ARTICLE I 
 Definitions 

SECTION 1.1    Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below:

Section 2.21. 
 “Additional Borrower Counterpart” is defined in
Section 2.21(a)(v).

Section 2.21(c). 
 “Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any LIBOR Borrowing for any

“Administrative Agent” means JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent for the Issuing Banks and the
Lenders. 
 “Administrative Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative

any Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender at the time of determination.

favorable than; “£” means a rating equal to or less favorable than; “>” means a rating greater than; “<” means a rating less than; (ii) in the event that a one

the Moody’s and S&P ratings, then the Applicable Rating Level shall equal one level lower than the higher rating; (iv) if only one of Moody’s and S&P shall have in effect a rating for the Index Debt (other than by reason of
the circumstances referred to in the penultimate sentence of this definition), then the Applicable Rating Level shall be the rating that is one Level below the rating established by such party; (v) if there is no rating for the Index Debt from
Moody’s and S&P, then the Applicable Rating Level shall equal Level V; and (vi) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a
change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in the Applicable Rating Level shall apply during the period
commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if any such rating agency shall cease to be in
the business of rating corporate debt obligations, Apache, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and,

reborrow Loans. Apache shall be liable for all Obligations. Any Additional Borrower shall be severally liable for all Obligations which it incurs as further set forth in Section 10.13. 

SECTION 2.2    Loans and Borrowings. 

(a)    Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with
their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall
be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 
 (b)    Subject to
Section 2.13, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or LIBOR Loans in US Dollars as Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or
foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

that is an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 and not less than US$5,000,000 (including any continuation or conversion of existing Loans made in connection therewith). At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an
aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 and not less than US$5,000,000 (including any continuation or conversion of existing Loans made in connection therewith); provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that
is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments, or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.4(e). Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding
at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten (10) LIBOR Borrowings outstanding. 

(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to
convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date. 
 SECTION

irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or electronic mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request 

  
 25 







 
signed by Borrower. Each telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2: 

(i)    the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 

(ii)    the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iv)    in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall
be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then
the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested LIBOR Borrowing, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. Promptly
following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.4    Letters of Credit. 

(a)    Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may request the issuance of
Letters of Credit for its own account and Apache may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any Subsidiary, in either a Pre-Approved LC Form or any other form reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period by submitting a Request for Letter of Credit which shall be irrevocable, and (subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 4.2), the applicable Issuing Bank will issue such Letters of Credit from an Applicable Issuing Office. Letters of Credit shall be denominated in the applicable Requested Currency; provided, however,
that a Letter of Credit not denominated in US Dollars is subject to adjustment of applicable amounts and thresholds pursuant to Section 2.19(b). Apache unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any
Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Subsidiary as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, it will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of LC Disbursements, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under
Section 2.11(b) to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions
of any agreement submitted to, or entered into with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Issuing Bank’s records of the content of any Instruction shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. An Issuing Bank may transmit a Letter of Credit and any amendment thereto by S.W.I.F.T. message and thereby bind Applicant directly and as indemnitor to the S.W.I.F.T. rules, including rules obligating Applicant or Issuing
Bank to pay charges. An Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall by its terms enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of
Credit, or any law, rule, regulation of, or treaty among, one or more 

  
 26 







 
Governmental Authorities applicable to such Issuing Bank or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall
prohibit, or direct that such Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the
Effective Date and for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder. 
 (b)    Procedure for
Requesting a Letter of Credit. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), a Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to an Issuing Bank with a notice copy to the Administrative Agent (reasonably, but no less than four (4) Business Days, in advance of the requested date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension) a Request for Letter of Credit requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit will become effective, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.4(c) below), the amount and
Requested Currency of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended,
renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, Apache shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC
Exposure of such Issuing Bank shall not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment, (ii) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the lesser of (A) aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments and (B) US$3,000,000,000, (iii) the total Credit
Exposure shall not exceed the total Commitments and (iv) following the effectiveness of any Maturity Date extension request, the LC Exposure in respect of all Letters of Credit having an expiration date after the previously effective Maturity
Date shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments of the consenting Lenders extended pursuant to Section 2.6; provided that an Issuing Bank shall not issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit (other than
automatic renewals thereof pursuant to customary evergreen provisions or amendments that do not effect an extension, or increase the stated face amount, of such Letter of Credit) if it shall have been notified by the Administrative Agent at the
written request of the Required Lenders that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that, as a result, no further Letters of Credit shall be issued by it (a “Letter of Credit Suspension Notice”);
provided, however, that such Issuing Bank shall have received such Letter of Credit Suspension Notice no less than four (4) Business Days prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit. Each determination as to whether a Letter of
Credit constitutes a Financial Letter of Credit or a Performance Letter of Credit shall be made by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, acting reasonably and, once made, shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, the Lenders
and the Issuing Banks. 
 (c)    Letter of Credit Tenor. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the
close of business not later than the earlier of (i) the date one (1) year after the date of effectiveness of such Letter of Credit; provided that the date of effectiveness of such Letter of Credit shall be a date no longer than 40
days after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one (1) year after the expiration date in effect immediately 

  
 27 







 
preceding such renewal or extension) and (ii) the then effective Maturity Date; provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the renewal thereof for additional periods (which
shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above) upon notice by the applicable Borrower delivered to the Issuing Lender not less than ten (10) days before the then effective expiration date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Letter of Credit issued hereunder may, in the sole discretion of the applicable Issuing Bank, expire after the Maturity Date for one additional extension period but on or before the date that is one year after the Maturity Date,
provided that Borrower hereby agrees that it shall provide cash collateral in an amount in the same Currency of issuance of such Letter of Credit equal to 102% of the LC Exposure plus 100% of the Letter of Credit Fees for the period up to the
extended expiration date in respect of any such outstanding Letter of Credit to the applicable Issuing Bank at least five (5) days prior to the Maturity Date, which such amount shall be (i) deposited by Borrower in an account in the name
of Borrower at, and for the benefit of, such Issuing Bank and (ii) held by such Issuing Bank for, and until, the satisfaction of Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit until the expiration of such Letter
of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the deposit or through the investment of such deposits, which investments, if
any, shall be made by the Issuing Bank, at its option and reasonable discretion, in consultation with Borrower, and at Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall
accumulate in such account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any Letter of Credit issued with an expiration date beyond the Maturity Date shall, to the extent of any undrawn amount remaining thereunder on the Maturity Date,
cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding under this Agreement for purposes of the Lenders’ obligations to participate in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(d). For the avoidance of doubt, if the
Maturity Date shall be extended pursuant to Section 2.6, “Maturity Date” as referenced in this sentence shall refer to the Maturity Date as extended pursuant to Section 2.6;
provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including Section 2.6 hereof) or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Maturity Date and the Availability Period, as such terms are used in reference
to any Issuing Bank or any Letter of Credit issued thereby, may not be extended with respect to any Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of such Issuing Bank. If Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral pursuant to this
Section 2.4(c), such amount including any accumulated interest or profit (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrower within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of all Letters of
Credit secured by such amounts and the repayment of any LC Disbursements made in respect thereof, and, to the extent applicable, any lien related to the cash collateral shall be released by the Issuing Bank. 

(d)    Issuance of Letters of Credit. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit
increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in
such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely
and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, the Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such LC Disbursement made by such
Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by Borrower on the applicable date due as 

  
 28 







 
provided in Section 2.4(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation
to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit
(provided that such Letter of Credit shall expire no later than the date set forth in Section 2.4(c)), or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such
payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (e)    Repayment of
Drawings. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse or cause reimbursement of such LC Disbursement by paying or causing to be paid to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to
such LC Disbursement in the same currency as such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately following the date on which Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement;
provided that Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 that such payment be financed with a Borrowing in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of
such LC Disbursement and, to the extent so financed, Borrower’s obligation to make such payment or cause it to be made shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing. To the extent such payment is so financed or Borrower fails to
make such payment or cause it to be made when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from Borrower in the Dollar Equivalent amount in respect thereof and such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent amount of such payment then due from Borrower in US Dollars, in the same
manner as provided in Section 2.5 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.5 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from Borrower or any Subsidiary pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative
Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.
Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation
to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (f)    Obligations; Limitation on Liability. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.4(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented
under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft
or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the honoring of a presentation under any Letter of Credit which on its face substantially complies 

  
 29 







 
with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (v) the honoring of a presentation of any Drawing Documents which appear on their face to have been signed, presented or issued (X) by any
purported successor or transferee of any beneficiary or other party required to sign, present or issue the Drawing Documents or (Y) under a new name of the beneficiary, (vi) acceptance as a draft of any written or electronic demand or
request for payment under a Letter of Credit, even if nonnegotiable or not in the form of a draft, and may disregard any requirement that such draft, demand or request bear any or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit, (vii) the identity
or authority of any presenter or signer of any Drawing Document or the form, accuracy, genuineness, or legal effect of any presentation under any Letter of Credit or of any Drawing Documents, (viii) the disregarding of any non-documentary conditions stated in any Letter of Credit, (ix) acting upon any Instruction which it, in Good Faith, believes to have been given by a Person authorized to give such instruction, (x) any
delay in giving or failing to give any notice, (xi) any acts, omissions or fraud by, or the solvency of, any beneficiary, (xii) any breach of contract between the beneficiary and Applicant or any of the parties to the underlying
transaction, (xiii) any assertion or waiver of any provision of the UCP 600 or ISP 98 which primarily benefits an issuer of a letter of credit, including, any requirement that any Drawing Document be presented to it at a particular hour or
place, (xiv) any payment to any paying or negotiating bank (designated or permitted by the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit) claiming that it rightfully honored or is entitled to reimbursement or indemnity under the Standard Letter of
Credit Practice applicable to it, (xv) any acting or failing to act as required or expressly permitted under Standard Letter of Credit Practice (or in the case of other independent undertakings or guarantees, the UN Convention) applicable to
where it has issued, confirmed, advised or negotiated such Credit, as the case may be, or (xvi) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this
Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, Borrower’s obligations hereunder. To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders nor any of the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment
thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter
of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.4(f) shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims
in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented
under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear
on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment 

  
 30 







 upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to
the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. If, at the applicable Issuing Bank’s and Administrative Agent’s discretion, a
Letter of Credit is to be governed by a law other than (i) that of the State of New York or (ii) the law specified in a Pre-Approved LC Form, Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any costs, losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Issuing Bank resulting from any act or omission by Issuing Bank in accordance with the UCP or the ISP, as applicable,
and Applicant shall indemnify Issuing Bank for all such costs, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, subject to Section 10.3(d). 

(g)    LC Disbursements. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all
documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower by telephone or electronic mail (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for
payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the
Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (h)    Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, unless Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but
excluding the date that Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate of interest per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement by the date that is three (3) Business
Days following the date such reimbursement is due pursuant to Section 2.4(e), then Section 2.12(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the
applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such
payment. 
 (i)    Cash Collateralization in Event of Default. If any Event of Default described in
Section 8.1(a) shall occur and be continuing, Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days after Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of
cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders, an amount in cash in US Dollars equal to
Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate LC Exposure plus estimated Letter of Credit Fees for the period up to the current maturity (without any renewal) for any outstanding Letter of Credit; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash
collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the (i) occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to Borrower described in
Section 8.1(g) or (ii) acceleration of the maturity of the Loans and termination of the Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 8.3. Each such deposit shall be held by
the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement in accordance with this paragraph. The 

  
 31 







 
Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits,
which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such
account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the
reimbursement obligations of Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement. If Borrower is required to provide an amount of
cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount including any accumulated interest or profit (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrower within five (5) Business Days after
the earlier of (i) all Events of Default have been cured or waived or (ii) expiration of all Letters of Credit secured by such amounts and the repayment of any LC Disbursements made in respect thereof, and, to the extent applicable, any
lien related to the cash collateral shall be released by the Administrative Agent. 
 (j)    Designation of
Additional Issuing Banks. Apache may, at any time and from time to time, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, designate as Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve, in such Lender’s sole discretion, in such capacity as
provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, executed by Apache, the Administrative
Agent and such Issuing Bank, including a sublimit for the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit it is willing to issue (which amount will be the Letter of Credit Commitment of such Issuing Bank), and, from and after the effective date of such
agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an
issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank under this Agreement at any time that such Issuing Bank has no Letters of Credit issued and outstanding
under this Agreement; provided that (i) any resignation by such Issuing Bank as such shall be subject to Apache’s prior written acknowledgement and acceptance, and (ii) any assignment by a Lender that is an Issuing Bank of its
Letter of Credit Commitment shall be subject to Apache’s prior written consent, which acknowledgement and acceptance or consent, as applicable, may be withheld by Apache in its sole and absolute discretion unless and until one or more Issuing
Banks or additional Issuing Banks with the same or higher Bank Rating and which are eligible and able to issue Letters of Credit that comply in all respects with the requirements of the Security Arrangements assume and become obligated for the
Letter of Credit Commitment of the resigning or assigning Issuing Bank, and in such event, Apache shall not unreasonably withhold its acknowledgment and acceptance or consent, as applicable; provided, however, notwithstanding the
foregoing, if there is a Change of Law which prohibits an Issuing Bank from acting as an Issuing Bank under this Agreement, then such Issuing Bank shall be permitted to resign as an Issuing Bank at any time thereafter that such Issuing Bank has no
Letters of Credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Agreement. 
 (k)    Termination of Issuing Banks.
Apache may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such 

  
 32 







 
Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank acknowledging receipt of such notice and
(ii) the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable to
Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero. At the time any such termination shall become effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid Letter of Credit Fees accrued for the account of the terminated
Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit
issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit. Without limiting the foregoing, following the delivery by Apache of any notice of termination in respect of any Issuing Bank (and regardless of whether
such notice has become effective), such Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit. 

(l)    Issuing Bank Reporting. Each Issuing Bank acknowledges and agrees that it will provide a report
(“Issuing Bank LC Report”) to Administrative Agent on (i) the same date of issuance, amendment, or cancellation of any Letter of Credit, which report shall be deemed effective as of the date of such issuance, amendment, or
cancellation (the “Change Report Effective Date”) and (ii) on the first (1st) Business Day following the end of each calendar month, which report shall be deemed effective as
of the last day of such calendar month (the “Status Report Effective Date”). Each Issuing Bank LC Report shall provide as of the effective date of such report (i) the face amount, the amount of any drawings, the undrawn amount
and any other relevant information for all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, (ii) the LC Exposure of such Issuing Bank, calculated on a daily basis for each day since the most recently delivered Issuing Bank LC Report, with the
amounts set forth in the currency of issuance of such Letters of Credit, and (iii) any additional information reasonably requested by Administrative Agent. 

(m)    Electronic Transmissions. Each Issuing Bank is authorized to accept and process any Request for Letter of
Credit and any amendments, transfers, assignments of proceeds, Instructions, consents, waivers and all documents relating to the Letter of Credit or the Request for Letter of Credit which are sent to such Issuing Bank by electronic transmission,
including S.W.I.F.T., electronic mail, facsimile, courier, mail or other computer generated telecommunications and such electronic communication shall have the same legal effect as if written and shall be binding upon and enforceable against
Applicant. Each Issuing Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, require authentication of such electronic transmission or that such Issuing Bank receives original documents prior to acting on such electronic transmission. If it is a condition of
the Letter of Credit that payment may be made upon receipt by an Issuing Bank of an electronic transmission advising negotiation, Applicant hereby agrees to reimburse applicable Issuing Bank on demand for the amount indicated in such electronic
transmission advice, and further agrees to hold such Issuing Bank harmless if the documents fail to arrive, or if, upon the arrival of the documents, such Issuing Bank should determine that the documents do not comply with the terms and conditions
of the Letter of Credit. 

  
 33 







 (n)    Standby Letters of Credit. 

(i)    Installments. If a Letter of Credit is issued subject to UCP 600, unless otherwise agreed, in
the event that any installment of the Letter of Credit is not drawn within the period allowed for that installment, the Letter of Credit may continue to be available for any subsequent installments in the sole discretion of Issuing Bank,
notwithstanding Article 32 of UCP 600. 
 (ii)    Auto Extend Notice. If a Letter of Credit
provides for automatic extension without amendment, Applicant agrees that it will notify the applicable Issuing Bank in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the last day specified in such Letter of Credit by which such Issuing Bank
must give notice that Letter Credit is not to be extended. Unless the Borrower so specifies that such Letter of Credit is not to be extended or an Event of Default then exists and is continuing, the Issuing Bank shall, subject to
Section 2.4(c), extend such Letter of Credit. Applicant hereby acknowledges and agrees that if (i) Borrower so specifies that such Letter of Credit is not to be extended or an Event of Default then exists and is
continuing and (ii) such Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit that it will not be extended and the beneficiary thereafter draws on such Letter of Credit, then Applicant shall have no claim or cause of action against
such Issuing Bank or defense against payment under this Agreement for such non-extension. 

(iii)    Pending Expiry Notice. If a Letter of Credit’s terms and conditions provide that the
applicable Issuing Bank give beneficiary a notice of pending expiration, Applicant agrees that it will notify such Issuing Bank in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the last day specified in such Letter of Credit by which such
Issuing Bank must give such notice of the pending expiration date. In the event Applicant fails to so notify the applicable Issuing Bank and such Letter of Credit is extended, Applicant’s Obligations under this Agreement, including this
Section 2.4, shall continue in effect and be binding on Applicant with regard to the Letter of Credit as so extended. 

(o)    Existing Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit (as defined in the Existing 2016 Credit Facility) issued
under the Existing 2016 Credit Facility and outstanding as of the Effective Date and is specified on Schedule 2.4(o) (each an “Existing Letter of Credit”) is hereby deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding under
this Agreement as of the Effective Date and the issuer thereof is hereby deemed to be an Issuing Bank hereunder. 
 SECTION
2.5    Funding of Borrowings. 
 (a)    Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it
hereunder on the proposed date thereof solely by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to Borrower by promptly crediting the funds so received in the aforesaid account of the Administrative Agent to an account of Borrower designated by Borrower from time to time in a written notice
to the Administrative Agent executed by (i) two Authorized Officers of Apache, and (ii) with respect to a Loan to an Additional Borrower, two Authorized Officers of such Additional Borrower; provided that ABR Loans made to finance
the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.4(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. 

  
 34 







 (b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on
the requested date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the NYFRB Rate or a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans made in such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such
Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.6    Extension of Maturity Date and of
Commitments. 
 (a)    Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and provided that no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the total Commitments shall be effective for an initial period from the Effective Date to the Original Maturity Date; provided that the applicable Maturity Date, and concomitantly the total Commitments, may be
extended (but not more than two (2) times during the life of this Agreement) for one successive period expiring on the date which is one (1) year from the then scheduled Maturity Date. If Apache shall request in a Certificate of Extension
delivered to the Administrative Agent at least 45 days, but no more than 90 days, prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date that the Maturity Date be extended for one (1) year from the then scheduled Maturity Date, then the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request and each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent, no later than 30 days after such Lender’s receipt of such notice, whether such Lender, in the exercise of its sole discretion, will
extend the Maturity Date for such one (1) year period. Any Lender which shall not timely notify the Administrative Agent whether it will extend the Maturity Date shall be deemed to not have agreed to extend the Maturity Date. No Lender shall
have any obligation whatsoever to agree to extend the Maturity Date. Any agreement to extend the Maturity Date by any Lender shall be irrevocable, except as provided in Section 2.6(c). 

(b)    If all Lenders notify the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.6(a) of their
agreement to extend the Maturity Date, then the Administrative Agent shall so notify each Lender and Borrower, and such extension shall be effective without other or further action by any party hereto for such additional one (1) year period.

 (c)    If Lenders constituting at least the Required Lenders approve the extension of the then scheduled Maturity
Date (such Lenders agreeing to extend the Maturity Date herein called the “Accepting Lenders”) and if one or more Lenders shall notify, or be deemed to notify, the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.6(a) that they will not extend the then scheduled 

  
 35 







 
Maturity Date (such Lenders herein called the “Declining Lenders”), then (A) the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify Borrower and the Accepting Lenders,
(B) the Accepting Lenders shall, upon Borrower’s election to extend the then scheduled Maturity Date in accordance with clause (i) below, extend the then scheduled Maturity Date and (C) Borrower shall, pursuant to a notice
delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Accepting Lenders and the Declining Lenders, no later than the tenth (10th) day following the date by which each Lender is required, pursuant to
Section 2.6(a), to approve or disapprove the requested extension of the total Commitments, either: 

(i)    elect to extend the Maturity Date and, prior to or no later than the then scheduled Maturity Date,
(A) to replace one or more of the Declining Lenders with another lender or lenders reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such lenders herein called the “Replacement Lenders”) and (B) Borrower shall pay in full
in immediately available funds all Obligations of Borrower owing to any Declining Lenders which are not being replaced, as provided in clause (A) above; provided that (x) any Replacement Lender shall purchase, and any Declining
Lender shall sell, such Declining Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder without recourse or expense to, or warranty by, such Declining Lender being replaced for a purchase price equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Obligations payable to such Declining Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Obligations and accrued but unpaid fees or other amounts owing in respect of such Declining Lender’s Loans and Commitments hereunder, including
compensation for any break funding, to the extent required by Section 2.15, and (y) upon the payment of such amounts referred to in clause (x) and the execution of an Assignment and Assumption by such Replacement
Lender and such Declining Lender, such Replacement Lender shall constitute a Lender hereunder and such Declining Lender being so replaced shall no longer constitute a Lender (other than for purposes of Section 2.14 through
Section 2.17, Section 2.19 and Section 10.3), and shall no longer have any obligations hereunder, other than to the Agents pursuant to
Article IX; or 
 (ii)    elect to revoke and cancel the extension request in
such Certificate of Extension by giving notice of such revocation and cancellation to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof) no later than the tenth (10th) day
following the date by which each Lender is required, pursuant to Section 2.6(a), to approve or disapprove the requested extension of the Maturity Date, and concomitantly the total Commitments. 

If Borrower fails to timely provide the election notice referred to in this Section 2.6(c), Borrower shall be deemed to have revoked
and cancelled the extension request in the Certificate of Extension and to have elected not to extend the Maturity Date. 

(d)    Irrespective of the Maturity Date applicable to each Lender, all Lenders will be treated identically prior to the
Maturity Date applicable to a particular Lender. 

  
 36 







 SECTION 2.7    Interest Elections. 

(a)    Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request (or an ABR Borrowing if
no Type is specified) and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request (or one (1) month if no Interest Period is specified). Thereafter, Borrower may elect to convert such
Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. Borrower may, subject to the requirements of
Section 2.2(c), elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing,
and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 
 (b)    To make an election
pursuant to this Section, Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the
Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or electronic mail to the
Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request. 
 (c)    Each telephonic and written Interest Election
Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2: 

(i)    the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being
elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting
Borrowing); 
 (ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR
Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing; and 
 (iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBOR Borrowing, the
Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a LIBOR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. 
 (d)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election
Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e)    If Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBOR Borrowing prior to the end
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall 

  
 37 







 
be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required
Lenders, so notifies Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid and provided the Indebtedness has not been
accelerated pursuant to Section 8.3, each LIBOR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

SECTION 2.8    Termination and Reduction of Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments. 

(a)    Unless previously terminated, the Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

 (b)    Apache may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each
reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 and not less than US$5,000,000 and (ii) Apache shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of
the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments. 

(c)    Apache shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under
Section 2.11(c) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by Apache pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by Apache may state that
such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Apache (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.
Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 

SECTION 2.9    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 

(a)    Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then
unpaid principal amount of each Loan in US Dollars on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, the date on which the Commitment of such Lender relating to such Loan is terminated (except for termination of the Commitment of the assigning Lender pursuant to
Section 10.4(b)). 
 (b)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(c)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made
hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period 

  
 38 







 
applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum
received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(d)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section
shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e)    Any Lender may
request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered
assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.4) be
represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if any such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 

SECTION 2.10    Prepayment of Loans. 

(a)    Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject
to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.10(b). 
 (b)    If the sum of the Dollar
Equivalent of the total Credit Exposure exceeds the total Commitments at any time, Borrower shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, any Loans outstanding in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess which payment shall be made to the
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of each Lender within ten (10) days of Borrower receiving notice from Administrative Agent that such payment is due; provided that, if after prepaying all of such Loans the Dollar Equivalent
of the total Credit Exposure continues to exceed the total Commitments, Borrower shall deposit cash collateral with the Administrative Agent in the amount of such excess and in the manner set forth in
Section 2.4(i) except such deposit will be made within five (5) days after Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that Borrower is required to make such deposit. 

(c)    Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of any
prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a LIBOR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not
later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice
of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.8, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in
accordance with Section 2.8. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment


  
 39 







 
of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.2. Each prepayment of a
Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12 and compensation for break funding, to the
extent required by Section 2.15. 
 SECTION 2.11    Fees. 

(a)    Subject to Section 2.20, Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender on a pro rata basis (based on Commitments) a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”), which Facility Fee shall accrue at the Facility Fee Rate on the daily amount of the Commitments (whether used or unused) during
the Fee Payment Period; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Credit Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Credit Exposure from and
including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Credit Exposure. Accrued Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears on the third (3rd) Business Day of, April, July, October and
January of each year, as applicable, and on the Maturity Date, commencing on the first (1st) such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that any Facility Fees accruing as of the
date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first (1st) day but excluding the last day) and shall be payable in US Dollars. 

(b)    The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commission with
respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Margin then in effect on the Dollar Equivalent of face amount of each such Letter of Credit during the Fee Payment Period, and (ii) to any
Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank on the Dollar Equivalent of its LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed
LC Disbursements) during the Fee Payment Period, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued participation fees
and fronting fees shall be payable in arrears on the third (3rd) Business Day of April, July, October, and January of each year, as applicable, and on the Maturity Date, commencing on the first (1st) such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which
the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. For the purposes of the foregoing calculations, the Dollar Equivalent amount shall be calculated on the first Business Day of each calendar month of the related Fee Payment Period using the
applicable Exchange Rate for each such non-US Dollar currency in effect as of the close of business on the last Business Day of the immediately preceding calendar month or by such other method that the
Administrative Agent and Apache may agree; provided that, in connection with any Letter of Credit newly issued in a non-US Dollar currency, the Dollar Equivalent amount of such newly issued Letter of
Credit until the end of the calendar month in which such Letter of Credit was issued shall be determined using the Exchange Rate for such non-US Dollar currency in effect as of the close of business on the
Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance of such 

  
 40 







 
Letter of Credit. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first (1st) day but excluding the last day). All Letter of Credit Fees shall
be payable in US Dollars. 
 (c)    Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees
payable in the amounts, in US Dollars and at the times separately agreed upon between Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

(d)    All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative
Agent (or to any Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Facility Fees and commissions pursuant to Section 2.11(c), to the Lenders. Any and all fees paid shall not be refundable
under any circumstances. 
 SECTION 2.12    Interest. 

(a)    The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest on the daily amount outstanding at the Alternate Base
Rate plus the Base Rate Margin. 
 (b)    The Loans comprising each LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest on the daily
amount outstanding at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the LIBOR Margin. 

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by
Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of
any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, or (ii) in the case of any other amount denominated in US Dollars, at a rate of interest per annum equal to 2% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Loans as provided in Section 2.12(a). 
 (d)    Accrued interest on each
Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Loans on the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be payable on
demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion, and (iv) with respect to any Declining Lender, accrued interest shall be paid upon the
termination of the Commitment of such Lender. 
 (e)    Subject to Section 10.12, all interest
hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365
days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first (1st) day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base
Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 41 







 SECTION 2.13    Alternate Rate of Interest. 

(a)    If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing: 

(i)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error)
that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including, without limitation, because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for the
applicable currency and such Interest Period; or 
 (ii)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the
Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such
Borrowing for such Interest Period; or 
 (iii)    the Administrative Agent determines in good faith
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank dollar market generally, deposits in Dollars in the London interbank dollar market are not being offered for the applicable
Interest Period and in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loan requested by Borrower; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to
the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,
(A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBOR Borrowing, such Borrowing
shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. 

(b)    If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error)
that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO
Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the
United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes
shall not include a reduction of the applicable rate); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be 

  
 42 







 
less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.2, such amendment shall
become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is
provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the
circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.13(b), only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for the applicable currency and such Interest Period is not available or published at such
time on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing shall be ineffective and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBOR
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. 

SECTION 2.14    Increased Costs. 

(a)    If any Change in Law shall: 

(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any
compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing
Bank; or 
 (ii)    impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or 

(iii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, and (B) Excluded
Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting or maintaining
any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.  

(b)    If any Lender or any Issuing Bank reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement or the Loans made 

  
 43 







 
by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such
Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing
Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c)    A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (together with the calculation thereof) shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent demonstrable
error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased
costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such
Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to
above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 SECTION 2.15    Break Funding
Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan other than
on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under
Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.18 then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a LIBOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to
include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been
applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period
for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a
comparable amount and period from other banks in the LIBOR market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive, together with the calculation thereof, 

  
 44 







 
pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and to the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION
2.16    Taxes. 
 (a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account
of any obligation of Borrower hereunder shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent)
requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made
(including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. In addition,
Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b)    Payments of Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing
Bank, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on
account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto (other than any such penalties or interest arising through the failure of the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank to act as a reasonably prudent agent or lender, respectively), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. 
 (c)    Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy
of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(d)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten
(10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the
obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.4(g) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any


  
 45 







 
Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent
under this paragraph (e). 
 (e)    Status of Lenders. 

(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Apache and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Apache or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by
Apache or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Apache or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Apache or the Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 2.16(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

 (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Apache and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which
such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such
Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally
entitled to do so, deliver to Apache and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter 

  
 46 







 
upon the reasonable request of Apache or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party
(x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (2) in the case of a Foreign Lender
claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of
the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a
“10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (y) an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN; or 

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed copy of IRS Form
W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are
claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Apache and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Apache or the
Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit Apache or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

  
 47 







 (D) if a payment made to a Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank
under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender, Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in
Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender, Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall deliver to Apache and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested
by Apache or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Apache or the Administrative Agent
as may be necessary for Apache and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender, Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank has complied with the obligations of such Lender, Administrative Agent
or Issuing Bank under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it
shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Apache and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(f)    Additional United Kingdom Withholding Tax Matters. 

(i)    Subject to (ii) below, each Lender and each UK Borrower which makes a payment to such Lender
shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make such payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom. 

(ii)    (A) A Lender on the Effective Date that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport
scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and 

(B) A Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the day on which this Agreement closes that (x) holds a passport under
the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and 

(C) Upon satisfying either clause (A) or (B) above, such Lender shall have satisfied its obligation under paragraph (f)(i)
above. 
 (iii)    If (A) a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of
tax residence in accordance with paragraph (f)(ii) above and (B) a Loan has been made to such UK Borrower under this Agreement, the UK Borrower(s) shall 

  
 48 







 
make a Borrower DTTP Filing with respect to such Lender, and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of such filing; provided that, if: 

(A) each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender; or 

(B) each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but: 

(1) such Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or 

(2) HM Revenue & Customs has not given such UK Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a deduction
for tax within 60 days of the date of such Borrower DTTP Filing; 
 and in each case, such UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing of
either (1) or (2) above, then such Lender and such UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that
payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom. 

(iv)    If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in
accordance with paragraph (f)(ii) above, no UK Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless
the Lender otherwise agrees. 
 (v)    Each UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP Filing,
deliver a copy of such Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender. 

(vi)    Each Lender shall notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent if it determines in its sole
discretion that it is ceases to be entitled to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United Kingdom is a party with respect to payments made by any U.K. Borrower hereunder. 

(g)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that
it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been paid pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the
paying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of payments made under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such paying party, upon the
request of such party, shall repay to such party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such party is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this 

  
 49 







 
paragraph (g), in no event will such party be required to pay any amount to a paying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place such party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such party would have been in if the Tax subject to payment and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the payments or additional amounts with
respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any such party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the paying party or any other
Person. 
 (h)    Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term
“Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 
 SECTION
2.17    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 

(a)    Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and, with respect to reimbursement of LC Disbursements, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York
City time, in each case, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent, c/o Loan & Agency Services
Group, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 500 Stanton Christiana Rd., NCC5, Floor 1, Newark, DE 19713, Attention: Rea N. Seth, telephone no.: 302-634-1867, facsimile no.: 302-634-1417, Email: Rea.n.seth@jpmorgan.com and Group mailbox: 12012443630@tls.ldsprod.com, except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Bank as expressly
provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account
of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the
case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in US Dollars. 

(b)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all
amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance
with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. If insufficient funds are received due to Borrower’s entitlement to withhold amounts on account of Excluded Taxes in relation to a particular Lender, such insufficiency shall
not be subject to this Section 2.17(b) but shall be withheld from and shall only affect payments made to such Lender. 

(c)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater 

  
 50 







 
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving
such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in the LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders
ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any
payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC
Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively
do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d)    Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if
Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment
required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(e) or (f), Section 2.05(b), Section 2.17(d) or Section 10.3(c), the Agreement, then the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under
such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any
future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. 

(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Defaulting Lender shall have
failed to fund a Loan forming any portion of a Borrowing (each such Loan, an “Affected Loan”), (i) each payment by Borrower on account of the interest on 

  
 51 







 
such Borrowing shall be distributed to each Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender (each, a “Non-Defaulting Lender”) pro rata based on the
outstanding principal amount of such Borrowing owing to all Non-Defaulting Lenders, and (ii) each prepayment of a Borrowing by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be
distributed (x) to each Non-Defaulting Lender pro rata based on the outstanding principal amount of such Borrowing owing to all Non-Defaulting Lenders, until the
principal amount of such Borrowing (other than the Affected Loans) has been repaid in full and (y) to the extent of any remaining amount of such prepayment relating to such Borrowing, to each Lender which has amounts outstanding with respect to
such Borrowing pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s Applicable Percentage. 
 SECTION 2.18    Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
 (a)    If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.14, or if Borrower is required to pay any amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if Borrower is required to pay
any amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or if any Issuing Bank defaults in its
obligation to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender hereunder, then Borrower may upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse or expense
to, or warranty by, such Lender (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.4), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to
Section 2.14 and 2.16) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee designated by Borrower which meets the requirements of Section 10.4(b) that shall assume such obligations (which
assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if participations in Letters of Credit are being assigned,
the applicable Issuing Banks), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) the assignee and assignor shall
have entered into an Assignment and Assumption, and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender
or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees 

  
 52 







 
that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the
extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a
party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment
agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto. Borrower hereby
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any assigning Lender in connection with any such assignment. 
 SECTION
2.19    Currency Conversion/Valuation and Currency Indemnity. 
 (a)    Payments in
Agreed Currency. Borrower shall make payment relative to any Obligation in the same currency in which the Obligation was effected (the “Agreed Currency”). If any payment is received on account of any Obligation in any currency
(the “Other Currency”) other than the Agreed Currency (whether voluntarily or pursuant to an order or judgment or the enforcement thereof or the realization of any security or the liquidation of Borrower or otherwise howsoever),
such payment shall constitute a discharge of the liability of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of such obligation only to the extent of the amount of the Agreed Currency which the relevant Lender or Agent, as the case
may be, is able to purchase with the amount of the Other Currency received by it on the Business Day immediately preceding such receipt in accordance with its normal procedures and after deducting any premium and costs of exchange. 

(b)    Conversion/Valuation into Agreed Currency. If for any purpose it becomes necessary to convert or value an
amount in a particular currency (the “Non-Agreed Currency”) into, or in an amount of, an Agreed Currency or US Dollars, then the conversion or valuation shall be determined using the Dollar
Equivalent of such amount and in any event Borrower shall be obligated to pay the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders any deficiency in accordance with Section 2.19(c). 

(c)    Circumstances Giving Rise to Indemnity. If (i) any Lender, Issuing Bank or any Agent receives any
payment or payments on account of any obligation or liability of Borrower hereunder in any Other Currency, and (ii) the amount of the Agreed Currency which the relevant Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent, as applicable, receives from the proceeds of
such payment or payments in accordance with its normal procedures and after deducting any premiums and costs of exchange is less than the amount of the Agreed Currency due in respect of such obligation or liability, then Borrower on demand shall,
and Borrower hereby agrees to, indemnify and save the Lenders, Issuing Banks and the Agents harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense arising out of or in connection with such deficiency. 

(d)    Indemnity Separate Obligation. The agreement of indemnity provided for in
Section 2.19(c) shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from all other obligations contained in this Agreement, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any
indulgence granted by the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Agents or any of them from time to time, and shall continue in full force and effect under any and all circumstances. 

  
 53 







 SECTION 2.20    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(a)    Fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 2.11. 
 (b)    Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by
the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8.4 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 10.8 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent
hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder; third, to cash collateralize any Issuing Banks’ LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance
with this Section; fourth, as Apache may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as
determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Apache, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding
obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize any Issuing Banks’ future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in
accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Lender
as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result
of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; and eighth, to
such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has
not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be
applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such
Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments
without giving effect to clause (d) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this
Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

  
 54 







 (c)    The Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not
be included (in either the calculation of aggregate Commitments, outstanding Obligations or otherwise) in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other
modification pursuant to Section 10.2); provided, that this clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such
Lender as a Lender affected thereby pursuant to Section 10.2(b). 
 (d)    If any LC Exposure
exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i)    all or any part of such LC
Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (for the purposes of such reallocation the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall be
disregarded in determining the Non-Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage) but only to the extent (x) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit
Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the sum of each
Non-Defaulting Lender’s Credit Exposure plus its reallocated share of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s
Commitment; 
 (ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

 (iii)    if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure
pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such
Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 
 (iv)    if the LC Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.20, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be adjusted in accordance
with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and 

(v)    if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated not cash
collateralized pursuant to this Section 2.20(d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting
Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and Letter of Credit Fees with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable
Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and 

  
 55 







 (e)    So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be
required to issue, amend, extend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20, and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of
Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.4(d) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein). 

(f)    Borrower may elect to replace any Defaulting Lender in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.18(b). In the event that the Administrative Agent, Borrower and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the
Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date, if necessary as a result of a Loan funding pursuant to Section 2.4(h), such Lender shall
purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 

SECTION 2.21    Additional Borrowers.  

(a)    A Person which is a Subsidiary which is organized under the laws of, a resident of, or domiciled in, any of the
United States, Canada, England and Wales or the United Kingdom or the Cayman Islands may become an Additional Borrower with respect hereto, and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits and obligations of this Agreement as a Borrower hereunder

(iii)    No Default. No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

(iv)    Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties in Article III

(v)    Additional Borrower Counterpart. Such Person shall execute an Additional Borrower Counterpart
to this Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit E (the “Additional Borrower Counterpart”) or such other agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 56 







 (vi)    Opinions of Counsel. The Administrative Agent

(ix)    Notice. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have received prior written notice
from an Authorized Officer of Apache of an Additional Borrower becoming party to this Agreement at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date selected for such Additional Borrower to become party to this Agreement; provided,

 (x)    Guaranty. The
Administrative Agent shall have received an executed Guaranty from Apache. 
 (b)    Upon fulfillment of the conditions

(c)    In the event that any Additional Borrower determines that it no longer desires to be a Borrower under this
Agreement and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Additional Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Additional Borrower Termination Notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit F (the
“Additional Borrower Termination Notice”), executed by such Additional Borrower and Apache. Within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the Administrative Agent’s consent to the removal of such Additional Borrower,

SECTION 2.22    Increase in Commitments.  

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Apache shall have the right to cause from time to time an
increase in the Commitments of the Lenders by up to US$1,000,000,000 in the aggregate (a “Commitment Increase”) by adding to this Agreement one or more additional financial institutions that are not already Lenders hereunder and
that are consented to by the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or by allowing one or more existing Lenders to increase their respective Commitments (each a “CI Lender”);
provided, however that (i) at the time of, and after giving effect to, the Commitment Increase, no Event of Default shall have occurred which is continuing, (ii) no such Commitment Increase shall cause the total amount of the
Commitments to exceed US$5,000,000,000, (iii) no Lender’s Commitment or Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment shall be increased without such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s, as applicable, prior written consent (which
consent may be given or withheld in such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s sole and absolute discretion), (iv) if, on the effective date of such increase, any Loans have been funded, then Borrower shall be obligated to pay any breakage fees
or costs in connection with the reallocation of such outstanding Loans, and (v) each CI Lender shall execute a Notice of Commitment Increase and deliver such executed notice to the Administrative Agent. 

(b)    Any Commitment Increase must be requested by written notice from Apache to the Administrative Agent (a
“Notice of Commitment Increase”) in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto. Once the Notice of Commitment Increase is fully-executed, such notice and such Commitment Increase shall be effective on the proposed effective date
set forth in such notice (not less than five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent) or on another date agreed to by the Administrative Agent and Apache (such date referred to as the “Commitment Increase Effective
Date”). 
 (c)    On each Commitment Increase Effective Date, to the extent that there are Loans outstanding as
of such date, (i) each CI Lender shall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, deliver to the Administrative Agent such CI Lender’s New Funds Amount, which amount, for each such CI Lender, shall constitute Loans made by such CI
Lender to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement on such Commitment Increase Effective Date, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pay to each then Reducing Percentage Lender its Reduction Amount,
which amount, for each such Reducing Percentage Lender, shall constitute a prepayment by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10, ratably in accordance with the respective principal amounts thereof, of the principal amounts of
all then outstanding Loans of such Reducing Percentage Lender, and (iii) Borrower shall be responsible to pay to each Lender any breakage fees or costs in connection with the reallocation of any outstanding Loans. 

  
 58 







 (d)    Each Commitment Increase shall become effective on its Commitment
Increase Effective Date and upon such effectiveness (i) the Administrative Agent shall record in its records the CI Lender’s information as provided in the Notice of Commitment Increase and pursuant to an Administrative Questionnaire in
form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that shall be executed and delivered by each CI Lender to the Administrative Agent on or before the Commitment Increase Effective Date, (ii) Schedule 2.1 hereof shall be amended and restated
to set forth all Lenders (including any CI Lenders) that will be Lenders hereunder after giving effect to such Commitment Increase (which shall be set forth in Annex I to the applicable Notice of Commitment Increase) and the Administrative Agent
shall distribute to each Lender (including each CI Lender) a copy of such amended and restated Schedule 2.1, and (iii) each CI Lender identified on the Notice of Commitment Increase for such Commitment Increase shall be a
“Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE III 

Representations and Warranties 

In order to induce the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agents to enter into this Agreement, the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the
Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, Borrower represents and warrants unto the Agents, each Issuing Bank, and each Lender as set forth in this Article III. 

SECTION 3.1    Organization. Apache is a corporation, and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation or other legal
entity, in either case duly incorporated or otherwise properly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite authority, permits and approvals, and is in
good standing to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted where the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 3.2    Authorization and Validity. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of each Loan
Document executed or to be executed by it, are within Borrower’s corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other similar powers, as applicable, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company,
partnership or other similar action on behalf of it, and do not (a) contravene Borrower’s certificate of incorporation or other organizational documents, as the case may be; (b) contravene any material contractual restriction, law or
governmental regulation or court decree or order binding on or affecting Borrower or any Subsidiary; or (c) result in, or require the creation or imposition of, any Lien, not permitted by Section 7.1, on any of
Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s properties. Each Loan Document executed by Borrower will, on the due execution and delivery thereof, constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable in accordance with their

 SECTION 3.3    Government Approval and Regulation. No
authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or other Person is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by Borrower of any Loan Document to which it is a

lien under Section 302(f) of ERISA. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan which would result in the incurrence by Borrower or any member of the Controlled Group of any liability, fine or
penalty in excess of $150,000,000. Neither Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement benefit under a Welfare Plan, other than liability for continuation coverage described in
Part 6 of Title I of ERISA. 
 SECTION 3.5    Regulation U. Borrower is not engaged in the business of
extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, and no proceeds of any Loan or LC Disbursement will be used for a purpose which violates, or would be inconsistent with, Regulation U. Terms for which meanings are provided in
Regulations U are used in this Section with such meanings. 
 SECTION 3.6    Taxes. Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries has to the best knowledge of Borrower after due investigation filed all tax returns and reports required by law to have been filed by it and has paid all taxes and governmental charges thereby shown to be owing, except any such taxes or
charges which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books or which the failure to file or pay could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.7    Subsidiaries; Restricted Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.7 hereto contains an
accurate list of all of the presently existing Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, Restricted Subsidiaries, as of the date of this Agreement, setting forth their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or organization and the percentage
of their respective capital stock or, the revenue share attributable to the general and limited partnership interests, as the case may be, owned by Apache or its Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of such
Subsidiaries which are corporations have been duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. 

SECTION 3.8    No Default or Event of Default. As of the Effective Date, no Default or Event of Default exists.

 SECTION 3.9    Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies

 60 







 
capacity as such) with applicable Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions in all material
respects. None of (i) Borrower or any Subsidiary, (ii) any director or officer of Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iii) to the knowledge of Borrower, any employee or agent of Borrower or any Subsidiary (in each case, acting in their
capacity as such), is a Sanctioned Person. No Borrowing, issuance of letters of credit, use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will violate any Anti-Corruption Law or applicable Sanctions.

Apache, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments and the Letter of Credit Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments and the Letter of Credit Commitments shall terminate
immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans and LC Disbursements then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and
thereupon (a) the principal of the Loans and LC Disbursements so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable
immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower, and (b) Borrower shall cash collateralize the LC Exposure as required in Section 2.4(i).
Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall be entitled to exercise any and all other remedies available to them under the Loan Documents and applicable law. 

SECTION 8.4    Application of Payments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, following the
acceleration of the Obligations after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and notice thereof to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or the Required Lenders, all payments received on account of the Obligations
shall, subject to Section 2.20, be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows: 

(i)    first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses
and other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent (including fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent payable under Section 10.3 and amounts pursuant to
Section 2.11(c) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such); 

(ii)    second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, expenses,

counsel to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks payable under Section 10.3) arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (ii) payable to them; 

(iii)    third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter
of Credit fees and charges and interest on the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iii) payable to them; 

  
 71 







 (iv)    fourth, (A) to payment of that portion of
the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements and (B) to cash collateralize that portion of LC Exposure comprising the undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise cash
collateralized by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.20, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iv) payable to them;
provided that (x) any such amounts applied pursuant to subclause (B) above shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the applicable Issuing Banks to cash collateralize Obligations in respect of Letters of
Credit, (y) subject to Section 2.4 or 2.20, amounts used to cash collateralize the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be used to satisfy drawings under such
Letters of Credit as they occur and (z) upon the expiration of any Letter of Credit (without any pending drawings), the pro rata share of cash collateral shall be distributed to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth in this
Section 8.4; 
 (v)    fifth, to the payment in full of all other
Obligations, in each case ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to them in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and
payable; and 
 (vi)    finally, the balance, if any, after all Obligations have been indefeasibly
paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law. 
 If any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral after all Letters of Credit have
either been fully drawn or expired (without any pending drawings), such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above, subject to Section 2.4(i). 

ARTICLE IX 
 Agents 

SECTION 9.1    Authorization and Action. 

(a)    Each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan as Administrative Agent, Bank
of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, Citibank, N.A., Royal Bank of Canada, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, The Toronto-Dominion Bank, New
York Branch, and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as Co-Documentation Agents and authorizes each such Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms
hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations
under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents. 

(b)    As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or
collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required 

  
 72 







 
to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written
instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each
Lender and each Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative
Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in
violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of
any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of
any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be
liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

(c)    In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is
acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing: 
 (i)    the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall
not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Issuing Bank or holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to
the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create
or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent
in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and 

  
 73 







 (ii)    nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall
require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account; 

(d)    The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any
other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of
their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent
acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent. 

(e)    None of the Persons identified on the facing page of this Agreement as the
“Co-Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners” (the “Arrangers”), the Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent or any Arranger shall have
obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for
hereunder. 
 (f)    In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Borrower under any Federal, state or
foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or other Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(i)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in
respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent
(including any claim under Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.16 and 10.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

(ii)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and
to distribute the same as required by this Agreement; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders
or the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 10.3). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed


  
 74 







 
to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding. 

(g)    The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing
Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any
rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Lender and Issuing Bank, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this
Article. 
 SECTION 9.2    Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Indemnification, Etc. 

(a)    Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (x) with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as
the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless
otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower or any
officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. 

(b)    The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice
thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or
any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent
shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrower, any Subsidiary, any 

  
 75 







 
Lender or any Issuing Bank as a result of, any determination of the Credit Exposure or Obligations, any of the component amounts thereof or any portion thereof attributable to each Lender or
Issuing Bank, or any Dollar Equivalent. 
 (c)    Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may
treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 10.4, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in
Section 10.4(b), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken
in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or Issuing Bank and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for any statements,
warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Borrower in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of
Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary
from such Lender or Issuing Bank sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof). 

SECTION 9.3    Communications. 

(a)    No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks in
connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any Affiliates
for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Administrative Agent’s transmission of
communications through the Platform. 
 (b)    Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided
in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees (i) to notify
the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic
transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address. 

  
 76 







 (c)    Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Borrower agrees
that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention
procedures and policies; provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right at any time, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, to restrict storage of any Communications on the Platform. 

(d)    Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to give any
notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document. 
 SECTION
9.4    The Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Commitment, Loans, Letter of Credit Commitments and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the
same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The terms “Issuing Banks”, “Lenders”,
“Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, Issuing Bank or as one of the Required Lenders, as applicable. The
Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other
business with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks. 

SECTION 9.5    Successor Administrative Agent. 

(a)    The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders,
the Issuing Banks and the Borrower, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, Apache shall have the right, in consultation with the Required Lenders, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.
If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may,
on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior
written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor
Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a
successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. In the event no successor
Administrative 

  
 77 







 
Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring
Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower as of the date of its resignation. 

(b)    If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition
thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent. Upon such occurrence, Apache shall have the right, in consultation with
the Required Lenders, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective
Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. 

(c)    Upon the retirement or removal of the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section,
on the date of effectiveness of such resignation or removal, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; and (ii) the Required Lenders shall
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative
Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly
be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.3, as well
as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 9.6    Acknowledgements of Lenders and Issuing Banks. 

(a)    Each Lender and Issuing Bank represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the
ordinary course of its business and that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which
may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make
its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

  
 78 







 (b)    Each Lender and Issuing Bank, by delivering its signature page to this
Agreement on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and
consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date. 

SECTION 9.7    Certain ERISA Matters. 

(a)    Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and
(y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the
avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

 (iii)    (A) such Lender is
an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on
behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the

84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s
entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, the Letter of Credit Commitments and this Agreement, or 

(iv)    such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. 

  
 79 







 (b)    In addition, unless sub-clause
(i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the

 (iii)    if to any other Lender or Issuing Bank, to it at its address (or telecopy number)
provided to the Administrative Agent and Borrower or as set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire. 
 Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service,
or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be
deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through Platforms, to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b). 

  
 82 







 (b)    Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks
hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Platforms pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures
approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 

(c)    Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications to the Lenders or Issuing Banks posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the
intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that,
for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the
next business day for the recipient. 
 (d)    Platform. Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but
shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, IntraLinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the
“Platform”). “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions
contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform. 

(e)    Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice
to the other parties hereto. 
 SECTION 10.2    Waivers; Amendments. 

(a)    No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective except in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at
the time. 

  
 83 







 (b)    Subject to Section 2.13(b) and
Section 10.2(c) below. neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by
Borrower and the Required Lenders or by Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender or the Commitments without the written
consent of such Lender or each Lender, respectively, or increase the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank without the written consent of such Issuing Bank, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the
rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest
thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change
Sections 2.17(b) or (c) or the last sentence of Section 2.8(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or the pro rata reduction in Commitments required thereby, without the written
consent of each Lender, (v) release any Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender, or (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof or
thereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided
further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder or the Issuing Banks hereunder or under Section 2.4, without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Banks, as the case may be; provided further, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may only be amended by the Issuing Bank which issued such Letter of Credit; provided further
that in the event that any Additional Borrower elects to terminate its status as an Additional Borrower under this Agreement and delivers a properly executed Borrower Termination Notice pursuant to Section 2.21(c), such
termination and release of such Additional Borrower from its Obligations under this Agreement shall require only the consent of the Administrative Agent. 

(c)    if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake,
typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission,
mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective, upon notice to the Lenders, without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. 

SECTION 10.3    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a)    Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Arrangers and the Agents, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agents, in connection with
the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of any 

  
 84 







 
Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Agents, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this
Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder and documentary Taxes, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans, Letters of Credit or this Agreement. 

(b)    Borrower shall indemnify the Agents, the Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, and each Lender, and each Related Party of
any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), WHETHER OR NOT RELATED TO ANY NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE, against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution
or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby,
including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.19, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment
under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or whereby such refusal to honor is due to a restriction imposed by any law or regulation of a
Governmental Authority or an injunction or other order issued by a court, in each case having jurisdiction over Issuing Bank in force at time and place of presentment), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on
or from any property owned or operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether brought by a third party or by Borrower and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (ii) arise in
connection with any issue in litigation commenced by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against any Indemnitee for which a final judgment is entered in favor of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against such Indemnitee. 

(c)    Each Lender severally agrees to pay any amount required to be paid by the Borrower under paragraph (a) or (b)
of this Section 10.3 to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and
without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Applicable Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon
which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Applicable Percentage immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted 

  
 85 







 
against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or
therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent
Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

(d)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against
any Indemnitee, and (ii) Agents and Lenders shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against Borrower, in each case on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, any Loan Document), the Transactions or any Loan or any Letter of Credit or the use of
the proceeds thereof, except for any such claim arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or Borrower, as applicable; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this sentence shall limit
Borrower’s indemnity obligations with respect to claims asserted by Persons (other than the Agents and the Lenders) to the extent set forth in this Section 10.3. 

(e)    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor. 

SECTION 10.4    Successors and Assigns. 

(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender or Issuing Bank may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder
except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate
of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b)    Subject to Section 2.4(j), any Lender may assign to
one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, participations in Letters of Credit and the Loans at the time owing to it);
provided that (i) Apache must give its prior written consent to such assignment, provided that, except as to consents covered by Section 2.4(j), (1) Apache shall not


  
 86 







 
unreasonably withhold or delay its consent and (2) Apache shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative
Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof (A) pursuant to Section 10.1 and (B) by electronic mail to cash.mgmt@apachecorp.com, creditagreement@apachecorp.com and
such other e-mail contacts that Apache notifies the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time pursuant to Section 10.1; (ii) the Administrative Agent and the applicable
Issuing Banks must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall be in increments of US$1,000,000 and not less than US$10,000,000 unless each of Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iv) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, an
agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, together with a processing and recordation fee of
US$3,500, and (vi) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and provided further that in no event shall any assignment or delegation be made by any
Issuing Bank in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit without Borrower’s prior written consent in its sole and absolute discretion; and provided further that any consent of Apache otherwise required under this paragraph
shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.1 has occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.4, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.3).
Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations
in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. 
 (c)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an
agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and
principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

  
 87 







 (d)    Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and
Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the
Assignment and Assumption are participants, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section
and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register and will provide prompt
written notice to Borrower of the effectiveness of such Assignment; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.4(e) or (f), Section 2.5(b), Section 2.17(d) or Section 10.3(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept
such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement
unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (e)    Any Lender may, without the consent
of Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) if such Participant is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, such Lender shall have given notice to Borrower of the name of the Participant and the amount of such
participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the
first proviso to Section 10.2(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section and to Section 2.18(b), Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.8 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender. 

(f)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14, 2.15 or
2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless Borrower shall expressly agree otherwise in writing. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it
were a Lender shall not be entitled to 

  
 88 







 
the benefits of Section 2.16 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to
comply with Section 2.16(d) as though it were a Lender. 
 (g)    Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of, but with no fiduciary duties to, Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to
any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure
is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 

(h)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank or, in the case of a Lender organized in a jurisdiction outside of the United States, a comparable Person, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of
a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(i)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no assignments or participations shall be made to any Borrower or
any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries, any Defaulting Lender or its Lender Parent or to any natural person, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause.

 SECTION 10.5    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower herein
and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.4, 2.14,
2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.3 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or
termination of the Letters of Credit, the Letter of Credit Commitments and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

  
 89 







 SECTION 10.6    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic
Execution. 
 (a)    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to (i) fees payable to
the Agents or Issuing Banks and (ii) the reductions of the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. 
 (b)    Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement
by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic
Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping
system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar
state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent. 

SECTION 10.7    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION
10.8    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Obligations of Borrower shall have been accelerated, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any
Borrower against any of and all the obligations of each Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such
obligations may be unmatured. Any Lender exercising its right of setoff pursuant to this Section 10.8 shall provide prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of such setoff, the amount of such
setoff and any other material details of such setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

 SECTION 10.9    GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF
PROCESS. 
 (a)    EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10.9(a), THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. LETTERS OF CREDIT ISSUED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR THE LAW
SPECIFIED IN THE PRE-APPROVED LC FORMS AND EITHER THE “INTERNATIONAL STANDBY PRACTICES 1998” (“ISP 98”) PUBLISHED BY THE INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL BANKING LAW & PRACTICE, INC. OR

 (b)    BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN
SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE
JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE AGENTS, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS
PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 
 (c)    BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN THE FIRST
SENTENCE OF PARAGRAPH (b) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

 (d)    EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID,
OR BY 

  
 91 







 
PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

 (e)    Each Additional Borrower designates, appoints and empowers Apache as its designee, appointee and agent to
receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, service for any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any action, suit or proceeding brought in the courts listed in Section 10.9
which may be made on such designee, appointee and agent in accordance with legal procedures prescribed for such courts, with respect to any suit, action or proceeding in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 SECTION 10.10    Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 10.11    Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees, agents (acting in their capacity as such),
advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent
requested by any regulatory or self-regulatory authority reasonably purporting to have jurisdiction over it, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party
to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or
thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement or (ii) any rating agency to the extent required by it or (iii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization to the extent required by it in connection with this Agreement, (g) with the consent of
Borrower, or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section by any Person or (y) becomes available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any of their
respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. Prior to disclosing any Information under clause (c) above, the Agent, the Issuing Bank or Lender required to make such disclosure shall make a good faith
effort to give Borrower prior notice of such proposed disclosure to permit Borrower to attempt to obtain a protective order or other appropriate injunctive relief. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information
received from Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information
is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 SECTION 10.12    Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the
parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable interest, usury and criminal laws and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Borrower to a Lender or any Agent under this Agreement shall be subject to the limitation
that payments of interest shall not be required to the extent that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to such Lender or Agent limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by such Lender or Agent.
Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be illegal, unenforceable, usurious or criminal under laws applicable to a Lender or Agent (including the laws of any jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender or
Agent notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document but subject to Section 2.12 hereof) then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, it is agreed as follows: 
 (i)    the provisions of this Section shall govern and
control; 
 (ii)    the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law
that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under this Agreement, or under any of the other aforesaid agreements or otherwise in connection with this Agreement by such Lender or Agent shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum
amount of interest allowed by applicable law (such maximum lawful interest rate, if any, with respect to each Lender and the Agent herein called the “Highest Lawful Rate”), and any excess shall be cancelled automatically and if
theretofore paid shall be credited to Borrower by such Lender or Agent (or, if such consideration shall have been paid in full, such excess refunded to Borrower); 

(iii)    all sums paid, or agreed to be paid, to such Lender or Agent for the use, forbearance and
detention of the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender or Agent hereunder or under any Loan Document shall, to the extent permitted by laws applicable to such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread
throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform throughout the full term thereof; 

(iv)    if at any time the interest provided pursuant to this Section or any other clause of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, together with any other fees or compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and deemed interest under laws applicable to such Lender or Agent, exceeds that amount which would have accrued at
the Highest Lawful Rate, the amount of interest and any such fees or compensation to accrue to such Lender or Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
to that amount which would have accrued at the Highest Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions, as applicable, shall not reduce the interest to accrue to such Lender or Agent pursuant to this Agreement below the Highest Lawful Rate until the
total amount of interest accrued pursuant to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, and such fees or compensation deemed to be interest 

  
 93 







 
equals the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender or Agent if a varying rate per annum equal to the interest provided pursuant to any other relevant Section hereof (other than
this Section), as applicable, had at all times been in effect, plus the amount of fees which would have been received but for the effect of this Section; and 

(v)    with the intent that the rate of interest herein shall at all times be lawful, and if the receipt of
any funds owing hereunder or under any other agreement related hereto (including any of the other Loan Documents) by such Lender or Agent would cause such Lender to charge Borrower a criminal rate of interest, the Lenders and the Agents agree that
they will not require the payment or receipt thereof or a portion thereof which would cause a criminal rate of interest to be charged by such Lender or Agent, as applicable, and if received such affected Lender or Agent will return such funds to
Borrower so that the rate of interest paid by Borrower shall not exceed a criminal rate of interest from the date this Agreement was entered into. 

SECTION 10.13    Joint and Several Obligations. Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest and in
pursuance of its legitimate business purposes to induce the Lenders to extend credit to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement. Each Borrower acknowledges and represents that the availability of the Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments to each
of Borrowers benefits each Borrower individually and that the Loans and Letters of Credit made will be for and inure to the benefit of each of Borrowers individually and as a group. Accordingly, Apache shall be liable (as a principal and not as a
surety, guarantor or other accommodation party) for each and every representation, warranty, covenant and obligation to be performed by Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Apache acknowledges that in extending the credit
provided herein the Agents and the Lenders are relying upon the fact that the Obligations of each Borrower hereunder are the obligations of Apache. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Borrower, other than
Apache, shall be severally, and not jointly, liable for all Obligations incurred by such Borrower under this Agreement. The invalidity, unenforceability or illegality of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as to one Borrower or the release by
the Agents or the Lenders of a Borrower hereunder or thereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the other Borrowers under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all of which shall otherwise remain valid and legally binding obligations of
the other Borrowers. 
 SECTION 10.14    USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and Issuing Bank that is subject to
the USA Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank) hereby notifies each Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Borrower in accordance with
the USA Patriot Act. 
 SECTION 10.15    NO FIDUCIARY DUTY. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates
(collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of Borrower and/or its Affiliates. Each Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents will be deemed to
create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Borrower 

  
 94 







 
or its Affiliates, on the other. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies thereunder)
are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other, and (ii) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, (x) no
Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Borrower or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) (irrespective of whether any
Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Borrower or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Agent and Lender is
acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Borrower or its Affiliates. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is
responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. 
 SECTION
10.16    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement,
arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution
Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 
 (a)    the application of any
Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 

(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if
applicable: 
 (i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership
in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to
any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii)    the variation of the
terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 
 SECTION
10.17    NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.
