The proceeds of Tranche B shall be used (i) to  pay fees and expenses due and owing by Borrower on the Closing Date, (ii) to repay in full all of the Debt owing with respect to the Existing Providence Facility A, (iii) to repay a principal amount of the outstanding Debt under the Existing Providence Facility B equal to $1,500,000, together with all accrued and unpaid interest owing under such facility as of the Closing Date and (iv) to make the other payments expressly set forth in the Funds Flow.  After payment in full of the foregoing expenditures, the remaining balance of Tranche B shall be deposited by Lenders into the Funding Account for funding of approved capital and other expenditures, including but not limited to working capital, interest on the Loans, general and administrative expenses and those costs and expenses related to the Shook Pad and non-operated projects, all in accordance with the Base Case Model as approved by the Lenders.

(c) Funding Account.  On or before the Closing Date, Borrower shall authorize a representative of Administrative Agent as a co-signer on the Funding Account for all disbursements from such account.  Borrower may, on at least 24 hours prior written notice to Administrative Agent, but no more than once each week, request a release (a “Distribution Request”, in substantially the form of Exhibit D) of sums from the Funding Account to pay, without duplication, any amounts desired by Borrower consistent with the Base Case Model.  Each Distribution Request shall contain a description in such detail as Lenders may reasonably request as to the proposed amount of such distribution and the intended recipient and shall be accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation. Unless (i) a Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such transfer of funds, or (ii) Administrative Agent notifies Borrower in writing within such 24 hour period that a Distribution Request fails to satisfy the foregoing criteria or that Administrative Agent requires additional information with respect to the requested disbursement (in which case, Administrative Agent will describe requested information in reasonable detail), then Administrative Agent will promptly approve the Distribution Request and cause its representative to initiate a transfer of funds for the requested amount from the Funding Account to the Operating Account by online transfer or as otherwise requested by Borrower.  Borrower shall use such disbursed amounts exclusively to pay the amounts included in the applicable Distribution Request.

(d) Operating Account.  On or before the Closing Date, Borrower shall also authorize a representative of Administrative Agent as a co-signer on the Operating Account for disbursements from such account of $1,000,000 or more.  Administrative Agent shall also have

21

viewing rights with regard to the Operating Account at any time.  In the event that Borrower initiates a disbursement of an amount of $1,000,000 or more pursuant to a Distribution Request, then, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such transfer of funds, the Administrative Agent will promptly cause its representative to approve a wire transfer to such party as listed in the Distribution Request.

2.03 Notes.  The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a single promissory note made by Borrower payable to the order of such Lender in substantially the form of Exhibit A, dated as of the Closing Date in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment and otherwise duly completed.  The amount and interest rate of each Loan made by such Lender, and all payments made on account of principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books.  Lender may attach a schedule to the Note to evidence payments on the Note but failure to make any such notation or to attach a schedule shall not affect Lender’s or Borrower’s rights or obligations in respect of the Loans or affect the validity of the Note.

2.04 Protective Advances.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and whether or not an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lenders upon not less than three Business Days’ notice and Borrower’s right to cure during such three Business Day period, are authorized, from time to time in Lenders’ sole discretion (but Lenders shall have absolutely no obligation to) make an advance for purposes of (i)  preserving or protecting the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (ii) paying any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, payments of principal, interest, fees and reimbursable expenses (each such advance in this Section 2.04, a “Protective Advance”). Protective Advances may be made without Borrower’s compliance with any of the terms of this Agreement (including the conditions precedent set forth in this Article II and Article V). Each Protective Advance under clause (i) or clause (ii) preceding shall be disbursed by Lenders as either of them deems necessary or prudent in order to, among other things, protect Lenders’ interest in the Collateral or to perform any obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or the Operating Agreements. Each Protective Advance under this Agreement shall bear interest at the lesser of (x) the Highest Lawful Rate and (y) the Default Rate, beginning on the date of the advance of such Protective Advance and continuing until such Protective Advance is paid in full in accordance with this Agreement. Accrued interest on Protective Advances shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month and until repaid in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Loan Documents, any Protective Advance made under this Section 2.04 shall not cure any Default or Event of Default occurring and continuing on the date such Protective Advance is made by Lender. Protective Advances shall constitute Obligations and will be entitled to the benefit of the Liens under the Security Instruments.  Borrower shall pay the unpaid principal amount and all unpaid and accrued interest of each Protective Advance on the earlier of the Termination Date and the date on which demand for payment is made by Lender.

2.05 Repayment of Loans.  Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to each Lender all of the Obligations owing to such Lender on the Termination Date.  All payments to be made by Borrower to each Lender will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds not later than 5:00 p.m. Dallas, Texas, time on the date due to such Lender in accordance with wire instructions provided by such Lender to Borrower.

22

2.06 Interest.

(a) Loans.  All Loans outstanding under this Agreement shall bear interest at the Contract Rate beginning on the date of the advance of each such Loan and continuing until such Loan is paid in full in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Post-Default.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, then, automatically, all Loans outstanding, together with all overdue amounts shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to five percent (5%) plus the Contract Rate (the “Default Rate”).  Administrative Agent will provide prompt notice to Borrower of the implementation of the Default Rate in accordance with this Section 2.06(b), but the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to pay interest at the Default Rate or result in the incurrence by the Administrative Agent of any liability to any Person.

(c) Interest Payment Dates.  Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Termination Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.06(b) shall be payable on demand, and (ii) in the event of the prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 3.01, all accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable on the date of such payment.

(d) Interest Rate Computations.  All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

2.07 Fees.

(a) Origination Fee.  On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to each Lender an origination fee (the “Origination Fee”) equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of one million two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($1,250,000). The Origination Fees shall be included in the Funds Flow and payable from the proceeds of Tranche B.

(b) Underwriting Fee.  On the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to each Lender an underwriting fee (the “Underwriting Fee”) equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of one million two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($1,250,000).  Any Lender that defaults in its obligation to make Loans under this Agreement shall not be entitled to either the Origination Fee or the Underwriting Fee, and the obligations of Borrower to pay such fees shall be proportionately reduced.

2.08 Payments Generally.

(a) Payments by Borrower.  All payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment, setoff or Taxes.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s office in

23

immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the date specified herein.  All amounts received by the Administrative Agent after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s office (or otherwise distribute such payment in like funds as received to the Person or Persons entitled thereto as provided herein).  If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall fall due on a day that is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.  All payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made in dollars.  Fees, once paid, shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments.  Subject to Section 9.02, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and other amounts then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

ARTICLE III.

(a) Optional Prepayment.  Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay the Loan Balance in whole (but not in part) prior to the Maturity Date, upon (i) providing Lenders at least 14-days’ prior written notice and (ii) payment of the Make-Whole Premium in accordance with Section 3.02.

(b) Additional Collateral.  In the event Borrower or any other Loan Party acquires additional Oil and Gas Properties after the Closing Date, then Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, promptly (in any event within five (5) Business Days or such later date as permitted by Lenders in their sole discretion) execute and deliver such Mortgages and other Security Instruments as Lenders may reasonably request to grant to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as security for the Obligations a first-priority Lien on such additional Oil and Gas Properties not already subject to a Lien of the Security Instruments such that after giving effect thereto, the Mortgaged Properties will represent all of the Oil and Gas Properties of the Loan Parties, subject only to Excepted Liens.  Contemporaneous with the foregoing, Borrower shall, subject to Lenders’ approval, update Annex B to add such additional Oil and Gas Properties.

6.11        Insurance.  Borrower has (a) all insurance policies sufficient for the compliance with all Laws and all agreements to which Borrower is a party and (b) insurance coverage in at least amounts and against such risk (including, without limitation, public liability) that are usually insured against by companies similarly situated and engaged in the same or a similar business for the assets and operations of Borrower.  The Administrative Agent has been named as additional insured in respect of such liability insurance policies and as lender’s loss payable with respect to Property loss insurance.

32

6.12        Subsidiaries; Equity Interests.  Except as set forth on Schedule 6.12, Borrower has no Subsidiaries and owns no Equity Interests in any other corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, general partnership or any comparable non-U.S. entity.  Borrower has no Foreign Subsidiaries.  The ownership information with respect to each Subsidiary of Borrower, if any, is set forth on Schedule 6.12.

6.13        Properties; Title, Etc.

(a)           The Borrower has good and defensible title to, or valid leasehold and fee interests in, the Oil and Gas Properties and good title to, or valid leasehold and fee interests in, licenses of, or rights to use, all of its personal Properties necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of its business, in each case, free and clear of all Liens except Liens permitted by Section 8.03.  After giving full effect to the Excepted Liens and other than changes which arise pursuant to non-consent provisions of operating agreements or other agreements (if any) described in an exhibit to any Security Instrument, Borrower or any of the other Loan Parties specified as the owner owns at least the Net Revenue Interest attributable to the Hydrocarbon Interests and Xxxxx as reflected in the most recently delivered Reserve Report, and as set forth in Annex B attached hereto (or in the most recent update to Annex B delivered by Borrower to Lender in accordance with Section 4.01(b)), and the ownership of such Properties shall not in any material respect obligate the Loan Parties to bear the costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operations of each such Property in an amount materially in excess of the Working Interest of each Property set forth in the most recently delivered Reserve Report, and as set forth on Annex B attached hereto (or in the most recent update to Annex B delivered by Borrower to Lender in accordance with Section 4.01(b)), that is not offset by a corresponding proportionate increase in Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Net Revenue Interest in such Property.

(b)           To the knowledge of Borrower, all leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of Borrower are valid and subsisting, in full force and effect, and there exists no default thereunder.

(c)           Except as set forth in Schedule 6.13(c), there has been no event, development or circumstance that has had or could reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect since the last interim financial statement date.

(d)           The rights and Properties presently owned, leased or licensed by Borrower including, without limitation, all easements and rights of way, include all rights and Properties necessary to permit Borrower to conduct its business in all material respects in the same manner as its business has been conducted prior to the Closing Date.

(e)           All of the material tangible personal Properties of Borrower that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their businesses are in good working condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and are maintained in accordance with prudent business standards.

33

(f)            Except as set forth on Schedule 6.13(f), there are no (i) preferential rights to purchase or (ii) required consents to assignment, in either case, affecting any Oil and Gas Properties.

6.14        Maintenance of Properties.  The Oil and Gas Properties (and Properties unitized therewith) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have been maintained, operated and developed in a good and workmanlike manner and in conformity with all Governmental Requirements and in conformity with the provisions of all leases, subleases or other contracts comprising a part of the Hydrocarbon Interests and other contracts and agreements forming a part of the Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.  Specifically in connection with the foregoing, (i) no Oil and Gas Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is subject to having allowable production reduced below the full and regular allowable (including the maximum permissible tolerance) because of any overproduction (whether or not the same was permissible at the time) and (ii) none of the xxxxx comprising a part of the Oil and Gas Properties (or Properties unitized therewith) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is deviated from the vertical more than the maximum permitted by Governmental Requirements, and such xxxxx are, in fact, bottomed under and are producing from, and the well bores are wholly within, the Oil and Gas Properties (or in the case of xxxxx located on Properties unitized therewith, such unitized Properties) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.  The xxxxx drilled in respect of proved producing Oil and Gas Properties described in the Reserve Report (other than xxxxx drilled in respect of such proved producing Oil and Gas Properties that have been subsequently disposed of in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) are capable of, and are presently, either producing Hydrocarbons in commercially profitable quantities or in the process of being worked over or enhanced, and the Loan Party that owns such proved producing Oil and Gas Properties is currently receiving payments for its share of production, with no funds in respect of any thereof being presently held in suspense, other than any such funds being held in suspense pending delivery of appropriate division orders. All pipelines, xxxxx, gas processing plants, platforms and other material improvements, fixtures and equipment owned in whole or in part by the Borrower or any Subsidiary that are necessary to conduct normal operations are being maintained in a state adequate to conduct normal operations, and with respect to such of the foregoing which are operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

6.15        Commissions; Expenses.  No broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions have been paid or will be payable by Borrower or any of its Affiliates to any Person in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as payable to Lender or its respective Affiliates.

6.16        ERISA.  No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan.

34

6.17        Solvency.  After giving effect to the Transactions and any contribution provisions contained in any Loan Document, the Loan Parties and each of its Subsidiaries are Solvent.

6.18        Employment Matters.  As of the Closing Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened.  All payments due from the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or such Subsidiary.

6.19        Margin Stock.  Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation  U issued by the Federal Reserve Board), and no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock.

6.20        Gas Imbalances; Prepayments.  On a net basis there are no gas imbalances, take or pay or other prepayments which would require the Borrower or any Subsidiary to deliver Hydrocarbons produced from the Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor exceeding a volume equal to 1% of the total proved reserves (on an mcf equivalent basis) set forth in the most recently delivered Reserve Report in the aggregate.

6.21        Swap Agreements.  No Loan Party has entered into any Swap Agreements except as otherwise permitted by the Lenders in writing.

6.22        USA PATRIOT Act.  Neither Borrower nor any of its respective Affiliates is a country, individual or entity named on the Specifically Designated National and Blocked Persons list issued by the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America.

(a)           On or before March 15 of each year, Borrower shall furnish to Lenders a Reserve Report attributable to the Hydrocarbon Interests of Borrower as of the immediately preceding January 1. Each Reserve Report shall be prepared by the Approved Petroleum Engineers.  Additionally, Borrower shall furnish to Lender within 30 days of June 30 of each calendar year, an internally-prepared update of the Reserve Report reflecting additions and subtractions to the Hydrocarbons (the “Semi-Annual Update”) as of June 30 of each calendar year.  Each Semi-Annual Update shall (x) be prepared by or under the supervision of the chief engineer of Borrower and (y) include an analysis using the pricing assumptions set forth in Section 7.12(b)(iii) below.  At Lenders’ request, the Semi-Annual Update shall be audited or engineered at Borrower’s expense.

(b)           Each Reserve Report shall be prepared in accordance with the following requirements and assumptions:

(i)            Proved Reserves shall be estimated and reported in accordance with Definitions for Oil and Gas Reserves promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (or any generally recognized successor) as in effect at the time in question;

(ii)           A production forecast shall be provided that is consistent with the Proved Reserves, recent production rates and trends, and regulatory requirements, operational considerations, and infrastructure or market constraints in effect at the time;

(iii)          Hydrocarbon pricing assumptions—

41

(A)          for all natural gas to be sold by Borrower, the purchase price for each month in the forecast will be the monthly natural gas futures quotes as reflected in NYMEX as of the effective date of the Reserve Report;

(B)          for all natural gas to be sold by Borrower on a fixed price basis or with respect to which the price has been hedged, the purchase price will be the fixed price for the volumes indicated in the contract, agreement or arrangement;

(C)          for all crude oil to be sold by Borrower other than crude oil described in Section 7.12(b)(iii)(D), the purchase price for each month in the forecast will be the monthly crude oil futures quotes as reflected in the NYMEX after applying any xxxxxx in place as of the effective date of the Reserve Report or the Semi-Annual Update, as the case may be for the remaining term of the Loan;

(D)          for natural gas liquids to be sold by Borrower, the purchase price for each month in the forecast will be the crude oil purchase prices obtained pursuant to Section 7.12(b)(iii)(C) multiplied by natural gas liquids adjustment factor based on historical realizations; and

(E)           all Hydrocarbon pricing assumptions will be further adjusted by appropriate quality, transportation and location differentials as reflected in Borrower’s lease operating statements;

(iv)          projected operating expenses will reflect the current operating conditions as defined by the average of the previous twelve months of actual expenses as reported in Borrower’s lease operating statements, and Approved by Lender; and

(v)           Capital expenditures will be based on AFEs and actual costs from similar recent projects.

7.13        Creditors.  Borrower shall provide each Lender, within ten (10) Business Days following any written request therefor from any Lender, a true and complete schedule of Borrower’s creditors, including the amount due to each and the date each payment is due.

7.14        Conversion Rights.

(a)           Conversion Privilege. Subject to and in compliance with this Section 7.14, at any time on or after the Closing Date and until the Termination Date, each Lender may, from time to time, convert all or part of the outstanding principal amount of Loans made by such Lender to Borrower for shares of Common Stock.

(i)            With respect to each Lender, with regard to 20% of the Loan Balance, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be determined by dividing said principal by a price per share of Common Stock of $1.15 (the “Minimum Conversion Price”), as that price may be adjusted pursuant to this Section 7.14.

(ii)           With respect to each Lender, with regard to the remaining 80% of the Loan Balance, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be

42

determined by dividing the aggregate principal amount of the Loan Balance to be converted by a price per share of Common Stock of $1.55, as such price per share may be adjusted pursuant to this Section 7.14 (the “Maximum Conversion Price”).

(iii)          Any prepayments of the principal amount of the Loans will first reduce the amount of the outstanding principal convertible by each Lender pursuant to Section 7.14(a)(ii) above.  If 80% of the principal of the Loans has been repaid, then future prepayments will reduce the amount of the outstanding principal convertible pursuant to Section 7.14(a)(i) above.

(iv)          Any conversions exercised by any Lender consistent with this Section 7.14 will first reduce the amount of the outstanding principal convertible by such Lender pursuant to Section 7.14(a)(i) above.  Subsequent conversions by any Lender will reduce the amount of the outstanding principal convertible by such Lender pursuant to Section 7.14(a)(ii) above.

(b)           Conversion Procedure. To exercise its conversion right, Lender must deliver a written Notice of Conversion in the form of Exhibit F (the “Notice of Conversion”), which notice shall specify the amount of the Loan Balance being converted on such date (the “Convertible Debt Amount”). Borrower shall deliver to Lender, no later than the third Business Day following Borrower’s receipt of a Notice of Conversion a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion and cash in payment for any interest accrued but unpaid on the Convertible Debt Amount and in lieu of any fractional share determined pursuant to Section 7.14(c). The Person in whose name the certificate is registered shall be treated as the stockholder of record on and after the date such certificate is issued (the “Conversion Date”). Upon conversion, that portion of the Convertible Debt Amount shall be paid in shares of Common Stock.

(c)           Fractional Shares. Borrower will not issue any fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Debt Amount. Instead Borrower will deliver cash for the value of any fractional share. The value of a fractional share shall be determined to the nearest 1/1000th of a share by multiplying the Conversion Price by the fractional amount and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent.

(d)           Taxes on Conversion. If Lender converts any Convertible Debt Amount, Borrower shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of the shares of Common Stock upon the conversion. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulations.

(e)           Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock.  In case Borrower shall (i) pay a dividend, or make a distribution, in shares of Common Stock, on its shares of Common Stock as expressly permitted herein, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that Lenders upon converting the Convertible Debt Amount thereafter shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which Lender would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described above had such Convertible Debt Amount been

7.15        Share Purchase Option-Private Placement

(a)           Lenders’ Privilege.     Subject to and in compliance with this Section 7.15, Borrower grants to each Lender an option (the “Lenders’ Option”), exercisable for one time only beginning on the Maturity Date and continuing for a period of 12 months thereafter (the “Expiration Date”), to purchase such Lender’s allocable portion of up to $25,000,000 (in proportion to the Lenders’ Commitments) of Borrower’s Common Stock at a price per share equal to the then-30 day volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as determined with reference to the principal trading market for the Common Stock, less a discount of 10%; provided, however, that the price per share for the Common Stock in any such transaction shall not be less than $1.85, as such price shall be adjusted in the same circumstances and manner as the Conversion Price is adjusted under Section 7.14(e).  Lenders shall be granted registration rights with respect to such securities acquired substantially in the form of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b)           Exercise of Lenders’ Option.   The Lenders’ Option shall be exercisable by each Lender by delivering to Borrower a Notice of Exercise executed by such Lender in the form attached as Exhibit G not later than 5:00 pm Mountain Time on the Expiration Date, which notice shall be irrevocable.  If the Expiration Date shall not be a Business Day, the option shall be exercisable until 5:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day.  Within 10 Business Days following receipt of a Notice of Exercise, Borrower shall compute the applicable sale price for the transaction and the number of shares to be purchased by each Lender and deliver such information to each Lender. Borrower’s determination of the sale price shall be final and binding, absent manifest error.

(a)           Lenders’ Privilege.  From the Closing Date to December 31, 2018, Lenders shall have the option to purchase up to 50% of any securities offered by Borrower in any public or private offering during that time other than Excluded Offerings.  From and after January 1, 2019, Lenders shall have the option to purchase up to 25% of any securities offered

44

by Borrower in any public or private offering other than Excluded Offerings.  In either event, Lenders shall be entitled to purchase their allotted portion of any securities on the same terms and conditions as other purchasers in the public or private offering.  Lenders shall be granted registration rights with respect to such securities acquired substantially in the form of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b)           Exercise of Privilege.  In the event Borrower proposes to conduct an offering (other than an Excluded Offering) after the Closing Date, whether by means of a private placement, underwritten offering or other offering, Borrower shall give Lenders not less than 20 days’ advance written notice of the proposed offering, including a description of the securities, the price per share or other unit, the plan of distribution and date of commencement.  Lenders shall have five Business Days from receipt of such notice to accept such offer by providing written notice to Borrower. Such acceptance shall be irrevocable unless Borrower notifies Lenders that the terms of the offering have changed in any material respect.  In the event of any material change in the terms, Borrower shall provide notice of such change and Lenders shall have three Business Days to reaffirm their participation or decline.

7.17        Lenders’ Warrants  Borrower hereby grants to each Lender a warrant to purchase such Lender’s allocable portion of  1,500,000 shares of Common Stock (in proportion to the Lenders’ Commitments) exercisable beginning on the Closing Date and continuing until the Maturity Date (“Warrant”).  The Warrant shall be exercisable at a price of $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment in certain events as provided in the Warrant.  The Warrant shall be in the form of Exhibit H.

7.18        Borrower Covenants with Respect to the Common Stock.

(a)           Registration Rights Agreement.  Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the parties have entered into the Registration Rights Agreement covering all Common Stock or other equity securities issuable to Lenders upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of Lenders’ rights under Sections 7.14, 7.15, 7.16 and 7.17.  At any time when a Registration Default (as defined under the Registration Rights Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, then, automatically in such case, (i) if the Loans are outstanding, all Loans outstanding, together with all overdue amounts shall bear additional interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate for as long as such Registration Default is continuing or (ii) if the Loans are no longer outstanding, Borrower shall pay to Lenders as directed by the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to the daily amount of interest that would accrue on the maximum principal amount of Loans advanced by the Lenders hereunder if such principal amount were still outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate as long as such Registration Default is continuing.

(b)           Reserve for Issuance. Borrower has reserved and shall maintain out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion by Lenders of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into which Lenders may convert the Notes under Section 7.14 and that Lenders may acquire under Sections 7.15 and 7.17. All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of any Convertible Debt Amount or upon exercise of Lenders’ rights provided in Sections 7.15, 7.16 and 7.17 shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly and validly issued and

7.21        Tax Reporting.  The Borrower agrees to consult with each Lender prior to filing any tax return which includes a valuation of any equity rights granted to such Lender hereunder, including for purposes of determining the amount of any “original interest discount” with respect to the Loans.

7.22        Post-Closing Requirement.  No later than February 14, 2018 (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may permit in its sole discretion), the Borrower shall have taken all actions required by the Administrative Agent to cause CFW Resources LLC (“CFW”) to be a Loan Party, including, without limitation, delivery of the following, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Lenders: (a) a Pledge Agreement executed by the Borrower pursuant to which the Equity Interests owned by the Borrower in CFW will constitute Collateral; (b) a Guaranty Agreement executed by CFW; (c) Mortgages and all other Security Instruments required by the Lenders as necessary to establish perfected Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent covering all of the assets of CFW; (d) a certificate of a Responsible Officer of CFW setting forth (i) resolutions of its managers or other governing body with respect to the authorization of CFW to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to enter into the Transactions contemplated in those documents, (ii) the officers of CFW (Y) who are authorized to sign the Loan Documents to which CFW is a party and (Z) who will, until replaced by another officer or officers duly authorized for that purpose, act as its representative for the purposes of signing

ARTICLE X.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.01      Appointment; Powers.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

10.02      Duties and Obligations of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law; rather, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties), (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Lenders, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the institution serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or (vii) any failure by the Borrower or any other Person (other than itself) to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or the performance or observance of any covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein.

10.03      Action by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights

56

and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Lenders and in all cases the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Documents unless it shall (a) receive written instructions from the Lenders specifying the action to be taken and (b) be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The instructions as aforesaid and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto by the Administrative Agent shall be binding on all of the Lenders.  If a Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Lenders in the written instructions (with indemnities) described in this Section 10.03, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.  In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or applicable law.  If a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to perform any act in respect thereof except as expressly provided herein.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Lenders, and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith INCLUDING ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

10.04      Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon, and each of the Borrower and the Lenders hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of such statement, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

10.05      Subagents.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the preceding clauses shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the 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.

57

10.06      Resignation of Administrative Agent.  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this clause, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor.  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.03 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent.

10.07      Administrative Agent as Lender.  The institution serving as the 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 the Administrative Agent, and such institution and its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

10.08      No Reliance.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the Properties or books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries.  Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.  In this regard, each Lender acknowledges that Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxx, P.C. is acting in this transaction as special counsel to the Administrative Agent only, except to the extent otherwise expressly stated in any legal opinion or any Loan Document.  Each other party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with the Loan Documents and the matters contemplated therein.

58

10.09      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 the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)           to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 11.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 11.03.

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

10.10      Authority of Administrative Agent to Release Collateral, Liens and Guarantors.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (a) to release any Collateral that is permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, (b) to release any Guarantor if 100% of the Equity Interests in such Guarantor are sold in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents and (c) to subordinate (or release) any Lien on any Property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to any Lien on such Property that is permitted by Section 8.02(b).  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with any sale or other disposition of Property to the extent such sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms of Section 8.07 or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents.

(c)           To the extent that any Loan Party fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under clause (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

(d)           To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(b)           Upon not less than 5 days’ advance written notice to Borrower, Lenders may assign all or any portion of their rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of any commitment to lend under any Tranche hereunder, if any, and the Loans at the time owing to it) without the prior written consent of any Person.

(c)           Each 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 Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for Lender as a party hereto.

(d)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 11.04, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require Borrower and the Guarantors to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” Laws of any state.

11.05      Survival; Revival; Reinstatement.

(a)           All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and so long as the Termination Date has not occurred.  The provisions of Section 5.01(x), Section 7.14, Section 7.15, Section 7.16, Section 7.17, Section 7.18, Section 7.19, Article X, Section 11.03, this Section 11.05, Section 11.11 and Section 11.13 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of any commitment to lend under any Tranche hereunder, if any, or the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

(b)           To the extent that any payments on the Obligations or proceeds of any Collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or

64

required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any Debtor Relief Law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Obligations so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and Lender’s Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect.  In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and Borrower shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by Lender to effect such reinstatement.

11.06      Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

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

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

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

11.07      Severability.  In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.08      Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against any and all of the obligations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries owed to the Administrative Agent or such Lender now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or

65

not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 11.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Persons or their Affiliates may have.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to give Borrower prompt notice of any such offset made by such Person or any Affiliate of such Person following the occurrence thereof.

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

11.11      Confidentiality.  Each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required by applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (c) to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, but only to the extent required to exercise those rights, (e) with the consent of Borrower or (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.11 or (ii) becomes available to Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrower without breach of any confidentiality agreement.  For the purposes of this Section 11.11, “Information” means all information received from Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and their businesses, other than any such information that is available to Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.  Neither party will issue (or allow the issuance of) any press release or other public announcement relating to the Loans which expressly names the other party without the prior written consent of the other party unless required by applicable law; but each of them may each publish a customary “tombstone” announcements regarding the Loans, including without limitation, the parties to the transaction and aggregate committed amount.

11.12      Interest Rate Limitation.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Lenders shall conform strictly to usury Laws applicable to them.  Accordingly, if the Transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to any Lender under Laws applicable to it (including the Laws of the United States of America and the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction whose Laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Note, it is agreed as follows:  (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under Law applicable to such Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under any of the Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the

67

Note shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable Law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Note is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under Law applicable to such Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable Law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to Borrower).  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to such Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by Law applicable to such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the stated term of the Loans evidenced by the Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable Law.  If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to such Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 11.12 and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 11.12.  The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that, as of the Closing Date, the value of the Lenders’ Option and Warrants cannot determined by a mathematical computation.

11.13      EXCULPATION PROVISIONS.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT IT HAS A DUTY TO READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND AGREES THAT IT IS CHARGED WITH NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; THAT IT HAS IN FACT READ THIS AGREEMENT AND IS FULLY INFORMED AND HAS FULL NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EFFECTS OF THIS AGREEMENT; THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE THROUGHOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS PRECEDING ITS EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND HAS RECEIVED THE ADVICE OF ITS ATTORNEY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT CERTAIN OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS RESULT IN ONE PARTY ASSUMING THE LIABILITY INHERENT IN SOME ASPECTS OF THE TRANSACTION AND RELIEVING THE OTHER PARTY OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH LIABILITY.  EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY EXCULPATORY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT

68

AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ON THE BASIS THAT THE PARTY HAD NO NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH PROVISION OR THAT THE PROVISION IS NOT “CONSPICUOUS.”

11.14      No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the agreement of Lender to make Loans are solely for the benefit of Borrower, and no other Person (including, without limitation, any Subsidiary of Borrower, any obligor, contractor, subcontractor, supplier or materialman) shall have any rights, claims, remedies or privileges hereunder or under any other Loan Document against Lender for any reason whatsoever.  There are no third party beneficiaries.

11.15      USA Patriot Act Notice.  Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of 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 Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act.

11.16      Termination; Limited Survival. Upon the occurrence of Security Termination, Lender agrees to, as soon as reasonably practical, execute and deliver all necessary instruments to reflect and effect such termination of the Loan Documents and to release any Liens created by the Security Instruments.

11.17      No Fiduciary Duty.  Each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 11.17, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Loan Party, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, agrees that nothing in this Agreement or the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, their stockholders or their affiliates, on the other.  Each Loan Party, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, their stockholders or their affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, their stockholders or their affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, their management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.  Each Loan Party, for itself and its Subsidiaries, acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party, for itself and its Subsidiaries, agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party or Subsidiary, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
