in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, respectively. If for
any reason the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the LIBO Rate for any reason, including,

“S&P”, and (b) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within different Levels, the Applicable Rating Level shall be based on the higher rating,

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, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rating Level shall be determined by

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 in US Dollars or LIBOR Loans in any Currency 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;

(c) Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any

 22 








 SECTION 2.3 Requests for Borrowings. In (i) the event that LC Exposure (after giving pro
forma effect to the issuance of a requested Letter of Credit) exceeds (or would exceed) the aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments from Issuing Banks which (x) can issue a Letter of Credit compliant with the applicable Security Arrangement,
including those with a Bank Rating equal to or higher than the amount required by the applicable Security Arrangement for such Letter of Credit and (y) are not excused by the last sentence of Section 2.4(a) from issuing a Letter of Credit, or
(ii) connection with financing the repayment of a LC Disbursement in accordance with Section 2.4(e), Borrower shall have the right and option to request a Borrowing in a Currency by notifying the Administrative Agent of such request in

City time. Any such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by Borrower. Each telephonic and written
Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2: 
 (i) the Currency of the
requested Borrowing;

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

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 a LIBOR Borrowing in Pound Sterling. 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 

  
 23 








 
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 Pound Sterling 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 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 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) aggregate
Commitments, (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 

  
 24 








 
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 issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof one (1) year after 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 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 

  
 25 








 
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 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 equivalent amount of either the same Currency as such LC Disbursement or, if the currency of such LC Disbursement is not a Currency, in Pound Sterling, 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 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 3:00 p.m., London time, on the
fourth 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 equivalent amount of such LC Disbursement in the Currency elected by Borrower 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 a Currency 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 payment then due from Borrower in the specified Currency, 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 

  
 26 








 
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 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 

  
 27 








 
(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 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 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 email (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, for LC Disbursements not denominated in US Dollars, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Applicable LIBO Rate for overnight funds plus the LIBOR Margin and, for LC Disbursements denominated in US Dollars, 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. 

  
 28 








 (i) Cash Collateralization in Event of Default. If any Event of Default described in
Section 8.1(a) shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, Borrower shall 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 the same currency as each issued Letter of Credit equal to aggregate LC
Exposure plus any accrued and unpaid Facility Fees through the occurrence date of such Event of Default which are not yet due and payable 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 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 

  
 29 








 
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 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 Agent on the second (2nd) Business Day following (i) the 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) 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 Pound Sterling (converting Letters of Credit in a non-GBP currency into Pound Sterling on the basis
of the rate of exchange prevailing at the close of business on the date of the Change Report Effective Date or Status Report Effective Date, as applicable, and (iii) any additional information reasonably requested by Agent. 

  
 30 








 (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. 
 (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. 

  
 31 








 SECTION 2.5 Funding of Borrowings. 

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds
by 2:00 p.m., London 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 amounts so
received, in like funds, 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 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. 
 (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 Federal Funds Effective 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 once 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 180 days prior to the
third 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). 

  
 32 








 (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
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 (i) 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 Acceptance 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. 

  
 33 








 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. 
 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowings of one Type may not be converted to a Borrowing of a different Type; provided that Borrower may elect to convert ABR Borrowings to LIBOR Borrowings. 

(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 or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by Borrower. 

(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”. 

  
 34 








 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 be converted to a LIBOR Borrowing in the same currency with an Interest Period of one month. 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, no outstanding Borrowing
may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess of one month. 
 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 GBP1,000,000 and not less than GBP5,000,000 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 the same Currency as such Loan was made 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)). 

  
 35 








 (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 Type thereof and
the Interest Period 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 one or more promissory notes. In such event, Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender promissory notes payable to the order of 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 notes 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 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 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) of any prepayment
hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a LIBOR Borrowing, not 

  
 36 








 
later than 1:00 p.m., London 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 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) 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 period from and including the Effective Date to
but excluding the Maturity Date; 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 Pound Sterling. 

(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 face amount of each such Letter of Credit during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on
which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, 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 its average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the
date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, 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. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on 

  
 37 








 
the third (3rd) Business Day following such last day, 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. 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 either the same Currency as such Letter of Credit or, if the
currency of such Letter of Credit is not a Currency, in Pound Sterling. 
 (c) Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its
own account, fees payable in the amounts, in the agreed Currency 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 and currency 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, (ii) in the case of any other amount not denominated in US Dollars,
at a rate of interest per annum equal to 2% plus the Applicable LIBO Rate for overnight funds plus the LIBOR Margin as provided in Section 2.12(b), or (iii) 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. 

  
 38 








 (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 or for Pound Sterling 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. 

SECTION 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing: 

(a) 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, for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative
Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
or 
 (c) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that by reason
of circumstances affecting the interbank Currency markets generally, deposits in Pound Sterling in the London interbank 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 Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation
of any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing shall be made as a LIBOR Loan having the shortest Interest Period which is not unavailable under Section 2.13(a) through Section 2.13(c), and if no Interest Period is available, as an ABR
Borrowing, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBOR Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a LIBOR Loan having the shortest Interest Period which is not unavailable under Section 2.13(a) through Section 2.13(c),
and if no Interest Period is available, 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. 

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 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 affecting this Agreement or
LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

  
 39 








 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any
LIBOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then 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, 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 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), 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. 

  
 40 








 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 Currency 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, 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)
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that if Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct or
withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) Borrower shall make such deduction or withholding, (ii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) if
such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(b) In addition, Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(c) 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 

  
 41 








 
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. 
 (d) 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. 
 (e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

 (i) Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on
which it becomes a party to this Agreement two (2) duly completed and executed originals of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax. 

(ii) Each Foreign Lender agrees that such Lender will deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a
Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two (2) duly completed and executed originals of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, W-8 ECI and/or W 8 IMY (together with any applicable
underlying Internal Revenue Service withholding certificates that may be required) certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments from Borrower under the Loan Documents without deduction or withholding of any United States
federal income taxes. Such forms shall be delivered by each Foreign Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related
participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each Lender which so delivers a Form W-8 BEN, W-8 ECI or W-8 IMY further undertakes to deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent
two (2) additional executed originals of such form (or a successor form) on or before such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it and such amendments
thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, in each case, certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments from Borrower under the Loan Documents without deduction or
withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless (A) an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all
such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and (B) such Lender advises Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not


  
 42 








 
capable of receiving such payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax. Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to
Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

(iii) In addition to the applicable United States Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 2.16(e)(ii), each Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code shall deliver a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within
the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of
the Code. 
 (iv) If a payment made to a Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank under any Loan Document would
be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender, the 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, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be
necessary for Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank has complied with the obligations of such Lender, the Administrative Agent
or Issuing Bank under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(e)(iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement. 
 (f) Additional United Kingdom Withholding Tax Matters. 

(i) Subject to Section 2.16(f)(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. 

  
 43 








 (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 Section
2.16(f)(i) above. 
 (iii) If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in
accordance with Section 2.16(f)(ii) above, the UK Borrower(s) shall 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 Section
2.16(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 UK Borrower hereunder. 

  
 44 








 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., London time, and, with respect to reimbursement of LC Disbursements, prior to 3:00 p.m., London 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 J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, 25 Bank Street, Canary Wharf, London E14 5JP, United Kingdom, Attention: London
Agency Team, telephone no.: +44 207 134 8188, facsimile no.: +44 207 777 2360, pursuant to the following instructions: 
 (i)
for payments consisting of Pound Sterling and/or any other currency which is not a Currency: J.P. MORGAN EUROPE LIMITED (CHASGB22) , SORT CODE: 40-52-06; Account Number : IBAN: GB82CHAS60924203043504, 

(ii) for payments consisting of US Dollars: JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NEW YORK (CHASUS33), ABA routing 021 000 021, Account Name:
J.P. MORGAN EUROPE LIMITED (CHASGB22), Account number: 544714108, and 
 (iii) for payments consisting of Canadian Dollars:
Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto (ROYCCAT2), Account name: J.P. Morgan Europe Limited (CHASGB22) , Account Number : 2194421, 
 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. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all payments hereunder shall be
made in Pound Sterling. 
 (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. 

  
 45 








 (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 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 Federal Funds Effective 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 2.17(d), 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 for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account 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. 

  
 46 








 (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 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 additional amount 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 additional amount 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 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 Acceptance, and (iv) in the case of any 

  
 47 








 
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. 
 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 Pounds
Sterling, then the conversion or valuation shall be made on the basis of the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of determination 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). For the foregoing purposes “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the relevant Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent, as applicable, in accordance with its normal
banking procedures is able on the relevant date to purchase (i) the Agreed Currency with either the Non-Agreed Currency or Pounds Sterling, as applicable, or (ii) Pounds Sterling with either the Non-Agreed Currency or the Agreed Currency, as
applicable, and in the case of (i) and (ii), after deducting any premium and costs of exchange. 
 (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, is able to purchase on the Business Day next following such receipt with 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. 

  
 48 








 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) 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 (b) 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). 

(c) 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 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 

(iii) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is not reallocated pursuant to Section 2.20(c), then, without
prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all commitment 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 such LC Exposure is reallocated. 

(d) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless
it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, 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). 

  
 49 








 (e) 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 to the same extent as
any other Additional Borrower, upon the fulfillment of the following conditions: 
 (i) Resolutions and Officers’

Borrower shall be responsible to pay to each Lender any breakage fees or costs in connection with the reallocation of any outstanding Loans.

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

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

the twelve-consecutive-month period prior to the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the date of any Borrowing hereunder, no steps have been taken to terminate any Pension Plan, and no contribution failure has occurred
with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to 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.

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

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.

	 	(b)	Breach of Warranty. Any representation or warranty of Borrower made or deemed to be made hereunder or in any other Loan Document or any other writing or certificate furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to
the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender for the purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any such other Loan Document is or shall be false or misleading when made in any material respect.

ARTICLE IX 
 Agents 

Each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan as Administrative Agent, HSBC Bank USA, National
Association, Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia, The Toronto-Dominion Bank, New York Branch, and Bank of Montreal, as Co-Syndication Agents, and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, and Société Générale, 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.

 Any bank serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank, as
applicable, as any other Lender or Issuing Bank, as 

  
 64 








 
applicable, and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with
Apache or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder. 
 The Agents shall not have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agents shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (the
use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Agents is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law; rather,
such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties), (b) each Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, each Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to
Apache or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Each Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Agent
shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by Borrower, an Issuing Bank or a Lender, and such 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 this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of
the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set
forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. None of the Persons identified on the facing page of this Agreement as the “Co-Lead Arrangers and Joint
Bookrunners” (the “Arrangers”), the Co-Documentation Agents or the Co-Syndication Agents shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any other Loan Document other than,
except in the case of the Arrangers, those applicable to all Lenders or Issuing Banks, as applicable, as such. 
 The Administrative Agent
and the other Agents shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent and the other Agents also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Administrative Agent and the other Agents may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

  
 65 








 Any Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through
any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Any Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as
activities as an Agent. 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. 
 Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and Borrower. 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 Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent. Upon any such
resignation or removal, Apache shall have the right, in consultation with the Required Lenders, to appoint one of the Lenders as a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by Apache and shall have accepted such appointment within 30
days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its 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. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.3 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent. 

Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank and based on such documents and information 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
related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 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. 

(b) 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) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments 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. 

  
 69 








 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 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) To the extent that Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank under
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each 

  
 70 








 
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, in its capacity as such. 
 (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 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). 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 assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) Apache must give its
prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (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 Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be in increments of GBP1,000,000 and not less than GBP10,000,000 unless each of Borrower and the


  
 71 








 
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 an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of GBP3,500, 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 Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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 Acceptance 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. 
 (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and
Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, 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 Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register and will provide prompt
written notice to Borrower of the effectiveness of such Assignment. 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”) in all 

  
 72 








 
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 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(e) as
though it were a Lender. 
 (g) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of 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. 

  
 73 








 (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. 

SECTION 10.6 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 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 and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent 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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 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,


  
 74 








 
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 LC 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 THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR
DOCUMENTARY CREDITS 600 (“UCP 600”) (OR SUCH LATER VERSION OF ISP 98 OR UCP 600 AS MAY BE IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF ISSUANCE), AS SPECIFIED BY APACHE AT THE TIME IT APPLIES FOR SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT. 

(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, 

  
 75 








 
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 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 

  
 76 








 
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 

  
 77 








 
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 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 

  
 78 








 
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 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. 

  
 79 








 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.
