This Limited Waiver and Amendment No. 5 to Credit Agreement (this “Amendment”)
dated as of June 23, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), is among Berry Petroleum
Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), Berry
Corporation (bry), a Delaware corporation (the “Parent” and the “Guarantor”),
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (in such
capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as issuing lender (in such capacity,
the “Issuing Lender”), and the Lenders (as defined below).
RECITALS

A.    Reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of July 31,
2017 (as amended by that certain Limited Waiver and Amendment No. 1 to Credit
Agreement dated as of November 16, 2017, Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement
dated as of March 8, 2018, Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement dated as of
November 14, 2018, and Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement dated as of December
17, 2019, and as further amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified
from time to time, including by this Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) among
the Borrower, the Parent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the
financial institutions party thereto as lenders from time to time (the
“Lenders”).

B.    Pursuant to Section 5.2(e)(ii) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower is
required to deliver a report with respect to its compliance with Section 6.15 of
the Credit Agreement within three Business Days of the end of each calendar
month. The Borrower has failed to deliver such required reports for the calendar
months ended November, 2019 through May, 2020 (the “Hedge Certificate Default”),
which has resulted in a Default that, if unremedied, would result in an Event of
Default under Section 7.1(c) of the Credit Agreement, and has requested that the
Majority Lenders waive the Hedge Certificate Default and each Default or Event
of Default that may have arisen out of a representation or warranty made by the
Borrower that no Default had occurred and was continuing (but only to the extent
such representation or warranty was untrue solely due to the Hedge Certificate
Default) (the “Representation Defaults” and together with the Hedge Certificate
Default, the “Subject Defaults”).

C.    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) the parties
hereto wish to amend the Credit Agreement as provided herein, (ii) the Lenders
party hereto have agreed to waive the Subject Defaults permanently, and (iii)
the Lenders party hereto (which constitute at least the Required Lenders) have
agreed to decrease the Borrowing Base to $200,000,000 in accordance with the
regularly scheduled Borrowing Base redetermination process described in Section
2.2(b) of the Credit Agreement, subject to the established Aggregate Elected
Commitment Amount of $200,000,000.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants,
representations and warranties contained herein, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 1.Defined Terms. As used in this Amendment, each of the terms defined in
the opening paragraph and the Recitals above shall have the meanings assigned to
such terms therein. Each term defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein
without definition shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Credit
Agreement, unless expressly provided to the contrary.
Section 2.    Other Definitional Provisions. Article, Section, Schedule, and
Exhibit references are to Articles and Sections of and Schedules and Exhibits to
this Amendment, unless otherwise specified. The words “hereof”, “herein”, and
“hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Amendment shall refer
to this Amendment as a whole and not to any particular provision of this
Amendment. The term “including” means “including, without limitation,”.
Paragraph headings have been inserted in this Amendment as a matter of
convenience for reference only and it is agreed that such paragraph headings are
not a part of this Amendment and shall not be used in the interpretation of any
provision of this Amendment.
Section 3.    Waiver.
(a)    The Borrower hereby acknowledges the existence and continuation of the
Subject Defaults.
(b)    The Lenders hereby agree, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Amendment, to waive permanently the Subject Defaults. The limited waiver by the
Lenders described in this Section 3(b) is contingent upon the satisfaction of
the conditions precedent set forth below in this Amendment and is limited to the
Subject Defaults. Such waiver is limited to the extent described herein and
shall not be construed to be a consent to any other (existing or future)
non-compliance with, or a permanent waiver of, Section 5.2(e)(ii) of the Credit
Agreement, or any other terms, provisions, covenants, warranties or agreements
contained in the Credit Agreement or in any of the other Credit Documents. The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders reserve the right to exercise any rights
and remedies available to them in connection with any other present or future
Defaults or Events of Default with respect     to the Credit Agreement or any
other provision of any Credit Document. The Credit Parties acknowledge that any
failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time or times hereafter
to require strict performance by any Credit Party of any provision of the Credit
Agreement and each other Credit Document shall not waive, affect or diminish any
right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to thereafter demand strict
compliance therewith.
Section 4.    Borrowing Base. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
below, the Borrowing Base is hereby redetermined to be $200,000,000 effective as
of the Effective Date, and such Borrowing Base shall remain in effect at that
level until the Borrowing Base is next redetermined or adjusted pursuant to the
terms of the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowing Base
redetermination set forth in this Section 4 shall constitute the regularly
scheduled Semi-Annual Redetermination to be made on or about April 1, 2020
pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i) of the Credit Agreement. The parties hereto hereby
acknowledge and agree that any delay in timing in connection with the
redetermination of the Borrowing Base hereunder shall not constitute any course
of dealing or other basis for altering any obligation of the Credit Parties or
any right, privilege or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under
the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents, all of which are expressly
reserved by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

working capital of the Credit Parties for such period (including, without
limitation, exploration expenses paid in cash); provided that, Consolidated

Interest Expense is paid in cash during such Applicable Measurement Period;
provided further that, to the extent that tax credits received by any Credit

received by the Credit Parties for the Applicable Measurement Period by four and
attributing the quotient equally to each of the four fiscal quarters in such

QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or
such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same
extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution
Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest,
obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United
States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC
Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S.
Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might
otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be
exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater
extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special
Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by
the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without
limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and
remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event
affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any
QFC Credit Support.
