4

reasonably necessary action to cause the appropriate number of such Investor’s Directors to offer to tender their resignation.

(f)                                   Observer Rights. For so long as Maju or Chesapeake beneficially owns 5% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, such 5% beneficial owner may elect to designate one non-voting observer to attend all meetings of the Board and committees of the Board; provided, however, that the observer may be excused from a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof to permit the members of the Board, or committee, as applicable, to act on any matter in which such observer’s participation is not appropriate based upon applicable NYSE rules, regulations or guidance.  The Company will give such observer copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to its Board or a committee of the Board, at the same time and in the same manner as provided to the Board or committee of the Board; provided, however, that each observer receiving information pursuant to this Section 2(f) will comply with the requirements of Section 4 herein.

(b)                                 The Company has and may from time to time enter into and perform, and cause or permit its Affiliates to enter into and perform, one or more agreements (or modifications or supplements to pre-existing agreements) with Chesapeake or its Affiliates.  These agreements include without limitation a Master Service Agreement dated July 9, 2012, and a Master Commercial Agreement dated December 24, 2016, with Subsidiaries of Chesapeake, as well as subsequent written purchase or work orders.

(d)                                 Any claims against, actions, rights to sue, other remedies or other recourse to or against any Investor or any of their respective Affiliates and any Maju Director or Chesapeake Director for or in connection with the matters in clauses (a), (b) and (c) (including business opportunities, confidential information and agreements with Chesapeake and its Affiliates) of this Section, whether arising in common law or equity or created by rule of law, statute, constitution, contract (including this Agreement) or otherwise, are expressly released and waived by each Party to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

9

Section 12.  Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

Section 13.  Remedies.  Each party hereto will be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its favor.  The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that each party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief (without posting a bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions of this Agreement.
