12.Cooperation and Support. The Debtors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide draft copies of all “first day” motions, applications, and other documents that any Debtor intends to file with the Bankruptcy Court to the RBL Agent Counsel and Consenting Noteholder Counsel at least five business days prior to the date when such Debtor intends to file such document or as soon as reasonably practicable. The Consenting RBL Lenders (acting through the RBL Agent) and the Consenting Noteholders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide all comments to all such documents by no later than two business days prior to the date when the Debtors intend to file such documents, and counsel to the respective Parties shall consult in good faith regarding the form and substance of any such proposed filing with the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide draft copies of all other material pleadings any Debtor intends to file with the Bankruptcy Court to the RBL Agent Counsel and Consenting Noteholder Counsel at least two business days prior to filing such pleadings to the extent reasonably practicable. The Consenting RBL Lenders (acting through the RBL Agent) and the Consenting Noteholders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide all comments to such pleadings by no later than one business day prior to the date when the Debtors intend to file such document, to the extent practicable, and counsel to the respective Parties shall consult in good faith regarding the form and substance of any such proposed pleading. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith the Definitive Documentation that is subject to negotiation and completion, consistent with Sub-Clause (b) of Section 3 hereof, and the Definitive Documentation, including any motions or orders related thereto, shall be consistent with this Agreement. The Debtors shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) provide to the RBL Agent Advisors and the Consenting Noteholder Advisors, and direct its employees, officers, advisors and other representatives to provide the RBL Agent Advisors and the Consenting Noteholder Advisors, (A) reasonable access (without any material disruption to the conduct of the Debtors’ businesses) during normal business hours to the Debtors’ books and records, (B) reasonable access to the management and advisors of the Debtors for the purposes of evaluating the Debtors’ assets, liabilities, operations, businesses, finances, strategies, prospects and affairs, and (C) timely and reasonable responses to all reasonable diligence requests; and (ii) promptly notify the Restructuring Support Parties of any governmental or third-party litigations, investigations or hearings against, or communications with, any of the Debtors.
13.Transfers of Claims and Interests.
(a)No Restructuring Support Party shall sell, transfer, assign, pledge, grant a participation interest in, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, its right, title, or interest in respect of any of such Restructuring Support Party’s claims against, or interests in, any Debtor subject to this Agreement, as applicable, in whole or in part, or deposit any of such Restructuring Support Party’s claims or interests against any Debtor, as applicable, into a voting trust, or grant any proxies, or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any such claims or interests (the actions described in clauses (i) and (ii) are collectively referred to herein as a “Transfer” and the Restructuring Support Party making such Transfer is referred to herein as the “Transferor”), unless such Transfer is to (y) another Restructuring Support Party or (z) any other entity that first agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Debtors a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Joinder Agreement”). With respect to claims against or interests in a Debtor held by the relevant
16
Execution Version
transferee, upon consummation of a Transfer in accordance herewith, such transferee is deemed to make all of the representations, warranties, and covenants of a Restructuring Support Party, as applicable, set forth in this Agreement. Upon compliance with the foregoing, the Transferor shall be deemed to relinquish its rights (and be released from its obligations, except for any claim for breach of this Agreement that occurs prior to such Transfer) under this Agreement to the extent of such transferred rights and obligations. Any Transfer made in violation of this Sub-Clause (a) of this Section 13 shall be deemed null and void ab initio and of no force or effect, regardless of any prior notice provided to the Debtors and/or any Restructuring Support Party, and shall not create any obligation or liability of any Debtor or any other Restructuring Support Party to the purported transferee.
(b)Notwithstanding Sub-Clause (a) of this Section 13, (i) an entity that is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker shall not be required to be or become a Restructuring Support Party to effect any transfer (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) of any claim against, or interest in, any Debtor, as applicable, by a Restructuring Support Party to a transferee; provided that such transfer by a Restructuring Support Party to a transferee shall be in all other respects in accordance with and subject to Sub-Clause (a) of this Section 13; and (ii) to the extent that a Restructuring Support Party, acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, acquires any claim against, or interest in, any Debtor from a holder of such claim or interest who is not a Restructuring Support Party, it may transfer (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) such claim or interest without the requirement that the transferee be or become a Restructuring Support Party in accordance with this Section 13. For purposes of this SubClause (b), a “Qualified Marketmaker” means an entity that (y) holds itself out to the market as standing ready in the ordinary course of its business to purchase from customers and sell to customers claims against, or interests in, any of the Debtors (including debt securities or other debt) or enter with customers into long and short positions in claims against the Debtors (including debt securities or other debt), in its capacity as a dealer or market maker in such claims or interests against the Debtors, and (z) is in fact regularly in the business of making a market in claims against issuers or borrowers (including debt securities or other debt).
(c)Any holder of Subordinated Notes Claims may, at any time after the date hereof, become a party to this Agreement as a Consenting Noteholder by executing a Joinder Agreement, pursuant to which such party shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Consenting Noteholder hereunder. Any RBL Lender may, at any time after the date hereof, become a party to this Agreement as a Consenting RBL Lender by executing a Joinder Agreement, pursuant to which such person shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Consenting RBL Lender hereunder.
14.Further Acquisition of Claims or Interests. Except as set forth in Section 13, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as precluding any Restructuring Support Party or any of its affiliates from acquiring, as applicable, additional RBL Secured Claims, Subordinated Notes Claims, existing equity interests, or interests in the instruments underlying the RBL Secured Claims, the Subordinated Notes Claims, or existing equity interests (as applicable); provided, however, that any additional RBL Secured
17
Execution Version
Claims, Subordinated Notes Claims, existing equity interests, or interests in the underlying instruments acquired by any Restructuring Support Party and with respect to which such Restructuring Support Party is the legal owner, beneficial owner, and/or investment advisor or manager of or with power and/or authority to bind any claims or interests held by it shall automatically be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, other than Section 13 hereof, without any further action by such Restructuring Support Party or the Debtors. Upon any such further acquisition, and not later than five (5) business days following such acquisition, such Restructuring Support Party shall notify Unit Corp., its counsel, RBL Agent Counsel, and Consenting Noteholder Counsel.
15.Fees and Expenses. Subject to Section 10 and the Term Sheet, the Debtors shall pay or reimburse when due all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the following (regardless of whether such fees and expenses were incurred before or after the Petition Date): (a)(i) Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP, as counsel to the Ad Hoc Group, in accordance with the terms of that certain fee letter dated December 17, 2019, and (ii) Xxxxxxxxx & Co., Inc., as financial advisor to the Ad Hoc Group, in accordance with the terms of that certain engagement letter dated as of January 1, 2020; and (b) (i) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Lawyers PLLC, as counsel to the RBL Agent; (ii) Huron Consulting Group Inc., as financial advisor to the RBL Agent; (iii) Xxxxxxxxx LLP, as local counsel to the RBL Agent, and (iv) the RBL Lenders, in each case of clause (i) through (iv) of this Section 15(b), in connection with, or arising as a result of, the Restructuring, the Plan, or the Chapter 11 Cases.
16.Consents and Acknowledgments. Each Party irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be a solicitation for acceptances to the Plan. The acceptance of the Plan by each of the Restructuring Support Parties will not be solicited until such Parties have received the Disclosure Statement and related ballots approved by the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with applicable law, and will be subject to sections 1125, 1126 and 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code.

No Party shall have any responsibility by virtue of this Agreement for any trading by any other entity. No prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Parties shall in any way affect or negate this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement does not constitute an agreement, arrangement, or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting, or disposing of any equity securities of the Debtors, and neither the Parties nor any group thereof shall constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act.

23.Specific Performance.

24.Governing Law & Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to such state’s choice of law provisions which would require or permit the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that any legal action, suit, or proceeding against it with respect to any matter arising under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit, or proceeding, shall be brought in the federal or state courts located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, and by executing and delivering this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing consent to New York jurisdiction, if the Chapter 11 Cases are commenced, each Party agrees that the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. By executing and delivering this Agreement, and upon commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the personal jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court solely for purposes of any action, suit, proceeding, or other contested matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered or order entered in any such action, suit, proceeding, or other contested matter.
25.Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. Each of the Parties waives any right to have a jury participate in resolving any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, between any of the Parties arising out of, connected with, relating to, or incidental to the relationship established between any of them in connection with this Agreement. Instead, any disputes resolved in court shall be resolved in a bench trial without a jury.
