Joint Preparation; Construction of Indemnities and Releases. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been reviewed and negotiated by sophisticated parties with access to legal counsel and no rule of construction shall apply hereto or thereto which would require or allow any Loan Document to be construed against any party because of its role in drafting such Loan Document. All indemnification and release provisions of this Agreement shall be construed broadly (and not narrowly) in favor of the Persons receiving indemnification or being released.
The Loans and Letters of Credit
Commitment to Lend; Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make loans to Borrower (herein called such Lender’s “Loans”) upon Borrower’s request from time to time during the Commitment Period, provided that (a) subject to Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.6, all Lenders are requested to make Loans of the same Type in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares and as part of the same Borrowing, (b) after giving effect to such Loans, the aggregate amount of all Loans by such Lender does not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (c) after giving effect to such Loans, Facility Usage does not exceed the Borrowing Base in effect at such time. The aggregate amount of all Loans in any Borrowing must be greater than or equal to $1,000,000 or any higher integral multiple of $1,000,000, or must equal the remaining availability under the Borrowing Base. Borrower may have no more than three (3) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans outstanding at any time. The obligation of Borrower to repay to each Lender the aggregate amount of all Loans made by such Lender, together with interest accruing in connection therewith, shall be evidenced by a single promissory note (herein called such Lender’s “Note”) made by Borrower payable to the order of such Lender in the form of Exhibit A with appropriate insertions. It is expressly understood that Lenders’ commitment to make Loans is determined only by reference to its Commitment and the Borrowing Base from time to time in effect, and the aggregate face amount of the Notes and the amount specified in the Security Documents are specified at a greater amount only for the convenience of the parties to avoid the necessity of preparing and recording supplements to the Security Documents. The amount of principal owing on any Lender’s Note at any given time shall be the aggregate amount of all Loans theretofore made by such Lender minus all payments of principal theretofore received by such Lender on such Note. Interest on each Note shall accrue and be due and payable as provided herein and therein. Each Note shall be due and payable as provided herein and therein, and shall be due and payable in full on the Revolver Maturity Date. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow hereunder.
Requests for Loans. Borrower must give to Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of any requested Borrowing of new Loans to be advanced by Lenders. Each such notice constitutes a “Borrowing Notice” hereunder and must:
specify (i) the aggregate amount of any such Borrowing of new Base Rate Loans, and the date on which such Base Rate Loans are to be advanced, or (ii) the aggregate amount of any such Borrowing of new Eurodollar Loans, the date on which such Eurodollar Loans are to be advanced (which shall be the first day of the Interest Period which is to apply thereto), and the length of the applicable Interest Period, and the Consolidated Cash Balance (without regard to the requested Borrowing) and the pro forma Consolidated Cash Balance (giving effect to the requested Borrowing); and
be received by Administrative Agent not later than noon, New York time, on (i) the first Business Day preceding the day on which Base Rate Loans are to be made, or (ii) the third Business Day preceding the day on which Eurodollar Loans are to be made.

Each such written request or confirmation must be made in the form and substance of the “Borrowing Notice” attached hereto as Exhibit B, duly completed. Each such telephonic request shall be deemed a representation, warranty, acknowledgment and agreement by Borrower as to the matters which are required to be set out in such written confirmation. Upon receipt of any such Borrowing Notice, Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the terms thereof. If all conditions precedent to such new Loans have been met, each Lender will on the date requested promptly remit to Administrative Agent, at Administrative Agent’s Office, the amount of such Lender’s new Loan in immediately available funds, and upon receipt of such funds, unless to its actual knowledge any conditions precedent to such Loan have been neither met nor waived as provided herein, Administrative Agent shall promptly make such Loans available to Borrower. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume in its discretion that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with this Section 2.2 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.
Continuations and Conversions of Existing Loans. Borrower may make the following elections with respect to Loans already outstanding: to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans, to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and to continue Eurodollar Loans beyond the expiration of such Interest Period by designating a new Interest Period to take effect at the time of such expiration. In making such elections, Borrower may combine existing Loans made pursuant to separate Borrowings into one new Borrowing or divide existing Loans made pursuant to one Borrowing into separate new Borrowings, provided that Borrower may have no more than three (3) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans outstanding at any time. To make any such election, Borrower must give to Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of any such Conversion or Continuation of existing Loans, with a separate notice given for each new Borrowing. Each such notice constitutes a “Continuation/Conversion Notice” hereunder and must:
specify the existing Loans which are to be Continued or Converted;
specify (i) the aggregate amount of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans into which such existing Loans are to be continued or converted and the date on which such Continuation or Conversion is to occur, or (ii) the aggregate amount of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans into which such existing Loans are to be continued or converted, the date on which such Continuation or Conversion is to occur (which shall be the first day of the Interest Period which is to apply to such Eurodollar Loans), and the length of the applicable Interest Period; and
|

|
be received by Administrative Agent not later than noon, New York time, on (i) the day on which any such Continuation or Conversion to Base Rate Loans is to occur, or (ii) the third Business Day preceding the day on which any such Continuation or Conversion to Eurodollar Loans is to occur.
Each such written request or confirmation must be made in the form and substance of the “Continuation/Conversion Notice” attached hereto as Exhibit C, duly completed. Each such telephonic request shall be deemed a representation, warranty, acknowledgment and agreement by Borrower as to the matters which are required to be set out in such written confirmation. Upon receipt of any such Continuation/Conversion Notice, Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the terms thereof. Each Continuation/Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower. During the continuance of any Default, Borrower may not make any election to convert existing Loans into Eurodollar Loans or continue existing Loans as Eurodollar Loans. If (due to the existence of a Default or for any other reason) Borrower is prohibited hereby from giving any Continuation/Conversion Notice with respect to a Borrowing of existing Eurodollar Loans at least three days prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Eurodollar Loans shall automatically be converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of such Interest Period. No new funds shall be repaid by Borrower or advanced by any Lender in connection with any Continuation or Conversion of existing Loans pursuant to this section, and no such Continuation or Conversion shall be deemed to be a new advance of funds for any purpose; such Continuations and Conversions merely constitute a change in the interest rate applicable to already outstanding Loans.
Use of Proceeds. This Agreement will be available (i) to provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit, (ii) to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the merger of the Contributing Parties into Borrower pursuant to the Merger Agreement on the Closing Date, (iii) to pay fees, commissions and expenses in connection with (x) this Agreement, (y) the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (z) the initial public offering of equity interests in the MLP, (iviii) to finance ongoing working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes (including financing the LCS Acquisition and financing other acquisitions of certain Oil and Gas Properties) and (viv) for permitted Restricted Payments. In no event shall the funds from any Loan be used directly or indirectly by any Person for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes or for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of purchasing, acquiring or carrying any “margin stock” (as such term is defined in Regulation U promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or to extend credit to others directly or indirectly for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock. Borrower represents and warrants that Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of Borrower’s important activities, in the business of extending credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying such margin stock. Proceeds of Loans borrowed under this Agreement were previously used (i) to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the merger of the Contributing Parties into Borrower pursuant to the Merger Agreement on the Closing Date, (ii) to finance the LCS Acquisition and the PES Acquisition, and (iii) to pay fees, commissions and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the initial public offering of equity interests in the MLP.
Interest Rates. Subject to subsection (b) below, (i) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on each day outstanding at the Adjusted Base Rate in effect on such day and (ii) each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on each day during the related Interest Period at the related Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in effect on such day.

Default Rate. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under Section 8.1(a), (b), (j)(i), (j)(ii), or (j)(iii), all outstanding Loans shall bear interest at the applicable Default Rate. In addition, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than under Section 8.1(a), (b), (j)(i), (j)(ii), or (j)(iii)), Required Lenders may, by notice to Borrower, elect to have the outstanding Loans bear interest at the applicable Default Rate, whereupon such Loans shall bear interest at the applicable Default Rate until the earlier of (i) the first date thereafter upon which there shall be no Event of Default continuing and (ii) the date upon which Required Lenders shall have rescinded such notice.
Commitment Fees. In consideration of each Lender’s commitment to make Loans, Borrower will pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender commitment fees, determined on a daily basis by applying the applicable Commitment Fee Rate to such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Unused Borrowing Base determined at the end of each day during the Commitment Period. Each commitment fee shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and at the end of the Commitment Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no commitment fee shall accrue on any Defaulting Lender’s Percentage Share of the Unused Borrowing Base and no Defaulting Lender shall be paid a commitment fee hereunder while it is a Defaulting Lender.
Borrowing Base Increases. As a condition precedent to Borrower’s acceptance of (and to the effectiveness of) any increase to the Borrowing Base determined by the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.9, Borrower will pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, a Borrowing Base increase fee in an amount to be mutually agreed upon by the Lenders and Borrower based on then prevailing market conditions. The Borrowing Base will not be increased and no Borrowing Base increase fee will be incurred with respect to any proposed increase in the Borrowing Base unless Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent written notice that Borrower accepts the proposed increase (or a portion thereof) and confirms the amount of the Borrowing Base increase fee mutually agreed upon by the Lenders and the Borrower.
Payment Dates. On each Interest Payment Date relating to Base Rate Loans, Borrower shall pay to the Lenders all unpaid interest which has accrued on the Base Rate Loans to but not including such Interest Payment Date. On each Interest Payment Date relating to a Eurodollar Loan, Borrower shall pay to Lenders all unpaid interest which has accrued on such Eurodollar Loan to but not including such Interest Payment Date.
Optional Prepayments. Upon delivery of a Repayment Notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower may, (a) upon one Business Days’ notice to Administrative Agent with respect to any Base Rate Loan and (b) upon three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, from time to time and without premium or penalty prepay the Notes, in whole or in part, provided (i) that the aggregate amounts of all partial prepayments of principal on the Notes equals $1,000,000 or any higher integral multiple of $100,000, (ii) that Borrower does not make any prepayments which would reduce the unpaid principal balance of any Loan to less than $100,000 without first either (1) terminating this Agreement or (2) providing assurance satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its discretion that Lenders’ legal rights under the Loan Documents are in no way adversely affected by such reduction, and (iii) that if Borrower prepays any Eurodollar Loan on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, it shall pay to Lenders any amounts due under Section 3.4. Each prepayment of principal of a Eurodollar Loan (but not a Base Rate Loan) under this section shall be accompanied by all interest then accrued and unpaid on the principal so prepaid. Any principal or interest prepaid pursuant to this section shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all payments otherwise required to be paid under the Loan Documents at the time of such prepayment

If at any time the Facility Usage exceeds the Maximum Credit Amount (whether due to a reduction in the Maximum Credit Amount in accordance with this Agreement, or otherwise), Borrower shall immediately prepay the principal of the Loans (and after all Loans are repaid in full, if there remains an excess, Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations in accordance with Section 2.16(a)) in an amount at least equal to such excess.
If at any time the Facility Usage is less than the Maximum Credit Amount but in excess of the Borrowing Base (such excess being herein called a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”), Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after Administrative Agent gives notice of such fact to Borrower, give notice to Administrative Agent electing to eliminate the Borrowing Base Deficiency as provided in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) below, or in any combination of clauses (i), (ii), and (iii); whereupon Borrower shall be obligated to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency in such manner:
on or before the date 60 days after Borrower’s receipt of notice of the Borrowing Base Deficiency, prepay the principal of the Loans in an aggregate amount at least equal to such Borrowing Base Deficiency (or, if the Loans have been paid in full, Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations as required under Section 2.16(a)), such prepayment to be made in full within thirty (30) days after the date that such notice of Borrowing Base Deficiency is received by Borrower from Administrative Agent, or
on or before the date 60 days after Borrower’s receipt of notice of the Borrowing Base Deficiency, prepay the principal of the Loans (and after all Loans are repaid in full, Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations in accordance with Section 2.16(a)) in up to five (5) monthly installments in an aggregate amount at least equal to such Borrowing Base Deficiency, with each such installment equal to or in excess of one-fifth of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, and with the first such installment to be paid one month after the giving of such notice and the subsequent installments to be due and payable at one month intervals thereafter until such Borrowing Base Deficiency has been eliminated; provided, however, Borrower shall have demonstrated to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent on or before the date of the first such payment that Borrower has sufficient available monthly cash from its Projected Oil and Gas Production to make such payments, or
provide Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent with deeds of trust, mortgages, chattel mortgages, security agreements, financing statements and other security documents in form and substance similar to the Security Documents previously delivered to Administrative Agent and otherwise satisfactory to Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, granting, confirming, and perfecting first and prior liens or security interests in collateral acceptable to the Lenders, to the extent needed to allow Lenders to increase the Borrowing Base to an amount which eliminates such Borrowing Base Deficiency, and such Security Documents shall be executed and delivered to Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent within thirty (30) days after Administrative Agent confirms to Borrower what Collateral will be required. If, prior to any such specification by Administrative Agent, Lenders determine that the giving of such security documents will not serve to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency, then, within five (5) Business Days after receiving notice of such determination from Administrative Agent, Borrower will elect to make, and thereafter make, the prepayments specified in either of the preceding subsections (i) or (ii) of this subsection (b).

Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Repayment Notice in connection with any amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.7. Each prepayment of principal under this Section 2.7 shall be accompanied by all interest then accrued and unpaid on the principal so prepaid. Any principal or interest prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all payments otherwise required to be paid under the Loan Documents at the time of such prepayment.
(e)On or before the last Business Day of each calendar month until the Sweep Termination Date, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the greater of 100% of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for the previous calendar month, as reflected in the Excess Cash Flow Report.
(f)Upon receipt of payments received in connection with the Hedge Close‑Outs, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such payments.
(g)If, on the last Business Day of any week (or on any Business Day if a Default, Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency has occurred and is continuing) (A) there is outstanding Facility Usage and (B) there is any Excess Cash as of the end of such Business Day, then the Credit Parties shall, within one Business Day, (1) prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such Excess Cash, and (2) if any Excess Cash remains after prepaying all of the Loans and there remains LC Obligations, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as Cash Collateral. To the extent that there are funds on deposit in or credit to, any deposit account or other account maintained with the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) or any Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) on any date that the Credit Parties are required to prepay Loans (and/or Cash Collateralize LC Obligations, as applicable) pursuant to this Section, the Credit Parties hereby irrevocably authorize and instruct the Administrative Agent or such Lender to apply such funds to the prepayment of Loans (and/or Cash Collateralization of LC Obligations, as applicable).
Initial Borrowing Base . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during the period commencing on the TenthTwelfth Amendment Effective Date and ending on the effective date of the first Determination Date or adjustment of the Borrowing Base after the TenthTwelfth Amendment Effective Date, the amount of the Borrowing Base shall be, subject to adjustment as provided for herein, $140,000,000.125,000,000.
Subsequent Determinations of Borrowing Base. By each March 31 and September 30, of each year, beginning March 31, 2012,2018, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent all information, reports and data which Administrative Agent reasonably requests concerning Restricted Persons’ businesses and properties (including their Oil and Gas Properties and interests and the reserves and production relating thereto), together with the Engineering Report described in Section 6.2(d) or (e), as applicable. In addition, Borrower and Required Lenders may each request one additional Borrowing Base redetermination during the period between each scheduled Borrowing Base determination. Additionally, Administrative Agent and Required Lenders may request an additional Borrowing Base redetermination (i) in connection with any disposition to a third party of Oil and Gas Properties of Borrower the Borrowing Base value of which exceeds five percent (5%) of the then current Borrowing Base, and (ii) in connection with any Liquidation of a Hedging Contract which would have the effect of reducing the Borrowing Base by an amount in excess of five percent (5%) of the then current Borrowing Base. In connection with any redetermination of the Borrowing Base, Borrower will furnish to each Lender all information, reports and data which Administrative Agent reasonably requests concerning Restricted

|
Persons’ businesses and properties (including their Oil and Gas Properties and interests and the reserves and production relating thereto). No later than thirty (30) days after receiving such information, reports and data, Administrative Agent and Required Lenders shall agree upon an amount for the Borrowing Base (provided that all Lenders must agree to any increase in the Borrowing Base). If Required Lenders (or all Lenders in the case of an increase in the Borrowing Base) have not agreed within the thirty day period after receiving such information, reports and data on a Borrowing Base, the Administrative Agent shall poll Lenders to ascertain the highest Borrowing Base then acceptable to the Required Lenders (or all Lenders in the case of an increase in the Borrowing Base) and such amount shall then become the Borrowing Base. Administrative Agent shall by notice to Borrower designate such amount as the new Borrowing Base available to Borrower hereunder, which designation shall take effect immediately on the date such notice is sent (herein called a “Determination Date”) and shall remain in effect until but not including the next date as of which the Borrowing Base is redetermined. If Borrower does not furnish all such information, reports and data by the date specified in the first sentence of this section, Administrative Agent may nonetheless designate the Borrowing Base at any amount which Required Lenders determine and may redesignate the Borrowing Base from time to time thereafter until Administrative Agent receives all such information, reports and data, whereupon Administrative Agent and Required Lenders shall designate a new Borrowing Base as described above (provided that all Lenders must agree to any increase in the Borrowing Base). Administrative Agent and Required Lenders shall determine the amount of the Borrowing Base based upon the loan collateral value which they in their discretion assign to the various Oil and Gas Properties of the Restricted Persons at the time in question and based upon such other credit factors (including without limitation the assets, liabilities, cash flow, hedged and unhedged exposure to price, foreign exchange rate, and interest rate changes, business, properties, prospects, management and ownership of Borrower and its Affiliates) as they in their discretion deem significant. It is expressly understood that Lenders and Administrative Agent have no obligation to agree upon or designate the Borrowing Base at any particular amount and that Lenders’ commitments to advance funds under the Loans is determined by reference to the Borrowing Base from time to time in effect and such Lender’s Commitment, which Borrowing Base shall be used for calculating commitment fees under Section 2.5(c) and, to the extent permitted by Law and regulatory authorities, for the purposes of capital adequacy determination and reimbursements under Section 3.2.
Borrower'’s Reduction of Borrowing Base. Until the termination of the Commitment Period, Borrower may, during the fifteen-day period beginning on each Determination Date (each such period being called in this section an “Option Period”), reduce the Borrowing Base from the amount designated by Administrative Agent to any lesser amount. To exercise such option, Borrower must within an Option Period send notice to Administrative Agent of the reduced amount of the Borrowing Base chosen by Borrower at least 3 Business Days prior to the effective date of any such Borrowing Base reduction. If Borrower does not affirmatively exercise this option during an Option Period, the Borrowing Base shall be the amount designated by Administrative Agent. Any election by Borrower of a reduced Borrowing Base shall continue in effect until the next date as of which the Borrowing Base is redetermined.
Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may at any time during the Commitment Period request LC Issuer to issue, increase the amount of or otherwise amend or extend, one or more Letters of Credit, provided that, after taking such Letter of Credit into account:
the Facility Usage does not exceed the Borrowing Base at such time; and
the aggregate amount of LC Obligations at such time does not exceed the LC Sublimit;
|
|
Mid-Con Energy Properties, LLC Compiled Credit Agreement |
|
32 |
|
the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (as extended, if applicable) is prior to the earliest to occur of (i) 12 months after the issuance thereof, and (ii) the Letter of Credit Termination Date;
such Letter of Credit is not directly or indirectly used to assure payment of or otherwise support any Indebtedness of any Person other than Indebtedness of any Restricted Person;
the issuance of such Letter of Credit will be in compliance with all applicable governmental restrictions, policies, and guidelines and will not subject LC Issuer to any cost that is not reimbursable under Article III;
the form and terms of such Letter of Credit are acceptable to LC Issuer in its discretion; and
all other conditions in this Agreement to the issuance of such Letter of Credit have been satisfied.
LC Issuer will honor any such request if the foregoing conditions (a) through (g) (the “LC Conditions”) have been met as of the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. LC Issuer may choose to honor any such request for any Letter of Credit that does not meet all the LC Conditions, but has no obligation to do so and may refuse to issue any requested Letter of Credit that does not meet the LC Conditions for any reason that LC Issuer in its sole discretion deems relevant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, LC Issuer shall not at any time be obligated to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit if any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless LC Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to LC Issuer (in its discretion) with Borrower or such Lender to eliminate LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued .
Borrower may also at any time during the Commitment Period request that LC Issuer extend the expiration date of an existing Letter of Credit or modify an existing Letter of Credit (other than an increase) and LC Issuer will honor such request if the LC Conditions set forth in subsection (c) of this Section 2.11 are met and no Default exists at the time of such request; provided that in the case of any such modification (other than an increase), LC Issuer shall have approved such modification.
Requesting Letters of Credit(a).
Borrower must make written application for any Letter of Credit or amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit at least 5 Business Days (or such shorter period as LC Issuer may in its discretion from time to time agree) before the date on which Borrower desires for LC Issuer to issue such Letter of Credit. By making any such written application, unless otherwise expressly stated therein, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that the LC Conditions described in Section 2.11 (other than Section 2.11(f)) will be met as of the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each such written application for a Letter of Credit must be made in writing in the form customarily used by LC Issuer, the terms and provisions of which, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms hereof, are hereby incorporated herein by reference (or in such other form as may mutually be agreed upon by LC Issuer and Borrower).

If Borrower requests in any applicable LC Application, LC Issuer may, in its discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit LC Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each 12 month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such 12 month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by LC Issuer, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to LC Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) LC Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that LC Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (i) LC Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.11 or otherwise), or (ii) it has received notice (which notice may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is 5 Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from Administrative Agent that Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing LC Issuer not to permit such extension.
Two Business Days after the LC Conditions for a Letter of Credit have been met as described in Section 2.11 (or if LC Issuer otherwise desires to issue such Letter of Credit earlier), LC Issuer will issue such Letter of Credit at LC Issuer’s office in New York, New York. If any provisions of any LC Application conflict with any provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control. Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify LC Issuer.
Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of a Restricted Person other than Borrower, Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse LC Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the benefit of such other Restricted Persons inures to the benefit of Borrower, and that Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such other Restricted Persons
Reimbursement and Participations.
Reimbursement by Borrower. Each Matured LC Obligation shall constitute a loan by LC Issuer to Borrower. Borrower promises to pay to LC Issuer, or to LC Issuer’s order, on demand, the full amount of each Matured LC Obligation, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse LC Issuer for each Matured LC Obligation shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including any LC Application) under all circumstances, including the following: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), LC Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand,

certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; (iv) any payment by LC Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that the absolute and unconditional nature of Borrower’s obligations under this section to reimburse LC Issuer for each drawing under a Letter of Credit will not be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of LC Issuer. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse LC Issuer from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by Borrower that are caused by LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.
Letter of Credit Advances. If the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit makes a draft or other demand for payment thereunder then Borrower may, during the interval between the making thereof and the honoring thereof by LC Issuer, request Lenders to make Loans to Borrower in the amount of such draft or demand, which Loans shall be made concurrently with LC Issuer’s payment of such draft or demand and shall be immediately used by LC Issuer to repay the amount of the resulting Matured LC Obligation. Such a request by Borrower shall be made in compliance with all of the provisions hereof, provided that for the purposes of calculating Facility Usage, the amount of such Loans shall be considered, but the amount of the Matured LC Obligation to be concurrently paid by such Loans shall not be considered.
Participation by Lenders. LC Issuer irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Lender, and, to induce LC Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from LC Issuer, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated and for such Lender’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such Lender’s Percentage Share of LC Issuer’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each Matured LC Obligation paid by LC Issuer thereunder. Each Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with LC Issuer that, if a Matured LC Obligation is paid under any Letter of Credit for which LC Issuer is not reimbursed in full by Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the related LC Application (including any reimbursement by means of concurrent Loans or by the application of Cash Collateral), such Lender shall (in all circumstances and without set-off or counterclaim) pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of the LC Issuer on demand, in immediately available funds at Administrative Agent’s Office, such Lender’s Percentage Share of such Matured LC Obligation (or any portion thereof which has not been reimbursed by Borrower). Each Lender’s obligation to pay Administrative Agent, for the account of the LC Issuer, pursuant to the terms of this subsection is irrevocable and unconditional. If any amount required to be paid by any Lender pursuant to this subsection is paid by such Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, LC Issuer shall in addition to such amount be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Federal Funds Rate. If any amount required to be paid by any Lender pursuant to this subsection is not paid by such Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, LC Issuer shall in addition to such amount be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.

Distributions to Participants. Whenever LC Issuer has in accordance with this section received from any Lender payment of such Lender’s Percentage Share of any Matured LC Obligation, if LC Issuer thereafter receives any payment of such Matured LC Obligation or any payment of interest thereon (whether directly from Borrower or by application of Cash Collateral or otherwise, and excluding only interest for any period prior to LC Issuer’s demand that such Lender make such payment of its Percentage Share), LC Issuer will distribute to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Percentage Share of the amounts so received by LC Issuer and Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender the amounts so received by Administrative Agent from LC Issuer; provided, however, that if any such payment received by LC Issuer must thereafter be returned by LC Issuer, such Lender shall return such payment to Administrative Agent who shall promptly return such payment to LC Issuer.
Calculations. A written advice setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts owing under this section, submitted by LC Issuer to Administrative Agent who in turn shall submit such written advice to Borrower or any Lender from time to time, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amounts thereof.
Defaulting Lender Collateral. If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Borrower may from time to time provide Cash Collateral to LC Issuer, in an amount equal to the Percentage Shares of all Defaulting Lenders in the LC Obligations (the “Defaulting Lenders’ Percentage”), to secure the obligations of such Defaulting Lenders under Section 2.13 of this Agreement. Such Cash Collateral shall be used to reimburse the Defaulting Lenders’ Percentage of drawings under Letters of Credit and other obligations owing by Defaulting Lenders to LC Issuer. In the event any such Defaulting Lender is replaced in accordance with Section 3.7, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, LC Issuer shall release to Borrower, at Borrower'’s written request, any amounts held as Cash Collateral that are attributable to such Defaulting Lender'’s Percentage Share of the LC Obligations.
Letter of Credit Fees. In consideration of LC Issuer’s issuance of any Letter of Credit, Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of all Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares, a letter of credit issuance fee equal to the Letter of Credit Fee Rate then in effect (which shall be increased by two percent (2%) per annum during any period in which interest on the Loans would accrue at the Default Rate), and (b) to such LC Issuer for its own account, a letter of credit fronting fee at a rate equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum times the face amount of such Letter of Credit (but in no event less than $500 per annum); provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Percentages Share allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.18(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to LC Issuer for its own account (except such fee on such balance shall be proportionately reduced to the extent Borrower has Cash Collateralized such balance or a part thereof). In addition, Borrower will pay to LC Issuer LC Issuer’s customary fees for issuance, amendment and drawing of each Letter of Credit. The letter of credit fee and the letter of credit fronting fee will be calculated based on the face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding on each day at the above applicable rate and will be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December.

Drafts and Demands. LC Issuer is authorized and instructed to accept and pay drafts and demands for payment under any Letter of Credit without requiring, and without responsibility for, any determination as to the existence of any event giving rise to said draft, either at the time of acceptance or payment or thereafter. LC Issuer is under no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone presenting such a draft or making such a demand (whether by authenticated SWIFT or otherwise) as the officer, representative or agent of any beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, and payment by LC Issuer to any such beneficiary when requested by any such purported officer, representative or agent is hereby authorized and approved. Borrower releases each Lender Party from, and agrees to hold each Lender Party harmless and indemnified against, any liability or claim in connection with or arising out of the subject matter of this section, which indemnity shall apply whether or not any such liability or claim is in any way or to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent act or omission of any kind by any Lender Party, provided only that no Lender Party shall be entitled to indemnification for that portion, if any, of any liability or claim which is proximately caused by its own individual gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final judgment.
Extension of Maturity. If the maturity of any Letter of Credit is extended by its terms or by Law or governmental action, if any extension of the maturity or time for presentation of drafts or any other modification of the terms of any Letter of Credit is made at the request of any Restricted Person, or if the amount of any Letter of Credit is increased at the request of any Restricted Person, this Agreement shall be binding upon all Restricted Persons with respect to such Letter of Credit as so extended, increased or otherwise modified, with respect to drafts and property covered thereby, and with respect to any action taken by LC Issuer, LC Issuer’s correspondents, or any Lender Party in accordance with such extension, increase or other modification.
Transferees of Letters of Credit. If any Letter of Credit provides that it is transferable, LC Issuer shall have no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone appearing as transferee of such Letter of Credit, nor shall LC Issuer be charged with responsibility of any nature or character for the validity or correctness of any transfer or successive transfers, and payment by LC Issuer to any purported transferee or transferees as determined by LC Issuer is hereby authorized and approved, and Borrower releases each Lender Party from, and agrees to hold each Lender Party harmless and indemnified against, any liability or claim in connection with or arising out of the foregoing, which indemnity shall apply whether or not any such liability or claim is in any way or to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent act or omission of any kind by any Lender Party, provided only that no Lender Party shall be entitled to indemnification for that portion, if any, of any liability or claim which is proximately caused by its own individual gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final judgment.
Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of Administrative Agent or LC Issuer (i) if LC Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a Matured LC Obligation, or (ii) if, as of 30 days prior to the Revolver Maturity Date, any LC Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all LC Obligations. If, after the making of all mandatory prepayments required under Section 2.7, the outstanding LC Obligations will exceed the Borrowing Base, then in addition to prepayment of the entire principal balance of the Loans required
|
|
Mid-Con Energy Properties, LLC Compiled Credit Agreement |
|
37 |
|
under Section 2.7, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding LC Obligations in an amount equal to such excess. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of Administrative Agent or LC Issuer, Borrower shall deliver Cash Collateral to Administrative Agent in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender. Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or such Lender, for the benefit of Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as Collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.16(c). If at any time Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay or provide to Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16 or Section 2.7, 2.11, 2.18, or 8.3 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific LC Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.
Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.5(h) or (ii) Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Restricted Person shall not be released during the continuance of a Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.16 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.3), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and LC Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 2.2 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.4(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.4(c).

Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)(i)Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.1.
(ii)(ii)Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article III or VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.14), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to LC Issuer hereunder; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent or requested by LC Issuer to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to Lenders or LC Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or LC Issuer against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Matured LC Obligations in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or Matured LC Obligations were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Matured LC Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Matured LC Obligations owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
|
|
Mid-Con Energy Properties, LLC Compiled Credit Agreement |

|
(iii)(iii)Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.5(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.14.
(iv)(iv)Reallocation of Percentage Share to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.13, the “Percentage Share” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the maximum aggregate amount of the obligation to make Loans and participate in Letters of Credit of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the maximum aggregate amount of the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Loans of that Lender.
Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower, Administrative Agent and LC Issuer agree in writing in their discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which conditions may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Percentage Share (without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
General Procedures. Borrower will make each payment which it owes under the Loan Documents to Administrative Agent for the account of Lender to whom such payment is owed. Each such payment must be received by Administrative Agent not later than noon, New York time, on the date such payment becomes due and payable, in lawful money of the United States, without set‑off, deduction or counterclaim, and in immediately available funds. Any payment received by Administrative Agent after such time will be deemed to have been made on the next following Business Day. Should any such payment become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of a payment of principal or past due interest, interest shall accrue and be payable thereon for the period of such extension as provided in the Loan Document under which such payment is due. Each payment under a Loan Document shall be due and payable at the place provided therein and, if no specific place of payment is provided, shall be due

|
and payable as set forth for Administrative Agent on the Lenders Schedule. When Administrative Agent collects or receives money on account of the Obligations, Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute all money so collected or received, and each Lender (or Lender Counterparty, in the case of Lender Hedging Obligations) shall apply all such money so distributed as follows (except as otherwise provided in Section 8.3):
first, for the payment of all Obligations which are then due (and if such money is insufficient to pay all such Obligations, first to any reimbursements due Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under Section 6.9 or 10.4 and then to the partial payment of all other Obligations then due in proportion to the amounts thereof, or as Lender Parties shall otherwise agree);
then for the prepayment of amounts owing under the Loan Documents (other than principal of the Loans) if so specified by Borrower;
then for the prepayment of principal of the Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal so prepaid; and
last, for the payment or prepayment of any other Obligations.
All payments applied to principal or interest on any Loan shall be applied first to any interest then due and payable, then to principal then due and payable, and last to any prepayment of principal and interest in compliance with Section 2.7. Except as otherwise set forth above, all distributions of amounts described in any of the subsections above shall be made by Administrative Agent pro rata to each Lender Party then owed Obligations described in such subsection in proportion to all amounts owed to all Lender Parties which are described in such subsection; provided that if any Lender Party then owes payments to LC Issuer for the purchase of a participation under Section 2.13(c) or to Administrative Agent under Section 10.4, any amounts otherwise distributable under this section to such Lender shall be deemed to belong to LC Issuer or Administrative Agent, respectively, to the extent of such unpaid payments, and Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts to make such unpaid payments rather than distribute such amounts to such Lender Party.
Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any Reserve Requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) or LC Issuer;
subject any Lender or LC Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or LC Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.5 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or LC Issuer); or
|
|
Mid-Con Energy Properties, LLC Compiled Credit Agreement |
|
41 |
|
impose on any Lender or LC Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
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 increase the cost to such Lender or LC Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or LC Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or LC Issuer, Borrower will pay to such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
Capital Requirements. If any Lender or LC Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or LC Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by LC Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or LC Issuer or such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or LC Issuer or such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or LC Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or LC Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or LC Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Capital Reimbursement. If either (a) the introduction or implementation of or the compliance with or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, or (b) the introduction or implementation of or the compliance with any request, directive or guideline from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of Law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any corporation controlling any Lender, then, upon demand by such Lender, Borrower will pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of
|
|
Mid-Con Energy Properties, LLC Compiled Credit Agreement |
|
42 |
|
such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, such additional amount or amounts which such Lender shall determine to be appropriate to compensate such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender in light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that the amount of any such capital would be increased or the rate of return on any such capital would be reduced by or in whole or in part based on the existence of the face amount of such Lender’s Loans, Letters of Credit, participations in Letters of Credit or Commitments under this Agreement.
Illegality. If any Change in Law after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender Party to fund or maintain Eurodollar Loans, then, upon notice by such Lender Party to Borrower and Administrative Agent, (a) Borrower’s right to elect Eurodollar Loans from such Lender Party shall be suspended to the extent and for the duration of such illegality, (b) all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender Party which are then the subject of any Borrowing Notice and which cannot be lawfully funded shall be funded as Base Rate Loans of such Lender Party, and (c) all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender Party shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by Law. If any such Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrower shall pay to such Lender Party such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.4.
Funding Losses. In addition to its other obligations hereunder, Borrower will indemnify each Lender Party against, and reimburse each Lender Party on demand for, any loss or expense incurred or sustained by such Lender Party (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by a Lender Party to fund or maintain Eurodollar Loans), as a result of (a) any payment or prepayment (whether authorized or required hereunder or otherwise) of all or a portion of a Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the day on which the applicable Interest Period ends, (b) any payment or prepayment, whether required hereunder or otherwise, of a Loan made after the delivery, but before the effective date, of a Continuation/Conversion Notice requesting the Continuation of outstanding Eurodollar Loans as, or the Conversion of outstanding Base Rate Loans to, Eurodollar Loans, if such payment or prepayment prevents such Continuation/ Conversion Notice from becoming fully effective, (c) the failure of any Loan to be made or of any Continuation/Conversion Notice requesting the Continuation of outstanding Eurodollar Loans as, or the Conversion of outstanding Base Rate Loans to, Eurodollar Loans to become effective due to any condition precedent not being satisfied or due to any other action or inaction of any Restricted Person, (d) any Conversion (whether authorized or required hereunder or otherwise) of all or any portion of any Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan or into a different Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the day on which the applicable Interest Period ends, or (e) any assignment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.7(b). Such indemnification shall be on an after-tax basis
Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if Borrower shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any 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) Administrative Agent, Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it
|
|
Mid-Con Energy Properties, LLC Compiled Credit Agreement |
|
43 |
|
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.
Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.
Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and LC Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Administrative Agent, such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, 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 as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender or LC Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or LC Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

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 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or
any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Administrative Agent, a Lender or LC Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Administrative Agent, such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent, such Lender or LC Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent, such Lender or LC Issuer in the event Administrative Agent, such Lender or LC Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
(v)(i) If a payment made to a Lender or the LC Issuer under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or the LC Issuer fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender or the LC Issuer shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender or the LC Issuer has complied with such Lender’s, or the LC Issuer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(vi)(ii)Each Lender and the LC Issuer agree that if any documentation, form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to the preceding subsection expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation, form or certification or promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
Alternative Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans:
Administrative Agent determines that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period (any such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error); or
Administrative Agent is advised by Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate 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 Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrower and Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Continuation/Conversion Notice that requests the Conversion of any Borrowing to, or Continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be ineffective and shall be deemed a request to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii) if any Borrowing Notice requests a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, Conversion to or Continuation of Eurodollar Loans.
Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.2, or requires Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.5, 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 (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.5, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.2, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.5, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or if any Lender fails to consent to any amendment or waiver request pursuant to Section 10.1, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.5), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
|
|
Mid-Con Energy Properties, LLC Compiled Credit Agreement |
|
46 |
|
Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.5;
such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Matured LC Obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.4 unless such Lender is a Defaulting Lender) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.2 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.5, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Solely for purposes of effecting the assignment required for a Defaulting Lender under this Section 3.7 and to the extent permitted under applicable Law, each Lender hereby designates and appoints Administrative Agent as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, for and on behalf of and in the name of such Lender to execute, acknowledge and deliver the Assignment and Acceptance required hereunder if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, and such Lender shall be bound thereby as fully and effectively as if such Lender had personally executed, acknowledged and delivered the same.
Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders or LC Issuer hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders or LC Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or LC Issuer, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation

After giving full effect to all Permitted Liens, the Restricted Persons own the net interests in production attributable to the xxxxx and units evaluated in the Initial Engineering Report. Upon delivery of each Engineering Report furnished to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 6.2(d) and (e), the statements made in the preceding sentences of this section and in Section 5.20 shall be true with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties covered by such Engineering Report. After giving full effect to all Permitted Liens, the ownership of such properties does not in the aggregate in any material respect obligate Borrower or any other Restricted Person to bear the costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operations of such properties in an amount materially in excess of the working interest of Borrower in such properties set forth in the Initial Engineering Report. Each Restricted Person has paid all royalties payable under the oil and gas leases to which it is operator, except those contested in accordance with the terms of the applicable joint operating agreement, otherwise contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, or otherwise withheld under circumstances normal in the industry. Upon delivery of each Engineering Report furnished to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.2, the statements made in the preceding sentences of this Section 5.15 shall be true with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties covered by such Engineering Reports as of the date such reports are delivered to Administrative Agent.

Insider. No Restricted Person, nor any Person having “control” (as that term is defined in 12 U.S.C. § 375b(9) or in regulations promulgated pursuant thereto) of any Restricted Person, is a “director” or an “executive officer” or “principal shareholder” (as those terms are defined in 12 U.S.C. § 375b(8) or (9) or in regulations promulgated pursuant thereto) of any Lender, of a bank holding company of which any Lender is a Subsidiary or of any Subsidiary of a bank holding company of which any Lender is a Subsidiary.
Solvency. Upon giving effect to the making of Loans, the execution of the Loan Documents by Borrower and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, each Restricted Person will be solvent (as such term is used in applicable bankruptcy, liquidation, receivership, insolvency or similar Laws).
Leases and Contracts; Performance of Obligations. The leases, contracts, servitudes and other agreements forming a part of the Oil and Gas Properties of the Restricted Persons covered by the Initial Engineering Report and each subsequent Engineering Report are in full force and effect. All rents, royalties and other payments due and payable under such leases, contracts, servitudes and other agreements, or under any Permitted Liens, or otherwise attendant to the ownership or operation of such Oil and Gas Properties, have been properly and timely paid except where the failure to do so would not materially adversely affect any material lease, contract, servitude or other agreement. No Restricted Person is in default with respect to its obligations (and no Restricted Person is aware of any default by any third party with respect to such third party’s obligations) under any such leases, contracts, servitudes and other agreements, or under any Permitted Liens, or otherwise attendant to the ownership or operation of any part of such Oil and Gas Properties, where such default would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the ownership or operation of such Oil and Gas Properties. No Restricted Person is currently accounting for any royalties, or overriding royalties or other payments out of production, on a basis (other than delivery in kind) less favorable to such Restricted Person than proceeds received by such Restricted Person (calculated at the well) from sale of production, and no Restricted Person has to its knowledge any liability (or alleged liability) to account for the same on any such less favorable basis.
Sale of Production. No Oil and Gas Property is subject to any contractual or other arrangement (i) whereby payment for production is or can be deferred for a substantial period after the month in which such production is delivered (in the case of oil, not in excess of 60 days, and in the case of gas, not in excess of 90 days) or (ii) whereby payments are made to a Restricted Person other than by checks, drafts, wire transfer advises or other similar writings, instruments or communications for the immediate payment of money. Except for production sales contracts, processing agreements, transportation agreements and other agreements relating to the marketing of production that are listed on the Disclosure Schedule in connection with the Oil and Gas Properties to which such contract or agreement relates: (i) no Oil and Gas Property is subject to any contractual or other arrangement for the sale, processing or transportation of production (or otherwise related to the marketing of production) which cannot be canceled on 120 days’ (or less) notice and (ii) all contractual or other arrangements for the sale, processing or transportation of production (or otherwise related to the marketing of production) are bona fide arm’s length transactions made with third parties not affiliated with Restricted Persons. Each Restricted Person is presently receiving a price for all production from (or attributable to) each Oil and Gas Property covered by a production sales contract or marketing contract listed on the Disclosure Schedule that is computed in accordance with the terms of such contract, and no Restricted Person is having deliveries of production from such Oil and Gas Property curtailed substantially below such property’s delivery capacity. No Restricted Person, nor any Restricted Person’s predecessors in title, has received prepayments (including payments for gas not taken pursuant to “take or pay” or other similar arrangements) for any oil, gas or other hydrocarbons produced or to be produced from any Oil and Gas

Properties after the date hereof. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, and to the best knowledge of the Restricted Persons, on a net basis there are no gas imbalances, take or pay or other prepayments that would require the Restricted Persons to deliver, in the aggregate, one fourth of one percent (0.25%) or more of their aggregate Proved Reserves at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor. No Oil and Gas Property is subject at the present time to any regulatory refund obligation and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no facts exist which might cause the same to be imposed.

Perfection and Protection of Security Interests and Liens . Borrower will from time to time deliver, and will cause each other Restricted Person from time to time to deliver, to Administrative Agent any financing statements, continuation statements, extension agreements and other documents, properly completed and executed (and acknowledged when required) by Restricted Persons in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, which Administrative Agent requests for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, or protecting any Liens or other rights in Collateral securing any Obligations.
Bank Accounts; Offset. To secure the repayment of the Obligations Borrower hereby grants to each Lender, LC Issuer, and each of their respective Affiliates, a security interest, a lien, and a right of offset, each of which shall be in addition to all other interests, Liens, and rights of any Lender, LC Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates, at common Law, under the Loan Documents, or otherwise, and each of which shall be upon and against (a) any and all moneys, securities or other property (and the proceeds therefrom) of Borrower now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to any Lender, LC Issuer, or any of their respective Affiliates, from or for the account of Borrower, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, (b) any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of Borrower with any Lender, LC Issuer, or any of their respective Affiliates, and (c) any other credits and claims of Borrower at any time existing against any Lender, including claims under certificates of deposit. Additionally, within thirty (30) days after the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, Borrower will cause each bank or other financial institution (other than a Lender) holding any deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into a control agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent, in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent. If any such bank refuses or declines to enter into a control agreement satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower whereupon the Borrower will promptly cease banking with such bank or other financial institution and move its deposit accounts to a bank or financial institution that will enter into a control agreement satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower will hold the proceeds of all Loans in a deposit account and/or securities account maintained with the Administrative Agent or that is subject to a control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent establishing the Administrative Agent’s Control (as defined in the UCC) over such account until such proceeds are transferred to a third‑party pursuant to a transaction not prohibited under the terms of the Loan Documents. At any time and from time to time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, each Lender, LC Issuer, and each of their respective Affiliates, is hereby authorized to foreclose upon, or to offset against the Obligations then due and payable (in either case without notice to Borrower), any and all items hereinabove referred to; irrespective of whether or not such Lender or LC Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or LC Issuer different from the branch or office holding such items. The remedies of foreclosure and offset are separate and cumulative, and either may be exercised independently of the other without regard to procedures or restrictions applicable to the other.
Production Proceeds. Notwithstanding that, by the terms of the various Security Documents, Restricted Persons are and will be assigning to Administrative Agent and Lenders all of the “Production Proceeds” (as defined therein) accruing to the property covered thereby, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Restricted Persons may continue to receive from the purchasers of production all such Production Proceeds, subject, however, to the Liens created under the Security Documents, which Liens are hereby affirmed and ratified. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent and Lenders may exercise all rights and remedies granted under the Security Documents, including the right to obtain possession of all Production Proceeds then held by Restricted Persons or to receive directly from
|
|
Mid-Con Energy Properties, LLC Compiled Credit Agreement |
|
63 |
|
the purchasers of production all other Production Proceeds. In no case shall any failure, whether intentional or inadvertent, by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders to collect directly any such Production Proceeds constitute in any way a waiver, remission or release of any of their rights under the Security Documents, nor shall any release of any Production Proceeds by Administrative Agent or Lenders to Restricted Persons constitute a waiver, remission, or release of any other Production Proceeds or of any rights of Administrative Agent or Lenders to collect other Production Proceeds thereafter.
(b)As used in this section, the terms “Mortgaged Property”, “Permitted Liens”, “Production” and “Property” mean, respectively, all “Mortgaged Property”, “Permitted Liens”, “Production” and “Property” as defined in any Mortgage, and the term “Mortgagor” means each “Mortgagor” as defined in any Mortgage. Each Restricted Person will maintain in full force and effect all oil, gas or mineral leases, contracts, servitudes and other agreements forming a part of any Oil and Gas Property, to the extent the same cover or otherwise relate to such Oil and Gas Property, and each Restricted Person will timely perform all of its obligations thereunder. Each Restricted Person will properly and timely pay all rents, royalties and other payments due and payable under any such leases, contracts, servitudes and other agreements, or under the Permitted Liens, or otherwise attendant to its ownership or operation of any Oil and Gas Property. Each Restricted Person will promptly notify Administrative Agent of any claim (or any conclusion by such Restricted Person) that such Restricted Person is obligated to account for any royalties, or overriding royalties or other payments out of production, on a basis (other than delivery in kind) less favorable to such Restricted Person than proceeds received by such Restricted Person (calculated at the well) from sale of production. The remedies of foreclosure and offset are separate and cumulative, and either may be exercised independently of the other without regard to procedures or restrictions applicable to the other.
(c)To the extent any Mortgaged Property of a Restricted Person comprises a “building” or a “mobile home” (each as defined in Regulation H promulgated under the Flood Insurance Laws), the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent concurrently with the delivery of any mortgage in favor of the Administrative Agent (i) a standard flood hazard determination form for the applicable mortgaged property and (ii) if any such applicable mortgaged property is located in an area designated as a “special flood hazard area” by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), evidence of flood insurance in such reasonable total amount as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably require, and otherwise to ensure compliance with the Flood Insurance Laws (if applicable).
(d)Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in no event is any Building (as defined in the Flood Insurance Regulations) included in the definition of "Mortgaged Property" or "Property" and no Building or Manufactured (Mobile) Home (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulations) shall be encumbered by a Mortgage. As used herein, "Flood Insurance Regulations" shall mean (a) the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, (b) the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, (c) the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (amending 42 USC 4001, et seq.), and (d) the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004, in each case as now or hereafter in effect or any successor statute thereto and including any regulations promulgated thereunder.

Each Restricted Person will properly and timely pay all rents, royalties and other payments due and payable under any such leases, contracts, servitudes and other agreements, or under the Permitted Liens, or otherwise attendant to its ownership or operation of any such Oil and Gas Property.

first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (including fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of Administrative Agent) and amounts payable under Article III) payable to Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.
Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the existence or amount of Lender Hedging Obligations and may reserve from the application of amounts under this Section amounts distributable in respect of Lender Hedging Obligations until it has received evidence satisfactory to it of the existence and amount of such Lender Hedging Obligations. Any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender owed obligations under Hedging Contracts will, at any time and from time to time upon Administrative Agent’s request, provide evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of the existence and amount of such Lender Hedging Obligations.
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent
Appointment and Authority. Each Lender and LC Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent hereby appoints Collateral Agent to act on its behalf as Collateral Agent under the Security Documents and each Lender and LC Issuer consents to and affirms such appointment and authorizes Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof,

together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Lenders and LC Issuer, and neither Borrower nor any other Restricted Person shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
Administrative Agent agrees to deliver, at Borrower’s expense, to each Lender a copy of each material Security Document. Administrative Agent agrees that it will from time to time deliver to each Lender all information regarding the Obligations that is in the possession of Administrative Agent and typically provided by an administrative agent to the lenders in a syndicated credit facility.
Collateral Agent agrees if after exercise of rights under Security Documents it obtains payment of all or a portion of the aggregate Obligations owed to the Lenders, LC Issuer or a Lender Counterparty, it shall promptly turn over to Administrative Agent any monies or other property received by it as Collateral Agent.
Exculpation, Administrative Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent:
shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
shall not have any 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 Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and
shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any of their Affiliates in any capacity.
Neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.1 and 8.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to Administrative Agent by Borrower, a Lender or LC Issuer.
Neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document
|

delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than, in the case of Administrative Agent, to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent.
Reliance by Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Administrative Agent and Collateral 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or LC Issuer, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or LC Issuer unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or LC Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for 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.
Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and LC Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and LC Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. In this regard, each Lender acknowledges that Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx LLP is acting in this transaction as special counsel to the Administrative Agent only, and is not counsel for any of the other Lenders.
Rights as a Lender. Each Person serving as Administrative 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 Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the General Partner, MLP, Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders.
Sharing of Set-Offs and Other Payments. Each Lender Party agrees that if it shall, whether through the exercise of rights under Security Documents or rights of banker’s lien, set off, or counterclaim against Borrower or otherwise, obtain payment of a portion of the aggregate Obligations
|

|
owed to it , taking into account all distributions made by Administrative Agent under Section 3.1, and such payment causes such Lender Party to have received more than it would have received had such payment been received by Administrative Agent and distributed pursuant to Section 3.1, then (a) it shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased and shall be obligated to purchase interests in the Obligations (excluding Lender Hedging Obligations) as necessary to cause all Lender Parties to share all payments as provided for in Section 3.1, and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that Administrative Agent and all Lender Parties share all payments of Obligations (excluding Lender Hedging Obligations) as provided in Section 3.1; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall in any way affect the right of any Lender Party to obtain payment (whether by exercise of rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim or otherwise) of indebtedness other than the Obligations. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any holder of any such interest or other participation in the Obligations (excluding Lender Hedging Obligations), whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may to the fullest extent permitted by Law exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off, or counterclaim as fully as if such holder were a holder of the Obligations (excluding Lender Hedging Obligations) in the amount of such interest or other participation. If all or any part of any funds transferred pursuant to this section is thereafter recovered from the seller under this section which received the same, the purchase provided for in this section shall be deemed to have been rescinded to the extent of such recovery, together with interest, if any, if interest is required pursuant to Tribunal order to be paid on account of the possession of such funds prior to such recovery.
Investments. Whenever Administrative Agent in good faith determines that it is uncertain about how to distribute to Lender Parties any funds which it has received, or whenever Administrative Agent in good faith determines that there is any dispute among Lender Parties about how such funds should be distributed, Administrative Agent may choose to defer distribution of the funds which are the subject of such uncertainty or dispute. If Administrative Agent in good faith believes that the uncertainty or dispute will not be promptly resolved, or if Administrative Agent is otherwise required to invest funds pending distribution to Lender Parties, Administrative Agent shall invest such funds pending distribution; all interest on any such Investment shall be distributed upon the distribution of such Investment and in the same proportion and to the same Persons as such Investment. All moneys received by Administrative Agent for distribution to Lender Parties (other than to the Person who is Administrative Agent in its separate capacity as a Lender Party) shall be held by Administrative Agent pending such distribution solely as Administrative Agent for such Lender Parties, and Administrative Agent shall have no equitable title to any portion thereof.
Resignation of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.
Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to Lenders, LC Issuer and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of Lenders and LC Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of

|

|

|
any Collateral held by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders or LC Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and LC Issuer directly, until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative 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 the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
The Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent with a copy of such notice to the Lenders, LC Issuer and Borrower. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may but need not designate a successor Collateral Agent (and if no Collateral Agent is designated, Administrative Agent shall assume the role of Collateral Agent). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the Security Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the Security Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while the it was acting as Collateral Agent.
Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents (including Collateral Agent) appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative 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 Administrative Agent.
No Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Lender Parties having the title of syndication agent, document agent, lead arranger, bookrunner or any other type of agency listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, a Lender or LC Issuer hereunder.
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Restricted Person, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or LC Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
Guaranty Matters. Each Lender and LC Issuer hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty (i) if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder and (ii) upon termination of each Lender’s Commitment and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit.

(c)(a)Each Lender and LC Issuer hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of such Lender and LC Issuer.

Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that
except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (which minimum may be acquired by the assignee from two or more assigning Lenders), unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
|
|
Mid-Con Energy Properties, LLC Compiled Credit Agreement |
|
90 |
|
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 with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned;
any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by LC Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender with a Commitment (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and
the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with the Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Details Form in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits, and subject to the requirements of, of Sections 3.2, 3.4, 3.5 and 10.4 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.
Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Percentage Shares of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (in this section called the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower and each Lender Party may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent, Lenders and LC Issuer 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 which would: (1) increase the maximum amount which such Lender is committed hereunder to lend, (2) reduce or forgive any fees payable to such Lender hereunder, or the principal of, or interest on, such Lender’s Loans or Notes, (3) postpone or extend any date fixed for any payment of any such fees, regularly scheduled payments of principal or interest, (4) release Borrower from its obligation to pay Obligations to such Lender, (5) release any Guarantor from its guaranty of the Obligations, except for such releases permitted by the Loan Documents, or (6) release any material portion of the Collateral, except for such releases relating to dispositions of property permitted by the Loan Documents. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the requirements of, Sections 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.14 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.6 as though it were a Lender.
Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.2 and 3.5 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 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 3.5 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 3.5(e) as though it were a Lender.
Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Joint and Several Liability. All Obligations which are incurred by two or more Restricted Persons shall be their joint and several obligations and liabilities.
Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Percentage Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this subsection, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and LC Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (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 purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Administrative Agent, any Lender, LC Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Restricted Person.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Restricted Person or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to a Restricted Person or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Restricted Person or any of their respective Subsidiaries, provided that, in the case of information received from a Restricted Person or any of their respective Subsidiaries after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Governing Law; Submission to Process.
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION IS EXPRESSLY ELECTED IN A LOAN DOCUMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE DEEMED CONTRACTS AND INSTRUMENTS MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.
BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS ITSELF AND EACH OTHER RESTRICTED PERSON TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON IT OR ANY RESTRICTED PERSON IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE OBLIGATIONS BY ANY MEANS ALLOWED UNDER NEW YORK OR FEDERAL LAW. ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT AND LITIGATED IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, TO THE EXTENT IT HAS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, AND OTHERWISE IN THE NEW YORK DISTRICT COURTS SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK.
|
|
Mid-Con Energy Properties, LLC Compiled Credit Agreement |
|
93 |
|
THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE, THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR THAT THE VENUE THEREOF IS IMPROPER, AND FURTHER AGREE TO A TRANSFER OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING TO A FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO THE EXTENT THAT IT HAS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, AND OTHERWISE TO A STATE COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK. IN FURTHERANCE THEREOF, BORROWER AND LENDERS EACH HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IT WAS NOT INCONVENIENT FOR THEM TO NEGOTIATE AND RECEIVE FUNDING OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT IN SUCH COUNTY AND THAT IT WILL BE NEITHER INCONVENIENT NOR UNFAIR TO LITIGATE OR OTHERWISE RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES OR CLAIMS IN A COURT SITTING IN SUCH COUNTY.
COPIES OF ANY SUCH PROCESS SO SERVED SHALL ALSO, IF PERMITTED BY LAW, BE SENT BY REGISTERED MAIL TO BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH ON THE SIGNATURE PAGE BELOW, BUT THE FAILURE OF BORROWER TO RECEIVE SUCH COPIES SHALL NOT AFFECT IN ANY WAY THE SERVICE OF SUCH PROCESS AS AFORESAID. BORROWER SHALL FURNISH TO LENDERS A CONSENT OF CT CORPORATION SYSTEM AGREEING TO ACT HEREUNDER PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF LENDERS TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF LENDERS TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. IF FOR ANY REASON CT CORPORATION SYSTEM SHALL RESIGN OR OTHERWISE CEASE TO ACT AS BORROWER’S AGENT, BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO (A) IMMEDIATELY DESIGNATE AND APPOINT A NEW AGENT ACCEPTABLE TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO SERVE IN SUCH CAPACITY AND, IN SUCH EVENT, SUCH NEW AGENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE SUBSTITUTED FOR CT CORPORATION SYSTEM FOR ALL PURPOSES HEREOF AND (B) PROMPTLY DELIVER TO LENDERS THE WRITTEN CONSENT (IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT) OF SUCH NEW AGENT AGREEING TO SERVE IN SUCH CAPACITY.
Limitation on Interest. Lender Parties, Restricted Persons and any other parties to the Loan Documents intend to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury Law from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof such Persons stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by applicable Law from time to time in effect. Neither any Restricted Person nor any present or future guarantors, endorsers, or other Persons hereafter becoming liable for payment of any Obligation shall ever be liable for unearned interest thereon or shall ever be required to pay interest thereon in excess of the maximum amount that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received under applicable Law from time to time in effect, and the provisions of this section shall control over all other provisions of the Loan Documents which may be in conflict or apparent conflict herewith. Lender Parties expressly disavow any intention to contract for, charge, or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of any Obligation is accelerated. If (a) the maturity of any Obligation is accelerated for any reason, (b) any Obligation is prepaid and as a result any amounts held to constitute interest are determined to be in excess of the legal maximum, or (c) any Lender or any other holder of any or all of the Obligations shall otherwise collect moneys which are determined to constitute interest which would otherwise increase the interest on any or all of the Obligations to an amount in excess of that permitted to
|
|
Mid-Con Energy Properties, LLC Compiled Credit Agreement |
|
94 |
|
be charged by applicable Law then in effect, then all sums determined to constitute interest in excess of such legal limit shall, without penalty, be promptly applied to reduce the then outstanding principal of the related Obligations or, at such Lender’s or holder’s option, promptly returned to Borrower or the other payor thereof upon such determination. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific circumstance, exceeds the maximum amount permitted under applicable Law, Lender Parties and Restricted Persons (and any other payors thereof) shall to the greatest extent permitted under applicable Law, (i) characterize any non‑principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the instruments evidencing the Obligations in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time thereunder and the maximum legal rate of interest from time to time in effect under applicable Law in order to lawfully contract for, charge or receive the maximum amount of interest permitted under applicable Law.
Termination; Limited Survival. In its sole and absolute discretion Borrower may at any time that no Obligations are owing (other than indemnity obligations and similar obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement for which no notice of a claim has been received by Borrower) elect in a written notice delivered to Administrative Agent to terminate this Agreement. Upon receipt by Administrative Agent of such a notice, if no Obligations are then owing this Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall thereupon be terminated and the parties thereto released from all prospective obligations thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, any waivers made by any Restricted Person in any Loan Document, all obligations of Borrower provided for in Section 3.2, 3.4, 3.5(c) or 10.4 and all obligations which any Person may have to indemnify or compensate any Lender Party shall survive any termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. At the request and expense of Borrower, Administrative Agent shall prepare and execute all necessary instruments to reflect and effect such termination of the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute all such instruments on behalf of all Lenders, without the joinder of or further action by any Lender.
Severability. If any term or provision of any Loan Document shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable all other terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall nevertheless remain effective and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be separately executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to constitute one and the same Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile, telecopy or electronic mail. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually‑signed originals and shall be binding on all Restricted Persons and Lender Parties. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually‑signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.

Waiver of Jury Trial, Punitive Damages, etc. Each Restricted Person and each Lender Party hereby knowingly, voluntarily, intentionally, and irrevocably (a) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation based hereon, or directly or indirectly at any time arising out of, under or in connection with the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or associated therewith, before or after maturity; (b) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by Law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any such litigation any “Special Damages”, as defined below, (c) certifies that no party hereto nor any representative or agent or counsel for any party hereto has represented, expressly or otherwise, or implied that such party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers, and (d) acknowledges that it has been induced to enter into this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications contained in this section. As used in this section, “Special Damages” includes all special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages (regardless of how named), but does not include any payments or funds which any party hereto has expressly promised to pay or deliver to any other party hereto.
USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56) (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act.
Right of Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, LC Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, LC Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other Restricted Person against any and all of the obligations of Borrower or such Restricted Person now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or LC Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or LC Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Restricted Person may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or LC Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, LC Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, LC Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and LC Issuer agrees to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
