Agreement would have matured pursuant to its terms on or prior to the scheduled effective date of the next Scheduled Redetermination or (z) upon its termination, it is replaced, in a substantially contemporaneous transaction, with one or more
Swap Agreements with approximately the same mark-to-market value and without net cash payments to any Loan Party (taking into consideration any cash payments by any Loan
Party) in connection therewith (excluding for purposes of this clause (z) any Swap Agreement that pursuant to its terms would have matured on or prior to the scheduled effective date of the next Scheduled Redetermination). Such decrease in the

the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, (i) each Lender (including each New Lender) who holds Loans in an aggregate amount less than its Applicable Percentage (after giving effect to this Fourth Amendment) of all Loans shall advance new Loans
which shall be disbursed to the Administrative Agent and used to repay Loans outstanding to each Lender who holds Loans in an aggregate amount greater than its Applicable Percentage of all Loans, (ii) each Lender’s participation in each
Letter of Credit, if any, shall be automatically adjusted to equal its Applicable Percentage (after giving effect to this Fourth Amendment) and (iii) such other adjustments shall be made as the Administrative Agent shall specify so that the

waives any break-funding payments otherwise payable under Section 5.02 in connection with the repayment of any Loans in accordance with this Section 2.7. 

Section 3.        North Louisiana Property Sale Date Amendments to Credit
Agreement. In reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Fourth Amendment, the Credit Agreement shall be further amended effective as of the North Louisiana

 3.1        Amendments to Section 1.02. 

(a)         The following definitions are hereby amended and restated as follows: 

“Consolidated EBITDAX” means, with respect to the Borrower and the Consolidated Restricted
Subsidiaries, for any period, Consolidated Net Income for such period plus, without duplication and to the extent reflected as a charge in the statement of such Consolidated Net Income for such period, the sum of (a) interest expense
(including realized and unrealized losses on interest rate derivative contracts); (b) income tax expense; (c) depreciation, depletion and amortization expense; (d) impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets (including Oil and Gas
Properties); (e) accretion of asset retirement obligations; (f) unrealized losses on commodity derivative contracts; (g) realized losses upon the early termination or other monetization of commodity derivative contracts; (h) losses on
sale of assets; (i) noncash unit-based compensation expenses; (j) exploration costs; (k) brokers’ or finders’ fees, and other fees, in connection with acquisitions of Oil and Gas Properties permitted hereunder, and
(l) fees and expenses expensed and paid in cash in connection with the issuance of Debt and the issuance of Equity Interests, including fees and expenses expensed and paid in cash in connection with any registered offering of Equity Interests
in the Borrower, including the Borrower IPO; minus, without duplication and to the extent included in the statement of such Consolidated Net Income for such period, the sum of interest income (including realized and unrealized gains on
interest rate derivative contracts); income tax benefit; unrealized gains on commodity derivative contracts; realized gains upon the early termination or other monetization of commodity derivative contracts; and gains on sales of assets. For the
purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDAX for any Rolling Period in connection with any determination of the financial ratio contained in Section 9.01(a), if during such Rolling Period, the Borrower or any Consolidated
Restricted Subsidiary shall have made a Material Disposition or Material Acquisition, the Consolidated EBITDAX for such Rolling Period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Material Disposition or Material Acquisition,
as applicable, occurred on the first day of such Rolling Period. For purposes of Consolidated EBITDAX for the Rolling Periods ending on the last day of the North Louisiana Property Sale Fiscal Quarter and last day of the first two fiscal quarters
thereafter in connection with any determination of the financial ratio contained in Section 9.01(a), Consolidated EBITDAX shall be calculated as follows: (A) for the Rolling Period ending on the last day of the North
Louisiana Property Sale Fiscal Quarter, Consolidated EBITDAX shall be Consolidated EBITDAX for the Rolling Period ending on such date multiplied by 4; (B) for the Rolling Period ending on the last day of the first fiscal quarter ending after the
North Louisiana Property Sale Fiscal Quarter, Consolidated EBITDAX shall be Consolidated EBITDAX for the Rolling Period ending on such date multiplied by 2; and (C) for the Rolling Period ending on the last day of the second fiscal quarter
ending after the North Louisiana Property Sale Fiscal Quarter, Consolidated EBITDAX shall be Consolidated EBITDAX for the Rolling Period ending on such date multiplied by 4/3. 

  
 Page 7 







 “Rolling Period” means (a) for the North Louisiana
Property Sale Fiscal Quarter and the first two fiscal quarters thereafter, the period commencing on the first calendar day of the North Louisiana Property Sale Fiscal Quarter and ending on the last day of such fiscal quarter and (b) for the
third fiscal quarter ending after the North Louisiana Property Sale Fiscal Quarter, and for each fiscal quarter thereafter, the period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters ending on the last day of such applicable fiscal quarter. 

Section 4.        Aggregate Elected Commitment Amounts. Pursuant to
Section 2.06(c), the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amounts shall be increased to $1,050,000,000, effective as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, and the Borrower and the Lenders agree and acknowledge that the Elected Commitment of each
Lender shall be as more particularly set forth on Annex I attached hereto and that each New Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered Exhibit H attached to the Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof. 

Section 5.        Borrowing Base Redetermination. Pursuant to
Section 2.07, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that for the period from and including the Fourth Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the next Redetermination Date, the amount of the Borrowing Base shall be equal to
$1,050,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowing Base may be subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to Section 2.07(e), Section 2.07(f) or Section 8.12(c). For the avoidance of doubt, the redetermination
herein shall constitute the April 1, 2018 Scheduled Redetermination and the next Scheduled Redetermination shall be the October 1, 2018 Scheduled Redetermination. 

Section 6.        New Lenders. Each New Lender hereby joins in, becomes a
party to, and agrees to comply with and be bound by the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement as amended hereby as a Lender thereunder and under each and every other Loan Document to which any Lender is required to be bound by the Credit
Agreement as amended hereby, to the same extent as if such New Lender were an original signatory thereto. Each New Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers
and discretion under the Credit Agreement as amended hereby as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each New Lender represents and warrants
that (a) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Fourth Amendment, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become a party to, and a Lender under, the Credit Agreement as
amended hereby, (b) it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 8.01, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Fourth Amendment and to become a Lender on the basis of which it has made such analysis and decision independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and
