For $10.00 and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company, MHR and MSI hereby agree as follows:

 

Section 1.  Amendment of the March 2015 Letter Agreement.

 

A.            Subject in all cases to Section 1.D of this letter agreement, Section 3.E. of the March 2015 Letter Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the date “June 30, 2015” where it appears in that section with the date “September 30, 2015.”

 

B.            Subject in all cases to Section 1.D of this letter agreement, Section 3.G.(6) of the March 2015 Letter Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the date “July 1, 2015” where it appears in that section with the date “October 1, 2015.”

 

C.            Section 4 of the March 2015 Letter Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the date “May 31, 2015” where it appears in that section with the date “August 31, 2015.”

 

D.            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this letter agreement or otherwise (but subject to Section 1.E of this letter agreement):

 



 

(1)           If an MHR Sale Event (as defined below in Section 1.F of this letter agreement) occurs on or prior to September 30, 2015, then the reference in Section 1.A of this letter agreement to “September 30, 2015” shall instead for all purposes hereunder be deemed to be the day immediately preceding the date on which such MHR Sale Event occurred and the reference in Section 1.B of this letter agreement to “October 1, 2015” shall instead for all purposes hereunder be deemed to be the date on which such MHR Sale Event occurred.

 

(2)           MHR, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby agrees that neither MHR nor any of its Affiliates shall make any MHR 2015 Make-up Contribution using (directly or indirectly) any proceeds received by MHR or any Affiliate thereof in connection with any MHR Sale Event.

 

(3)           MHR shall not have the right to make any MHR 2015 Make-up Contribution unless, at the time it would otherwise make such contribution, MHR (including any relevant Affiliate) is current in respect of all of its payment obligations under all gathering agreements (including the Gas Gathering Agreement, as amended) to which MHR (or any Affiliate thereof), on the one hand, and the Company (or any Subsidiary thereof), on the other hand, are party to or are otherwise subject to.

For the avoidance of doubt, any disposition or indirect transfer of Series A-1 Units that occurs after the first MHR Sale Event shall not also be an MHR Sale Event.

 

F.            “MHR Sale Event” means the first occasion on which MHR or any of its Affiliates Dispose of (or purport to Dispose of) all or any portion of its Series A-1 Units (or otherwise indirectly transfer or purport to transfer any or all of such Units).

 

Section 2.  Miscellaneous.

 

A.            Except as expressly modified by this letter agreement, the terms and provisions of the LLC Agreement, the Transaction Agreement, the November 2014 Letter Agreement and the March 2015 Letter Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.
