes, and other agreements, or under any Permitted Liens, or otherwise attendant to the ownership or operation of any part of the Oil and Gas Properties covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report, where such default could adversely affect the ownership or operation of such Oil and Gas Properties. No Restricted Person is currently accounting for any royalties, or overriding royalties or other payments out of production, on a basis (other than delivery in kind) less favorable to such Restricted Person than proceeds received by such Restricted Person (calculated at the well or as otherwise required by the applicable oil, gas and or mineral lease) from sale of production, and no Restricted Person has any liability (or alleged liability) to account for the same on any such less favorable basis.

| 70 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

Section 3.19. Marketing Arrangements. Except as set forth in Section 3.19 of the Disclosure Schedule, no Oil and Gas Property covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report is subject to any contractual or other arrangement (a) whereby payment for production is or can be deferred for a substantial period after the month in which such production is delivered (in the case of oil, not in excess of sixty (60) days, and in the case of gas, not in excess of ninety (90) days) or (b) whereby payments are made to a Restricted Person other than by checks, drafts, wire transfers, or other similar writings, instruments, or communications for the immediate payment of money. Except for production sales contracts, processing agreements, transportation agreements, and other agreements relating to the marketing of production that are listed in Section 3.19 of the Disclosure Schedule in connection with the Oil and Gas Properties covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report to which such contract or agreement relates: (i) no Oil and Gas Property is subject to any contractual or other arrangement for the sale, processing, or transportation of production (or otherwise related to the marketing of production) that cannot be canceled by such Restricted Person on one hundred twenty (120) days’ (or less) notice or that does not provide for the prices to be paid for such production to float with the market at least as often as monthly, and (ii) all of the contractual or other arrangements for the sale, processing, or transportation of production (or otherwise related to the marketing of production) are bona fide arm’s length transactions made on the best terms reasonably available with third parties not affiliated with the Restricted Persons. Each Restricted Person is presently receiving a price for the production from (or attributable to) each Oil and Gas Property covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report that is subject to a production sales contract or marketing contract that is computed in all material respects in accordance with the terms of such contract, and no Restricted Person is having deliveries of production from any such Oil and Gas Property curtailed materially below such property’s delivery capacity, except for curtailments caused (1) by an act or event of force majeure not reasonably within the control of and not caused by the fault or negligence of a Restricted Person and which by the exercise of reasonable diligence such Restricted Person is unable to prevent or overcome or (2) by routine maintenance requirements in the ordinary course of business.

Section 3.20. Right to Receive Payment for Future Production. Except as set forth in Section 3.20 of the Disclosure Schedule, no Restricted Person, nor any Restricted Person’s predecessors in title, has received prepayments (including payments for gas not taken pursuant to “take or pay” or other similar arrangements) for any Hydrocarbons produced or to be produced from any Oil and Gas Properties covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report. Except as set forth in Section 3.20 of the Disclosure Schedule, no Oil and Gas Property covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report is subject to any “take or pay,” gas imbalance, or other similar arrangement (a) as a result of which Hydrocarbons produced from such Oil and Gas Property may be required to be delivered to one or more third parties without current payment (or without full payment) therefor or (b) that is determined in whole or in part by reference to the production or transportation of Hydrocarbons from other properties. Except as set forth in Section 3.20 of the Disclosure Schedule, there is no Oil and Gas Property covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report with respect to which any Restricted Person, or any Restricted Person’s predecessors in title, has, prior to the Closing Date, taken materially more (“overproduced”), or less (“underproduced”), gas from the lands covered thereby (or pooled or unitized therewith) than its ownership interest in such Oil and Gas Property would entitle it to take, and Section 3.20 of the Disclosure Schedule accurately reflects, for each well or unit with respect to which such an imbalance is shown thereon to exist, (i) whether such Restricted Person is overproduced or underproduced and (ii) the volumes (in cubic feet or British thermal units) of such overproduction or underproduction and the effective date of such information. Since the Closing Date, no material changes have occurred in such overproduction or underproduction except those that have been reported as required pursuant to Section 4.2. No Oil and Gas Property covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report is subject to any regulatory refund obligation and, to the best of each Restricted Person’s knowledge, no facts exist that might cause the same to be imposed.

| 71 | [CREDIT AGREEMENT]

Section 3.21. Operation of Borrowing Base Properties. The Oil and Gas Properties covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report (and all of the properties unitized therewith) are being (and, to the extent the same could adversely affect the ownership or operation of the Oil and Gas Properties covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report after the Closing Date, have in the past been) maintained, operated, and developed in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with prudent industry standards and in conformity with all Governmental Requirements and in conformity with all oil, gas, or other mineral leases and other contracts and agreements forming a part of the Oil and Gas Properties covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report and in conformity with the Permitted Liens. No Oil and Gas Property covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report is subject to having allowable production reduced after the Closing Date below the full and regular allowable (including the maximum permissible tolerance) because of any overproduction (whether or not the same was permissible at the time) prior to the Closing Date. All of the oil and gas wells located on the Oil and Gas Properties covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report (or properties unitized therewith) have been drilled and completed within the boundaries of the applicable Oil and Gas Properties or within limits otherwise permitted by a valid and enforceable pooling, unit, or other agreement or contract or by applicable Law, and none of such oil and gas wells is deviated from the vertical or horizontal, as applicable, more than the maximum permitted by Governmental Requirements. There are no dry holes, or otherwise inactive wells, located on the Oil and Gas Properties covered by the most recently delivered Engineering Report or on lands pooled or unitized therewith, except for wells that have been properly plugged and abandoned.

The Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall give written notice of any such reduction to the Borrower, and the new Borrowing Base, as so reduced, shall become effective immediately after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice. Any failure to so exercise this remedy at any time shall not be a waiver as to future exercise of the remedy by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

Section 4.16. Production Proceeds. Notwithstanding that, by the terms of the Mortgages, the Restricted Persons are and will be assigning to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of the “Production Proceeds” (as defined therein) accruing to the property covered thereby, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Restricted Persons may continue to receive from the purchasers of production such Production Proceeds, subject, however, to the Liens created under the Security Documents, which Liens are hereby affirmed and ratified. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may exercise any and all rights and remedies granted under the Security Documents subject to the terms thereof, including the right to obtain possession of any or all of the Production Proceeds then held by the Restricted Persons or to receive directly from the purchasers of production all of the other Production Proceeds. In no case shall any failure, whether intentioned or inadvertent, by any Lender Party to collect directly any such Production Proceeds constitute in any way a waiver, remission, or release of any rights of any Lender Party under the Security Documents, nor shall any release of any Production Proceeds by any Lender Party to the Restricted Persons constitute a waiver, remission, or release of any other Production Proceeds or of any rights of any Lender Party to collect other Production Proceeds thereafter.

Section 4.17. Perfection and Protection of Security Interests and Liens. Each Credit Party shall from time to time deliver to the Administrative Agent any financing statements, continuation statements, extension agreements, amendments to Security Documents, and other documents, properly completed and executed (and acknowledged when required) by such Credit Party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, which the Administrative Agent reasonably requests for any of the following purposes: (a) perfecting, confirming, or protecting any Liens or other rights in any Collateral securing any Secured Obligations, (b) curing any defects or potential defects in any Loan Document, (c) further evidencing and more fully describing the collateral intended as security for the Secured Obligations, (d) more fully stating the obligations secured by any Security Document, or (e) maintaining compliance with all applicable Laws, including those of any applicable Indian tribe, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

Each Restricted Person will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any claim (or any conclusion by such Restricted Person) that such Restricted Person is obligated to account for any royalties, or overriding royalties or other payments out of production, on a basis (other than delivery in kind) less favorable to such Restricted Person than proceeds received by such Restricted Person (calculated at the well) from sale of production.

Section 4.19. Representation to Continue to be True. Each Restricted Person will carry out its sales of production, will operate the Oil and Gas Properties, and will otherwise deal with the Borrowing Base Properties and the production in such a way that the representations and warranties in Section 3.16 through Section 3.21 remain true and correct at, and as of, all times that this Agreement is in effect (and not just at, and as of, the times such representations and warranties are made).

(i) Commodities. Hedging Contracts with an Approved Counterparty in respect of crude oil and natural gas with notional volumes (when aggregated with other commodity Hedging Contracts then in effect) that do not cause the aggregate notional volumes of all of the Hedging Contracts then in effect to exceed, as of the date such Hedging Contract is entered into, for each full calendar month during the forthcoming thirty-six (36) full calendar months following such date, ninety percent (90%) of the Projected PDP Oil and Gas Production for such month, determined separately with respect to crude oil and natural gas; provided, however, that such Hedging Contracts shall not, in any case, have a tenor longer than thirty-six (36) consecutive calendar months, beginning with the first full calendar month following the date in question. It is understood that Hedging Contracts in respect of commodities which may, from time to time, “hedge” the same volumes, but different elements of commodity risk thereof (such as, for example, basis risk and price risk), shall not be aggregated together when calculating the limitations on notional volumes contained in this Section 5.3(a)(i).

(A) Hedging Contracts effectively converting interest rates from fixed to floating, the notional amounts of which (when aggregated with all other Hedging Contracts of the Restricted Persons then in effect effectively converting interest rates from fixed to floating) do not exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Indebtedness of the Restricted Persons for borrowed money that bears interest at a fixed rate, and which Hedging Contracts shall not, in any case, have a tenor that extends beyond the maturity date of the Indebtedness that such Hedging Contract is intended to hedge.

(B) Hedging Contracts effectively converting interest rates from floating to fixed, the notional amounts of which (when aggregated with all other Hedging Contracts of the Restricted Persons then in effect effectively converting interest rates from floating to fixed) do not exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Indebtedness of the Restricted Persons for borrowed money that bears interest at a floating rate, and which Hedging Contracts shall not, in any case, have a tenor that extends beyond the maturity date of the Indebtedness that such Hedging Contract is intended to hedge.

(b) No Credit Support for Hedging Contracts. In no event shall any Hedging Contract contain any requirement, agreement, or covenant for any Restricted Person to post collateral, credit support (including in the form of letters of credit), or margin to secure any Restricted Person’s obligations under such Hedging Contract or to cover market exposures other than any requirement, agreement, or covenant to enter into or maintain the Security Documents, or covenants or requirements that only apply following the occurrence of Payment in Full.

All of the rights, remedies, and powers conferred upon the Lender Parties under the Loan Documents shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies, or powers available under the Loan Documents or at Law or in equity.

| 98 | [Credit Agreement]

Section 8.3. Application of Proceeds After Acceleration. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.2 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the Letter of Credit Liabilities have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in Section 2.14), any amounts received on account of the Secured Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses, and other amounts (including fees, charges, and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Section 4.9 and Section 10.14) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses, and other amounts (excluding other amounts provided for in clauses “Third” or “Fourth” below) payable to the Lenders, the LC Issuer, the Cash Management Lenders, and the Lender Counterparties (including fees, charges, and disbursements of counsel to each Lender and each LC Issuer and amounts payable under Section 2.16 or Section 2.17), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit fees, accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations described in clause (b) of the definition of Letter of Credit Liabilities, accrued and unpaid interest on the Cash Management Obligations, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Lender Hedging Obligations, ratably among the Lenders, the LC Issuer, the Cash Management Lenders, and the Lender Counterparties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and Obligations described in clause (b) of the definition of Letter of Credit Liabilities, obligations to Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.14, Cash Management Obligations, and other amounts due under or in connection with Hedging Contracts giving rise to Lender Hedging Obligations (including amounts payable in connection with the early termination of Hedging Contracts but excluding accrued and unpaid interest on the Lender Hedging Obligations provided for in clause “Third” above), ratably among the Lenders, the LC Issuer, the Cash Management Lenders, and the Lender Counterparties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

Fifth, pro rata to the payment of any other Secured Obligations; and

| 99 | [Credit Agreement]

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

provided that, to the extent that any Excluded Swap Obligations exist with respect to any Guarantor, monies or property received from such Guarantor or from the proceeds of any Collateral provided by such Guarantor may not be shared with the Lender Counterparties to the extent that doing so would violate the Commodity Exchange Act (but to the maximum extent allowed under applicable Law the amounts received or recovered from the other Credit Parties will instead be allocated to the Lender Counterparties as necessary to achieve the overall ratable applications of monies and property intended by this section but for this proviso).

Subject to Section 2.14, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all of the Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Secured Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender Hedging Obligations and the Cash Management Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender Counterparty or Cash Management Lender, as the case may be. Each Lender Counterparty or Cash Management Lender not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article X hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

Section 8.4. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the LC Issuer, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, the LC Issuer, or any such Affiliate, for the credit or the account of or to any Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the LC Issuer or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, the LC Issuer, or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office, or Affiliate of such Lender or the LC Issuer different from the branch, office, or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer, and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the LC Issuer, and their respective Affiliates under this section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the LC Issuer, or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the LC Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

| 100 | [Credit Agreement]

Section 8.5. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Lender Party, or any Lender Party exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any Lender Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the LC Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the LC Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX - Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(b) The Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss, cost, or expense (including any loss, cost, or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds) which may arise, be attributable to, or result due to or as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a SOFR Loan, (ii) any failure of the Borrower to borrow or continue a SOFR Loan on a date specified therefor in a Borrowing Notice or Continuation/Conversion Notice, (iii) any failure of the Borrower to prepay any SOFR Loan on a date specified therefor in any notice of prepayment (regardless of whether any such notice of prepayment may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof and is revoked in accordance therewith), (iv) any payment, prepayment, or conversion of any SOFR Loan on a date other than on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), or (v) the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20(b). A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

Subject to the terms of Section 11.1 and to the terms of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on behalf of the Lenders and the LC Issuer. The provisions of this Article X are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the LC Issuer, and neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and the LC Issuer and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Credit Party. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers hereunder, or under the other Loan Documents, by or through its own agents or employees. The exculpatory provisions of this Article X shall apply to any such agent or employee of the Administrative Agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or employees except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such agents or employees.

| 103 | [Credit Agreement]

Section 10.2. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with each Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 10.3. Action by the Administrative Agent. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the LC Issuer. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Administrative Agent any duties or obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

Section 10.4. Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, or experts.

Section 10.5. Liability of the Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable to any Lender or the LC Issuer for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Loan Documents, except that the Administrative Agent shall be liable with respect to its specific duties set forth hereunder, but only to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the discharge thereof as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify: (a) any statement, warranty, or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements specified in any Loan Document; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in any Loan Document; (d) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency, or genuineness of any Loan Document, any Lien purported to be created or perfected thereby, or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (e) the existence or non-existence of any Default or Event of Default; or (f) the financial condition of any Credit Party. The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex, facsimile, or electronic transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from the other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).

| 104 | [Credit Agreement]

Section 10.6. Indemnification. Each Lender shall, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) upon demand against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss, or liability (except such as result from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) that the Administrative Agent may suffer or incur in connection with the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by the Required Lenders until such additional indemnity is furnished. All of the amounts due under this section shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after written demand therefor.

Section 10.7. Right to Request and Act on Instructions. The Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals that by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents the Administrative Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate applicable Law or expose the Administrative Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6.

Section 10.8. Credit Decision. Each Lender and the LC Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any other Lender Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the LC Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any other Lender Party, 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 any action under the Loan Documents.

Section 10.9. Collateral & Guaranty Matters.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the LC Issuer, and by accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each of the Lender Counterparties and the Cash Management Lenders, irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to (i) release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Security Document (1) upon Payment in Full, (2) in connection with any foreclosure sale or other Disposition of Collateral during the continuance of an Event of Default, or (3) on any property sold or Disposed of as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted under any Loan Document (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the sale or other Disposition of property being made in full compliance with the provisions of the Loan Documents), (ii) release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Security Document to any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 5.2, and (iii) release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Security Document if approved, authorized, or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.1. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders and the LC Issuer will confirm the Administrative Agent’s authority to release and/or subordinate particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.9(a); provided that the absence of any such confirmation for any reason shall not affect the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Section 10.9(a).

(b) Each of the Lenders and the LC Issuer, and by accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each of the Lender Counterparties and the Cash Management Lenders, irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the Secured Obligations (i) if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, (ii) upon Payment in Full, and (iii) if approved, authorized, or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.1. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, each Lender and the LC Issuer will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.9(b); provided that the absence of any such confirmation for any reason shall not affect the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Section 10.9(b).

(c) Each of the Lenders and the LC Issuer, and by accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each of the Lender Counterparties and the Cash Management Lenders, irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens and guaranties, termination statements, assignments, and other documents necessary or useful to accomplish or evidence the releases contemplated by Section 10.9(a)(i)(1), Section 10.9(a)(i)(3), Section 10.9(a)(iii), and Section 10.9(b) (and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to take such actions at the request of the Borrower).

| 106 | [Credit Agreement]

Section 10.10. Agency for Perfection. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each of the Administrative Agent and each other Lender, respectively, as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Administrative Agent’s security interest in assets that, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to the Administrative Agent or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions or transfer control to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to realize upon any Collateral for the Loans unless instructed to do so by the Administrative Agent, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.11. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be reasonably requested by the Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) in accordance with the terms hereof. Unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such request, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 10.12. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the LC Issuer, and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default exists), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder and notice of such acceptance to the retiring Administrative Agent, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges, and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become immediately effective, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (if such resignation was not already effective and such duties and obligations not already discharged, as provided below in this section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the LC Issuer (but without any obligation) appoint a successor Administrative Agent. From and following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right, upon one (1) Business Days’ notice to the Borrower, the Lenders, and the LC Issuer, to make its resignation effective immediately. From and following the effectiveness of such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications, and determinations provided to be made by, to, or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this section. The provisions of this Agreement (including the indemnification provisions herein) shall continue in effect for the benefit of any retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents, and their Related Parties after the effectiveness of its resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting or was continuing to act as Administrative Agent.

| 107 | [Credit Agreement]

Section 10.13. Disbursements of Loans; Payment and Sharing of Payment.

(a) Loan Advances, Payments, and Settlements; Interest and Fee Payments. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, on behalf of the Lenders (other than Non-Funding Lenders), to disburse funds to the Borrower for all of the Loans requested or deemed requested by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.2 are then satisfied, including the existence of any Default or Event of Default either before or after giving effect to the making of such Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not advance any Loan pursuant to this clause (a) if the Facility Usage exceeds the Borrowing Base, either before or after giving effect to the making of any proposed Loan. The Administrative Agent shall be conclusively entitled to assume, for purposes of the preceding sentence, that each Lender, other than any Non-Funding Lenders, will fund its Pro Rata Share of all of the Loans requested by the Borrower. Each Lender (other than any Non-Funding Lenders) shall reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand, in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following paragraph, for all funds disbursed on its behalf by the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto, or if the Administrative Agent so requests, each Lender will remit to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Loan before the Administrative Agent disburses the same to the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent elects to require that each Lender make funds available to the Administrative Agent, prior to a disbursement by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone, facsimile, or e- mail of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan requested by the Borrower no later than noon on the date of funding of such Loan, and each such Lender shall, subject to the provisions of Article VII, pay the Administrative Agent on such date such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such requested Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer to the Payment Account, or such other account as may be identified by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders from time to time. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share within one (1) Business Day after the Administrative Agent’s demand, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to the Administrative Agent. Any repayment required by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.13(a) shall be accompanied by accrued interest thereon from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment at the rate of interest then applicable to the Loans. Nothing in this Section 10.13(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

| 108 | [Credit Agreement]

On a Business Day of each week as selected from time to time by the Administrative Agent, or more frequently (including daily), if the Administrative Agent so elects (each such day being a “Settlement Date”), the Administrative Agent will advise each Lender by telephone, facsimile, or e-mail of the amount of each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Facility Usage as of the close of business of the Business Day immediately preceding the Settlement Date. In the event that payments are necessary to adjust the amount of such Lender’s actual Pro Rata Share of the Facility Usage to such Lender’s required Pro Rata Share of the Facility Usage as of any Settlement Date, the party from which such payment is due shall pay the Administrative Agent, without setoff or discount, to the Payment Account not later than noon on the Business Day following the Settlement Date the full amount necessary to make such adjustment. Any obligation arising pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever. In the event settlement shall not have occurred by the date and time specified in the second preceding sentence, interest shall accrue on the unsettled amount at the Federal Funds Rate, for the first three (3) days following the scheduled date of settlement, and thereafter at the Default Rate for Base Rate Loans.

On each Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone, facsimile, or e-mail of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest, and fees paid for the benefit of the Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan, to the extent of such Lender’s credit exposure with respect thereto, and shall make payment to such Lender not later than noon on the Business Day following the Settlement Date of such amounts in accordance with wire instructions delivered by such Lender to the Administrative Agent, as the same may be modified from time to time by written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, that, in the case such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding short-fall against that Defaulting Lender’s respective share of all payments received from the Borrower.

The provisions of this Section 10.13(a) shall be deemed to be binding upon the Administrative Agent and the Lenders notwithstanding the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, or any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding pertaining to any Credit Party.

(b) Return of Payments. If the Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and such related payment is not received by the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim, or deduction of any kind, together with interest accruing on a daily basis at the Federal Funds Rate.

If the Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement must be returned to the Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to the Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that the Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as the Administrative Agent is required to pay to the Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim, or deduction of any kind.

| 109 | [Credit Agreement]

(c) Defaulting Lenders. The failure of any Defaulting Lender to make any Loan or any payment required by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment, but neither any other Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make a Loan or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Defaulting Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Required Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided for in Section 11.1.

(d) Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff, or otherwise) on account of any Loan (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 2.20) in excess of its pro rata share of payments entitled pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 10.13, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in extensions of credit made by such other Lenders (without recourse, representation, or warranty) as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter required to be returned or otherwise recovered from such purchasing Lender, such portion of such purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender that has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such return or recovery, without interest. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this clause (d) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this clause (d) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this clause (d) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

Section 10.14. Right to Perform, Preserve, and Protect. If any Credit Party fails to perform any obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent itself may, but shall not be obligated to, cause such obligation to be performed at the Borrower’s expense. The Administrative Agent is further authorized by the Borrower, the Lenders, and the LC Issuer to make expenditures from time to time that the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable to (a) preserve or protect the business conducted by the Borrower, the Collateral, or any portion thereof and/or (b) enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations. The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any and all costs, liabilities, and obligations incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.14. Each Lender hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent upon demand for any and all costs, liabilities, and obligations incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.14, and all such amounts shall be deemed to be included within and covered by the Borrower’s indemnification obligation more particularly described in Section 9.2 of this Agreement.

| 110 | [Credit Agreement]

Section 10.15. Additional Titled Agents. Except for rights and powers, if any, expressly reserved under this Agreement to any bookrunner, arranger, or other titled agent named on the cover page of this Agreement, other than the Administrative Agent (collectively, the “Additional Titled Agents”), and except for obligations, liabilities, duties, and responsibilities, if any, expressly assumed under this Agreement by any Additional Titled Agent, no Additional Titled Agent, in such capacity, has any rights, powers, liabilities, duties, or responsibilities hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, no Additional Titled Agent shall have nor be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender or the LC Issuer, and each Lender and the LC Issuer acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Additional Titled Agents in deciding to enter into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in taking or not taking any action hereunder or thereunder. At any time that any Lender serving as an Additional Titled Agent shall have transferred to any other Person (other than any Affiliates) all of its interests in the Loans and in the Commitments, such Lender shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as such Additional Titled Agent.

Section 10.16. Agreement to Assignment of ISDA Master Agreement. Each Lender hereby agrees (on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates party to a Hedging Contract with any Restricted Person) that the rights of the Restricted Persons under Hedging Contracts with such Lender (or, if applicable, its Affiliate) may be included in the Collateral.

Section 10.17. Lender Hedging Obligations and Cash Management Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, no Lender Counterparty or Cash Management Lender that obtains the benefits of Section 8.3 or any other Loan Document by virtue of the provisions hereof or thereof shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct, or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Lender Hedging Obligations and Cash Management Obligations unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender Counterparty or Cash Management Lender, as the case may be.

Section 10.18. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Liability shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, the Letter of Credit Liabilities, and all of the other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the LC Issuer, and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Lenders, the LC Issuer, and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the LC Issuer, and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.5, Section 2.11, and Article IX) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

| 111 | [Credit Agreement]

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the LC Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the LC Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.5 and Article IX.

Section 10.19. Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (i) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (ii) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Additional Titled Agent, and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer, and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of, and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of subsections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of, and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, and this Agreement; or

| 112 | [Credit Agreement]

(iv) such other representation, warranty, and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, unless either (i) subclause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (ii) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty, and covenant in accordance with subclause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Additional Titled Agent, and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, any Additional Titled Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Section 10.20. Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123, or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Credit Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.1 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Secured Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests, or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Secured Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Secured Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle or vehicles) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

Section 10.21. Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent (i) notifies a Lender, an LC Issuer, or any other Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, an LC Issuer, or any other Secured Party (any such Lender, LC Issuer, other Secured Party, or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”), that the Administrative Agent has determined in its discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, LC Issuer, other Secured Party, or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment, or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution, or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (ii) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 10.21 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, LC Issuer, or other Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

| 114 | [Credit Agreement]

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, LC Issuer, other Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, an LC Issuer, or any other Secured Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment, or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment, or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution, or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment, or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment, or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment, or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, LC Issuer, or other Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clause (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment, or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender, LC Issuer, or other Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y), and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment, or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail), and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.21(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.21(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 10.21(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c) Each Lender, LC Issuer, and other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net, and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, LC Issuer, or other Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, LC Issuer, or other Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

| 115 | [Credit Agreement]

(d) (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitment) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of such Loans (but not such Commitment), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to the Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitment which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitment of any Lender and such Commitment shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Subject to Section 11.4 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment, consent, or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies, and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

| 116 | [Credit Agreement]

(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, an LC Issuer, or any other Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender, LC Issuer, or other Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Credit Parties’ Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Secured Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge, or otherwise satisfy any Secured Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party; provided that this Section 10.21 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense, or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim, or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements, and waivers under this Section 10.21 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an LC Issuer, the termination of the Commitments, and/or Payment in Full.

ARTICLE XI - Miscellaneous

Section 11.1. Waivers and Amendments; Acknowledgments.

(a) Waivers and Amendments. No failure or delay (whether by course of conduct or otherwise) by any Lender Party in exercising any right, power, or remedy that such Lender Party may have under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, power, or remedy, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any Lender Party of any such right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, or remedy. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document and no consent to any departure therefrom shall ever be effective unless it is in writing and signed as provided below in this section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instances and for the purposes for which given and to the extent specified in such writing. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party shall in any case of itself entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents set forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and therein and supersede all prior discussions and understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and no waiver, consent, release, modification, or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be valid or effective against any party hereto unless the same is in writing and signed by (i) if such party is the Borrower, by the Borrower, (ii) if such party is the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer, by such party, and (iii) if such party is a Lender, by such Lender or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders with the written consent of the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall not, without the prior consent of each individual Lender, execute and deliver on behalf of such Lender any waiver or amendment that would: (1) waive any of the conditions specified in Article VII; (2) increase the Commitment of such Lender; (3) reduce any fees payable to such Lender hereunder, or the principal of, or interest on, such Lender’s Loans; (4) extend the Maturity Date, waive the provisions of Section 2.7, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of any such fees, principal, or interest; (5) amend the definition herein of “Required Lenders” or otherwise change the aggregate amount of Pro Rata Shares that are required for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or any of them to take any particular action under the Loan Documents; (6) release the Borrower from its obligation to pay such Lender’s Obligations or any Guarantor from its guaranty of such payment (except pursuant to Section 10.9(b)); (7) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except pursuant to Section 10.9(a)); (8) amend the pro-rata sharing provisions in Section 10.13(d); (9) amend the definition herein of “Borrowing Base” or Section 2.8 in a manner that has the effect of increasing the Borrowing Base; or (10) amend this Section 11.1(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver, or consent that by its terms requires the consent of all of the Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended, and the principal amount of the Loans of any Defaulting Lender may not be decreased, without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment, or modification requiring the consent of all of the Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any supplement to Section 3.13 of the Disclosure Schedule shall be effective simply by delivering to the Administrative Agent a supplemental schedule clearly marked as such and, upon receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Lenders, and, without the consent of any of the Lenders, the Borrower (or any other applicable Credit Party) and the Administrative Agent may (x) amend this Agreement or any other Loan Document in order to correct, amend, or cure any ambiguity, omission, inconsistency, illegality, or defect therein, or to correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document or otherwise effectuate the intent of the parties hereto, (y) enter into any amendment, modification, or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or enter into any new Loan Document, in order to provide for the Liens and Security Documents contemplated in the Loan Documents, and (z) enter into any supplement, amendment, or modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or enter into any new Loan Document, in order to join additional Persons as Credit Parties or Guarantors.

Section 11.2. Survival of Agreements; Cumulative Nature. All of each Credit Party’s representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements in the Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the performance hereof and thereof, including the making or granting of the Loans and the delivery of the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and shall further survive until Payment in Full. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, any waivers or admissions made by any Credit Party in any Loan Document, any Obligations under Section 2.16 and/or Section 2.17, and any obligations that any Person may have to indemnify or compensate any Lender Party shall survive any termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In addition, Articles VIII, IX and X shall survive until all of the Security Documents have been terminated. All statements and agreements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by any Credit Party to any Lender Party under any Loan Document shall be deemed representations and warranties by the Borrower or agreements and covenants of the Borrower under this Agreement. The representations, warranties, indemnities, and covenants made by the Credit Parties in the Loan Documents, and the rights, powers, and privileges granted to the Lender Parties in the Loan Documents, are cumulative, and, except for expressly specified waivers and consents, no Loan Document shall be construed in the context of another to diminish, nullify, or otherwise reduce the benefit to any Lender Party of any such representation, warranty, indemnity, covenant, right, power, or privilege. In particular and without limitation, no exception set out in this Agreement to any representation, warranty, indemnity, or covenant herein contained shall apply to any similar representation, warranty, indemnity, or covenant contained in any other Loan Document, and each such similar representation, warranty, indemnity, or covenant shall be subject only to those exceptions that are expressly made applicable to it by the terms of the Loan Documents.

The Administrative Agent or the Borrower or any other Credit Party may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied, or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower or the other Credit Parties, any Lender, or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, losses, or expenses (whether in tort, contract, or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any other Credit Party’s, the Administrative Agent’s, or any other Lender Party’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document, or other material provided by or on behalf of any Credit Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein that is distributed to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the LC Issuer by means of electronic communications pursuant to this section, including through the Platform.

Section 11.4. Successors and Assigns; Joint and Several Liability.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement, and except for the foregoing Persons there are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

| 121 | [Credit Agreement]

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

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(1) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in subsection (b)(i)(2) of this section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(2) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(1) of this section, except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

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

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(2) of this section and, in addition:

(1) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

| 122 | [Credit Agreement]

(2) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender, or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(3) the consent of the LC Issuer shall be required for any assignment.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (1) any Credit Party or any Credit Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (2) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle, or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

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

| 123 | [Credit Agreement]

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the requirements of, Section 2.16, Section 2.17, Section 8.4, and Article IX with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 11.4, (i) the consent of the Borrower and its execution of an Assignment and Assumption shall not be required, and, unless requested by the Eligible Assignee and/or the assigning Lender, new Notes shall not be required to be executed and delivered by the Borrower, for any assignment that occurs at any time when any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the Borrower shall not unreasonably withhold or delay in providing any consent or executing any Assignment and Assumption otherwise required under this Section 11.4. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non- fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and each Lender Party shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan or other Obligation hereunder, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender Party, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle, or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender, or any Credit Party or any Credit Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 2.17(e) and Section 10.6 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

| 124 | [Credit Agreement]

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification, or waiver described in the fifth sentence of Section 11.1(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 and Section 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or Section 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.20 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 10.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

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

Section 11.5. Confidentiality. Each Lender Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self- regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative, or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement, or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating any Credit Party or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided by this Agreement, or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to such credit facilities; (h) with the consent of the Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this section, or (y) becomes available to such Lender Party or any of its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Credit Party. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 11.5 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement, as amended from time to time, to the “Gold Sheets” and other market data collectors and trade publications and in “tombstone” advertisements, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications, services and advertisements.

For purposes of this section, “Information” means all of the information received from any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Lender Party on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 11.6. Governing Law; Submission to Process. THIS AGREEMENT, EACH NOTE, AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AND ALL OF THE MATTERS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO OR ARISING THEREFROM (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW, OR OTHERWISE), SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF COLORADO, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES; PROVIDED THAT THE MORTGAGES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS ELECTED THEREIN. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER CREDIT PARTY HEREBY CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF DENVER, STATE OF COLORADO, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT, SUBJECT TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S ELECTION, ALL OF THE ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER CREDIT PARTY EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVE ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NONCONVENIENS. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER CREDIT PARTY HEREBY WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND AGREE THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON THE BORROWER OR SUCH OTHER CREDIT PARTY BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, ADDRESSED TO THE BORROWER OR SUCH OTHER CREDIT PARTY AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER THE SAME HAS BEEN POSTED.

Section 11.7. Limitation on Interest. The Lender Parties, the Credit Parties, and any other parties to the Loan Documents intend to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury Law from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof, such Persons stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance, or detention of money, interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by applicable Law from time to time in effect. Neither any Credit Party nor any present or future guarantors, endorsers, or other Persons hereafter becoming liable for payment of any Obligation shall ever be liable for unearned interest thereon or shall ever be required to pay interest thereon in excess of the maximum amount that may be lawfully contracted for, charged, or received under applicable Law from time to time in effect, and the provisions of this section shall control over all other provisions of the Loan Documents that may be in conflict or apparent conflict herewith. The Lender Parties expressly disavow any intention to contract for, charge, or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of any Obligation is accelerated. If (a) the maturity of any Obligation is accelerated for any reason, (b) any Obligation is prepaid and as a result any amounts held to constitute interest are determined to be in excess of the legal maximum, or (c) any Lender or any other holder of any or all of the Obligations shall otherwise collect moneys that are determined to constitute interest that would otherwise increase the interest on any or all of the Obligations to an amount in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable Law then in effect, then all sums determined to constitute interest in excess of such legal limit shall, without penalty, be promptly applied to reduce the then outstanding principal of the related Obligations or, at such Lender’s or holder’s option, promptly returned to the Borrower or the other payor thereof upon such determination. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific circumstance, exceeds the maximum amount permitted under applicable Law, the Lender Parties and the Credit Parties (and any other payors thereof) shall to the greatest extent permitted under applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the instruments evidencing the Obligations in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time thereunder and the maximum legal rate of interest from time to time in effect under applicable Law in order to lawfully contract for, charge, or receive the maximum amount of interest permitted under applicable Law. As used in this section, the term “applicable Law” means the Laws of the State of Colorado or the Laws of the United States, whichever Laws allow the greater interest, as such Laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.

| 127 | [Credit Agreement]

Section 11.8. Severability. If any term or provision of any Loan Document shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, then all of the other terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall nevertheless remain effective and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.8, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 11.9. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

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

| 128 | [Credit Agreement]

Section 11.10. Waiver of Jury Trial, Punitive Damages, Etc. EACH CREDIT PARTY AND LENDER PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH CREDIT PARTY AND LENDER PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH CREDIT PARTY AND LENDER PARTY WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT EACH HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF REVIEWING THIS JURY WAIVER WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS. EACH CREDIT PARTY AND LENDER PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUCH LEGAL PROCEEDING ANY “SPECIAL DAMAGES,” AS DEFINED BELOW. EACH CREDIT PARTY AND LENDER PARTY (X) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (Y) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. AS USED IN THIS SECTION, “SPECIAL DAMAGES” INCLUDES ALL SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (REGARDLESS OF HOW NAMED), BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY PAYMENTS OR FUNDS WHICH ANY PARTY HERETO HAS EXPRESSLY PROMISED TO PAY OR DELIVER TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO.

Section 11.11. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by this Agreement, each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any related services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver, or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between each Credit Party and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lender Parties, on the other hand, and each Credit Party is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks, and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver, or other modification hereof or thereof); (b) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each Lender Party is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent, or fiduciary for any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors, or employees or any other Person; (c) no Lender Party has assumed nor will assume an advisory, agency, or fiduciary responsibility in favor any Credit Party with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver, or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether such Lender Party has advised or is currently advising any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and no Lender Party has any obligation to any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (d) each Lender Party and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Credit Parties and their Affiliates, and the Lender Parties have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency, or fiduciary relationship; and (e) the Lender Parties will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory, or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver, or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and each Credit Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory, and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Credit Parties hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any claims that it may have against any Lender Party with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

| 129 | [Credit Agreement]

Section 11.12. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 11.13. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement, or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 11.14. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

| 130 | [Credit Agreement]

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation, and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

Section 11.15. Amendment and Restatement. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement is a restatement of, an extension of, and amendment to the Original Credit Agreement, and that from and after the Closing Date, the terms of the Original Credit Agreement shall be superseded by the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement does not in any way constitute a novation of the Original Credit Agreement, but is an amendment and restatement of the same. It is understood and agreed that: (a) the Obligations (under and as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) of the Borrower under the Original Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be Obligations of the Borrower outstanding under this Agreement and (b) the Liens securing the Secured Obligations (under and as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) and the rights, duties, liabilities, and obligations of the Credit Parties under the existing Loan Documents (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) shall not be extinguished but shall be carried forward and shall secure the Secured Obligations as amended, renewed, extended, and restated by this Agreement.
