Commitments.

In connection with the Transactions, Barclays is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide the entire amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Credit Facility and the Bridge Facility.

Titles and Roles; Syndication.

It is agreed that:

(a) Barclays will act as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner for each Credit Facility (acting in such capacities, the “Lead Arranger”);provided that the Borrower agrees that Barclays may perform its responsibilities hereunder through one or more of its affiliates and (b) Barclays will act as sole administrative agent for each Credit Facility, provided that Barclays may determine in consultation with the Borrower to appoint another institution as administrative agent for the Revolving Credit Facility. You agree that Barclays will have “left” placement in any marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with each Credit Facility. You agree that, except as provided below, no other agents,co-agents, arrangers,co-arrangers, bookrunners, co-bookrunners, managers orco-managers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by the Fee Letters referred to below) will be paid in connection with the Credit Facility unless you and we shall so reasonably agree.

You shall have the right to appoint, within 10 business days after the date hereof, up to two (2) additional arrangers, agents or managers for the Credit Facilities each of which shall constitute a

Commitment Party (an “Additional Lead Arranger”) and award such Additional Lead Arrangers or their affiliates titles in a manner and with economics determined by you in consultation with the Lead Arranger (it being understood that, to the extent you appoint any Additional Lead Arranger or confer other titles in respect of the Credit Facilities, (x) each such Additional Lead Arranger or its designated affiliate will assume commitments across the Credit Facilities on a pro rata basis, and will assume a portion of the commitments with respect to such Credit Facilities that is equal to the proportion of the economics allocated to such Additional Lead Arranger (or its relevant affiliates) and the commitments of Barclays, in respect of each Credit Facility, will be permanently reduced ratably by the amount of the commitments of such Additional Lead Arranger (or its relevant affiliates) and (y) upon the execution by such Additional Lead Arranger of a Joinder and, thereafter, each such Additional Lead Arranger (or its relevant affiliate) shall constitute an “Initial Lender” hereunder and under the Arranger Fee Letter; provided that (i) fees will be allocated to each such Additional Lead Arranger on a pro rata basis in respect of the commitments it is assuming or on such other basis as you and the Lead Arranger may agree; (ii) the aggregate economics that may be awarded to the Additional Lead Arrangers in respect of any Credit Facility shall not be equal to or exceed 50% of the aggregate economics of such Credit Facility; and (iii) no Additional Lead Arranger (or its relevant affiliates) shall be awarded any title greater than that awarded to the Lead Arranger.

You hereby agree to use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause a rating from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC to be in effect for the Borrower and the Senior Notes after giving effect to the Transactions, each by the Marketing Period Commencement Date (as defined inExhibit E). The effectiveness of such ratings shall not constitute a condition precedent to any Commitment Party’s commitments and agreements hereunder.

You agree that Barclays, as the Lead Arranger, shall have no responsibility other than to arrange the syndication of each Credit Facility. As Lead Arranger, Barclays intends and reserves the right to syndicate the Credit Facilities to one or more financial institutions (including Barclays and the other Commitment Parties, the “Lenders”); provided that in no event shall any Lender be (i) a competitor of the Borrower or its subsidiaries (each such person, a “Competitor”) or entity that is engaged in the business of lending in credit facilities similar to the Credit Facility and identified in writing by the Borrower to the Lead Arranger prior to the date hereof and (ii) any Competitor that is identified in writing to the Lead Arranger (if after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date) or the administrative agent and Lenders under the applicable Credit Facility (if after the Closing Date) (each such person a “Disqualified Institution”); provided, further, that no supplement to the list of persons that are Disqualified Institutions shall have retroactive effect. The administrative agent under any Credit Facility shall have no duty to monitor or enforce the list of Disqualified Institutions. You acknowledge and agree that the commencement of syndication shall occur in the discretion of the Lead Arranger. Except as set forth above regarding naming of Additional Lead Arrangers, the Lead Arranger will lead the syndication, including determining in consultation with you the timing of all offers to potential Lenders, any title of agent or similar designations or roles awarded to any Lender and the acceptance of commitments, the amounts offered and the compensation provided to each Lender from the amounts to be paid to the Commitment Parties pursuant to the terms of this Commitment Letter and the Arranger Fee Letter. Following consultation with you, the Lead Arranger will determine the final commitment allocations and will notify you of such determinations. You agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Commitment Parties’ syndication efforts benefit from your existing lending relationships. To facilitate an orderly and Successful Syndication (as defined in the Arranger Fee Letter) of each Credit Facility, you agree that, until the earliest of (i) a Successful Syndication, (ii) 60 days after the Closing Date and (iii) the termination of this Commitment Letter in accordance with Section 9 prior to the Closing Date, no Debtor will offer, syndicate or issue, attempt to offer, syndicate or issue, or announce or authorize the announcement of the offering, syndication or issuance of, any debt facility or any debt security (other than the Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes).

The Lead Arranger intends to commence syndication efforts promptly, and you agree actively to assist the Lead Arranger in completing syndication satisfactory to you and the Lead Arranger. Such assistance shall include, until the earlier to occur of (x) a Successful Syndication for both Credit Facilities and (y) 60 days after the Closing Date, (A) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit from your and your subsidiaries’ existing lending and investment banking relationships, (B) direct contact between your senior management, representatives and advisors and the proposed Lenders, in all such cases at reasonable times mutually agreed upon, (C) your preparing and providing to the Lead Arranger and the Commitment Parties all customary information with respect to you and your subsidiaries and your and their assets, including all customary financial and reserve information and Projections (as defined below), as the Commitment Parties may reasonably request in connection with the arrangement and syndication of the Credit Facilities and your assistance in the preparation of one or more customary confidential information memoranda (each, a “Confidential Information Memorandum”) and other customary marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication (all such information, memoranda and material, “Information Materials”), and (D) your hosting, with the Commitment Party, of one or more meetings or conference calls of prospective Lenders at times and locations to be mutually agreed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (i) compliance with any of the provisions of this Commitment Letter (other than the conditions expressly set forth inExhibit E attached hereto and inSection 5 hereof and the conditions set forth under “Initial Conditions” in each applicable Term Sheet) and (ii) the commencement and the completion of the syndication of any of the Credit Facilities shall not constitute a condition precedent to the Commitment Parties’ commitments hereunder or to the funding and availability of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the only financial statements that shall be required to be provided to the Lead Arrangers or the Commitment Parties in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities or otherwise shall be those required to be delivered pursuant toExhibit E hereto.

You hereby represent and warrant that (a) all written information, including the Information Materials but excluding the Projections (the “Information”), that has been or will be made available to us by you or any of your representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, when taken as a whole, does not or will not, when furnished to us, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (giving effect to all supplements thereto) and (b) the financial projections and other forward-looking information (the “Projections”) that have been or will be made available to us by you or any of your representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time furnished to us (it being recognized by the Commitment Parties that such Projections are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ from the projected results, and such differences may be material).

You understand that in arranging each Credit Facility we may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.

At the request of the Lead Arranger, you agree to assist in the preparation of a version of each Confidential Information Memorandum or other Information Material (a “Public Version”) consisting

exclusively of information with respect to you and your affiliates that is either publicly available or not material with respect to you and your affiliates, any of your respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (such information, “Non-MNPI”). Such Public Versions, together with any other information prepared by you or your affiliates or representatives and conspicuously marked “Public” (collectively, the “Public Information”), which at a minimum means that the word “Public” will appear prominently on the first page of any such information, may be distributed by us to prospective Lenders (other than Disqualified Institutions) who have advised us that they wish to receive onlyNon-MNPI (“Public Side Lenders”). You acknowledge and agree that, in addition to Public Information and unless you promptly notify us otherwise, (a) drafts and final definitive documentation with respect to the Credit Facility, (b) administrative materials prepared by the Lead Arranger for the Commitment Parties (such as a lender meeting invitation, allocations and funding and closing memoranda) and (c) notifications of changes in the terms of each Credit Facility may be distributed to Public Side Lenders.

In connection with our distribution to prospective Lenders of any Information Materials, you will execute and deliver to us a customary authorization letter authorizing such distribution and containing the representations and warranties set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3 and, in the case of any Public Version thereof or other Public Information, representing that it only containsNon-MNPI.

If a Professional does not provide an estimate, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may estimate the unpaid and unbilled fees and expenses of such Professional.

Any funds remaining in the Professional Fee Escrow Account after all Allowed Professional Fee Claims have been paid will be turned over to the Reorganized Debtors.

From and after the Confirmation Date, any requirement that Professionals comply with sections 327 through 331 and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code in seeking retention or compensation for services rendered after such date shall terminate, and the Reorganized Debtors may employ and pay any Professional in the ordinary course of business without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the assumptions, assumptions and assignments, or rejections, as applicable, of such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Unless otherwise indicated, assumptions or rejections of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan are effective as of the Effective Date. Each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by Bankruptcy Court order but not assigned to a third party before the Effective Date shallre-vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as such terms may have been modified by the provisions of the Plan or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption under applicable federal law.

Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or Cure amount will be deemed to have assented to such assumption or Cure amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is removed from the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases after such20-day deadline, a Cure Notice with respect to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be sent promptly to the counterparty thereof and a noticed hearing set to consider whether such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease can be assumed.

In the event of an unresolved dispute regarding (1) the amount of any Cure Claim, (2) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed, or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption, assignment, or the Cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, such dispute shall be resolved by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court (which may be the Confirmation Order).

If the Bankruptcy Court determines that the Allowed Cure Claim with respect to any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is greater than the amount set forth in the applicable Cure Notice, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, following consultation with counsel to the Equityholder Committee and counsel to the HoldCo Noteholder Committee, will have the right to add such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, in which case such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims against any Debtor or defaults by any Debtor, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time before the date that the Debtors assume such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

Petition Date, against any claims or Causes of Action whether direct or derivative, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, disputed or undisputed, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, and, notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, none of the Reorganized Debtors will amend and/or restate their respective governance documents or the New Organizational Documents before or after the Effective Date to terminate or adversely affect any of the Reorganized Debtors’ obligations to provide such indemnification rights or such directors’, officers’, employees’, or agents’ indemnification rights.

5.5

InsurancePolicies

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, all of the Debtors’ insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as and deemed to be Executory Contracts under the Plan. On the Effective Date, pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all insurance policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments related thereto, including all D&O Liability Insurance Policies (including tail coverage liability insurance). Entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Reorganized Debtors’ assumption of all such insurance policies, including the D&O Liability Insurance Policies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, Confirmation of the Plan shall not discharge, impair, or otherwise modify any indemnity obligations assumed by the foregoing assumption of insurance policies, including the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, and each such indemnity obligation will be deemed and treated as an Executory Contract that has been assumed by the Reorganized Debtors under the Plan as to which no Proof of Claim need be filed, and shall survive the Effective Date.

After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall not terminate or otherwise reduce, modify or restrict in any way, the coverage under any D&O Liability Insurance Policy (including such tail coverage liability insurance) in effect as of the Effective Date, and all members, managers, directors, and officers of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time prior to the Effective Date of the Plan shall be entitled to the full benefits of any such policy for the full term of such policy regardless of whether such members, managers, directors, and/or officers remain in such positions after the Effective Date of the Plan.

5.7

Modifications,Amendments,Supplements,Restatements,orOtherAgreements

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases related thereto, if any, including easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under the Plan.

Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

5.8

ReservationofRights

Nothing contained in the Plan or the Plan Supplement shall constitute an admission by the Debtors or any other party that any contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have 45 days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

After such date, all unclaimed property or interests in property (including any property on account of any Claim on account of any royalty, working interest, or related interest) shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors automatically and without need for a further order by the Bankruptcy Court (notwithstanding any applicable federal, provincial or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and, to the extent such Unclaimed Distribution is New Common Stock, shall be deemed cancelled. Upon such revesting, the Claim of the holder or its successors with respect to such property shall be cancelled, discharged, and forever barred notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws, or any provisions in any document governing the distribution that is an Unclaimed Distribution, to the contrary.

ClaimsPaidorPayablebyThirdParties

(a)

ClaimsPaidbyThirdParties

A Claim shall be reduced in full, and such Claim shall be disallowed without an objection to such Claim having to be filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent that the holder of such Claim receives payment in full on account of such Claim from a party that is not a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor. To the extent a holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim, such holder shall repay, return, or deliver any distribution held by or transferred to the holder to the applicable Reorganized Debtor to the extent the holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan.

(b)

ClaimsPayablebyInsuranceCarriers

No distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable pursuant to one of the Debtors’ insurance policies until the holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such insurance policy. To the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ insurers agrees to satisfy in full a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), then immediately upon such insurers’ agreement, such Claim may be expunged to the extent of any agreed upon satisfaction on the Claims Register by the Notice and Claims Agent without a Claims objection having to be filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

(c)

ApplicabilityofInsurancePolicies

Except as otherwise provided herein, distributions to holders of Allowed Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable insurance policy. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including insurers under any policies of insurance, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such insurers.

6.5

Setoffs

Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, each Reorganized Debtor, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code), applicablenon-bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed to by the holder of a Claim, may set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on

account of such Allowed Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim), any Claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim, to the extent such Claims, rights, or Causes of Action against such holder have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise);provided,however, that neither the failure to effectuate such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by such Reorganized Debtor of any such Claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Reorganized Debtor may possess against such holder.

6.6

AllocationBetweenPrincipalandAccruedInterest

Except as otherwise provided herein, the aggregate consideration paid to holders with respect to their Allowed Claims shall be treated pursuant to the Plan as allocated first to the principal amount of such Allowed Claims (to the extent thereof) and, thereafter, to interest, if any, on such Allowed Claim accrued through the Effective Date.

EstimationofClaims

Before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or during the appeal relating to such objection. Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan, a Claim that has been expunged from the Claims Register, but that either is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of a Final Order, shall be deemed to be estimated at zero dollars, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any Claim that is disputed, contingent, or unliquidated, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions), and the relevant Debtor may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim. In addition to the foregoing, the Debtors shall comply with the claims determination procedures set forth in Section 7.1(r) of the Backstop Commitment Agreement, as and to the extent provided therein.

7.4

All Proofs of Claim Filed on account of an indemnification obligation to a director, officer, or employee shall be deemed satisfied and expunged from the Claims Register as of the Effective Date to the extent such indemnification obligation is assumed (or honored or reaffirmed, as the case may be) pursuant to the Plan, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Except as provided herein or otherwise agreed, any and all Proofs of Claim filed after the Claims Bar Date, Administrative Claims Bar Date, or deadline for filing Proofs of Claim based on the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, as applicable, shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims, unless on or before the Confirmation Hearing such late Filed Claim has been deemed timely Filed by a Final Order.

Unless otherwise provided under the Plan, if an objection to a Claim or portion thereof is Filed as set forth inArticle VII of this Plan, no payment or distribution provided under the Plan shall be required to be made on account of such Claim or portion thereof unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

7.9

DistributionsAfterAllowance

To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, distributions (if any) shall be made to the holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. On the next Distribution Date following the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, or as otherwise agreed, the Reorganized Debtors shall provide to the holder of such Claim the distribution (if any) to which such holder is entitled under the Plan as of the Effective Date without any interest, dividends, or accruals to be paid on account of such Claim unless required under applicable bankruptcy law.

7.10

SingleSatisfactionofClaims

Holders of Allowed Claims may assert such Claims against each Debtor obligated with respect to such Claim, and such Claims shall be entitled to share in the recovery provided for the applicable Class of Claims against each obligated Debtor based upon the full Allowed amount of the Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall the aggregate value of all property received or retained under the Plan on account of Allowed Claims exceed

100% of the underlying Allowed Claim plus applicable interest. For the avoidance of doubt, this shall not affect the obligation of each and every Debtor to pay U.S. Trustee Fees until such time as a particular case is closed, dismissed, or converted.

		The initial Borrowing Base shall be equal to $1.0 billion.

No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date after the earlier of (a) one year after the date of issuance unless consented to by the Issuing Lender and (b) five business days prior to the Revolving Termination Date,provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (b) above).

B-4


		Loans) within one business day. To the extent that the Borrower does not so reimburse the Issuing Lender, the RBL Lenders shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to fund participations in the reimbursement obligations on a pro rata basis.

Use of Proceeds:		The proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be used by the Borrower for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, including funding the repayment of certain claims under the Approved Plan in an aggregate amount of $2.4 billion on the Closing Date,provided that the Borrower will not use any proceeds for the purpose of purchasing or carrying directly or indirectly any margin stock or for any other purpose which would constitute this transaction a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U.

		If such excess results from the Borrower’s termination or reduction of any or all of the Revolving Commitments, such excess shall be paid as of the date of termination or reduction.

		If, as the result of an adjustment of the Borrowing Base for the incurrence of permitted debt, certain hedging agreement unwinds or asset dispositions, the sum of outstanding Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit exceeds the Revolving Loan Limit then in effect, a deficiency shall exist, and the Borrower will be required to prepay Revolving Loans equal to such excess on the date it receives cash proceeds from the issuance of such permitted debt, and within 1 business days after the effectiveness of the adjusted Borrowing Base that results from the unwind of such hedging agreement or the consummation of such asset disposition, as applicable. If a deficiency continues after payment of all Revolving Loans, the Borrower will be required to cash collateralize the letters of credit in an amount equal to such excess.
