1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
2. AMENDMENTS TO THE INDENTURE. Pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Indenture, the Indenture is amended as follows:
(a) Section 4.25 of the Indenture is amended and restated to read as follows:
“The Company shall for all fiscal quarters of the Company commencing after September 30, 2022, on or prior to the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2022, enter into and maintain at all times hedge arrangements for the consecutive 12 calendar month period commencing from any such last day of any such fiscal quarter in respect of Hydrocarbons the net notional volumes for which are no less than, for each calendar month during such consecutive 12 calendar months as determined with reference to the most recent reserve report required to be delivered by Section 4.15(a)(5), 50% of the reasonably expected output of production of Hydrocarbons of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries from their PDP reserves (the initial hedge arrangements entered into in connection with the Acquisition Closing Date, the “Initial Hedge”, and together with the hedge arrangements entered into pursuant to this Section 4.25, the “Xxxxxx”), provided, however, that the Xxxxxx for the fiscal quarter beginning October 1, 2023, shall be entered into on or before September 1, 2022, and provided further, that the Noteholders hereby waive compliance with Section 4.25 solely from the date hereof through October 1, 2022.

Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waived and released all such liability. The waiver and release were part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
