5.    ADDITIONAL PREPAYMENT
5.1.    Additional Prepayment Request. Seller may request, at Seller’s discretion, all or a portion of the First Additional Prepayment or the Second Additional Prepayment by delivery to Buyer of a duly completed Prepayment Request not later than 6:00 PM Eastern Time at least fifteen (15) days prior to the requested date of funding of the First Additional Prepayment or the Second Additional Prepayment.
6.    DELIVERY AND REIMBURSEMENT
6.1.    Delivery. Each Prepayment shall be discharged in priority by the delivery of the Crude Oil in monthly ‎instalments with the last delivery due on or before the Final Delivery Date, in ‎accordance with the Commercial Contracts (which, for the avoidance of doubt provide for delivery of volumes in excess of Initial Prepayment Volumes, First Additional Prepayment Volumes and Second Additional Prepayment Volumes) and this Agreement. In the event that all the Delivered Volumes in a calendar month exceeds the Scheduled Volumes for such calendar month, the payment received by Buyer for the forward sale of such excess Crude Oil volumes to a Final Buyer shall be remitted to Seller in accordance with the terms of the relevant Commercial Contract; provided that the Scheduled Volumes for such calendar month shall be allocated to each Field (including, for this Section 6.1 any additional locations that Seller or its Affiliates may deliver from during the term of this Agreement) based on the Field Allocation Factor and the amount of the remittance to Seller shall be calculated on a Field by Field basis each calendar month based on the amount that the

24


Delivered Volumes on a Field by Field basis exceed the Scheduled Volumes for each such Field as determined in accordance with this Section 6.1. For example, if the Delivered Volumes for a Field was 2,000 Barrels in a month and the total Delivered Volumes from all the Fields was 12,500 Barrels and the Scheduled Volumes for such month was 5,000 Barrels, then Buyer would remit payment to Seller for 1,200 Barrels for that Field 5,000 Barrels * (2,000 Barrels /12,500 Barrels) = 800 Barrels of Scheduled Volumes allocated to such Field; 2,000 Barrels from the Field – 800 Barrels of Scheduled Volumes allocated for such Field = 1,200 Barrels; Seller should be paid for 1,200 Barrels for that Field in accordance with the Commercial Contract for such Field. The remaining 6,300 Barrels to be remitted to Seller would be paid and allocated similarly for the other Fields.
In the event that Seller fails to deliver the specified amount of the Scheduled Volumes for a given calendar month, then such undelivered volumes shall be deliverable in the next calendar month; provided that if all of such undelivered volumes are not delivered in such next calendar month, in addition to the volumes expected to be delivered in such next calendar month, then Seller shall be in default under this Agreement. Seller may deliver volumes of crude oil owned by Seller or its Affiliates from any source in its ‎discretion, including the Crude Oil from the Fields in order to meet its obligations under this ‎Section 6.1, provided that such volumes from such sources shall be delivered under the same terms and conditions of the applicable Commercial Contract or Final Commercial Contract, as applicable. When making nominations under a Final Commercial Contract, Buyer agrees that Buyer’s nominations will match Seller’s nominations under the corresponding Commercial Contract and shall provide satisfactory evidence on a reasonable basis to Seller each calendar month.
6.2.    Final Delivery Date. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, unless extended by Buyer, the final delivery date for the Volumes shall be sixty (60) months following the Effective Date (or such later date as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) (the “Final Delivery Date”); provided however that in the event that Seller fails to deliver the specified amount of the Initial Prepayment Volumes or the Additional Prepayment Volumes, if applicable, by the Final Delivery Date, the Final Delivery Date shall automatically be extended ninety (90) days in to order to allow Seller to deliver any remaining volumes of the Initial Prepayment Volumes or the Additional Prepayment Volumes that are to be delivered to Buyer; provided that if all of such Initial Prepayment Volumes or Additional Prepayment Volumes, as applicable, are not delivered in such ninety (90) days, then Seller shall be in default under this Agreement.
6.3.    Replacement Final Commercial Contracts. In the event that either (a) Seller desires to replace a Final Buyer for any reason in Seller’s sole ‎discretion or (b) a Final Commercial Contract is terminated for any reason, (i) Seller will select a new ‎Final Buyer with a credit rating or a credit support provider with a long term debt rating of at least Baa3 ‎from Standard & Poor’s and at least BBB- from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, and Buyer will enter into a crude purchase ‎agreement with such Final Buyer upon terms acceptable to Buyer (in the event of a termination ‎pursuant to the foregoing (b), within 30 days), (ii) Buyer and Seller will terminate, as applicable, any ‎Commercial Contract that was related to the previous Final Buyer’s Final Commercial Contract, (iii) ‎Buyer and Seller will enter into a new Commercial Contract based on the terms of the new Final ‎Commercial Contract

25


between Buyer and the new Final Buyer. Buyer agrees to use all reasonable ‎commercial efforts to take all such actions required to enable Seller to continuously produce and sell ‎Crude Oil from the affected Field(s). With respect to (i) above, Seller shall provide Buyer with the ‎identity of the Final Buyer and a copy of the final draft Final Commercial Contract (in the event of a ‎termination pursuant to the foregoing (b), within 20 days), and Buyer shall have two (2) Business Days ‎from receipt of such information to make any reasonable specific objections to the Final Buyer or the ‎terms of the Final Commercial Contract and if Buyer reasonably objects, Seller shall work with Buyer to ‎address the objections and find an acceptable Final Buyer. Failure by Buyer to object within two (2) ‎Business Days shall be deemed acceptance by Buyer of the Final Buyer and Final Commercial Contract ‎and Seller shall enter into such Final Commercial Contract not objected to within 8 days. Seller shall ‎promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days indemnify Buyer for all reasonable out of ‎pocket losses, costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by Buyer as a result of replacing or not replacing a ‎Final Commercial Contract in accordance with Section 6.3, including any reasonable out of pocket ‎losses, costs, expenses and liabilities that Buyer may suffer under any of the Final Commercial ‎Contracts.
