Maximum Credit Amount increases or decreases for any reason (whether pursuant to Section 2.06(c), Section 12.04(b) or otherwise) or if any Restricted Subsidiary hereafter becomes a Borrower pursuant to Section 8.14(c), the Borrowers
shall deliver or cause to be delivered on the effective date of such increase or decrease (or the effective date of such Restricted Subsidiary becoming a Borrower, if applicable), a new Note payable to the order of such Lender (or all Lenders in the
case of a joinder of a new Borrower) in a principal amount equal to its Maximum Credit Amount after giving effect to such increase or decrease (if applicable), and otherwise duly completed, and each such Lender receiving a new Note agrees to
promptly thereafter return the previously issued Note held by such Lender marked canceled or otherwise similarly defaced. The date, amount, Type, interest rate and, if applicable, Interest Period of each Loan made by each Lender, and all payments
made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books for its Note, and, prior to any transfer, may be endorsed by such Lender on a schedule attached to such Note or any continuation thereof or on any separate
record maintained by such Lender. Failure to make any such notation or to attach a schedule shall not affect any Lenders or any Borrowers rights or obligations in respect of such Loans or affect the validity of such transfer by any
Lender of its Note.

(d) Notice to
Lenders by the Administrative Agent. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lenders portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) Effect of Failure to Deliver Timely Interest Election Request and Events of Default on Interest Election. If the Borrowers
fail to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing (and
any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective) and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.05 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer
of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Chicago, Illinois time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the
Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower Representative maintained with the Administrative Agent and designated by the Borrower Representative in the applicable Borrowing Request;
provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.08(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank that made such LC Disbursement.

(b) Presumption of Funding by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lenders share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with Section 2.05(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made
available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lenders
Loan included in such Borrowing.

Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders on May 1st (or such date promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable based on the engineering and other information available to the Lenders) and November 1st (or such date promptly thereafter as
reasonably practicable based on the engineering and other information available to the Lenders) of each year, commencing November 1, 2010.

(ii) The Administrative Agent may, or at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, by notifying the Borrowers (or the
Borrower Representative) thereof, one time between Scheduled Redeterminations, elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined between Scheduled Redeterminations in accordance with this Section 2.07.

(iii) The Borrowers may, not more than one time between Scheduled
Redeterminations, elect to have the Borrowing Base redetermined in accordance with this Section 2.07.

(iv) The Administrative Agent may elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined at such times set forth in
Section 9.12 in connection with terminations of Swap Agreements (including, as applicable, any trade confirmations made pursuant thereto) in respect of commodities (an Optional Swap Unwind Redetermination).

(c) Scheduled, Interim and Optional Swap Unwind Redetermination Procedure.

(i) Each Scheduled Redetermination, each Interim Redetermination and each Optional Swap Unwind Redetermination shall be
effectuated as follows: upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of (A) the Reserve Report and the certificate required to be delivered by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative), in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, pursuant to
Section 8.12(a) and (c), and, in the case of an Interim Redetermination or an Optional Swap Unwind Redetermination, pursuant to Section 8.12(b) and (c), and (B) such other reports, data and supplemental information, including, without
limitation, the information provided pursuant to Section 8.12(c), as may, from time to time, be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (the Reserve Report, such certificate and such other reports, data and
supplemental information being the Engineering Reports), the Administrative Agent shall evaluate the information contained in the Engineering Reports and shall, in good faith, propose a new Borrowing Base (the Proposed
Borrowing Base) based upon such information and such other information (including, without limitation, the status of title information with respect to the proved Oil and Gas Properties as described in the Engineering Reports, the existence
of any other Debt, the Borrowers other assets, liabilities, fixed charges, cash flow, business, properties, prospects, management and ownership, hedged and unhedged exposure to price, price and production scenarios, interest rate and operating
cost changes) as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate in its sole discretion and consistent with its normal oil and gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time. In no event shall the Proposed Borrowing Base exceed the Aggregate
Maximum Credit Amount.

(ii) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative)
and the Lenders of the Proposed Borrowing Base (the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice) after the Administrative Agent has received complete Engineering Reports from the Borrowers and has had a reasonable opportunity to determine the
Proposed Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.07(c)(i).

(iii) Any Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base
then in effect must be approved by all of the Lenders as provided in this Section 2.07(c)(iii); and any Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved by the Required Lenders as
provided in this Section 2.07(c)(iii). Upon receipt of the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice, each Lender shall have fifteen (15) days (or such longer period as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) (Review
Period) to agree with the Proposed Borrowing Base or disagree with the Proposed Borrowing Base, by proposing an alternate Borrowing Base (an Alternate Borrowing Base). If at the end of such Review Period, any Lender has
not communicated its approval or disapproval in writing to the Administrative Agent, such silence shall be deemed to be a disapproval of the Proposed Borrowing Base. If, at the end of such Review Period, all of the Lenders, in the case of a Proposed
Borrowing Base or Alternate Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, or the Required Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base or Alternate Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then
in effect, have approved, as aforesaid, then the Proposed Borrowing Base or Alternate Borrowing Base, as applicable, shall become the new Borrowing Base effective on the date specified in Section 2.07(e). If, however, at the end of such Review
Period, all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, have not approved, as aforesaid, then the Administrative Agent shall (A) notify the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) of the Proposed Borrowing Base or Alternate Borrowing
Base, as applicable, and which Lenders have not approved of the Proposed Borrowing Base or Alternate Borrowing Base and (B) poll the Lenders to ascertain the highest Borrowing Base then acceptable to a number of Lenders sufficient to constitute
the Required Lenders for purposes of this Section 2.07 and, so long as such amount does not increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in Section 2.07(e). In
no event shall the new approved Borrowing Base exceed the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount.

(d) Automatic Debt Issuance
Redeterminations. In addition to the other redeterminations of the Borrowing Base provided for herein, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrowing Base shall automatically reduce on any Debt Issuance Date by an
amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate stated principal amount of any Additional Permitted Debt issued or incurred by the Credit Parties on such Debt Issuance Date. For the purposes of this Section 2.07(d), if any such
Additional Permitted Debt is issued at a discount or otherwise sold for less than par, the reduction shall be calculated based upon the stated principal amount without reference to such discount.

(e) Effectiveness of a Redetermined Borrowing Base. After a redetermined Borrowing Base is approved by all of the Lenders or the
Required Lenders, or otherwise automatically adjusted, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(iii) or Section 2.07(d), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Lenders of the amount of
the redetermined Borrowing Base (the New Borrowing Base Notice), and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective and applicable to the Borrowers, the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders:

(i) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, (A) if the Administrative Agent shall have
received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on the May 1st (or such date promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable) or
November 1st(or such date promptly thereafter as
reasonably practicable), as applicable, following (or as set forth in) such notice, or (B) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 8.12(a)
and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice;

(ii) in the case of an Interim Redetermination, or an Optional Swap Unwind
Redetermination, on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice;

(iii) in the case of an
Automatic Debt Issuance Redetermination, on the applicable Debt Issuance Date.

Such amount shall then become the Borrowing Base until the
next Scheduled Redetermination Date, the next Interim Redetermination Date, the next Optional Swap Unwind Redetermination Date, the next Debt Issuance Date, or the next adjustment to the Borrowing Base under Section 8.13(c), whichever occurs
first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Scheduled Redetermination, Interim Redetermination, or Optional Swap Unwind Redetermination shall become effective until the New Borrowing Base Notice related thereto is received by the Borrowers (or Borrower
Representative).

Section 2.08 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) may request any
Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit in dollars for its own account or for the account of any Borrower, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability
Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) to, or
entered into by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if
the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank or any Governmental Requirement.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have
been issued hereunder as of the Effective Date. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall hand deliver or telecopy (or
transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to any Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (not less than three (3) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension) a notice: (i) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit or identifying the outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to be amended, renewed or extended; (ii) specifying the date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) specifying the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.08(c)); (iv) specifying the amount of such Letter of
Credit; (v) specifying the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit; and (vi) specifying the amount of the then effective
Borrowing Base, the current total Credit Exposures of all of the Lenders (without regard to the requested Letter of Credit or the requested amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit) and the pro forma total Credit Exposures
of all of the Lenders (giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit or the requested amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit). If requested by any Issuing Bank, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall submit a
letter of credit application on such Issuing Banks standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and with respect to each notice provided by the
Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) above and any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension (A) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Commitment and (B) the total Credit Exposures of all of the Lenders shall not exceed the total Commitments of all of the Lenders (i.e. the lesser of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts
and the then effective Borrowing Base).

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal, which renewal may be provided for in the initial Letter of Credit, or extension thereof, one year after
such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d)
Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to an existing Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank that issues such Letter of Credit or the
Lenders, each Issuing Bank that issues a Letter of Credit hereunder hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lenders Applicable Percentage of
the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of any Issuing
Bank that issues a Letter of Credit hereunder, such Lenders Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.08(e), or of any
reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.08(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that
each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement.
If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not
later than 12:00 noon, Chicago, Illinois time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on such date,
or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago, Illinois time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrowers (or Borrower
Representative) receive such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) receive
such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrowers shall, subject to the conditions to Borrowing set forth herein, be deemed to have requested, and the Borrowers do hereby request
under such circumstances, that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR
Borrowing. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lenders Applicable
Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect
to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit the amounts
so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.08(e), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank that
issued such Letter of Credit or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.08(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a
Lender pursuant to this Section 2.08(e) to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their joint and several
obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in Section 2.08(e) shall be joint and several, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and
irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank against presentation of a
draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit Agreement, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the
provisions of this Section 2.08(f), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Borrowers obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of
their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances
referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a
drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to
the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such
Issuing Banks failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised all requisite care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without
limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit may, in
its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such
documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify (prior to making any such disbursement) the Administrative Agent and the
Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice
shall not relieve the Borrowers of their joint and several obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, until the Borrowers shall have reimbursed such
Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement (either with its own funds or a Borrowing under Section 2.08(e)), the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the
date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.08(h) shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and
after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced or resign at any time by written agreement among the
Borrowers (or Borrower Representative), the Administrative Agent, such resigning or replaced Issuing Bank and, in the case of a replacement, the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such resignation or
replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.05(b). In
the case of the replacement of an Issuing Bank, from and after the effective date of such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term Issuing Bank shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the
context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing and the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) receive notice from the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.08(j), (ii) the Borrowers are required to
pay to the Administrative Agent the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(c), or (iii) the Borrowers are required to cash collateralize a Defaulting Lenders LC Exposure
pursuant to Section 5.06(c)(ii), then the Borrowers shall deposit, in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to, (x) in the case of an
Event of Default, the LC Exposure, (y) in the case of a payment required by Section 3.04(c), the amount of such excess as provided in Section 3.04(c), as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (z) in the
case of a payment required by Section 5.06(c)(ii), the amount of such Defaulting Lenders LC Exposure; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become
immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Credit Party described in Section 10.01(g) or Section 10.01(h). The Borrowers hereby grant to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Bank and the Lenders, an exclusive first priority and continuing perfected security interest in and Lien on such account and all cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments, if any, from
time to time deposited or held in such account, all deposits or wire transfers made thereto, any and all investments purchased with funds deposited in such account, all interest, dividends, cash, instruments, financial assets and other Property from
time to time received, receivable or otherwise payable in respect of, or in exchange for, any or all of the foregoing, and all proceeds, products, accessions, rents, profits, income and benefits therefrom, and any substitutions and replacements
therefor. The Borrowers joint and several obligation to deposit amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08(j) shall be absolute and unconditional, without regard to whether any beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit has attempted to draw
down all or a portion of such amount under the terms of a Letter of Credit, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be subject to any defense or be affected by a right of set-off, counterclaim or recoupment which any Credit
Party may now or hereafter have against any such beneficiary, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person for any reason whatsoever. Such deposit shall be held as collateral securing the payment and performance of the
Credit Parties obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in a securities account (within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect from time to time in the State of New York, the
UCC) over which the Administrative Agent shall have control (within the meaning of the UCC). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) may direct the Administrative Agent and the
securities intermediary (within the meaning of the UCC) to invest amounts credited to the securities account, at the Borrowers risk and expense, in Investments described in Section 9.05(c) through (f). Interest or profits, if
any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse, on a pro rata basis, each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and,
to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the
Credit Parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, and the Borrowers are not otherwise required to
pay to the Administrative Agent the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(c), then such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid), which shall include interest or profits, if any,
on investments that may accumulate in such account as provided hereinabove, shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of
cash collateral hereunder as a result of the existence of a Defaulting Lender having LC Exposure, and the Borrowers are not otherwise required to provide cash collateral for any other purpose hereunder, then such amount of cash collateral provided,
which shall include interest or profits, if any, on investments that may accumulate in such account as provided hereinabove, shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after the first date on which such Defaulting Lenders LC
Exposure no longer exists or on which such Defaulting Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.09 Reliance on Notices; Appointment of Borrower Representative. The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Borrowing Request, Interest Election Request, request for Letter of Credit or similar notice believed by the Administrative Agent to be genuine.
The Administrative Agent may assume that each Person executing and delivering any notice in accordance herewith was duly authorized, unless the responsible individual acting thereon for the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary.
Parent and each Borrower hereby designates Chaparral as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of issuing Borrowing Requests, Interest Election Requests, receiving and disbursing proceeds of the Loans to the appropriate
Borrower, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders the
Loan Documents and all related agreements, certificates, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Loan Documents, and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on
behalf of any Credit Party under the Loan Documents. Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective officers, directors, agents or employees, shall not be liable to the
Borrower Representative or any Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.09. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other
communication pursuant to any Loan Document from Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Credit Parties, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Credit Party hereunder to Borrower
Representative on behalf of such Credit Party. Parent and each Borrower agree that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes
to have been made by such Credit Party and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Credit Party to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Credit Party. Each Borrower shall immediately notify the Borrower
Representative of the occurrence of any Default and stating that such notice is a notice of default. In the event that the Borrower Representative receives such a notice, the Borrower Representative shall give prompt notice thereof to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Any notice provided to the Borrower Representative hereunder shall constitute notice to each Borrower on the date received by the Borrower Representative. Upon the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower Representative may resign at any time, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Borrower Representative. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice of such resignation to the Lenders.

ARTICLE III

PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; PREPAYMENTS; FEES

Section 3.01 Repayment of Loans. The Borrowers hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, promise to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Termination Date.

Section 3.02 Interest.

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin,
but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.

(b) Eurodollar Loans. The Loans comprising each Eurodollar
Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.

(c) Post-Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuation of any Default, the Majority Lenders
may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower Representative (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Majority Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 12.02 requiring the consent of each Lender affected thereby
for reductions in interest rates), declare that all Loans and all interest in respect of Loans, fees or other amounts outstanding hereunder shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) any principal of or
interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
per annum equal to the Default Rate or (ii) any Event of Default occurs under Section 10.01(g) or Section 10.01(h), all Loans and all interest, fees or other amounts outstanding hereunder shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

for such Loan and on the Termination Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.02(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than an optional
prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan

(e) Interest Rate Computations. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), except that interest computed by reference to the
Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and be
binding upon the parties hereto.

Section 3.03 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as
promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that
requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing
(without giving effect to clause (c) of the definition of Alternate Base Rate contained herein).

Section 3.04 Prepayments.

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or
in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 3.04(b).

(b) Notice and Terms of Optional Prepayment.
The Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago,
Illinois time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago, Illinois time, on the Business Day of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable
and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied
ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02.

(c) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) If, after giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount pursuant to
Section 2.06(b), the total Credit Exposures of all of the Lenders exceeds the total Commitments of all of the Lenders, then the Borrowers shall (A) prepay the Borrowings on the date of such termination or reduction in an aggregate
principal amount equal to such excess, and (B) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as cash

(B) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as cash collateral as provided in

commitment fee, which shall accrue at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to but excluding the
Termination Date. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment
fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable
for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) Letter of Credit Fees.
The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall equal a percentage (being the same
Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans) of the average daily amount of such Lenders LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from
and including the date of this Agreement to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lenders Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, provided that in no event shall such fee be
less than $300 during any quarter, (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum of the average daily amount of such Lenders LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to
unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, provided that in
no event shall such fee be less than $300 during any quarter, and (iii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, its standard and customary fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by
such Issuing Bank or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees with respect to any Letter of Credit accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the
third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date of this Agreement; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the Termination Date and any such fees accruing after the Termination Date shall

excluding the last day).

(c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to
the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between or among the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, including the fees set forth in any separate fee letter.

Section 3.06 Joint and Several Liability; Rights of Contribution.

(a) Each Borrower states and acknowledges that: (i) pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrowers desire to utilize their borrowing
potential on a combined basis to the same extent possible if they were merged into a single corporate entity; (ii) each Borrower has determined that it will benefit specifically and materially from the advances of credit contemplated by this
Agreement; (iii) it is both a condition precedent to the obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and a desire of each Borrower that each Borrower execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders this
Agreement; and (iv) each Borrower has requested and bargained for the structure and terms of and security for the Borrowings contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders for the full and prompt payment and performance of the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement that may specify that a particular Borrower is responsible for a given payment or performance; (ii) agrees to fully
and promptly perform all of its obligations hereunder with respect to each advance of credit hereunder as if such advance had been made directly to it; and (iii) agrees as a primary obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, on demand, for and against any loss incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any of the obligations of any Borrower (the Subject Borrower) being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or
ineffective for any reason whatsoever, whether or not known to the Subject Borrower or any Person, the amount of such loss being the amount which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (or any of them) would otherwise have been entitled to recover
from the Borrowers.

(c) It is the intent of each Borrower that the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities
hereunder of no one of them be subject to challenge on any basis related to any federal or state law dealing with fraudulent conveyances or any other law related to transfers for less than fair or reasonably equivalent value. Accordingly, as of the
date hereof, the liability of each Borrower under this Section 3.06 together with all of its other liabilities to all Persons as of the date hereof and as of any other date on which a transfer is deemed to occur by virtue of this Agreement,
calculated in amounts sufficient to pay its probable net liabilities on its existing indebtedness as the same become absolute and matured (Dated Liabilities) is and is to be, less than the amount of the aggregate of a fair
valuation of its property as of such corresponding date (Dated Assets). To this end, each Borrower under this Section 3.06 (i) grants to and recognizes in each other Borrower ratably, rights of subrogation and
contribution in the amount, if any, by which the Dated Assets of such Borrower, but for the aggregate of subrogation and contribution in its favor recognized herein, would exceed the Dated Liabilities of such Borrower, and (ii) acknowledges
receipt of and recognizes its right to subrogation and contribution ratably from the other Borrowers in the amount, if any, by which the Dated Liabilities of such Borrower, but for the aggregate of subrogation and contribution in its favor
recognized herein, would exceed the Dated Assets of such Borrower under this Section 3.06. In recognizing the value of the Dated Assets and the Dated Liabilities, it is understood that each Borrower will recognize, to at least the same extent
of its aggregate recognition of liabilities hereunder, its rights to subrogation and contribution hereunder. It is a material objective of this Section 3.06 that each Borrower recognizes rights to subrogation and contribution rather than be
deemed to be insolvent (or in contemplation thereof) by reason of an arbitrary interpretation of its joint and several obligations hereunder.

(d) Each Borrower agrees and acknowledges that the present structure of the credit facilities detailed in this Agreement is based in part
upon the financial and other information presently known to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders regarding each Borrower, the corporate or other organizational structure of each Borrower, and the present financial condition of each Borrower.
Upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as it is continuing, each Borrower hereby agrees that the Majority Lenders shall have (in addition to any other right provided for in the Loan Documents) the right, in their sole credit
judgment, to require that any or all of the following changes be made to these credit facilities: (i) restrict loans and advances between the Borrowers, and (ii) establish such other procedures (in consultation with the Borrowers) as shall
be reasonably deemed by the Majority Lenders to be useful in tracking where Loans are made under this Agreement and the source of payments received by the Lenders on such Loans.

(e) Each Borrower waives any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to proceed against any other Person, exhaust any
Collateral or security for the Indebtedness, or to have any other Borrower or Credit Party joined with such Borrower in any suit arising out of the Indebtedness, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or pursue any other remedy in the
Administrative Agents or any Lenders power. Each Borrower further waives any and all notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension for any period of any of the Indebtedness
from time to time. Each Borrower further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense, other than the defense of payment, of any other Borrower or Credit Party or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the
liability of any other Borrower or Credit Party. Until all of the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, no Borrower shall have any right to subrogation and each Borrower waives the right to enforce any remedy which the Administrative Agent or
any Lender has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower or Credit Party, and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any other security whatsoever now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower authorizes the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, without notice or demand and without any reservation of rights against such Borrower and without affecting such Borrowers liability hereunder or on the Indebtedness, from time to time to (i) take or
hold any other Property of any type from any other Person as security for the Indebtedness, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of such other Property; (ii) renew, extend for any period, accelerate, modify, compromise, settle or
release any of the obligations of any other Borrower or Credit Party in respect to any or all of the Indebtedness or other security for the Indebtedness; (iii) waive, enforce, modify, amend or supplement any of the provisions of any Loan
Document with any Person other than such Borrower; and (iv) release or substitute any other Borrower or Credit Party.

ARTICLE IV

PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING OF SET-OFFS.

Section 4.01 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) Payments by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal,
interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Chicago, Illinois time, on the date when due, in dollars that constitute
immediately available funds, without defense, deduction, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Fees, once paid, shall not be refundable under any circumstances absent manifest error (e.g., as a result of a clerical mistake). 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 to the Administrative
Agent at its offices specified in Section 12.01, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and
Section 12.03 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) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are
received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then
due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements
of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of
such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment
obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to any Credit Party or Affiliate thereof (as to which the
provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall apply). The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against any Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 4.02 Presumption of Payment by the Borrowers. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume
that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in
fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 4.03 Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall
fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder then the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), for so long as such failure exists (i) apply any amounts thereafter received
by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lenders obligations hereunder 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 hereunder; in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

Section 4.04 Disposition of Proceeds. The Security Instruments
contain an assignment by the Credit Parties (as applicable) unto and in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of all of each Credit Partys, as applicable, interest in and to production and all proceeds
attributable thereto that may be produced from or allocated to the Collateral or, with respect to the Pledge Agreements, proceeds attributable to the pledge of Equity Interests thereunder. The Security Instruments further provide in general for the
application of such proceeds to the satisfaction of the Indebtedness and other obligations described therein and secured thereby. Notwithstanding the assignment contained in such Security Instruments, until the occurrence of an Event of Default,
(a) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will neither notify the purchaser or purchasers of such production nor take any other action to cause such proceeds attributable to such production to be remitted to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders, but the Lenders will instead permit such proceeds to be paid to the Borrowers and (b) the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds
attributable to production to be paid to the Borrowers.

ARTICLE V

INCREASED COSTS; BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS; TAXES; ILLEGALITY

Section 5.01 Increased Costs.

(a) Eurodollar Changes in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans
made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any
Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any
Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lenders or such Issuing Banks capital or on the capital of such Lenders or such Issuing Banks holding company,
if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such
Lenders or such Issuing Banks holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lenders or such Issuing Banks policies and the policies of such Lenders or such Issuing
Banks holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing
Bank or such Lenders or such Issuing Banks holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)
Certificates. A certificate of a Lender or any Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 5.01(a) or
(b) and reasonably detailed calculations therefor shall be delivered to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the
amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Effect of Failure or Delay in
Requesting Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lenders or such Issuing Banks right to demand
such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such
Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lenders or such Issuing Banks intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof.

Section 5.02 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) pursuant to Section 5.04(b), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have
accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor
(or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest
rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts
that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5.02 and reasonably detailed calculations therefor shall be delivered to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers
shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 5.03 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Credit Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum
payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03(a)), the Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Parent or such Borrower shall or shall cause such other Credit Party to make such deductions and (iii) Parent or such Borrower shall or shall cause such
other Credit Party to pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in

respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03) and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate of such Agent, a Lender or an
Issuing Bank as to the amount of such payment or liability under this Section 5.03 shall be delivered to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Failure or delay on the part of any Agent, Lender
or Issuing Bank to demand compensation under this Section 5.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Agents, Lenders or Issuing Banks right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be under any
obligation to compensate any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank under this Section 5.03(c) for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by an Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank more than 180 days prior to such Agents, Lenders or Issuing
Banks demand for compensation for such payment.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by a Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Foreign Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the

the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f) Tax Refunds. If an Agent or a Lender determines, in
its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03, it
shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 5.03 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of
all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrowers, upon the request of such Agent or
such Lender, jointly and severally agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such
Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 5.03 shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems
confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

Section 5.04 Mitigation Obligations.

(a) Designation of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, or if any Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, 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 5.01 or Section 5.03, 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 Borrowers hereby
jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender advises the Administrative Agent
that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate, as applicable, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its Loans pursuant to Section 3.03, (ii) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 5.01, (iii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, (iv) it becomes unlawful for any Lender to honor its
obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 5.05, (v) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (vi) any Lender has not approved an increase in the Borrowing Base proposed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.07(c)(iii), or (vii) in addition to the foregoing, in connection with any consent to or approval of any proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender or
the consent of each Lender affected thereby, the consent of the Supermajority Lenders shall have been obtained but any Lender has not so consented to or approved such proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release, then the Borrowers may, at their
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 Section 12.04(b)), 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 (1) if a Lender is removed as a Lender
hereunder, the Borrowers have paid such Lender all amounts due and owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all principal, accrued interest, fees and breakage costs, (2) in the case of a required
assignment of interest, the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (3) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (4) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.03, 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 Borrowers to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 5.05 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its applicable lending office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans either generally or having a particular Interest Period hereunder, then (a) such
Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Administrative Agent thereof and such Lenders obligation to make such Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (the Affected Loans) until such time
as such Lender may again make and maintain such Eurodollar Loans and (b) all Affected Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender shall be made instead as ABR Loans (and, if such Lender so requests by notice to the Borrowers (or Borrower
Representative) and the Administrative Agent, all Affected Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Affected Loans are so made
as (or converted into) ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lenders Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans.

(i) all or any part of such LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in
Section 6.02 are satisfied at such time;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above
cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize such Defaulting Lenders LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation
pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.08(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lenders LC Exposure pursuant to this
Section 5.06(c), the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lenders LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lenders LC
Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant
to this Section 5.06(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.05(a) and Section 3.05(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if any Defaulting Lenders LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this
Section 5.06(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such
Defaulting Lenders Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) under Section 3.05(a) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.05(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lenders LC Exposure shall be payable to the

(d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to
issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with
Section 5.06(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 5.06(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not
participate therein).

In the event that the Administrative Agent agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all
matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lenders Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the
other Lenders as the Administrative shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

Restricted Subsidiaries to have, (a) all insurance policies sufficient for the compliance by each of them with all material Governmental Requirements and all material agreements and (b) insurance coverage in at least 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. All premiums in respect of such insurance
policies, to the extent then due and payable, have been paid. Schedule 7.12 sets forth a description of all insurance maintained by or on behalf of Parent and the Borrowers as of the Effective Date.

Section 7.13 Restriction on Liens. Neither Parent, any Borrower nor any of their Restricted Subsidiaries is a party to any
material agreement or arrangement, or subject to any order, judgment, writ or decree, which either restricts or purports to restrict its ability to grant Liens to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on or in respect of their Properties to
secure the Indebtedness and the Loan Documents.

Section 7.14 Subsidiaries. Schedule 7.14 sets forth, as of

transferred in compliance with Section 9.12) and good title in all material respects to all its personal Properties, in each case, free and clear of all Liens except Liens permitted by Section 9.03. After giving full effect to the Excepted
Liens, a Credit Party specified as the owner owns the net interests in production attributable to the Hydrocarbon Interests as reflected in the most recently delivered Reserve Report, and the ownership of such Properties shall not in any material
respect obligate such Credit Party to bear the costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operations of each such Property in an amount in excess of the working interest of each Property set forth in the most recently delivered
Reserve Report that is not offset by a corresponding proportionate increase in such Credit Partys net revenue interest in such Property.

(b) All material leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of the
Credit Parties are valid and subsisting, in full force and effect, and there exists no default or event or circumstance which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would give rise to a default under any such lease or leases, which
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) The rights and Properties presently owned, leased or
licensed by the Credit Parties including, without limitation, all easements and rights of way, include all rights and Properties necessary to permit the Credit Parties to conduct their business in all material respects in the same manner as its
business has been conducted prior to the date hereof.

(e) Each Credit Party owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual Property
material to its business, and the use thereof by such Credit Party does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. The Credit Parties either own or have valid licenses or other rights to use all databases, geological data, geophysical data, engineering data, seismic data, maps, interpretations and other technical information used in
their businesses as presently conducted, subject to the limitations contained in the agreements governing the use of the same, which limitations are customary for companies engaged in the business of the exploration and production of Hydrocarbons,
with such exceptions as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

and workmanlike manner and in conformity with all Government Requirements and in conformity with the provisions of all leases, subleases or other contracts comprising a part of the Hydrocarbon Interests and other contracts and agreements forming a
part of the Oil and Gas Properties. 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 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) to the knowledge of Parent and the Borrowers, none of the
wells comprising a part of the Oil and Gas Properties (or Properties unitized therewith) is deviated from the vertical more than the maximum permitted by Government 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). All pipelines, wells, gas processing plants, platforms and other material improvements,
fixtures and equipment owned in whole or in part by the Credit Parties 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 that are operated
by any Credit Party, in a manner consistent with any such Credit Partys past practices (other than those the failure of which to maintain in accordance with this Section 7.17 could not reasonably be expect to have a Material Adverse
Effect).

including but not limited to the drilling, operating and acquisition of exploration and production properties or any other payments, in each case, to the extent permitted under this Agreement. No Credit Party is engaged principally, or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Board). No part of the proceeds of any

its obligations or in breach of any representations or warranties made by it thereunder. Each of the Private Placement Documents is a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each Credit Party that is a party thereto in accordance with its terms
and is in full force and effect. To the knowledge of Parent or any Borrower, (a) no party to any of the Private Placement Documents is in default of its obligations or in breach of any representations or warranties made by it thereunder, and

(a) As of the Effective Date, the Administrative Agent or its counsel shall have received satisfactory title information on at least 80%
of the total Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the Initial Reserve Report. Additionally, on or before the delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of each Reserve Report required by Section 8.12(a),
the Borrowers will deliver title information in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent covering enough of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report that were not included in the immediately preceding
Reserve Report, so that the Administrative Agent shall have received together with title information previously delivered, satisfactory title information on at least 80% of the total Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by
such Reserve Report.

(b) If the Borrowers have provided title information for additional Properties under
Section 8.13(a), the Borrowers shall, within 90 days of notice from the Administrative Agent that title defects or exceptions exist with respect to such additional Properties, either (i) cure any such title defects or exceptions (including
defects or exceptions as to priority) which are not permitted by Section 9.03 raised by such information, (ii) substitute acceptable Mortgaged Properties with no title defects or exceptions except for Excepted Liens (other than Excepted

(c) If the Borrowers are unable to cure any title defect requested to be cured within the 90-day period or the Borrowers do not comply
with the requirements to provide acceptable title information covering 80% of the total Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the most recent Reserve Report, such default shall not be a Default, but instead the
Administrative Agent and/or the Required Lenders shall have the right to exercise the following remedy in their sole discretion from time to time, and any failure to so exercise this remedy at any time shall not be a waiver as to future exercise of
the remedy by any Agent or the Lenders. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders are not satisfied with title to any Collateral after the 90-day period has elapsed, such unacceptable Collateral shall not count towards the
80% requirement, and the Administrative Agent may send a notice to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Lenders that the then outstanding Borrowing Base shall be reduced by an amount as determined by the Required Lenders to cause the
Borrowers to be in compliance with the requirement to provide acceptable title information on 80% of the total Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties. This new Borrowing Base shall become effective immediately after receipt of such
notice.

definition) on additional proved Oil and Gas Properties not already subject to a Lien of the Security Instruments such that after giving effect thereto, the Mortgaged Properties will represent at least 80% of such total Recognized Value. All such

Section 11.02 Duties and Obligations of Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except as provided in Section 11.03, and (c) except as expressly set
forth herein, shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to it by Parent, a Borrower or a Lender, and shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or
inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VI or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to it or as to those conditions precedent specifically required to be to its satisfaction, (vi) the existence, value, perfection or priority of any collateral security or the financial or other condition of
the Credit Parties or any other obligor or guarantor, or (vii) any failure by any Credit Party or any other Person (other than itself) to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or the performance or observance
of any covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein.

Section 11.03 Action by
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that it is required to exercise in
writing as directed by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02) and in all cases it shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to
act hereunder or under any other Loan Documents unless it shall (a) receive written instructions from the Majority Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 12.02) specifying the action to be taken and (b) be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. The instructions as aforesaid and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Administrative Agent shall take
such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the requisite Lenders in the written instructions (with indemnities) described in this Section 11.03, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. In no event,
however, shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or applicable law. If a Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Arranger shall not have any obligation to perform any act in respect thereof. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders or the Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02), and otherwise no Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under
any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith INCLUDING ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 11.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper
Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon and each of the Credit Parties, the Lenders
and each Issuing Bank hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agents record of such statement, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Agent. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel
(who may be counsel for the Credit Parties), 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. The
Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof permitted hereunder shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.

Section 11.05 Subagents. The Administrative 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. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions of the preceding Sections of this Article XI 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 facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Section 11.06 Resignation of
Agents. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this Section 11.06, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative). Upon any
such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with and upon the approval of the Borrowers (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, 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 Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders and each Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank or commercial lender with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank or commercial lender. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as
Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The
fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Agents resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article
XI and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

Section 11.07 Agents as Lenders. Each bank serving as an Agent 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 any Credit Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

Section 11.08 No
Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Agent 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 and each other Loan Document to which it is a party. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Agent 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, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be required to keep themselves informed as to the performance or observance by any Credit Party of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for
herein or to inspect the Properties or books of the Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Agents nor the
Arranger shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Credit Party (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into the possession of
such Agent or any of its Affiliates. In this regard, each Lender acknowledges that Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. is acting in this transaction as special counsel to the Administrative Agent only, except to the extent otherwise expressly stated in
any legal opinion or any Loan Document. Each other party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with the Loan Documents and the matters contemplated therein.

Administrative Agent to release (a) any Collateral that is permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents and (b) any Borrower from its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents to the extent all of
the Equity Interests issued by such Borrower were sold in compliance with the Loan Documents. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative), at the
Borrowers sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents reasonably requested by the Borrowers in connection with any sale or other disposition of Property to the extent such sale
or other disposition is permitted (or not prohibited) by the terms of Section 9.12 or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents.

Agent, nor any Documentation Agent shall have any duties, responsibilities or liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents other than their duties, responsibilities and liabilities in their capacity as Lenders hereunder.

Section 11.11 Filing of Proofs of Claim. In case of any Default or Event of Default under Section 10.01(f),
Section 10.01(g) or Section 10.01(h), the Administrative Agent (regardless of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Exposure shall then be due and payable and regardless of whether the Administrative Agent has made any demand on any
Credit Party) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to (i) file and
prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all other Indebtedness that is owing and unpaid and (ii) file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in
order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all
other amounts due the Lenders, the Administrative Agent under Section 3.05 and Section 12.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

Each Lender hereby authorizes any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, conservator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such
judicial proceeding: (i) to make such payments to the Administrative Agent; and (ii) if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 3.05 and Section 12.03. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Indebtedness or the rights of any Lender or
to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. Each Lender retains its right to file and prove a claim separately.

Section 11.12 Execution of Documents. Each Lender hereby empowers and authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and
deliver to Parent and the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) on their behalf the Security Instruments and all related agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Security Instruments.
Each Lender (by their signature hereto, or otherwise by their acceptance of the benefits of the Security Instruments) hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of the Security Instruments (including the amendments and restatements of the Existing Loan
Documents) and consents to the rights, powers, remedies, indemnities and exculpations given to the Administrative Agent thereunder and the other terms and provisions thereof. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of
any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall control.

Section 12.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure on the part of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing
with respect to, any right, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Credit Party
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.02(b), 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 or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default
at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any Security Instrument nor any provision thereof may be
waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Parent, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Majority Lenders or by Parent, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the

Lenders, (iv) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, or reduce any other Indebtedness hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the
written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (v) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or any other Indebtedness hereunder or
under any other Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone or extend the Termination Date without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (vi) change Section 4.01(b) or
Section 4.01(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) waive or amend Section 8.14 or change the definition of the terms Domestic
Subsidiary, Foreign Subsidiary, Subsidiary, or Unrestricted Subsidiary without the written consent of each Lender, (viii) release any Guarantor, release any of the Collateral (other than as provided in

(xii) change Section 12.04(a) in a manner that would permit any Credit Party to assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, or (xiii) change clause (b) of
the definition of Indebtedness, the definition of Secured Swap Provider or Secured Parties, Section 12.14, the description of the obligations secured or guaranteed by the Security Instruments, the priority of payments
set forth in Section 10.02(c), or any provisions of this Section 12.02(b) without the written consent of each Lender or Secured Swap Provider adversely affected thereby, provided that the addition of a new secured obligation shall
not be deemed to adversely affect any other secured party; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent or any Issuing Bank hereunder or under any other Loan Document
without the prior written consent of such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any supplement to Schedule 7.14 (Subsidiaries) shall be effective simply by delivering to the Administrative Agent a
supplemental schedule clearly marked as such and, upon receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Lenders.

and the Commitments of any assigning Lender remaining a party hereto after giving effect to the assignment shall be at least $5,000,000, unless, in each case, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Administrative Agent otherwise
consents, provided that no such consent of the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement; (C) 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; (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and shall deliver notice of the Assignment and Assumption to the Borrowers (or Borrower
Representative); (E) in the case of an assignment to a CLO, the assigning Lender shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, provided that the Assignment and Assumption

(iii) Subject to Section 12.04(b)(iv) and the acceptance and recording
thereof, 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 5.01, Section 5.02,
Section 5.03 and Section 12.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.04 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 Section 12.04(c).

(iv) The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, 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 Maximum Credit Amount of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the Register). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank 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 any Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In connection with any changes to the Register, if necessary, the
Administrative Agent will reflect the revisions on Annex I and forward a copy of such revised Annex I to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative), each Issuing Bank and each Lender.

(v) 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 Section 12.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by
Section 12.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in
the Register as provided in this Section 12.04(b).

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of Parent, the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent or any Issuing Bank, 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, (C) Parent, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this
Agreement and (D) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no case may a Lender sell a participation in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Borrower or to any Affiliate of a
Borrower. 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 proviso to Section 12.02 that
affects such Participant. In addition such agreement must provide that the Participant be bound by the provisions of Section 12.03. Subject to Section 12.04(c)(ii), Parent and the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or Section 5.03 than
the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers (or Borrower Representatives) prior
written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.03 unless the Borrowers are (or Borrower Representative is) notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 5.03(e) as though it were a Lender.

(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 any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 12.04(d) 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.

(a) 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 or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making
of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other
amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and
Section 12.03 and Article XI shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the
Commitments or the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

(b) To the
extent that any payments on the Indebtedness or proceeds of any Collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under
any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Indebtedness so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Administrative Agents, and the Lenders
Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrowers shall, and shall cause
each other Credit Party to, take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to effect such reinstatement.

Section 12.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

(b) This Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any
and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement among the parties hereto and thereto and may not be
contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
of this Agreement.

Section 12.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document 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 or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 12.08 Right of Setoff. 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
(of whatsoever kind, including, without limitations obligations under Swap Agreements) at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any of and all the obligations of any Credit Party
owed to such Lender now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be
unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 12.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or its Affiliates may have.
