RECITALS

A.The Borrower is party to that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement dated as of June 7, 2013, among the Borrower, the lenders thereto from
time to time (the "Lenders"), the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
the Swing Line Lender, and the Issuing Lender, as heretofore amended (as so
amended, the "Credit Agreement").

B.The Borrower has requested that Administrative Agent and the Lenders, subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) amend the Credit Agreement as
provided herein and (ii) provide a waiver of the Event of Default arising as a
result of the Borrower changing its name to “Gastar Exploration Inc.” without
the necessary notice and consent required under Section 6.11 of the Credit
Agreement (the “Existing Default”).

THEREFORE, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders, the Issuing Lender, the
Swing Line Lender, the Collateral Agent, and the Administrative Agent hereby
agree as follows:
Section 1.Defined Terms; Interpretation. As used in this Agreement, 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.
The words "hereby", "herein", "hereinafter", "hereof", "hereto" and "hereunder"
when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to
any particular Article, Section, subsection or provision of this Agreement.
Article, Section, subsection and Exhibit references herein are to such Articles,
Sections, subsections and Exhibits of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.
All titles or headings to Articles, Sections, subsections or other divisions of
this Agreement or the exhibits hereto, if any, are only for the convenience of
the parties and shall not be construed to have any effect or meaning with
respect to the other content of such Articles, Sections, subsections, other
divisions or exhibits, such other content being controlling as the agreement
among the parties hereto. Whenever the context requires, reference herein made
to the single number shall be understood to include the plural; and likewise,
the plural shall be understood to include the singular. Words denoting sex shall
be construed to include the masculine, feminine and neuter, when such
construction is appropriate; and specific enumeration shall not exclude the

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

general but shall be construed as cumulative. Definitions of terms defined in
the singular or plural shall be equally applicable to the plural or singular, as
the case may be, unless otherwise indicated.
Section 1.    Waiver. The Borrower hereby acknowledges the existence of the
Existing Default. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Lenders hereby waive the Existing Default. The waiver by the Lenders described
in this Section 2 is limited to the Existing Default and shall not be construed
to be a consent to, or a permanent waiver of, noncompliance with Section 6.11 of
the Credit Agreement, or any other terms, provisions, covenants, warranties or
agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or in any of the other Loan
Documents. The Lenders expressly reserve the right to exercise any rights and
remedies available to them in connection with any present or future defaults
with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other provision of any Loan Document
other than the Existing Default. The description herein of the Existing Default
is based upon the information provided to the Lenders on or prior to the date
hereof and shall not be deemed to exclude the existence of any other Defaults or
Events of Default. The failure of the Lenders to give notice to any Loan Party
of any such other Defaults or Events of Default is not intended to be nor shall
be a waiver thereof. Each Loan Party hereby agrees and acknowledges that the
Lenders require and will require strict performance by the Loan Parties of all
of their respective obligations, agreements and covenants contained in the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and no inaction or action by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swing Line
Lender, or any Lender regarding any Default or Event of Default (including but
not limited to the Existing Default) under any of the Loan Documents is intended
to be or shall be a waiver thereof other than the waiver of the Existing Default
expressly provided for in this Section 2. Other than the waiver of the Existing
Default expressly provided for in this Section 2, each Loan Party hereby also
agrees and acknowledges that no course of dealing and no delay in exercising any
right, power, or remedy conferred to any Lender in the Credit Agreement or in
any other Loan Document or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by
statute, or otherwise shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any
such right, power, or remedy (collectively, the "Lender Rights"). For the
avoidance of doubt, each Loan Party also agrees and acknowledges that neither
the waiver provided in this Agreement nor any other waiver provided by the
Lenders prior to the date hereof shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise
prejudice any of the Lender Rights other than the waiver of the Existing Default
expressly provided for in this Section 2.
Section 2.    Amendments to Credit Agreement.
(a)    The cover page and page 1 of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended by
placing each reference to “Gastar Exploration USA, Inc.” with a reference to
