R E C I T A L S

A.The Borrower, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”), the Issuing Bank, and Administrative Agent are parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of July 28, 2015, as amended or otherwise modified by a Limited Consent and Waiver dated as of October 7, 2015, a First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of April 29, 2016, a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of May 19, 2016, a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of July 22, 2016, a Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of November 23, 2016, a Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver dated as of December 29, 2016, a Sixth Amendment and Joinder to Credit Agreement dated as of June 15, 2017, and a Limited Waiver, Borrowing Base Redetermination Agreement, and Amendment No. 7 to Credit Agreement dated as of January 4, 2018 (as so amended or otherwise modified and as may be further amended or otherwise modified from time to time, including, without limitation, by this Agreement, the “Credit Agreement”).

B.The Borrower failed to cause the ratio of (i) consolidated current assets of the Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries (including the unused amount of the total Commitments, but excluding non-cash assets under ASC 815) to (ii) consolidated current liabilities of the Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries (excluding non-cash obligations under ASC 815 and current maturities under the Credit Agreement), to be greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017, as required under Section 9.01(b) of the Credit Agreement (the “Designated Default”).

C.The Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders waive the Designated Default and any Representation Defaults (as defined below).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.Same Terms.  

(a)All terms used herein which are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meanings when used herein, unless the context hereof otherwise requires or provides.  In addition, (i) all references in the Loan Documents to the “Agreement” shall mean the Credit Agreement as the same shall hereafter be amended or otherwise modified from time to time, and (ii) all references in the Loan Documents to the “Loan Documents” shall mean the Loan Documents as the same shall hereafter be amended or otherwise modified from time to time.

(b)Section 1.04 of the Credit Agreement is hereby incorporated herein mutatis mutandis.

2.Limited Waiver.  

 


 

(a)The Borrower and each Guarantor party hereto hereby acknowledge the existence of the Designated Default and each Default that may have arisen out of a representation or warranty made by the Borrower that no Default had occurred and was continuing (but only to the extent such representation or warranty was untrue solely due to the Designated Default) (the “Representation Defaults” and together with the Designated Defaults, the “Subject Defaults”).  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders hereby waive the Subject Defaults.

(b)The waiver by the Lenders described in this Section 2 is limited to the Subject Defaults.  Such waiver is limited to the extent expressly described herein and shall not be construed to be a consent to, or a permanent waiver of, noncompliance with Section 9.01(b) of the Credit Agreement, or any other terms, provisions, covenants, warranties, or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents.  The Lenders expressly reserve the right to exercise any rights and remedies available to them in connection with any other present or future Defaults with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other provision of any Loan Document other than the Subject Defaults.  The description herein of the Subject Defaults is 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.  The failure of the Lenders to give notice to any Loan Party of any such other Defaults is not intended to be nor shall be a waiver thereof.  Each Loan Party hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Lenders require and will require strict performance by the Loan Parties of all of their respective obligations, agreements, and covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and no inaction or action by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Lender regarding any Default (including but not limited to the Subject Defaults) is intended to be or shall be a waiver thereof other than the waiver of the Subject Defaults expressly provided for in this Section 2.  Other than the waiver of the Subject Defaults expressly provided for in this Section 2, each Loan Party hereby also agrees and acknowledges that no course of dealing and no delay in exercising any right, power, or remedy conferred to any Lender in the Credit Agreement or in any other Loan Document 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”).  For the avoidance of doubt, each Loan Party also agrees and acknowledges that neither the waiver provided in this Agreement nor any other waiver provided by the Lenders prior to the date hereof shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any of the Lender Rights other than the waiver of the Subject Defaults expressly provided for in this Section 2 or such other waivers of specified Defaults expressly provided by the Lenders prior to the date hereof.

 

3.Conditions Precedent.  The obligations and agreements of the Lenders as set forth in this Agreement are subject to the satisfaction (in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent), unless waived in writing by Administrative Agent, of each of the following conditions (and upon such satisfaction, this Agreement shall be deemed to be effective as of the Waiver Effective Date):

(a)Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have received executed counterparts of this Agreement from each of the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Majority Lenders.

(b)Fees and Expenses.  The Administrative Agent shall have received payment of all fees and expenses due to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent, in each case, in connection with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement and, in the case of expenses and legal fees, to the extent invoiced in reasonable detail at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Waiver
