For the purposes of this Section 12.11, “Information” means all information received from the Parent Guarantor or any other Credit Party relating to the Parent Guarantor, Kodiak and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates or any other Credit Party and their businesses other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.

Section 12.19 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 3. Borrowing Base and Aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amount Reduction.

3.1 Borrowing Base. On May 1, 2016, the Borrowing Base shall be equal to $2,750,000,000, which Borrowing Base shall remain in effect until the next Scheduled Redetermination Date, the next Interim Redetermination Date or the next adjustment to the Borrowing Base under Section 2.07(e), Section 2.07(f), Section 2.07(i) or Section 9.11, whichever occurs first. Each of the Parent Guarantor and the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders party hereto (which constitute the Required Revolving Lenders), on the other hand, agree that the redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Section 3 shall constitute the May 1, 2016 Scheduled Redetermination. This Section 3 constitutes (a) notice of the redetermined Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.07(d) of the Credit Agreement and (b) acknowledgement by the Required Revolving Lenders that they have approved the redetermined Borrowing Base consistent with each such Lender’s usual and customary oil and gas lending criteria as they currently exist as provided in Section 2.07(c)(iii) of the Credit Agreement.

After giving effect to such reduction and/or reallocation, Annex I to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety in the form of Annex I to this Amendment. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower hereby consents to such reduction and/or reallocation of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Credit Exposures. Any assignments by the Lenders necessary to effect the foregoing are hereby consummated pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Section 3.2. On the Effective Date and after giving effect to such reduction and/or reallocation, the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount of each Revolving Lender shall be as set forth on Annex I to this Amendment. Each Lender party hereto hereby consents and agrees to the Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts as set forth on Annex I to this Amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the execution and delivery of any Assignment and Assumption, nor the payment of any processing or recordation fee or any amount pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Credit Agreement, shall be necessary in connection with the foregoing.
