 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, representations and
warranties contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

AGREEMENT 

Section 1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment, each capitalized term used in this Amendment has the meaning
given such term in the Credit Agreement. 
 Section 2. Borrower Assignment. Pursuant to and in accordance with Section
10.06(g) of the Credit Agreement, for an agreed consideration, the Initial Borrower hereby irrevocably assigns to the New Borrower, and the New Borrower hereby irrevocably assumes from the Initial Borrower, as of the Effective Date all of the
debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties of the Initial Borrower arising under the Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to any Advance or Letter of Credit. The New Borrower hereby becomes the “Borrower” for all purposes
under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 3. Release of Initial Borrower and General Partner. Pursuant
to and in accordance with Section 9.09(a)(iv) and Section 10.06(g) of the Credit Agreement, effective immediately subsequent to the effectiveness of the Borrower Assignment pursuant to Section 2 above, the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, hereby: 
 (a) releases and discharges each of the Initial Borrower and the General
Partner (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any rights, obligations, or liabilities, whether contingent or otherwise, under the Credit Agreement (including the Guaranty set forth in Article VIII thereof) and the other
Loan Documents; 
 (b) terminates and releases any security interest in or Lien on all property of the Released Parties granted to or held
by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the Equity Interests of the New Borrower owned by the Initial Borrower and the General Partner and pledged to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the
Pledge Agreement; and 
 (c) agrees that it shall promptly execute and deliver, at New Borrower’s expense, all Uniform Commercial Code
termination statements and other documents reasonably requested by the New Borrower to evidence the release under this Section 3. 
 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this is a release of the Released Parties and their property only, and nothing in this Section 3 shall be construed to be a release of any obligations of the New Borrower assumed pursuant to
Section 2, or any obligations of any Loan Party (other than the Released Parties) under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to, or for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties.
Furthermore, nothing in this Section 3 shall be deemed or construed to in any manner release, amend, alter, or modify the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any right, title, equity, or interest of the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, insofar as they cover or affect any property or interest other than the Released Parties or the property of the Released Parties.

this Amendment, the undersigned Lenders hereby consent to the Cimarron Acquisition and agree that the Cimarron Acquisition and the transactions contemplated by the Cimarron Agreement shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under any of
Section 6.04, Section 6.05 or Section 6.06 of the Credit Agreement; provided that, the New Borrower is in compliance with Section 6.05(i) of the

permanent waiver of Section 6.04, Section 6.05 or Section 6.06 of the Credit Agreement or any other terms, provisions, covenants, warranties or agreements contained in the
Credit Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents.
