Schedule 1.1F lists, as of the Restatement Effective Date, each parcel of owned real property and each leasehold interest in real property located in the United States and held by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that has a value, in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower, in excess of $5,000,000.
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement By executing and delivering this Assumption Agreement, the Additional Grantor, as provided in Section 8.14 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, hereby becomes a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as a Grantor thereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Grantor thereunder. The information set forth in Annex 1-A hereto is hereby added to the information set forth in the Schedules to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. The Additional Grantor hereby represents and warrants that each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is true and correct on and as the date hereof (after giving effect to this Assumption Agreement) as if made on and as of such date.
Collateral Documents and Guaranties Each Lender hereby further authorizes Agent to enter into each Collateral Document as secured party on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders and agrees to be bound by the terms of each Collateral Document; provided that, -------- subject to any provision of subsection 10.6 requiring the consent of any additional Lenders, Agent shall not enter into or consent to any amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision contained in any Collateral Document or any Guaranty without the prior consent of Requisite Lenders, but Agent may (i) release any Lien covering any items of Collateral that are the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or to which Requisite Lenders have consented and (ii) release any Guarantor (other than any Borrower or Holdings) from its Guaranty if all of the capital stock of such Guarantor is sold to a Person that is not any Affiliate of Company pursuant to a sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or to which Requisite Lenders have consented. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Collateral Document or to enforce any of the Guaranties, it being understood and agreed that all rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents and the Guaranties may be exercised solely by Agent for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof.
Collateral and Security Documents The due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium and interest on the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on a Payment Date, at the Maturity Date, or by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium and interest on the Notes to the Holders or the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture, the Notes and the other Security Documents, and all other amounts in respect of the Secured Obligations according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, shall be secured by a security interest in the Collateral as provided in the Security Documents, which define the terms of the Liens that secure the Secured Obligations. The Issuer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Indenture Trustee holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders, pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees (subject to Section 4.11) to the terms of the Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their respective terms and this Indenture, and authorizes and directs the Indenture Trustee to enter into the Security Documents and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance herewith and therewith. The Issuer shall take any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain at all times, as security for the Secured Obligations of the Issuer hereunder, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien on all of the Collateral, in favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Holders under the Security Documents. The Issuer hereby covenant (A) to perform and observe its obligations under the Security Documents and (B) take any and all commercially reasonable actions (including without limitation the covenants set forth in the Security Documents and in this Article 9) required to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Secured Obligations contained in this Indenture, the Notes and the other Security Documents, valid and enforceable, perfected (except as expressly provided herein or therein) security interests in and on all the Collateral, in favor of the Indenture Trustee, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons, and subject to no other Liens, in each case, except as expressly permitted herein or therein. The Issuer shall do or cause to be done, at its sole cost and expense, all such actions and things as may be necessary, or as may be required by the provisions of the Security Documents, to confirm to the Indenture Trustee the security interests in the Collateral contemplated hereby and by the Security Documents, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the Collateral available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purpose herein and therein expressed.
Additional Collateral; Additional Guarantors (a) In connection with each redetermination of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall review the Reserve Report and the list of current Mortgaged Properties (as described in Section 8.12(c)(vi)) to ascertain whether the Mortgaged Properties represent at least 80% of the total value of the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the most recently completed Reserve Report after giving effect to exploration and production activities, acquisitions, dispositions and production. In the event that the Mortgaged Properties do not represent at least 80% of such total value, then the Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, grant to the Administrative Agent or its designee as security for the Indebtedness a first-priority Lien interest (provided the Excepted Liens of the type described in clauses (a) to (d) and (f) of the definition thereof may exist, but subject to the provisos at the end of such definition) on additional Oil and Gas Properties not already subject to a Lien of the Security Instruments such that after giving effect thereto, the Mortgaged Properties will represent at least 80% of such total value. All such Liens will be created and perfected by and in accordance with the provisions of deeds of trust, security agreements and financing statements or other Security Instruments, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or its designee and in sufficient executed (and acknowledged where necessary or appropriate) counterparts for recording purposes. In order to comply with the foregoing, if any Subsidiary places a Lien on its Oil and Gas Properties and such Subsidiary is not a Guarantor, then it shall become a Guarantor and comply with Section 8.14(b).
Continuing Security Interest: Assignments under Credit Agreement (a) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Commitments have expired or have been terminated, (ii) be binding upon each Grantor, and their respective successors and assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Agent, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), any Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the Guaranty made and the Security Interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto. At such time, upon Borrowers’ request, Agent will authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements to terminate such Security Interest. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to Agent nor any additional Revolving Loans or other loans made by any Lender to any Borrower, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantors, or any of them, by Agent, nor any other act of the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers, or any of them, shall release any Grantor from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Agent of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion.
Collateral and Guarantee Matters Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Collateral Document (i) when all Obligations have been Paid in Full; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder (including by consent, waiver or amendment and it being agreed and understood that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in compliance with this Agreement); or (iii) subject to Section 10.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Required Lenders; (b) notwithstanding Section 10.1(a)(ii) hereof to release any party from its guaranty under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (i) when all Obligations have been Paid in Full or (ii) if such party was sold or is to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder (including by consent, waiver or amendment and it being agreed and understood that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition being made in compliance with this Agreement); or (c) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by Section 7.2(d) (it being understood that Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from Borrower in determining whether the Debt secured by any such Lien is permitted by Section 7.1(b)). Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.10. Agent shall release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Collateral Document (i) when all Obligations have been Paid in Full, (ii) in respect of property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder (it being agreed and understood that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in compliance with this Agreement) or (iii) subject to Section 10.1, if directed to do so in writing by Required Lenders. In furtherance of the foregoing, Agent agrees to execute and deliver to Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, such termination and release documentation as Borrower may reasonably request to evidence a Lien release that occurs pursuant to terms of this Section 9.10.
