(c) This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude the Supporting Creditors from acquiring additional Debtor Claims/Interests; provided, however, such acquired Debtor Claims/Interests shall automatically and immediately upon acquisition by a Supporting Creditor be deemed subject to the terms of this Agreement (regardless of when or whether notice of such acquisition is given to the Debtors).

(d) To the extent the Debtors and another Party have entered into a separate confidentiality agreement with respect to the issuance of a “cleansing letter” or other public disclosure of information in connection with any proposed Restructuring (each such executed agreement, a “Confidentiality Agreement”), the terms of such Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to apply and remain in full force and effect according to its terms.

With respect to Claims related to the Prepetition Credit Agreements (“Credit Agreement Claims”), each Supporting Creditor Signature Block shall disclose only the aggregate principal amount of such Supporting Creditor’s beneficially owned or managed Credit Agreement Claims. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the reported amount of such Credit Agreement Claims does not necessarily reflect the full amount of such Creditor’s Claims in respect of the Prepetition Credit Agreements (including, without limitation, principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees and expenses) and any disclosure made on any Supporting Creditor Signature Block shall be without prejudice to any subsequent assertion by or on behalf of such Supporting Creditor of the full amount of its Claims.

10.14. Automatic Stay. The Company acknowledges and agrees, and shall not dispute, that the giving of a termination notice in accordance with Section 7 and 10.09 hereof by any of the Supporting Creditors shall not be a violation of the automatic stay under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (and the Company hereby waives, to the greatest extent possible, the applicability of such automatic stay to the giving of such notice), and the Supporting Creditors are hereby authorized to take any steps necessary to effectuate the termination of this Agreement notwithstanding section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, and no cure period contained in this Agreement shall be extended pursuant to sections 108 or 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law without the prior written consent of the Required Term Lenders and, with respect to any cure period related to a termination event under (a) Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement, the Required Supporting RBL Lenders and (b) Section 7.01(c) of this Agreement, the Required Supporting Noteholders.

10.15. Settlement Discussions; No Admission. This Agreement and the Plan are part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Parties hereto. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement shall in no event be construed as or be deemed to be evidence of an admission or concession on the part of any Party of any claim or fault or liability or damages whatsoever.

10.16. Several, Not Joint, Claims. The agreements, representations, warranties, and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement are, in all respects, several and not joint.

10.17. Relationship Among Parties. None of the Supporting Creditors shall have any fiduciary duty, any duty of trust or confidence in any form, or other duties or responsibilities to each other, any Supporting Creditor, any Company Party, or any of the Company Party’s respective creditors or other stakeholders, and there are no commitments among or between the Supporting Creditors, in each case except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that any Supporting Creditor may trade in any debt or equity securities of any Company Parties without the consent of the Company or any Supporting Creditor, subject to Section 4.03 of this Agreement and applicable securities laws. No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidence among or between any of the Supporting Creditors, and/or the Company Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement. The Parties have no agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any securities of any of the Company Parties and do not constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Rule 13d-5 promulgated thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt: (1) each Supporting Creditor is entering into this Agreement directly with the Company and not with any other Supporting Creditor, (2) no other Supporting Creditor shall have any right to bring any action against any other Supporting Creditor with respect this Agreement (or any breach thereof) and (3) no Supporting Creditor shall, nor shall any action taken by a Supporting Creditor pursuant to this Agreement, be deemed to be acting in concert or as any group with any other Supporting Creditor with respect to the obligations under this Agreement nor shall this Agreement create a presumption that the Supporting Creditors are in any way acting as a group. All rights under this Agreement are separately granted to each Supporting Creditor by the Company and vice versa, and the use of a single document is for the convenience of the Company. The decision to commit to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been made independently. Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way prohibit or limit the right and ability of any Supporting Creditor to (a) be granted a lien or other interest in the Company’s rights under this Agreement, (b) be assigned such rights by the Company for purposes or enforcement against any Supporting Creditor, or (c) seek standing to bring an action derivatively or on behalf of the Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases, under the Plan or otherwise.

10.18. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect if essential terms and conditions of this Agreement for each Party remain valid, binding, and enforceable.

10.19. Specific Performance/Remedies. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (including attorney’s fees and costs) as a remedy for any such breach, in addition to any other remedy to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled, at law or equity, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, including an order of the Chosen Court or the Bankruptcy Court requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder. Each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with such remedy.

10.20. Remedies Cumulative. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party.

This Term Sheet is being agreed to in connection with entry by the Debtors and the Supporting Creditors into that certain Amended & Restated Restructuring Support Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2019 (as may be amended, supplemented or modified pursuant to the terms thereof, the “RSA”).

OVERVIEW OF THE RESTRUCTURING
In general, the Restructuring contemplates the following, in each case subject to the terms and conditions described more fully herein, the RSA, and the Sponsor Backstop Commitment Agreement:

	(a) The Debtors will implement the Restructuring in the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Plan on the terms set forth in this Term Sheet (as supplemented by the RSA, Sponsor Backstop Commitment Agreement, Noteholder Backstop Commitment Agreement, DIP Documents, Exit Facility Term Sheet, MIP Term Sheet and Governance Term Sheet). (b) The Debtors will obtain a debtor-in-possession financing facility (the “DIP Facility”) from certain of the RBL Lenders as set forth in the Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-In-Possession Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 (the “DIP Credit Agreement” and the lenders from time to time party thereto, the “DIP Lenders”) and the proposed interim order approving the DIP Facility attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (the “Interim DIP Order”). The DIP Facility shall consist of (i) a new money revolving loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $100 million (“New Money DIP Claims”) and (ii) a refinancing term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $250 million (“Refinanced DIP Claims”). The DIP Credit Agreement, the Interim DIP Order, the final order approving the DIP Facility (the “Final DIP Order”, and together with the Interim DIP Order, the “DIP Orders”), and other documents related thereto are collectively referred to as, the “DIP Documents”. (c) Certain funds managed or advised by GSO Capital Partners LP and its affiliates (collectively, the “Plan Sponsor”) will agree (i) to consent to the DIP Facility and the use of their cash collateral to fund the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to the DIP Documents, (ii) to vote all of their prepetition claims (including Term Loan Claims and Notes Claims) to accept the Plan pursuant to the RSA, (iii) to backstop a $189.8 million equity commitment (the “Sponsor Backstop Commitment”) pursuant to the Sponsor Backstop Commitment Agreement and to backstop $10.2 million of a $66.5 million Rights Offering pursuant to the Noteholder Backstop Commitment Agreement and (iv) to the extent approved by the Plan Sponsor, the Debtors, and the Required Supporting Noteholders or otherwise consistent with this Term Sheet, provide additional capital in the form of an unsecured note (the “New Exit Note”) subject to documentation, terms, and conditions to be agreed between the Plan Sponsor and the Debtors, which would be offered to the Plan Sponsor and the Noteholders that participate in the Rights Offering as set forth herein. (d) The DIP Lenders will agree (i) to provide the DIP Facility and consent to the use of their cash collateral to fund the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to the DIP Documents and (ii) to vote all of their RBL Claims and Refinanced DIP Claims to accept the Plan pursuant to the RSA. (e) The Supporting RBL Lenders will agree to provide a senior secured revolving asset-based lending credit facility in a maximum amount of $500 million as set forth in the exit facility term sheet annexed hereto as Exhibit D (the “Exit Facility Term Sheet”). (f) The Supporting Noteholders will agree to vote all of their Notes Claims to accept the Plan pursuant to the RSA.

(g) The Debtors may, at the Plan Sponsor’s option, offer an additional $125 million of New Common Stock pursuant to the Incremental Equity Investment as described below.

(h) All Claims arising under the DIP Facility will be satisfied in full by one or a combination of the following: (i) New Money DIP Claims shall be paid in full in cash not later than the Effective Date, and (ii) Refinanced DIP Claims (A) will be paid in cash and exchanged into the Exit Facility pursuant to the Exit Facility Term Sheet, or (B) if the Exit Facility is not consummated, will be paid in full in cash not later than the Effective Date.

(i) All RBL Claims will be satisfied in full by one or a combination of the following: (i) distribution of claims under the credit facilities described in the Exit Facility Term Sheet (the “Exit Facility”) in exchange for the RBL Claims; or (ii) if the Exit Facility is not consummated, payment in full in cash not later than the Effective Date. For avoidance of doubt, there shall not be any cash paid on account of the principal balance of RBL Claims pursuant to any plan unless and until all Refinanced DIP Claims are paid in full in cash on the Effective Date.

(j) In full and final satisfaction of all Term Loan Claims, holders thereof will receive their respective Pro Rata share of an amount of New Common Stock in accordance with the percentage ownership of the New Common Equity Pool set forth on Annex I.

(k) Holders of Notes Claims (“Noteholders”) will receive (i) their respective Pro Rata share of an amount of New Common Stock that is in accordance with the percentage ownership of the New Common Equity Pool set forth on Annex I and (ii) their respective Pro Rata share on the basis of their respective holdings of Note Claims of Subscription Rights to participate in an equity rights offering in an amount not to exceed $66.5 million (the “Rights Offering”) (provided that $10.2 million of such rights shall be allocated to the Plan Sponsor and shall not be subject to reduction for any reason and the Plan Sponsor shall in no event receive any rights in excess of $10.2 million, and any such amount in excess of $10.2 million shall instead be allocated to the other Noteholders on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective holdings of Notes Claims), which Subscription Rights may only be exercised by Noteholders that are “accredited investors” as defined under Rule 501 of the Securities Act, which Rights Offering shall be backstopped in an amount equal to $66.5 million by certain of the Supporting Noteholders on the terms set forth in the Noteholder Backstop Commitment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit G (including all schedules and exhibits thereto, the “Noteholder Backstop Commitment Agreement”). In addition, Noteholders that subscribe to the Rights Offering (each a “Participating Noteholder”) shall receive their respective pro rata share (calculated as a proportion of such Noteholder’s participation in the Rights Offering relative to other Participating Noteholders) of (x) an amount of New Common Stock in accordance with the percentage ownership of the New Common Equity Pool set forth on Annex I (the “Participation Premium”) less the Non-Accredited Investor Premium (as defined below) and (y) rights to participate in up to 49% of the New Exit Note, if any; provided that, to the extent a Noteholder is unable to exercise its Subscription Rights because it is not an accredited investor, it shall receive its pro rata share of the Participation Premium as if it were a fully-subscribing Participating Noteholder so long as it delivers a notice to counsel to the Debtors, counsel to the Plan Sponsor, and counsel to the Noteholder Backstop Parties (as defined below) certifying that it is not an accredited investor (the “Non-Accredited Investor Premium”).

	(l) Holders of General Unsecured Claims shall receive payment in full in cash or such General Unsecured Claims shall be reinstated. (m) Holders of Interests in Legacy Reserves shall receive no recovery under the Plan, and all such Interests shall be extinguished.

	This Term Sheet incorporates the rules of construction as set forth in section 102 of the Bankruptcy Code.

To the extent not paid in cash, holders of RBL Claims and Refinanced DIP Claims shall receive a distribution of commitments under the Exit Facility (in the manner set forth in the Exit Facility Term Sheet) in exchange for such RBL and Refinanced DIP Claims, on a Pro Rata basis.

New Exit Note: If the Plan Sponsor, Required Supporting Noteholders and the Debtors determine that post-emergence liquidity from the Exit Facility, the Sponsor Backstop Commitment, the Rights Offering, and the Incremental Equity Investment, if any, is insufficient (including to account for any potential contingency), the Plan Sponsor may, with the prior written consent of the Debtors and the Required Supporting Noteholders, provide the New Exit Note in an amount and on terms to be agreed upon between the Plan Sponsor, the Required Supporting Noteholders and the Debtors. Participating Noteholders shall be permitted to participate in funding their pro rata share (calculated as a proportion of such Noteholder’s participation in the Rights Offering relative to other Participating Noteholders) of up to 49% of the aggregate amount of the New Exit Note; provided that the consent of the Required Supporting Noteholders will not be required if the New Exit Note is necessary to meet the conditions precedent under the Exit Facility or an alternative exit facility, as applicable.

The Debtors shall timely seek approval from the Bankruptcy Court to obtain relief necessary to effectuate the Exit Facility and the New Exit Note, as applicable.

Third Party Investor(s)

The Debtors shall, without limitation to other terms and conditions to be agreed between the Debtors, the Plan Sponsor, and any Partner in connection with such Partner’s participation in any of the foregoing, agree to provide representations and warranties to any such Partner in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Plan Sponsor and the Debtors pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Plan Sponsor and the Debtors.

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01 Commitments.

(a) Subject to the applicable terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each New Money Lender agrees to make new money loans (the “New Money Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in: (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) during the Interim Period, such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding its Applicable Percentage of the Interim Facility Cap, or (iii) the total Revolving Credit Exposure of all New Money Lenders exceeding the then-effective Available Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow the New Money Loans.

(b) On the (i) Interim Facility Effective Date, each Refinancing Lender shall become entitled to roll up an aggregate principal amount of Existing Loans held by such Lender equal to such Refinancing Lender’s Interim Refinanced Loan Amount as set forth opposite such Refinancing Lender’s name on Annex I under “Interim Refinanced Loan Amount” into roll-up loans hereunder (the “Interim Refinanced Loans”) and (ii) Final Facility Effective Date, each Refinancing Lender shall become entitled to roll up an aggregate principal amount of Existing Loans held by such Lender equal to such Refinancing Lender’s Final Refinanced Loan Amount as set forth opposite such Refinancing Lender’s name on Annex I under “Final Refinanced Loan Amount” into roll-up loans hereunder (the “Final Refinanced Loans” and, together with the Interim Refinanced Loans, collectively the “Refinanced Loans”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and without any further action by any party to this Agreement, each Refinancing Lender’s (i) Interim Refinanced Loans shall, from and after the Interim Facility Effective Date, and (ii) Final Refinanced Loans shall, from and after the Final Facility Effective Date, be designated as Refinanced Loans and administered hereunder. Such designation is not intended to and shall not constitute a payment on account of or a novation of the applicable Existing Loans, which shall continue to be outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement and administered under this Agreement as Refinanced Loans. As a consequence of such designation, and solely to enable the Refinanced Loans to be administered hereunder, effective with such designation, each Refinanced Loan that is the subject of such designation shall from and after such designation constitute a Refinanced Loan hereunder; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, until any Existing Loan has been designated as a Refinanced Loan hereunder and approved by the applicable DIP Order, the Refinanced Loans shall continue to be guaranteed by the Guarantors under the Existing Guaranty Agreement and secured by and entitled to the benefits of all Liens and security interests created and arising under the Existing Security Instruments, which Liens and security interests shall remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis, unimpaired, uninterrupted and undischarged, and having the same perfected status and priority. Each such designation shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the Existing Loans held by such Refinancing Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement to the extent rolled up under this Agreement as set forth on Annex I. For the avoidance of doubt, each Refinancing Lender acknowledges and agrees that, by accepting the benefits of this Agreement, on the Interim Facility Effective Date and Final Facility Effective Date, as applicable, each Existing Lender rolling up loans under this Agreement shall become a party to this Agreement as a Refinancing Lender hereunder by executing and delivering a counterpart to this Agreement. Amounts rolled up under this Section 2.01(b) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. The Agent shall update Annex I on each of the Interim Facility Effective Date and the Final Facility Effective Date to reflect each Refinancing Lender’s Refinanced Loan Amount (which Refinanced Loan Amount listed on Annex I shall be conclusive absent manifest error) and deliver such updated Annex I to the Borrower and the Refinancing Lenders, whereupon such updated Annex I shall constitute Annex I for all purposes hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Refinanced Loans shall be ABR Loans and shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

129

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Borrowings; Several Obligations. Each New Money Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of New Money Loans made by the New Money Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any New Money Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other New Money Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments are several and no New Money Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required hereunder.

(b) Types of Loans. Subject to Section 3.03, each Borrowing of New Money Loans shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each New Money Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such New Money Lender to make such New Money Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such New Money Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

130

(c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that any Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.08(e). Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of eight (8) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

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

Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing of New Money Loans, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Houston time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 pm noon, Houston time, on the Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing; provided that no such notice shall be required for any deemed request of a Eurodollar Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.08(e). Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit B and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(a) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(b) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

131

(d) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period of one month;

(e) the amount of (i) the then-effective Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the amount of Available Funds and the then-effective Available Commitments, (C) the current total Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to the requested Borrowing) and (D) the pro forma total Revolving Credit Exposures (giving effect to the requested Borrowing);

(f) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.05;

Each Borrowing Request shall constitute a representation that (a) the amount of the requested Borrowing shall not cause the total Revolving Credit Exposures to exceed the total Available Commitments. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04 Interest Elections.

(a) Conversion and Continuance. Except as provided in Section 2.08, each Borrowing of New Money Loans initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period of one month. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as provided in this Section 2.04. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the New Money Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the New Money Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) Interest Election Requests. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(c) Information in Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(iii) and (iv) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

132

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which, in all cases, whether or not so indicated in such Interest Election Request, shall be a period of one month.

If any such Interest Election Request does not specify a Type, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Eurodollar Borrowing with an initial Interest Period of one month.

(d) Notice to New Money Lenders by the Agent. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Agent shall advise each New Money Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) Effect of Failure to Deliver Timely Interest Election Request and Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurodollar Loan having an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing (and any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective) and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.05 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each New Money Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., Houston time, to the account of the Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Agent will make such New Money Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Eurodollar Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.08(e) shall be remitted by the Agent to the Issuing Bank that made such LC Disbursement. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for its New Money Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for its New Money Loan in any particular place or manner.

(b) Presumption of Funding by the Lenders. Unless the 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 Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.05(a) 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 Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the 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 Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

133

Section 2.06 Termination and Reduction of Aggregate Commitments.

(a) Scheduled Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. If at any time the Aggregate Commitments is terminated or reduced to zero, then the Commitments shall terminate on the effective date of such termination or reduction.

(b) Optional Termination and Reduction of Aggregate Credit Amounts.

(i) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (A) each reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000, and (B) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 3.04(c), the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the Available Commitments.

(ii) The Borrower shall notify the Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments under Section 2.06(b)(i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(ii) shall be irrevocable. Any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be permanent and may not be reinstated. Each reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage.

Section 2.07 [Reserved].

Section 2.08 Letters of Credit.

(a) General.

In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall deliver as permitted by Section 12.01(a) (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to any Issuing Bank and the Agent (not less than five (5) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice:

Each notice shall constitute a representation that after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as applicable, (A) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Commitment and (B) the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the then-effective Available Commitments.

135

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business no later than ten (10) days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank that issues such Letter of Credit or the New Money Lenders, each Issuing Bank that issues a Letter of Credit hereunder hereby grants to each New Money Lender, and each New Money Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such New Money Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each New Money Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of any Issuing Bank that issues a Letter of Credit hereunder, such New Money Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.08(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each New Money Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.08(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default, aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the Available Commitments or reduction or termination of the Aggregate Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m., Houston time, on the third day after such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m., Houston time, 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 1:00 p.m., Houston time, on (i) the third day after the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., Houston time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the third day after the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that if such LC Disbursement is less than or equal to $1,000,000, the Borrower shall, subject to the conditions to Borrowing set forth herein, be deemed to have requested, and the Borrower does hereby request under such circumstances, that such payment be financed with a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Eurodollar Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Agent shall notify each New Money Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such New Money Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each New Money Lender shall pay to the Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to New Money Loans made by such New Money Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit the amounts so received by it from the New Money Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08(e), the Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit or, to the extent that New Money Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.08(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such New Money Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a New Money Lender pursuant to this Section 2.08(e) to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Eurodollar Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a New Money Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. Any LC Disbursement not reimbursed by the Borrower or funded as a New Money Loan prior to 1:00 p.m., Houston time on the date such Disbursement is made, shall bear interest for each such day such Disbursement is outstanding at rate per annum then applicable to Eurodollar Loans.

136

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.08(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit Agreement, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.08(f), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Agent, the New Money Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised all requisite care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

137

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the New Money Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, until the Borrower shall have reimbursed such Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement (either with its own funds or a Borrowing under Section 2.08(e)), the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Eurodollar Loans. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.08(h) shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any New Money Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced or resign at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Agent, such resigning or replaced Issuing Bank and, in the case of a replacement, the successor Issuing Bank. The Agent shall notify the New Money Lenders of any such resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.05(b). In the case of the replacement of an Issuing Bank, from and after the effective date of such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

138

(j) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Borrower receives notice from the Agent or the Majority Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.08(j), (ii) the Borrower is required to pay to the Agent the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(c), or (iii) the Borrower is required to Cash Collateralize a Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(iii)(B), then the Borrower shall pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Agent (as a first priority, perfected security interest), for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, at a location and pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, an amount in cash in dollars equal to such LC Exposure or excess attributable to such LC Exposure, as the case may be, as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Bank and the New Money Lenders, an exclusive first priority and continuing perfected security interest in and Lien on such account and all cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time deposited or held in such account, all deposits or wire transfers made thereto, any and all investments purchased with funds deposited in such account, all interest, dividends, cash, instruments, financial assets and other Property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise payable in respect of, or in exchange for, any or all of the foregoing, and all proceeds, products, accessions, rents, profits, income and benefits therefrom, and any substitutions and replacements therefor. The Borrower’s obligation to deposit amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08(j) shall be absolute and unconditional, without regard to whether any beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit has attempted to draw down all or a portion of such amount under the terms of a Letter of Credit, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be subject to any defense or be affected by a right of set-off, counterclaim or recoupment which any Debtor may now or hereafter have against any such beneficiary, any Issuing Bank, the Agent, the New Money Lenders or any other Person for any reason whatsoever. Such deposit shall be held as collateral securing the payment and performance of the Borrower’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account; provided that investments of funds in such account in investments permitted by Section 9.05(d) or Section 9.05(f) may be made at the option of the Borrower at its direction, risk and expense. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse, on a pro rata basis, each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors, if any, under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(iii)(B) as a result of a Defaulting Lender, and the Borrower is not otherwise required to pay to the Agent the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(c), then such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or the events giving rise to such Cash Collateralization pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(iii)(B) have been satisfied or resolved.

Section 2.09 Collateral; Guarantees.

(a) Priority and Liens. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, upon entry of the DIP Orders and the delivery and execution of this Agreement, the Obligations shall at all times be secured and perfected pursuant to, and have the superpriority claims and liens as set forth in, the DIP Orders and herein.

139

(b) Payment of Obligations. On the Termination Date, the Lenders shall be entitled to immediate payment of all Obligations without further application to, or order of, the Bankruptcy Court.

(c) No Discharge; Survival of Claims. Each Debtor agrees that (a) any Confirmation Order entered in the Bankruptcy Cases shall not discharge or otherwise affect in any way any of the Obligations, other than after the payment in full in cash to the Secured Parties of all Obligations (and the Cash Collateralization of all outstanding Letters of Credit in amount and subject to documentation satisfactory to the Issuing Bank) and termination of the Commitments on or before the effective date of an Approved Plan of Reorganization and (b) to the extent the Obligations are not satisfied in full, (i) the Obligations shall not be discharged by the entry of a Confirmation Order (and each Loan Party, pursuant to Section 1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, hereby waives any such discharge) and (ii) the Superpriority Claim granted to the Agent, the Lenders, the Secured Swap Parties and the Secured Cash Management Providers pursuant to the DIP Order and the Liens granted to the Agent pursuant to the DIP Order shall not be affected in any manner by the entry of a Confirmation Order.

(d) Perfection and Protection of Security Interests and Liens. The Loan Parties will from time to time deliver to the Agent all financing statements, amendments, assignments and continuation statements, extension agreements and other documents, properly completed and executed (and acknowledged when required) by each Loan Party, as applicable, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, in each case, which the Agent requests for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, or protecting its lien and security interest in Collateral for the purpose of securing the Obligations.

(e) Offset. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable DIP Order, to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, each Debtor hereby grants the Agent and each Lender a security interest, lien, and right of offset, each of which shall be in addition to all other interests, liens, and rights of the Agent at common law, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, and each of which shall be upon and against (i) any and all monies, securities or other property (and the proceeds therefrom) of the Debtors now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to the Agent or any Lender from or for the account of any Debtor, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of any Debtor with the Agent or any Lender, and (ii) any other credits and claims of any Debtor at any time existing against the Agent or any Lender, including claims under certificates of deposit. During the existence of any Event of Default, the Agent or any Lender is hereby authorized to foreclose upon, offset, appropriate, and apply, at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Debtor, any and all items hereinabove referred to against the Obligations then due and payable.

(f) The direct or indirect value of the consideration received and to be received by such Guarantor in connection herewith is reasonably worth at least as much as the liability and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and the incurrence of such liability and obligations in return for such consideration may reasonably be expected to benefit each Guarantor, directly or indirectly.

140

(g) The Bankruptcy Cases were commenced on the Petition Date in accordance with applicable law and proper notice thereof and the proper notice for (i) the motions seeking approval of the Loan Documents and the DIP Facility and (ii) the hearings for the approval of the Interim Order and the Final Order were given in each case. The Borrower has given, on a timely basis as specified in the Interim Order, all notices required to be given on or prior to the date of this representation to all parties specified in the Interim Order.

(h) All Obligations of the Debtors to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including all Loans made under the DIP Facility, shall, subject to the Carve-Out, at all times:

(i) pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 364(c)(1), be entitled to joint and several Superpriority Claim status in the Bankruptcy Case, which claims in respect of the New Money Facility and the Refinancing Facility shall be pari passu and shall be senior in priority and payment to the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement;

(iii) pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 364(c)(3), be secured by a perfected junior lien on all assets of the Loan Parties, to the extent that such assets are subject to a valid, perfected and non-avoidable Liens as of the Petition Date or liens that were in existence immediately prior to the Petition Date that are perfected as permitted by Section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; and

(iv) pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 364(d), be secured by a perfected superpriority priming Lien on all Collateral to the extent that such Collateral is subject to valid, perfected and non-avoidable liens in favor of third parties as of the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, including, all accounts receivable, inventory, real and personal property, plant and equipment of the Loan Parties that secure the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Existing Second Lien Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE III

Section 3.01 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Termination Date.

Section 3.02 Interest.

141

(a) ABR Loans. Each ABR Loan comprising an ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.

(b) Eurodollar Loans. Each Eurodollar Loan comprising a Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Eurodollar Loan plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.

(c) Post-Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, then all New Money Loans outstanding, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at the Alternate Base Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, as applicable, plus the Applicable Margin, plus two percent (2%), but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.

(d) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on, with respect to any ABR Loan or Eurodollar Loan, the last Business Day of each calendar month and on the Termination Date; provided that (A) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.02(c) shall be payable on demand, (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than an optional prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and (C) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) Interest Rate Computations. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and be binding upon the parties hereto.

Section 3.03 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

142

Section 3.04 Prepayments.

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 3.04(b) and payment of applicable breakage costs, if any, under Section 5.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no voluntary prepayment of Refinanced Loans may be made until all New Money Loans and all other Obligations in respect thereof have been paid in full in cash and all Commitments have been terminated.

(b) Notice and Terms of Optional Prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Houston time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Houston time, one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02(c). Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02 and any payments to the extent required by Section 5.02.

(i) If, after giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to Section 2.06(b), or for any other reason, the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the total Available Commitments, then the Borrower shall (A) prepay the New Money Loans, to be applied ratably to each New Money Lender, on the date of such termination or reduction in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and (B) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, Cash Collateralize such excess as provided in Section 2.08(j).

(ii) Subject to the payment priorities set forth in the DIP Orders, if the Debtors (A) sell any Property outside of the ordinary course of business pursuant to Section 9.12(d) or otherwise sell any Property outside of the ordinary course of business as not otherwise permitted by this Agreement or (B) receive any insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds, in each case, including when an Event of Default exists, then the Borrower shall prepay the Refinanced Loans (ratably to each Refinancing Lender) in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (x) 100% of Net Cash Proceeds received from such sale or proceeds and (y) the aggregate principal amount of Refinanced Loans then outstanding. The Borrower shall be obligated to make such prepayment and/or Cash Collateralize such excess on the date it or any Subsidiary receives cash proceeds; provided that all payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.04(c)(ii) must be made on or prior to the Termination Date. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.04(c)(ii) shall be applied ratably to the Refinanced Loans. Prepayments pursuant to this Section 3.04(c)(ii) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent any interest under such Loans being repaid remains unpaid.

(e) No Effect on Secured Swap Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements. Prepayments permitted or required under this Section 3.04 shall not affect the Borrower’s obligation to continue making payments under any Secured Swap Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, as applicable, each of which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such prepayment, subject to the terms of such Secured Swap Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, as applicable.

Section 3.05 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each New Money Lender (subject to Section 4.03(c)(i) and in accordance with each such Lender’s Applicable Percentage) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the unused amount of the Commitment of such New Money Lender during the period from and including the Interim Facility Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, provided, that, during the Interim Period, the commitment fee shall be calculated based on the Interim Facility Cap. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar month and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case such commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Agent for the account of each Lender (subject to Section 4.03(c)(iii)) a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee equal to 0.50% per annum on the face amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank hereunder, provided that in no event shall such fee be less than $500 and (iii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, its standard fees with respect to the amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date of this Agreement; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the Termination Date and any such fees accruing after the Termination Date shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.05(b) shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case such fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

144

(d) Up-Front Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of each New Money Lender, an up-front fee (the “Up-Front Fee”) on the Aggregate Commitments of New Money Loans, which shall be earned and due and payable in the following manner: (i) on the Interim Facility Effective Date, in an amount equal to 1.75% of the Interim Facility Cap, and (ii) on the Final Facility Effective Date, in an amount equal to (1) 1.75% of (2) the Aggregate Commitments less the Interim Facility Cap.

ARTICLE IV

PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING OF SET-OFFS.

Section 4.01 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Houston time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without defense, deduction, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Fees, once paid, shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Agent at its offices specified in Section 12.01, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

145

(c) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 4.02 Presumption of Payment by the Borrower. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank that the Borrower will not make such payment, the 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 such Issuing Bank, 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 such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank 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 Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 4.03 Payments and Deductions by the Agent; Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Certain Deductions by the Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(a), Section 2.05(b), Section 2.08(d), Section 2.08(e) or Section 4.02 then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

146

(b) Payments and Deductions to Defaulting Lenders.

(i) The Borrower shall have the right, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff any amounts owed to it by any Defaulting Lender or any of such Defaulting Lender’s Affiliates in respect of deposit liabilities against amounts due by the Borrower or any Guarantor to such Defaulting Lender or its Affiliates under this Agreement, provided that the amount of such set-off shall not exceed the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposures and interest. Further, if any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(a), Section 2.08(d), Section 2.08(e) or Section 4.02 then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid in cash.

(ii) If a Defaulting Lender (or a Lender who would be a Defaulting Lender but for the expiration of the relevant grace period) as a result of the exercise of a set-off shall have received a payment in respect of its Revolving Credit Exposure which results in its Revolving Credit Exposure being less than its Applicable Percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures, then no payments will be made to such Defaulting Lender until such time as all amounts due and owing to the Lenders have been equalized in accordance with each of the Lenders respective pro rata share of the Obligations. Further, if at any time prior to the acceleration or maturity of the Loans, the Agent shall receive any payment in respect of principal of a Loan or a reimbursement of an LC Disbursement while one or more Defaulting Lenders shall be party to this Agreement, the Agent shall apply such payment first to the Borrowing(s) for which such Defaulting Lender(s) shall have failed to fund its pro rata share until such time as such Borrowing(s) are paid in full or each Lender (including each Defaulting Lender) is owed its Applicable Percentage of all Loans then outstanding. After acceleration or maturity of the Loans, subject to the first sentence of this Section 4.03(b), all principal will be paid ratably as provided in Section 10.02(c).

(c) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i) Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.05.

(ii) The Commitment and the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 12.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

147

(iii) if any LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(A) all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (for the purposes of such reallocation the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall be disregarded in determining the Non-Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage) but only to the extent (1) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments, (2) the conditions set forth in Section 6.03 are satisfied at such time and (3) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure plus its reallocated share of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment; provided that, subject to Section 12.22, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation;

(B) if the reallocation described in Section 4.03(c)(iii)(A) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, then the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Agent Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(iii)(A)) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.08(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding and the relevant Defaulting Lender remains a Defaulting Lender;

(C) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(iii)(B), then the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized;

(D) if the LC Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(iii)(A), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.05(a) and Section 3.05(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; or

(E) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(iii)(A) or Section 4.03(c)(iii)(B), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.05(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated.

148

(d) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC 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 4.03(c)(iii)(B), 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 4.03(c)(iii)(A) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

(e) If the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

(f) In the event that the Agent, the Borrower and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans and/or participations in Letters of Credit of the other Lenders as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans and/or participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

INCREASED COSTS; BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS; TAXES; ILLEGALITY

Section 5.01 Increased Costs.

(a) Eurodollar Changes in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);

(ii) subject any Lender or other recipient of any payment under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

149

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) Certificates. A certificate of a Lender or any Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of its request and the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 5.01(a) or (b) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Effect of Failure or Delay in Requesting Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Lender may make any such demand more than 180 days after the Termination Date, nor for any amount which has accrued more than 270 days prior to such Lender or Issuing Bank delivering the certificate required in Section 5.01(c).

Section 5.02 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market.

150

A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Section 5.03 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03(a)), the Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate of the Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank as to the basis of such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and the amount of such payment or liability under this Section 5.03 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

151

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or a Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the 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 Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(i) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the 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 Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the 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 Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) 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 establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. 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 establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

152

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if 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 substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(iii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the 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 Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iv) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. 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 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the 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 (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each of the Lenders, the Agent and the Issuing Bank 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, in the case of the Lenders, the Agent) in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (f) (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 clause (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (f) 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 clause (f) 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.

153

(g) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the 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 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 12.04(c)(ii) 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 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 Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the 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 Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this clause (g).

Section 5.04 Designation of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, then such Lender shall 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 (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future and (b) 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.

Section 5.05 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its applicable lending office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans either generally or having a particular Interest Period hereunder, then (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make such Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (the “Affected Loans”) until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain such Eurodollar Loans and (b) all Affected Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender shall be made instead as ABR Loans (and, if such Lender so requests by notice to the Borrower and the Agent, all Affected Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Affected Loans are so made as (or converted into) ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans.

The Agent shall have no duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02) and in all cases the Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Documents unless it shall (a) receive written instructions from the Majority Lenders, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02) specifying the action to be taken and (b) be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The instructions as aforesaid and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto by the Agent shall be binding on all of the Lenders. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the requisite Lenders in the written instructions (with indemnities) described in this Section 11.03, provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. In no event, however, shall the Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or applicable law. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or the Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02), and otherwise the Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith INCLUDING ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment.

Section 11.04 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon and each of the Borrower, the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby waives the right to dispute the Agent’s record of such statement, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Agent. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof permitted hereunder shall have been filed with the Agent.

Section 11.05 Subagents. The Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding Sections of this Article XI shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

Section 11.06 Resignation or Removal of Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this Section 11.06, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Borrower, and the Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation or removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XI and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

Section 11.07 Agent and Lenders. Each bank serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Debtor or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

Section 11.08 No Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be required to keep themselves informed as to the performance or observance by any Debtor of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the Properties or books of the Debtors. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, no Agent nor the Arranger shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its Affiliates. In this regard, each Lender acknowledges that Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP is acting in this transaction as special counsel to the Agent only, except to the extent otherwise expressly stated in any legal opinion or any Loan Document. Each other party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with the Loan Documents and the matters contemplated therein.

196

Section 11.09 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or other judicial proceeding relative to any Debtor, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, 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, LC Exposure and all 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 Issuing Bank and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Agent under Section 12.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(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 Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Section 12.03.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any chapter 11 plan, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 11.10 Authority of Agent to Release Collateral and Liens. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to release any collateral that is permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with any sale or other disposition of Property to the extent such sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms of Section 9.12 or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents.

197

Section 11.11 Secured Cash Management Agreements. No Secured Cash Management Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 10.02(c), any Loan Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Guarantee, any Security Instrument or any other Loan 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 Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements unless the Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Agent may request, from the applicable Secured Cash Management Provider.

Section 11.12 The Arranger. The Arranger shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents other than its duties, responsibilities and liabilities in its capacity as a Lender hereunder to the extent it is a party to this Agreement as a Lender.

Section 12.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure on the part of the Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Agent, each other Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent, any other Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

199

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any Security Instrument nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Majority Lenders or by the Borrower and the Agent with the consent of the Majority Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, or reduce any other Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or any other Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone or extend the Termination Date or the Maturity Date without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; (iv) change Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender; (v) waive or amend Section 3.04(c), Section 6.01, Section 6.02, Section 8.14, Section 10.02(c), Section 12.14 or any provisions of this Section 12.02(b) or change the definition of the terms “Domestic Subsidiary”, “Foreign Subsidiary”, “Material Domestic Subsidiary” or “Subsidiary”, without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender); provided, further, that any waiver or amendment to the terms of Section 12.14 or this proviso in this Section 12.02(b)(v) shall also require the written consent of each Secured Swap Party (unless such Secured Swap Party is a Defaulting Lender), and any amendment or waiver to the terms of Section 10.02(c) shall also require the written consent of each Secured Swap Party adversely affected thereby; (vi) amend or otherwise modify any Security Instrument in a manner that results in the Secured Swap Obligations secured by such Security Instrument no longer being secured thereby on an equal and ratable basis with the principal of the Loans, or amend or otherwise change the definition of “Secured Swap Agreement,” “Secured Swap Obligations” or “Secured Swap Party” without the written consent of each Secured Swap Party adversely affected thereby; (vii) release any Guarantor, release all or substantially all of the collateral (other than as provided in Section 11.10), or reduce the percentage set forth in Section 8.13 to be less than 80%, without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender); or (viii) change any of the provisions of this Section 12.02(b) or the definitions of “Required Lenders” or “Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or any other Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender); provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent, any other Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Agent, such other Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be and (B) nothing in this Section 12.02 shall cause any waiver, amendment, modification or consent to (1) any fee letter between the Borrower and any Lender or the Agent or the Issuing Bank to require the consent of the Majority Lenders, (2) any Letter of Credit Agreements between the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower and the Issuing Bank to require the consent of the Majority Lenders, (3) any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to require the consent of the Majority Lenders except as specifically required by Section 2.08, or (4) any Secured Cash Management Agreement to require the consent of the Majority Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) any supplement to Schedule 7.14 (Subsidiaries) shall be effective simply by delivering to the Agent a supplemental schedule clearly marked as such and, upon receipt, the Agent will promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Lenders, (B) any Security Instrument may be supplemented to add additional collateral or join additional Persons as Guarantors with the consent of the Agent, and (C) the Borrower and the Agent may amend this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of the Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document.

200

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Debtors’ proposed plan of reorganization (“Proposed Plan”) provides for (in whole or in part) the refinancing of the Refinanced Loans and the Existing Obligations on the effective date of an Approved Plan of Reorganization in lieu of repayment in full in cash of the Refinanced Loans and the Existing Obligations, then, if such Proposed Plan has been accepted by a class consisting solely of the Existing Lenders, then the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the Refinanced Loans (the “Required Refinanced Lenders”) may (without the consent of any other Refinanced Lenders or the Agent) agree on behalf of all Refinanced Lenders that the full amount of the Refinanced Loans will not be required to be repaid in cash on the Maturity Date, but instead shall be treated in any manner approved by the Required Refinanced Lenders. No amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all Refinanced Lenders, amend this clause (c) or change the definition of the term Required Refinanced Lenders or the percentage of Refinanced Lenders which shall be required for Refinanced Lenders to take any action hereunder, in each case without the consent of all Refinanced Lenders.

Section 12.03 Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel and other outside consultants for the Agent, the reasonable travel, photocopy, mailing, courier, telephone and other similar expenses and, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration (both before and after the execution hereof and including advice of counsel to the Agent as to the rights and duties of the Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of or consents related to the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all out-of-pocket costs, expenses, Taxes, assessments and other charges incurred by any Agent or any Lender in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by this Agreement or any Security Instrument or any other document referred to therein, (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or any demand for payment thereunder, (iv) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including its rights under this Section 12.03, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including, without limitation, all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, and (v) all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, charges and expenses of one special bankruptcy counsel for each Secured Swap Party in connection with the structuring and preparation of any Secured Swap Agreement to be entered into after the Petition Date.

202

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to any Agent, the Arranger or any Issuing Bank under Section 12.03(a) or (b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent, the Arranger or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent, the Arranger or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such.

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 (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 12.04(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 12.04(b)(ii), any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Agent, provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender, immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) Subject to clause (C) below, except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, as applicable, the amount of the Commitment or Loans, as applicable, 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 Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or a lesser amount if the assigning Lender’s outstanding Commitment or Loans, as applicable, amounts to less than $5,000,000);

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) each assignment of any Lender’s Commitment and/or New Money Loan (including any portion thereof) shall include an assignment in the same proportion of such Lenders’ Refinanced Loans;

(iii) Subject to Section 12.04(b)(iv) and the acceptance and recording thereof, and except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.04 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 Section 12.04(c).

(iv) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices 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 amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In connection with any changes to the Register, if necessary, the Agent will reflect the revisions on Annex I and forward a copy of such revised Annex I to the Borrower, each Issuing Bank and each Lender.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower the Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Agent, each Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this 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 that (1) increase the commitment of such Participant, (2) reduces or forgives any principal, interest or fees payable to such Participant, (3) extends the Maturity Date or the date of payment of interest or fees on the Loans or commitments with respect to such Participant, (4) release of all or substantially all of the value of the Loan Guarantee or Collateral, and (5) any adverse change to the superpriority status of the claims or liens on the Collateral. In addition such agreement must provide that the Participant be bound by the provisions of Section 12.03. Subject to Section 12.04(c)(ii) the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(b) (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.03(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.03(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or Section 5.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.03 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 5.03(e) 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”). Any such Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided that the applicable Lender shall have no obligation to show such Participant Register to the Borrower except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan, commitment, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the 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.

206

(d) 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 or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 12.04(d) shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 12.05 Survival; Revival; Reinstatement.

(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 and Article XI shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

(b) To the extent that any payments on the Obligations or proceeds of any collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Obligations so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Agent’s and the Lenders’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrower shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Agent and the Lenders to effect such reinstatement.

Section 12.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

207

(b) This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

(c) Except as provided in Section 6.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 12.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 12.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations (of whatsoever kind, including, without limitations Secured Swap Obligations) at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Debtor against any of and all the obligations of the Debtors owed to such Lender now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 12.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or its Affiliates may have.

Section 12.09 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW PERMITS ANY LENDER TO CONTRACT FOR, CHARGE, RECEIVE, RESERVE OR TAKE INTEREST AT THE RATE ALLOWED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE SUCH LENDER IS LOCATED. CHAPTER 346 OF THE TEXAS FINANCE CODE (WHICH REGULATES CERTAIN REVOLVING CREDIT LOAN ACCOUNTS AND REVOLVING TRI-PARTY ACCOUNTS) SHALL NOT APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES.

208

(b) THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE AGENT, ANY LENDER, THE ISSUING BANK, OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT AND IF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT DOES NOT HAVE (OR ABSTAINS FROM) JURISDICTION, THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS SITTING IN HOUSTON, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH COURTS.

(c) EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO IT AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 12.01 OR SUCH OTHER ADDRESS AS IS SPECIFIED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12.01 (OR ITS ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION), SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING.

Section 12.10 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 12.11 Confidentiality. The Agent, each other Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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 requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, 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 12.11, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Agreement relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.11 or (ii) becomes available to the Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 12.11, “Information” means all information received from the Debtors relating to any Debtor and its business, other than any such information that is available to the Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower, or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, 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 12.11 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.

210

Section 12.12 Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Notes, it is agreed as follows: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under any of the Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Notes shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower); and (b) in the event that the maturity of the Notes is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the stated term of the Loans evidenced by the Notes until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 12.12 and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.12. To the extent that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code is relevant for the purpose of determining the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to a Lender, such Lender elects to determine the applicable rate ceiling under such Chapter by the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect. Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code does not apply to the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Section 12.13 EXCULPATION PROVISIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT IT HAS A DUTY TO READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND AGREES THAT IT IS CHARGED WITH NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; THAT IT HAS IN FACT READ THIS AGREEMENT AND IS FULLY INFORMED AND HAS FULL NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EFFECTS OF THIS AGREEMENT; THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE THROUGHOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS PRECEDING ITS EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND HAS RECEIVED THE ADVICE OF ITS ATTORNEY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT CERTAIN OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS RESULT IN ONE PARTY ASSUMING THE LIABILITY INHERENT IN SOME ASPECTS OF THE TRANSACTION AND RELIEVING THE OTHER PARTY OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH LIABILITY. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY EXCULPATORY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ON THE BASIS THAT THE PARTY HAD NO NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH PROVISION OR THAT THE PROVISION IS NOT “CONSPICUOUS.”

211

Section 12.14 Collateral Matters; Secured Swap Agreements; Secured Cash Management Agreements. The benefit of the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to any Collateral securing the Obligations shall also extend to and be available to Secured Swap Parties and Secured Cash Management Providers, in each case on a pro rata basis in respect of Secured Swap Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations. In addition, it is understood and agreed that the benefit of the Security Instruments and the provisions of this Agreement relating to any Collateral securing the Obligations shall also extend to and be available to such Lenders or their Affiliates as provided herein and in the Security Instruments notwithstanding that any such Lender (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) is not a Lender hereunder. Except as set forth in Section 12.02(b), no Secured Swap Party that is no longer a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) nor any Secured Cash Management Provider shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document as a result of the existence of Secured Swap Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations. All Secured Cash Management Agreements are independent agreements governed by the terms thereof and will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms of the Loans created under this Agreement except as otherwise provided in such Secured Cash Management Agreements, and any payoff statement from any Lender relating to this Agreement shall not apply to Secured Cash Management Agreements, except as otherwise expressly provided in such payoff statement.

Section 12.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the agreement of the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue, amend, renew or extend Letters of Credit hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Borrower, and no other Person (including, without limitation, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, any obligor, contractor, subcontractor, supplier or materialsman) shall have any rights, claims, remedies or privileges hereunder or under any other Loan Document against the Agent, the other Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender for any reason whatsoever. There are no third party beneficiaries other than to the extent contemplated by the last sentence of Section 12.04(a).

Section 12.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

212

Section 12.17 Non-Fiduciary Status. The arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agent, the Arranger, and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent, the Arranger, and the Lenders, on the other hand. The Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. The Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; the Agent, the Arranger and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and neither the Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower, 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. The Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, and its Affiliates, and none of the Agent, the Arranger, or any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agent, the Arranger or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 12.18 Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any amendment, repayment, refinancing, incremental, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Agent and such Lender and such cashless settlement shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Loan Document or DIP Order that such payment be made “in dollars,” in “immediately available funds,” “in cash” or any other similar concept.

Section 12.19 Joinder of Subsidiaries. Upon the execution and delivery by a Subsidiary and the Agent of a Joinder Agreement, and delivery to the Agent of such other Security Instruments, documents and opinions with respect to such Subsidiary as may reasonably be requested by the Agent, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder, with the same force and effect as if originally named as such herein, and without the consent of any other party hereto. The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any Subsidiary as a party to this Agreement.

Section 12.20 [Reserved].

Section 12.21 [Reserved].

Section 12.22 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA 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 EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

213

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

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

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

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

Section 12.23 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 Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx 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):

(a) 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.

214

(b) As used in this Section 12.23, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

ARTICLE XIII

LOAN GUARANTEE

Section 13.01 Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties, the prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all reasonable costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses paid or incurred by the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, being collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided, that the guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor will not apply to any Secured Swap Obligation if and to the extent that it would be unlawful for such Subsidiary Guarantor to guarantee such Secured Swap Obligation under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s failure for any reason (and after giving effect to the guarantees by the other Guarantors of the Secured Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor) to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act at the time the guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes effective with respect to such Secured Swap Obligation. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guarantee apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

215

Section 13.02 Guarantee of Payment. This Loan Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor waives any right to require the Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Secured Party to xxx the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or to enforce its rights against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 13.03 No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guarantee.

(a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other right which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transaction.

(b) The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Secured Party with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

Section 13.04 Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party or any other Person. Each Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. The Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Guarantor under this Loan Guarantee except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

Section 13.05 Rights of Subrogation. No Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any Collateral, until the Borrower and the Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties.

Section 13.06 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guarantee with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders or the other Secured Parties are in possession of this Loan Guarantee. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Agent.

Section 13.07 Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guarantee, and agrees that none of the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

217

Section 13.08 Taxes. The provisions of Section 5.03 shall apply mutatis mutandis to all payments by the Guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 13.09 Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guarantee are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Loan Guarantee would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guarantee, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guarantee to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Guarantor nor any other Person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guarantee or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

Section 13.10 Contribution. In the event any Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guarantee or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guarantee, each other Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Applicable Share of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Section, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Share” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (a) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrower after the Interim Facility Effective Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (b) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Guarantors from the Borrower after the Interim Facility Effective Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guarantee from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of the Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

218

Section 13.11 Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender that:

(a) the representations and warranties set forth in Article VII as they relate to such Guarantor or to the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party are true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects after giving effect to such qualification), provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty to the Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this clause, be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor’s knowledge.

(b) on the date hereof, the correct legal name of such Guarantor, all names and trade names that such Guarantor has used in the last five (5) years, such Guarantor’s jurisdiction of organization and each jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor over the last five (5) years, organizational number, taxpayor identification number, and the location(s) of such Guarantor’s chief executive office or sole place of business over the last five years are specified on Schedule 13.11.

(c) the Borrower is a member of an affiliated group of companies that includes each Guarantor, and the Borrower and the other Guarantors are engaged in related businesses. Each Guarantor agrees that it shall benefit, directly or indirectly, from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and it has determined that this Loan Guarantee is necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion and attainment of the business of such Guarantor and the Borrower.

Section 13.12 Subordination of Indebtedness.

(a) Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and obligations of the Borrower or any other Guarantor to the Borrower or any other Guarantor, whether such debts and obligations now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligation of the debtor thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or obligations be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or obligations may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by. After and during the continuation of an Event of Default, no Guarantor shall receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from any other obligor in respect thereof any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.

219

(b) Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving any Guarantor, the Agent on behalf of the Agent and the Secured Parties shall have the right to prove their claim in any proceeding, so as to establish their rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian, dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Each Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to the Agent for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties for application against the Borrower Obligations as provided under Section 10.02(c) hereof. Should any Agent or Secured Party receive, for application upon the Guaranteed Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to any Guarantor, and which, as between such Guarantors, shall constitute a credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment in full in cash of the Borrower Obligations, the expiration of all Letters of Credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the termination of all of the Commitments, the intended recipient shall become subrogated to the rights of the Agent and the Secured Parties to the extent that such payments to the Agent and the Secured Parties on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if the Agent and the Secured Parties had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

(c) Payments Held in Trust. In the event that, notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, any Guarantor should receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions which is prohibited by such clauses, then it agrees: (i) to hold in trust for the Agent and the Secured Parties an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and (ii) that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions except to pay them promptly to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and each Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to the Agent.

(d) Liens Subordinate. Each Guarantor agrees that, until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the termination of all of the Commitments, any Liens securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any Liens securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of such Guarantor, the Agent or any Secured Party presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of the Agent, no Guarantor, during the period in which any of the Obligations are outstanding or the Commitments are in effect, shall (i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against any debtor in respect of the Guarantor Claims, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceeding (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of or joinder in any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any Lien securing payment of the Guarantor Claims held by it.

(e) Notation of Records. Upon the request of the Agent, all promissory notes and all accounts receivable ledgers or other evidence of the Guarantor Claims accepted by or held by any Guarantor shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinated under the terms of this Loan Guarantee.

220

Section 13.13 Other Terms.

(a) Notices. All notices and other communications to any Guarantor shall be given in the manner and subject to the terms of Section 12.01; provided that each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor by the Agent, the Lenders or any other Secured Party may be addressed the Borrower and any notice provided to the Borrower hereunder shall constitute notice to each Guarantor on the date received by the Borrower in accordance with Section 12.01.

(b) Indemnities, Etc.

(i) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all Other Taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Loan Guarantee.

(ii) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Loan Guarantee to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 12.03 hereof.

(i) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, including the Loan Guarantee and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

(ii) neither the Agent nor any Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Agent and Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(iii) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Guarantors and the Secured Parties.

221

(iv) each Guarantor specifically agrees that it has a duty to read this Agreement, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents and agrees that it is charged with notice and knowledge of the terms of this Agreement, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents; that it has in fact read this Agreement, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents and is fully informed and has full notice and knowledge of the terms, conditions and effects thereof; that it has been represented by independent legal counsel of its choice throughout the negotiations preceding its entry of this Agreement and the Security Instruments; and has received the advice of its attorney in entering into this Agreement and the Security Instruments; and that it recognizes that certain of the terms of this Agreement and the Security Instruments result in one party assuming the liability inherent in some aspects of the transaction and relieving the other party of its responsibility for such liability. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY EXCULPATORY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SECURITY INSTRUMENTS ON THE BASIS THAT THE PARTY HAD NO NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH PROVISION OR THAT THE PROVISION IS NOT “CONSPICUOUS.”

246

I. Findings Regarding the DIP Facility.

(i) Need for Postpetition Financing. The Debtors have an immediate need to obtain the DIP Loans and use Cash Collateral to, among other things, permit the orderly continuation of the operation of their business, to maintain business relationships with vendors, suppliers, and customers, to make payroll, to make capital expenditures, to satisfy other working capital and general corporate purposes of the Debtors (including fees and expenses related to the Cases), to refinance the Refinance Loans, and to otherwise preserve the value of the Debtors’ estates. The Debtors’ access to sufficient working capital and liquidity through the use of Cash Collateral and borrowing under the DIP Facility is vital to a successful reorganization and/or to otherwise preserve the enterprise value of the Debtors’ estates. Immediate and irreparable harm will be caused to the Debtors and their estates if immediate financing is not obtained and permission to use Cash Collateral is not granted, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Interim Order (including the DIP Budget) and the DIP Loan Documents.

(ii) No Credit Available on More Favorable Terms. The Debtors have been and continue to be unable to obtain financing on more favorable terms from sources other than the DIP Secured Parties under the DIP Loan Documents and this Interim Order. The Debtors are unable to obtain unsecured credit allowable under section 503(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code as an administrative expense or secured credit allowable only under sections 364(c)(1), 364(c)(2), or 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors are unable to obtain secured credit under section 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code without (a) granting to the DIP Secured Parties the rights, remedies, privileges, benefits, and protections provided herein and in the DIP Loan Documents, including the DIP Liens and the DIP Superpriority Claims (as defined below), (b) allowing the DIP Secured Parties to provide the loans, letters of credit, and other financial accommodations under the DIP Facility (including, subject to entry of the Final Order, the completion of the Refinancing) on the terms set forth herein and in the DIP Loan Documents, (c) granting to the Existing RBL Secured Parties the rights, remedies, privileges, benefits, and protections provided herein and in the DIP Loan Documents, including the Existing RBL Adequate Protection and the conversion of certain Existing RBL Obligations into DIP Obligations through the Refinancing, and (d) granting to the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties the rights, remedies, privileges, benefits, and protections provided herein, including the Existing Second Lien Adequate Protection (all of the foregoing described in clauses (a), (b), (c), and (d) above, collectively, the “DIP Protections”).

247

(iii) Entering into the Refinancing Facility is appropriate because (i) the aggregate value of the Existing RBL Collateral securing the Existing RBL Obligations substantially exceeds the aggregate amount of the Refinanced Loans; (ii) the Refinancing of the Existing RBL Loans into the Refinanced Loans will provide the Debtors significant savings on account of interest that otherwise would or could accrue on the Existing RBL Loans at the rate applicable thereunder during the course of these Cases; and (iii) the Existing RBL Lenders would not otherwise consent to the use of their Cash Collateral or the subordination of their liens to the DIP Liens, and the DIP Agent and the Refinancing DIP Lenders would not be willing to provide the New Money Facility or extend credit to the Debtors thereunder without the inclusion of the Refinancing Facility within the DIP Facility.

(iv) The terms of the DIP Loans pursuant to the DIP Loan Documents and the use of the Existing Collateral (including the Cash Collateral) pursuant to this Order are fair and reasonable, reflect the Debtors’ exercise of prudent business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties and constitute reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration.

J. Interim Financing. During the Interim Period (as defined below), the DIP Secured Parties and, as applicable, the Existing RBL Secured Parties and the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties (together, the “Existing Secured Parties”) are willing to provide financing to the Debtors and/or consent, or be deemed to consent, to the use of Cash Collateral by the Debtors, subject to (i) the entry of this Interim Order and (ii) the terms and conditions of the DIP Loan Documents.

248

K. Adequate Protection for Existing Secured Parties. The Existing Secured Parties have agreed to permit the Debtors’ continued use of the Existing RBL Collateral and the Existing Second Lien Collateral, including the Cash Collateral, during the Interim Period, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including the protections afforded a party acting in “good faith” under section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, the DIP Facility contemplated hereby provides for a priming of the Existing Prior Liens pursuant to section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Existing Secured Parties are entitled to the adequate protection as set forth herein, including pursuant to section 361, 362, 363, and 364 of the Bankruptcy Code. Based on the DIP Motion and on the record presented to this Court at the Interim Hearing, the terms of the proposed adequate protection arrangements, use of the Cash Collateral, and the DIP Facility contemplated hereby are fair and reasonable, reflect the Debtors’ prudent exercise of business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties, and constitute reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the consent of the Existing Secured Parties. The Existing RBL Secured Parties and the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties consent to, or are deemed to consent to, or if not either of the foregoing, the Court hereby approves the relief set forth herein over the absence of such consent or lack thereof, pursuant to the Existing Secured Loan Documents, and, in any event, the prepetition Liens and security interests of such parties are adequately protected pursuant to the terms of this Interim Order. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Existing Secured Parties’ consent to the DIP Facility and to the priming of the Existing RBL Liens and the Existing Second Liens by the DIP Liens is expressly limited to the present DIP Facility and the DIP Liens securing same and shall not be applicable to any other debtor-in-possession credit facility, even if it contains substantially the same economic terms as this DIP Facility.

249

L. Section 552. In light of the subordination of their Liens and superpriority administrative claims to (i) the Carve-Out, in the case of the DIP Secured Parties, and (ii) the Carve-Out and the DIP Liens, in the case of the Existing RBL Secured Parties, each of the DIP Secured Parties and the Existing Secured Parties is entitled to all of the rights and benefits of section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and, subject to the entry of the Final Order, the “equities of the case” exception shall not apply.

M. Business Judgment and Good Faith Pursuant to Section 364(e).

(i) The DIP Secured Parties have indicated a willingness to provide postpetition secured financing, and related hedging, via the DIP Facility to the Debtors in accordance with the DIP Loan Documents, the Secured Swap Agreements, and this Interim Order.

(ii) The terms and conditions of the DIP Facility (including the Refinancing) as set forth in the DIP Loan Documents and this Interim Order, and the fees, expenses, and other charges paid and to be paid thereunder or in connection therewith, are fair, reasonable, and the best available under the circumstances, and the Debtors’ agreement to the terms and conditions of the DIP Loan Documents and the Secured Swap Agreements and to the payment of such fees reflect the Debtors’ exercise of prudent business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties. Such terms and conditions are supported by reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration.

250

(iii) The DIP Secured Parties, the Existing RBL Secured Parties, the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties and the Debtors, with the assistance and counsel of their respective advisors, have acted in good faith and at arm’s-length in, as applicable, negotiating, consenting to, and/or agreeing to, the DIP Facility (including the Refinancing), the Debtors’ use of the DIP Collateral, the Existing RBL Collateral, the Existing Second Lien Collateral (including Cash Collateral), the DIP Loan Documents, and the DIP Protections (including the Existing RBL Adequate Protection and the Existing Second Lien Adequate Protection). The DIP Obligations (including all advances that are made at any time to the Debtors under the DIP Loan Documents and including the Refinanced Loans) and the Debtors’ use of the DIP Collateral, the Existing RBL Collateral, and the Existing Second Lien Collateral (including Cash Collateral) shall be deemed to have been extended and/or consented to by the DIP Secured Parties, the Existing RBL Secured Parties, and the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties for valid business purposes and uses and in good faith, as that term is used in section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and in express and good faith reliance upon the protections offered by section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and this Interim Order, and, accordingly, the DIP Liens, the DIP Superpriority Claims, the Existing RBL Adequate Protection, Existing Second Lien Adequate Protection and the other DIP Protections shall be entitled to the full protection of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code in the event this Interim Order or any provision hereof or thereof is vacated, reversed, amended, or modified on appeal or otherwise.

N. Relief Essential; Best Interest. The Debtors have requested immediate entry of this Interim Order pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 4001(b)(2) and 4001(c)(2) and the Local Rules. Absent granting the relief set forth in this Interim Order, the Debtors’ estates, their businesses and properties, and their ability to successfully reorganize or otherwise preserve the enterprise value of the Debtors’ estates will be immediately and irreparably harmed. Consummation of the DIP Facility and authorization of the use of Cash Collateral in accordance with this Interim Order, the DIP Loan Documents and the Secured Swap Agreements is therefore in the best interests of the Debtors’ estates and consistent with their fiduciary duties.

Subject to paragraph 23(b) herein, as further adequate protection, and without limiting any rights of the Existing RBL Agent and the other Existing RBL Secured Parties under section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, which rights are hereby preserved, and in consideration, and as a requirement, for obtaining the consent of those Existing RBL Secured Parties that have so consented to the entry of this Interim Order and the Debtors’ consensual use of Cash Collateral as provided herein, the Debtors shall pay or reimburse in cash the Existing RBL Secured Parties for any and all reasonable and documented fees, expenses, and charges to the extent, and at the times, payable under the Existing RBL Loan Documents, including any unpaid fees and expenses accrued prior to or after the Petition Date within five (5) Business Days after the presentment of any such invoices to the Debtors.

(f) The Debtors shall deliver to the Existing RBL Agent and Existing Required Second Lien Lenders all information, reports, documents, and other material that the Debtors provide to the DIP Secured Parties pursuant to the DIP Loan Documents.

268

(g) Notwithstanding the Payment in Full of the DIP Obligations and the termination of the DIP Loan Documents, this Interim Order or Final Order, as applicable, shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Existing RBL Agent and the Existing RBL Secured Parties, and may be enforced by the Existing RBL Agent until such time as the Existing RBL Secured Obligations are Paid in Full. Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein or in the DIP Loan Documents, any consent or approval rights or similar rights granted or referenced in this Interim Order or in the DIP Loan Documents in favor of any or all of the DIP Agent, the other DIP Secured Parties, the Existing RBL Agent, and the other Existing RBL Secured Parties may be exercised (or not exercised) in the sole discretion of such party.

The Existing RBL Agent, on behalf of the Existing RBL Secured Parties, may request Court approval for additional or alternative adequate protection, without prejudice to any objection of the Debtors or any other party in interest to the grant of any additional or alternative adequate protection (consistent with the Intercreditor Agreement); provided, that any such additional or alternative adequate protection shall at all times be subordinate and junior to the Carve-Out and the claims and liens of the DIP Secured Parties granted under this Interim Order and the DIP Loan Documents; provided, further, that nothing in this paragraph shall authorize the Existing RBL Agent or Existing RBL Secured Parties to deny the Debtors access to Cash Collateral or DIP Loans in accordance with the DIP Budget (including any Permitted Variances) pursuant to the terms of this Interim Order during the pendency of such request for additional or alternative adequate protection.

4. Adequate Protection for Existing Second Lien Secured Parties. In consideration for the use of the Existing Second Lien Collateral (including Cash Collateral) and the priming of the Existing Second Liens, the Existing Second Lien Agent, for the benefit of the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties, shall receive, subject to the Carve-Out and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the following adequate protection (collectively, the “Existing Second Lien Adequate Protection” and, together with the Existing RBL Adequate Protection, the “Existing Secured Party Adequate Protection”):

269

(a) Second Lien Adequate Protection Liens. To the extent there is a diminution in value of the interests of the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties in the Existing Second Lien Collateral (including Cash Collateral) from and after the Petition Date, the Existing Second Lien Agent, for the benefit of all the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties, is hereby granted, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, pursuant to section 361, 363(e), and 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, replacement Liens upon all of the DIP Collateral, including, subject to the entry of the Final Order, the proceeds of Avoidance Actions, whether received by judgment, settlement, or otherwise (such adequate protection replacement Liens, the “Second Lien Adequate Protection Liens” and, together with the Existing RBL Adequate Protection Liens, the “Adequate Protection Liens”), which Second Lien Adequate Protection Liens on such DIP Collateral shall be subject and subordinate only to the DIP Liens, the Existing Prior Liens, the Existing RBL Adequate Protection Liens, the Existing RBL Liens, and the Carve-Out; provided that, the Adequate Protection Liens shall attach automatically to DIP Collateral upon entry of this Interim Order. The Second Lien Adequate Protection Liens (i) shall not be subject to sections 510, 549, 550, or 551 of the Bankruptcy Code or, subject to entry of the Final Order, section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or the “equities of the case” exception of section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) shall not be subordinate to, or pari passu with (A) any Lien that is avoided and preserved for the benefit of the Debtors and their estates under section 551 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise or (B) any Liens or claims of any Debtor or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof against any Debtor or any of such Debtor’s property, (iii) shall be valid, binding, perfected, and enforceable against any trustee or any other estate representative elected or appointed in the Cases or any Successor Cases, and/or upon the dismissal of any of the Cases, and (iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any First Day Order of this Court in any of the Cases, shall be senior to any administrative claims arising under any such First Day Order. For the avoidance of doubt, the Second Lien Adequate Protection Liens shall at all times remain subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.

270

(b) Enforceable in Successor Cases. The Second Lien Adequate Protection Liens shall be valid, binding, perfected, and enforceable against any trustee or any other estate representative elected or appointed in the Cases or any Successor Cases, and/or upon the dismissal of any of the Cases. For the avoidance of doubt, the Second Lien Adequate Protection Liens shall at all times remain subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) Second Lien Adequate Protection Superpriority Claims. To the extent of Diminution in Existing Second Lien Collateral Value, the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties are hereby further granted allowed superpriority administrative claims (such adequate protection superpriority claims, the “Second Lien Adequate Protection Superpriority Claims”), pursuant to section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, with priority over all administrative expense claims and priority and other unsecured claims against the Debtors or their estates, now existing or hereafter arising, of any kind or nature whatsoever, including administrative expenses of the kind specified in section 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(a), 503(b), 506(c) (subject to the entry of the Final Order to the extent provided in paragraph 8), 507(a), 507(b), 546(c), 546(d), 726 , 1113, 1114, junior only to the DIP Superpriority Claims, the Existing RBL Adequate Protection Superpriority Claims, and the Carve-Out to the extent provided herein, and payable from and having recourse to all prepetition and postpetition property of the Debtors and all proceeds thereof (including, subject to the entry of the Final Order, the proceeds of Avoidance Actions, whether received by judgment, settlement, or otherwise); provided, that the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties shall not receive or retain any payments, property, or other amounts in respect of the Second Lien Adequate Protection Superpriority Claims unless and until all DIP Obligations, Existing RBL Obligations, and the Existing RBL Adequate Protection Superpriority Claims have been Paid in Full. Subject to the relative priorities set forth above, the Second Lien Adequate Protection Superpriority Claims against each Debtor shall be allowed and enforceable against each Debtor and its estate on a joint and several basis. The Second Lien Adequate Protection Superpriority Claims granted to the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties may be impaired pursuant to any chapter 11 plan of reorganization in the Cases with the vote of the applicable class of the holders of such claims that satisfies the requirements of section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, in which case, Payment in Full (or any of the other variants of this phrase referenced above) would occur upon consummation of such plan.

271

(d) Postpetition Accrual of Interest. Subject to the terms of this Interim Order and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Existing Second Lien Obligations shall accrue interest under the Existing Second Lien Credit Facility on a payment-in-kind basis to the extent determined to be allowable by the Bankruptcy Court under section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(e) Consent to Priming and Adequate Protection. The Existing Second Lien Agent, on behalf of the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties, consents, or pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, is deemed to consent, to the Existing Second Lien Adequate Protection and the priming provided for herein; provided, that such consent of the Existing Second Lien Agent to the priming of the Existing Second Liens and the use of Cash Collateral is expressly conditioned upon the entry of this Interim Order.

272

(f) Professional Fees of Existing Second Lien Secured Parties. Subject to paragraph 23(b) hereof and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, as further adequate protection, and without limiting any rights of the Existing Second Lien Agent and the other Existing Second Lien Secured Parties, which rights are hereby preserved, and in consideration, and as a requirement, for obtaining the consent of those Existing Second Lien Secured Parties that have so consented to the entry of this Interim Order and the Debtors’ consensual use of Cash Collateral as provided herein, the Debtors shall pay or reimburse in cash the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties for any and all reasonable and documented fees and expenses (including, without limitation, those of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, PJT Partners, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx as local counsel) to the extent, and at the times, payable under the Existing Second Lien Loan Documents, including any unpaid fees and expenses accrued prior to or after the Petition Date within five (5) Business Days after the presentment of any such invoices to the Debtors.

(g) The Debtors shall deliver to the Existing Required Second Lien Lenders all information, reports, documents, and other material that the Debtors provide to the DIP Secured Parties and the Existing RBL Agent pursuant to the DIP Loan Documents.

273

5. Automatic Postpetition Lien Perfection. This Interim Order shall be sufficient and conclusive evidence of the validity, enforceability, perfection, and priority of the DIP Liens and the Adequate Protection Liens without the necessity of (a) filing or recording any financing statement, deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge agreement, control agreement, or other instrument or document that may otherwise be required under the law of any jurisdiction, (b) obtaining “control” (as defined in any applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other law) over any DIP Collateral (and the DIP Agent, and, after Payment in Full of the DIP Obligations, the Existing RBL Agent, shall be deemed, without any further action, to have control over all the Debtors’ deposit accounts, securities accounts, and commodities accounts within the meaning of such Uniform Commercial Code and other law), or (c) taking any other action to validate or perfect the DIP Liens and the Adequate Protection Liens or to entitle the DIP Liens and the Adequate Protection Liens to the priorities granted herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the DIP Agent, the Existing RBL Agent (solely with respect to the Existing RBL Adequate Protection Liens), and the Existing Second Lien Agent (solely with respect to the Existing Second Lien Adequate Protection Liens) may, each in their sole discretion, enter into and file, as applicable, financing statements, mortgages, security agreements, notices of Liens, and other similar documents, and is hereby granted relief from the automatic stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code in order to do so, and all such financing statements, mortgages, security agreements, notices, and other agreements or documents shall be deemed to have been entered into, filed, or recorded as of the Petition Date. The applicable Debtors shall execute and deliver to the DIP Agent, the Existing RBL Agent and/or the Existing Second Lien Agent, as applicable, all such financing statements, mortgages, notices, and other documents as such parties may reasonably request to evidence and confirm the contemplated validity, perfection, and priority of the DIP Liens, the Existing RBL Adequate Protection Liens, and the Second Lien Adequate Protection Liens as applicable, granted pursuant hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the DIP Agent, the Existing RBL Agent, and the Existing Second Lien Agent may, in its discretion, file a photocopy of this Interim Order as a financing statement with any recording officer designated to file financing statements or with any registry of deeds or similar office in any jurisdiction in which any Debtor has real or personal property, and in such event, the subject filing or recording officer shall be authorized and hereby is directed to file or record such copy of this Interim Order. Subject to the entry of the Final Order, any provision of any lease, loan document, easement, use agreement, proffer, covenant, license, contract, organizational document, or other instrument or agreement that requires the payment of any fees or other monetary obligations to any governmental entity or non-governmental entity in order for the Debtors to pledge, grant, mortgage, sell, assign, or otherwise transfer any fee or leasehold interest or the proceeds thereof or other DIP Collateral is and shall be deemed to be inconsistent with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall have no force or effect with respect to the Liens on such leasehold interests or other applicable DIP Collateral or the proceeds of any assignment and/or sale thereof by any Debtor, in favor of the DIP Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of the DIP Loan Documents and this Interim Order or in favor of the Existing Secured Parties in accordance with this Interim Order. To the extent that the Existing RBL Agent is the secured party under any security agreement, mortgage, leasehold mortgage, landlord waiver, financing statement, or account control agreements, listed as loss payee or additional insured under any of the Debtors’ insurance policies, or is the secured party under any of the Existing RBL Loan Documents, the DIP Agent shall also be deemed to be the secured party under such account control agreements, loss payee or additional insured under the Debtors’ insurance policies, and the secured party under each such Existing RBL Loan Document, shall have all rights and powers attendant to that position (including rights of enforcement), and shall act in that capacity and distribute any proceeds recovered or received first, for the benefit of the DIP Secured Parties in accordance with the DIP Loan Documents and second, subsequent to Payment in Full of all DIP Obligations, for the benefit of the Existing RBL Secured Parties. The Existing RBL Agent shall serve as agent for the DIP Agent for purposes of perfecting the DIP Agent’s Liens on all DIP Collateral that, without giving effect to the Bankruptcy Code and this Interim Order, is of a type such that perfection of a Lien therein may be accomplished only by possession or control by a secured party.

274

6. Reservation of Certain Third Party Rights and Bar of Challenges and Claims. The Debtors’ DIP Stipulations shall be binding upon the Debtors, their estates, and each other party in interest, including the Committee, in all circumstances upon entry of this Interim Order. The Debtors’ Existing RBL Stipulations and the Debtors’ Existing Second Lien Stipulations shall be binding upon each party in interest (other than the Debtors), including the Committee, if any, and any chapter 11 trustee (or if the Cases are converted to cases under chapter 7 prior to the expiration of the Challenge Period (as defined below), the chapter 7 trustee in such Successor Case), except to the extent and only to the extent such party in interest with standing first, commences, by the earlier of (x) forty-five (45) calendar days after the Petition Date, (y) with respect to any Committee, within the earlier of (i) sixty (60) calendar days of the formation of any Committee and (ii) seventy-five (75) days from the Petition Date, which in each case shall be referred to as the “Challenge Period,” and the date that is the next calendar day after the termination of the Challenge Period in the event that either (i) no Challenge (as defined below) is properly raised during the Challenge Period or (ii) with respect only to those parties who properly file a Challenge, such Challenge is fully and finally adjudicated, shall be referred to as the “Challenge Period Termination Date”), (A) a contested matter or adversary proceeding challenging or otherwise objecting to the admissions, stipulations, findings, or releases included in the Debtors’ Existing RBL Stipulations and/or the Debtors’ Existing Second Lien Stipulations, as applicable, or (B) a contested matter or adversary proceeding against any or all of the Existing RBL Secured Parties and/or the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties, as applicable, in connection with or related to the Existing RBL Obligations and/or the Existing Second Lien Obligations, as applicable, or the actions or inactions of any of the Existing RBL Secured Parties and/or the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties, as applicable, arising out of or related to the Existing RBL Obligations and/or the Existing Second Lien Obligations, as applicable, the Existing RBL Loan Documents and/or the Existing Second Lien Loan Documents, as applicable, including any claim against any or all of the Existing RBL Secured Parties and/or the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties, as applicable, in the nature of a “lender liability” cause of action, setoff, counterclaim, or defense to the Existing RBL Obligations and/or the Existing Second Lien Obligations, as applicable (including those under section 506, 544, 547, 548, 549, 550, and/or 552 of the Bankruptcy Code or by way of suit against any of the Existing RBL Secured Parties and/or any of the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties, as applicable) (clauses (A) and (B) collectively, the “Challenges” and, each individually, a “Challenge”), and second, obtains a final, non-appealable order in favor of such party in interest sustaining any such Challenge in any such timely-filed contested matter, adversary proceeding, or other action (any such Challenge timely brought for which such a final and non-appealable order is so obtained, a “Successful Challenge”). If a chapter 7 trustee or a chapter 11 trustee is appointed or elected during the Challenge Period, then the Challenge Period Termination Date with respect to such trustee only, shall be the later of (i) the last day of the Challenge Period and (ii) the date that is twenty (20) days after the date on which such trustee is appointed or elected. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, from and after the Challenge Period Termination Date and for all purposes in these Cases and any Successor Cases (and after the dismissal of these Cases or any Successor Cases), (i) all payments made to or for the benefit of the Existing RBL Secured Parties and/or the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties, as applicable, pursuant to, or otherwise authorized by, this Interim Order (whether made prior to, on, or after the Petition Date) shall be indefeasible and not be subject to counterclaim, set-off, subordination, recharacterization, defense, disallowance, recovery, or avoidance, (ii) any and all such Challenges by any party in interest shall be deemed to be forever released, waived, and barred, (iii) all of the Existing RBL Obligations and/or the Existing Second Lien Obligations, as applicable, shall be deemed to be fully allowed claims within the meaning of section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code (which claims and Liens shall have been deemed satisfied to the extent the Existing RBL Obligations are converted into Refinancing DIP Obligations as provided herein), and (iv) the Debtors’ Existing RBL Stipulations and/or the Debtors’ Existing Second Lien Stipulations, as applicable, including the release provisions therein, shall be binding on all parties in interest in these Cases or any Successor Cases, including any Committee or chapter 11 or chapter 7 trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Challenge is timely asserted, the Debtors’ Existing RBL Stipulations and/or the Debtors’ Existing Second Lien Stipulations, as applicable, and the other provisions in clauses (i) through (iv) in the immediately preceding sentence shall nonetheless remain binding and preclusive on any Committee and on any other party in interest from and after the Challenge Period Termination Date, except to the extent that such Debtors’ Existing RBL Stipulations and/or the Debtors’ Existing Second Lien Stipulations, as applicable, or the other provisions in clauses (i) through (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence were expressly challenged in such Challenge and such Challenge becomes a Successful Challenge. The Challenge Period may be extended only with the written consent of the Existing RBL Agent in its sole discretion with respect to Challenges made in connection with the Existing RBL Obligations, and only with the written consent of the Existing Second Lien Agent in its sole discretion (at the direction of the Existing Second Lien Lenders in accordance with the Existing Second Lien Credit Agreement) with respect to Challenges made in connection with the Existing Second Lien Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, nothing in this Interim Order shall be construed to grant standing on or authority to any party in interest, including any Committee, to pursue or bring any cause of action, including any Challenge, on behalf of the Debtors or their Debtors’ estates. The failure of any party in interest, including any Committee, to obtain an order of this Court prior to the Challenge Period Termination Date granting standing to bring any Challenge on behalf of the Debtors’ estates shall not be a defense to failing to commence a Challenge prior to the Challenge Period Termination Date as required under this paragraph 6 or to require or permit an extension of the Challenge Period Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, as to the Debtors, upon entry of this Interim Order, all Challenges, and any right to assert any Challenge, are hereby irrevocably waived and relinquished as of the Petition Date, and the Debtors’ Existing RBL Stipulations and/or the Debtors’ Existing Second Lien Stipulations, as applicable, shall be binding in all respects on the Debtors irrespective of the filing of any Challenge.

275

7. Carve-Out.

(a) Carve-Out. As used in this Interim Order, the “Carve-Out” means the sum of (i) all fees required to be paid to the Clerk of the Court and to the Office of the United States Trustee under section 1930(a) of title 28 of the United States Code plus interest at the statutory rate (without regard to the notice set forth in (iii) below); (ii) all reasonable fees and expenses up to $50,000 incurred by a trustee under section 726(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (without regard to the notice set forth in (iii) below); (iii) to the extent allowed at any time, whether by interim order, procedural order, or otherwise, all unpaid fees and expenses (the “Allowed Professional Fees”) incurred or accrued by persons or firms retained by the Debtors pursuant to section 327, 328, or 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Debtor Professionals”) and any Committee pursuant to section 328 or 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Committee Professionals” and, together with the Debtor Professionals, the “Professional Persons”) at any time before or on the first business day following the day on which a Carve-Out Trigger Notice (as defined below) is given by the DIP Agent to the Debtors with a copy to counsel to the Committee (the day on which a Carve-Out Trigger Notice is so given, the “Trigger Notice Date”); and (iv) Allowed Professional Fees of Professional Persons in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2,750,000 incurred after the first business day following the Trigger Notice Date, to the extent allowed at any time, whether by interim order, procedural order, or otherwise (the amount set forth in this clause (iv) being the “Carve-Out Cap”). Such Carve-Out Cap may be incurred on behalf of the Debtor Professionals in an amount not to exceed $2,500,000 and on behalf of any Committee Professionals in an amount not to exceed $250,000 (other than any such fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the initiation or prosecution of any claims, causes of action, adversary proceedings or other litigation against the agents or lenders under the Existing RBL Credit Facility, the Existing Second Lien Credit Facility, or the DIP Facility). For purposes of the foregoing, “Carve-Out Trigger Notice” shall mean a written notice delivered by the DIP Agent to the Debtors and their counsel, the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties and their counsel, the U.S. Trustee, and lead counsel to any Committee, which notice may be delivered following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) expressly stating that the Carve-Out Cap is invoked. No portion of the Carve-Out, any cash collateral or proceeds of the DIP Facility may be used for or in connection with (i) preventing, hindering or delaying the DIP Agent’s or other DIP Secured Parties’ enforcement or realization upon the DIP Collateral once an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) using or seeking to use Cash Collateral or selling or otherwise disposing of the DIP Collateral without the consent of the Required DIP Lenders (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), (iii) using or seeking to use any insurance proceeds related to the DIP Collateral without the consent of the DIP Agent or (iv) incurring indebtedness other than the DIP Facility or in accordance with the DIP Budget; provided, that, the Debtors shall be permitted to use the proceeds of the DIP Facility or Cash Collateral as necessary to contest an Event of Default alleged by the DIP Agent or any DIP Lender; and provided, further that a Committee may incur up to $50,000 in the aggregate in investigating the Existing RBL Credit Facility, Existing RBL Liens, Existing Second Lien Credit Facility or Existing Second Liens to the extent such Committee brings any Challenge before the Challenge Period Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of the any party’s right to object to any fees of the Professional Persons.

276

(b) Payment of Allowed Professional Fees Prior to Trigger Notice Date. Any payment or reimbursement made prior to the occurrence of the Trigger Notice Date in respect of any Allowed Professional Fees shall not reduce the Carve-Out. Prior to the occurrence of the Trigger Notice Date, the Debtors shall be permitted to pay allowed fees and expenses of the Debtor Professionals and the Committee Professionals subject to this Interim Order, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and any interim compensation procedures order entered by this Court.

(c) No Direct Obligation to Pay Professional Fees; No Waiver of Right to Object to Fees. None of the DIP Secured Parties, the Existing RBL Secured Parties, or the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties shall be responsible for the payment or reimbursement of any fees or disbursements of any Professional Person incurred in connection with the Cases or any successor cases under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code. Nothing in this Interim Order or otherwise shall be construed to obligate any DIP Secured Party, any Existing RBL Secured Party, or any Existing Second Lien Secured Party in any way, to pay compensation to, or to reimburse expenses of, any Professional Person or to guarantee that the Debtors have sufficient funds to pay such compensation or reimbursement. Nothing herein shall be construed as consent to the allowance of any professional fees or expenses of any of the Debtors, the Committee, any other official or unofficial committee in these Cases or any Successor Cases, or of any person or entity, or shall affect the right of any party to object to the allowance and payment of any such fees and expenses.

277

(d) Funding of Carve-Out a DIP Obligation. Any funding of the Carve-Out shall be added to, and made a part of, the DIP Obligations secured by the DIP Collateral and shall be otherwise entitled to the protections granted under this Interim Order, the DIP Loan Documents, the Bankruptcy Code, and applicable law.

8. Waiver of 506(c) Claims. Subject to the entry of the Final Order, as a further condition of (i) the DIP Facility and any obligation of the DIP Secured Parties to make credit extensions pursuant to the DIP Loan Documents (and the consent of the DIP Secured Parties and the Existing Secured Parties to the payment of the Carve-Out to the extent provided herein) and (ii) the Debtors’ use of Cash Collateral pursuant to this Interim Order and a Final Order, (a) no costs or expenses of administration of the Cases or any Successor Cases shall be charged against or recovered from or against any or all of the DIP Secured Parties and/or the Existing Secured Parties, the Existing Collateral, the DIP Collateral, and the Cash Collateral, in each case pursuant to section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the DIP Agent, the Existing RBL Agent, and the Existing Required Second Lien Lenders, (b) no such consent shall be implied from any other action, inaction, or acquiescence of any or all of the DIP Secured Parties and the Existing Secured Parties, and (c) the exercise prior to the entry of the Final Order of any rights under section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise to charge any costs or expense of administration of the Cases or any Successor Cases from or against the Existing RBL Secured Parties or their Existing RBL Liens on or other interests in any or all of the DIP Collateral, the Existing RBL Collateral, and the Cash Collateral, or the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties or their Existing Second Liens on or other interests in any or all of the DIP Collateral, the Existing Second Lien Collateral, and the Cash Collateral, shall not impair and shall be subject to, and junior to, the DIP Liens on and the DIP Secured Parties’ other interests in the DIP Collateral, the Existing Collateral, and the Cash Collateral and the other DIP Protections accorded the DIP Secured Parties.

278

9. After-Acquired Property. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Interim Order, pursuant to section 552(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, all property acquired by the Debtors on or after the Petition Date is not, and shall not be, subject to any Lien of any person or entity resulting from any security agreement entered into by the Debtors prior to the Petition Date, except to the extent that such property constitutes proceeds of property of the Debtors that is subject to a valid, enforceable, perfected, and unavoidable Lien as of the Petition Date (or a valid, enforceable, and unavoidable Lien that is perfected subsequent to the Petition Date solely to the extent permitted by section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code) that is not subject to subordination or avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code or other provisions or principles of applicable law. If the Debtors engage in any “land swap” transactions, the DIP Liens, Existing RBL Liens, Existing RBL Adequate Protection Liens, Existing Second Liens, and Second Lien Adequate Protection Liens shall attach to assets acquired in such “land swap” transactions as proceeds of property subject to such Liens.

279

10. Protection of DIP Secured Parties’ and Existing RBL Secured Parties’ Rights.

Unless the requisite DIP Secured Parties under the DIP Loan Documents and the Secured Swap Agreements and the requisite Existing RBL Secured Parties under the Existing RBL Loan Documents shall have provided their prior written consent or all DIP Obligations and Existing RBL Obligations have been Paid in Full, there shall not be entered in any of these Cases or any Successor Cases any order (including any order confirming any plan of reorganization or liquidation) that authorizes any of the following: (i) the obtaining of credit or the incurring of indebtedness that is secured by a security, mortgage, or collateral interest or other Lien on all or any portion of the DIP Collateral or Existing RBL Collateral and/or that is entitled to administrative priority status, other than the Carve-Out, in each case that is superior to or pari passu with the DIP Liens, the DIP Superpriority Claims, the Existing RBL Liens, the Existing Prior Liens, the Existing RBL Adequate Protection Liens, the Existing RBL Adequate Protection Superpriority Claims, and/or the other DIP Protections; (ii) the use of Cash Collateral for any purpose other than to Pay in Full the DIP Obligations and the Existing RBL Obligations or as otherwise permitted in the DIP Loan Documents and this Interim Order, (iii) the return of goods pursuant to section 546(h) of the Bankruptcy Code (or other return of goods on account of any prepetition indebtedness) to any creditor of any Debtor, or (iv) any material modification of any of the DIP Secured Parties’ or the Existing RBL Secured Parties’ rights under this Interim Order, the DIP Loan Documents, or the Existing RBL Loan Documents with respect to any DIP Obligations.

11. Proceeds of Subsequent Financing. Without limiting the provisions and protections of the Carve-Out and paragraph 10 above, if at any time prior to the Payment in Full of all the DIP Obligations (including subsequent to the confirmation of any chapter 11 plan or plans with respect to any of the Debtors), the Debtors’ estates, any trustee, any examiner with enlarged powers, or any responsible officer subsequently appointed shall obtain credit or incur debt pursuant to section 364(b), 364(c), 364(d), or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code in violation of this Interim Order or the DIP Loan Documents, then all of the cash proceeds derived from such credit or debt and all Cash Collateral shall immediately be turned over to the DIP Agent for application to the DIP Obligations until Paid in Full.

280

12. Cash Collection. From and after the date of the entry of this Interim Order, all collections and proceeds of any DIP Collateral or Existing RBL Collateral or services provided by any Debtor and all Cash Collateral that shall at any time come into the possession, custody, or control of any Debtor, or to which any Debtor is now or shall become entitled at any time, shall be promptly deposited in the same lock-box and/or deposit accounts into which the collections and proceeds of the Existing RBL Collateral (the “Existing Collateral Accounts”) were deposited under the Existing RBL Loan Documents (or in such other accounts of the Debtors as are designated by the DIP Agent from time to time) (collectively, the “Cash Collection Accounts”), which accounts shall be subject to the sole dominion and control of the DIP Agent and the Existing RBL Agent (and the funds in such accounts may be used by the Debtors to the extent provided in this Interim Order and the DIP Loan Documents). Upon the direction of the DIP Agent or, following Payment in Full of the DIP Obligations, the Existing RBL Agent, at any time after the occurrence of a Termination Event and subject in all instances to the provisions of paragraph 7 and paragraph 15, all proceeds in the Cash Collection Accounts shall be remitted to the DIP Agent for application to the DIP Obligations until Payment in Full, and then to the Existing RBL Agent for application to the Existing RBL Adequate Protection Claims until Payment in Full of such claims. The Debtors are authorized to incur obligations and liabilities for treasury, depositary, or cash management services, including overnight overdraft services, controlled disbursement, automated clearinghouse transactions, return items, overdrafts, and interstate depository network services provided on a postpetition basis by any financial institution at which any Cash Collection Account is maintained; provided, however, that, except to the extent otherwise required by this Court, nothing herein shall require any DIP Secured Party or Existing RBL Secured Party to incur any overdrafts or provide any such services or functions to the Debtors.

13. Disposition of DIP Collateral; Credit Bid.

(a) Unless the DIP Obligations and the Existing RBL Obligations are Paid in Full upon the closing of a sale or other disposition of the DIP Collateral or Existing RBL Collateral, the Debtors shall not sell, transfer, lease, encumber, or otherwise dispose of any portion of the DIP Collateral or any Existing RBL Collateral (or enter into any binding agreement to do so) (other than the sale of crude oil, natural gas, or other hydrocarbons in the ordinary course of business with respect to recurring revenues) without the prior written consent of the DIP Agent and, solely with respect to the Existing RBL Collateral, the Existing RBL Agent (and no such consent shall be implied from any other action, inaction, or acquiescence by any DIP Secured Party or Existing RBL Secured Party or any order of this Court), except as permitted in the DIP Loan Documents and/or the Existing RBL Loan Documents, as applicable, and this Interim Order. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in the DIP Loan Documents, all proceeds from the sale, transfer, lease, encumbrance, or other disposition of any DIP Collateral (other than the sale of crude oil, natural gas, or other hydrocarbons in the ordinary course of business) shall be remitted to the DIP Agent for application to the DIP Obligations until such DIP Obligations are Paid in Full in accordance with the terms of this Interim Order and the DIP Loan Documents, and then to the Existing RBL Agent for application to the Existing RBL Adequate Protection Claims until Payment in Full of such claims. In addition, the Debtors are authorized and directed to enter into such blocked account agreements (with cash dominion, if the DIP Agent so elects) with the DIP Agent and such financial institutions as the DIP Agent may require, and, if it so elects, the DIP Agent shall be entitled to enjoy the benefit of all control agreements to which the Existing RBL Agent is a party without the need to enter into new blocked account agreements.

282

(b) Subject to any Successful Challenge and the Intercreditor Agreement, (i) so long as the DIP Obligations have been or will be repaid in full in cash, the Existing RBL Agent (or one or more of its designees, affiliates, or assignees) shall have the right to credit bid up to the full amount of any Existing RBL Obligations in any sale of the Existing RBL Collateral (or any DIP Collateral subject to any Existing RBL Adequate Protection Liens) under or pursuant to (A) section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (B) any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent any sale contemplated thereunder does not result in Payment in Full of all of the DIP Obligations on the effective date of such plan, or (C) section 725 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) so long as the DIP Obligations and the Existing RBL Obligations have been or will be repaid in full in cash, the Existing Second Lien Agent (or one or more of its designees, affiliates, or assignees) shall have the right to credit bid up to the full amount of any Existing Second Lien Obligations in any sale of the Existing Second Lien Collateral (or any DIP Collateral subject to any Second Lien Adequate Protection Liens) under or pursuant to (A) section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (B) any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent any sale contemplated thereunder does not result in Payment in Full of all of the DIP Obligations on the effective date of such plan, or (iii) section 725 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that any credit bid by the Existing Second Lien Agent (on behalf of the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties) shall include a sufficient cash purchase price to Pay in Full the DIP Obligations and the Existing RBL Obligations on the closing date of any such sale or otherwise satisfy the requirements of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Debtors, on behalf of themselves and their estates, stipulate and agree that (i) any sale of all or part of the Existing RBL Collateral (or any DIP Collateral subject to any Existing RBL Adequate Protection Liens) that does not include the right to credit bid up to the full amount of the Existing RBL Obligations would mean that the Existing RBL Agent and the other Existing RBL Secured Parties will not receive the indubitable equivalent of their claims and interests, and (ii) any sale of all or part of the Existing Second Lien Collateral (or any DIP Collateral subject to the Existing Second Lien Adequate Protection Liens) that does not include the right to credit bid up to the full amount of the Existing Second Lien Obligations, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, would mean that the Existing Second Lien Agent and the other Existing Second Lien Secured Parties will not receive the indubitable equivalent of their claims and interests. The DIP Agent (or one or more of its designees, affiliates, or assignees) shall have the unqualified right to credit bid any or all of the DIP Obligations under or pursuant to (i) section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) section 725 of the Bankruptcy Code. If the DIP Agent, the Existing RBL Agent, or the Existing Second Lien Agent or their respective designees, affiliates, or assignees make a credit bid in connection with any auction or other sale process relating to the sale or other disposition of any DIP Collateral, Existing RBL Collateral, or Existing Second Lien Collateral then for purposes of such auction or sale process or any applicable order of this Court, the DIP Agent, the Existing RBL Agent, and/or the Existing Second Lien Agent shall be automatically deemed to be a qualified bidder and its bid shall be automatically deemed to constitute a qualified bid, regardless of whether the qualified bidder or qualified bid requirements are satisfied.

283

14. Termination Events. The following shall constitute a termination event under this Interim Order, the DIP Loan Documents and the Secured Swap Agreements unless waived in writing by each of the DIP Agent and the Existing RBL Agent (each, a “Termination Event”):

(a) The occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the DIP Credit Agreement, as set forth therein (a “DIP Default Termination Event”), including, for avoidance of doubt, the failure to obtain entry of the Final Order, in form and substance acceptable to the DIP Secured Parties and the Existing RBL Agent, on or before the date that is thirty-five (35) days following entry of the Interim Order.

284

(b) Any other breach, default, or other violation by any of the Debtors of the terms and provisions of this Interim Order.

(c) The Debtors’ failure to (i) enter into a restructuring support agreement (the “RSA”) in form and substance acceptable to the DIP Lenders and the Existing RBL Lenders by the date that is no later than 45 days after the Petition Date, and (ii) if required as a term of such RSA and not waived, (x) file a motion seeking approval to enter into the RSA by the date that is no later than 30 days after the Petition Date and (y) obtain an order from the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the entry into the RSA by the date that is no later than 60 days after the Petition Date.

(d) The Debtors’ failure to file a chapter 11 plan (the “Plan”) and a disclosure statement for the Plan (the “Disclosure Statement”) that provides for Payment in Full of the DIP Obligations and the Existing RBL Obligations in accordance with the RSA, or, is otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required DIP Lenders, or, after the DIP Obligations have been Paid in Full, the “Majority Lenders” under the Existing RBL Credit Agreement, in each case, by the date that is no later than 150 days after the Petition Date.

(e) The Disclosure Statement not being approved by the Bankruptcy Court by the date that is no later than 180 days after the Petition Date.

(f) The Bankruptcy Court not entering an order confirming the Plan by the date that is no later than 210 days after the Petition Date; provided, that, the DIP Agent with the consent of the requisite DIP Lenders, or, after Payment in Full of the DIP Obligations, the Existing RBL Agent with the consent of the requisite Existing RBL Lenders under the Existing RBL Credit Agreement, may extend the time by which the Debtors may satisfy the milestones described in provisions (c)-(f) (together, the “Chapter 11 Milestones”) without further order of this Court.

285

15. Rights and Remedies upon Termination Event.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 15, immediately upon the occurrence and continuation of a Termination Event, the DIP Agent may exercise all rights and remedies under this Interim Order, the DIP Loan Documents, and/or applicable non-bankruptcy law, including the right to (A) declare all DIP Obligations to be immediately due and payable, (B) declare the termination, reduction, or restriction of any further commitment to extend credit to the Debtors, to the extent any such commitment remains, and/or (C) terminate the DIP Facility and any other DIP Loan Documents as to any future liability or obligation of the DIP Agent and the other DIP Secured Parties, but without affecting any of the DIP Obligations or the DIP Liens securing the DIP Obligations.

(b) Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 15, immediately upon the occurrence and continuation of a Termination Event, the DIP Agent or the Existing RBL Agent may declare a termination, reduction, or restriction on the ability of the Debtors to use any Cash Collateral (any such declaration under any of clauses 15(a) or 15(b) shall be made to the respective lead counsel to the Debtors, counsel to any Committee, counsel to the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties, and the United States Trustee, and shall be referred to herein as a “Termination Declaration” and the date that is the earliest to occur of any such Termination Declaration being herein referred to as the “Termination”).

286

(c) Upon the making of a Termination Declaration, the Debtors and all parties in interest shall have five (5) Business Days to seek an emergency hearing (the “Termination Hearing Period”) before this Court for the sole purpose of contesting whether a Termination Event has occurred, and section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code may not be invoked by the Debtors, the Committee, or any other party in interest in an effort to restrict or preclude any DIP Secured Party and/or Existing Secured Party from exercising any rights or remedies set forth in this Interim Order, the DIP Loan Documents, or the Existing RBL Loan Documents. During the Termination Hearing Period, the Debtors may not use Cash Collateral or any amounts previously or thereafter advanced under the DIP Facility except in accordance with the DIP Budget (subject to the Permitted Variances); provided, that, if the Termination Hearing Period ends prior to the occurrence of the hearing contemplated thereby, for the period between the last day of the Termination Hearing Period and the day of such hearing, the Debtors may not use Cash Collateral, request any additional Borrowings (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) or use any amounts previously advanced under the DIP Facility.

(d) Subject in all respects to the Carve-Out, following the conclusion of the Termination Hearing Period (unless prior to such time this Court determines that a Termination Event has not occurred and/or is not continuing), (i) the DIP Agent is hereby granted relief from the automatic stay, without further notice, hearing, motion, order, or other action of any kind, to foreclose on, or otherwise enforce and realize on, its DIP Liens on all or any portion of the DIP Collateral, including by collecting accounts receivable and applying the proceeds thereof to the DIP Obligations or Existing Secured Party Adequate Protection and by occupying the Debtors’ premises to sell or otherwise dispose of the DIP Collateral and (ii) each Secured Swap Party is hereby granted relief from the automatic stay, without further notice, hearing, motion, order, or other action of any kind, to exercise all rights under any Secured Swap Agreement (including, without limitation, the suspension, termination, liquidation, withholding of performance, or acceleration thereof, and the setoff, netting, and application of any payment, settlement payment, termination values, termination payments, and any other amounts that such Secured Swap Party would be entitled to receive from or otherwise be obligated to pay to any Debtor under any Secured Swap Agreement in accordance with the terms of each such Secured Swap Agreement).

287

(e) Subject in all respects to the Carve-Out, upon the effectiveness of any relief from the automatic stay with respect to the DIP Facility pursuant to paragraph 15(d) hereof, the Existing RBL Agent shall have relief from the automatic stay as against the Existing RBL Collateral to the same extent as the DIP Agent, and without further notice, hearing, motion, order, or other action of any kind, to foreclose on, or otherwise enforce and realize on its Existing RBL Liens and the Existing RBL Adequate Protection Liens on, all or any portion of the Existing RBL Collateral (including by collecting accounts receivable and applying the proceeds thereof to the Existing RBL Obligations, and by occupying the Debtors’ premises to sell or otherwise dispose of the Existing RBL Collateral) or otherwise exercise remedies against the Existing RBL Collateral permitted by this Interim Order, the Existing RBL Loan Documents, and/or applicable non-bankruptcy law; provided, however, that any such foreclosure or other enforcement by the Existing RBL Agent of any Existing RBL Liens or any Existing RBL Adequate Protection Liens or any other such exercise of remedies by the Existing RBL Agent against the Existing RBL Collateral shall not interfere with or otherwise be inconsistent with any foreclosure or other enforcement by the DIP Agent of any DIP Liens or other DIP Protections or any other exercise of remedies by the DIP Agent, and any proceeds received by the Existing RBL Agent in connection with such foreclosure, enforcement, or other exercise of remedies shall be turned over to the DIP Agent for application to the DIP Obligations until Paid in Full.

288

(f) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 6 and 15(c) hereof, and subject to the Carve-Out, the Existing Prior Liens, and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds realized in connection with the exercise of the rights and remedies of the DIP Secured Parties or the Existing RBL Secured Parties shall be turned over first to the DIP Agent for application to the DIP Obligations under, and in accordance with the provisions of, the DIP Loan Documents and this Interim Order (which provides, first, for application to the outstanding New Money Loans, and then, to the Refinanced Loans) until Payment in Full of all of the DIP Obligations and then to the Existing RBL Agent for application to the Existing RBL Obligations under, and in accordance with the provisions of, the Existing RBL Loan Documents and this Interim Order until Payment in full of the Existing RBL Obligations and then to the Existing Second Lien Agent for application to the Existing Second Lien Obligations under, and in accordance with the provisions of, the Existing Second Lien Loan Documents and this Interim Order until Payment in Full of the Existing Second Lien Obligations.

289

16. Restriction on Use of Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no loans and/or proceeds from the DIP Facility, DIP Collateral, Cash Collateral (including any retainer held by any professionals for the below-referenced parties), Existing RBL Collateral, Existing Second Lien Collateral, or any portion of the Carve-Out may be used by (a) any Debtor, Committee, or trustee or other estate representative appointed in the Cases or any Successor Cases, or any other person, party, or entity (including any of the Debtor Professionals, the Committee Professionals, or the members of any Committee (“Committee Members”)) to investigate or prosecute any Challenge (including any litigation or other action) in connection with the value of the DIP Collateral, the Existing RBL Collateral, or the Existing Second Lien Collateral (or to pay any professional fees and disbursements incurred in connection therewith) at any time; or (b) any Debtor, any Committee, or any trustee or other estate representative appointed in the Cases or any Successor Cases, or any other person, party, or entity (including any of the Debtor Professionals, the Committee Professionals, or the Committee Members) to (or to pay any professional fees and disbursements incurred in connection therewith): (i) request authorization to obtain postpetition loans or other financial accommodations pursuant to section 364(c) or 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, other than from the DIP Secured Parties, or to seek any modification to this Interim Order not approved by the DIP Agent (after having obtained the approval of the requisite DIP Secured Parties under the DIP Credit Agreement) and, to the extent such modification would affect the rights of any of the Existing RBL Secured Parties, the Existing RBL Agent (after obtaining the approval of the requisite Existing RBL Secured Parties under the Existing RBL Credit Agreement); (ii) investigate (except as set forth below), assert, join, commence, support, or prosecute any action for any claim, counterclaim, action, proceeding, application, motion, objection, defense, or other contested matter seeking any order, judgment, determination, or similar relief against, or adverse to the interests of, in any capacity, any or all of the DIP Secured Parties, the Existing RBL Secured Parties, the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties, their respective affiliates, assigns, or successors and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives, and other advisors of the foregoing, with respect to any transaction, occurrence, omission, action, or other matter (including formal or informal discovery proceedings in anticipation thereof), including (A) any Challenges and any Avoidance Actions or other actions arising under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code; (B) any action with respect to the validity, enforceability, priority, and extent of the DIP Obligations, the Existing RBL Obligations and/or the Existing Second Lien Obligations, or the validity, extent, and priority of the DIP Liens, the Existing RBL Liens, the Existing RBL Adequate Protection Liens, the Existing Second Liens, and/or the Existing Second Lien Adequate Protection Liens; (C) any action seeking to invalidate, set aside, avoid, or subordinate, in whole or in part, the DIP Liens, the other DIP Protections, the Existing RBL Liens, the Existing RBL Adequate Protection Liens, the other Existing RBL Adequate Protection, the Existing Second Liens, the Existing Second Lien Adequate Protection Liens, or the other Existing Second Lien Adequate Protection; (D) any “lender liability” cause of action; (E) except to contest in good faith the occurrence or continuance of any Termination Event as permitted in paragraph 15, any action seeking, or having the effect of, preventing, hindering, or otherwise delaying any or all of the DIP Secured Parties’, and, after the Payment in Full of the DIP Obligations, the Existing RBL Secured Parties’, assertion, enforcement, or realization on the Cash Collateral, the DIP Collateral, or the Existing RBL Collateral in accordance with the DIP Loan Documents or the Existing RBL Loan Documents, as applicable, or this Interim Order); and/or (F) any action seeking to modify any of the rights, remedies, priorities, privileges, protections, and benefits granted to any or all of the DIP Secured Parties, the Existing RBL Secured Parties, and the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties hereunder or under the DIP Loan Documents, the Existing RBL Loan Documents, or the Existing Second Lien Loan Documents, as applicable, or any payments made thereunder or in respect thereof; provided, however, that up to $50,000 in the aggregate of the Carve-Out, any DIP Collateral, any Existing RBL Collateral, any Existing Second Lien Collateral, any Cash Collateral, and proceeds of the DIP Facility may be used by the Committee (to the extent such Committee is appointed) to investigate (but not to prosecute) the claims and/or Liens of the Existing RBL Agent and the other Existing RBL Secured Parties under the Existing RBL Loan Documents and the claims and/or Liens of the Existing Second Lien Agent and the other Existing Second Lien Secured Parties under the Existing Second Lien Loan Documents (but not the claims and/or Liens of the DIP Agent and the other DIP Secured Parties) so long as such investigation occurs and any Challenge is brought within the Challenge Period; provided, further, that the Debtors shall be permitted to use the proceeds of the DIP Facility or Cash Collateral as necessary to contest an Event of Default alleged by the DIP Agent or any DIP Lender.; (iii) pay any fees or similar amounts to any person (other than the Existing RBL Secured Parties) who has proposed or may propose to purchase interests in any of the Debtors without the prior written consent of the DIP Agent and the Existing RBL Agent;

290

17. Proofs of Claim. Neither the Existing RBL Secured Parties nor the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties will be required to file proofs of claim in any of the Cases or Successor Cases for any claim allowed herein. The Debtors’ Existing RBL Stipulations shall be deemed to constitute a timely filed proof of claim for the Existing RBL Secured Parties in respect of all Existing RBL Obligations and the Debtors’ Existing Second Lien Stipulations shall be deemed to constitute a timely filed proof of claim for the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties in respect of all Existing Second Lien Obligations. In addition, the Existing RBL Secured Parties, the DIP Secured Parties, and the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties will not be required to file any request for allowance and/or payment of any administrative expenses, and this Order shall be deemed to constitute a timely filed request for allowance and/or payment of any Existing RBL Obligations and Existing Second Lien Obligations constituting administrative expenses or any DIP Obligations, as applicable. Notwithstanding any order entered by this Court in relation to the establishment of a bar date in any of the Cases or Successor Cases to the contrary, each of the Existing RBL Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Existing RBL Secured Parties, the Existing Second Lien Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Existing Second Lien Secured Parties, and the DIP Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other DIP Secured Parties, is hereby authorized and entitled, in its sole discretion, but not required, to file (and amend and/or supplement, in its discretion) in each of the Cases or Successor Cases (i) in the case of Existing RBL Agent, a proof of claim and/or aggregate proofs of claim in respect of any Existing RBL Obligations, (ii) in the case of each of the Existing RBL Agent and the DIP Agent, a request or aggregate requests for allowance and/or payment of any portion of the Existing RBL Obligations constituting administrative expenses or any DIP Obligations, as applicable, and (iii) in the case of the Existing Second Lien Agent, a proof of claim and/or aggregate proofs of claim in respect of any Existing Second Lien Obligations. This paragraph 17 shall in all regards remain subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.

291

18. Preservation of Rights Granted Under the Interim Order.

(a) No Non-Consensual Modification or Extension of Interim Order. The Debtors irrevocably waive any right to seek any amendment, modification, or extension of this Interim Order (including through any chapter 11 plan of reorganization) without the prior written consent of the DIP Agent and the Existing RBL Agent, and no such consent shall be implied by any other action, inaction, or acquiescence of the DIP Secured Parties or any of the Existing RBL Secured Parties. In the event any or all of the provisions of this Interim Order are hereafter modified, amended, or vacated by a subsequent order of this Court or any other court, such modification, amendment, or vacatur shall not affect the validity, perfection, priority, allowability, enforceability, or non-avoidability of any advances, payments, or use of cash authorized or made hereby or pursuant to the DIP Loan Documents or Secured Swap Agreements, or Lien, claim, priority, or other DIP Protections authorized or created hereby or pursuant to the DIP Loan Documents or Secured Swap Agreements. Based on the findings set forth in this Interim Order and in accordance with section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, which is applicable to the DIP Facility, in the event any or all of the provisions of this Interim Order are hereafter reversed, modified, vacated, or stayed by a subsequent order of this Court or any other court, the DIP Secured Parties and the Existing Secured Parties shall be entitled to the protections provided in section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and notwithstanding any such reversal, modification, vacatur, or stay, any use of Cash Collateral or any DIP Obligations or any DIP Protections (including the Existing Secured Party Adequate Protection) incurred or granted by the Debtors prior to the actual receipt of written notice by the DIP Agent, the Existing RBL Agent, or the Existing Second Lien Agent, as applicable, of the effective date of such reversal, modification, vacatur, or stay shall remain in full force and effect and be binding on all parties in interest and be governed in all respects by the original provisions of this Interim Order (and shall maintain their respective priorities as provided by this Interim Order), and the DIP Secured Parties, the Existing RBL Secured Parties, and the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to all of the DIP Protections (including the Existing Secured Party Adequate Protection) and all other rights, remedies, Liens, priorities, privileges, protections, and benefits granted pursuant to section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, this Interim Order, or the DIP Loan Documents.

292

(b) Dismissal. If any order dismissing any of the Cases under section 1112 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise is at any time entered, then notwithstanding any such dismissal, (i) the DIP Protections (including the Existing Secured Party Adequate Protection) and all other rights, remedies, Liens, priorities, privileges, protections, and benefits granted to any or all of the DIP Secured Parties and the Existing Secured Parties, respectively, shall remain in full force and effect and be binding on all parties in interest and be governed in all respects by the provisions of this Interim Order (and shall maintain their respective priorities as provided by this Interim Order) until all DIP Obligations and all Existing RBL Adequate Protection Claims have been Paid in Full, and such order of dismissal shall so provide (in accordance with section 105 and 349 of the Bankruptcy Code), and (ii) this Court shall retain jurisdiction, notwithstanding such dismissal, for the purposes of enforcing such DIP Protections (including the Existing Secured Party Adequate Protection) and all other rights, remedies, Liens, priorities, privileges, protections, and benefits granted to any or all of the DIP Secured Parties and the Existing Secured Parties, respectively.

(c) Survival of Interim Order. The provisions of this Interim Order, the DIP Loan Documents and the Secured Swap Agreements any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto, and all of the DIP Protections (including the Existing Secured Party Adequate Protection), and all other rights, remedies, Liens, priorities, privileges, protections, and benefits granted to any or all of the DIP Secured Parties and the Existing Secured Parties, respectively, shall survive, and shall not be modified, impaired, or discharged by, the entry of any order confirming any plan of reorganization in any Case or Successor Case, converting any Case to a case under chapter 7, dismissing any of the Cases, withdrawing of the reference of any of the Cases or any Successor Cases or providing for abstention from handling or retaining of jurisdiction of any of the Cases or any Successor Case in this Court, or terminating the joint administration of these Cases or any Successor Case or by any other act or omission. The terms and provisions of this Interim Order, including all of the DIP Protections (including the Existing Secured Party Adequate Protection) and all other rights, remedies, Liens, priorities, privileges, protections, and benefits granted to any or all of the DIP Secured Parties and the Existing Secured Parties, respectively, shall continue in full force and effect and be binding on all parties in interest notwithstanding the entry of any such order, and such DIP Protections (including the Existing Secured Party Adequate Protection), and such other rights, remedies, Liens priorities, privileges, protections, and benefits, shall continue in full force and effect in these proceedings and in any Successor Cases and after dismissal of any thereof, and shall maintain their respective priorities as provided by this Interim Order. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2(d) of this Interim Order with respect to the treatment of the Refinancing DIP Obligations, the DIP Obligations shall not be discharged by the entry of an order confirming any such chapter 11 plan, the Debtors having waived such discharge pursuant to section 1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

293

19. Insurance Policies. Upon entry of this Interim Order, the DIP Agent shall be deemed to be, without any further action or notice, named as additional insureds and loss payees, as applicable, on each insurance policy maintained by the Debtors that in any way covers the DIP Collateral, and the Debtors shall take such actions as are reasonably requested by the DIP Agent, the Existing RBL Agent, or the Existing Second Lien Agent from time to time to evidence or effectuate the foregoing.

20. Preservation of Prepetition Priorities and Interests. Nothing in this Interim Order is intended to change or otherwise modify the prepetition priorities among secured creditors of the Debtors (including under the Intercreditor Agreement), including any sureties’, operators’, or nonoperators’ recoupment rights to the extent their rights are valid, enforceable, nonavoidable, and perfected, and nothing in this Interim Order shall be deemed to have changed or modified such prepetition priorities, all of which are hereby expressly preserved; provided, however, that the Debtors, the Committee, the DIP Secured Parties, and all other parties in interest reserve all rights to object to any of the foregoing claims or liens.

294

21. Surety Bonds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Debtors’ Emergency Motion for Interim and Final Authority to (I) Continue Insurance Policies and Surety Bond Program, (II) Pay All Obligations With Respect Thereto, (III) Authorizing Financial Institutions to Honor and Process Related Checks and Transfers, and (II) Granting Related Relief (the “Insurance and Surety Bond Motion”) and any order approving the relief sought therein in the ordinary course of business, the Debtors may only (a) renew, amend, modify, supplement, and extend their existing Surety Bond Program, (b) obtain new or replacement surety bonds, (c) post new or additional collateral, or issue letters of credit, (d) execute other agreements in connection with the Surety Bond Program (as defined in the Insurance and Surety Bond Motion), and (e) continue to perform under the Surety Indemnity Agreements (as defined in the Insurance and Surety Bond Motion), in each case of (a)-(e), with the consent of the DIP Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

22. Postpetition Hedging Arrangement. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) any Secured Swap Agreement (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) must be with an Approved Counterparty (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) and otherwise subject to the limitations provided in the DIP Credit Agreement, and (b) any Secured Swap Obligations will be granted DIP Superpriority Claims, DIP Liens, automatic stay relief, and the other DIP Protections afforded by this Interim Order and the Final Order in respect of each such transaction until the Secured Swap Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash, or as otherwise provided by this Interim Order and the Final Order, as applicable. The relief and protections provided by this Interim Order and the Final Order, as applicable, to any such Secured Swap Party with respect to such Secured Swap Obligations shall not be subject to discharge or impairment, except as otherwise provided by this Interim Order and the Final Order, as applicable.

295

23. Other Rights and Obligations.

(a) Expenses. As provided in the DIP Loan Documents (and without limiting the Debtors’ respective obligations thereunder), the applicable Debtors will pay all reasonable and documented expenses incurred by the DIP Agent (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of all counsel for the DIP Agent, any Secured Swap Party to the extent provided in the DIP Credit Agreement, and any internal or third-party appraisers, consultants, advisors, and auditors engaged by or for the benefit of the DIP Agent and/or its counsel) in connection with the Cases, including the preparation, execution, delivery, and administration of the DIP Loan Documents, the Secured Swap Agreements, this Interim Order, the Final Order, and any other agreements, instruments, pleadings, or other documents prepared or reviewed in connection with any of the foregoing, whether or not any or all of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the DIP Loan Documents are consummated.

296

(b) Notice of Professional Fees. Professionals for the DIP Agent, the Secured Swap Parties, the Existing RBL Agent and the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties (including professionals engaged by counsel to the DIP Agent, the Existing RBL Agent, or the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties, as applicable) (collectively, the “Lender Professionals”) shall not be required to comply with the United States Trustee fee guidelines or submit invoices to this Court, United States Trustee, any Committee or any other party in interest. Copies of summary invoices submitted to the Debtors by such Lender Professionals shall be forwarded by the Debtors to the United States Trustee, counsel for any Committee, and such other parties as this Court may direct. The summary invoices shall be sufficiently detailed to enable a determination as to the reasonableness of such fees and expenses; provided, however, that such summary invoices may be redacted to the extent necessary to delete any information subject to the attorney-client privilege, any information constituting attorney work product, or any other confidential information, and the provision of such summary invoices shall not constitute any waiver of the attorney-client privilege or of any benefits of the attorney work product doctrine or other applicable privilege; and provided, further that to the extent DIP Agent and Existing RBL Agent are the same and have a single set of advisors, such advisors may submit a single combined invoice for their aggregated services. If the Debtors, United States Trustee, or any Committee object to the reasonableness of the fees and expenses of any of the Lender Professionals and cannot resolve such objection within ten (10) days of receipt of such invoices, then the Debtors, United States Trustee, or the Committee, as the case may be, shall file with this Court and serve on such Lender Professionals an objection (the “Fee Objection”) limited to the issue of the reasonableness of such fees and expenses, and any failure by any such party to file a Fee Objection within such ten (10) day period shall constitute a waiver of any right of such party to object to the applicable invoice. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any objection to, and any hearing on an objection to, payment of any fees and expenses set forth in a professional fee invoice in respect of Lender Professionals shall be limited to the reasonableness of the particular items or categories of the fees and expenses that are the subject of such objection. The Debtors shall timely pay in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Interim Order (a) the undisputed fees, and expenses reflected on any invoice to which a Fee Objection has been timely filed and (b) all fees, costs, and expenses on any invoice to which no Fee Objection has been timely filed. All such unpaid fees, costs, expenses, and charges of the DIP Agent, the Secured Swap Parties, Existing RBL Agent and/or Existing Second Lien Secured Parties, as applicable, that have not been disallowed by this Court on the basis of an objection filed by the Debtor, the United States Trustee, or the Committee (or any subsequent trustee of the Debtors’ estates) in accordance with the terms hereof shall constitute DIP Obligations, Existing RBL Obligations and/or Existing Second Lien Obligations, as applicable, and shall be secured by the DIP Collateral, Existing RBL Collateral and/or Existing Second Lien Collateral, as applicable, as specified in this Interim Order. Any and all fees and expenses paid prior to the Petition Date by any Debtor to the DIP Secured Parties, the Existing RBL Secured Parties and/or the Existing Second Lien Secured Parties in connection with or with respect to the DIP Facility, the DIP Credit Agreement, or the other DIP Loan Documents and Secured Swap Agreements are hereby approved in full and non-refundable and shall not otherwise be subject to any Challenge. All fees, costs, expenses and charges paid to the Existing Second Lien Agent and/or Existing Second Lien Secured Parties pursuant to this paragraph 23(a) shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in all regards.

EXECUTION VERSION

LEGACY RESERVES, INC.

MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

The following term sheet (this “Term Sheet”) summarizes the principal terms of a Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to be sponsored by Legacy Reserves, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Group”) and of grants to be made at Emergence under the Plan to management employees of the Company Group (each, an “Employee”), including executive employees (each, an “Executive”). Capitalized terms used in this Term Sheet but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Restructuring Term Sheet.

	Company Capital Structure:		The Plan of Reorganization contemplates a minimum initial equity value of $[TBD] million, which for purposes hereof will consist of [TBD]¹ million shares (“Initial Share Count”) at $10 per share; such equity value and Initial Share Count would be adjusted based on the amount of new equity funded on Emergence.
	Incentive Compensation:		There will be reserved, exclusively for Employees, a pool of equity (such reserve, the “MIP Pool”) having a value equal to: (i) 5.0% of the Initial Share Count granted as soon as administratively practicable (but in no event more than 60 days following Emergence) in accordance with this Term Sheet (the “Emergence Awards”) in the following form: (A) 2.5% of the Initial Share Count in Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), and (B) 2.5% of the Initial Share Count in stock options with a strike price of $10.00 per share (“Options”); (ii) 5.0% of the Initial Share Count will be reserved for potential future issuance as determined by the new board of directors.² Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise approved by the Plan Sponsor, for purposes of the MIP Pool, the Initial Share Count will not include any: i) shares issued in excess of [70] million shares (i.e. for shares issued in respect of equity capitalization in excess of $[700] million) or ii) shares issued to Plan Sponsor in respect of its new money funding in excess of 20 million shares (i.e. for shares issued to Plan Sponsor in excess of $200 million funded).
	Vesting:		Normal Vesting. Subject to an Employee’s continued employment through each applicable vesting date, Emergence Awards will vest 25% on each of the first four (4) anniversaries of the Emergence Date. RSUs will be settled as soon as practicable following vesting. Accelerated Vesting Prior to a Change in Control. If the Employee is terminated by the Company without Cause, by the Employee for Good Reason or due to death or Disability, and such termination occurs outside of the Change in Control period described below, the Employee will become vested in the Emergence Awards that would have vested if the Employee’s employment had continued for an additional 12 months.

¹ NTD: To be equal to the number of shares with aggregate value equal to plan value.

² NTD: We will ensure that options will not have exercise prices lower than the fair market value on the grant date, but we do not want to commit to getting independent 409A valuations. We will get independent 409A valuations at the time of grant if we think necessary.

311

			Accelerated Vesting Upon a Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control (as will be defined in the applicable equity plan and excluding any acquisition of the Company by Plan Sponsor and any of its affiliates) following which the Employee is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Employee for Good Reason within 24 months following the Change in Control, 100% of an Employee’s unvested Emergence Awards will accelerate and vest. The definitions of “Cause,” “Without Cause,” “Good Reason” and “Disability” will be on customary terms for similar management arrangements.
	Forfeiture:		100% of any unvested Options or unvested RSUs (determined after giving effect to any accelerated vesting set forth above) will be forfeited for no consideration upon any termination of employment and, subject to the next sentence, the Employee will be entitled to retain any vested Options that are not yet exercised or any vested RSUs that are not yet settled, and any shares previously received upon exercise of Options or settlement of RSUs, subject to the exercise of the repurchase rights (discussed below). All Options, whether or not vested, will be forfeited for no consideration upon a termination for Cause.
	Other Terms:		The option grants will be subject to customary adjustments with regard to any extraordinary dividends paid. The Options will expire on the earlier of (a) the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Emergence Date or (b) 180 days following the Employee’s termination of employment (other than for Cause) or one year following his or her Death or Disability. Unvested RSUs will be entitled to dividends on a pro rata basis with outstanding shares and such dividend payments will be retained and will be subject to vesting provisions set forth above. Upon the exercise of an Option or the settlement of RSUs, Employees may elect to pay the exercise price and tax withholding through the withholding of shares by the Company. If the Company is not publicly traded on a national securities exchange or over the counter market, the Company will agree to provide fair market valuations to facilitate the exercise of Options.
	Executive Investments:		The Executives will have the opportunity to invest in the common stock in a manner to be agreed by the Executives, the Company and Plan Sponsor.
	Employment Agreements:		The Company will enter into amended and restated employment agreements with Executives on the same terms as set forth in the existing agreements, subject to conforming changes associated with this MIP and Change in Control definitions. For the avoidance of doubt, the reorganization of the Company will not constitute a Change in Control under the applicable employment agreements.

312

	Company Repurchase Rights:		• The Company shall have the right to repurchase, upon an Employee’s termination of employment and for Fair Market Value, any common shares acquired upon exercise of the Options or in settlement of the RSUs. The repurchase right will expire on the 12-month anniversary of the Employee’s termination of employment or in connection with an initial public offering or other listing on a national securities exchange. • The repurchase price will be paid in cash unless otherwise prohibited by the terms of any loan agreement or other financing agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party, in which case, in lieu of cash payment, the Company may at its discretion issue to the Executive a promissory note bearing simple interest at the prime rate and containing such other reasonable terms and conditions as may be determined by the Company. • “Fair Market Value” means the fair market value of the applicable security as of the Employee’s termination of employment, as determined by the new board of directors in good faith and without applying any discounts for minority interest, illiquidity or other similar factors.
	Allocations		• Allocations among individual Employees to be determined by mutual agreement of Plan Sponsor and the Company.

INTRODUCTION

This term sheet (this “Term Sheet”) describes the principal terms and conditions relating to the post-Effective Date governance of the Reorganized Legacy Reserves (the “Company”) following the completion of the Restructuring which will be memorialized in a stockholders agreement (the “SHA”) entered into by the post-Effective Date holders of New Common Stock and other equity interest in the Company (such equity interests, collectively, the “Company Stock” and each holder thereof, a “Stockholder”) (and any persons or entities who become Stockholders at any time following the Effective Date shall be required to sign a joinder to the SHA concurrently with their acquisition of Company Stock). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in that certain Restructuring Term Sheet, by and among [ ˜ ], dated as of June [ ˜ ], 2019.

PRINCIPAL GOVERNANCE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Governance;

Board of Directors

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) shall have full power to manage and control the business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Board shall initially be comprised of seven (7) directors, nominated and appointed as follows:

a. one (1) director shall be Xxx Xxxxxxxx, CEO of Legacy Reserves;

b. one (1) director shall be Xxxx Xxxxxxx, President and COO of Legacy Reserves,

c. five (5) directors, which may include independent directors or current board members of the Company Parties, shall be nominated by the Plan Sponsor or, to the extent applicable with the prior written consent of the Plan Sponsor, a Partner (any such directors that are not independent directors, the “Sponsor Directors”, and any such directors that are independent directors, the “Independent Directors”, and such Sponsor Directors and Independent Directors, collectively, the “Sponsor Nominees”); provided that, in the event that the Noteholder Backstop Parties acquire and continue to hold, in the aggregate, more than seven percent (7%) of the New Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date, the Noteholder Backstop Parties shall be entitled to nominate one (1) of the five (5) directors who are the subject of this clause (c); provided, further, that in the event that (i) the Plan Sponsor owns fifty percent (50%) or less, but ten percent (10%) or more, of the New Common Stock that the Plan Sponsor owned on the Effective Date, the number of Sponsor Nominees shall be adjusted so that they constitute a proportional number of the directors of the Board (i.e., ranging from fifty percent (50%) to ten percent (10%) of the total number of directors of the Board), and (ii) if the Plan Sponsor owns less than ten percent (10%) of the New Common Stock that the Plan Sponsor owned on the Effective Date, there shall be no obligation for any Sponsor Nominee to be nominated to the Board; and

338

d. following the Effective Date, for so long as the Plan Sponsor owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the New Common Stock that the Plan Sponsor owned on the Effective Date, additional directors may be nominated from time-to-time by the Plan Sponsor, provided that such directors are mutually acceptable to the Plan Sponsor and the Board.

Each director shall have one (1) vote. All actions of the Board must be approved by a majority of the Board, and no Board nominee may be subject to a “bad actor” disqualification.

Each Stockholder shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the individuals nominated in accordance with the preceding clauses (a) through (d) to be appointed as directors of the Board, including voting all their shares of Company Stock in favor of such nominees.

Unless otherwise agreed to by the Plan Sponsor, in its sole and absolute discretion, each board of directors, committee or similar governing body of any subsidiary of the Company shall be comprised of a majority of Sponsor Directors (subject to proportionate adjustments consistent with clause (c) above).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Board shall be appointed in compliance with section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Company’s and each of its subsidiaries’ organizational documents will include a waiver of corporate opportunities or similar doctrines to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.

339

Special Consent Rights	Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for so long as the Plan Sponsor owns at least thirty percent (30%) of the New Common Stock that the Plan Sponsor owned on the Effective Date, consent of the Plan Sponsor, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be required for each of the actions set forth on Schedule I attached hereto to be taken by the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries. Additionally, the majority of directors that are not Sponsor Directors shall have consent rights to transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and affiliates of the Plan Sponsor, on the other hand, which contemplate the aggregate payment in excess of $[ ˜ ]¹ during any fiscal year that are also not on an arms’-length basis (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The foregoing consent rights contemplated by this paragraph shall no longer apply in the event that the Company (or a successor entity or affiliate thereof) is listed on an Established OTC Marketplace or on a national securities exchange.
Transfer Restrictions	Subject to the provisions concerning a Drag-Along Sale and Tag-Along Sale discussed below and customary permitted transfers (e.g., transfers to affiliates), each Stockholder shall be permitted to, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, transfer, convey, pledge or otherwise dispose of (including, without limitation, through the use of derivative securities or other instruments) (collectively, “Transfer”) any of its shares of Company Stock; provided that, for so long as the Plan Sponsor owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the New Common Stock that the Plan Sponsor owned on the Effective Date, the Plan Sponsor shall have a right of first offer with respect to the Transfer of such shares of Company Stock, which shall be subject to customary terms. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for so long as the SHA remains in effect, the acquirer or transferee of Company Stock in connection with any Transfer will be required to become a party to the SHA in order for such Transfer to become effective.
Drag-Along Sale	After the Effective Date, the holders of the New Common Equity that own not less than fifty percent (50%) of the then-outstanding shares of Company Stock (collectively, the “Drag-Along Seller”) may elect to require the Company to commence a process for, and require the Company and the other Stockholders to cooperate with and consummate, (i) a sale of at least a majority of all of the shares of Company Stock then issued and outstanding to, (ii) a merger of the Company with, or (iii) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets to, in each case, one or more third party purchasers, in one or a series of related transactions (any transaction in clauses (i) through (iii) above, a “Company Sale”, and any Company Sale required by the Drag-Along Seller, a “Drag-Along Sale”). Each Stockholder will consent to, vote in favor of, raise no objection to and waive any appraisal, dissenters’ or other similar rights in connection with such Drag-Along Sale. If a Drag-Along Sale involves a sale or exchange of Company Stock (including pursuant to a merger), then each holder will transfer its Company Stock on the same terms and conditions applicable to the Drag-Along Seller subject to customary limitations with respect to required representations, warranties, indemnification and other covenants. In connection with a Drag-Along Sale involving a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Company and its subsidiaries shall enter into such agreements and arrangements with the applicable third party purchaser of such assets in a form and on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Drag-Along Seller consistent with the foregoing.

¹	Note to Draft: Amount to be mutually agreed in SHA.

340

Tag-Along Sale	After the Effective Date, in connection with any transfer (or a series of related transfers) by one or more holders (collectively, the “Selling Interest Holders”) of more than ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Stock at the time of such Tag-Along Sale to one or more unaffiliated third party purchasers (a “Tag-Along Sale”), each other Stockholder (collectively, the “Tag-Along Interest Holders”) shall have the option to participate in such Tag-Along Sale up to a corresponding percentage of the Company Stock owned by such Tag-Along Interest Holder. Tag-Along Interest Holders shall receive the same form and amount of consideration per share of Company Stock of a particular class that is being paid to the Selling Interest Holders in connection with the Tag-Along Sale with respect to the Selling Interest Holders’ corresponding shares of Company Stock of such class. The terms and conditions applicable to the Tag-Along Interest Holder in connection with the Tag-Along Sale shall not be less favorable than those terms and conditions applicable to the Selling Interest Holders subject to customary limitations with respect to required representations, warranties, indemnification and other covenants.
Pre-Emptive Rights	If, after the Effective Date, the Company issues (other than pursuant to a management incentive plan, its debt financing documentation, the exercise of the Warrants, in connection with an M&A transaction, equity issuances of less than 2.5% of the pro forma shares of Company Stock and other customary exceptions) shares of Company Stock (or any options, warrants or other equity securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Company Stock), then each Stockholder that owns more than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Stock at such time shall be entitled to participate in such issuance on a pro rata basis at the same purchase price and subject to the same terms.
Initial Public Offering; Registration Rights	For so long as the Plan Sponsor owns more than forty percent (40%) of the issued and outstanding New Common Stock, the Plan Sponsor shall have the right to cause an initial public offering of equity interests of the Company (or a successor entity or affiliate thereof) (an “IPO”).

341

If an IPO is undertaken, each Stockholder shall agree, if requested in connection with the IPO, to convert or exchange its shares of Company Stock into other equity securities of the Company or equity securities of any other entity upon the same terms and conditions as the Plan Sponsor and take such other actions and enter into and modify such agreements reasonably necessary in order to facilitate the IPO.

Following an IPO, customary registration rights (including demand and piggyback registration rights) will be provided to the Plan Sponsor and the Equity Backstop Parties to the extent they receive any “restricted” or “control” securities under the terms of the Plan or any agreements entered into in connection with the Plan pursuant to a registration rights agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Plan Sponsor and reasonably acceptable to the Debtors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Each Stockholder that owns more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of Company Stock will have the right to participate on a pro rata basis in any registered public offering initiated by the Company (or by parties exercising demand registration rights, including the Plan Sponsor), subject to underwriter cutbacks, lockups and other customary exceptions or limitations. In addition, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its directors and executive officers to enter into similar lock-up agreements.

Each Stockholder shall enter into a customary lock-up agreement and coordination agreement in connection with an IPO.

The Company shall bear the registration expenses of all piggyback and demand registrations, and shall reimburse the holders of registrable securities included in each registration (including registrations pursuant to an initial public offering) for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one legal counsel for all holders of registrable securities, which counsel shall be selected by the largest selling holder participating in such issuance, up to an aggregate amount of $50,000 per issuance.

SEC Filings;

Equity Listing

The Company shall be constituted as a C-corporation after the Effective Date unless otherwise determined by the Plan Sponsor so long as the Plan Sponsor owns twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the New Common Stock that is held by the Plan Sponsor as of the Effective Date, with prior notice to and in consultation with the Debtors.

The Company and the Debtors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate the listing of the Company Stock on an established OTC marketplace (i.e., OTCQX or OTCQB, and not, for example, on the pink sheets) (an “Established OTC Marketplace”) or on a national securities exchange within two hundred and seventy (270) days of the Effective Date (the “Listing Period”); provided that the Board may extend the Listing Period up to an additional two hundred and seventy (270) days in the event that the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors at such time) determines such extension is in the best interests of the Company. Unless otherwise directed by the Plan Sponsor, the Debtors agree that the Company will remain a public reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases and, at the election of the Plan Sponsor so long as the Plan Sponsor owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the New Common Stock that is owned by the Plan Sponsor as of the Effective Date, upon and after the Effective Date; for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Company is not listed on an Established OTC marketplace or on a national securities exchange, or otherwise is not filing periodic reports with the SEC, the Company will provide the information rights set forth in the “Information Rights” section below to its Stockholders.

342

For the avoidance of doubt, the deregistration of the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 shall not be prohibited by the SHA, which deregistration shall be subject to the approval of the Board and its determination that such deregistration is both legally permissible and in the best interests of the Company.
Expenses	The Company will pay all reasonable costs and expenses associated with due diligence and the preparation, negotiation, administration, syndication and closing of all definitive documentation relating to this Term Sheet (including the equity investment by the Plan Sponsor), including, without limitation, the legal fees of counsel and third party advisors to the Plan Sponsor, regardless of whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Term Sheet occur.
Information Rights	Each Stockholder will be entitled to receive: a. quarterly unaudited financial statements within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the Company’s first three (3) fiscal quarters during each fiscal year or, if later, such time as delivered to the lenders under the Exit Facility (or any other senior credit facility of the Company); and b. audited annual financial statements within ninety (90) days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year or, if later, such time as delivered to the lenders under the Exit Facility (or any other senior credit facility of the Reorganized Debtors). The information required to be disclosed pursuant to the foregoing shall be posted on a secure password-protected website maintained on behalf of the Company, and all such information shall be subject to customary confidentiality obligations as set forth in the SHA.

The conference call will be following the last day of each fiscal quarter and not later than ten (10) business days following the date on which the Company distributes the quarterly or annual financial statements described above. No fewer than two (2) business days prior to the conference call, the Company will provide a notice to the Stockholders with the time and date of such conference call as well as the instructions for obtaining access to the call. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no information described in this section shall be required to be provided if and for so long as the Company is filing periodic reports with the SEC.
Amendments to SHA	Any amendments to the SHA or the organizational documents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries will require the prior approval of the Board; provided that any amendment that materially and disproportionately adversely affects the obligations or rights of any Stockholder (or class of Stockholders) relative to other Stockholders (or classes of Stockholders) shall require the consent of the Stockholders representing a majority of the shares of Company Stock so adversely affected.
Governing Law; Jurisdiction	Delaware.
Parties to the SHA	All Stockholders shall be party to the SHA.

351

GENERAL PROVISIONS REGARDING THE RESTRUCTURING
The Backstop Commitment	The Plan Sponsor (together with any third parties designated by the Plan Sponsor and reasonably acceptable to the Debtors, collectively, the “Equity Backstop Parties”) will provide the Backstop Commitment, which shall be $200 million (the “Equity Backstop Amount”), subject to certain adjustments as described herein and on the terms set forth in the Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E (including all schedules and exhibits thereto, the “Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement”). The Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement will provide for, among other things, a commitment fee (the “Equity Backstop Fee”) of 6% of the Equity Backstop Amount (which fee, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be in an amount equal to $12 million) payable to the Equity Backstop Parties (a) in New Common Stock on the Effective Date or (b) in cash, if the Effective Date has not occurred, upon the earlier of (x) consummation of an alternative transaction or (y) termination of the Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement in certain circumstances in accordance with its terms.
The Rights Offering	If Class 5 votes to accept the Plan, holders of Notes Claims (“Noteholders”) shall receive Subscription Rights to participate in the Rights Offering in an amount equal to $100 million (the “Maximum Noteholder Subscription Amount”). To the extent that Noteholders do not subscribe to their full Pro Rata share of the Maximum Noteholder Subscription Amount, Subscription Rights for such unsubscribed portion shall be made available to Noteholders and the Plan Sponsor (“Oversubscription Rights”) according to allocations and procedures in form and substance acceptable to the Plan Sponsor and the Debtors. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Class 5 is entitled to participate in the Rights Offering, the Plan Sponsor shall be entitled to participate in the Rights Offering (including Oversubscription Rights) on account of its Note Claims. Each dollar of Noteholder subscriptions to the Rights Offering up to the Maximum Noteholder Subscription Amount shall, at the Plan Sponsor’s option, decrease the amount of the Backstop Commitment to be funded by the Plan Sponsor on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to $100 million (the “Noteholder Subscription Downsize”). Subscription Rights, including Oversubscription Rights, shall be transferable to eligible participants subject to the consent of the Plan Sponsor (not to be unreasonably withheld) and the Debtors based on eligibility criteria in form and substance acceptable to the Plan Sponsor and the Debtors.

352

Incremental Equity Investment	At the Plan Sponsor’s option (including in connection with a third party investment), the Debtors may raise up to $200 million of additional exit equity capital (the “Incremental Equity Investment”). The Plan Sponsor (or a designee mutually acceptable to the Debtors and the Plan Sponsor) shall be entitled to purchase New Common Stock on account of the Incremental Equity Investment (“Incremental Participation”). Incremental Participation shall be subject to such other documentation, terms, and conditions (including, without limitation, representations and warranties of the Debtors) to be agreed between the Plan Sponsor and the Debtors. Each dollar of Incremental Participation from a third party purchaser shall, at the Plan Sponsor’s option, decrease the amount of the Backstop Commitment to be funded by the Plan Sponsor on a dollar-for-dollar basis (the “Incremental Downsize” and together with the Noteholder Subscription Downsize, collectively, the “Sponsor Equity Downsize”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Incremental Downsize shall be in addition to any Noteholder Subscription Downsize, and the Incremental Downsize may, whether individually or in aggregate with the Noteholder Subscription Downsize, reduce the amount of the Backstop Commitment to be funded pursuant to the Plan and Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement to zero. For the avoidance of doubt, for so long as the Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement remains effective and has not been terminated, the Plan Sponsor’s commitment to fund the Equity Backstop Amount on the Effective Date pursuant to the Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement shall not be reduced by any component of the Sponsor Equity Downsize except to the extent that readily available funds are received by the Debtors on or before the Effective Date.
Plan Equity Offerings Pricing	The New Common Stock issued pursuant to the Equity Backstop Commitment (including the Equity Backstop Fee) and, to the extent implemented, the Rights Offering and the Incremental Equity Investment, will be offered at the same per share price determined in a manner acceptable to the Debtors and Plan Sponsor based on a total enterprise value of the Debtors of $950 million.²
DIP Financing	DIP Facility: Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors will obtain commitments for the DIP Facility pursuant to the terms set forth in the DIP Documents.

² The total enterprise value of the Debtors for purposes of pricing the New Common Stock issued pursuant to the Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement and, to the extent implemented, the Rights Offering and the Incremental Equity Investment, is a component of a global settlement among the Debtors, the Plan Sponsor, and the other parties to the RSA. The Debtors, the Plan Sponsor, and the other parties to the RSA reserve their respective rights with respect to valuation of the Debtors and the assets of the Debtors’ estates in the event of termination of the RSA other than upon consummation of the transactions contemplated therein and herein as of the Effective Date.

353

Exit Financing

Exit Facility: Except as otherwise provided in this section, as a condition precedent to the Effective Date, the Debtors shall enter into the Exit Facility, a senior secured revolving reserve-based lending credit facility to be arranged and provided by the Lenders under the Prepetition RBL Credit Agreement in the maximum amount of $500 million, as set forth in the Exit Facility Term Sheet, or otherwise on terms acceptable to the Debtors, the Plan Sponsor and the Prepetition RBL Agent. To the extent not paid in cash, holders of RBL Claims and Refinanced DIP Claims shall receive a distribution of commitments under the Exit Facility (in the manner set forth in the Exit Facility Term Sheet) in exchange for such RBL and Refinanced DIP Claims, on a Pro Rata basis. If the Exit Facility is not consummated, the Debtors shall enter into an alternative senior secured revolving reserve-based lending credit facility in form and substance acceptable to the Debtors and the Plan Sponsor; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that, if the Exit Facility is not consummated, the RBL Claims shall be paid in full in cash on the Effective Date.

New Exit Note: If the Plan Sponsor and the Debtors determine that post-emergence liquidity from the Exit Facility, the Backstop Commitment, the Rights Offering, and the Incremental Equity Investment is insufficient (including to account for any potential contingency), the Plan Sponsor may, at its sole option, provide the New Exit Note in an amount and on terms to be agreed upon between the Plan Sponsor and the Debtors. If and only if Class 5 is entitled to participate in the Rights Offering, and the Rights Offering is fully subscribed in the amount of $100 million, Noteholders that subscribe to the maximum amount available to them in connection with the Rights Offering shall be permitted to participate in funding their pro rata share (calculated as the proportion that the New Common Stock to be issued to such holders pursuant to their participation in the Rights Offering bears to the aggregate amount of New Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan) of up to 49% of the aggregate amount of the New Exit Note.

The Debtors shall timely seek approval from the Bankruptcy Court to obtain relief necessary to effectuate the Exit Facility and the New Exit Note, as applicable.

Third Party

Investor(s)

EXECUTION VERSION

LEGACY RESERVES, INC.

MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

	Company Capital Structure:		The Plan of Reorganization contemplates a minimum initial equity value of $[TBD] million, which for purposes hereof will consist of [TBD]¹ million shares (“Initial Share Count”) at $10 per share; such equity value and Initial Share Count would be adjusted based on the amount of new equity funded on Emergence.
	Incentive Compensation:		There will be reserved, exclusively for Employees, a pool of equity (such reserve, the “MIP Pool”) having a value equal to: (i) 5.0% of the Initial Share Count granted as soon as administratively practicable (but in no event more than 60 days following Emergence) in accordance with this Term Sheet (the “Emergence Awards”) in the following form: (A) 2.5% of the Initial Share Count in Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), and (B) 2.5% of the Initial Share Count in stock options with a strike price of $10.00 per share (“Options”); (ii) 5.0% of the Initial Share Count will be reserved for potential future issuance as determined by the new board of directors.² Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise approved by the Plan Sponsor, for purposes of the MIP Pool, the Initial Share Count will not include any: i) shares issued in excess of [70] million shares (i.e. for shares issued in respect of equity capitalization in excess of $[700] million) or ii) shares issued to Plan Sponsor in respect of its new money funding in excess of 20 million shares (i.e. for shares issued to Plan Sponsor in excess of $200 million funded).
	Vesting:		Normal Vesting. Subject to an Employee’s continued employment through each applicable vesting date, Emergence Awards will vest 25% on each of the first four (4) anniversaries of the Emergence Date. RSUs will be settled as soon as practicable following vesting. Accelerated Vesting Prior to a Change in Control. If the Employee is terminated by the Company without Cause, by the Employee for Good Reason or due to death or Disability, and such termination occurs outside of the Change in Control period described below, the Employee will become vested in the Emergence Awards that would have vested if the Employee’s employment had continued for an additional 12 months.

¹ NTD: To be equal to the number of shares with aggregate value equal to plan value.

599

			Accelerated Vesting Upon a Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control (as will be defined in the applicable equity plan and excluding any acquisition of the Company by Plan Sponsor and any of its affiliates) following which the Employee is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Employee for Good Reason within 24 months following the Change in Control, 100% of an Employee’s unvested Emergence Awards will accelerate and vest. The definitions of “Cause,” “Without Cause,” “Good Reason” and “Disability” will be on customary terms for similar management arrangements.
	Forfeiture:		100% of any unvested Options or unvested RSUs (determined after giving effect to any accelerated vesting set forth above) will be forfeited for no consideration upon any termination of employment and, subject to the next sentence, the Employee will be entitled to retain any vested Options that are not yet exercised or any vested RSUs that are not yet settled, and any shares previously received upon exercise of Options or settlement of RSUs, subject to the exercise of the repurchase rights (discussed below). All Options, whether or not vested, will be forfeited for no consideration upon a termination for Cause.
	Other Terms:		The option grants will be subject to customary adjustments with regard to any extraordinary dividends paid. The Options will expire on the earlier of (a) the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Emergence Date or (b) 180 days following the Employee’s termination of employment (other than for Cause) or one year following his or her Death or Disability. Unvested RSUs will be entitled to dividends on a pro rata basis with outstanding shares and such dividend payments will be retained and will be subject to vesting provisions set forth above. Upon the exercise of an Option or the settlement of RSUs, Employees may elect to pay the exercise price and tax withholding through the withholding of shares by the Company. If the Company is not publicly traded on a national securities exchange or over the counter market, the Company will agree to provide fair market valuations to facilitate the exercise of Options.
	Executive Investments:		The Executives will have the opportunity to invest in the common stock in a manner to be agreed by the Executives, the Company and Plan Sponsor.
	Employment Agreements:		The Company will enter into amended and restated employment agreements with Executives on the same terms as set forth in the existing agreements, subject to conforming changes associated with this MIP and Change in Control definitions. For the avoidance of doubt, the reorganization of the Company will not constitute a Change in Control under the applicable employment agreements.

600

	Company Repurchase Rights:		• The Company shall have the right to repurchase, upon an Employee’s termination of employment and for Fair Market Value, any common shares acquired upon exercise of the Options or in settlement of the RSUs. The repurchase right will expire on the 12-month anniversary of the Employee’s termination of employment or in connection with an initial public offering or other listing on a national securities exchange. • The repurchase price will be paid in cash unless otherwise prohibited by the terms of any loan agreement or other financing agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party, in which case, in lieu of cash payment, the Company may at its discretion issue to the Executive a promissory note bearing simple interest at the prime rate and containing such other reasonable terms and conditions as may be determined by the Company. • “Fair Market Value” means the fair market value of the applicable security as of the Employee’s termination of employment, as determined by the new board of directors in good faith and without applying any discounts for minority interest, illiquidity or other similar factors.
	Allocations		• Allocations among individual Employees to be determined by mutual agreement of Plan Sponsor and the Company.

(d) Asset Sales or Disposition. If any Loan Party sells or disposes of any Oil and Gas Property (other than in the ordinary course of business) while a Borrowing Base Deficiency or an Event of Default exists, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall promptly make a prepayment in an amount equal to the (i) in the case of a Borrowing Base Deficiency, the amount of net proceeds from such sale so that no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, or (ii) if there is an Event of Default, all net proceeds of such sale, in each case no later than the next succeeding Business Day after the net cash proceeds therefor are received by such Loan Party. (e) Consolidated Cash Balance. If, as of the end of any Business Day, the Consolidated Cash Balance of the Loan Parties exceeds $20 million, the Loan Parties shall, within one Business Day thereof, pay such amounts to be applied in accordance with the terms hereof. All mandatory prepayments will be applied to prepay outstanding Revolving Loans (without a permanent reduction to the Maximum Revolving Commitments), including any accrued and unpaid interest of such Revolving Loans being prepaid, and, in the case of clauses (a) through (d) above, to cash-collateralize Letters of Credit outstanding under the RBL Exit Facility.
