Hedge Transactions The Loan Parties will not, and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, enter into any Hedge Transaction, other than Hedge Transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business to hedge or mitigate risks to which the Loan Parties are exposed in the conduct of their business or the management of their liabilities. Solely for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower acknowledges that a Hedge Transaction entered into for speculative purposes or of a speculative nature (which shall be deemed to include any Hedge Transaction under which any Loan Party is or may become obliged to make any payment (i) in connection with the purchase by any third party of any common stock or any Debt or (ii) as a result of changes in the market value of any common stock or any Debt) is not a Hedge Transaction entered into in the ordinary course of business to hedge or mitigate risks.
Hedging Contracts No Restricted Person will be a party to or in any manner be liable on any Hedging Contract, except:

Hedging Agreements The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Hedging Agreement, other than Hedging Agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business to hedge or mitigate risks to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is exposed in the conduct of its business or the management of its liabilities.

For purposes of the foregoing sentence, “good and defensible title” means that the Company’s or one and/or more of its Subsidiaries’, as applicable, title (as of the date hereof and as of the Closing) to each of the Oil and Gas Properties held or owned by them (or purported to be held or owned by them) beneficially or of record with any applicable Governmental Entity that (1) entitles the Company (and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries, as applicable) to receive (after satisfaction of all Production Burdens applicable thereto), not less than the net revenue interest share shown in the Company Reserve Report of all Hydrocarbons produced from such Oil and Gas Properties throughout the productive life of such Oil and Gas Properties (other than decreases in connection with operations in which the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be a non-consenting co-owner, decreases resulting from reversion of interests to co-owners with respect to operations in which such co-owners elected not to consent, decreases resulting from the establishment of pools or units, and decreases required to allow other working interest owners to make up past underproduction or pipelines to make up past under deliveries, in each case, to the extent occurring after the date of the Company Reserve Report) and (2) obligates the Company (and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries, as applicable) to bear a percentage of the costs and expenses for the maintenance and development of, and operations relating to, such Oil and Gas Properties, of not greater than the working interest shown on the Company Reserve Report for such Oil and Gas Properties (other than any positive difference between such percentage and the applicable working interest shown on the Company Reserve Report for such Oil and Gas Properties that are accompanied by a proportionate (or greater) increase in the net revenue interest in such Oil and Gas Properties).
Hedging Arrangements To the extent any Affiliate of a Lender is a party to a Secured Hedging Agreement with the Borrower, such Affiliate of a Lender shall be deemed to appoint the Administrative Agent its nominee and agent, and to act for and on behalf of such Affiliate in connection with the Security Documents and to be bound by this Article IX.
Brokerage Transactions Subject to the provisions of this Section 5 ---------------------- and absent instructions from the Investment Adviser or the Trust, the Subadviser will have full discretionary authority to place orders for the purchase and sale of securities for the account of the Fund with such brokers or dealers as it may select. In the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the Subadviser is directed at all times to seek for the Fund the most favorable execution and net price available. It is also understood, however, that it is desirable for the Fund that the Subadviser have access to supplemental investment and market research and security and economic analyses provided by certain brokers who may execute brokerage transactions at higher commissions to the Fund than may result when allocating brokerage to other brokers solely on the basis of seeking the most favorable price and efficient execution. Therefore, the Subadviser is authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of securities for the Fund with such certain brokers, subject to applicable laws and regulations and review by the Investment Adviser and the Trust's Board of Trustees from time to time with respect to the extent and continuation of this practice. It is understood that the services provided by such brokers may be useful to the Subadviser in connection with its services to other clients. On occasions when the Subadviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of the Fund as well as other clients of the Subadviser, the Subadviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased in order to obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient execution. In such event, allocation of securities so sold or purchased, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Subadviser in the manner the Subadviser considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such other clients. The Subadviser will report on such allocations at the request of the Investment Adviser, the Fund or the Trust's Board of Trustees, providing such information as the number of aggregated trades to which the Fund was a party, the broker(s) to whom such trades were directed and the basis of the allocation for the aggregated trades. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 and at the direction of the Investment Adviser or the Trust, the Subadviser may also consider sales of Fund shares as a factor in the selection of brokers or dealers for a Fund's portfolio transactions. In connection with purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the account of the Fund, neither the Subadviser nor any of its affiliated persons, will act as a principal or agent or receive directly or indirectly any compensation in connection with the purchase or sale of investment securities by the Fund, except as permitted by applicable law and with the express written consent of the Trust and the Investment Adviser. The Subadviser will advise the Fund's custodian and the Investment Adviser on a prompt basis of each purchase and sale of a portfolio security, specifying the name of the issuer, the description and amount or number of shares of the security purchased or sold, the market price, commission and gross or net price, trade date, settlement date and identity of the effecting broker or dealer, and such other information as may be reasonably required.
Hedging Agreement Any termination payment shall be due by the Borrower under any Hedging Agreement and such amount is not paid within ten (10) Business Days of the due date thereof.
Gas Contracts No Credit Party, as of the date hereof or as disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing, (a) is obligated in any material respect by virtue of any prepayment made under any contract containing a “take-or-pay” or “prepayment” provision or under any similar agreement to deliver Hydrocarbons produced from or allocated to any of the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ Oil and Gas Properties at some future date without receiving full payment therefor at the time of delivery or (b) except as has been disclosed to the Administrative Agent, has produced gas, in any material amount, subject to balancing rights of third parties or subject to balancing duties under Legal Requirements.
Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 10.4 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document 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 XI 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 Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.
