Formation of Subsidiaries Each Borrower will, at the time that any Loan Party forms any direct or indirect Subsidiary or acquires any direct or indirect Subsidiary after the Closing Date, within 10 days of such formation or acquisition (or such later date as permitted by Agent in its sole discretion) (a) cause such new Subsidiary to provide to Agent a joinder to the Guaranty and Security Agreement, together with such other security agreements (including mortgages with respect to any Real Property owned in fee of such new Subsidiary with a fair market value greater than $1,000,000), as well as appropriate financing statements (and with respect to all property subject to a mortgage, fixture filings), all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent (including being sufficient to grant Agent a first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in and to the assets of such newly formed or acquired Subsidiary); provided, that the joinder to the Guaranty and Security Agreement, and such other security agreements shall not be required to be provided to Agent with respect to any Subsidiary of any Borrower that is a CFC if providing such agreements would result in adverse tax consequences or the costs to the Loan Parties of providing such guaranty or such security agreements are unreasonably excessive (as determined by Agent in consultation with Borrowers) in relation to the benefits to Agent and the Lenders of the security or guarantee afforded thereby, (b) provide, or cause the applicable Loan Party to provide, to Agent a pledge agreement (or an addendum to the Guaranty and Security Agreement) and appropriate certificates and powers or financing statements, pledging all of the direct or beneficial ownership interest in such new Subsidiary in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent; provided, that only 65% of the total outstanding voting Equity Interests of any first tier Subsidiary of a Borrower that is a CFC (and none of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary of such CFC) shall be required to be pledged if pledging a greater amount would result in adverse tax consequences or the costs to the Loan Parties of providing such pledge are unreasonably excessive (as determined by Agent in consultation with Borrowers) in relation to the benefits to Agent and the Lenders of the security afforded thereby (which pledge, if reasonably requested by Agent, shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of such Subsidiary), and (c) provide to Agent all other documentation, including one or more opinions of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Agent, which, in its opinion, is appropriate with respect to the execution and delivery of the applicable documentation referred to above (including policies of title insurance or other documentation with respect to all Real Property owned in fee and subject to a mortgage). Any document, agreement, or instrument executed or issued pursuant to this Section 5.11 shall constitute a Loan Document.
Capitalization of Subsidiaries All the outstanding shares of capital stock (if any) of each subsidiary of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and, except to the extent set forth in the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, are owned by the Company directly or indirectly through one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries, free and clear of any claim, lien, encumbrance, security interest, restriction upon voting or transfer or any other claim of any third party.
Creation of Subsidiaries Borrower shall provide Agent not less than 15 days prior written notice of the formation of a Subsidiary after the date hereof, whether domestic or foreign. Except as set forth herein, Borrower shall take all steps necessary at the request of Lenders to cause each domestic Subsidiary to be a co-borrower hereunder or a guarantor hereof and shall cause such Subsidiary to grant a first priority security interest in all of its assets to Agent on behalf of Lenders and/or cause a pledge of such Subsidiary’s stock in favor of Agent on behalf of Lenders. Borrower shall take all steps necessary at the request of Lenders to pledge in favor of Agent on behalf of Lenders the capital stock of each foreign Subsidiary provided such pledge may be limited to sixty-five percent (65%) of such Subsidiary’s capital stock, Notwithstanding the foregoing, Columbus shall not be required to become a Borrower or guarantor hereof, and unless and until the membership interests of Columbus are evidenced in certificated form. Agent will not require a physical pledge of the membership interests of Columbus (provided nothing herein shall be deemed to release Agent’s security interest in such membership interests). In addition, Agent agrees that from time to time in the future Borrower may form Exempt Subsidiaries. Provided that Agent is given prior notice as required by the first sentence of this Section 6.11, and provided such obligations are in form and substance acceptable to Agent. Borrower shall not, upon Agent’s approval, be required to cause such Exempt Subsidiary to become a Borrower or guarantor hereof, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to release Agent’s security interest in an Exempt Subsidiary’s capita] stock or membership interests and Agent shall not be deemed to have waived the right to request a physical pledge of such Exempt subsidiary’s capital stock in favor of Agent.
Designation of Subsidiaries The Board of Directors of Holdings or the Borrower may at any time designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary by notice to the Agent; provided that, in each case, (i) other than with respect to any designation of Flotek or BPC as Unrestricted Subsidiaries after the Closing Date and only so long as Flotek or BPC are not Wholly Owned by Holdings, no Default or Event of Default is then continuing or would result therefrom, (ii) other than with respect to any designation of Flotek or BPC as Unrestricted Subsidiaries after the Closing Date and only so long as Flotek or BPC are not Wholly Owned by Holders, after giving effect to such designation the Aggregate Revolver Outstandings would not exceed the lesser of the Maximum Revolver Amount and the then-current Borrowing Base, (iii) no Restricted Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it was previously designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and then re-designated as a Restricted Subsidiary, (iv) no Restricted Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if after such designation it would be a “restricted subsidiary” for the purpose of the Term Loan Credit Agreement or any other Material Indebtedness, (v) other than with respect to any designation of Flotek or BPC as Unrestricted Subsidiaries after the Closing Date and only so long as Flotek or BPC are not Wholly Owned by Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall be in compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as such ratio is calculated as of the last day of the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the date of such designation, as if such designation and any related transactions had occurred on the first day of such Test Period, of not less than 1.00:1.00, and (vi) if such designation would result in Current Asset Collateral owned by a Borrower or Guarantor immediately prior to such designation being owned by an Unrestricted Subsidiary immediately after such designation with a value individually or in the aggregate of greater than 5.0% of the Borrowing Base based on the most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate prior to such event, then Borrower shall be required, prior to such designation, deliver to Agent an updated Borrowing Base Certificate that reflects the removal of the applicable assets from the Borrowing Base. The designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date shall constitute an Investment by the Borrower therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Borrower’s investment therein and the Investment resulting from such designation must otherwise be in compliance with Section 8.11 (as determined at the time of such designation) (for the avoidance of doubt, the designation of Flotek and/or BPC as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall not constitute an additional Investment thereof by any of the Obligors unless such designation occurs after Flotek and/or BPC (as applicable) become Wholly Owned Subsidiaries). The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Debt or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time and the Debt or Liens of such Subsidiary must otherwise be in compliance with Section 8.12 and 8.16 (as determined at the time of such designation). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) no Unrestricted Subsidiary may at any time hold (directly or indirectly) Stock in, or Debt owed by or Liens (securing Debt for Borrowed Money) in, any Restricted Subsidiary and (y) in no event shall any Restricted Subsidiary that owns (or has an exclusive license to) any Intellectual Property that is material to the operations or the business of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries be permitted to be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, nor shall any Unrestricted Subsidiary be permitted to own (or have an exclusive license to), develop, or receive from Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, any Intellectual Property that is material to the operations or the business of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Maintenance of Subsidiaries The Borrower shall not assign, sell or transfer, nor shall it permit any Material Subsidiary to issue, assign, sell or transfer, any shares of capital stock or other equity interests of a Material Subsidiary; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not operate to prevent (a) Liens on the capital stock or other equity interests of Material Subsidiaries granted to the Administrative Agent, (b) the issuance, sale and transfer to any person of any shares of capital stock of a Material Subsidiary solely for the purpose of qualifying, and to the extent legally necessary to qualify, such person as a director of such Subsidiary, and (c) any transaction permitted by Section 8.9(b) above.
