Each Credit Party hereby further acknowledges and agrees that the Possible Events of Default, if they occur or had they occurred, would constitute Events of Default for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents prior to giving effect to Section 3(b) herein. After giving effect to Section 3(b), each
Credit Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Subject Defaults are Immature Events of Default (as defined in Section 2 above), and that such Immature Events of Default have occurred and are continuing.
(b)The Lenders hereby agree, subject to the terms of this Agreement, including the last sentence of this Section 3(b), to extend the period before such Subject Defaults become Events of Default under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document until the date (the "Termination Date") that is the earlier to occur of (i) the Scheduled Expiration Time (as defined below), and (ii) the occurrence of any Termination Event (as defined below). For purposes hereof, “Scheduled Expiration Time” means 12:01 a.m., April 12, 2016; provided that, if prior to such scheduled time, all commodity-price Swap Agreements with Barclays Bank plc have been unwound by the applicable Credit Party and all proceeds thereof have been directed by such Credit Parties to be applied directly as prepayments on the then outstanding Loans (other than as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this Section 3(b)), then upon the application of all such proceeds, the “Scheduled Expiration Time” shall be automatically extended to 12:01 a.m., May 10, 2016 unless the Termination Date has otherwise occurred prior thereto under clause (ii) above or the representative of the Ad Hoc Committee (as defined below) notifies the Administrative Agent (which may be by electronic mail to counsel for the Administrative Agent) that the Ad Hoc Committee is not supportive of such extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Termination Date for any particular Subject Default shall not be earlier than the date such Subject Default would have otherwise become an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement. If (x) the Administrative Agent has received an email from the representative of the Ad Hoc Committee reflecting the Ad Hoc Committee’s support of such extension, (y) no Termination Event has occurred, and (z) the then most recently delivered 13-Week Budget delivered in compliance with Section 5.01(n) of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, which was reasonably acceptable to both the Administrative Agent and the Borrower reflects a need for cash to maintain adequate liquidity at the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, then up to $6,000,000 of the proceeds from the unwinding of the commodity-price Swap Agreements with Barclays Bank plc shall be directed to the Borrower to be deposited into its operating deposit account to be used for working capital purposes.
(c)The extension agreement by the Lenders described above is contingent upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 below and is limited to the Subject Defaults. This extension agreement is limited to the extent expressly described herein and shall not be construed to be a consent to or a waiver of the Subject Defaults or any other terms, provisions, covenants, warranties or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the extension of such time period as provided above before the Subject Defaults become Events of Default). The Secured Parties reserve (i) the right to exercise any rights and remedies available to them in accordance with the Loan Documents or applicable law in connection with such Subject Defaults on and after the Termination Date and (ii) the right to exercise any rights and remedies available to them in accordance with the Loan Documents or applicable law in connection with any other present or future Default with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other provision of any Loan Document.
(d)Each Credit Party hereby further agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Subject Defaults have not been waived as a result of this Agreement and that such extension agreement is temporary in nature, and (ii) from and after the Termination Date, all Subject Defaults shall become Events of Default (unless otherwise provided under the Loan Documents).

(ii) any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement was incorrect or misleading in any material respect;
(iii) the exercise by any one or more creditors or holders of Indebtedness of any Credit Party in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $1,000,000 of any right or remedy available to them in connection with any default under the documents governing such Indebtedness resulting in, or giving such creditor or holder the right to initiate, (A) any foreclosure or enforcement action against any Collateral or (B) acceleration of such Indebtedness;
(iv) the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or other case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law or any dissolution, winding up or liquidation proceeding with respect to any Credit Party (regardless of whether commenced by the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person);
(v) any Credit Party repudiates or asserts a defense in writing to any obligation or liability under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or makes or pursues a claim in writing against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in connection with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(vi) the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default (other than the Subject Defaults); and
(vii) the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that any one or more of the following circumstances exists: (A) any of the Parent, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is not negotiating in good faith with the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or certain holders of the Unsecured Notes, on the terms of a mutually acceptable potential debtor-in-possession financing by one or more of the Lenders (a “Potential DIP”), a full conversion of all outstanding Unsecured Notes to Equity Interests of the Parent (the “Full Conversion”), and a full monetization of all commodity-price Swap Agreements of the Parent, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the application of such proceeds (other than as required and agreed to under Section 5(e) and Section 3(f) below) are being considered by all parties involved) (the “Full Monetization”), in each case, in connection with an orderly pre-arranged or pre-packaged bankruptcy filing on or prior to May 15, 2016, (B) an ad hoc committee of holders of the Unsecured Notes holding at least 50% of the then outstanding Unsecured Notes (the “Ad Hoc Commitee”) are not negotiating in good faith with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on the Potential DIP, the Full Conversion, and Full Monetization, in each case, in connection with an orderly pre-arranged or pre-packaged bankruptcy filing on or prior to May 15, 2016, or (C) any of the Parent, the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary threatens in writing to recharacterize, avoid, void, subordinate or attack in any manner any Obligation or any Lien created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents or claim that the Administrative Agent has a Lien on less than 100% of the total value of the Parent’s, the Borrower’s and the Restricted Subsidiaries’ Oil and Gas Properties attributable to “proved reserves” (as defined in the Definitions for Oil and Gas Reserves as promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (or any generally recognized successor) as in effect from time to time); provided, however, none of the above clauses (vii)(A) through (vii)(C) shall be a Termination Event until five (5) Business Days after prior written notice of the Administrative Agent’s determination thereof is delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, Attn: Xxxxx Xxxxxx (xxxxx.xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx) and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (xxxxx.xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx) (with a copy to: Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP, Attn: Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx) and Xxxx Xxxxx (xxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx)).
The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the written notice provided for in clause (vii) above may be delivered by electronic mail to the e-mail addresses noted above and agrees to accept such electronic mail as written notice.
(f)On each date that any of the Credit Party’s commodity-price Swap Agreements (i) settles on its scheduled payment dates or (ii) is unwound, terminated or liquidated, in each case, from the date hereof until May 10, 2016, the Borrower shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Majority Lenders, prepay the then outstanding Loans in an amount equal to the settlement, unwinding, termination or liquidation payments, as applicable, received on such trade or transaction and such prepayment shall be effected by the applicable Credit Party directing the proceeds thereof to be applied as a prepayment of then outstanding Loans.

Section 6.Acknowledgments and Agreements.
(a)Each Credit Party acknowledges that on the date hereof all outstanding Obligations are payable in accordance with their terms and each Credit Party waives any defense, offset, counterclaim or recoupment, in each case existing on the date hereof, with respect to such Obligations.
(b)The descriptions herein of the Subject Defaults are based upon the information provided to the Lenders on or prior to the date hereof and shall not be deemed to exclude the existence of any other Defaults or Events of Default. The failure of the Lenders to give notice to the Borrower or the Guarantors of any such other Defaults or Events of Default is not intended to be nor shall be a waiver thereof. Each Credit Party hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Secured Parties require and will require strict performance by the Credit Parties of all of their respective obligations, agreements and covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including any action or circumstance which is prohibited or limited during the existence of a Default or Event of Default), and no inaction or action by any Secured Party regarding any Default or Event of Default (including but not limited to the Subject Defaults) is intended to be or shall be a waiver thereof. Each Credit Party hereby also agrees and acknowledges that no course of dealing and no delay in exercising any right, power, or remedy conferred to any Secured Party in the Credit Agreement or in any other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any such right, power, or remedy (collectively, the "Lender Rights").
(c)Furthermore, each party hereto hereby agrees that, in no event and under no circumstance shall any past or future discussions with the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, serve to (i) cause a modification of the Loan Documents, (ii) establish a custom or course of dealing with respect to any of the Loan Documents, (iii) operate as a waiver of any existing or future Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents, (iv) entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand whatsoever beyond those required by the Loan Documents, or (v) in any way modify, change, impair, affect, diminish or release any Credit Party’s obligations or liability under the Loan Documents or any other liability any Credit Party may have to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any other Secured Party.
(d)For the avoidance of doubt, each Credit Party hereby also agrees and acknowledges that the extension provided under Section 3 above shall not operate as a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any of the Lender Rights as to the Subject Defaults or otherwise (other than the extension of time provided under Section 3 as to Subject Defaults). The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereby expressly reserve all of their rights, remedies, and claims under the Loan Documents except as expressly limited in Section 3 above. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver or relinquishment of (i) any Default or Event of Default (including, without limitation, any Subject Default) under any of the Loan Documents, (ii) any of the agreements, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents, (iii) any rights or remedies of any Secured Party with respect to the Loan Documents (except as expressly limited in Section 3 above), or (iv) the rights of any Secured Party to collect the full amounts owing to them under the Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt and other than as permitted under Section 3(g) above, the Lenders have no obligation to make additional Loans and the Issuing Lender has no obligation to issue, extend or amend any Letters of Credit until all Defaults (including the Subject Defaults) have been waived in writing by the Majority Lenders (it being understood that none of the Lenders is obligated to grant any such waiver) and all other conditions as required under the Credit Agreement have been met.
(e)Each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender does hereby adopt, ratify, and confirm the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and acknowledges and agrees that the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, is and remains in full force and effect, and the Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that their respective liabilities and obligations under the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, the other Loan Documents, and the Guaranty, are not impaired in any respect by this Agreement.
(f)This Agreement is a Loan Document for the purposes of the provisions of the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, any breach of representations, warranties, and covenants under this Agreement shall be a Default or Event of Default, as applicable, under the Credit Agreement.
Section 7.Reaffirmation of the Guaranty. Each Credit Party hereby ratifies, confirms, acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under the Guaranty are in full force and effect and that such Credit Party continues to unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the full and punctual payment, when due, whether at stated maturity or earlier by acceleration or otherwise, all of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty), as such Guaranteed Obligations may have been amended, extended and increased by this Agreement, and its execution and delivery of this Agreement does not indicate or establish an approval or consent requirement by such Credit Party under the Guaranty in connection with the execution and delivery of amendments, consents or waivers to the Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents.
Section 8.Release. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Credit Party hereby, for itself and its successors and assigns, fully and without reserve, releases, acquits, and forever discharges each Secured Party, its respective successors and assigns, officers, directors, employees, representatives, trustees, attorneys, agents and affiliates (collectively the “Released Parties” and individually a “Released Party”) from any and all actions, claims, demands, causes of action, judgments, executions, suits, debts, liabilities, costs, damages, expenses or other obligations of any kind and nature whatsoever, direct and/or indirect, at law or in equity, whether now existing or hereafter asserted, whether absolute or contingent, whether due or to become due, whether disputed or undisputed, whether known or unknown (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OFFSETS, REDUCTIONS, REBATEMENT, CLAIMS OF USURY OR CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY RELEASED PARTY) (collectively, the “Released Claims”), for or because of any matters or things occurring, existing or actions done, omitted to be done, or suffered to be done by any of the Released Parties, in each case, on or prior to the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date and are in any way directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way connected to any of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (collectively, the “Released Matters”). Each Credit Party, by execution hereof, hereby acknowledges and agrees that the agreements in this Section 8 are intended to cover and be in full satisfaction for all or any alleged injuries or damages arising in connection with the Released Matters herein compromised and settled. Each Credit Party hereby further agrees that it will not xxx any Released Party on the basis of any Released Claim released, remised and discharged by the Credit Parties pursuant to this Section 8. In entering into this Agreement, each Credit Party consulted with, and has been represented by, legal counsel and expressly disclaim any reliance on any representations, acts or omissions by any of the Released Parties and hereby agrees and acknowledges that the validity and effectiveness of the releases set forth herein do not depend in any way on any such representations, acts and/or omissions or the accuracy, completeness or validity hereof. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and payment in full of the Obligations.
Section 9.Financial Advisor. The Administrative Agent has retained, through its counsel or otherwise, a financial advisor (such financial advisor, or any successor or replacement thereof, the “Financial Advisor”). In consideration of the agreements given herein, the Parent and the Borrower each acknowledge and agree that the Parent and the Borrower shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Financial Advisor and shall promptly provide to the Financial Advisor such information regarding the operations, business affairs, assets and financial condition of the Parent, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries as reasonably requested by the Financial Advisor. In addition, the Parent and the Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, permit the Financial Advisor to discuss such operations, business affairs, assets and financial condition with the officers and directors of the Parent, the Borrower, and their respective Subsidiaries and shall make such officers and directors available to the Financial Advisor for such purpose as may be reasonably requested and during normal business hours. The Borrower acknowledges that it is required to pay all reasonable and documented out-of pocket costs and expenses of the Financial Advisor in accordance with Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement.
Section 10.Counterparts. 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. 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.
Section 11.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
Section 12.Incorporation by Reference. Sections 1.03, 9.03(a), 9.07, 9.09, 9.10, 9.11, 9.15 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis.
Section 13.NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE DETERMINED SOLELY FROM WRITTEN AGREEMENTS, DOCUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS, AND ANY PRIOR ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES ARE SUPERSEDED BY AND MERGED INTO SUCH WRITINGS. THIS AMENDMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER WRITTEN LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED BY PARENT, BORROWER, ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK AND/OR LENDERS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT REGARDING THE MATTERS HEREIN BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BY SUCH PARTIES.
