Proposed Terms of Amendment of the Note

 

Acceleration; Change of Control:

 

The parties would acknowledge that a principal purpose of including the events of acceleration in the Note was to insure that the well completion and fracking services (the “Services”) provided by Viking in Turkey would continue to be available to the Company.

 

Dalea Partners would represent to the Company that (1) Dalea Partners and/or NMM and their affiliates disposed of all of their interest in Viking on March 3, 2016, but obtained the Services business in that transaction (the “Viking Restructuring”), (2) such Services business is now owned by Production Solutions International Petrol Arama Hizmetleri Anonim Sirketi (“PSIL”), and (3) PSIL is controlled, directly or indirectly, by Dalea Partners and NMM.

 

The parties would acknowledge that PSIL has entered into a Master Services Agreement (the “MSA”) with the Company (or a subsidiary) pursuant to which PSIL has agreed to provide the Services to the Company (or a subsidiary) on a “most favored nation” pricing basis in accordance with the terms of the MSA. PSIL would agree to amend the MSA so that the term would not end prior to the maturity of the Note.

 

In order to insure that PSIL will continue to be able to provide the Services to the Company in Turkey, the following events would result in acceleration of the Note:

 

 

(1)

 

(2)

 

(3)

 

 

(4)

 

(5)

 

(6)

Reduction of ownership by Dalea Partners (and other controlled affiliates of NMM) of equity interest in PSIL to below 50%.

Disposal by Dalea Partners or PSIL of all or substantially all of its assets to any person that does not own a controlling interest in Dalea Partners or PSIL and is not controlled by NMM.

Acquisition by any person not controlled by NMM and that does not own a controlling equity interest in Dalea Partners or PSIL of more than 50% of the voting interests of Dalea Partners or PSIL.

Termination of the MSA other than as a result of an uncured default thereunder by the Company (or its subsidiary).

Default by PSIL under the MSA, which default is not remedied within a period of 30 days after notice thereof to PSIL.

Insolvency or bankruptcy of PSIL.

Principal Amount:

 

 

The principal amount of the Note would be reduced by offsetting the principal amount of the Note against and in exchange for the payable owed by TransAtlantic Albania Ltd. to VIL and subject to an indemnity obligation of the Company  in the amount of $3,535,946.79 (the “Account”), which account has been assigned, or is assignable, by VIL to a person designated by NMM in connection with the Viking Restructuring.  In connection with the foregoing, NMM would cause VIL to assign (and to obtain any third party consents necessary to permit the assignment of) the Account to Dalea Partners so that it may be exchanged for the reduction in the Note contemplated above.

 

As a result of the foregoing, the principal balance of the Note, as amended, would be $7,964,053.21.

 

Collateral:

 

Dalea Partners would pledge as security for the Note the 13% Convertible Notes of the Company held by Dalea Partners in the principal amount of $2,050,000 (the “Dalea Convertible Notes”). NMM may convert or exchange the Dalea Convertible Notes into or for other securities of the Company. Any newly exchanged or converted security would then be pledged as substitute collateral.  

 

Principal Reduction:

 

Dalea Partners would agree that interest payable to Dalea Partners under the Dalea Convertible Notes would not be paid to Dalea Partners and instead would be credited against the outstanding principal balance of the Note. If the Dalea Convertible Notes are converted or exchanged as contemplated in the collateral provision above, any interest or dividends payable to Dalea Partners on these other securities of the Company would also be credited against the outstanding principal balance of the Note.  Dalea Partners would execute an irrevocable instruction to the paying agent for the Dalea Convertible Notes (and would agree to execute a similar letter if the Dalea Convertible Notes are converted or exchanged as described above) to pay any interest otherwise due under the Dalea Convertible Notes to the Company and the Company would agree to apply such amounts against the outstanding principal of the Note.

 

Maturity Date:

 

The maturity of the Note would be extended by two years to June 13, 2019.

 

Interest Rate:

 

The interest rate and interest payment terms of the Note would remain the same.

 

Guaranty:

 

The Guaranty of the Note by NMM would remain in effect, but be amended so that the Guaranty would be deemed applicable to the Note as modified.
