The parties acknowledge and agree that the redetermination of the Borrowing Base as provided in this Section 3 constitutes the April 1, 2018 scheduled redetermination of the Borrowing Base under the Existing Credit Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, on and from the Superior Release Effective Date, and until the next Determination Date to occur thereafter, the Borrowing Base shall automatically, and with no further action or documentation being required from or by any Person, be hereby reduced from “525,000,000” to “$425,000,000.”

4.    Additional Modifications to Existing Credit Agreement. The Existing Credit Agreement is hereby further amended as follows:

(a)    The Borrowers have advised that Unit intends to facilitate and consummate the Superior Sale, and have requested that Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders consent to the Superior Sale and to the Superior Release. Subject to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by this Fourth Amendment, and in consideration thereof, including the Borrowers’ timely satisfaction of the Superior Sale Paydown Conditions, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders agree that: (i) Borrowers and Unit may facilitate and consummate the Superior Sale, subject to the Borrowers’ obligation to first timely satisfy the Superior Sale Paydown Conditions (the date on which the Superior Sale is duly consummated is herein called the “Superior Sale Effective Date”); and (ii) on Borrowers’ satisfaction of the Superior Sale Paydown Conditions by timely remitting all Superior Sale Net Proceeds to Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders) on the Superior Sale Effective Date to paydown the principal balance of the Outstanding Credit Exposure outstanding at such time by such amount (the date on which the Superior Sale Paydown Conditions are duly satisfied is herein called the “Superior Release Effective Date”), the Superior Release shall be deemed to have occurred for all intents and purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, effective as of such Superior Release Effective Date (if any), whereupon each Person constituting Superior and their respective Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have automatically been removed and released by the Lenders as a Borrower, Subsidiary Guarantor and/or co-obligor under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and from all of its respective liability and obligations regarding the Obligations accruing thereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that if Borrowers consummate the Superior Sale in any manner contrary to the requirements and conditions in this Fourth Amendment and/or as may otherwise be additionally stipulated by Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, if Borrowers fail to timely and fully satisfy the Superior Sale Paydown Conditions), any such failure shall constitute an automatic and immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and the

other Loan Documents and no additional notice or cure period shall apply to any such failure. On the Superior Release Effective Date the Credit Agreement’s definition of “Borrower(s)” shall, automatically, and with no further action or documentation being required from or by any Person, be amended and restated in its entirety to thereafter have this revised meaning: “Each of Unit, Unit Drilling and Unit Petroleum together with each existing Material Subsidiary of each of the foregoing Persons, and each of their respective successors and assigns, including any receiver, trustee or debtor-in-possession, is each, individually, herein referred to as a “Borrower”, and, collectively, jointly and severally, as the “Borrowers”.”

(b)    To further effectuate the Superior Release as more particularly described in Section 4(a) of this Fourth Amendment, the parties further agree, as follows, effective as of the Superior Release Effective Date, respecting each of (i) that certain Pledge Agreement (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), (ii) that certain related side letter dated April 8, 2016, signed and delivered by the Administrative Agent to, and counter-signed by, Superior LLC in connection with the Pledge Agreement (the “2016 Pledge Side Letter”), and (iii) those certain UCC financing statements naming Unit, as debtor, and naming Administrative Agent, as secured party, filed with the Office of the Delaware Secretary of State on December 21, 2016, as Initial Filing No. 2016 ###-###-#### (the “2016 UCC”) and on February 27, 2017, as Initial Filing No. 2017-1310660 (the “2017 UCC”, together with the 2016 UCC, the “Superior UCCs”; the Superior UCCs, with the Pledge Agreement, and the 2016 Pledge Side Letter are, collectively, herein called the “Superior LLC Pledge Instruments”): Under the Superior LLC Pledge Instruments, one hundred percent (100%) of the Equity Interests owned and held by Unit in Superior LLC, and all of Unit’s related rights, title and interests in all corresponding distributions, profits and proceeds arising therefrom, were (prior to the Superior Release Effective Date, if any) encumbered by Liens and corresponding negative covenants made in favor of the Administrative Agent (to benefit the Lenders). Effective as of and after the Superior Release Effective Date, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that each instrument comprising the Superior LLC Pledge Instruments is deemed to have been released, terminated, and rendered null, void, and of no further force and effect, whereupon Administrative Agent shall, at Unit’s sole cost, file the release and termination instrument respecting the Superior UCCs (in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) in the appropriate public records of all applicable jurisdictions, to give effect to the foregoing agreements to terminate and release the Superior LLC Pledge Instruments.

(c)    As of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement is amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually like this example: stricken text) and to add the underlined text (indicated textually like this example: underlined text) as set forth in the revised, conformed copy thereof attached as Exhibit B hereto, which is incorporated into this Fourth Amendment by this reference.

discretion), respecting the Oil and Gas Properties more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Borrowers’ failure to timely deliver those Mortgages within the time provided shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and no additional notice or cure period shall apply to that failure.

B. The Credit Parties shall have thirty (30) days following the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (which 30-days may be extended by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) to sign and deliver to the Administrative Agent a pledge agreement (in form and substance substantially similar to the Pledge Agreement (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), and acceptable to Administrative Agent), pursuant to which the Credit Parties shall grant and pledge in favor of Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders) first priority liens and security interests encumbering (i) all of each Credit Party’s respective Equity Interests held at such time in Superior LLC (which shall not be less than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate Equity Interests held at such time in Superior LLC by all Persons holding any such Equity Interests), together with (ii) all of each Credit Party’s related rights, title and interests in and to all corresponding distributions, profits and proceeds arising therefrom. Contemporaneously with the Credit Parties’ delivery of such a pledge agreement to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall cause a new UCC financing statement to be filed against each such grantor thereunder (in each jurisdiction as may deemed necessary by Administrative Agent), which shall include a description of the collateral as more particularly provided for in said pledge agreement. The Credit Parties’ failure to timely deliver such a pledge agreement within the time provided for herein shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and no additional notice or cure period shall apply to that failure.

The Borrowing Base is based on (i) the loan value which the Lenders assign to the various Credit Parties’ Oil and Gas Properties being evaluated, (ii) until such time as the Superior Release Effective Date (if any) shall have occurred in accordance with the Fourth Amendment, the loan value which the Lenders assign to Superior Cash Flow, and (iii) any other credit factors (including without limitation the assets, liabilities, cash flow, hedged and unhedged exposure to price, foreign exchange rate, and interest rate changes, business, properties, prospects, management and ownership of Credit Parties) as the Lenders deem significant. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent have no obligation to agree on or designate the Borrowing Base at any particular amount, whether in relation to the Total Commitment or otherwise.

2.6.2. On March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning September 1, 2018 (it being stipulated Unit has timely furnished such information for March 1, 2018), Unit will furnish to each Lender the information Administrative Agent has then requested concerning the Credit Parties’ businesses and properties (including the information specified in Sections 6.1(vii), (viii) and (ix)).

2.6.3. Starting no later than October 1, 2018 and no later than each following April 1^st and October 1^st, the Borrowing Base will be determined in accordance with the following procedure:

(a)The Administrative Agent will submit in writing to the Lenders its proposed Borrowing Base amount;

(b) Each Lender will have ten (10) Business Days to notify the Administrative Agent in writing if it agrees or disagrees with the proposed amount; provided, however, no increase in the Borrowing Base will become effective unless approved in writing by all Lenders. If, within the time set out in the preceding sentence,

(1)All Lenders agree, then the new Borrowing Base will be the amount proposed by the Administrative Agent (which shall be deemed to include any Lender that has not timely notified Administrative Agent in writing of its approval or disapproval, such silence being deemed to be an approval of the proposed Borrowing Base amount by the silent (non responding) Lender); or

(2)(i) Not all Lenders agree with the proposal of the Administrative Agent, or (ii) if the Total Commitment has been terminated or has expired and the Required Lenders have not affirmatively approved the Administrative Agent’s proposal with respect to a decrease in, or maintenance of, the Borrowing Base, then the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders will, within five (5) Business Days, diligently attempt in good faith to agree on a Borrowing Base amount. If agreement is reached then the amount determined by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders will be the Borrowing Base amount; or

(3)The Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders cannot agree on the amount of the Borrowing Base within the five (5) Business Day period, then the proposed Borrowing Base will be the amount calculated by the Administrative Agent as the “weighted arithmetic average” of the Borrowing Base as determined by each individual Lender and communicated to the Administrative Agent in writing. For purposes of this paragraph, the “weighted arithmetic average” of the Borrowing Base will be determined by first multiplying the Borrowing Base proposed in writing to the Administrative Agent by each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, and then adding the results of each calculation, with the Borrowing Base then being the lesser of (i) the resulting weighted arithmetic average amount, or (ii) the amount of the Borrowing Base as last determined under this Agreement.

(c)The Administrative Agent will then promptly notify Unit in writing of the new Borrowing Base amount. The amount of the Borrowing Base subject to the Administrative Agent’s notice will be effective as of the date the notice is sent to Unit (a “Determination Date“) unless, within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the Administrative Agent’s notice, Unit designates in writing a lesser amount in which case the lesser amount designated by Unit will be the Borrowing Base amount effective when the Administrative Agent receives Unit’s written designation.

2.6.4. If Unit does not timely furnish all the information requested by the Administrative Agent in subsection 2.6.2, Administrative Agent may designate the Borrowing Base at any amount the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, reasonably determine (and may redetermine the Borrowing Base from time to time) until each Lender receives all the requested information. Once the Lenders have received all the requested information, Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, in their

discretion, will designate a new Borrowing Base under the procedures in subsection 2.6.3.

2.6.5. In addition to Scheduled Redeterminations, the Required Lenders are permitted to make a Special Redetermination of the Borrowing Base once between each Determination Date by notifying the Administrative Agent and Borrowers. Any Special Redetermination by the Required Lenders shall be in addition to any reduction of the Borrowing Base by the Required Lenders under Section 7.4(iv).

2.6.6. In addition to Scheduled Redeterminations, any other Special Redeterminations pursuant to Section 2.6 and the voluntary Commitment reduction pursuant to Section 2.8.3, Unit may request a Special Redetermination of the Borrowing Base once between each Scheduled Redetermination. In addition, Unit may request Special Determinations from time to time as significant developments, exploration or Acquisition opportunities are presented to Borrowers. Borrower shall deliver written notice of such Special Redetermination request to the Administrative Agent which shall include (i) a reserve report or engineering report prepared as of a date not more than 30 days prior to such request, and (ii) the amount of the Borrowing Base requested by Unit and the date on which Unit requests such redetermined Borrowing Base to be effective. Upon receipt of the reserve report or engineering report, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to approval of the Required Lenders, or all Lenders in the event of a proposed increase in the Borrowing Base, redetermine the Borrowing Base in accordance with the calculation procedures of Section 2.6.3(a), (b) and (c), provided that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have thirty (30) days from Administrative Agent's receipt of the information requested of Unit under clauses (i) and (ii) above to agree with the Lenders on the redetermined amount of the Borrowing Base and so notify Unit in writing.

2.6.7. If at any time, the Total Outstanding Credit Exposure exceeds the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base, or (ii) the Total Commitment (a “Deficiency”) because of a reduction in the Borrowing Base resulting from a redetermination in accordance with this Section 2.6 (excluding Section 2.6.8), Administrative Agent will notify Unit in writing of the Deficiency and within ten (10) days from the date of that deficiency notice, Unit will elect one of the following options:

(a) To prepay the Loans in an amount equal to or more than the Deficiency;

(b) Dedicate to this Agreement (including the negative pledge provision of Section 7.12) other Oil and Gas Properties or assets acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders that are not then included in the Borrowing Base that are of a value, as determined by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, such that the Outstanding Credit Exposure does not exceed the Borrowing Base (as adjusted to include the values of the additional Oil and Gas Properties and/or midstream assets); or

(c) Start monthly principal payments each equal to the amount of the Deficiency divided by the number of whole calendar months between the date of the Deficiency notice and the next Scheduled Redetermination.

If Unit elects to (i) prepay the Loans under clause (a) or (ii) commence monthly principal payments under clause (c), the prepayment or first monthly payment, as applicable, will be due within twenty (20) days after the date of Unit’s timely election. The prepayment or monthly principal payments will be applied in reduction of the principal balance of the Loans. If Unit elects to commit Oil and Gas Properties under clause (b) above, the Borrowers will provide the Administrative Agent with descriptions of the Oil and Gas Properties or other approved assets (together with any applicable current valuations and engineering reports which may be requested by the Administrative Agent).

2.6.8. The Borrowing Base will be automatically reduced if and to the extent a Borrower issues or incurs Indebtedness (other than any Obligations) as follows: (i) a dollar ($1.00) for dollar ($1.00) reduction if the Indebtedness is on a pari passu basis in right of payment with the Obligations or (ii) an amount equal to a twenty five cents ($0.25) reduction for each one dollar ($1.00) amount of Indebtedness incurred after the effective date of this Agreement that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations (including subordinated Indebtedness convertible to equity in Unit) so long as such Indebtedness is in compliance with the limitations of Section 7.2(ix).

2.6.9. Unit may, from time to time upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, reduce the Borrowing Base by designating a Borrowing Base which is lower than the Borrowing Base then in effect. Any such designation by Unit shall be effective on the tenth (10^th) day following the date of the Administrative Agent's receipt of such written notice.

2.7    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Loans.

2.7.1. Borrowers hereby unconditionally and jointly and severally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, on the Facility Termination Date, the then unpaid principal amount of all Loans made to them. Borrowers agree to repay the principal amount of each Loan made to them and the interest accrued thereon in U.S. dollars.

2.7.2. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

2.7.3. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the type and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from 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 Pro-Rata Share thereof.

2.7.4. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; 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 Credit Parties to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.7.5. Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, jointly execute and deliver to the order of such Lender one or more promissory notes payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note(s) and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 14.3) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if a promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

2.8    Principal Payments; Termination and Reduction of Commitment.

2.8.1. Optional Principal Payments. The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time, without penalty or premium, on prior notice to the Administrative Agent pay (i) all outstanding Floating Rate Advances, or (ii) a part of the outstanding Floating Rate Advance in a minimum amount of $200,000 (and any additional multiples of $100,000). The Borrowers may from time to time, without premium or penalty (but subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.5 including applicable breakage fees due hereunder), on three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, pay all (i) outstanding Eurodollar Advances, or, (ii) a part of the outstanding Eurodollar Advances in a minimum total amount of $2,000,000 (and any additional integral multiples of $1,000,000).

2.8.2. Mandatory Principal Payments. In addition to the mandatory principal payments required due to a Deficiency in accordance with Section 2.6.7, if at any time a Deficiency occurs as a result of the a reduction of the Borrowing Base under Section 2.6.8 or 7.4, Borrowers will, within three (3) Business Days following written notice from Administrative Agent promptly prepay the principal of the Loans with proceeds of such Indebtedness issuance or asset sale in an amount at least equal to the Deficiency (or, if the Loans have been paid in full, deposit with the Administrative Agent the amount required to eliminate the Deficiency, which amount shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of Reimbursement Obligations with respect to any LCs as they become due and payable; any balance remaining after (i) all LCs have expired or been fully drawn on or (ii) after the Deficiency no longer exists will be returned to Unit) together with interest during the period of the Deficiency. Any principal or interest prepaid under this subsection will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all payments otherwise then required under the Loan Documents.

2.8.3. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a)    Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Facility Termination Date.

(b)    The Borrowers may once between each Scheduled Redetermination reduce the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Commitments), and (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.6.7 or 2.8.2, the Total Outstanding Credit Exposure would exceed the Borrowing Base.

(c)    The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.8.3 at least three (3) Business Days 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 Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrowers may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or refinancing, 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 Commitments shall be permanent, provided that the Commitments may be increased in accordance with Section 14.6. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

2.9    Method of Selecting Loan Types and Interest Periods for New Advances. Unit will select each type of Advance and, in the case of a Eurodollar Advance, the applicable Interest Period. Unit will give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice“) not later than 11:00 a.m. (Tulsa time) on the same Business Day as the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance and three Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Advance. Unit’s notice will specify:

Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Tulsa time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender will make available its Loan or Loans in funds immediately available in Tulsa to the Administrative Agent at its address specified under Article 15. The Administrative Agent will make the funds received from the Lenders immediately available to the Borrowers at the Administrative Agent’s address.

2.10    Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Each Floating Rate Advance will continue as Floating Rate Advance unless converted into Eurodollar Advance under this Section 2.10 or is repaid. Each Eurodollar Advance will continue as a Eurodollar Advance until the end of its applicable Interest Period, at which time the Eurodollar Advance will be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless (x) the Eurodollar Advance is or was repaid or (y) Unit gives the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice requesting that, at the end of the Interest Period, the Eurodollar Advance continue as a Eurodollar Advance for the same or another Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.2, Unit may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Floating Rate Advance into a Eurodollar Advance. Unit will give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice“) of each conversion of a Floating Rate Advance into a Eurodollar Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance. A Conversion/Continuation Notice must be given by 11:00 a.m. (Tulsa time) on a day that is at least three Business Days before the date of the requested conversion or continuation and specify:

2.11    Interest Rate. Each Advance will bear interest at a variable per annum rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate or the Floating Rate as applicable, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.12. Each Floating Rate Advance will bear interest on its outstanding principal amount, for each day from and including the date the Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurodollar Advance into a Floating Rate Advance under Section 2.10 (but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a Eurodollar Advance under Section 2.10) at an annual rate equal to the Floating Rate for that day. Changes in the rate of interest on that part of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance will bear interest on its outstanding principal amount from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable to it until (but not including) the last day of that Interest Period. The Administrative Agent will determine the applicable interest rate for each Eurodollar Advance based on Unit’s selections under Sections 2.9 and 2.10 and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date.

2.12    Effect of Default or Deficiency on Advances/Rates Applicable After Default or Deficiency. Despite Section 2.9, 2.10, or 2.11, during a Default or Deficiency the Required Lenders may, at their option by written notice to Unit, declare that no Advance will be made as, converted into, or continued as a Eurodollar Advance and no LCs will be issued. During the continuance of an Event of Default, each Eurodollar Advance and each Floating Rate Advance will bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to the Interest Period plus an additional two hundred basis points (2.0%) per annum, and the LC Fee will be increased by an additional two hundred basis points (2.00%) per annum. During a Default that remains uncured (prior to an Event of Default) or a Deficiency, interest

will be determined at the applicable Level IV Status Floating Rate per annum plus an additional fifty basis points (0.50%) as to Floating Rate Advances or applicable Level IV Status Eurodollar Rate plus an additional two hundred basis points (2.00%) as to Eurodollar Rate Loans per annum as to Eurodollar Rate. During a Default or Event of Default under Subsections 10.1.6 or 10.1.7, the interest rates set forth above and the increase in the LC Fee will apply to all Credit Extensions without any election, notice or other action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender; provided, however, the default interest rate specified above shall not accrue at the same time a late fee is being assessed pursuant to Section 2.5.3, such election to be at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

2.13    Method of Payment of Obligations. All Obligation payments will be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified by Section 15.1, by 12:00 noon (Tulsa time) on the date when due (other than payments of Rate Management Obligations owed to Lender Counterparties, which shall be made in accordance with the applicable Financial Contracts governing such Rate Management Obligations) and will (except in the case of Reimbursement Obligations for which the LC Issuer has not been fully indemnified by the Lenders, or as otherwise required under this Agreement) be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received to each Lender at the Lender’s address specified in Section 15.1 (or at the address specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from the Lender)any payments the Administrative Agent receives on behalf of the Lender. The Administrative Agent may charge Borrowers’ accounts (other than any Excluded Account) at BOk for each payment of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees due under this Agreement. Each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Section 2.13 will also be deemed to refer, and will apply equally, to the LC Issuer, in the case of payments required to be made by the Borrowers to the LC Issuer under Section 2.19.6.

Subject to the provisions of Section 11.4, all principal or interest payments on any Note or Loan will be applied first to any interest then due and payable, then to principal, and last to any prepayment of principal and interest in compliance with Section 2.8. All distributions of amounts described above will be made by Administrative Agent pro rata to each Lender then owed Obligations described in this section in proportion to all amounts owed to Administrative Agent and all Lenders which are described in this Section 2.13; provided that if any Lender then owes payments to LC Issuer for the purchase of a participation under Section 2.19.2 or to Administrative Agent under Section 13.7, any amounts otherwise distributable under this section to the Lender will be deemed to belong to LC Issuer, or Administrative Agent, respectively, to the extent of the unpaid payments, and Administrative Agent will apply those amounts to pay such unpaid payments rather than distribute those amounts to the Lender.

2.14    Payment of Fees. All fees paid under this Agreement will be paid in US Dollars on the dates due, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent (or the LC Issuer, in the case of fees payable to it). Fees paid will not be refundable under any circumstances except in the case of inadvertent but conclusive overpayment by Borrowers.

2.15    Telephonic Notices. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent may extend, convert, or continue Advances, effect selections of types of Advances, and transfer funds based

on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes authorized to act on behalf of the Borrowers. Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices may be given telephonically. Unit will deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation executed by an Authorized Officer of each telephonic notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and any Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will govern absent manifest error.

2.16    Payment Date. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance will be payable on the last day of each month, on any date on which the Floating Rate Advance is prepaid (whether due to acceleration or otherwise), and on the Facility Termination Date. Interest accrued on the principal amount of any Floating Rate Advance converted into a Eurodollar Advance on a day other than the last day of a month will be payable on the date of conversion. Interest accrued on each one month (30 day), two months (60 days), or three months (90 days) Interest Period for a Eurodollar Advance will be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurodollar Advance is prepaid (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and on the Facility Termination Date. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months (i.e., six months (180 days) Interest Period) will also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during the Interest Period. Interest will be payable from the day an Advance is made but not for the day of payment if the payment is received before 12:00 noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance is due on a day which is not a Business Day, that payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, the extension of time will be included in computing interest on the payment.

2.17    Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, and LC Requests. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the contents of each Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, or repayment notice it receives as well as changes in the applicable per annum rate of interest pursuant to the Pricing Schedule. Promptly after notice from the LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each request for issuance of an LC.

2.18    Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless Unit or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent before the date on which it is to make a payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, a payment of principal, interest or fees, that it does not intend to make the payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but will not be obligated to, make the amount of the payment available to the intended recipient in reliance on that assumption. If the Lender or the Borrowers, as the case may be, did not make the payment, the recipient of the payment will when requested by the Administrative Agent, repay the amount of the payment with interest to Administrative Agent. Interest will apply for each day starting the day the payment was made until the day the Administrative Agent receives the repayment. Interest will be calculated at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the day for the first three days and then the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

2.19    Letters of Credit.

2.19.1.    Issuance. When requested by Unit, the LC Issuer will issue standby Letters of Credit (each, a “LC“) and renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify each LC (“Modify,” and each action a “Modification“), from time to time before the Facility Termination Date; but only if immediately after each LC is issued or Modified, (i) the total amount of the outstanding LC Obligations does not exceed the LC Sublimit and (ii) the Total Outstanding Credit Exposure does not exceed the Total Commitment. No LC will have an expiration date more than one year from its date of issuance (or, in the case of a Modification, one year after the Modification). If an expiration date for any LC is within five (5) Business Days before the Facility Termination Date, Borrowers will deposit with the Administrative Agent on the Facility Termination Date immediately available funds in an amount equal to the undrawn amount of the LC. The Administrative Agent may apply such funds to the payment of Reimbursement Obligations with respect to the LC as they become due and payable, and any balance remaining after such LC has expired or been fully drawn upon will be returned to the Borrowers.

2.19.2.    Participations. On the issuance or Modification of an LC, the LC Issuer will be deemed, without further action by any party, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Lender, and each Lender will be deemed, without further action by any party, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the LC Issuer, a participation in the LC (and each Modification of the LC) and the related LC Obligations in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.

2.19.3.    Notice. Unit will give the LC Issuer notice before 11:00 a.m. (Tulsa time) at least one Business Day before the proposed date of issuance or Modification of an LC, specifying the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and the expiration date of the LC. The issuance or Modification of an LC by the LC Issuer is subject to the LC Issuer’s approval and the Borrowers signing and delivering an LC Application or other instruments and agreements relating to the LC as the LC Issuer may reasonably request (each, a “LC Application“). In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of an LC Application, the terms of this Agreement will control.

2.19.4.    LC Fees. The Borrowers will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, a per annum letter of credit fee when an LC is issued. The amount of the fee will be equal to the greater of $500.00 or a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans on the stated amount of the LC (each fee described in this sentence an “LC Fee“). The Borrowers will also pay to the LC Issuer for its own account at the time of issuance of an LC, a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.125% of the initial stated amount, and any documentary and processing charges incurred in connection with the issuance or Modification of and draws under LCs in accordance with the LC Issuer’s then standard schedule for those charges.

2.19.5.    Administration; Reimbursement by Lenders. If the LC Issuer receives demand for payment by a beneficiary under an LC, the LC Issuer will notify the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will then promptly notify the Borrowers and each other Lender of the amount demanded to be paid and the proposed payment date (the “LC Payment Date“). The responsibility of the LC Issuer to the Borrowers and each Lender will be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each LC in connection with the presentment conforms in all material respects with the LC. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Issuer, each Lender will be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default or any condition precedent, to reimburse the LC Issuer on request for (i) the Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of each payment made by the LC Issuer under an LC to the extent the amount is not reimbursed by the Borrowers under Section 2.19.6, plus (ii) interest on the amount to be reimbursed by the Lender for each day from the date of the LC Issuer’s demand for the reimbursement (or, if the demand is made after 12:00 noon (Tulsa time) on that date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date paid. The interest to be paid will be calculated at a rate of interest per year equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three days and then at a rate of interest equal to the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances.

2.19.6.    Reimbursement by Borrowers. The Borrowers are irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer on or before the applicable LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by the LC Issuer under subsection 2.19.5. The Borrowers’ reimbursement obligation will be without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind but either the Borrowers or any Lender may assert any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the Borrowers or the Lender to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any LC issued by it complied with the terms of the LC or (ii) the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the LC. All amounts paid by the LC Issuer and remaining unreimbursed by the Borrowers will bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per year equal to (x) the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances for that day if that day falls on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (y) the sum of two hundred basis points (2.0%) plus the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances for that day if that day falls after the LC Payment Date. The LC Issuer will pay to each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from the Borrowers as payment, in whole or in part, for Reimbursement Obligations in regard to any LC issued by the LC Issuer, but only if the Lender has paid the LC Issuer for the LC under Section 2.19.5. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may request an Advance to satisfy any Reimbursement Obligation.

2.19.7.    Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 2.19 are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim, or defense to payment that the Borrowers may have or have had against the LC Issuer, any Lender, or any beneficiary of a LC. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the LC Issuer and the Lenders will not be responsible for, and the

Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any LC will not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if those documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrowers, any of their Affiliates, the beneficiary of any LC, any financing institution, or other party to whom any LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrowers or of any of their Affiliates against the beneficiary of any LC or any transferee. The LC Issuer will not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any LC. The Borrowers agree that any action taken or omitted by the LC Issuer or any Lender under or in connection with each LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct, will be binding on the Borrowers and will not put the LC Issuer or any Lender under any liability to the Borrowers. Nothing in this subsection 2.19.7 will limit the right of the Borrowers to make a claim for damages as provided in subsection 2.19.6.

2.19.8.    Actions of LC Issuer. The LC Issuer is entitled to rely, and will be fully protected in, relying on any LC, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and on advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by the LC Issuer. The LC Issuer will be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it will first have received the advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it will first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action. Despite any other provision of this Section 2.19, the LC Issuer will in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and that request and any action taken or failure to act due to that request will be binding on the Lenders and any future holders of a participation in any LC.

2.19.9.    Indemnification. The Borrowers will indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent, and their respective directors, officers, administrative agents and employees from and against any and all claims, and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which a Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against a Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent by any Person) by reason of or in connection with the issuance, signing and delivery, transfer of or payment, or failure to pay under any LC or any actual or proposed use of any LC, including any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses which the LC Issuer incurs by reason of or in connection with (i) the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to the LC Issuer (but this does not affect any rights the Borrowers may have against a defaulting Lender) or (ii) by reason of or on account of the LC Issuer issuing any LC which specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included in the LC includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which LC does not require that any drawing by any successor Beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to the LC Issuer,

evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary. The Borrowers will not be required to indemnify any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under an LC complied with the terms of the LC or (y) the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the LC. Nothing in this Section 2.19.9 is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrowers under any other provision of this Agreement, provided that to the extent of any inconsistency between this Section 2.19.9 and Section 12.6.1, the provisions of this Section 2.19.9 shall control; and provided further that this Section 2.19.9 shall not apply to Taxes, which shall be exclusively governed by Section 3.3.

2.19.10.    Lenders’ Indemnification. Each Lender will, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify the LC Issuer, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, administrative agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except resulting from the indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the LC) that the indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.19 or any action taken or omitted by the indemnitees under this Section 2.19.

2.19.11.    Existing Letters of Credit. Each letter of credit issued and outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the date hereof will be deemed to constitute an LC issued under this Agreement on the date hereof for all purposes of the Loan Documents; provided that no additional LC fees or fronting fees will be payable with respect to such letters of credit under Section 2.19.4. for which LC fees and fronting fees have been paid in full.

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:

e., the Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing Base of a Defaulting Lender) will not be increased without the consent of the Defaulting Lender;

Administrative shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.

2.21    Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it on its Outstanding Credit Exposure (other than payments received under Article 3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly on demand, to purchase a portion of the Total Outstanding Credit Exposure held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of the Total Outstanding Credit Exposure. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations (other than its Rate Management Obligations, if any) or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly on demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Total Outstanding Credit Exposure.

3.1    Yield Protection. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in its interpretation or administration by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with its interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by any Lender or applicable banking address of the LC Issuer with any request or directive of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i)    imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit, or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with (or for the account of), or credit extended by, any Lender or the LC Issuer (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances): or

(ii)    imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase a Lender’s cost, the interbank eurocurrency deposit market cost or the LC Issuer’s costs of making, funding or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans or of issuing or participating in LCs, or reduces any receivable of a Lender, the interbank eurocurrency deposit market or the LC Issuer in connection with its Eurodollar Loans, LCs or participations therein, or requires any Lender, the interbank Eurocurrency deposit market or the LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Eurodollar Loans, LCs or participations therein held or interest or LC Fees received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or the LC Issuer as the case may be and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans or Commitment or of issuing or participating in LCs or to reduce the return received by such Lender, the interbank eurocurrency deposit market or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, in connection with such Eurodollar Loans, Commitment, LCs or participations therein,

then, within 15 days of demand by the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, to Unit, the Borrowers will pay Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, that additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the increased cost or reduction in the amount received by it; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the LC Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.1 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 365 days prior to the date that such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, notifies Unit of the change giving rise to such increased costs or reduction and of the Lender's or the LC Issuer's intentions to claim compensation therefor.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1 shall not apply to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 3.3.

3.2    Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender or the LC Issuer determines, in good faith, the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or the LC Issuer, or any corporation controlling the Lender or the LC Issuer is increased as a result of a Change, then, within 15 days of demand to Unit by the Lender or the LC Issuer, the Borrowers will pay the Lender or the LC Issuer the amount necessary to compensate the shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of the increased capital which the Lender or the LC Issuer determines in good faith is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Credit Exposure or its Commitment (after taking into account the Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change“ means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or the LC Issuer or any corporation controlling any Lender or the LC Issuer. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines“ means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to the regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (ii) all requests, proposed or final rules, interpretations, guidelines and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, will in each case be deemed to be “Change”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

3.3    Taxes. (i) All payments by the Borrowers to or for the account of any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent or under any Note or LC Application will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. If the Borrowers are required by law to deduct Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from any payment to a Lender, the LC Issuer, or the Administrative Agent, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, (a) the payment will be increased so that after

making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to payments under this Section 3.3) the Lender, the LC Issuer, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the payment it would have received had no deductions been made, (b) the Borrowers will make the deductions, (c) the Borrowers will pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law, and (d) the Borrowers will furnish Administrative Agent a copy of a receipt evidencing payment within 30 days after the payment is made.

as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

3.4    Availability of Eurodollar Advances. If a Lender determines that maintenance of its Eurodollar Loans at a suitable banking location would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, then, upon notice by that Lender to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s obligation to continue to make or convert Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until that Lender notifies the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and (ii) any Eurodollar Advances of that Lender shall be converted to Floating Rate Advances, to the extent required to comply with such Laws or change, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.5. If the Required Lenders determine that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Advances are not available or (ii) the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurodollar Advances, then, upon notice by the Required Lenders to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the availability of Eurodollar Advances, and continuations thereof and conversions thereto, will be suspended to the extent required to comply with such Laws or change until the Required Lenders notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and (ii) require any affected Eurodollar Advances to be repaid or converted to Floating Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.5.

3.5    Funding Indemnification. If for any reason a payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period or a Eurodollar Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrowers for any reason other than a breach of this Agreement by one or more Lenders, the Borrowers will indemnify each Lender for any resulting loss or cost incurred by it.

3.6    Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4 or if any Credit Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or indemnify any Lender pursuant to Section 3.3, 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 reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 3.3, 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.

3.7    Replacement Lenders. If a Lender (i) has notified Unit and the Administrative Agent of the circumstances described in Sections 3.1 or 3.4, (ii) has required Borrowers to make payments for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes under Section 3.3, (iii) becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iv) is a Non-Extending Lender under Section 3.8, or (v) objects to an increase in the Borrowing Base proposed by the Administrative Agent under the provisions of Section 2.6.2, then Unit may, at its sole cost, expense and effort, within ninety (90) days of Unit’s learning of any of the items in (i) - (v) provided that no Event of Default then exists, terminate, in whole but not in part, the Commitment of that Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) (a “Terminated

Lender“), on ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Terminated Lender and the Administrative Agent (a “Notice of Termination“) of Unit's decision under this Section 3.7. If, at any time during the ninety day period and before Unit issues a Notice of Termination, the Terminated Lender notifies Unit in writing that the circumstances giving rise to the notice, event or circumstance no longer apply or the Terminated Lender otherwise withdraws its request for additional compensation or approves the proposed Borrowing Base increase tendered by the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, then Unit will no longer be permitted to terminate the Commitment of that Lender by reason of the particular circumstances that no longer apply, the request that was withdrawn or the Borrowing Base increase that was approved, as the case may be.

To effect the termination of the Commitment of the Terminated Lender, Unit will: obtain either or both (i) an agreement by one or more Lenders to increase their Commitment or Commitments or (ii) an agreement by one or more other banking or lending institutions to become parties to this Agreement in place and instead of Terminated Lender and agree to accept a Commitment or Commitments; provided, however, that the new banking or lending institutions are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and become parties by executing an Assignment (the Lenders or other banking institutions that agree to accept in whole or in part the Commitment of the Terminated Lender being referred to herein as the “Replacement Lenders“) without recourse from the Terminated Lender, and that the aggregate increased and/or accepted Commitments of the Replacement Lenders under clauses (i) and (ii) above equal the Commitment of the Terminated Lender.

The Notice of Termination shall include the name of the Terminated Lender, the date the termination will occur (the “Lender Termination Date“), and within twenty (20) days of the Notice of Termination, Unit shall designate in writing the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders to which the Terminated Lender will assign its Commitment and, if there will be more than one Replacement Lender, the portion of the Terminated Lender’s Commitment to be assigned to each Replacement Lender.

On the Lender Termination Date, (i) the Terminated Lender shall by execution and delivery of an Assignment assign, without recourse, its Commitment and all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders (pro rata, if there is more than one Replacement Lender, in proportion to the Pro Rata Share of the Terminated Lender’s Commitment to be assigned to each Replacement Lender) indicated in the Notice of Termination and shall assign to the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders each of its Loans (if any) then outstanding and participation interests in Letters of Credit (if any) then outstanding pro rata as aforesaid), (ii) the Terminated Lender shall endorse its Note, if any, payable without recourse, representation or warranty to the order of the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders (Pro Rata Share as aforesaid), (iii) the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders shall purchase the Note, if any, or Commitment held by the Terminated Lender (pro rata as aforesaid) at a price equal to the unpaid principal amount (including its participation in and Pro Rata Share of the LC Exposure) plus interest, facility fees, Commitment Fee and other fees accrued and unpaid to the Lender Termination Date, and (iv) the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders will thereon (pro rata as aforesaid) succeed to and be substituted in all respects for the Terminated Lender with like effect as if becoming a Lender under the terms of Section 14.3, and the Terminated Lender will have

the rights and benefits of an assignor under Section 14.3. To the extent not in conflict, the terms of Section 14.3 shall supplement the provisions of this Section 3.7. For each assignment made under this Section 3.7, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Agent the processing fee provided for in Section 14.3. The Borrower will be responsible for the concurrent payment of any breakage costs associated with termination and Replacement Lenders, as set forth in Section 3.5.

3.8    Extension of Maturity Date.

3.8.1.    Requests for Extension. Unit may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than eighteen (18) months and not later than twelve (12) months before the stated Facility Termination Date then in effect (the “Existing Maturity Date”), request that each Lender extend the Lender’s Facility Termination Date for an additional one (1) year period from the Existing Maturity Date; but the Borrowers may request only two extensions under this Agreement and Borrowers will pay at the closing of an extension a reasonable extension fee, the amount of which will be negotiated and agreed to by the Lenders and Unit.

3.8.2.    Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is sixty (60) days after Unit has given notice in accordance with Section 3.8.1, advise the Administrative Agent whether or not the Lender agrees to the extension (and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Facility Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) and shall notify the Administrative Agent of that fact promptly after that determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date) and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to the extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

3.8.3.    Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later than the date seven (7) days after the Notice Date (or, if the date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day).

3.8.4.    Additional Commitment Lenders. The Borrowers shall have the right on or before the Existing Maturity Date to replace each Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement one or more Replacement Lenders (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender“) as provided in Section 3.7, each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption under which the Additional Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the Existing Maturity Date, undertake a Commitment (and, if any Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment will be in addition to the Lender’s Commitment on that date).

3.8.5.    Minimum Extension Requirement. Only if the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend their Facility Termination Date and the additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Lenders is more than 50% of the total amount of the Commitments in effect immediately before the Existing Maturity

Date, then, effective as of the Existing Maturity Date, the Facility Termination Date of each Lender (other than each Non-Extending Lender) and of each Additional Commitment Lender will be extended to the date which is one year after the Existing Maturity Date. If that date is not a Business Day, then the Facility Termination Date as extended will be the next preceding Business Day. Each Additional Commitment Lender will as a result become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite authority to carry on its business in each jurisdiction as now conducted.

5.2    Authorization and Validity. Each Credit Party has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder.

The Loan Documents to which a Credit Party is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of that Credit Party enforceable against it in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (“Enforceability Exceptions”).

There is no fact known to the Borrowers which has a Material Adverse Effect or in the future is reasonably likely to have (so far as the Credit Parties

can now foresee) a Material Adverse Effect and which has not been set forth in this Agreement or the other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Credit Parties before, or on, the date of this Agreement.

5.6    Taxes. The Credit Parties have filed all United States federal Tax returns and all other material Tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all Taxes due under those returns or under any assessment received by the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, except (i) Taxes, if any, that are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) other Taxes where the failure to file or the failure to timely pay could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.7    Litigation and Contingent Obligations. There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting the Credit Parties which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of any Credit Extensions. Other than any liability incident to any litigation, arbitration or proceeding which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Credit Parties have no material Contingent Obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 5.4 except as set forth on Schedule 7 of this Agreement.

5.15    Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. Neither the signing of this Agreement nor the making of Loans gives rise to a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

Any Credit Party (i) is the subject of any proceeding or investigation pertaining to the release by any Credit Party of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, or (ii) violates any Environmental Law, which, in the case of an event described in clause (i) or clause (ii), could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

10.1.14. Except to the extent expressly permitted by the Loan Documents, any Subsidiary Guaranty fails to remain in full force or effect or any action is taken to discontinue or to assert the invalidity or unenforceability of any Subsidiary Guaranty, or any Subsidiary Guarantor fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of any Subsidiary Guaranty to which it is a party, or any Subsidiary Guarantor denies that it has any further liability under any Subsidiary Guaranty to which it is a party, or gives notice to such effect, or any Subsidiary Guaranty shall be revoked or terminated or any Credit Party attempts to revoke or terminate a Subsidiary Guaranty. For the avoidance of doubt, the Fourth Amendment expressly permits the release and discharge of each Person constituting Superior and their respective Subsidiaries as Subsidiary Guarantors effective as of and upon the occurrence of the Superior Release Effective Date, if any, in accordance with the Fourth Amendment.

10.1.15. Any Credit Party fails to comply in any material respect with any of the terms or provisions of any Loan Document (other than this Agreement, Notes issued hereunder and, insofar as representations and warranties made or deemed made in any other Loan Document, the other Loan Documents) beyond any applicable grace or curative period therein specified and if not so specified, if not cured within twenty (20) days following written notice from the Administrative Agent.

10.1.17. Borrowers or Unit consummate the Superior Sale in any manner contrary to the requirements and conditions as set forth with respect thereto in the Fourth Amendment (including, without limitation, if Borrowers fail to timely and fully satisfy the Superior Sale Paydown Conditions). Any such occurrence shall constitute an automatic and immediate Event of Default under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no additional notice or cure period shall apply to any such Event of Default.

11.1    Acceleration.

  

11.1.1. If any Event of Default described in Section 10.1.6 or 10.1.7 occurs with respect to the Credit Parties, the obligations of the Lenders to make Advances and Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue LCs will automatically terminate and the Obligations (other than Rate Management Obligations owed to Lender Counterparties) will immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender and the Credit Parties will be and become thereby unconditionally obligated, without any further notice, act or demand, to deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of LC Obligations in cash or cash equivalents reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, which funds will be applied pursuant to Section 11.1.2. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may (a) terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue LCs, or declare the Obligations (other than Rate Management Obligations owed to Lender Counterparties) to be due and payable, or both, in which event such Obligations will become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrowers hereby expressly waive, and (b) on notice to the Borrowers and in addition to the continuing right to demand payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement, make demand on the Borrowers to pay, and the Borrowers will, forthwith on such demand and without any further notice or act, immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of such LC Obligations, which funds will be applied pursuant to Section 11.1.2.

11.1.2. The Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time, after such funds are deposited with the Administrative Agent, apply such funds to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 11.4 and any other amounts as may have become due and payable by the Credit Parties to the Lenders or the LC Issuer under the Loan Documents. Such funds (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) will be returned to the Borrowers (i) after all such Obligations and other amounts have been paid in full or (ii) within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

11.2    Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 11.2, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Credit Parties may enter into supplemental agreements for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents to which they are parties or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers under this Agreement or waiving any Default, Event of Default or Deficiency under this Agreement, provided that no supplemental agreement will, without the consent of all of the Lenders:

Further provided, that no amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent will be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, and no amendment of any provision relating to the LC Issuer will be effective without the written consent of the LC Issuer.

11.3    Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents will impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default, Event of Default or Deficiency or an acquiescence in such Default, Event of Default or Deficiency, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a Default, Event of Default or Deficiency or the inability of the

Credit Parties to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension will not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right will not preclude other or further exercise of such right or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever will be valid unless in writing executed by the Lenders required under Section 11.2, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in writing. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law or equity afforded will be cumulative and will be available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

11.4    Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received on or in respect of the Obligations (or other amounts owing under the Loan Documents in connection therewith) shall be paid over or delivered as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or the Lenders in connection with enforcing the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents and any protective advances made with respect thereto or otherwise with respect to the Obligations owing to the Lenders, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent;

SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Lenders, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent hereunder;

THIRD, to the payment of all accrued interest and fees on or in respect of the Obligations;

FOURTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations hereunder (including the payment or cash collateralization of the outstanding LC Obligations and Rate Management Obligations owed to Lender Counterparties being paid on a pari passu basis with the repayment of other Obligations);

FIFTH, to all other Obligations hereunder and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Loan Documents otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses "FIRST" through "FOURTH" above; and

SIXTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Unit or such other Persons as may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category to the Administrative Agent or in accordance with each Lender's Pro Rata Share, as applicable, (unless a Lender is a Defaulting Lender); and (ii) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause "FOURTH" above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (A) first, to reimburse the LC Issuer for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types

described in clauses "THIRD" and "FOURTH" above in the manner provided in this Section 11.4. Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Subsidiary Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made to payments from other Credit Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 11.4.

12.1    Survival of Agreements. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement will survive the making of the Credit Extensions during the term of this Agreement and any amendments of this Agreement (other than to the extent expressly modified therein).

12.2    Governmental Regulation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the LC Issuer nor any Lender will be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation.

12.3    Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only, and will not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents.

12.4    Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders relating to the subject matter of the Loan Documents other than the Administrative Agent Fee Letter, all of which will survive and remain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement.

12.5    Several Obligations; Benefits of this Agreement. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender will be the partner or Administrative Agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act in such capacity). The failure of a Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder will not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement will not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit on any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns.

12.6    Expenses; Indemnification.

12.6.1.    Expenses. The Borrowers will promptly reimburse the Administrative Agent for any filing and recording fees, reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), time charges and expenses advanced of attorneys for the Administrative Agent or for any of the Lenders) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Co-Syndication Agents in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, closing, delivery, syndication, review, amendment, waiver, consent or modification, refinancing, Lien perfection, administration, collection and enforcement of the Loan Documents, regardless of whether or not the transactions

provided for in this Agreement are eventually closed and regardless of whether or not any or all sums evidenced by the Notes are advanced to the Borrowers by the Lenders.

12.6.2    Indemnification. The Borrowers hereby also agree to indemnify against and, where applicable, reimburse for, the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the LC Issuer and each Lender, its directors, officers and employees, all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, the prompt reimbursement of all legal fees and expenses of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the LC Issuer or any of the Lenders in connection with (i) restructure as a part of loan work out or special asset modification or fees and expenses from enforcement or collection actions or proceedings, and (ii) collection and enforcement actions or proceedings, including litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the LC Issuer or any Lender is a party to such litigation) which any of them may pay or incur in good faith as a result of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except to the extent that they are determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification, and (iii) any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC against, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof, by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of conduct of any Borrower or any Subsidiary that violates a sanction enforced by OFAC.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 12.6 shall not apply to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 3.3. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 12.6 will survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.7    Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction will, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction. The provisions of all Loan Documents are severable.

12.8    Environmental Indemnities.

Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, attorneys, contractors and their respective affiliates, successors or assigns, or transferees from and against, and reimburse said Persons in full with respect to, any and all loss, liability, damage, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, of every kind and character, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, occasioned by or associated with any claims, demands, causes of action, suits and/or enforcement actions, including any administrative or judicial proceedings, and any remedial, removal or response actions ever asserted, threatened, instituted or requested by any Persons, including any Governmental Authority, arising out of or related to: (a) the breach of any representation or warranty of the Borrowers contained in Section 5.16; (b) the failure of the Borrowers to perform any of their respective covenants contained in Section 6.7; (c) the ownership, construction,

occupancy, operation, use of the Credit Parties’ Properties prior to the date on which the Indebtedness and obligations secured hereby have been paid and performed in full; provided, however, this indemnity shall not apply with respect to matters caused by or arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ activities during any period of time the Administrative Agent or the Lenders acquire ownership of the Credit Parties’ Properties.

The indemnities contained in this Section 12.8 apply, without limitation, to any violation on or before the Release Date of any Environmental Laws and any liability or obligation relating to the environmental conditions on, under or about the Credit Parties’ Properties on or prior to the Release Date (including, without limitation: (a) the presence on, on or in the Credit Parties’ Properties or release, discharge or threatened release on, on or from the Credit Parties’ Properties of any polluting substances generated, used, stored, treated, disposed of or otherwise released prior to the Release Date, and (b) any and all damage to real or personal property or natural resources and/or harm or injury including wrongful death, to persons alleged to have resulted from such release of any polluting substances regardless of whether the act, omission, event or circumstances constituted a violation of any Environmental Law at the time of its existence or occurrence). The term “release” shall have the meaning specified in applicable Environmental Laws and the terms “stored,” “treated” and “disposed” shall have the meanings specified in applicable Environmental Laws; provided, however, any broader meanings of such terms provided by applicable laws of the State of Oklahoma shall apply.

The provisions of this Section 12.8 shall be in addition to any other obligations and liabilities Credit Parties may have to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders at common law and shall survive the Release Date and shall continue thereafter in full force and effect.

The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that in the event that such claim, suit or enforcement action is asserted or threatened in writing or instituted against them or any of their officers, employers, agents or contractors or any such remedial, removal or response action is requested of them or any of their officers, employees, agents or contractors for which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may desire indemnity or defense hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall give prompt written notification thereof to Unit.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, the indemnities created by this Section 12.8 shall only apply to losses, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses actually incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders as a result of claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings brought by Persons who are not the beneficiaries of any such indemnity. The Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall act as the exclusive agent for all indemnified Persons under this Section 12.8. With respect to any claims or demands made by such indemnified Persons, the Administrative Agent shall notify Unit within ten (10) days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a writing advising the Administrative Agent of such claim or demand. Such notice shall identify (i) when such claim or demand was first made, (ii) the identity of the Person making it, (iii) the indemnified Person and (iv) the substance of such claim or demand. Failure by the Administrative Agent to so notify Unit within said ten (10) day period shall reduce the amount of the Credit Parties’ obligations and liabilities under this Section 12.8 by an amount equal to any damages or losses suffered by the Credit Parties resulting from any prejudice caused the Credit Parties by such delay in notification from the Administrative Agent. On receipt of such notice, the Credit Parties shall have the exclusive right and obligation to

contest, defend, negotiate or settle any such claim or demand through counsel of their own selection (but reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) and solely at Credit Parties’ own cost, risk and expense; provided, that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, at their own cost and expense, shall have the right to participate in any such contest, defense, negotiations or settlement. The settlement of any claim or demand hereunder by the Credit Parties, unless such settlement fully releases the Lenders from any and all liability thereon, may be made only on the prior approval of the Lenders of the terms of the settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

12.9    Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrowers on the one hand and the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent on the other hand will, to the extent that relationship is the subject of this Agreement, be solely that of borrowers and lenders. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents, the LC Issuer nor any Lender will have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Credit Parties. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the LC Issuer nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Credit Parties to review or inform the Credit Parties of any matter in connection with any phase of the Credit Parties’ business or operations. The Credit Parties agree that neither the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the LC Issuer nor any Lender will have liability to the Credit Parties (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Credit Parties in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the LC Issuer nor any Lender will have any liability with respect to, and the Credit Parties hereby waive, release and agree not to sue for, any special, indirect or consequential damages suffered by the Credit Parties in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

12.10    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), Borrowers acknowledge and agree that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Administrative Agent are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrowers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent, on the other hand, (B) Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate, and (C) Borrowers are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) Administrative Agent is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not and will not be acting ad an advisor, agent of fiduciary for Borrowers or any of their Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) Administrative Agent has not obligation to Borrowers or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in other Loan Documents; and (iii) Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interest that differ from those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and the Administrative Agent has no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrowers or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrowers hereby waive and release any

claims that it may have against Administrative Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

12.11    Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to hold as confidential any information which it may receive from the Credit Parties or any of its Subsidiaries under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in confidence, except for disclosure (i) to its Affiliates and to other Lenders and their respective Affiliates, (ii) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to such Lender or to a Transferee (so long as such Persons are apprised of the confidential nature of such information), (iii) to regulatory officials, (iv) to any Person as requested under or as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (v) to any Person in connection with any legal proceeding relating to any of the Loan Documents to which such Lender is a party, (vi) to such Lender’s direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements, to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties or to any credit insurance provider relating to Borrowers and their obligations (so long as such Persons agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.11), (vii) permitted by Section 14.4, (viii) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Advances, and (ix) of information that the Credit Parties have made available to the general public.

12.12    Disclosure. The Borrowers and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that BOk and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with the Borrowers and/or their Subsidiaries.

12.13    Place of Payment. All amounts to be paid by the Borrowers or the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Agreement will be paid in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at its principal banking offices at Bank of Oklahoma Tower, One Williams Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74192, Attention: Energy Department - 8th Floor, or at such other place as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders will notify Unit in writing. If any interest, principal or other payment falls due on a date other than a Business Day, then (unless otherwise provided in this Agreement) such due date will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time will in such case be included in computing interest, if any, in connection with such payment.

12.14    Interest. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the Lenders conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would be usurious as to a Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to Lenders notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Notes, it is agreed as follows:

and if theretofore paid will be credited by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of

the Obligations will have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by Administrative Agent or the Lenders to the Borrowers); and

All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Administrative Agent or the Lenders for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due under this Agreement will, to the extent permitted by law applicable to Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loans evidenced by the Notes until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans under this Agreement does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to Lenders on any date will be computed at the highest lawful rate applicable to Lenders under this Section 12.14; and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to Lenders would be less than the amount of interest payable to Lenders computed at the highest lawful rate applicable to such Lenders, then the amount of interest payable to Lenders regarding such subsequent interest computation period will continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to Lenders until the total amount of interest payable to Lenders equals the total amount of interest which would have been payable to Lenders if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.14.

None of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document which directly or indirectly relate to interest will ever be construed without reference to this Section 12.14, or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate.

12.15    Automatic Debit of Borrowers’ Operating Account. On Borrowers’ failure to pay all such costs and expenses owed by Borrowers under Section 12.6 of this Agreement within thirty (30) days of the Administrative Agent’s submission of invoices therefore, the Administrative Agent will pay such costs and expenses by debit to the operating account of Borrowers with the Administrative Agent without further or other notice to Borrowers.

12.16    Exceptions to Covenants. The Borrowers are not permitted to take any action or fail to take any action which is permitted as an exception to any of the covenants contained in this

Agreement or which is within the permissible limits of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement if such action or omission would result in the breach of any other covenant contained in this Agreement.

12.17    Conflict with Other Loan Documents. To the extent the terms and provisions of any of the other Loan Documents are in conflict with the terms and provisions hereof, the terms and provisions of this Agreement will be deemed controlling.

12.18    Lost Documents. On receipt of an affidavit of an officer of the Administrative Agent as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Notes or Loan Documents which is not of public record, and, in the case of any mutilation, on the surrender and cancellation of the Notes or Loan Documents, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary Guarantors will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note(s) or other Loan Documents in the same principal amount thereof (in the case of any of the Notes) and otherwise of like tenor.

12.19    Setoff. At any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized to setoff and apply (a) any and all moneys, securities and other property (and the proceeds therefrom) of such Credit Party now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to such Lender from or for the account of such Credit Party, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, (b) any and all deposits and deposit accounts (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of such Credit Party with such Lender, and (c) any other credits and claims of such Credit Party at any time existing against such Lender, including claims under certificates of deposit (excluding from the foregoing clauses (a) though (c) the accounts at BOk as specified on Schedule 6 (collectively, the “Excluded Accounts“)) against the Obligations then due and payable and held by such Lender (without notice to any Credit Party) and concerning any such action in clauses (a) through (c) taken by a Lender, prompt notice thereof shall be provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent. The rights of each Lender under this Section 12.19 are in addition to all other interests and rights of such Lender at common Law, under the Loan Documents, or otherwise.

12.20    Keepwell. Each Credit Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the Subsidiary Guaranty or the grant of a security interest under the Loan Documents, in each case, by any Specified Loan Party becomes effective with respect to any Rate Management Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Rate Management Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Rate Management Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 12.20 voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 12.20 shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section 12.20 to constitute, and this Section 12.20 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

13.1    Appointment; Nature of Relationship. Administrative Agent is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual representative hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative on the express conditions contained in this Article 13. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent will not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the Oklahoma Uniform Commercial Code, and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.

13.2    Powers. The Administrative Agent will have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent has no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Administrative Agent.

13.3    General Immunity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees will be liable to the Credit Parties, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person provided that nothing in this Section 13.3 is intended to impair or otherwise limit (i) the rights of the Credit Parties to make claims against the LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by either proviso (ii) to the first sentence of Section 2.19.6 or proviso (y) to the penultimate sentence of Section 2.19.9 or (ii) the liabilities of the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent to the Credit Parties based on a standard of care otherwise expressly designated or stipulated to in other provisions of this Agreement.

13.4    No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees will be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction

of any condition specified in Article 4, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral

security; or (g) the financial condition of the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any of the Obligations or of any of the Credit Parties’ or any such Subsidiary Guarantor ‘s respective Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent has no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent (either in its capacity as Administrative Agent or in its individual capacity).

13.5    Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Administrative Agent will in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions executed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto will be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent will be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it is requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent will be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it is first indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

13.7    Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, in proportion to their Commitments immediately prior to such termination) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrowers for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations,

and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (i) no Lender will be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and (ii) any indemnification required under Section 3.3 will, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13.7, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 13.7 will survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

13.8    Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent will not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent will give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

13.9    Rights as a Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent will have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Loans as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” will, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, financial advisory, trust, Indebtedness, equity or other transaction without notice to or consent of the Lenders, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Credit Parties in which the Credit Parties are not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

13.11    Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and Unit, such resignation to be effective on the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent

The Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by written notice received by the Administrative Agent from the Required Lenders, such removal to be effective on the date specified by the Required Lenders. On any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders will have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Credit Parties and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent will have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the

resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Credit Parties and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the Credit Parties or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has resigned or been removed and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrowers will make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes will deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Administrative Agent will be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent will be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000. On the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent will thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent. On the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 13 will continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

13.12    Syndication Agents; Other Agents; Arrangers. No Lender identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a Co-Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, “arranger” or “bookrunner” will have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender so identified will have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any other Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in Section 13.10 and acknowledges that is has note relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking any action hereunder.

13.13    Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrowers and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent which performs duties in connection with this Agreement will be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles 12 and 13.

14.1    Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Credit Parties which are parties thereto and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Credit Parties will not have the right to assign their rights or obligations under the Loan Documents to which they are parties without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 14.3, (iii) any transfer by any Lender by participation must be made in compliance with Section 14.2 and (iv) no

Lender may assign, or sell a participation to, any Credit Party.

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 14.1 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 14.1 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest will release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 14.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 14.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but will not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), will be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

14.2    Participations.

14.2.1.    Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time on obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and Unit, sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents will remain unchanged, such Lender will remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender will remain the owner of its Outstanding Credit Exposure and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement will be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent will continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Voting Rights. Each Lender will retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification

or waiver with respect to any Credit Extension or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all of the Lenders under the terms of Section 11.2 or of any other Loan Document. Benefit of Certain Provisions. The Borrowers agree that each Participant will be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 12.19 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender will retain the right of setoff provided in Section 12.19 with respect to the amount of participating

interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 12.19, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received under the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 2.21 as if each Participant were a Lender. The Borrowers further agree that each Participant will be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment under Section 14.3, provided that (i) a Participant will not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrowers, and (ii) any Participant agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 3.3 to the same extent as if it were a Lender.

14.3    Assignments.

14.3.1.    Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities other than any Credit Party (“Purchasers“) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment will be substantially in the form of Exhibit C or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. The consent of Unit, the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer will be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that if a Default, Event of Default or Deficiency has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Unit will not be required. Such consent of Unit will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof will (unless each of the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent) be in an amount not less than the lesser of (i) $15,000,000 or (ii) the remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment (calculated as at the date of such assignment) or outstanding Loans (if the applicable Commitment has been terminated).

The Notice of Assignment will contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment

and Outstanding Credit Exposure under the applicable assignment agreement are “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser will for all purposes be a Lender to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and will have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Credit Parties, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent will be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the Total Commitment and Outstanding Credit

Exposure assigned to such Purchaser. On the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser under this Section 14.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers will, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted under such assignment.

The entries in the Register will be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register under the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register will be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time on reasonable prior notice.

14.4    Dissemination of Information. Subject to the confidentiality requirements of this Agreement, the Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee“) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries, including without limitation any information contained in any reports provided to Administrative Agent; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by this Agreement.

14.5    Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee, the transferor Lender will cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.3(iv).

14.6    Procedure for Increases and Additional Lenders.
