Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Restructuring Support Agreement

On June 30, 2020, Rosehill Resources Inc. (the “Company”) and Rosehill Operating Company, LLC (“Rosehill Operating,” and together with the Company, the “Company Parties”), its direct subsidiary, entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”), which includes the term sheet attached thereto as Exhibit A (the “Term Sheet”), with (i) Tema Oil and Gas Company (“Tema”), as (a) the holder of approximately 66.8% of the voting equity interests of the Company and 35.2% of the equity interests in Rosehill Operating and (b) party to that certain Tax Receivable Agreement dated as of April 27, 2017 (as amended, restated, modified, or supplemented from time to time), by and among the Company and Tema, (ii) certain beneficial holders of, or investment advisors, sub-advisors, or managers of discretionary accounts that are beneficial holders of claims under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among the Company Parties, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as issuing bank and administrative agent (in such capacity, “JP Morgan”), and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Consenting Lenders”), and (iii) certain beneficial holders of, or the investment advisors, sub-advisors, or managers on behalf of discretionary funds, accounts, or entities that are beneficial holders of claims under the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of December 8, 2017 (as amended, restated modified, or supplemented from time to time), by and among the Company Parties, the holders party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as agent and collateral agent, and 100% of the Company’s issued Series B Preferred Stock (the “Consenting Noteholders,” and together with Tema and the Consenting Lenders, the “Consenting Creditors”).

The RSA contemplates that the Company Parties will (i) file voluntary cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) to effect a restructuring through a prepackaged chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) to be filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or before July 15, 2020, at 11:59 p.m. (prevailing Central Time) and (ii) enter into a proposed junior convertible debtor in possession delayed draw term loan facility (the “DIP Facility”) as evidenced by the DIP Credit Agreement (as defined in the RSA).

The RSA contains certain covenants on the part of each of the Company Parties and the Consenting Creditors, including that the Consenting Creditors use commercially reasonable efforts to support the Restructuring Transactions (as defined in the RSA), to vote in favor of the Plan, and to otherwise use good faith when negotiating the forms of the Definitive Documents (as defined in the RSA) with the Company Parties. The RSA also provides for certain conditions to the obligations of the parties and for termination upon the occurrence of certain events, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve certain milestones and certain breaches or other actions by the parties under the RSA.

Proposed Plan of Reorganization

The Plan as contemplated by the RSA will provide for the following, among other things:

 

   

after the time on which all conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms thereof, and the Plan becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), either a reorganized Rosehill Operating or a newly created legal entity that would be the successor to the Company Parties (either entity constituting “New Rosehill”) will be established;

 

   

the entry by New Rosehill into an exit RBL credit agreement to refinance indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with a tenor of 4 years and a maximum initial borrowing base of $235 million;

 

   

the principal of the DIP Facility will be converted to 24.15% of the shares of the equity of New Rosehill (the “New Common Shares”), and the backstop fee earned in connection with the DIP Facility will be converted to 1.69% of the New Common Shares, in each case, subject to dilution from the post-emergence management incentive plan that will be adopted by the board of directors of New Rosehill (the “MIP”);

 

   

each of the Consenting Noteholders will receive its pro rata share of 68.60% of the New Common Shares, subject to dilution from the MIP, in exchange for all of the Secured Note Claims (as defined in the Term Sheet);


   

Tema, as the holder of claims under that Tax Receivable Agreement dated as of April 27, 2017 (as amended, restated, modified, or supplemented from time to time), by and among the Company and Tema, will receive its pro rata share of 4.08% of the New Common Shares, subject to dilution from the MIP, in exchange for all of the TRA Claims (as defined in the Term Sheet);

 

   

subject to specific conditions, including acceptance of the Plan by and lack of any objection to confirmation of the Plan by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (each as defined in the Term Sheet) (collectively, the “Preferred Holders”), the Preferred Holders will receive their pro rata share of 1.48% of the New Common Shares, subject to dilution from the MIP, in exchange for all of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock;

 

   

the Existing Common Stock (which includes the Company’s Class A Common Stock) and Other Existing Interests (each as defined in the Term Sheet) will be cancelled and receive no recovery;

 

   

the RSA requires that Tema and the Consenting Noteholders work in good faith to finalize substantially final forms of governance documents or term sheets in respect thereof before the date the Chapter 11 Cases are filed (the “Petition Date”);

 

   

certain claims relating to borrowings outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement are to be paid with net cash proceeds from the orderly unwind of all of the Company’s existing commodity hedging and derivative instruments, which is anticipated to occur between the execution of the RSA and the Petition Date; and

 

   

that certain Gas Gathering Agreement, dated as of April 27, 2017, by and among Rosehill Operating and Gateway Gathering and Marketing Company, will be amended after the execution of the RSA and before the Petition Date.

The terms of the Plan are subject to approval by, among other parties, the Consenting Creditors (pursuant to the terms set forth in the RSA) and the Company, as well as the Bankruptcy Court, among other conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan. The Company Parties intend to solicit votes from the Consenting Creditors with respect to the Plan prior to the Petition Date, and to commence solicitation of votes from the Preferred Holders prior to the Petition Date but to receive such votes after the Petition Date. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the transactions described herein will be consummated.

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the RSA (including the Term Sheet), which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference, as well as definitive documentation of the Plan, which may alter or amend the terms of the Plan as set forth in the RSA.

Debtor in Possession Financing

The RSA contemplates that the Company Parties will file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court (the “DIP Motion”) seeking, among other things, interim and final approval of debtor in possession financing on the terms and conditions set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement. If approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the RSA provides that the DIP Credit Agreement will provide for the following, among other things:

 

   

the DIP Facility, in the aggregate amount of $17.5 million, shall be junior to the Adequate Protection Liens (as defined in the Term Sheet), superpriority liens securing postpetition hedges, the Revolving Credit Facility and the Note Purchase Agreement, but senior to all other Claims (as defined in the Term Sheet) and Interests (as defined in the Term Sheet);

 

   

$15 million of the DIP Facility will be backstopped by the Consenting Noteholders, and $2.5 million shall be backstopped by Tema;


   

Tema will have the right to subscribe to provide up to $7.5 million of the DIP Facility;

 

   

the Company Parties will draw half of the DIP Facility within three business days after the entry of the Interim Order, and the remaining half of the DIP Facility within three business days after the entry of the Final Order;

 

   

the DIP Facility will mature at the earliest of (i) six months after the Petition Date, (ii) the Effective Date, (iii) the closing of a sale of substantially all of the equity interests or assets of the Company Parties (unless done pursuant to the Plan), (iv) the date of prepayment in cash in full by the Company of all claims under the DIP Facility and termination of all commitments in respect of the DIP Facility in accordance with the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement, and (v) the date of termination of the commitments in respect of the DIP Facility and/or acceleration of any outstanding extensions of credit following the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the DIP Facility;

 

   

borrowings under the DIP Facility will bear interest at 8% per annum, paid-in-kind monthly, with an additional 2% per annum default rate paid-in-kind, provided that such interest may only be paid in cash upon the Effective Date subject to certain conditions;

 

   

the Company Parties will pay an upfront fee of 100 bps, paid-in-kind, provided that such upfront fee may only be paid in cash upon the Effective Date subject to certain conditions;

 

   

the DIP Credit Agreement will provide for certain customary covenants applicable to the Company;

 

   

the DIP Credit Agreement will require that the Company Parties (i) enter into commodity hedge transactions pursuant to standards agreed in advance by the Company, the Majority DIP Lenders (as defined in the Term Sheet), and JP Morgan in their reasonable discretion such that, as soon as practical after the Petition Date (and in any case no later than ten (10) Business Days (as defined in the Term Sheet) after the Petition Date), the notional volumes of such commodity hedge transactions represent at least 70% of reasonably anticipated projected production from oil and gas properties constituting proved developed producing reserves of Rosehill Operating for each of the following 24 months (August 2020 to July 2022 based on the most recent reserve report) for each of crude oil and natural gas, calculated separately, (ii) receive prior written consent from Majority DIP Lenders and JP Morgan (acting at the direction of the Required Revolving Credit Agreement Lenders (as defined in the Term Sheet)) for any asset sales or dispositions outside the ordinary course of business in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate or investments in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate, and (iii) provide certain periodic reporting packages and budgets to the Majority DIP Lenders and JP Morgan; and

 

   

the DIP Credit Agreement will provide for certain customary conditions for debtor in possession facilities of this type and certain other conditions as required by the Majority DIP Lenders.

The terms of the DIP Credit Agreement are subject to approval by the DIP Lenders, the Company, and the Bankruptcy Court, among other conditions. Accordingly, the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement are subject to change, and there can be no assurance that the DIP Credit Agreement will be consummated. The Company anticipates closing the DIP Credit Agreement promptly following approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the DIP Motion.

The foregoing summary of the terms of the proposed DIP Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the RSA (including the Term Sheet).

Cautionary Note Regarding the Company’s Securities

The Company cautions that trading in the Company’s securities is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company’s securities in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company expects that its equity holders will very


likely experience a complete loss on their investment, depending on the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases. In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, as contemplated by the Term Sheet, the Company intends to terminate the listing and trading of its Class A Common Stock, Class A Common Stock Public Units, and Class A Common Stock Public Warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market and terminate and suspend its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as soon as permissible.

Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations, including the risk factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. While the Company makes these statements in good faith, neither the Company, its management, nor Rosehill Operating can guarantee that anticipated future results will be achieved. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein or any other forward-looking statements made by the Company, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

(a) Each Consenting Creditor agrees that, for the duration of the Support Period, such Consenting Creditor shall not sell, transfer, loan, issue, participate, pledge, hypothecate, assign or otherwise dispose of (other than ordinary course pledges and/or swaps) (each, a “Transfer”), directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any of its Claims or Interests, including any beneficial ownership in any such Claims or Interests, or any option thereon or any right or interest therein (including grant any proxies, deposit any Claims or Interests into a voting trust, or entry into a voting agreement with respect thereto), unless the transferee thereof either (i) is a Consenting Creditor or (ii) prior to such Transfer, agrees in writing for the benefit of the Parties to become a Consenting Creditor and to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement applicable to Consenting Creditors (including with respect to any and all Claims or Interests it already may hold against or in the Company prior to such Transfer) by executing a joinder agreement, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Joinder Agreement”), and delivering an executed copy thereof within two (2) business days of such execution, to counsel for the Company Parties and counsel to each of the Consenting Creditors, in which event (A) the transferee shall be deemed to be a Consenting Creditor hereunder to the extent of such transferred Claims or Interests, and (B) the transferor shall be deemed to relinquish its rights (and be released from its obligations) under this Agreement to the extent of such transferred Claims or Interests (such transfer, a “Permitted Transfer” and such party to such Permitted Transfer, a “Permitted Transferee”).

To the extent any Party is acting solely in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may Transfer any Claims or Interests that it acquires from a holder of Claims or Interests that is not a Consenting Creditor to a transferee that is not a Consenting Creditor at the time of such Transfer without the requirement that the transferee be or become a signatory to this Agreement or execute a Joinder Agreement.

This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude the Consenting Creditors from acquiring additional Claims or Interests; provided, that to the extent any Consenting Creditor (a) acquires additional Claims or Interests, (b) holds or acquires any other Claims against the Company entitled to vote on the Plan, or (c) holds or acquires any Interests entitled to vote on the Plan, then, in each case, each such Consenting Creditor shall promptly notify counsel for the Company Parties and counsel to each of the other Consenting Creditors, and each such Consenting Creditor agrees that all such Claims and Interests shall be subject to this Agreement, and agrees that, for the duration of the Support Period and subject to the terms of this Agreement, it shall vote in favor of the Plan (or cause to be voted) any such additional Claims and/or Interests entitled to vote on the Plan (to the extent still held by it on or on its behalf at the time of such vote), in a manner consistent with Section 5.01 hereof. For the avoidance of any doubt, any obligation to vote for the Plan or any other plan of reorganization shall be subject to sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code.

5.04 Preservation of Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement, and neither a vote to accept the Plan by any Consenting Creditor, nor the acceptance of the Plan by any Consenting Creditor, shall: (a) be construed to limit consent and approval rights provided in this Agreement (including the Restructuring Term Sheet) and the Definitive Documents; (b) be construed to prohibit any Consenting Creditor from contesting whether any matter, fact, or thing is a breach of, or is inconsistent with, this Agreement (including the Restructuring Term Sheet) or the Definitive Documents, or exercising rights or remedies specifically reserved herein or therein; (c) be construed to prohibit any Consenting Creditor from appearing as a party-in-interest in any matter to be adjudicated in the Chapter 11 Cases, or from consulting with any other party in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases (including any official committee and the United States Trustee), provided that during the Support Period, such

 

12


appearance or consultation, and the positions advocated in connection therewith, must not be inconsistent with this Agreement (including the Restructuring Term Sheet) and must not be for the purpose of (or could not reasonably be expected to) hindering, delaying, or preventing the consummation of the Restructuring Transactions; (d) subject to Section 5.05, limit the ability of any Consenting Creditor to assert any rights, claims, and/or defenses under the Debt Documents; or (e) affect the ability of any Consenting Creditor to consult with any other Consenting Creditor or the Company Parties.

5.05 Negative Covenants. The Consenting Creditors agree that, for the duration of the Support Period, each Consenting Creditor shall not take any action inconsistent with, or omit to take any action required by the Debt Documents, except to the extent that any such action or inaction is expressly contemplated or permitted by this Agreement (including the Restructuring Term Sheet), the Plan, or any of the other Definitive Documents.

5.06 Forbearance. Each Consenting Creditor agrees that, solely for the duration of the Support Period applicable to such Consenting Creditor, subject to Section 5.04, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement (including the Restructuring Term Sheet) each Consenting Creditor agrees to forbear from the exercise of its rights (including any right of set-off) or remedies it may have under the Debt Documents, and to defer any claims that have become automatically due and payable thereunder as a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, as applicable, and under applicable U.S. or foreign law or otherwise. Each Consenting Creditor further agrees that if any applicable trustee or collateral agent, including the Agents, takes any action inconsistent with such Consenting Creditor’s obligations under this Agreement or the Plan, such Consenting Creditor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to direct such administrative agent or collateral agent to cease, withdraw, and refrain from taking any such action.

5.07 Financing Commitments. Subject to the conditions set forth in the DIP Term Sheet, each Consenting Secured Noteholder and Tema, severally and not jointly, agrees to provide (or cause any of its designees to provide) its allocable share of the DIP Facility as set forth in the DIP Term Sheet on the terms and conditions set forth in the DIP Term Sheet. For the avoidance of doubt, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the commitment of the Consenting Secured Noteholder and Tema made pursuant to this Section 5.07 to enter into the DIP Credit Agreement and fund the DIP Facility as set forth in the DIP Term Sheet shall terminate; provided, however, that upon the closing of the DIP Credit Agreement, the DIP Credit Agreement shall govern the DIP Facility and any termination thereof.

5.08 Commitment of Certain Groups Only. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (a) the Parties understand that the Consenting Revolving Credit Agreement Lenders are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses and (b) in furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, to the extent a Consenting Revolving Credit Agreement Lender expressly indicates on its signature page hereto that it is executing this Agreement on behalf of specific trading desk(s) and/or business group(s) of the Consenting Revolving Credit Agreement Lender, the obligations set forth in this Agreement shall only apply to such trading desk(s) and/or business group(s) and shall not apply to any other trading desk or business group of the Consenting Revolving Credit Agreement Lender until such trading desk or business group is or becomes a party to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any Transfer to any other trading desk or business group of a Consenting Revolving Credit Agreement Lender that is not indicated on its signature page hereto, such Transfer is subject to Section 5.02 hereof.

9.02 Debtor Termination Events. Any Debtor may terminate this Agreement (the “Terminating Company Party”) as to all Parties (except as expressly provided below) upon prior written notice, delivered in accordance with Section 11.10 hereof, upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a) the breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant as set forth in this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that any actions required to be taken by the Consenting Creditors that are included in the Restructuring Term Sheet are to be considered “covenants” of such Consenting Creditors, and therefore covenants of this Agreement, notwithstanding the failure of any specific provisions in the Restructuring Term Sheet to be contained in this Agreement) that would have a material adverse effect on the Restructuring Transactions in any material respect, by one or more Consenting Creditors that remains uncured (to the extent curable) for five (5) Business Days after the Terminating Company Parties transmit a written notice in accordance with Section 11.10 detailing any such breach; provided that if the termination is due to a breach by Tema, the termination by the Terminating Company Party shall only terminate the Agreement between the Terminating Company Party and Tema;

(b) the board of directors, board of managers, or such similar governing body of any Company Party determines, after consulting with legal counsel, (i) that proceeding with any of the Restructuring Transactions would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties or applicable law or (ii) in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, to pursue an Alternative Proposal (a “Fiduciary Out”);

 

22


(c) the termination of this Agreement by (a) the Consenting Revolving Credit Agreement Lenders, (b) the Consenting Secured Noteholders, or (c) Tema.

9.03 Mutual Termination. This Agreement, and the obligations of all Parties hereunder, may be terminated by mutual agreement among the Required Revolving Credit Agreement Lenders, the Required Secured Noteholders, Tema, and each of the Company Parties.

9.04 Termination Upon Completion of the Restructuring Transactions. This Agreement, and the obligations of all Parties hereunder, shall terminate automatically without any further required action or notice on the Plan Effective Date.

9.05 Effect of Termination. No Party may terminate this Agreement if such Party failed to perform or comply in any material respect with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, with such failure to perform or comply in such material respect causing, or resulting in, the occurrence of one or more termination events specified herein. The date on which termination of this Agreement as to a Party is effective in accordance with Sections 9.01, 9.02, 9.03, or 9.04 shall be referred to as a “Termination Date”. Except as set forth below, upon the occurrence of a Termination Date as to a Party, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect as between the terminating Party and the other Parties, and each Party subject to such termination shall be released from its obligations, commitments, undertakings, and agreements under or related to this Agreement (or any documents, instruments, or agreements related hereto) and shall have the rights and remedies that it would have had, had it not entered into this Agreement (or any documents, instruments, or agreements related thereto), and shall be entitled to take any and all actions, whether with respect to the Restructuring Transactions or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement (or any documents, instruments, or agreements related thereto); provided that Sections 6.04 and 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if any class of Consenting Creditors terminates this Agreement, the remaining Consenting Creditors shall remain bound by this Agreement unless it is separately terminated by the remaining classes of Consenting Creditors or the Debtors, as applicable. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Date, any and all consents or ballots tendered by the Terminating Consenting Creditors, or in the event of termination by a Company, any and all consents or ballots tendered by any Party, before a Termination Date shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be null and void from the first instance and shall not be considered or otherwise used in any manner by the Parties in connection with the Restructuring Transactions and this Agreement or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit the Company Parties or any of the Consenting Creditors from contesting whether any such termination is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or to seek enforcement of any rights under this Agreement (or any documents, instruments, or agreements related thereto) that arose or existed before a Termination Date. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict (a) any right of any Company Party or the ability of any Company Party to protect and reserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its

 

23


claims against any Consenting Creditor, and (b) any right of any Consenting Creditor, or the ability of any Consenting Creditor to protect and preserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its claims against any Debtor or Consenting Creditor. Nothing in this Section 9.05 shall restrict any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Sections 9.01, 9.02, 9.03, or 9.04.

SECTION 10 AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. This Agreement, including the Restructuring Term Sheet, may not be modified, amended, restated, or supplemented in any manner except in writing signed by all of: (a) the Required Revolving Credit Agreement Lenders; (b) the Required Secured Noteholders; (c) Tema; and (d) each of the Company Parties; provided, however, that this Section 10 shall not be amended without the consent of each Consenting Creditor. Any proposed modification, amendment, restatement, or supplement that is not approved by the requisite Parties as set forth above shall be ineffective and void ab initio. No failure or delay by a Party in enforcing any of such Party’s rights under this Agreement will be deemed to be a waiver of such rights. No single or partial exercise of a Party’s rights will be deemed to preclude any other or further exercise of such Party’s rights under this Agreement. No waiver of any of a Party’s rights under this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Parties.

SECTION 11 MISCELLANEOUS.

11.01 Further Assurances. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Parties agree to execute and deliver such other documents, instruments, and agreements, and perform such acts, in addition to the matters herein specified, as may be reasonably appropriate or necessary, or as may be required by order of the Bankruptcy Court, from time to time, to effectuate the Restructuring Transactions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, as applicable.

11.02 Complete Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, oral or written, among the Parties with respect thereto.

11.03 Headings. The headings of all sections of this Agreement are inserted solely for the convenience of reference and are not a part of and are not intended to govern, limit, or aid in the construction or interpretation of any term or provision hereof.

11.04 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; SELECTION OF FORUM; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. Each Party hereto agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, to the extent possible, in either the United States District Court for Southern District of Texas or any Texas State court (the “Chosen Courts”), and solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement: (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts; (b) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts; and (c) waives any objection that the Chosen Courts

 

24


are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party hereto; provided, however, that if the Debtors commence the Chapter 11 Cases, then the Bankruptcy Court (or court of proper appellate jurisdiction) shall be the exclusive Chosen Court for the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases or as long as the Bankruptcy Court exercises jurisdiction over the Debtors.

11.05 Disclosure; Publicity. The Company Parties shall submit drafts of any press releases and public documents that constitute disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement or any amendment to the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise relating to the Restructuring Transactions, to counsel for the Consenting Creditors at least two (2) Business Days prior to making any such disclosure. Subject to Section 5.04, no Consenting Creditor shall, without the prior written consent of the Company Parties, make any public announcement or otherwise communicate (other than to decline to comment) with any Person with respect to this Agreement or the Restructuring Transactions or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than as may be required by applicable law and regulation or by any governmental or regulatory authority or as may be required in connection with an annual report or to any representative of any Party who reasonably needs to know such information or by a Party or any of its affiliates as part of such Person’s ordinary course internal or external reporting or review procedure or to such Person’s equity and debt investors or any current or prospective investors, in each case (to the extent applicable) so long as such Person is obligated to keep such information confidential on terms at least as protective as contained herein. This Section 11.05 shall not apply with respect to any information that is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in violation of any Party’s obligations under this Agreement. Except as required by applicable law or otherwise permitted under the terms of any other agreement between the Company Parties and any Consenting Creditor, no Party or its advisors shall disclose to any Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other Consenting Creditor), other than advisors to the Company Parties, the principal amount of Claims or Interests held by any Consenting Creditor, without such Consenting Creditor’s prior written consent; provided, however, that (a) if such disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or other legal process or regulation, the disclosing Party shall, to the extent permitted by law, afford the relevant Consenting Creditor a reasonable opportunity to review and comment in advance of such disclosure (or seek a protective order) and shall take all reasonable measures to limit such disclosure (the expense of which, if any, shall be borne by the relevant Consenting Creditor) and (b) the foregoing shall not prohibit the disclosure of the aggregate percentage or aggregate outstanding principal amount of Claims or Interests, held by each class of Consenting Creditors.

11.06 Trial by Jury Waiver. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

11.07 Execution of Agreement.

25


11.08 Interpretation and Rules of Construction. This Agreement is the product of negotiations among the Company Parties and the Consenting Creditors, and in the enforcement or interpretation hereof, is to be interpreted in a neutral manner, and any presumption with regard to interpretation for or against any Party by reason of that Party having drafted or caused to be drafted this Agreement, or any portion hereof, shall not be effective in regard to the interpretation hereof. The Company Parties and the Consenting Creditors were each represented by counsel during the negotiations and drafting of this Agreement and continue to be represented by counsel. In addition, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with section 102 of the Bankruptcy Code.

11.09 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, as applicable. There are no third party beneficiaries under this Agreement, and the rights or obligations of any Party under this Agreement may not be assigned, delegated, or transferred to any other Person.

The Restructuring will be implemented through prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases by the Company to pursue confirmation of the Plan. Votes on the Plan will be solicited from (i) holders of Revolving Credit Agreement Claims, (ii) holders of Secured Notes Claims and (iii) holders of TRA Claims.

 

As a component of the Restructuring:

Convertible Junior DIP Facility   

The Restructuring will be financed by consensual use of cash collateral and a new debtor-in-possession financing facility to ROC in the principal amount of $17.5 million (the “Convertible Junior DIP Facility”), which shall be junior to the Adequate Protection Liens, superpriority liens securing postpetition hedges, Revolving Credit Agreement Claims and Secured Notes Claims in terms of payment and lien priority as provided herein but senior to all other Claims and Interests. The Company shall be required to enter into (and draw 50% of) the Convertible Junior DIP Facility no later than three (3) Business Days after entry of the Interim DIP Order.

 

$15 million of the Convertible Junior DIP Facility shall be backstopped by the Secured Noteholders (the “EIG DIP Lenders” and such backstopped amount, the “EIG DIP Backstop Amount”), and $2.5 million shall be backstopped by the TRA Holder (the “TRA DIP Lenders” and such backstopped amount, the “TRA DIP Backstop Amount”) (all such participating persons or entities, the “DIP Lenders”). Notwithstanding

 

Exhibit A - 4


  

anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary, the TRA DIP Lenders shall have the right (to be exercised in their sole and absolute discretion, which decision must be made and conveyed to the EIG DIP Lenders no later than three (3) Business Days after the execution of the RSA) to subscribe to provide up to $7.5 million of the Convertible Junior DIP Facility (the actual amount of the Convertible Junior DIP Facility that is funded by the EIG DIP Lenders shall be the “EIG Convertible Junior DIP Facility” and the actual amount of the Convertible Junior DIP Facility that is funded by the TRA DIP Lenders shall be the “TRA Convertible Junior DIP Facility”).

 

The Convertible Junior DIP Facility shall have the other terms and conditions set forth in the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “DIP Term Sheet”).

 

The Debtors shall draw the full amount of the Convertible Junior DIP Facility prior to the Effective Date, subject to the Debtors’ satisfaction of the conditions precedent with respect to each such draw, which, to the extent the maturity thereof does not occur prior to the Effective Date, shall be converted to equity on the Effective Date on the terms provided herein.

 

Cash Collateral   

The Company shall have the ability to use cash collateral during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, and in exchange shall provide each Revolving Credit Agreement Lender and each Secured Noteholder with the following adequate protection, which shall be more fully set forth in interim and final cash collateral orders (which may be the orders approving the Convertible Junior DIP Facility) in form and substance acceptable to the Revolving Credit Agreement Lenders in their sole discretion and acceptable to the Secured Noteholders in their commercially reasonable discretion (and for the avoidance of doubt, if such cash collateral orders are the orders approving the Convertible Junior DIP Facility, such orders shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Majority DIP Lenders in their sole discretion):

 

(a)   first priority adequate protection claims and superpriority administrative claims (subject to the carve out) to the extent of any diminution in value of the applicable existing collateral (the “Adequate Protection Liens”);

 

(b)   payment of interest under the Revolving Credit Facility at the applicable non-default rate in cash;

 

(c)   payment of interest due under the Note Purchase Agreement on June 30, 2020 (and no subsequent accrued or unpaid interest) (the “Second Lien Interest Adequate Protection Payment”), may be made in cash to the Secured Noteholders on the Effective Date if after giving effect to payment of interest and other applicable transactions, the Minimum Liquidity Condition (defined below) is satisfied;

 

(d)   payment of the reasonable and documented fees, costs, and expenses of the Revolving Credit Agreement Lenders, Revolving Credit Agreement Agent, the Secured Noteholders and the Note Agent;

 

 

Exhibit A - 5


  

(e)   ongoing reporting under the applicable prepetition documents, with modifications to be agreed; and

 

(f)   budget variance requirements and reporting consistent with those described in the DIP Term Sheet.

 

All adequate protection claims shall be subject to the relative priorities set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of December 8, 2017 among the Revolving Credit Agreement Agent and the Note Agent (the “Intercreditor Agreement”).

 

Minimum Hedging   

ROC shall enter into commodity hedge transactions pursuant to standards agreed in advance by the Company, the Majority DIP Lenders, and Revolving Credit Agreement Agent in their reasonable discretion such that, as soon as practical (i) after the Petition Date (and in any case no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Petition Date), the notional volumes of such commodity hedge transactions represent at least 70% of reasonably anticipated projected production from oil and gas properties constituting proved developed producing reserves of ROC for each of the following 24 months (August 2020 to July 2022 based on the most recent reserve report) for each of crude oil and natural gas, calculated separately and (ii) no later than ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, the notional volumes of such commodity hedge transactions represent at least 50% of reasonably anticipated projected production from oil and gas properties constituting proved developed producing reserves of ROC for each of the following 25-30 months (August 2022 to January 2023 based on the most recent reserve report) for each of crude oil and natural gas, calculated separately; provided that, in each case, swaps shall represent at least 50% of all commodity hedge transactions and the remaining percentage may be in the form of costless collars or puts.3 All claims arising from commodity hedge transactions referred to in clause (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be pari passu to any adequate protection claims and superpriority administrative claims, as applicable, of the Revolving Credit Agreement Lenders, and senior to all other Claims and Interests (including the Convertible Junior DIP Facility or any other postpetition financing (other than as may be provided by the Revolving Credit Agreement Lenders)).

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, upon the Effective Date, the Company’s hedge obligations shall constitute “secured obligations” under the definitive documents governing the restructured Revolving Credit Agreement.

Upon the Effective Date, the Company’s hedge obligations shall be governed by the definitive documents for the new Revolving Credit Agreement.
