under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and as to each and all installments hereunder and thereunder, and agree that their liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not be affected by any renewal or extension in the
time of payment hereof, or in any indulgences, or by any release or change in any security for the payment of the Obligations, and hereby consent to any and all such renewals, extensions, indulgences, releases or changes. 

(c)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness
of the 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. 

(d)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made
hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the 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. 
 (e)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to
clauses (c) or (d) of this Section 2.06 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 the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(f)    Any Lender or Participant may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the
Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender or Participant a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender or Participant (or, if requested by such Lender or Participant, to such Lender or Participant and its registered assigns)
and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04)
be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(2)    If, notwithstanding immediately preceding clause (a), an optional or voluntary prepayment of any
Borrowing of Term Loans attributable to the exchange of the Tranche A Fairfax Term Loans shall occur, each such prepayment shall be applied

ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing of Term Loans attributable to the exchange of the Tranche A Fairfax Term Loans and each such prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued
interest to the extent required by Section 2.10 (but, for the avoidance of doubt, which interest shall be paid entirely in cash) and the Make-Whole Amount. 

(b)    Tranche A Exchange Term Loans. 

(1)    Subject to clause (b)(6) below, at any time prior to October 26, 2018, the Borrower may,
on one or more occasions, prepay all or any portion of the Term Loans attributable to the exchange of the Tranche A Exchange Term Loans, upon notice as provided in Section 2.07(b)(5), at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
Term Loans attributable to the exchange of the Tranche A Exchange Term Loans prepaid, plus the Make-Whole Amount as of the date of prepayment, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the date of prepayment (subject to the right of the
Lenders on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is prior to the date of prepayment). Borrower shall calculate the Make-Whole Amount and provide such calculation to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders at least two (2) Business Days before the date of any such prepayment; provided that such calculation shall be subject to the review and approval of the Lenders. In no event shall the Administrative Agent have any duty, responsibility,
or liability with respect to the calculations of the Make-Whole Amount, which calculations shall be the sole responsibility of Borrower.

the Term Loans attributable to the exchange of the Tranche A Exchange Term Loans prepaid, plus the premium (expressed as percentages of the principal amount to be prepaid) set forth below if prepaid during the
12-month period beginning on October 26th of the years indicated below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the date of prepayment (subject to the right of the Lenders on the relevant regular

 (5)    To make a prepayment, the Borrower shall deliver at
least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 (noon), New York City time. Each such notice of prepayment shall specify the
prepayment date and the principal amount of Loans to be prepaid, which date may not be more than 30 days after the date of notice of prepayment, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay Tranche A Exchange Term Loans in the amount
stated therein on the date stated therein; provided, however, that (1) if such prepayment is for all of the then outstanding Tranche A Exchange Term Loans, then the Borrower may revoke such notice by written notice to the Administrative Agent
no later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date of prepayment and/or extend the prepayment date by not more than five Business Days and (2) if such prepayment is a partial prepayment, it shall be in an amount that is an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. 
 (6)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in the event that the Borrower elects to make a prepayment of Term Loans attributable to the exchange of the Tranche A Exchange Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.07(b)(1) or (2), the Borrower shall concurrently, on a ratable
basis, make a prepayment of Term Loans attributable to the exchange of the Tranche A Fairfax Term Loans, together with accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10 (but, for the avoidance of doubt, which interest
shall be paid entirely in cash) and the Make-Whole Amount in accordance with Section 2.07(a)(2). 

Section 2.08    Mandatory Prepayment of Loans. 

(a)    If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary receives Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale or Disposes of
any Oil and Gas Properties at any time (whether pursuant to a Disposition of Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary permitted pursuant to Section 6.04 or otherwise), subject to clause (e) of this
Section 2.08 and to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Borrower shall prepay Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition on or within two (2) Business Days of the date
it or any Restricted Subsidiary receives the Net Cash Proceeds from such Disposition; provided, any Net Cash Proceeds from any such Disposition received by Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may be used within three hundred sixty
(360) days after such Disposition to (i) acquire property, plant and equipment or any business entity used or useful in carrying on the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or to improve or replace any existing property
of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries used or useful in carrying on the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (the foregoing, collectively, “replacement assets”), or to make capital expenditures in Oil
and Gas Properties; provided, further, for purposes of this sub-clause (i), any Net Cash Proceeds attributable to a Disposition of an asset owned by a Credit Party must be reinvested in
replacement assets owned by one or more Credit Parties or to make capital expenditures in Oil and Gas Properties owned by one or more Credit Parties; (ii) subject to Section 2.13(b) (if applicable), make an offer (an “Asset Sale
Offer”) to prepay in cash the Loans, on pro rata basis, pursuant to prepayment procedures reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (iii) to permanently repay, redeem or repurchase (and permanently reduce the commitments with
respect to) any Senior Priority Lien Debt and other outstanding Senior Priority Lien Obligations or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. The offer price in any Asset 

  

					
		 	74	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 
Sale Offer shall be payable in cash and will be equal to (x) 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment plus the Make-Whole Amount in the case of Term
Loans attributable to the exchange of the Tranche A Fairfax Term Loans and (y) 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment in the case of Term Loans attributable to the exchange of the Tranche A Exchange Term
Loans. 
 Each Lender may accept all or a portion of its pro rata share of any Asset Sale Offer (any amounts not accepted, the
“Declined Amounts”) by providing written notice (an “Acceptance Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. ten Business Days after the date of delivery of such Asset Sale Offer.
Each Acceptance Notice delivered by a Lender shall specify the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid from such Lender; provided that (i) such amount shall not exceed such Lender’s pro rata share of the Asset Sale Offer and
(ii) if such Lender fails to specify any such amount, it shall be deemed to have requested its full pro rata share of such Asset Sale Offer. If a Lender fails to deliver an Acceptance Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame
specified above, such failure will be deemed a full rejection of such Asset Sale Offer. The Borrower shall prepay all Loans required to prepaid by it under this Section 2.08(a) no later than five Business Days after expiration of the time
period for acceptance by the Lenders of the Asset Sale Offer. Any Declined Amounts shall no longer be subject to this Section 2.08 and may be used by the Borrower in any way not prohibited by this Agreement. If the
aggregate principal amount of Loans requested to be repaid exceeds the aggregate amount to be repaid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Administrative Agent shall apply the amounts to be repaid by the
Borrower to the Loans requested to be repaid on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of such Loans. 

(b)    In the event and on each occasion that any Net Cash Proceeds are received by or on behalf of any Credit Party in
respect of the incurrence of any Indebtedness after the Effective Date (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 7.01, subject to clause (e) of this Section 2.08
and to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) the Borrower shall, immediately after such Net Cash Proceeds are received by any Credit Party, apply such amounts to prepay pro rata among the Term Lenders (x) Term Loans attributable to the
exchange of the Tranche A Fairfax Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds, together with the Make-Whole Amount, and (y) the Term Loans attributable to the exchange of the Tranche A Exchange Term Loans in an
aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. 
 (c)    Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control the
Borrower shall immediately prepay, in full, in cash, the aggregate outstanding (x) Term Loans attributable to the exchange of the Tranche A Fairfax Term Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the date of such prepayment
and the Make-Whole Amount, and (y) Term Loans attributable to the exchange of the Tranche A Exchange Term Loans in an amount equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Loans, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the date of
such prepayment. 
 (d)    Prepayments pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the
extent required by Section 2.10 and any Applicable Premium (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Make-Whole Amount), if any, required under Section 2.09(b), all of


  

					
		 	75	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 
which shall be paid in cash. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Amounts applied to the payment of Term Loans pursuant to this
Section may not be re-borrowed. 
 (e)    Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 2.08 to the contrary, no prepayments of outstanding Loans that would otherwise be required to be made under clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 2.08 shall be required if such prepayment is prohibited by the
Intercreditor Agreement. 
 Section 2.09    Fees and Applicable Premium 

(a)    Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Trustee, for their own account, any such fees
payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Trustee. 

(b)    In the event any mandatory or voluntary repayment or prepayment (including, without limitation, any prepayment
pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer) of the Term Loans is made prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, including as a result of the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Obligations at any time prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, for any
reason, including (i) termination upon the election of the Majority Lenders to terminate after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (or, in the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clauses
(g) or (h) of Article VIII with respect to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, automatically upon the occurrence thereof), (ii) foreclosure and sale of Collateral, (iii) sale of the Collateral in
any insolvency proceeding, or (iv) restructure, reorganization, or compromise of the Obligations by the confirmation of a plan of reorganization or any other plan of compromise, restructure, or arrangement in any insolvency proceeding, then, in
view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of damages to the Term Lenders or profits lost by the Term Lenders as a result of such early payment or termination, and by mutual agreement of the Borrower and
the Term Lenders as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Term Lenders, the Borrower shall pay in cash, pro rata among the Term Lenders that hold Term Loans based on their respective outstanding principal
amounts on the date of such prepayment, the Applicable Premium (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Make-Whole Amount), measured as of the date of such payment or termination. Borrower shall calculate the Applicable Premium (including, for
the avoidance of doubt, any Make-Whole Amount) and provide such calculation to Administrative Agent and the Term Lenders at least two (2) Business Days before the date any such prepayment is made; provided that such calculation shall be
subject to the review and approval of the Term Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall disburse any such prepayment (together with the Applicable Premium (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Make-Whole Amount) which has been delivered to
Administrative Agent by Borrower at the time of the prepayment) to the Term Lenders upon Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. In no event shall the Administrative Agent have any duty, responsibility or liability with respect to the
calculations of the Applicable Premium (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Make-Whole Amount), which calculation shall be the sole responsibility of Borrower.

 (c)    All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent. Subject to Section 10.13, fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 

Section 2.10    Interest. 

(a)    Cash Interest Payments. Except as provided in this Section 2.10 (and, for the avoidance of doubt,
including clause (c) below), interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans shall be payable entirely in cash (such interest, “Cash Interest”) on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Cash
Interest on the Tranche A Term Loans shall accrue at a rate of 12.5% per annum and be payable in cash (the “Cash Interest Rate”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for so long as the Senior Secured Notes
are outstanding, the Borrower shall not be permitted to make payments of Cash Interest for any applicable Interest Payment Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall instead be required to make payments of PIK Interest for such applicable Interest
Payment Date) if (i) for such applicable Interest Payment Date and for the relevant quarterly interest payment period (or for the immediately prior quarterly interest payment period), the Borrower makes payments of any amount of PIK Interest
(under and as defined in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture) under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture for such Interest Payment Date (except with respect to the June 20, 2017 Interest Payment Date), (ii) a Default or Event of Default (as
defined under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture) has occurred and is continuing under the Senior Secured Notes or (iii) on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such payment (together with any payment to be made substantially concurrently
therewith under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture), the Borrower has Liquidity, on a pro forma basis, of less than $175.0 million (such sentence being herein referred to as the “Cash Interest Payment Conditions”). 

(b)    PIK Interest Payments. Subject to the restrictions in this clause (b) and in clause
(c) below, the Borrower may elect, at its option, to pay all or a portion of the interest due on the Tranche A Term Loans on the applicable Interest Payment Date by (1) issuing PIK Shares to the Lenders (such payments, “PIK
Share Payments”) or (2) paying such interest in kind by capitalizing (and thereby increasing) the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans (such payments, “PIK Loan Payments”, with the payment of
interest through PIK Share Payments or through PIK Loan Payments being herein referred to as “PIK Interest”), and in each case, notifying the Administrative Agent as set forth in Section 2.10(f). Any PIK Interest on the
Tranche A Term Loans shall accrue at a rate of 15.0% per annum (the “PIK Interest Rate”). (ii) The Borrower’s ability to pay PIK Interest as PIK Share Payments is subject to the following conditions: (A) the Borrower shall
have received the Requisite Shareholder Approvals, (B) the PIK Share Payment shall not result in a beneficial owner of Obligations owed under the Term Loans, such beneficial owner’s Affiliates and any person subject to aggregation with
such beneficial owner or its Affiliates under Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, beneficially owning (as defined in Rules 13d-3 or 13d-5 under the Exchange
Act, except that for purposes of this provision such holder shall be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all shares of Common Stock that any such holder has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only
after the passage of time), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Borrower or any of its direct or indirect parent entities (or their successors by merger, consolidation or purchase of all or
substantially all of their assets), (C) the number of PIK Shares to be issued shall not be in excess of the 

  

					
		 	77	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 
authorized amount of Common Stock available under the Borrower’s charter therefor, (D) the PIK Shares shall be (x) listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange on
which the Common Stock is then listed or the over the counter market and (y) duly authorized, validly issued and non-assessable, and the issuance of such PIK Shares shall not be subject to any preemptive
or similar rights and (E) the Borrower’s Resale Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC subject to any limitations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. If the foregoing conditions are not met and the
Borrower otherwise has the ability to elect to pay PIK Interest, the Borrower may pay such PIK Interest as PIK Loan Payments. To the extent the Shelf Registration Statement is not effective and/or any PIK Share Payments are issued in any manner not
involving a registered issuance under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, the certificates or book-entry interests representing such shares shall bear a legend to such effect which
shall be removed at the request of a lender subject to receipt of customary certificates and opinions. The Borrower will cooperate with the Lenders with respect to any such request. 

(c)    For any Interest Payment Date on or prior to December 31, 2018 and subject to the Cash Interest Payment
Conditions, (1) the Borrower shall be permitted to pay PIK Interest in its sole discretion and (2) interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans for the relevant quarterly interest payment period shall accrue at
the PIK Interest Rate unless, and only unless, the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent, no later than the 20th day prior to each Interest Payment Date, written notification, executed by
a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, of its intention to pay Cash Interest for the applicable Interest Payment Date, setting forth the amount of Cash Interest to be paid on such Interest Payment Date and certifying that the Borrower is permitted
to pay Cash Interest in accordance with this Agreement. For any Interest Payment Date after December 31, 2018 and subject to the Cash Interest Payment Conditions, interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans for the
relevant quarterly interest payment period shall accrue at the Cash Interest Rate, unless, and only unless to the extent applicable, if the Liquidity for such applicable quarter shall: 

(1)    equal or exceed $225.0 million, then the Borrower must pay Cash Interest on 100% of the
principal amount of Tranche A Term Loans outstanding, payable at the applicable Cash Interest Rate, and no PIK Interest may be paid; 

(2)    equal or exceed $200.0 million but be less than $225.0 million, then the Borrower shall
pay interest on (x) up to 25% (the applicable percentage determined by the Borrower) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans as PIK Interest, such PIK Interest payable at the applicable PIK Interest Rate (and
shall otherwise be deemed to have accrued at such rate), and (y) 100% (minus the applicable, if any, elected percentage under immediately preceding clause (x)) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans as Cash
Interest, payable at the applicable Cash Interest Rate; 
 (3)    equal or exceed $175.0 million
but be less than $200.0 million, then the Borrower shall pay interest on (x) up to 50% (the applicable percentage determined by the Borrower) of the then 

  

					
		 	78	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.

outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans as PIK Interest, such PIK Interest payable at the applicable PIK Interest Rate (and shall otherwise be deemed to have accrued at such
rate), and (y) 100% (minus the applicable, if any, elected percentage under immediately preceding clause (x)) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans as Cash Interest, payable at the applicable Cash Interest
Rate; 
 (4)    equal or exceed $150.0 million but be less than $175.0 million, then the
Borrower shall pay interest on (x) up to 75% (the applicable percentage determined by the Borrower) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans as PIK Interest, such PIK Interest payable at the applicable PIK
Interest Rate (and shall otherwise be deemed to have accrued at such rate), and (y) 100% (minus the applicable, if any, elected percentage under immediately preceding clause (x)) of the then outstanding principal amount of the
Term Loans as Cash Interest, payable at the applicable Cash Interest Rate; and 
 (5)    be less than
$150.0 million, then the Borrower shall pay interest on (x) up to 100% (the applicable percentage determined by the Borrower) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans as PIK Interest, such PIK Interest
payable at the applicable PIK Interest Rate (and shall otherwise be deemed to have accrued at such rate), and (y) 100% (minus the applicable, if any, elected percentage under immediately preceding clause (x)) of the then
outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans as Cash Interest, payable at the applicable Cash Interest Rate. 

(d)    Payment of PIK Share Payments. 

(1)    PIK Share Payments shall be payable in PIK Shares in an amount calculated by the Borrower by
dividing the outstanding balance of the accrued PIK Interest after giving effect to any interest to be paid in Cash Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans by the 20-day volume
weighted average price per share of the Borrower’s Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (or the over-the-counter market or other exchange on which the Common
Stock is then listed) calculated as at the end of the three Trading Days prior to the Determination Date, rounded up to the nearest share of Common Stock (a “PIK Share Payment”). With respect to any PIK Share Payments, the Borrower
shall deliver the applicable PIK Shares to the Lenders on the relevant Interest Payment Date. On the relevant Interest Payment Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) written notification, executed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower certifying that the issuance of the PIK Shares as payment of all or a portion of PIK Interest on such Interest Payment Date has been made in accordance with this Agreement and (y) the written notification, executed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower delivered to the applicable Lenders with respect to such Interest Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.10(f). 

  

					
		 	79	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 (2)    PIK Loan Payments shall be effected, by increasing
the principal amount of the outstanding Tranche A Term Loans by a dollar amount equal to the percentage of PIK Interest to be paid thereon, after giving effect to any interest to be paid in Cash Interest, less any PIK Share Payment to be made on
such Interest Payment Date (rounded up to the nearest $1.00), automatically without any further action by any Person. 

(3)    In the event that the Borrower is permitted to and elects to pay a portion of the interest on the
Term Loans as Cash Interest and a portion as PIK Interest, such Cash Interest and PIK Interest shall be paid to (or for the account of) Lenders pro rata in accordance with their interests. 

(4)    PIK Share Payments shall be made by the Borrower to the respective Lenders and certified to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.10(d)(1). 
 (e)    The insufficiency or lack of funds
available to the Borrower to pay Cash Interest as required pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not permit the Borrower to pay PIK Interest in respect of any Interest Payment Date and the sole right of the Borrower to elect
to pay PIK Interest shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 2.10(b) and (c). 

(f)    No later than the 20th day prior to each Interest Payment Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent written notification, executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying (i) that the Borrower is permitted to pay PIK Interest in the amounts set forth in the notice on the next Interest Payment Date in accordance with this
Agreement and is electing to pay PIK Interest on the next Interest Payment Date, (ii) the amount of interest to be paid on the next Interest Payment Date, (iii) the amount of PIK Interest to be paid as PIK Loans, if any, on the next
Interest Payment Date and (iv) the amount of PIK Interest to be paid as PIK Shares, if any, on the next Interest Payment Date and the number of PIK Shares, if any, to be issued in connection therewith. The Administrative Agent shall promptly
deliver a copy of such notice to the Lenders. 
 (g)    (i) If the Borrower shall default in the payment of any
principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, by acceleration or otherwise, or (ii) if any Event of Default under Article VIII (other than clauses
(a) or (b) thereunder) has occurred and is continuing and the Majority Lenders so vote (or, in the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clauses (g) or (h) of
Article VIII with respect to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, automatically upon the occurrence thereof), then, in the case of clause (i) above, until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full
or, in the case of clause (ii) above, from the date such vote has been exercised by the Majority Lenders (or, in the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clauses (g) or (h) of
Article VIII with respect to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, automatically upon the occurrence thereof) and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, to the extent

permitted by law, all overdue amounts under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand (including accrued and
unpaid PIK Interest which for the avoidance of doubt shall be paid in cash), (x) in the case of overdue principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.10 plus 2.00% per annum and
(y) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the interest rate applicable to Loans pursuant to Section 2.10 plus 2.00% per
annum. 
 (h)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan
and on the Term Loan Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall be payable on demand (including accrued and unpaid PIK Interest which for the avoidance of doubt
shall be paid in cash) and (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. 

(i)    All interest hereunder 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 day but excluding the last day). 
 (j)    Interest on each Loan
shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 

(k)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of accrued interest in connection with any optional or
mandatory prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans as described under Sections 2.07 or 2.08 shall be payable solely in cash at the applicable Cash Interest rate for the applicable calendar quarter in which such Interest Payment Date
occurs. 
 (l)     In the event that any PIK Share Payment is made, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to keep a
Resale Registration Statement continuously effective until such time as no PIK Shares are held by any Lender, subject to any rights to delay or suspend or limit such registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. 

(m)    The Administrative Agent shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list
available to it of the names and addresses of all Lenders. Upon request by the Borrower in respect of an Interest Payment Date, the Administrative Agent shall furnish to the Borrower, no later than two Business Days after the related Record Date, a
list of names, addresses, federal tax identification numbers and principal amounts of Obligations of the Lenders as of such Record Date. Upon request by the Borrower, in respect of any date that is not an Interest Payment Date, the Administrative
Agent shall furnish such information to the Borrower within two Business Days of such request. 

Section 2.11    Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. 

(a)    If any Change in Law shall (1) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; (2) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes
described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes)

on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (3) impose on any Lender
or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient
of making or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the
Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b)    If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such
Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration
such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c)    A certificate of a Lender setting forth
(i) the amount or amounts reasonably necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.11, (ii)
the factual basis for such compensation, and (iii) the manner in which such amount or amounts were calculated, and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due
on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender
to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate
any Lender under immediately preceding clauses (a) or (b) with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender knew or could reasonably
have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions;
provided, further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period.
The protection of this Section 2.11 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed. 

Section 2.12    Taxes. 

(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Credit Party under any Loan
Document shall be made without deduction or 

  

					
		 	82	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 
withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or
withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such
deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 (b)    In addition, the Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(c)    The Credit Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.12) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be
withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 (d)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower
or any other Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, the 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. 

(1)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Sections 2.12(d)(2)(i), 2.12(d)(2)(ii) and 2.12(d)(4) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

 (2)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(i)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or
prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form
W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; 

(ii)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (A)    in the
case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form
W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(B)    executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(C)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a
“U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as
applicable); or 
 (D)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals
of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or
Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign
Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 (3)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally
entitled to do so, deliver to the 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 the 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 U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly
completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(4)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding
Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender 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 shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to
determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made
to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (5)    Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification
it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(e)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for
(1) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do
so), (2) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (3) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such
Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative
Agent under this clause (e).

 (f)    If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good
faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12),
it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.12 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required
to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party
would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This
clause (f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(g)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.12 shall survive the resignation or
replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. For purposes of this
Section 2.12, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 

Section 2.13    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of
Set-offs. 
 (a)    The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made
by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.11 or Section 2.12, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made (x) to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Wilmington Trust, National Association, 50 South Sixth Street, Suite 1290, Minneapolis, MN 55402, or (y) directly to the
applicable Lender as may be specified in writing from time to time by the Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Section 2.11, Section 2.12 and
Section 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly
following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon
shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

 (b)    Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, any proceeds of Collateral
received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall, to the extent not otherwise specified in the Loan Documents,
be applied to the payment of such principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents as specified by the Borrower), or (B) a mandatory prepayment or prepayment pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer (which shall be applied in
accordance with Section 2.08) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due
to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Credit Party, second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower or any other Credit Party, third, to pay interest then due and payable
on the Loans ratably, fourth, to pay the portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, in each case, ratably among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and fifth, to the payment of any other Obligations
due to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party by any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse
and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations. 
 (c)    Subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement, if any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise (including any right of set-off exercised with respect to a
Swap Agreement), obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans 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 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; 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 clause (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment
made by the 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 to any assignee or participant,
other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this clause (c) shall apply). The 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 the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d)    Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in 

  

					
		 	87	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 
accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall have no obligation to do so, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made
such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 2.13(d) or Section 10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such
amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections, in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative
Agent in its discretion. 
 Section 2.14    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders; Illegality.

 (a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different 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 2.11 or Section 2.12, 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. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all documented and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if the Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent, 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, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts attributable to the Applicable Premium), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the
case of all other 

  

					
		 	88	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 
amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 2.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender
or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

(c)    If (i) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to
any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires approval of all of the Lenders under Section 10.02, the consent of Super-Majority Lenders shall have
been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required has not been obtained or (ii) a Lender is a Defaulting
Lender; then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, elect to replace such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender, as the
case may be, as a Lender party to this Agreement in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by Section 10.04; provided that (x) the Borrower shall have received the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (y) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued
fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts attributable to the Applicable Premium), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply or, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. 

Section 2.15    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)    Such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which voting is required
(other than to the extent expressly provided in Section 10.02(b)) and the Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Lenders or the
Super-Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder. 

(b)    If a Defaulting Lender (or a Lender who would be a Defaulting Lender but for the expiration of the
relevant grace period) as a result of the exercise of a set-off shall have received a payment in respect of its Credit Exposure which results in its Credit Exposure being less than its Applicable Percentage of
the Aggregate Credit Exposure, then no payments will be made to such Defaulting Lender until such time as such Defaulting Lender shall have complied with this Section 2.15 and all amounts due and owing to the Lenders has
been equalized in accordance with each Lender’s respective pro rata share of the Obligations. Further, if at any time prior to the acceleration or maturity of the Loans, the Administrative Agent shall receive any payment in respect of principal
of a Loan while one or more Defaulting Lenders shall be party to this Agreement, the 

  

					
		 	89	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 
Administrative Agent shall apply such payment first to the Borrowing(s) for which such Defaulting Lender(s) shall have failed to fund its pro rata share until such time as such Borrowing(s) are
paid in full or each Lender (including each Defaulting Lender) is owed its Applicable Percentage of all Loans then outstanding. After acceleration or maturity of the Loans, subject to the first sentence of this
Section 2.15(b), all principal will be paid ratably as provided in Section 2.15(b). 

Section 2.16    Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or
any part of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside,
determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall
continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.16 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action
which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

Section 2.17    Collection of Proceeds of Production. The Security Instruments contain an assignment by the
Borrower and/or the Guarantors to and in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties of all of the Borrower’s or each Guarantor’s interest in and to production and all proceeds attributable thereto which may be
produced from or allocated to the Mortgaged Properties. The Security Instruments further provide in general for the application of such proceeds to the satisfaction of the Obligations and other obligations described therein and secured thereby.
Notwithstanding the assignment contained in such Security Instruments, (a) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither the Collateral Trustee nor the Administrative Agent nor any Lender will notify the purchaser or
purchasers of such production nor take any other action to cause such proceeds to be remitted to the Collateral Trustee nor the Administrative Agent nor any Lender, but the Collateral Trustee, Administrative Agent and each Lender will instead permit
such proceeds to be paid to the relevant Credit Party and (b) the Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Trustee to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds to be paid to the relevant Credit Party so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 3.15    Oil and Gas Properties. Each Credit Party has good and defensible title to all Proved
Reserves included in the Oil and Gas Properties (for purposes of this Section 3.15, “proved Oil and Gas Properties”) described in the most recent Reserve Report provided to the Administrative Agent, free and clear
of all Liens except Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.07. All such proved Oil and Gas Properties are valid, subsisting, and in full force and effect, and all rentals, royalties, and other amounts due and payable in
respect thereof have been duly paid. Without regard to any consent or non-consent provisions of any joint operating agreement covering any Credit Party’s proved Oil and Gas Properties, such Credit
Party’s share of (a) the costs for each proved Oil and Gas Property described in the Reserve Report is not materially greater than the decimal fraction set forth in the Reserve Report, before and after payout, as the case may be, and
described therein by the respective designations “working interests,” “WI,” “gross working interest,” “GWI,” or similar terms (except in such cases where there is a corresponding increase in the net revenue
interest), and (b) production from, allocated to, or attributed to each such proved Oil and Gas Property is not materially less than the decimal fraction set forth in the Reserve Report, before and after payout, as the case may be, and
described therein by the designations “net revenue interest,” “NRI,” or similar terms. Each well drilled in respect of proved producing Oil and Gas Properties described in the Reserve Report (1) is capable of, and is
presently, either producing Hydrocarbons in commercially profitable quantities or in the process of being worked over or enhanced, and the Credit Party that owns such proved producing Oil and Gas Properties is currently receiving payments for its
share of production, with no funds in respect of any thereof being presently held in suspense, other than any such funds being held in suspense pending delivery of appropriate division orders, and (2) has been drilled, bottomed, completed, and
operated in compliance with all applicable laws, in the case of clauses (1) and (2), except where any failure to satisfy clause (1) or to comply with clause (2) would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and no such well which is
currently producing Hydrocarbons is subject to any penalty in production by reason of such well having produced in excess of its allowable production. 

Section 3.16    Insurance. Each Credit Party has (a) all insurance policies sufficient for the
compliance by each of them with all material Governmental Requirements and all material agreements to which such Credit Party is a party and (b) insurance coverage in such amounts and against such risk (including, without limitation, public
liability) that are usually insured against by companies similarly situated and engaged in the same or a similar business for the assets and operations of the Credit Parties. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders have been named as additional
insureds in respect of such liability insurance policies and the Administrative Agent has been named as loss payee with respect to Property loss insurance. 

Section 3.17    Solvency. After giving effect to the Transactions and any contribution provisions contained

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Oil and Gas Properties (and Properties unitized therewith) of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries have been maintained, operated and developed in a good and workmanlike manner and in
conformity with all Governmental Requirements and in conformity with the provisions of all leases, subleases or other contracts comprising a part of the Oil and Gas Properties and other contracts and agreements forming a part of the Oil and Gas
Properties of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries. Specifically in connection with the foregoing, except for those as could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) no Oil and Gas Property of the Borrower or
any Restricted Subsidiary is subject to having allowable production reduced below the full and regular allowable (including the maximum permissible tolerance) because of any overproduction (whether or not the same was permissible at the time) and
(b) none of the wells comprising a part of the Oil and Gas Properties (or Properties unitized therewith) of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries is deviated from the vertical more than the maximum permitted by Governmental Requirements,
and such wells are, in fact, bottomed under and are producing from, and the well bores are wholly within, the Oil and Gas Properties (or in the case of wells located on Properties unitized therewith, such unitized Properties) of the Borrower and the
Restricted Subsidiaries. The wells drilled in respect of proved producing Oil and Gas Properties described in the Reserve Report (other than wells drilled in respect of such proved producing Oil and Gas Properties that have been subsequently
Disposed of in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) are capable of, and are presently, either producing Hydrocarbons in commercially profitable quantities or in the process of being worked over or enhanced, and the Credit Party that owns
such proved producing Oil and Gas Properties is currently receiving payments for its share of production, with no funds in respect of any thereof being presently held in suspense, other than any such funds being held in suspense pending delivery of
appropriate division orders. All pipelines, wells, gas processing plants, platforms and other material improvements, fixtures and equipment owned in whole or in part by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that are necessary to conduct normal
operations are being maintained in a state adequate to conduct normal operations, and with respect to such of the foregoing which are operated by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, in a manner consistent with the past practices of the
Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than those the failure of which to maintain in accordance with this Section 3.19 could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). 

Section 3.20    Foreign Corrupt Practices; OFAC. 

(a)    No Credit Party, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of any Credit Party is aware of or has
taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a material violation by such Persons of the FCPA, including without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of
an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA)
or any foreign political party or official thereof or any

candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA; and, the Credit Parties and their Affiliates have conducted their business in material compliance with the FCPA and have
instituted and maintained policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith. 

(b)    No Credit Party, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of any Credit Party is currently subject
to any material U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC, and the Borrower will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds from the Loans or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, Affiliate, joint venture partner
or other Person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC. 

Section 3.21    USA PATRIOT Act. The Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material
respects with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of (including any laws relating to terrorism, money laundering, embargoed persons or the Act), and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all governmental bodies, domestic or foreign, in
respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including, without limitation, applicable statutes, regulations, orders and restrictions relating to environmental standards and controls). 

Section 3.22    Security Interest in Collateral. 

(a)    The provisions of the Mortgages create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral described therein in favor of the
Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and when the Mortgages are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.22 (in the case of Mortgages to be executed and delivered on the Effective Date) or in the recording office
designated by the Borrower (in the case of any Mortgage to be executed and delivered pursuant to Section 5.12), each Mortgage shall constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Borrower’s and the Restricted
Subsidiaries’ right, title and interest in the Collateral described therein, securing the Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Credit Party and all third parties, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral, subject to
the Intercreditor Agreement and Permitted Prior Liens. 
 (b)    Each of the Pledge Agreement and the Security Agreement
creates legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral described therein in favor of the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule
3.22 at any time, each of the Pledge Agreement and the Security Agreement shall constitute perfected and continuing Liens on each Credit Party’s right, title and interest in the Collateral described therein, securing the Obligations,
enforceable against the applicable Credit Party and all third parties, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except for Liens permitted by Section 6.02.

restrictions contained in contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from the value of, or from the ability of the Borrower and the

(7)    any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to provisions with respect to the disposition or

compliance with this provision) and amendments, modifications, supplements, extensions or renewals of such agreements from time to time, so long as any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension or renewal is not more disadvantageous to the

Loan Document, such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Lenders that consent, waive or agree to amend any comparable provisions of the Loan Documents and (b) in the case

 ARTICLE VII 

GUARANTEE OF OBLIGATIONS 

Section 7.01    Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the punctual payment of all Obligations now or which may in the future be owing by any Credit Party (the “Guaranteed Liabilities”). This Guarantee is a guaranty of payment
and not of collection only. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to exhaust any right or remedy or take any action against the Borrower or any other Person or any collateral. The Guaranteed Liabilities include interest accruing after the
commencement of a proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of any jurisdiction at the rate or rates provided in the Loan Documents, regardless of whether such interest is an allowed claim. Each Guarantor agrees that, as between the
Guarantor and the Administrative Agent, the Guaranteed Liabilities may be declared to be due and payable for the purposes of this Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition which may prevent, delay or vitiate any declaration
as regards the Borrower or any other Guarantor and that in the event of a declaration or attempted declaration, the Guaranteed Liabilities shall immediately become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee. 

Section 7.02    Guarantee Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Liabilities shall be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (a) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of
the Loan Documents or the Guaranteed Liabilities, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any of the terms of any Loan Document or Guaranteed Liability, including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon;
(b) any release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty or support document, or any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, for all or any of the Loan
Documents or Guaranteed Liabilities; (c) any present or future law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction (whether of right or in fact) or of any agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend, restructure or otherwise affect any term of any Loan
Document or Guaranteed Liability; (d) without being limited by the foregoing, any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or Guaranteed Liability; and (e) any other setoff, defense or counterclaim whatsoever (in any case,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) with respect to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby which might constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of, the Borrower or a Guarantor. 

Section 7.03    Guarantee Irrevocable. This Guarantee is a continuing guaranty of the payment of all
Guaranteed Liabilities now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all Guaranteed 

  

					
		 	129	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 
Liabilities and other amounts payable hereunder and until this Agreement are no longer in effect or, if earlier, when the Guarantor has given the Administrative Agent written notice that this
Guarantee has been revoked; provided that any notice under this Section shall not release the revoking Guarantor from any Guaranteed Liability, absolute or contingent, existing prior to the Administrative Agent’s actual receipt of
the notice at its branches or departments responsible for this Agreement and reasonable opportunity to act upon such notice. 

Section 7.04    Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party on the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, or any other Credit Party, or otherwise, all as
though the payment had not been made. 
 Section 7.05    Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any
rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation, by any payment made under this Guarantee or otherwise, until all the Guaranteed Liabilities have been paid in full and this Agreement is no longer in effect. If any amount is paid to the Guarantor
on account of subrogation rights under this Guarantee at any time when all the Guaranteed Liabilities have not been paid in full, the amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall be promptly paid to the Administrative Agent
to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured or absolute or contingent, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Guarantor makes payment to the Administrative Agent or Lenders of all or any
part of the Guaranteed Liabilities and all the Guaranteed Liabilities are paid in full and this Agreement is no longer in effect, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall, at such Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to such Guarantor
appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Liabilities resulting from the payment. 

Section 7.06    Subordination. Without limiting the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under
any other agreement, any liabilities owed by the Borrower to any Guarantor in connection with any extension of credit or financial accommodation by any Guarantor to or for the account of the Borrower, including but not limited to interest accruing
at the agreed contract rate after the commencement of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, are hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Liabilities, and such liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent so requests, shall
be collected, enforced and received by any Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Liabilities but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of
the Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guarantee. 
 Section 7.07    Payments Generally. All
payments by the Guarantors shall be made in the manner, at the place and in the currency (the “Payment Currency”) required by the Loan Documents; provided, however, that (if the Payment Currency is other than Dollars)
any Guarantor may, at its option (or, if for any reason whatsoever any Guarantor is unable to effect payments in the foregoing manner, such Guarantor shall be obligated to) pay to the Administrative Agent at its principal office the equivalent
amount in Dollars computed at the selling rate of the Administrative Agent or a selling rate chosen by the Administrative Agent, 

  

					
		 	130	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 
most recently in effect on or prior to the date the Guaranteed Liability becomes due, for cable transfers of the Payment Currency to the place where the Guaranteed Liability is payable. In any
case in which any Guarantor makes or is obligated to make payment in Dollars, the Guarantor shall hold the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from any loss incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising from any change in the
value of Dollars in relation to the Payment Currency between the date the Guaranteed Liability becomes due and the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender is actually able, following the conversion of the Dollars paid by such Guarantor into the
Payment Currency and remittance of such Payment Currency to the place where such Guaranteed Liability is payable, to apply such Payment Currency to such Guaranteed Liability. 

Section 7.08    Setoff. Each Guarantor agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of
setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be entitled, at its option, to offset balances (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) held by it for the account of any Guarantor at any office of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any amount payable by such Guarantor under this Guarantee which is not paid when due
(regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Guarantor), in which case it shall promptly notify such Guarantor thereof; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to give such notice shall not affect the
validity thereof. 
 Section 7.09    Formalities. Each Guarantor waives presentment, notice of dishonor,
protest, notice of acceptance of this Guarantee or incurrence of any Guaranteed Liability and any other formality with respect to any of the Guaranteed Liabilities or this Guarantee. 

Section 7.10    Limitations on Guarantee. The provisions of the Guarantee under this
Article VII are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally,
if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guarantee would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability under this Guarantee, then, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Guarantee to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and
enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 7.10, with respect to the Maximum
Liability of the Guarantors, is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any
right or claim under this Section 7.10 with respect to the Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that none of the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder shall be rendered voidable under applicable law.

 (g)    an involuntary proceeding shall be
commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (1) liquidation, reorganization or other relief in respect of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or its debts, or of a substantial part of its assets, under any Federal, state

purported to be granted under any Loan Document on Collateral, individually or in the aggregate, having a fair market value in excess of $18,000,000, ceases to be an enforceable and perfected first-priority Lien, subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement and Permitted Prior Liens; provided that if such failure is susceptible to cure, no Event of Default shall arise with respect thereto until forty-five (45) days after any officer of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary
becomes aware of such failure, which failure has not been cured during such time period; or 
 (3)    the
Borrower or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any of them, denies or disaffirms, in writing, any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor set forth in or arising under any Loan Document establishing Junior Priority Liens; or 

(n)    a Change of Control shall occur; 

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary described in clause
(g) or (h) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Majority Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the
following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which
case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon (which shall be payable in
cash) and all fees and other obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Premium (including any Make-Whole Amount)) of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand,
protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and
the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon (which shall be payable in cash) and all fees and other obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Premium (including


  

					
		 	134	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 
any Make-Whole Amount)) of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
waived by the Borrower. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Trustee and each Lender may protect and
enforce its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by any appropriate proceedings, including proceedings for specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Trustee and each Lender may enforce payment of any Obligations due and payable hereunder or enforce any other legal or equitable right and remedies which it may have. 

ARTICLE IX 
 THE
AGENTS 
 Section 9.01    Appointment and Authority. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Trustee (for purposes of this Article IX, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Trustee are referred to as an “Agent” and collectively as the
“Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to (a) execute any and all documents (including releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents
reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral to the extent such sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms hereof or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents) with
respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Lenders with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Instruments, the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement and
(b) negotiate, enforce or the settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender. 

Section 9.02    Rights as a Lender. The institution serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral
Trustee hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender 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 the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder. 

Section 9.03    Exculpatory Provisions. 

(a)    No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, (1) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (2) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary
action or 

  

					
		 	135	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Majority Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (3) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose,
nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Trustee or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity. 
 (b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, (i) no Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent, instruction, direction or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary
under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02); and (ii) no Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a
Lender. 
 (c)    No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (1) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (2) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (3) the performance or observance of any
of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (4) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (5) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. 

(d)    No Agent shall be responsible for (i) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the
security interest or Lien granted under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the filing, re-filing, recording, re-recording or continuing or any document, financing statement, Mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance or other instrument in any public office at any time or times or (iii) providing,
maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to any of the Collateral. The actions described in items (i) through (iii) shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower. 

(e)    No Agent shall be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military
disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; business interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority and governmental action.

		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 (f)    No Agent shall be (i) required to qualify in any jurisdiction in
which it is not presently qualified to perform its obligations as such Agent or (ii) required to take any enforcement action against a Credit Party or any other obligor outside of the United States. 

Section 9.04    Reliance by Agent. Each Agent 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each
Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the 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. 
 Section 9.05    Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all its
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties
and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of Sections 9.03, 9.04 and 9.05 shall apply to any such sub-agent and
to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities
as Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and
non-appealable judgment that the applicable Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents. 

Section 9.06    Resignation of Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the
Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders 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, 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. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such
Administrative Agent, such Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective immediately, such retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, and the Majority Lenders shall thereafter
perform all the duties of such Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent. 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. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be
the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03
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
acting as Administrative Agent.

 Section 9.07    Non-Reliance
on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender 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 also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender 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 or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

Section 9.08    Right to Request and Act on Instructions. The Administrative Agent may at any time request
instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents the Administrative Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly
requested, the Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval
under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Majority Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Person shall have any
right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders
(or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of the Majority Lenders (or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation
to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate applicable law or exposes the Administrative Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.03.

to the e-mail address of a representative of the applicable Person provided from time to time by such Person. 

The Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has
not been provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, that it will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article V, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any
such communication that (a) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (b) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or (c) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such
non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format
acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent. 

  

					
		 	139	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to
the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the
“Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its
securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall
mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not
containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, that to the extent such Borrower
Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.14); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform
designated as “Public Investor” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as
“Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents, (2) notification of changes in the terms of the Credit Facilities and (3) all financial statements and accompanying information and certificates
delivered pursuant to Section 5.01. 
 Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf
of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such
Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the
Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES
WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING 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 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED
PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY RESTRICTED PERSON, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR
NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, 

  

					
		 	140	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 
CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY RESTRICTED PERSON’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF
ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its
e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as
provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the
Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the
foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 
 Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document. 

Section 10.02    Waivers; Amendments. 

(a)    No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender in exercising
any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document 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 Collateral Trustee and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document 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 consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
clause (b) of this Section 10.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Collateral Trustee may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b)    Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any other provision hereof or thereof may be
waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Credit Party or Credit Parties that are party thereto, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders or by the Credit Party or Credit
Parties that are party thereto and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Majority Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall: 

(1)    increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (including any such
Lender that is a Defaulting Lender); 

  

					
		 	141	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 (2)    reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or
reduce the rate of interest thereon, reduce the Applicable Premium, the Make-Whole Amount or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender
other than fees to which such Defaulting Lender is not entitled to receive as a result of being a Defaulting Lender) affected thereby; 

(3)    postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any date for the
payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations 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 (including any such
Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) affected thereby (it being understood that waiver of a mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a postponement or waiver of a scheduled payment or date of expiration); 

(4)    change Section 2.07, Section 2.08,
Section 2.13(a), Section 2.13(b), Section 2.13(c) or Section 2.13(e) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared,
without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender); 

(5)    change Section 2.13(b) or Section 10.02(b)(5) in
any material respect without the consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender); 

(6)    change any of the provisions of this Section 10.02(b), 10.02(c) or
the definition of “Majority Lender”, “Super-Majority Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify
any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby; 

(7)    change the definition of “Change of Control” without the written consent of Super-Majority Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender); 

(8)    release any Guarantor from its obligation under its Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein
or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender); or 

(9)    except as provided in Article IX or in any Security Instrument, release
all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender); 
 provided
further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Trustee hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Trustee, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent may also amend Schedule 2.01 to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 10.04.

		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 (c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Intercreditor
Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement may be amended in accordance with their terms, including to add additional Indebtedness as Senior Priority Lien Debt, Priority Lien Debt, Junior Priority Lien Debt or Junior Lien Debt and add other
parties (or any authorized agent thereof or trustee therefor) holding such Indebtedness thereto and to establish that the Liens on any Collateral securing such Indebtedness shall rank equally with the Liens on such Collateral securing the other
Senior Priority Lien Debt, Priority Lien Debt, Junior Priority Lien Debt or Junior Lien Debt, as applicable, then outstanding. 

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.02, the
Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to correct any clerical errors or cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency. 

Section 10.03    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a)    The Borrower shall pay (1) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Trustee and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Trustee, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (2) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its
rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. 
 (b)    THE CREDIT
PARTIES SHALL INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE AND EACH LENDER, AND EACH RELATED PARTY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN “INDEMNITEE”) AGAINST, AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE
HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSES, INCLUDING THE 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 (1) 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, (2) ANY LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM, (3) ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED PRESENCE OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE BORROWER
OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, OR ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY RELATED IN ANY 

  

					
		 	143	 	EXCO Resources, Inc.
		 		 	1.75 Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement









 
WAY TO THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, OR (4) 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 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 ARE
DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE. 

(c)    To the extent that any Credit Party fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Trustee under clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 10.03, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Trustee, as the case may be, such Lender’s
pro rata share of such unpaid amount with respect to the amounts to be paid to the Collateral Trustee and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such unpaid amount with respect to amounts to be paid to the Administrative Agent (in each case,
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 the Collateral Trustee in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of outstanding Loans (or, if
all Loans have been paid in full, the aggregate remaining Obligations), determined as if no Lender were a Defaulting Lender). 

(d)    TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE CREDIT PARTIES SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVE, ANY CLAIM
AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, 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, THE TRANSACTIONS, ANY LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF. 
 (e)    All amounts due

respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and
any attempted assignment or transfer by such Credit Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in

and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section 10.04) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b)     

(1)    Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(2) below, any Lender may assign to one or
more Eligible 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) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent and the Backstop Commitment Parties. 

(2)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(i)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents); 

(ii)    each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of such Lender’s Commitment and such Lender’s Loans under this Agreement; 

(iii)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment
and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; 
 (iv)    the assignee, if it
shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and 

(v)    each assignment shall be subject to the exercise of the Right of First Refusal by the Backstop
Commitment Parties, as set forth in Section 10.04(f). 
 For the purposes of this Section 10.04(b), the

 (3)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant
to clause (b)(4) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to
be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.11, Section 2.12 and Section 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this Section 10.04 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 clause (c) of this
Section 10.04 except that any attempted assignment or transfer by any Lender that does not comply with clause (C) of Section 10.04(b)(ii) shall be null and void. 

(4)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one
of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment and Applicable Percentage of, and principal amount of the Loans 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 the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent 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 the Credit Parties and any
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (5)    Upon its
receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption 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 clause (b) of this Section 10.04 any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 10.04, the Administrative Agent
shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.05, Section 2.13(d) or Section 10.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information
therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon (which shall be payable in cash). No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (b).

 (c)     

(1)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations
to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided
that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent 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. 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 the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11 and 2.12 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under
Section 2.12(d) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.12(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12 as if it were an assignee under
clause (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11 or Section 2.12, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been
entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. 

(2)    (ii) To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting
solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the 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 or its other obligations under any Loan Document) 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. The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

 (d)    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, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, 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. 
 (e)    Borrower Buybacks. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to (i) the Right of First Refusal and (ii) approval by a majority of the Holders (as defined in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture) of the aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding
Senior Secured Notes or payment of the Priority Lien Obligations, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its Loans on a non-pro rata basis to the Borrower in accordance with procedures to be
agreed, pursuant to an offer made by the Borrower available to all Lenders on a pro rata basis (a “Dutch Auction”), subject to the following limitations: 

(1)    the Borrower shall represent and warrant, as of the date of the launch of the Dutch Auction and on
the date of any such assignment, that neither it, its Affiliates nor any of its respective directors or officers has any Excluded Information that has not been disclosed to the Lenders generally (other than to the extent any such Lender does not
wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities) prior to such date; 

(2)    immediately and automatically, without any further action on the part of the Borrower, any Lender,
the Administrative Agent or any other Person, upon the effectiveness of such assignment of Loans from a Lender to the Borrower, such Loans and all rights and obligations as a Lender related thereto shall, for all purposes under this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and otherwise, be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid (together with the payment of any applicable Premium (including any Make-Whole Amount)), terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect and the Borrower
shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such assignment; 

(3)    the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Loans for any such assignment; and 

(4)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing before or immediately after
giving effect to such assignment. 
 (f)    Right of First Refusal of Backstop Commitment Parties. 

(1)    Grant. The Borrower and each Lender hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants (and the
Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees to such grant) to each Backstop Commitment Party, in accordance with its ROFR Applicable Percentage, a Right of First Refusal, from and after the Effective Date until the Term Loan Maturity Date.

 (2)    Notice and Forfeiture. In connection with the
consent solicitation required to be delivered to the Backstop Commitment Parties pursuant to Section 10.04(b)(1) above, an assigning Lender must deliver all assignment documentation providing for any proposed assignment of 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) to the Backstop Commitment Parties. Such delivered assignment documentation shall consist of a completed, but
unexecuted or unsigned, Assignment and Assumption, identifying, among other things, the material terms and conditions (including the price and form of consideration) of the proposed assignment and the identity of the Eligible Assignee(s). To
exercise its Right of First Refusal under this Section, the applicable Backstop Commitment Party must deliver a ROFR Notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days after receipt of the consent solicitation and assignment documentation
required to be delivered to the Backstop Commitment Parties under Section 10.04(b)(1) and this subsection (f)(2). The applicable accepting Backstop Commitment Party, if any, shall consummate the proposed assignment in accordance with
its ROFR Applicable Percentage, within a reasonable period of time following delivery of the ROFR Notice to the Administrative Agent, and in no event more than fifteen (15) calendar days following such delivery, or as otherwise agreed between
the applicable accepting Backstop Commitment Party and the assigning Lender. Upon receipt of such ROFR Notice, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of such ROFR Notice to the applicable Lender(s) and Eligible Assignee(s). Failure to deliver
a ROFR Notice within the time period provided for in this subsection will result in the forfeiture of the applicable Backstop Commitment Party’s exercise of the Right of First Refusal as it applies to the proposed assignment which occasioned
its application and will otherwise authorize the consummation of the proposed assignment, on the terms provided to the Backstop Commitment Parties, between the applicable Lender(s) and Eligible Assignee(s). 

Section 10.05    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Credit
Parties 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, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Trustee 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 and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.11, Section 2.12 and Section 10.03 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 Commitments or the
termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 Section 10.06    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, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements

CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have

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 or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.07    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 10.08    Right of Setoff. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of any Credit Party 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. The rights of each Lender under this
Section 10.08 and Section 7.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with

with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act. 

Section 10.15    Flood Insurance Regulation. Notwithstanding any provision in any Mortgage to the contrary,

Mortgage. As used herein, “Flood Insurance Regulations” shall mean (i) the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 as now or hereafter in effect or any successor statute thereto, (ii) the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 as now
or hereafter in effect or any successor statue thereto, (iii) the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (amending 42 USC 4001, et seq.), as the same may be amended or recodified from time to time, and (iv) the Flood Insurance Reform

 Section 10.16    No Fiduciary Duty. In
connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower and each other Credit Party acknowledges and agrees
that: (a) (1) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and by any lead arranger, syndication agent, documentation agent or similar agent hereunder, the Collateral Trustee, and the
Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 10.16, the “Lenders”) are arm’s-length commercial transactions
between the Borrower, each other Credit Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the other agents, the Collateral Trustee and the Lenders, on the other hand, (2) each of the Borrower and the other
Credit Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (3) the Borrower and each other Credit Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms,

their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (2) neither the Administrative Agent, any other agent, the Collateral Trustee nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower, any
other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent, the other
agents, the Collateral Trustee and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates,
and neither the Administrative Agent, any other agent, the Collateral Trustee nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates. The Administrative
Agent, the other agents, the Collateral Trustee and the Lenders may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Credit Party, for
itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, agrees that nothing in this Agreement or the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Administrative
Agent, the other agents, the Collateral Trustee and any Lender, on the one hand, and any Credit Party or its Subsidiaries, their stockholders or their affiliates, on the other. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrower and each
other Credit Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the other agents, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection
with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. Each Credit Party, for itself and its Subsidiaries, agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to
such Credit Party or Subsidiary, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Administrative Agent to enter into the Collateral Trust Agreement (including any and all amendments, amendments and restatements, modifications, supplements and acknowledgements thereto permitted hereby from time to time) as Administrative Agent and
(2) the Collateral Trustee to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement (including, in each case, any and all amendments, amendments and restatements, modifications, supplements and acknowledgements thereto
permitted hereby from time to time) as Collateral Trustee, in each case, on behalf of such Lender, and by its acceptance of the benefits of the Security Instruments, hereby acknowledges and agrees to be bound by all such provisions. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Trustee acknowledges that the Lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the Security Instruments and the exercise of any right
or remedy by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Trustee thereunder, are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement. In the event of a conflict or any inconsistency between the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Security Instruments, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Trust Agreement, as applicable, shall prevail. In the event of a conflict or any
