At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $100,000, or such other amount as is required to comply with the provisions of Section 2.01(b). Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of four Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.
SECTION 2.03.    Borrowing Base.
(a)    Borrowing Base. The Borrowing Base in effect as of Second Amendment Effective Date (as was theretofore set by the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders, and as the same still now remains in effect), as acknowledged by the Borrowers, is $140,000,000. Such Borrowing Base shall continue to remain in effect until the next redetermination of the Borrowing Base made pursuant to this Section 2.03. The Borrowing Base shall be determined in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 2.03(e) and is subject to periodic redetermination pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below, and mandatory reductions pursuant to clause (d) below. No Borrowing Base redetermination was made in connection with either the First Amendment or the Second Amendment, respectively.
(b)    Calculation of Borrowing Base.
(i)    The Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders on or before each March 1st, beginning March 1, 2021, an Independent Reserve Report dated effective as of the immediately preceding December 31st, and such other information as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties included or to be included in the Borrowing Base. In the normal course of business (but in any event within 30 days after the Administrative Agent’s and the Revolving Lenders’ receipt of such Independent Reserve Report (and such additional Reserve Report, if any, required under the last sentence of subsection (iv) below) and other information), (A) the Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Revolving Lender the Administrative Agent’s recommendation for the redetermined Borrowing Base, (B) the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders shall redetermine the Borrowing Base in accordance with clause (e) below, and (C) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the amount of the Borrowing Base as so redetermined.
(ii)    The Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on or before each September 1st, beginning September 1, 2020, an Internal Reserve Report or an Independent Reserve Report dated effective as of the immediately preceding June 30th and, in each instance, such other information as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties included or to be included in the Borrowing Base. In the normal course of business (but in any event within 30 days after the Administrative Agent’s and the Revolving Lenders’ receipt of such Internal Reserve Report or Internal Reserve Report (and such additional Reserve Report, if any, required under the last sentence of subsection (iv) below) and other information), (A) the Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Revolving Lender the Administrative Agent’s recommendation for the redetermined Borrowing Base, (B) the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders shall redetermine the Borrowing Base in accordance with clause (e) below, and (C) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the amount of the Borrowing Base as so redetermined; provided that no redetermination of the Borrowing Base (other than reductions pursuant to clause (d)) shall occur prior to the First Scheduled Borrowing Base Redetermination (absent the occurrence of any Event of Default).
37


(iii)    In the event that the Company does not furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders the Independent Reserve Report, Internal Reserve Report or other information specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above by the date specified therein (or such additional Reserve Report, if any, required under the last sentence of subsection (iv) below), the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders may nonetheless redetermine the Borrowing Base and redesignate the Borrowing Base from time to time thereafter in their sole discretion (but subject to clause (e) below) until the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders receive the relevant Independent Reserve Report, Internal Reserve Report, or other information, as applicable, at which time the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders shall redetermine the Borrowing Base as otherwise specified in this Section.
(iv)    Each delivery of a Reserve Report by the Company to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders that (A) the Borrowers and the Guarantors, as applicable, own the Oil and Gas Properties specified therein subject to an Acceptable Security Interest to the extent required hereunder (other than any thereof that have been Disposed of since the date of such Reserve Report in a Disposition permitted by this Agreement and noted to the Administrative Agent under the certificate required under Section 5.11(c)) and free and clear of any Liens (except Permitted Liens) and (B) to the knowledge of the Borrowers and the Guarantors on and as of the date of such Reserve Report, each material Oil and Gas Property identified as “proved, developed, producing” was developed for oil and gas, and the material wells pertaining to such Oil and Gas Properties that are described therein as producing wells (“Wells”), were each producing oil and/or gas in paying quantities, except for Wells that were utilized as water or gas injection wells, carbon dioxide wells or as water disposal wells (each as noted in such Reserve Report) or wells that were shut in for maintenance, repair or offset drilling activity (each as noted in such Reserve Report).
(c)    Interim Redeterminations. In addition to the scheduled Borrowing Base redeterminations provided for in clause (b) above, commencing after the First Scheduled Borrowing Base Redetermination, the Borrowing Base may be further redetermined by the Revolving Lenders or the Borrowers as follows, in each case, based on such information as the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders deem relevant (but in accordance with clause (e) below):
(i)    the Administrative Agent may, and shall at the request of the Majority Revolving Lenders, make one redetermination of the Borrowing Base during any six-month period between scheduled redeterminations; and
(ii)    the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrowers, make one redetermination of the Borrowing Base during any six-month period between scheduled redeterminations.
For the avoidance of doubt, such additional redeterminations of the Borrowing Base shall not constitute nor be construed as a consent to any transaction or proposed transaction that would not be permitted under the terms of this Agreement. The party requesting the redetermination under this clause (c) shall give the other party at least 5 days’ prior written notice that a redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this clause (c) is to be performed (or such shorter period as each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may agree to in their respective sole discretion); provided that, no such prior written notice shall be required for any redetermination made by the Revolving Lenders during the existence of a Default. In connection with any redetermination of the Borrowing Base under this clause (c), the Borrowers shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders with such information regarding the Borrowers’ and the Guarantors’ business (including, without limitation, its Oil and Gas Properties, the Proved Hydrocarbon Interests, and production relating thereto) as the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender may reasonably request; provided that, in the case of requests for an increase to the Borrowing Base of an amount in excess of 7.5% of the Borrowing Base then in effect, the request of an updated Independent Reserve Report shall be deemed to be reasonable. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of each redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this clause (c) and the amount of the Borrowing Base as so redetermined.

38


(d)    Mandatory Reductions. Subject only to those certain exceptions from the following that are expressly provided for as part of the Second Amendment BB Reduction Waiver respecting such Disposition of those certain Second Amendment Release Oil and Gas Properties as have been duly approved by the Majority Lenders (as more particularly set forth within the Second Amendment), if any other Trigger Event has the effect of causing the sum of (i) the BB Value of all Dispositions of Oil and Gas Properties made since the date of the most recent Borrowing Base redetermination (including such Trigger Event), (ii) the BB Value of BB Hedges which have been novated, assigned, unwound, terminated, expired or amended since the date of the most recent Borrowing Base redetermination less the BB Value of any new BB Hedges concurrently put in place with the termination of such BB Hedges since the most recent Borrowing Base redetermination (including such Trigger Event), and (iii) the BB Value attributed to Oil and Gas Properties subject to title defects not cured to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 5.12 within the 45-day period permitted under Section 5.12 (including such Trigger Event), to exceed 5% of the Borrowing Base then in effect, then effective as of the applicable Trigger Event Date, the Borrowing Base shall be automatically reduced by the BB Value of Oil and Gas Properties and/or BB Hedges, as applicable, that are covered by such Trigger Event as determined by the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the mandatory reduction in the Borrowing Base required under this clause (d) shall not constitute nor be construed as a consent to any transaction or proposed transaction that would not be permitted under the terms of this Agreement.
(e)    Standards for Redetermination. The Borrowing Base will be redetermined in accordance with this Section 2.03 on a semi-annual basis on each April 1st and October 1st, commencing with April 1, 2021. Each redetermination of the Borrowing Base by the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this Section shall be made (i) in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders (but in accordance with the other provisions of this clause (e)), (ii) in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s and the Revolving Lenders’ usual and customary internal standards and practices for valuing and redetermining the value of Oil and Gas Properties in connection with reserve based oil and gas loan transactions, (iii) in conjunction with the most recent Independent Reserve Report or Internal Reserve Report, as applicable, or other information received by the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders relating to the Proved Hydrocarbon Interests of the Borrowers and the Guarantors, and (iv) based upon the estimated value of the Proved Hydrocarbon Interests owned by the Borrowers and the Guarantors as determined by the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders. In valuing and redetermining the Borrowing Base, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders may also consider the business, financial condition, and Indebtedness obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors and such other factors as the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders customarily deem appropriate as part of their oil and gas lending criteria, including without limitation, commodity price assumptions, projections of production, operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, capital costs, working capital requirements, liquidity evaluations, dividend payments, environmental costs, and legal costs. In that regard, the Borrowers acknowledge that the determination of the Borrowing Base contains a value cushion (market value in excess of loan value), which is essential for the adequate protection of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders. Subject to the last sentence of Section 5.18(a), to the extent a Proved Hydrocarbon Interest is not encumbered by an Acceptable Security Interest, such Proved Hydrocarbon Interest shall not be included or considered for inclusion in the Borrowing Base to the extent an Acceptable Security Interest thereon would be necessary to cause the Administrative Agent to have an Acceptable Security Interest in at least 90% (by value) of the Proved Hydrocarbon Interests and the Oil and Gas Properties relating thereto (i.e., the positive difference, if any, between 90% (by value) of the Proved Hydrocarbon Interests and the Oil and Gas Properties relating thereto and the percentage (by value) of such Proved Hydrocarbon Interests that are or will be substantially contemporaneously with such redetermination of the Borrowing Base encumbered by an Acceptable Security Interest).
39


At all times after the Administrative Agent has given the Borrowers notification of a redetermination of the Borrowing Base under this Section, the Borrowing Base shall be equal to the redetermined amount or such lesser amount irrevocably designated by the Borrowers in their sole discretion and disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders until the Borrowing Base is subsequently redetermined in accordance with this Section; provided that the Borrowers shall not request that the Borrowing Base be reduced to a level that would result in a Borrowing Base Deficiency (without giving effect to the proviso in the definition thereof). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) to the extent the redetermined Borrowing Base is less than or equal to the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such redetermination, such redetermined Borrowing Base must be approved by the Administrative Agent and the Supermajority Revolving Lenders, and (y) to the extent the redetermined Borrowing Base is greater than the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such redetermination, such redetermined Borrowing Base must be approved by the Administrative Agent and all of the Revolving Lenders.
SECTION 2.04.    Method of Borrowing.
(a)    Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Company, as the designated borrowing agent on behalf of all of the Borrowers, shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Tulsa time three business Days (or such shorter time period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Tulsa time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
(b)     Conversions and Continuations. In order to elect to convert or continue a Revolving Loan under this paragraph, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election no later than (i) in the case of a proposed conversion to or continuation of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Tulsa time three Business Days (or such shorter time period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) before the date of the proposed conversion or continuation or (ii) in the case of a conversion to an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Tulsa time, on the date of the proposed conversion. Each such telephonic Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Notice of Conversion or Continuation in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Company and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(A)    the requested conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day),
(B)    the amount and Type of the Loan to be converted or continued,

40


(C)    whether a conversion or continuation is requested and, if a conversion, into what Type of Loan, and

Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation under this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall provide each applicable Lender with a copy thereof and, in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of a Eurodollar Loan, notify each applicable Lender of the applicable interest rate. The portion of Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing that are converted to Loans of another Type shall constitute a new Borrowing.
SECTION 2.05.    Letters of Credit.
(a)    The Issuer, the Revolving Lenders, and the Borrowers each agrees that effective as of the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued and maintained under, and to be governed by the terms and conditions of, this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date, to issue, increase, extend, amend, renew, replace, or refinance the Expiration Date of Letters of Credit for the account of any Credit Party, provided that no Letter of Credit will be issued, increased, amended, renewed, replaced, refinanced or extended:
(i)    if such issuance, increase, amendment, renewal, replacement, refinancing or extension would cause the Letter of Credit Exposure to exceed the lesser of (A) the lesser of (1) $14,000,000 and (2) 10% of the Borrowing Base then in effect and (B) an amount equal to (1) the Revolving Commitments in effect at such time minus (2) the sum of the aggregate outstanding amount of all Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations;
(ii)    if a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists at such time or would result therefrom;
(iii)    unless such Letter of Credit has an Expiration Date not later than the earlier of (A) 18 months after its issuance or extension and (B) five Business Days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date; provided that (1) if the Revolving Commitments are terminated in whole pursuant to Section 2.08, the Borrowers shall either (A) deposit into the Cash Collateral Account cash in an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Exposure for the Letters of Credit which have an expiry date beyond the date the Commitments are terminated or (B) provide a replacement letter of credit (or other security) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuer in an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Exposure for such Letters of Credit which have an expiry date beyond the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated, and (2) any such Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may expressly provide for an automatic extension of one additional year so long as such Letter of Credit expressly allows the Issuer, at its sole discretion, to elect not to provide such extension within the time periods agreed to in the applicable Letter of Credit; provided that, in any event, such automatic extension may not result in an Expiration Date that occurs after the fifth Business Day prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date;
(iv)    unless such Letter of Credit is a standby letter of credit not supporting the repayment of indebtedness for borrowed money of any Person;
(v)    unless such Letter of Credit is in form and substance acceptable to the applicable Issuer in its sole discretion;

41


(vi)    unless the applicable Borrower has delivered to the applicable Issuer a completed and executed Letter of Credit Application and/or other documentation required in connection with such issuance, increase, amendment, renewal, replacement, refinancing or extension;
(vii)    unless such Letter of Credit is governed by (A) the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, or (B) the International Standby Practices (ISP98), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590, in either case, including any subsequent revisions thereof approved by a Congress of the International Chamber of Commerce and adhered to by the applicable Issuer;
(viii)    if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the applicable Issuer from issuing, increasing, amending, renewing, replacing, refinancing or extending such Letter of Credit, or any legal requirement applicable to the applicable Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from, the issuance, increase, amendment, renewal, replacement, refinancing or extension of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date hereof, or shall impose upon such Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date hereof and which such Issuer deems material to it;
(ix)    if issuance, increase, amendment, renewal, replacement, refinancing or extension of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the applicable Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;
(x)    if such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;
(xi)    if such Letter of Credit supports the obligations of any Person in respect of (x) a lease of real property, or (y) an employment contract if the Issuer reasonably determines that the applicable Borrower’s obligation to reimburse any draws under such Letter of Credit may be limited;
(xii)    any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless such Defaulting Lender’s Fronting Exposure as to Letters of Credit has been fully reallocated or Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 2.20 below or the applicable Issuer has entered into other satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate such Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender; or
(xiii)    the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are not satisfied.
(b)    Upon the date of the issuance, increase, amendment, renewal, replacement, refinancing or extension of a Letter of Credit or the deemed issuance of the Existing Letters of Credit under Section 2.05(a), the Issuer shall be deemed to have sold to each other Revolving Lender and each other Revolving Lender shall have been deemed to have purchased from the Issuer a participation in the related Letter of Credit Obligations equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage at such date and such sale and purchase shall otherwise be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Issuer shall promptly notify each such participant Revolving Lender by facsimile, telephone, or electronic mail (PDF) of each Letter of Credit issued or increased and the actual dollar amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit; provided that failure of the Issuer to notify the Revolving Lenders in accordance with this clause (b) shall in no way release, discharge, or otherwise extinguish any Revolving Lender’s obligation
42


from funding its participation to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer in accordance with this Section.
(c)    A Letter of Credit (other than the issuance of Existing Letters of Credit which are deemed issued hereunder) shall be issued, increased, amended, renewed, replaced, refinanced or extended pursuant to a Letter of Credit Application given by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuer by facsimile, electronic mail or other writing not later than 11:00 a.m. (Tulsa time) at least one Business Day before the proposed date of issuance, increase, or extension for the Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit Application shall be fully completed and shall specify the information required therein. Each Letter of Credit Application shall be irrevocable and binding on the applicable Borrower.
(d)    The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer in respect of any Letter of Credit in Dollars on the date that the Borrowers receive notice from such Issuer (or if such notice is not received prior to 1:00 p.m. Tulsa time on any Business Day, then no later than the next succeeding Business Day) that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person.
(e)    If any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and a Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to the foregoing clause (d) or any such payment in respect thereof is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be immediately due and payable with interest thereon computed at the rate of interest per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable during such period to Loans that are Eurodollar Loans plus 3.00%, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of such failure, and each Revolving Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage in Dollars and in immediately available funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Revolving Lender prior to 1:00 p.m. Tulsa time on any Business Day, such Revolving Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Applicable Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence (or, if such notice is not received prior to 1:00 p.m. Tulsa time on any Business Day, then no later than the next succeeding Business Day). Whenever the Issuer receives from a Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a Revolving Lender pursuant to this clause (e), such Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Revolving Lender in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Revolving Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.
(f)    Each Borrower’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the applicable Revolving Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, the existence of a Borrowing Base Deficiency, and irrespective of any of the following:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;
(ii)    any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

43


(iii)    the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;
(iv)    any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(v)    payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or
(vi)    any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a Borrower’s obligations hereunder.
Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to a Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever. Any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in any case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this clause (f) shall be deemed to release any Issuer from liability with respect to its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(g)    If and to the extent any Revolving Lender shall not have so made its Applicable Percentage of the amount of the payment required by clause (e) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuer, such Revolving Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any amount so unpaid together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and thereafter until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at the rate per annum applicable to Eurodollar Loans. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuer its Applicable Percentage of any such payment shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Applicable Percentage of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer such other Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any such payment.

44


(h)    The Borrowers shall furnish the Administrative Agent with (i) a copy of each Letter of Credit promptly upon the issuance, increase, amendment, renewal, replacement, refinancing or extension of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a copy of any amendment to such Letter of Credit promptly upon the effectiveness of such amendment.
(i)    The rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of Issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
(j)    If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Majority Revolving Lenders demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this clause (j), (ii) the Borrowers are required to pay to the Administrative Agent the excess attributable to the Letter of Credit Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(a), or (iii) the Borrowers are required to Cash Collateralize a Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to Section 2.19(a), then the Borrowers shall pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent (as a first priority, perfected security interest), for the benefit of the Issuer, at a location and pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, an amount in cash in dollars equal to such Letter of Credit Exposure or excess attributable to such Letter of Credit Exposure, as the case may be, as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuer and the Lenders, an exclusive first priority and continuing perfected security interest in and Lien on such account and all cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time deposited or held in such account, all deposits or wire transfers made thereto, any and all investments purchased with funds deposited in such account, all interest, dividends, cash, instruments, financial assets and other Property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise payable in respect of, or in exchange for, any or all of the foregoing, and all proceeds, products, accessions, rents, profits, income and benefits therefrom, and any substitutions and replacements therefor. The Borrowers’ obligations to deposit amounts pursuant to this clause (j) shall be absolute and unconditional, without regard to whether any beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit has attempted to draw down all or a portion of such amount under the terms of a Letter of Credit, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be subject to any defense or be affected by a right of set-off, counterclaim or recoupment which any Credit Party may now or hereafter have against any such beneficiary, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person for any reason whatsoever. Such deposit shall be held as collateral securing the payment and performance of any Borrower’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account; provided that investments of funds in such account in investments permitted by clause (a) or (c) under “Permitted Investments” may be made at the option of the Borrowers at their direction, risk and expense. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse, on a pro rata basis, the Issuer for Reimbursement Obligations and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the Letter of Credit Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors, if any, under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or pursuant to Section 2.20 as a result of a Defaulting Lender, and the Borrowers are not otherwise required to pay to the Administrative Agent the excess attributable to a Letter of Credit Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(a), then such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or the events giving rise to such Cash Collateralization pursuant to Section 2.20 have been satisfied or resolved.

45


SECTION 2.06.     Funding of Borrowings.
(a)    Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Tulsa time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent designated by the Borrowers in the applicable Borrowing Request.
(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Eurodollar Borrowing or prior to 1:00 p.m., Tulsa time, on the date any proposed ABR Borrowing, as applicable, that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith within two Business Days after demand therefor such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
SECTION 2.07.     Interest Elections.
(a)    Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as provided in this Section. The Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
(b)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Company, as the designated borrowing agent on behalf of all of the Borrowers, shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.04 if the Borrowers were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Company.
(c)    Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i)    the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

46


(ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; and
(iii)    with respect to any Borrowing, whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing.
(d)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)    If the Company fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority Lenders, so notifies the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default or a Borrowing Base Deficiency is continuing (A) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (B) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
SECTION 2.08.     Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts.
(a)    RESERVED.
(b)    Revolving Commitments.
(i)    Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. If at any time the aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts or the Borrowing Base is terminated or reduced to zero, then the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the effective date of such termination or reduction.
(ii)    The Borrowers may at any time terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portion of the aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts; provided that (i) each reduction of the aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Outstandings would exceed the total aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts, as so reduced.
(iii)    The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts under paragraph (b) of this Section at least one (1) Business Day prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Revolving Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts delivered by the Borrowers may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts shall be permanent. Each reduction of the aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts shall be made ratably among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage of aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts.
47

(d)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(e)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(f)    The Indebtedness of the Borrowers to each Revolving Lender resulting (i) from Revolving Loans owing to such Revolving Lender shall be evidenced by a Revolving Note, if requested by such Revolving Lender.
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if requested by such payee, to such payee and its registered assigns).
SECTION 2.10.     Prepayment of Loans.
(a)    Mandatory Prepayments.
(i)    Borrowing Base Deficiency.
(A)    Other than as provided in clause (B) below, if a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, the Company shall take any of the following actions (and the failure of the Company to take such actions to remedy such Borrowing Base Deficiency shall constitute an election of clause (3) below):
(1)    prepay the Revolving Loans or, if the Revolving Loans have been repaid in full, make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide Cash Collateral for the Letter of Credit Exposure, such that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured within 30 days after the date of such deficiency;

(3)    (a) deliver, within 10 days after the date such deficiency notice is received by the Company from the Administrative Agent, written notice to the Administrative Agent indicating the Company’s election to first, repay the Revolving Loans, and second, make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide Cash Collateral for the Letter of Credit Exposure, each in six monthly installments equal to one-sixth of such Borrowing Base Deficiency with the first such installment due 30 days after the date of such deficiency, and each following installment due 30 days after the preceding installment is due (or if earlier, made) and (b) make such payments and deposits within such time periods; or
48


(4)    (a) deliver, within 10 days after the date such deficiency notice is received by the Company from the Administrative Agent, written notice to the Administrative Agent indicating the Company’s election to combine the options provided in clauses (2) and (3) above, and also indicating the amount to be prepaid in installments and the amount to be provided as additional Collateral, and (b) make such six equal consecutive monthly installments and deliver such additional Collateral within the time required under clauses (2) and (3) above.

(B)    If the Borrowing Base is reduced under Section 2.03(d) and such reduction results in a Borrowing Base Deficiency, then the Company shall (1) with respect to a Disposition, prepay the Revolving Loans or, if the Revolving Loans have been repaid in full, make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide Cash Collateral for all Letter of Credit Exposure, such that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured within one Business Day after the date the proceeds of such Disposition are received and (2) with respect to a Hedge Event, prepay Revolving Loans or, if the Revolving Loans have been repaid in full, make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide Cash Collateral for the Letter of Credit Exposure, such that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured on the Business Day the proceeds of such Hedge Event are received.
(C)    Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.15 as a result of such prepayment being made on such date. Each prepayment under this Section 2.10(a) shall be applied to the Revolving Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent and agreed to by the Revolving Lenders in their sole discretion.
(ii)    RESERVED.
(iii)    Excess Cash. If, at any time when Exposure is greater than zero, the Consolidated Cash Balance exceeds $15,000,000 (the amount of such excess being referred to as the “Excess Cash”) as of the end of the last Business Day of any calendar month, then, on the immediately following Excess Cash Sweep Date, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the amount of all such Excess Cash, applied as follows: first, to the Revolving Loans until no Revolving Loans are outstanding, second to the Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such prepayment under this Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall be without duplication, and shall take into account in the determination of any Excess Cash, the amounts required to be applied to one or more mandatory prepayment requirements in this Section 2.10(a). Concurrently with the making of such prepayment the Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent a report in reasonable detail (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent) setting forth the computation of Excess Cash on such Business Day.
49


(iv)    Reduction of Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts. On the date of each reduction of the aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts pursuant to Section 2.08(b), the Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans, and if the Revolving Loans have been repaid in full, make deposits into the Cash Collateral Account to provide Cash Collateral for the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure, such that, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans plus the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure that has not been Cash Collateralized does not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments, as so reduced. Each prepayment pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.15 as a result of such prepayment being made on such date. Each prepayment under this clause (iv) shall be applied first to ABR Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans.

Promptly following receipt of any such notice of prepayment, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowings shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02.

(ii)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company, as designated borrowing agent on behalf of all Borrowers, and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

(ii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profit Taxes) on its loan, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liability or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or main¬taining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market.

SECTION 2.16.     Taxes.
(a)    General. Any and all payments by or on account of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction and withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by any Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)    Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts paid or payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this clause (d) shall be paid within 10 days after a certificate as to the
54


amount of such payment or liability is delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.
(e)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this clause (e) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent or the applicable Credit Party (as applicable) delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers (as applicable). Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.
(f)    Status of Lenders.
(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences and except as otherwise required by applicable law, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.16(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.16(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower and the Administrative Agent), duly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
55


(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)    in the case of a Foreign Lender for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, both (x) an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, and (y) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;
(4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the Beneficial Owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender) executed copies of (x) an IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its direct or indirect partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of such direct and indirect partners; or
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(f)(ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
56


Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or such Other Taxes paid under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to this clause (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this clause (g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) to the extent that such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This clause (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the Discharge of Obligations.
SECTION 2.17.     Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a)    The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 p.m. noon, Tulsa time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices as set forth in Section 10.01(a), except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.
(b)    Subject to Section 7.03, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
(c)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans;
57


provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against any Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of any Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 10.03, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections; in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
SECTION 2.18.     Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender fails to execute an amendment or waiver with respect to the Loan Documents that is executed by the Supermajority Lenders, then the Borrowers may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.
58


A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION 2.19.     Cash Collateral.
(a)    Certain Credit Support Events. At any time that there shall exist a Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, promptly (but in any event within five Business Days) after the request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuer, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.20(b) and any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b)    Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked deposit or securities accounts at the Administrative Agent. To the extent provided by the Borrowers, the Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Revolving Lender, such Revolving Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and the Revolving Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit and securities accounts and all balances therein, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, and to maintain such security interest as a first-priority security interest, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to clause (c) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrowers or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly (but in any event within five Business Days) after demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
(c)    Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided hereunder in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which such Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.
(d)    Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the Revolving Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.04(b)) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, that (x) Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Credit Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.19 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 7.03) and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the relevant Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
SECTION 2.20.     Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)    fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11;
(b)    for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Lender that is a non-Defaulting Lender to fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.05, the “Applicable Percentage” of each Lender that is a non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of a non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Letter of Credit Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations of that Lender;
59


(c)    if the reallocation described in clause (b) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, then the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the Issuer only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (b)) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05 for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding and the relevant Defaulting Lender remains a Defaulting Lender;
(d)    (i) if the Borrowers Cash Collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to clause (c), then the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized; (ii) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (b), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and (b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; or (iii) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to clause (b) or (c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuer or any Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such Letter of Credit Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuer until such Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated;
(e)    the Commitment and Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, the Majority Lenders, the Majority Revolving Lenders, the Supermajority Lenders, or the Supermajority Revolving Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.02); provided that (i) such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment may not be increased or extended without its consent and (ii) the principal amount of, or interest or fees payable on, Loans may not be reduced or excused or the scheduled date of payment may not be postponed as to such Defaulting Lender without such Defaulting Lender’s consent; and
(f)    no Issuer shall be required to issue, increase, amend, renew, replace, refinance or extend any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
