(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Värde Party may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Värde Party may transfer pledged or secured shares of the Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer will not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or xxxxxxx shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Värde Party’s expense, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Värde Party in connection with such pledge or transfer and will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee secured party of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a transfer of the Securities. (d) Subject to the limitations set forth below, certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (except in respect of the restrictions set forth in Section 13(a) of the Certificates of Designation, as relevant): (i) while a Registration Statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or (iii) if such Underlying Shares are held by a Person who is not, and has not been for the preceding 90 days, an Affiliate of the Company and such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without restriction and, in the case of this clause (iii), the Company’s counsel (upon receipt of requested certifications from the of such Underlying Shares) has delivered an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent if so requested by the Transfer Agent. The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 5.2(d), it will, no later than five Trading Days following the delivery by a Värde Party to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as 24

applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Värde Party a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends (except in respect of the restrictions set forth in Section 13(a) of the Certificates of Designation, as relevant). (e) In connection with Section 5.2(d), each Värde Party, severally and not jointly with the other Värde Parties, understands and hereby acknowledges that in order for Rule 144 to be applicable to the sale of the Underlying Shares, the Company must be current with respect to its filing obligations under the Exchange Act at the time of such sale. Each Värde Party further understands and hereby acknowledges that any legal opinion given by the Company’s counsel in connection with Section 5.2(d) may be limited as to scope and in particular may expire or be withdrawn in the event that the requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, including if the Company is not in compliance with the current public information requirement of Rule 144. Finally, each Värde Party understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company and its legal counsel will rely on such Värde Party’s understanding and agreement in connection with the issuance of the legal opinion and removal of the legends from the Underlying Shares in accordance with Section 5.2(d), and that it is each Värde Party’s sole responsibility to confirm with the Company at the time of any sale of Underlying Shares that the current public information requirement set forth in Rule 144 has been met. (f) In addition to such Värde Party’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Värde Party, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 5.2(d) and (e), $5 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend (except in respect of the restrictions set forth in Section 13(a) of the Certificates of Designation, as applicable). Nothing herein shall limit such Värde Party’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and such Värde Party shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance or injunctive relief. (g) Each Värde Party, severally and not jointly with the other Värde Parties, agrees with the Company that such Värde Party shall sell any of the Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom and that, if any of the Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, such of the Securities shall be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing the Securities as set forth in this Section 5.2 is predicated, in part, upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding. 5.3 Furnishing of Information. Without limitation of any information delivery requirements set forth in the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement or Certificates of Designation, as applicable, if, at any time while the Värde Parties and their 25

Affiliates beneficially own Underlying Shares representing at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, the Company is not required to file reports under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide to each Värde Party who, together with its Affiliates, beneficially owns at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock: (a) quarterly unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter, in each case, in form and substance acceptable to the Värde Parties (by action of the Värde Parties who, together with their Affiliates, beneficially own a majority of the Underlying Shares held by the Värde Parties); (b) audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (certified by an independent accounting firm of national standing); and (c) annually, within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year, a reserve report prepared or audited by a third party engineering firm of national standing in accordance with Commission guidelines with an “as of” date of December 31 of the preceding calendar year. 5.4 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Purchased Shares in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Purchased Shares or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Purchased Shares for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction. 5.5 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act. The Company and each Värde Party shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Värde Party shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Värde Party, or without the prior consent of each Värde Party, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by Law; provided, that no party shall be required to seek the consent of any other party to this Agreement to disclose information with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby that has previously been publicly disclosed in accordance with this Section 5.5. 5.6 Stockholder Rights Plan. No claim shall be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Värde Party is an “acquiring person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter 26

adopted by the Company, or that any Värde Party could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, in each case, solely by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents. 5.7 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Shares hereunder for general corporate purposes and to fund drilling and development, acquisitions and for working capital purposes. The Company shall not use such proceeds for any of the following: (a) for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, (b) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (c) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations. 5.8 Reservation and Listing of Securities. (a) At any time that shares of the Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall from time to time take all lawful action within its control to cause the authorized capital stock of the corporation to include a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of the Common Stock to satisfy the conversion requirements for all shares of the Preferred Stock then outstanding, or issuable as a dividend, including by accretion to the Stated Value (assuming for the purposes of this calculation that the Requisite Stockholder Approval has been obtained). (b) If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of the Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date, the Company shall take all lawful action to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of the Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 90th day after such date; provided, that the Company will not be required at any time to authorize a number of additional shares of the Common Stock greater than the maximum remaining number of shares of the Common Stock that could possibly be issued after such time pursuant to the Transaction Documents. (c) The Company hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on the NYSE American or another Trading Market. The Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market or as may be otherwise necessary to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of the Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of each such application; (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of the Common Stock to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter; and (iii) provide to the Värde Parties evidence of such listing or quotation. The Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through The Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to The Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer. 27

(d) The Company agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application the applicable number of Underlying Shares specified in clause (i) of Section 5.8(c), and will take such other action as is necessary to cause such Underlying Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then use reasonable best efforts to continue the listing or quotation and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. (e) The Company agrees that, if any shares of the Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of the conversion of the Preferred Stock require registration with or approval of any Governmental Entity under any Law before such shares of the Common Stock may be validly issued upon conversion, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be. 5.9 Company Stockholder Approval. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the next annual meeting of the Company Stockholders (at which a quorum is present) (the “Stockholder Meeting”), the approval by the Company Stockholders of the conversion of (i) all shares of the Series C-1 Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (assuming maximum conversion rates as set forth in the Series C Certificate of Designation and that the Company elects to pay dividends in kind or otherwise accrues to Stated Value in accordance with the terms of the Series C Certificate of Designation) and (ii) all shares of the Purchased Shares and the Exchanged Preferred Shares issued or issuable pursuant to this Agreement (assuming maximum conversion rates as set forth in the Certificates of Designation, as applicable, and that the Company elects to pay dividends in kind or otherwise accrues to Stated Value in accordance with the terms of the Certificates of Designation, as applicable) (such approval, the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”) in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and the bylaws of the Company. The Company will prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement to be sent to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Stockholder Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”). Subject to the directors’ fiduciary duties, the Proxy Statement shall include the Board of Directors’ recommendation that the holders of shares of the Common Stock vote in favor of the Requisite Stockholder Approval. Each Värde Party agrees to furnish to the Company information concerning such Värde Party and its Affiliates as the Company, on the advice of outside counsel, reasonably determines is necessary for the Proxy Statement, the Stockholder Meeting or any subsequent proxy solicitation; provided, that the Värde Party shall not be obligated to provide (i) any information subject to confidentiality, non-disclosure, or similar agreements or which cannot be disclosed under applicable Law, (ii) personally identifiable information, (iii) information regarding the limited partners of such Värde Party and (iv) financial information that the Värde Party reasonably deems to be material to its business, as determined in good faith in its sole discretion. The Company shall promptly notify the Värde Parties of (i) the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval or (ii) any projected failure to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval. 5.10 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. (a) Each Värde Party, severally and not jointly with the other Värde Parties, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any 28

understanding with it, shall execute any purchases or sales, including short sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 5.5. Each Värde Party, severally and not jointly with the other Värde Parties, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 5.5, such Värde Party shall maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents and the schedules hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Värde Party that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Värde Party’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Värde Party’s assets and barriers are in place to prevent such portfolio managers from obtaining such knowledge, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. (b) Each Värde Party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates and its and their Representatives to, (i) hold, in strict confidence, all non-public records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries furnished to it by the Company or its Representatives pursuant to, or in connection with the negotiation of, this Agreement (collectively, “Company Information”) (except to the extent that such Company Information was (A) previously known by such Värde Party from other sources; provided, that such source was not known by such Värde Party to be bound by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) in the public domain through no violation of this Section 5.10(b) by such Värde Party or (C) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Värde Party), and (ii) not release or disclose such Company Information to any other Person, except its Representatives and financing sources who need to know such Company Information, who are aware of the confidential nature of such Company Information and who have agreed to keep such Company Information strictly confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Värde Party may disclose Company Information to the extent that (i) disclosure to a regulatory authority is necessary or appropriate in connection with any necessary regulatory approval required to be obtained in connection with the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or (ii) disclosure is required by judicial or administrative process or by other requirement of Law or the applicable requirements of any regulatory agency or relevant stock exchange. 5.11 Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company shall timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities if and as required under Regulation D. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Värde Parties under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States. 29

5.12 Tax Matters. (a) Absent a change in law or Internal Revenue Service practice, or a contrary determination (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code), the Värde Parties and the Company agree not to treat the Purchased Shares and the Exchanged Preferred Shares (based on their terms as set forth in the Certificates of Designation, as applicable) as “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305 of the Code, and Treasury Regulation Section 1.305-5 for United States federal income Tax and withholding Tax purposes and shall not take any position inconsistent with such treatment except pursuant to a determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code. (b) The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer Tax due on (x) the issue of the Purchased Shares and the Exchanged Preferred Shares and (y) the issue of the Underlying Shares. However, in the case of conversion of Preferred Stock, the Company shall not be required to pay any Tax or duty that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of the Underlying stock or Preferred Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the shares to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such Tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such Tax or duty has been paid. (c) For U.S. federal and applicable state income tax purposes, the issuance to the Värde Parties on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and pursuant to Section 4 of the Second Lien Amendment of (i) 5,952,763 shares of the Common Stock and (ii) 39,254 shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be treated by the parties as a tax-deferred “recapitalization” of the Company pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code except pursuant to a determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code; provided that, in the event that the transactions do not so qualify as a recapitalization, as the result of a successful challenge by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority, then the Company shall be held harmless and shall not be required to indemnify any person for losses incurred due to the failure of the transaction to so qualify or the successful challenge, including the Värde Parties. 5.13 Board Representation Right. The parties agree that the rights granted to the Purchasers (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) under Section 4.14 of the Securities Purchase Agreement are hereby granted to the Värde Parties and that, for the purposes of such rights, the defined term the “Underlying Shares” as used in Section 4.14 of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to also include (in additional to the other “Underlying Shares” thereunder) the shares of Common Stock to be issued and issuable upon conversion of the Purchased Shares and the Exchanged Preferred Shares, respectively. ARTICLE VI. MISCELLANEOUS 6.1 Fees and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary (including with respect to the Värde Parties’ Transaction Expense Amount), each 30

party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all fees of the Transfer Agent (including, without limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any conversion or exercise notice delivered by a Värde Party) levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Värde Parties. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be responsible for the fees, commissions and expenses of brokers, financial advisors, finders, placement agents, investment banks or similar Persons engaged (or purportedly engaged) by the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to the offer and sale or issue of any of the Securities. 6.2 Survival; Limitation on Liability.

All of the covenants or other agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until fully performed or fulfilled, unless and to the extent that non-compliance with such covenants or agreements is waived in writing by the party entitled to such performance. The Company shall not be liable hereunder to the Värde Party or any other Person for any punitive, exemplary, treble, special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages (including any loss of earnings or profits), except for any such damages that are direct damages in the form of diminution of value or payable to a third-party. 6.3 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules. 6.4 Notices.

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner be deemed to impair the exercise of any such right. 6.6 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. 6.7 Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.15. 6.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts in the state and federal courts, sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such 32

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party commences an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding. 6.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY. 6.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf signature page were an original thereof. 6.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable. 6.13 Replacement of Securities.

The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such new certificate or instrument. 6.14 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Värde Parties and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that 33

monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 6.15 Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement or any document, agreement, or instrument delivered contemporaneously herewith, and notwithstanding the fact that any party may be a partnership or limited liability company, each party hereto, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Transaction Documents, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Persons other than the parties shall have any obligation hereunder and that it has no rights of recovery hereunder against, and no recourse hereunder or under any documents, agreements, or instruments delivered contemporaneously herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith shall be had against, any former, current or future director, officer, agent, Affiliate, manager, investment manager, investment advisor, assignee, incorporator, controlling Person, fiduciary, representative or employee of any party (or any of their successors or permitted assignees), against any former, current, or future general or limited partner, manager, stockholder or member of any party (or any of their successors or permitted assignees) or any Affiliate thereof or against any former, current or future director, officer, agent, employee, Affiliate, manager, investment manager, investment advisor, assignee, incorporator, controlling Person, fiduciary, representative, general or limited partner, stockholder, manager or member of any of the foregoing, but in each case not including the parties, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) by or on behalf of such party against such Persons and entities, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on, or otherwise be incurred by any such Persons, as such, for any obligations of the applicable party under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, under any documents or instruments delivered contemporaneously herewith, in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Notwithstanding anything in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the liability of the Värde Parties shall be several, not joint. 6.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Värde Party pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents or a Värde Party enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 6.17 Independent Nature of Värde Parties’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Värde Party under any of the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the 34

obligations of any other Värde Party hereunder or thereunder and no Värde Party will be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Värde Party under any of the Transaction Documents. Nothing contained in the Transaction Documents, and no action taken by any Värde Party pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Värde Parties as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Värde Parties are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Värde Party shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of the Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Värde Party to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. 6.18 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid, notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled. 6.19 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein is not a Business Day, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day. 6.20 Construction and Interpretation. (a) The term “or” when used in the Agreement is not exclusive, unless the context required otherwise. The parties agree that each of them and their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of the Common Stock in any of the Transaction Documents shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement. (b) The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement will refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and section and subsection references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and will not limit or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof” and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement. The meanings given to terms defined herein will be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms. Except as otherwise specified herein, references to agreements, policies, standards, guidelines or instruments, or to statutes or regulations, are to such agreements, policies, standards, 35

guidelines or instruments, or statutes or regulations, as amended or supplemented from time to time (or to successors thereto). (Signature Pages Follow) 36
