 LONESTAR RESOURCES AMERICA INC. 

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT 

This Securities Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of August 2, 2016, is among LONESTAR RESOURCES AMERICA INC.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), LONESTAR RESOURCES US INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent Company”, and together with the Company, the “Lonestar Parties”), JEFFERIES FINANCE, LLC, in
its capacity as the collateral agent for the Purchasers (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), JUNEAU ENERGY, LLC, a Delaware limited company (the “Initial Purchaser”), the other Purchasers party
to this Agreement, and LEUCADIA NATIONAL CORPORATION (as “Initial Purchaser Guarantor”). 
 Certain capitalized
terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A; and references to a “Schedule” or an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, to a schedule or an exhibit attached to this Agreement.

RECITALS: 
 WHEREAS, the
Company and the Parent Company desire to issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers desire to purchase, the Company’s senior secured notes due 2021 and detachable warrants to purchase shares of the Parent Company’s common stock,
par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; 

WHEREAS, the Company’s payment obligations under the Notes, including the due and punctual payment of interest thereon, will be
unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior secured basis (the “Guarantees”), by each of the Guarantors; and 
 NOW THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises and of the respective representations, warranties, covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows: 

AGREEMENT: 
 SECTION 1. PURCHASE AND
SALE OF THE NOTES 
 1.1. Authorization. 

The Company has authorized the issuance and sale of senior secured second lien notes in an aggregate principal amount of at least $25,000,000
and up to a maximum of $49,900,000 (the “Notes”); and the Parent Company has authorized the issuance and sale of five-year detachable warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable for the purchase of an aggregate 998,000
shares of Common Stock (“Warrant Shares”) at a price of $5.00 per share, as such number of shares may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms thereof, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
herein. 
 1.2. Sale and Purchase of Securities. 

(a) Subject to compliance with Sections 1.3 and 1.4, on the Closing Date the Company will issue and sell to the Initial Purchaser, and the
Initial Purchaser will purchase from the Company, Notes at an aggregate purchase price equal to $10,000,000. 

  
 1 








 (b) From time to time after the Closing Date and prior to the Funding Deadline, subject to
compliance with Sections 1.3 and 1.5, the Company may deliver to Purchasers then party to this Agreement notice (which notice must be received by such Purchasers prior to 10:00 A.M., Dallas, Texas time, at least one Business Day prior to the Issue
Date) requesting that such Purchasers purchase additional Notes and specifying the date of issue (such date, the “Issue Date”) and amount to be purchased; such amount shall be allocated among such Purchasers pro rata in accordance
with their then-unfunded Commitments, rounded to the nearest integral multiple of $1,000 (provided that no Purchaser shall purchase Notes in an aggregate principal amount greater than its Commitment). Not later than 12:00 Noon, Dallas, Texas
time, on the Issue Date for the additional Notes, each Purchaser then party to this Agreement shall make available to the Company an amount in U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds equal to the principal amount of the Notes then to be
purchased by such Purchaser; provided that in no event shall the Initial Purchaser be required to purchase Notes under Sections 1.2(a) and this clause (b) in excess of $25,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. 

(c) From time to time after the Closing Date but before the Funding Deadline, one or more Purchasers other than the Initial Purchaser may
become party to this Agreement, with each such additional Purchaser to become a party to this Agreement effective upon the execution of a Joinder Agreement by such Purchaser, the Company and the Parent Company; provided that (x) the
Commitment of any such additional Purchaser must be $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess of $5,000,000 and (y) the aggregate Commitment of all such additional Purchasers shall not exceed $24,900,000. Subject to the
limitations that (1) the aggregate Commitments of all Purchasers may not exceed $49,900,000 and (2) the aggregate Commitments of all Purchasers other than the Initial Purchaser may not exceed $24,900,000, any Purchaser may increase the amount of its
Commitment (each such increase to be $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess of $1,000,000 from time to time after the Closing Date but before the Funding Deadline upon the execution and delivery of a Commitment Increase Supplement
by such Purchaser, the Company and the Parent Company; in the event of an increase in the Initial Purchaser’s Commitment, such increase shall be subject to the payment by the Company of a fee equal to 2% of such increased Commitment (which fee
shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as a premium for an option to put Notes to the Initial Purchaser). 
 (d) In connection
with any issue and sale of Notes pursuant to Section 1.2(a) or 1.2(b) above, at the request of the Initial Purchaser, each Purchaser of Notes will also receive detachable Warrants for the exercise of 20 Warrant Shares per $1,000 in aggregate
principal amount of Notes purchased. The Warrants shall be issued substantially in the form set out in Exhibit D. The terms and conditions to exercise of the Warrants will be as expressly set forth therein. The Notes and Warrants will be
treated as “investment units” within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code and U.S. Treasury Regulation §1.1273-2(h). Under these rules, the issue price of an investment unit will be allocated between the Note and the Warrant
based on the relative fair market values of the Note and the Warrant. The amount so allocated to the Notes issued on the Closing Date will be $9,152,000, and to the Warrants issued on the Closing Date will be $848,000. The Purchasers, the
Holders and the Lonestar Parties agree that the foregoing allocation will be binding on the Purchasers, the Holders, the Lonestar Parties and their Affiliates for all tax reporting purposes unless the applicable Purchasers, Holders and Lonestar
Parties all agree otherwise or as otherwise may be required (to the satisfaction of all such parties, each in its reasonable discretion) by applicable law. Not later than five Business Days prior to the issuance of Additional Notes, the Company and
the Initial Purchaser shall mutually determine the amount allocated to any Notes and Warrants issued after the Closing Date, and such determination shall be binding on the Purchasers, the Holders, the Lonestar Parties and their Affiliates for all
tax reporting purposes unless the applicable Purchasers, Holders and Lonestar Parties all agree otherwise or as otherwise may be required (to the satisfaction of all such parties, each in its reasonable discretion) by applicable law. The
Lonestar Parties, the Holders and the Purchasers will not take, and will cause their Affiliates to not take, the position on any Tax return or report or otherwise that any of the Notes (or the loans 


  
 2 








 
evidenced thereby) are treated as other than debt for income or franchise tax purposes or are governed by the rules for contingent payment debt instruments set out in U.S. Treasury Regulation
§ 1.1275-4, without the prior written consent of the Initial Purchaser. At least thirty days before a Lonestar Party or its Affiliate files any Tax return or report that reflects or reports the accrual of original issue discount on
any of the Notes (or the loans evidenced thereby) or the tax treatment of any fees payable under any Note Document, or provides any information related to the accrual of original issue discount with respect to the Notes (or the loans evidenced
thereby) or the tax treatment of any fees payable under any Note Document to any Holder, the Company shall provide the applicable original issue discount accrual schedule, or a description of the tax treatment of such fees, to the Initial
Purchaser for the Initial Purchaser’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Lonestar Parties will not take, and will cause their Affiliates to not take, any position on any Tax
return or report or in any information provided to a Holder that is inconsistent with the original issue discount accrual schedule or such description of fees as updated to reflect the Initial Purchaser’s reasonable requests without the prior
written consent of the Initial Purchaser. If Juneau Energy, LLC is no longer a Holder, then “Initial Purchaser” shall mean—for purposes of this Section 1.2(d) only—the Majority Holders. 

(e) The offer and sale of the Notes and the issuance of the Warrants to the Purchasers will be made without registration of the Notes or
Warrants under the Act in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Act. Neither this Agreement nor the Notes will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and as a result Holders will not receive
the protections otherwise provided thereby. 
 (f) The payment and performance of the Notes and all of the other Obligations hereunder and
under the other Note Documents will be (i) unconditionally guaranteed by each Guarantor pursuant to one or more Guaranty Agreements; and (ii) secured by Liens (subject in priority to the Liens granted under the First Lien Documents and to Excepted
Liens) against (A) the interest of the Lonestar Parties and each Guarantor in a portion of their Oil and Gas Properties, the Recognized Value of which represents at least 80% of the Recognized Value of all of their proved Oil and Gas Properties,
pursuant to the terms of one or more Mortgages in favor of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties; and (B) all personal property of the Company and each Guarantor pursuant to the terms of one or more Security
Agreements (with such exceptions as provided therein) in favor of the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties. 

1.3. Closing. 
 Each
issue and sale of the Notes to the Purchasers (a “Closing”) shall occur at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 811 Main Street, Suite 3700, Houston, TX 77002, at 10:00 a.m., Houston, Texas time, on the Issue Date therefor
(the first such Issue Date, the “Closing Date”). At each Closing, (i) the Company will deliver to each such Purchaser the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Note (or such greater number of Notes in
denominations of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $1,000,000 principal amount as such Purchaser may request), (ii) if the Initial Purchaser is a Purchaser of some or all of such Notes, the Company shall pay a fee to the
Initial Purchaser equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being purchased by the Initial Purchaser, (iii) the Company shall have paid all of the fees due to, and expenses owing in accordance with Section 10.1 of, the Purchasers
and (iv) in the case of an issue of Warrants pursuant to Section 1.2(e), the Parent Company will deliver to each Purchaser a Warrant, each executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the Company, dated the date of the Closing and
registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of such Purchaser’s nominee), against delivery to the Company of the purchase price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Company designated on Schedule
II. If at the Closing the Company or the Parent Company shall fail to tender such Notes and Warrants to the Purchaser as provided above in this Section 1.3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 1.4 shall not have been
fulfilled to each Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at the Purchaser’s election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights the Purchaser may have by reason of such failure
or such nonfulfillment.

executed in blank by a duly authorized officer of the pledgor thereof. 
 (b) The Initial Purchaser shall have received the unaudited pro
forma consolidated balance of the Company prepared to give effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to the issue of the Notes to be made on the Closing Date and the use of proceeds thereof and the payment of fees and expenses in
connection with the foregoing. 
 (c) Each of the representations and warranties made by the Lonestar Parties in or pursuant to the Notes
Documents shall be true and correct on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date, except for representations and warranties expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be
true and correct as of such earlier date. 
 (d) Each Lonestar Party shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all
agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and any other Note Documents required to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing Date.

 (b) Each of the representations and warranties made by any
Lonestar Party in or pursuant to the Note Documents shall be true and correct on and as of the Issue Date as if made on and as of such date, except for representations and warranties expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which

The obligation of the Company and the Parent Company to sell the Notes and issue the Warrants in connection with each Closing is subject to

 (a) Each Purchaser shall
have paid the purchase price for its Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Company on Schedule II. 

(b) The representations and warranties of each Purchaser in this Agreement shall be correct in all material respects when made and at the time

 (e) Each

 1.8. Guarantee of Initial Purchaser’s Obligations 

(a) To induce the Lonestar Parties to enter into this Agreement, the Initial Purchaser Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees to the Lonestar Parties, the due and punctual payment, observance and performance of the Initial Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, including the obligation to purchase Notes from time to time as provided hereunder;
provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Initial Purchaser Guarantor’s liability under this guaranty exceed an amount of the Initial Purchaser’s commitment to purchase Notes
hereunder. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds.
 (b) The
Lonestar Parties shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to any obligation in the event that the Initial Purchaser becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Lonestar Parties to so file
shall not affect the Initial Purchaser Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. In the event that any payment to the Lonestar Parties in respect of any obligation is rescinded or is otherwise returned for any reason whatsoever, the Initial
Purchaser Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Initial Purchaser’s obligations as if such payment had not been made. This is an unconditional guaranty of payment and not of collectibility. The obligations of the
parties shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this guaranty, and all dealings between Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchaser Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Lonestar Parties, on the other,
shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guaranty. The Initial Purchaser Guarantor agrees to promptly take all actions required to timely discharge its obligations hereunder, and the Initial
Purchaser Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Lonestar Parties shall be entitled to specific performance against the Initial Purchaser Guarantor (without the posting of bond or other security) if required to specifically enforce the foregoing
obligations. 
 (c) The Initial Purchaser Guarantor agrees that the Lonestar Parties may at any time and from time to time, without notice
to or further consent of the Initial Purchaser Guarantor, extend the time of payment of any obligation of the Initial Purchaser hereunder (but may not, without the consent of all of 

  
 6 








 
the Holders, extend the Funding Deadline), and may also make any agreement with the Initial Purchaser for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in
part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between the Lonestar Parties and Initial Purchaser without in any way impairing or affecting the Initial Purchaser Guarantor’s obligations under this guaranty or affecting
the validity or enforceability of this guaranty. The Initial Purchaser Guarantor agrees that the obligations of the Initial Purchaser Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise impaired or
affected by (i) the failure or delay of the Lonestar Parties to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Initial Purchaser or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) any
release or discharge of any obligation of Initial Purchaser contained in this Agreement resulting from any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Initial Purchaser; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other
similar proceeding affecting the Initial Purchaser; (iv) any amendment or modification of this Agreement, or change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, renewal
or alteration of, any of the Initial Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, any escrow arrangement or other security therefor, any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any amendment or waiver of or any consent to any
departure from the terms of this Agreement or the documents entered into in connection therewith; (v) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right that the Initial Purchaser Guarantor may have at any time against the Initial Purchaser or the
Lonestar Parties, whether in connection with any Obligation or otherwise; (vi) the adequacy of any other means the Lonestar Parties may have of obtaining repayment of any of the obligations of the Initial Purchaser; (vii) the addition or
substitution or release of any Person interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (viii) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Initial Purchaser Guarantor or otherwise
operate as a discharge of the Initial Purchaser Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Initial Purchaser Guarantor hereby irrevocably and expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by
reason of any law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Lonestar Parties. The Initial Purchaser Guarantor hereby irrevocably and expressly waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this guaranty and of
any obligation, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of the incurrence of any obligation and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation,
stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of the Initial Purchaser or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all suretyship
defenses generally (other than defenses to the payment of the obligations that are available under this Agreement); provided that the Initial Purchaser Guarantor is not waiving any of its rights or defenses to the extent otherwise expressly
provided herein. 
 (d) No failure on the part of the Lonestar Parties to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Lonestar Parties of any right, remedy or power hereunder or under the Purchase Agreement or otherwise preclude any other or future exercise of any right,
remedy or power hereunder. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Lonestar Parties or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Lonestar Parties at
any time or from time to time.
 (e) The Initial Purchaser Guarantor may not assign its rights, interests or obligations hereunder to any
other Person (except by operation of law) without the prior written consent of the Lonestar Parties. This guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on the Initial Purchaser Guarantor, its successors and assigns until the
Obligations are satisfied in full.

 SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. 

2.1. Representations of the Lonestar Parties. 

Each of the Lonestar Parties, jointly and severally, represents and warrants to each Purchaser as of the date hereof as follows: 

(a) The Lonestar Parties and each Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, has all requisite power and authority, and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary, to own its assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is qualified to do business in,
and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where failure to have such power, authority, licenses, authorizations, consents, approvals and qualifications could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
 (b) The Transactions are within the Lonestar Parties’ and each Guarantor’s powers under its
Organizational Documents and have been duly authorized by all necessary action (including, without limitation, any action required to be taken by any class of managers, directors, partners or owners of Capital Stock of either Lonestar Party or any
other Person, whether interested or disinterested, in order to ensure the due authorization of the Transactions). Each Note Document to which the Lonestar Parties and each Guarantor is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the
Lonestar Parties and such Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Lonestar Parties and such Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to Debtor Relief Laws or other laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

(c) The Transactions (i) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental
Authority or any other third Person (including members, shareholders, partners or any class of managers, directors, or partners, whether interested or disinterested, of the Lonestar Parties or any other Person), nor is any such consent,
approval, registration, filing or other action necessary for the validity or enforceability of any Note Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect
other than (A) the recording and filing of the Security Documents as required by this Agreement, (B) those third party approvals or consents which, if not made or obtained, would not cause a Default hereunder, could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or do not have an adverse effect on the enforceability of the Note Documents, (C) consents by, required notices to, or other actions by state and federal governmental entities in connection with the
assignment of state and federal oil and gas leases or other interests therein that are customarily obtained subsequent to such assignments, and (D) filings pursuant to state securities laws, (ii) will not violate any applicable law or
Organizational Documents of the Lonestar Parties or any Subsidiary or any order of any Governmental Authority, (iii) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Lonestar Parties or
any Subsidiary or its Properties, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Lonestar Parties or such Subsidiary and (iv) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Property of the Lonestar
Parties or any Subsidiary (other than the Liens created by the Note Documents and the Liens created under the First Lien Documents to the extent permitted hereunder and under the Intercreditor Agreement). The Warrant Shares have been reserved
for issuance pursuant to the Warrants. 
 (d) The financial statements of the Parent Company heretofore furnished to the Purchasers present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of the Parent Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with


  
 8 








 
GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the unaudited quarterly financial statements. Since December 31, 2015, (i) there has been no
event, development or circumstance that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) the business of the Parent Company and its Subsidiaries has been conducted only in the ordinary course consistent with
past business practices. Neither the Parent Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has on the date hereof any material Indebtedness (including Disqualified Stock) or any contingent liabilities, off-balance sheet liabilities or partnerships, liabilities
for Taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments, except as referred to or reflected or provided for in the Financial Statements. 

(e) There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to
the knowledge of the Parent Company, threatened against or affecting the Parent Company or any of its Subsidiaries (i) not fully covered by insurance (except for normal deductibles) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse
determination that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any Note Document or the Transactions. 

(f) Except as set forth in Schedule 2.1(f) or that could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (or with respect
to (iii), (iv) and (v) below, where the failure to take such actions could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect): 

(i) Neither any Property of the Parent Company or any Subsidiary nor the operations conducted thereon violate any order or
requirement of any court or Governmental Authority or any Environmental Laws. 
 (ii) No Property of the Parent Company or
any of its Subsidiaries nor the operations currently conducted thereon are in violation of or subject to any existing, pending or threatened action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding by or before any court or Governmental Authority or
to any remedial obligations under Environmental Laws. 
 (iii) All notices, permits, licenses, exemptions, approvals or
similar authorizations, if any, required to be obtained or filed in connection with the operation or use of any and all Property of the Parent Company and each of its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, past or present treatment, storage,
disposal or release of a hazardous substance, oil and gas waste or solid waste into the environment, have been duly obtained or filed, and the Parent Company and each Subsidiary have not received written notice stating that they are not in
compliance with the terms and conditions of all such notices, permits, licenses and similar authorizations. 
 (iv) To the
Parent Company’s knowledge, all hazardous substances, solid waste and oil and gas waste, if any, generated at any and all Property of the Parent Company or any of its Subsidiaries have in the past been transported, treated and disposed of in
accordance with Environmental Laws. 
 (v) The Parent Company has taken all steps reasonably necessary to determine and has
determined that no oil, hazardous substances, solid waste or oil and gas waste, have been disposed of or otherwise released and there has been no threatened release of any oil, hazardous substances, solid waste or oil and gas waste on or to any
Property of the Parent Company or any of its Subsidiaries except in compliance with Environmental Laws. 

  
 9 








 (vi) To the extent applicable, all Property of the Parent Company and each
Subsidiary currently satisfies all design, operation, and equipment requirements imposed by the OPA, and the Parent Company does not have any reason to believe that such Property, to the extent subject to the OPA, will not be able to maintain
compliance with the OPA requirements during the term of this Agreement. 
 (vii) Neither the Parent Company nor any
Subsidiary has any known contingent liability or Remedial Work in connection with any release or threatened release of any oil, hazardous substance, solid waste or oil and gas waste into the environment, except as referred to or reflected or
provided for in the Financial Statements. 
 (g) Each of the Parent Company and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Governmental
Requirements applicable to it or its Property and all agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its Property, and possesses all licenses, permits, franchises, exemptions, approvals and other governmental authorizations necessary for the
ownership of its Property and the conduct of its business, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Parent Company nor any
Subsidiary is in default nor has any event or circumstance occurred which, but for the expiration of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default or would require the Parent Company or a Subsidiary to
Redeem or make any offer to Redeem under any indenture, note, credit agreement or instrument pursuant to which any Material Indebtedness is outstanding or by which the Parent Company or any Subsidiary or any of their Properties is bound. No
Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 (h) Neither the Parent Company nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company”, within
the meaning of, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 (i) Each of the Parent Company and its
Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be timely filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has timely paid or caused to be timely paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it and all Taxes upon the Parent Company or
any of its Subsidiaries and upon their respective properties, assets, income, businesses or franchises required to have been paid, except (i) Taxes that are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which the
Parent Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (ii) to the extent that the failure to do so could not result in a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and
reserves on the books of the Parent Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of Taxes and other governmental charges are, in the reasonable opinion of Parent Company, adequate. No Tax Lien has been filed and, to the knowledge of the Parent
Company, no claim is being asserted with respect to any Tax or other governmental charge imposed on the Parent Company or any of its Subsidiaries or upon their respective properties, assets, businesses or franchises. 

(j) The Parent Company, the Subsidiaries and each ERISA Affiliate have complied in all material respects with ERISA and, where applicable, the
Code regarding each Plan. Each Plan is, and has been, maintained in substantial compliance with ERISA and, where applicable, the Code. No act, omission or transaction has occurred which could result in imposition on the Parent Company, any
Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate (whether directly or indirectly) of (i) either a civil penalty assessed pursuant to subsections (c), (i) or (l) of Section 502 of ERISA or a tax imposed pursuant to Chapter 43 of Subtitle D of the Code or
(ii) breach of fiduciary duty liability damages under Section 409 of ERISA. No Plan (other than a defined contribution plan) or any trust created under any such Plan has been terminated since September 2, 1974. No liability to the
PBGC (other than for the payment of current premiums which are not past due) by the Parent 

  
 10 








 
Company, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has been or is expected by the Parent Company, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate to be incurred with respect to any Plan. No ERISA Event
with respect to any Plan has occurred. Full payment when due has been made of all amounts which the Parent Company, the Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate is required under the terms of each Plan or applicable law to have paid as contributions to
such Plan as of the date hereof, and no accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, exists with respect to any Plan. The actuarial present value of the benefit
liabilities under each Plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA does not, as of the end of the Parent Company’s most recently ended fiscal year, exceed the current value of the assets (computed on a plan termination basis in accordance with
Title IV of ERISA) of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities. The term “actuarial present value of the benefit liabilities” shall have the meaning specified in Section 4041 of ERISA. Neither the Parent Company, the
Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate sponsors, maintains, or contributes to an employee welfare benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA, including, without limitation, any such plan maintained to provide benefits to former employees
of such entities, that may not be terminated by the Parent Company, a Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate in its sole discretion at any time without any material liability. Neither the Parent Company, the Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate sponsors,
maintains or contributes to, or has at any time in the six-year period preceding the date hereof sponsored, maintained or contributed to, any Multiemployer Plan. Neither the Parent Company, the Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate is required to
provide security under Section 401(a)(29) of the Code due to a Plan amendment that results in a material increase in current liability for the Plan. 

(k) The Parent Company has disclosed or delivered to the Purchasers and the Holders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other
restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the other reports, financial
statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Parent Company or any Subsidiary to the Holders or any of their Affiliates in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Note Document or delivered
hereunder or under any other Note Document (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Parent Company represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be
reasonable at the time. There is no fact known to the Parent Company or any Subsidiary which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or in the future is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and which has
not been set forth in this Agreement or the Note Documents or the other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Holders by or on behalf of the Parent Company or any Subsidiary prior to, or on, the date hereof in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby (other than industry wide risks normally associated with the types of businesses conducted by the Parent Company and its Subsidiaries). There are no statements or conclusions in any Reserve Report which are
based upon or include misleading information or fail to take into account material information regarding the matters reported therein, it being understood that projections concerning volumes attributable to the Oil and Gas Properties and production
and cost estimates contained in each Reserve Report are necessarily based upon professional opinions, estimates and projections and that the Parent Company and the Subsidiaries do not warrant that such opinions, estimates and projections will
ultimately prove to have been accurate. 
 (l) The Parent Company has, and has caused all of its Subsidiaries to have, (i) all
insurance policies sufficient for the compliance by each of them with all material Governmental Requirements and all material agreements and (ii) insurance coverage in at least amounts and against such risk (including, without limitation,
public liability) that are commercially reasonable and usually insured against by companies similarly situated and engaged in the same or a similar business for the assets and operations of the Parent Company and its Subsidiaries. The
Collateral Agent has been named as an additional insured in respect of such liability insurance policies, and the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such has been named as loss payee with respect to Property loss insurance. 

  
 11 








 (m) Each of the Parent Company and the Subsidiaries has good and defensible title to its
respective Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the most recently delivered Reserve Report and good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, licenses of, or rights to use, all its Properties, in each case, free and clear of all Liens except Liens
permitted by Section 5.3. After giving full effect to the Excepted Liens, the Parent Company or the Subsidiary 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 the Parent Company or such Subsidiary 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 the Parent Company’s or such Subsidiary’s
net revenue interest in such Property. The ownership by the Parent Company or any Subsidiary of the Hydrocarbons and the undivided interests therein specified on the exhibits to the Mortgages are the same interests reflected in the most
recently delivered Reserve Report. All material leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of the Parent Company and the Subsidiaries 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 have a Material Adverse Effect. The rights and Properties presently owned,
leased or licensed by the Parent Company and the Subsidiaries including, without limitation, all easements and rights of way, include all rights and Properties necessary to permit the Parent Company and the Subsidiaries to conduct their business in
all material respects in the same manner as its business has been conducted prior to the date hereof. All of the Properties of the Parent Company and the Subsidiaries which are reasonably necessary for the operation of their businesses are in good
working condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and are maintained in accordance with prudent business standards. Each of the Parent Company and each Subsidiary owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and
other intellectual Property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Parent Company and such Subsidiary 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 Parent Company and its Subsidiaries 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. 

(n) Except for such acts or failures to act as could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and subject to the prior
rights and limitations of the Parent Company as an owner of any non-operated working interests, the Oil and Gas Properties (and Properties unitized therewith) of the Parent Company and its Subsidiaries have been maintained, operated and developed in
a good and workmanlike manner and in conformity with all Governmental Requirements and in conformity with the provisions of all leases, subleases or other contracts comprising a part of the Hydrocarbon Interests and other contracts and agreements
forming a part of the Oil and Gas Properties of the Parent Company and its Subsidiaries. Specifically in connection with the foregoing, except for those as could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) no Oil and
Gas Property of the Parent Company or any Subsidiary is subject to having allowable production reduced below the full and regular allowable (including the maximum permissible tolerance) because of any overproduction (whether or not the same was
permissible at the time) and (ii) none of the wells comprising a part of the Oil and Gas Properties (or Properties unitized therewith) of the Parent Company or any Subsidiary is deviated from the vertical more than the maximum permitted by
Governmental Requirements (except with respect to horizontal wells permitted by Governmental Authority), 

  
 12 








 
and such wells are, in fact, bottomed under and are producing from, and the well bores are wholly within, the Oil and Gas Properties (or in the case of wells located on Properties unitized
therewith, such unitized Properties) of the Parent Company or such Subsidiary. All pipelines, wells, gas processing plants, platforms and other material improvements, fixtures and equipment owned in whole or in part by the Parent Company or any
of its Subsidiaries that are necessary to conduct normal operations are being maintained in a state adequate to conduct normal operations, and with respect to such of the foregoing which are operated by the Parent Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
in a manner consistent with the Parent Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ past practices (other than those the failure of which to maintain in accordance with this Section 2.1(n) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect). 
 (o) Except for contracts listed and in effect on the date hereof on Schedule 2.1(o), and thereafter either disclosed in
writing to the Holders or included in the most recently delivered Reserve Report (with respect to all of which contracts the Parent Company represents that it or its Subsidiaries are receiving a price for all production sold thereunder which is
computed substantially in accordance with the terms of the relevant contract and are not having deliveries curtailed substantially below the subject Property’s delivery capacity), no material agreements exist which are not cancelable on 60
days’ notice or less without penalty or detriment for the sale of production from the Parent Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Hydrocarbons (including, without limitation, calls on or other rights to purchase, production, whether or not
the same are currently being exercised) that (i) pertain to the sale of production at a fixed price and (ii) have a maturity or expiry date of longer than six (6) months from the date hereof. 

(p) Schedule 2.1(p), as of the date hereof, and after the date hereof, each report required to be delivered by the Parent Company
pursuant to Section 4.2(e), sets forth, a true and complete list of all Swap Agreements of the Parent Company and each Subsidiary, the material terms thereof (including the type, term, effective date, termination date and notional amounts or
volumes), the net mark to market value thereof, all credit support agreements relating thereto (including any margin required or supplied) and the counterparty to each such agreement. 

(q) The proceeds of the sale of the Notes shall be used for general corporate purposes, which may include, but is not limited to, the payment
fees and expenses in connection with the Transactions not to exceed $2,500,000 and to repurchase the Senior Notes from time to time. The Parent Company and its Subsidiaries are not engaged principally, or as one of its or their 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 the sale of the
Notes shall be used for any purpose which violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board. The Parent Company shall not use, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and
agents shall not use, the proceeds of the Notes (x) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (y) for
the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or (z) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any
party hereto. 
 (r) None of the Parent Company and its Subsidiaries own, and have not acquired or made any other expenditure (whether such
expenditure is capital, operating or otherwise) in or related to, any Oil and Gas Properties located outside of the geographical boundaries of the United States or in the offshore federal waters of the United States of America. 

(s) The Parent Company has implemented and maintains in effect policies and/or procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Parent Company
and the Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Parent 

  
 13 








 
Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective officers and employees and, to the knowledge of the Parent Company, their respective directors and officers, are in compliance with
Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of (i) the Parent Company and the Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers or employees, or (ii) to the knowledge of the Parent Company, any agent
of the Parent Company or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement by Parent
Company or its Subsidiaries will violate any Anti-Corruption Law or applicable Sanctions. 
 (t) The Mortgages are effective to create in
favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on all of the Company’s and each Guarantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property thereunder and the proceeds thereof,
and when the Mortgages are filed in the offices of the Counties in which the Oil and Gas Properties are located, the Mortgages shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Company and
each Guarantor in such Mortgaged Property and the proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than with respect to the rights of Persons pursuant to Liens expressly permitted by Section 5.3. 

2.2. Representations of the Purchasers and the Initial Purchaser Guarantor 

Each Purchaser and the Initial Purchaser Guarantor represents and warrants, or acknowledges, as applicable, as of the date hereof, as follows:

 (a) Such Person is (i) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
Act, (ii) aware that the sale of the Notes and the issuance of the Warrants to it is being made in reliance on a private placement exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and (iii) acquiring the Notes and the Warrants for its own

shall provide to the Holders a certificate from a Responsible Officer certifying that: (i) the information contained in the Reserve Report and any other information delivered in connection therewith is true and correct in all material respects,
it being understood that each Reserve Report is necessarily based upon professional opinions, estimates and projections, and the Company does not warrant that the same will prove to be accurate, (ii) the Company or its Subsidiaries own good and
defensible title to the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in such Reserve Report and such Properties are free of all Liens except for Liens permitted by Section 5.3, (iii) except as set forth on an exhibit to the certificate, on a net basis
there are no Material Gas Imbalances, take or pay or other prepayments in excess of the volume specified in Section 2.1(o) with respect to its Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in such Reserve Report which would require the Company or any

the Collateral Agent pursuant to written direction from the Majority Holders) covering enough of the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report that were not included in the immediately preceding Reserve Report, so that the Collateral
Agent shall have received together with title information previously delivered to the Collateral Agent, satisfactory (to the Majority Holders) title information on at least 80% of the Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated
by such Reserve Report reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders.
 (b) If the Company has provided title information for additional
Properties under Section 4.14(a), the Company shall, within 60 days of notice from the Majority Holders (or the Collateral Agent acting at the written direction of the Majority Holders), that title defects or exceptions exist with respect to

and production activities, acquisitions, dispositions and production. In the event that the Mortgaged Properties do not represent at least 90% of such Recognized Value, then the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (other than any
Exempt CFC or Subsidiary thereof) to, grant, within 30 days after delivery of the certificate required under Section 4.13(b), to the Collateral Agent as security for the Notes a Lien interest (provided that Liens pursuant to the First
Lien Documents and Excepted Liens of the type described in clauses (a) to (d) and (f) of the definition thereof may exist, but subject to the provisos at the end of such definition) on additional Oil and Gas Properties not already subject to a Lien
of the Security Documents such that after giving effect thereto, the Mortgaged Properties will represent at least 90% of such total value. All such Liens will be created and perfected by and in accordance with the provisions of Mortgages, deeds
of trust, security agreements and financing statements or other Security Documents, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and as are necessary to maintain or establish the perfected security interest of, the Collateral Agent in the
applicable Collateral with the requisite priority required pursuant to the Note Documents and in sufficient executed (and acknowledged where necessary or appropriate) counterparts for recording purposes. In order to comply with the foregoing,
if any Subsidiary grants a Lien on its Oil and Gas Properties to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Holders and such Subsidiary is not a Guarantor, then it shall become a Guarantor and comply with Section 4.15(b).

(b) Within 30 days following the creation, acquisition or other formation of any Subsidiary (other than any Exempt CFC or Subsidiary thereof),
the Company shall cause such Subsidiary to become a party to a Guaranty Agreement and to guarantee the Notes and to grant the liens required pursuant thereto and to execute and deliver all such any filings or other documents, instruments and/or
other agreements as are necessary to maintain or establish the perfected security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral of such Subsidiary with the requisite priority required pursuant to the Note Documents.

respect thereto, and, when known, any action taken or proposed by the IRS, the Department of Labor or the PBGC with respect thereto, and (iii) immediately upon receipt thereof, copies of any notice of the PBGC’s intention to terminate or
to have a trustee appointed to administer any Plan. With respect to each Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan), the Company will, and will cause each Subsidiary and ERISA Affiliate to, (i) satisfy in full and in a timely

without incurring any late payment or underpayment charge or penalty, all premiums required pursuant to sections 4006 and 4007 of ERISA.

other amount) then, upon request of such Holder or other Recipient, the Company will pay to such Holder or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Holder or other Recipient, as the case may be,
for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 7.2. Capital Requirements. 

If any Holder determines that any Change in Law affecting such Holder or any lending office of such Holder or such Holder’s holding
company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Holder’s capital or on the capital of such holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the
commitments of such Holder to purchase Notes or the Notes held by such Holder, to a level below that which such Holder or such Holder’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Holder’s
policies and the policies of such Holder’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Holder such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Holder or such Holder’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 7.3. Certificates for Reimbursement. 

A certificate of a Holder or Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Holder or Recipient or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 and delivered to the Company, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Holder or Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any
such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 7.4. Delay in Requests. 

Failure or delay on the part of any Holder or Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 shall not constitute a
waiver of such Holder’s or Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Holder or Recipient pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 for any increased costs incurred or
reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Holder or Recipient, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Holder’s or Recipient’s
intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof). 
 7.5. Withholding. 

Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Note Party hereunder or under any other Note Document shall be made free and
clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable
Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax,
then the sum payable by the applicable Note Party shall be increased as necessary 

  
 43 








 
so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) applicable Recipient receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made; provided, that in the case of a Withholding Agent that is the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent is permitted (but not required) to seek a
written direction of the Majority Holders in connection with any such deduction or withholding. 
 7.6. Other Taxes. 

The Note Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Collateral
Agent, within 30 days after demand therefor reimburse it for the payment of (which reimbursement obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations), any Other Taxes. 

7.7. Indemnification. 

(a) The Note Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount
of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority; provided that the Note Parties shall not be required to
compensate any Recipient pursuant to this Section 7.7(a) for any interest, additions to tax or penalties that accrue after 180 days after the date such Recipient first receives written notice of the relevant Indemnified Taxes from the applicable
Governmental Authority. Any Recipient claiming indemnity pursuant to this Section 7.7(a) shall notify the Note Parties of the imposition of the relevant Indemnified Taxes as soon as practicable after the Recipient becomes aware of such imposition. A
certificate or other written notification as to the amount of such payment or liability (together with any reasonable explanation thereof) delivered to the Company by a Recipient shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

(b) Each Holder shall severally indemnify the Collateral Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes
attributable to such Holder (but only to the extent that any Note Party has not already repaid the Collateral Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Note Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such
Holder’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 7.9, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Holder, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Collateral Agent in connection with any Note Document, and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate or other written notification as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to any Holder by the Collateral Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Holder hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts payable by the Collateral Agent to the Holder
against any amount due to the Collateral Agent from such Holder under this Section 7.7(b). 
 7.8. Evidence of Payment. 

As soon as practical after any payment of Taxes by any Note Party to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 7, the Company shall
deliver to the Collateral Agent and the applicable Holder the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Holders. 

  
 44 








 7.9. Forms. 

Any Holder that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Note Document shall
deliver to the Company and the Collateral Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Collateral Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Collateral Agent as will
permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Holder, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Collateral Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Collateral Agent as will enable the Company or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to determine whether or not such Holder is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 7.9(a), (b) and (d) below) shall not be
required if in the Holder’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Holder to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Holder. 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(a) any Holder that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Collateral Agent on or prior to the date on which such Holder
becomes a Holder under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Collateral Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Holder is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding
tax; 
 (b) any Foreign Holder shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Collateral Agent (in
such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Holder becomes a Holder under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the
Collateral Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) in the case of a Foreign Holder claiming the benefits of
an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Note Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction
of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(ii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Holder claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the
Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Holder is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the
Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or 

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Holder is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form
W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, 

  
 45 








 
a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Holder is a partnership and one or
more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Holder are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Holder may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(c) any Foreign Holder shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Collateral Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Holder becomes a Holder under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Collateral
Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by
applicable law to permit the Company or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(d) if a payment made to a Holder under any Note Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Holder
were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Holder shall deliver to the Company and the Collateral Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Collateral Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Collateral Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Holder has complied with
such Holder’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement. For purposes of this Section, “applicable law” includes FATCA. 
 Each Holder agrees that if any form or
certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Collateral Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Note Document, all obligations for withholding obligations or
payment of Taxes in connection with any payments hereunder shall be the exclusive obligation of the Company or the applicable Holder and, except as required by Governmental Requirement of any Governmental Authority, the Collateral Agent shall have
no obligation to determine the amount of any Taxes to be paid or payable by any Person. 
 7.10. Refunds. 

If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified pursuant to Section 7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 7.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section
with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 7.10 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.10, in no event will the indemnified party be required
to pay any amount to an 

  
 46 








 
indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 7.10 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if
the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 7.10 shall
not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

7.11. Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Holders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Holder requests compensation under Section 7.1, or requires the Company to pay
any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Holder or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Holder pursuant to Section 7.7, then such Holder shall (at the request of the Company) use reasonable efforts to designate a different
lending office for funding or booking its Notes hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Holder, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or
reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.7, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Holder to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Holder. The Company hereby agrees
to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Holder in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement
of Holders. If any Holder requests compensation under Section 7.1, or if the Company is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Holder or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Holder pursuant to Section 7.7
and, in each case, such Holder has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 7.11(a), then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Holder and the Collateral Agent, require
such Holder to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.5), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to
Section 7.1 or Section 7.7) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Notes Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Holder, if a Holder accepts such assignment); provided that: 

(i) such Holder shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Notes, 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 Company (in the case of all other amounts); 

(ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 7.1 or payments required to be
made pursuant to Section 7.7, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 

(iii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. 

A Holder shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Holder or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 7.12. Survival. 

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement hereunder, each party’s agreements and obligations contained in this Section 7
shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Collateral Agent or any assignment of rights by a Holder, the termination of the commitments to purchase Notes and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Note
Instrument. 

  
 47 








 SECTION 8. REGISTRATION; FORM; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES. 

8.1. Registration of Notes. 

The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes (with separate
entries maintained for Notes issued on different dates). The name and address of each Holder of one or more Notes, the principal amounts (and stated interest) thereon, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or
more Notes shall be registered in such register. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes hereof,
and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The entries in the register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company, the Holders and the Collateral Agent shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Holder hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Company shall give to the Collateral Agent and any Holder of a Note promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of
the names and addresses of all registered Holders of Notes, and the register shall be available for inspection by the Collateral Agent (for itself or acting at the written direction of the Majority Holders) and any Holder, at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 8.2. Form and Dating of Notes. 

(a) Each Note will be substantially in the form of Exhibit B, will be dated the date of its issue and will be in denominations of
$1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (b) The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and
are hereby expressly made, a part of this Agreement and the Company, the Guarantors and the Purchasers, by their execution and delivery of this Agreement, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the
extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and be controlling. 

(c) Any Notes repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by or surrendered to the Company at any time will be cancelled and destroyed by the
Company.
 (d) If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus,
to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee
in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special
record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company will mail or cause to be delivered to Holders a notice that states the special
record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
 8.3. Transfer and Exchange of Notes. 

The Notes and Warrants are separable, and a Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note
(or a beneficial interest therein) separately from its interest in any Warrant. 

  
 48 








 The transfer or exchange of any Note to any Person other than the Company may only be made in
accordance with this Section 8.3 and the Note. The Company may refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with the preceding sentence. The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Company a duly completed Transfer Notice, in substantially the form attached to the Note, and such other certifications and evidence as the Company may reasonably require in order to determine that the proposed transfer or exchange
is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States.
 No such
certification is required in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) after such Note is (i) eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) without the need
to satisfy current information or other requirements therein; provided that the Company may require from any Person requesting a transfer or exchange in reliance upon this clause (i) any other reasonable certifications and evidence in order to
support such certificate; or (ii) sold pursuant to an effective registration statement. Any Note delivered in reliance upon this paragraph will not bear the Restricted Legend. 

Upon surrender of any Note at the principal executive office of the Company for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a
surrender for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered Holder of such Note or his attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the address for notices of
each transferee of such Note or part thereof), the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the Holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such Holder may request. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which
interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $1,000,000, provided that if
necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a Holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $1,000,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its
nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representation set forth in Section 2.2. 
 8.4. Replacement of Notes. 

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and 

(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the Holder of such Note is, or is
a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another Holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000 (each, an “Institutional Investor”), such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be
satisfactory), or 
 (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, 

the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have
been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. 

  
 49 








 SECTION 9. THE COLLATERAL AGENT. 

9.1. Appointment; Powers. 

Each of the Holders, by accepting the benefits of the Note Documents, irrevocably appoints Jefferies Finance to act on its behalf as the
“collateral agent” under the Note Documents, and each Holder, by accepting the benefits of the Note Documents, irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Holder for purposes of acquiring, holding
and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Lonestar Parties to secure any of the Obligations arising under the Note Documents and to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents on behalf
of the Holders, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to
Section 9.5 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent, shall be
entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 9 and Section 10, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Note Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect
thereto. The provisions of this Section are solely for the benefit of the Holders and the Collateral Agent, and neither the Company nor any other Note Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is
understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Note Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law (whether or not an Event of Default is continuing). Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship
between contracting parties. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent (and any Sub-Agent) are hereby expressly authorized
to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and any rights of the Holders with respect thereto as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Note Documents. In
performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent (and each Sub-Agent) shall act solely as an agent of the Holders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or
trust with or for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 9.2. Rights as a Holder. 

At any time that the Collateral Agent is also a Holder, Person serving as the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Holder as any other Holder and may exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral Agent, and the term “Holder” or “Holders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise
requires, include the Person serving as the Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory
capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Holder. 

9.3. Exculpatory Provisions. 

(a) The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Note Documents, and
its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent: 

  
 50 








 (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Note Documents that the Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Holders (or such other
number or percentage of the holders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Note Documents); provided that the Collateral Agent will not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose
the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Note Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law; 

(iii) shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the
Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

(b) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of any Note
Party, any Holder and/or the Majority Holders (or such other number or percentage of the Holders as shall be necessary, or as the Collateral Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.4,
Section 11.1 and Section 6)), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral
Agent shall not be required to take, or to omit to take, any action unless the Collateral Agent receives all documentation or security satisfactory to it from any of the Holders against all liabilities that, by reason of such action or omission, may
be imposed on, or incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent.. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Collateral Agent in writing by the
Company or a Holder. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action under any Note Document or otherwise if taking such action (i) would subject the Collateral Agent to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax,
or (ii) would require the Collateral Agent to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified. 
 (c) The
Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Note Document, (ii) the contents of any
certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder 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 therein or
the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Note Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien
purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or sufficiency of any of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Sections 1.4 and 1.5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent. 
 (d) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the
Collateral Agent may, from time to time, use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of collateral related filings and registrations from time to time required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Note Documents and notification to
the Collateral Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Company and the other Note Parties. Neither the Collateral Agent
nor any Sub-Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Holders for any action taken or
omitted by any of them under or in 

  
 51 








 
connection with any of the Note Documents. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized to, but shall not be responsible for, filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any
documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting any security interest in the Collateral. It is expressly agreed, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, that the Collateral Agent shall have no
responsibility for (i) monitoring the perfection, continuation of perfection or the sufficiency or validity of any security interest in or related to the Collateral, (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect
to any Collateral or (iii) taking any action to protect against any diminution in value of the Collateral. 
 9.4. Reliance by Collateral
Agent. 
 The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise
authenticated by the proper Person. The Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), 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. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in any other
Note Document, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take, or refrain from taking, any action hereunder except at the written direction of the Majority Holders, (ii) all acknowledgments, waivers and agreements in this
Agreement or in any Note Document of the Collateral Agent, whether being made for itself or for the Holders or for any other Person, are being made at the direction of the Holders on the date hereof and each Holder, by purchasing any Notes or
otherwise accepting the benefits of any Note Document, shall be deemed to expressly agree to the terms of all such acknowledgments, waivers and agreement, (iii) any term, provision, determination, certificate, information, Note Document or other
document or agreement that is required to be satisfactory to the Collateral Agent or at the discretion or request of the Collateral Agent (or any like term providing that the Collateral Agent “may”, “shall”, “may not”
or “shall not” act) shall be deemed to be required to be to the satisfaction of the Collateral Agent or at the request or discretion of the Collateral Agent acting, in each case, pursuant to written direction or instruction of the Majority
Holders; provided that any term or provision of any certificate, Note Document or other agreement that relates to any (i) payment, indemnification or exculpatory rights of the Collateral Agent (ii) payment, indemnification, reimbursement or
other obligations of the Collateral Agent or (iii) other rights or obligations necessary or advisable (as determined by the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion) on order for the Collateral Agent to comply with its obligations under
Governmental Regulations shall also be required to be reasonably satisfactory to, or at the request of, the Collateral Agent. 
 9.5.
Delegation of Duties. 
 The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or
under any other Note Document by or through any one or more Affiliates of the Collateral Agent appointed in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion (the “Sub-Collateral Agent”). The Collateral Agent and any such Sub-Collateral
Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section and in Section 9.4 shall apply to any such Sub-Collateral Agent and to the
Related Parties of the Collateral Agent and any such Sub-Collateral Agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the sale of the Notes as well as activities as Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be


  
 52 








 
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any Sub-Collateral Agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the
Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such Sub-Collateral Agents. 
 9.6. Resignation of
Collateral Agent. 
 The Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Holders and the Company. Upon
receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Holders shall have the right, so long as no Event of Default then exists in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank or trust company with an office in the
United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank or trust company with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Holders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may on behalf of the Holders and the Company, appoint a successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the
Collateral Agent shall notify the Company and the Holders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Collateral Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Note Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to
each Holder directly, until such time as the Majority Holders appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Collateral Agent (except for any indemnity, fees or other payments owed to the retiring Collateral Agent), and the retiring Collateral
Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Note Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Collateral
Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Note Documents, the provisions of
this Section 9 and Sections 6, 7, 10 and 11 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent, its Sub-Collateral Agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by any of them while the retiring Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent. 
 9.7. Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent and other
Holders. 
 Each Holder acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Holder or
any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Holder acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Holder or any of their Related Parties 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 Note Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Purchaser, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or a Joinder Agreement, shall be deemed to
have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Note Document and each other document required to be approved by the Collateral Agent, the Majority Holders or the Holders, as applicable, on the Closing Date. 

9.8. No Other Duties, Etc. 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arranger or any other financial institution listed on the cover page hereof shall
have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this 

  
 53 








 
Agreement or any of the other Note Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Collateral Agent (to the extent expressly set forth herein or in any other Note Document to which it is
a party) or a Holder hereunder. No Arranger or other financial institution listed on the cover page hereof shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Holder. 

9.9. Collateral Agent May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Lonestar Party, the
Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Note shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Collateral Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be
entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise to (at the written direction of the Majority Holders): 

(a) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Obligations arising under the
Note Documents that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Holders and the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the holders and the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Holders and the Collateral Agent under Section 6) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder and the Collateral Agent to make such payments directly to the Holders (together with written notice to the Collateral Agent) and to pay to the Collateral Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Collateral Agent under Section 6. 

(c) make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Note Document or any related agreement
or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Collateral Agent to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder or to authorize the Collateral Agent to vote in respect of the
claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 9.10. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. 

(a) Each Holder, by accepting the benefits of the Note Documents, irrevocably authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent (without further
consent of any Person and without any obligation to independently verify the occurrence or consummation of any conditions to any action set forth below): 

(i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Note Document (A) upon receipt of
a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Company certifying the payment in full of all Obligations arising under the Note Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the termination in full of this Agreement, (B)
otherwise in connection with the release a Lien permitted pursuant to Note Documents, a description of the Lien and/or property to be so released, that such property is sold or otherwise 

  
 54 








 
disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Note Documents and that such release is expressly permitted
pursuant to Note Documents, or (C) subject to Section 11.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Holders; 

(ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Note Document to the Holder
of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 5.3 upon receipt of a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Company certifying a description of the Lien to be so subordinated, that the Lien of such holder is expressly
permitted under the Note Documents and that such subordination is expressly permitted pursuant to Note Documents; and 

(iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a
result of a transaction permitted under the Note Documents upon receipt of a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Company certifying a description of the relevant transaction and identifying the Guarantors and obligations to be so
released, that the applicable transaction is expressly permitted under the Note Documents and that such release is expressly permitted pursuant to Note Documents. 

Upon request by the Collateral Agent, at any time, the Majority Holders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to
release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 and, upon any such request, the Majority Holders will provide
written direction to so release; provided that if the Collateral Agent has requested such confirmation and such confirmation has not been provided by the Majority Holders notwithstanding anything set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Collateral
Agent shall not be permitted to so release or subordinate. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Collateral Agent will, at the Company’s expense and acting at the written direction of the Majority Holders, execute and
deliver to the applicable Lonestar Party such documents as such Lonestar Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate
its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents and this Section 9.10; provided that each such document and release or
subordination shall be made without recourse to or warranty from the Collateral Agent.
 (b) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible
for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate
prepared by any Lonestar Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Holders for any failure to monitor or maintain all or any portion of the Collateral. 

(c) The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Note Party or any other Person or against or
in payment of any or all of the Obligations. 
 (d) To the extent the provisions of this Section 9.10 conflict with the provisions of any
other Note Document, the provisions of this Section 9.10 shall govern. 
 9.11. Indemnification of the Collateral Agent. 

(a) The Note Parties shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates
(including the reasonable and documented fees, charges 

  
 55 








 
and disbursements of a single counsel (and, if reasonably required, a single regulatory counsel and one additional local or specialty counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or specialty) to the
Collateral Agent), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Collateral Agent) with respect to the

Agent, (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent (including the fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel (and, if reasonably required, a single regulatory counsel and one additional local or specialty counsel in

(B) in connection with the Notes made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Notes, provided that the Collateral Agent shall be limited to a single legal
counsel (and, if reasonably required, a single regulatory counsel and one additional local or specialty counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or specialty) in connection therewith, (iv) all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of advisors for the Collateral Agent, in connection with any action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding affecting the Collateral or any part thereof, in which action, claim,
suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding the Collateral Agent is made a party or participates or in which the right to use the Collateral or any part thereof is threatened, or in which it becomes necessary in the judgment of the
Collateral Agent to defend or uphold the Liens granted by the Security Documents (including any action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding to establish or uphold the compliance of the Collateral with any requirements of
Law) and (v) all documentary and similar taxes and charges in respect of the Loan Documents. 
 (b) Note Parties shall indemnify the
Collateral Agent (and any Sub-Collateral Agent) and each Related Party of the Collateral Agent (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, fines, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel (and, if reasonably required, a single regulatory counsel and
one additional local or specialty counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or specialty) for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including Company or any other Note Party) other than such
Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution, performance, administration, enforcement or delivery of this Agreement, any other Note Document, or any amendment, amendment and restatement,
modification or waiver of the provisions hereof or thereof, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Note or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party
thereto, (iv) any actual or alleged presence or release or threatened release of hazardous materials on, at, under or from any property owned, leased or operated by any Note Party at any time, or any environmental claim or threatened environmental
claim related in any way to any Note Party, (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by
the Company or any other Note Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, (vi) any Environmental Law applicable to Company or any Subsidiary or any of their properties, including the presence, generation, storage, release,
threatened release, use, transport, disposal, arrangement of disposal or treatment of oil, oil and gas wastes, solid wastes or hazardous substances on any of their properties, (vii) the breach or non-compliance by Company or any Subsidiary with any
Environmental Law applicable to Company or any Subsidiary, (viii) the 

  
 56 








 
past ownership by Company or any Subsidiary of any of their properties or past activity on any of their properties which, though lawful and fully permissible at the time, could result in present
liability, (ix) the presence, use, release, storage, treatment, disposal, generation, threatened release, transport, arrangement for transport or arrangement for disposal of oil, oil and gas wastes, solid wastes or hazardous substances on or at any
of the properties owned or operated by Company or any Subsidiary or any actual or alleged presence or release of hazardous materials on or from any property owned or operated by Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (x) any liability pursuant to
Environmental Laws or costs of response related in any way to Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (xi) any other environmental, health or safety condition in connection with the Note Documents; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. For the avoidance of doubt, each Indemnitee shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of this Agreement. This Section 9.11(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent
losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (c) The Note Parties agree, jointly and severally, that, without the prior
written consent of the Collateral Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Note Parties will not enter into any settlement of a claim in respect of the subject matter of Section 9.11(b) and asserted against an Indemnitee unless such
settlement includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such claim of all Indemnitees and does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee. 

(d) The provisions of this Section 9.11 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this
Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Notes, the release of any Guarantor or of all or any portion of the Collateral, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or
unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any Purchase. All amounts due under this Section 9.11 shall be accompanied by
reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested. 
 (e) To the extent that the
Lonestar Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section 9.11 to be paid by the Company to the Collateral Agent (or any Sub-Collateral Agent) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing,
each Holder severally agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent (or any such Sub-Collateral Agent), or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Holder’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Holder); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case
may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent (or any such Sub- Collateral Agent) in its capacity as such or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Collateral Agent (or any such Sub-Collateral Agent) in
connection with such capacity. 
 (f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Note Party shall assert, and each Note Party
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result
of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b) above shall be
liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the
other Note Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

  
 57 








 (g) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly and not later than 30 days after
demand therefor. 
 (h) The rights set forth in this Section 9.11 are in addition to any rights that the Indemnitees may have at common law
or otherwise. The Note Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations under this Section 9.11 shall be in addition to any liability which any such Note Party may otherwise have and shall be binding upon any successors and
assigns. This Section 9.11 is for the benefit of the Indemnitees, and no other Person may rely hereon. 
 SECTION 10. INDEMNIFICATION OF PURCHASERS.

 10.1. Expense Reimbursement. 

The Company will pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees for a single counsel and, if reasonably required, local
or other counsel) incurred by the Purchasers or Holders of a Note in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement or the Notes (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective),
including, without limitation: (a) the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this Agreement or the Notes or in responding to any subpoena or other legal
process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement or the Notes, or by reason of being a Holder of any Note, and (b) the reasonable costs and expenses, including financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection
with the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or any Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Notes. 

10.2. Indemnification Generally. 

In addition to any obligations set forth in Section 9.11 (and not in lieu thereof), the Company hereby indemnifies and holds harmless all
Indemnified Parties from and against all Liabilities. In addition to the foregoing, the Company agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or
participating in any action or other proceeding relating to any Liabilities (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action or proceeding). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the maximum aggregate
liability of the Company hereunder or otherwise with respect to any Liability or expenses suffered by each Holder shall be an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, of the Notes purchased by such
Holder. No Indemnified Party shall be liable to the Company or any other Person for damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic telecommunications or other information
transmission systems, except to the extent that such damages arise as a result of information distributed through the internet, electronic telecommunications or other information transmissions systems by such Indemnified Party in a manner that is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment to have been grossly negligent or a result of the willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party (to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and non-appealable judgment). No Indemnified Party shall be liable to the Company or any other Person for any determination made by it pursuant to this Section 10 in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of
such Person (to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). This Section 10.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising
from any non-Tax claim. 

  
 58 








 10.3. Contribution.

If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Company
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one
hand and such Indemnified Party on the other hand but also the relative fault of the applicable Purchaser and such Indemnified Party, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The rights set forth in this Section 10.3 are in addition to
any rights that the Indemnified Parties may have at common law or otherwise. 
 10.4. Successors and Assigns.

The Company’s indemnity obligations under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and
shall be binding upon any successors and assigns. This Section 10 is for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, and no other Person may rely hereon. 

10.5. No Consequential Damages.

In no event shall the Company have any liability to any Indemnified Party for any consequential or punitive damages, pursuant to this Section
10 or otherwise, except for any such consequential or punitive damages included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification.

10.6. Defense.
 If any
Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 10 with respect to any action or proceeding brought by a third party that is also brought against the Company, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action
or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Upon assumption by the Company of the defense of any such action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding
and to retain its own counsel, but the Company shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof unless (a) the Company has agreed to pay such fees and
expenses, (b) the Company shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in a timely manner or (c) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting
interests between the Company and the Indemnified Party, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Company. The Company
shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by the Company in accordance with the foregoing without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party (other than any such compromise or settlement exclusively
requiring payment of money by the Company) and any such compromise or settlement shall include an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such claim of all Indemnified Parties and shall not include any statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. 
 10.7. Survival. 

The obligations of the Company under this Section 10 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, and the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 59 








 SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS 

11.1. Amendment and Waiver. 

(a) Requirements. 
 This
Agreement and the Notes and the other Note Documents may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or thereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with the written consent of the Lonestar Parties and the Majority Holders,
except (x) without the written consent of each Holder at such time or, prior to the issuance of any Notes, each Purchaser, that no amendment or waiver may (i) change the stated maturity of the Notes or the amount of principal and interest due
at the stated maturity of the Notes, or reduce the rate or method of computation of interest on, the Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or
waiver, or (iii) amend any of this Section 11.1. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.1, no agreement shall amend, modify or
otherwise affect the rights, obligations or duties of the Collateral Agent under any Note Document without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. 

(b) Solicitation of Holders of Notes. 

The Company will provide each Holder (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) or, prior to the issuance of any Notes, each
Purchaser (and, if consent of the Collateral Agent is required pursuant to preceding clause (a), the Collateral Agent), with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Holder or Purchaser
(and, if applicable, the Collateral Agent), as applicable to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes. The Company will deliver
executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.1 to the Collateral Agent and each Holder or Purchaser, as applicable, promptly following the date on which it is
executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Holders or Purchasers (and, if applicable, the Collateral Agent). 

(c) Binding Effect, Etc. 

Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 11.1 applies equally to all Holders of Notes or, prior to the issuance
of any Notes, all Purchasers, and is binding upon them and upon each future Holder and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or
affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder or Purchaser or the Collateral Agent nor any
delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Holder or Purchaser or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.

(d) Notes Held by Company, Etc. 

Solely for the purpose of determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then
outstanding have approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the Holders of a
specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding (provided that, with respect to any direction
instruction to the 

  
 60 








 
Collateral Agent, such Notes shall be deemed not to be outstanding solely to the extent the Collateral Agent has received a certificate from a Financial Officer of the Company certifying the
principal amount of Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company and the Collateral Agent shall at all times be permitted to rely on the most recent such certificate delivered to it in accordance with Section 11.4. 

11.2. Survival of Representations and Warranties; Entire Agreement. 

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or
transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent Holder of a Note and the Collateral Agent, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on
behalf of such Purchaser or any other Holder of a Note or the Collateral Agent. This Agreement and any other Note Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Purchasers and the Company and, to the extent a party thereto,
the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. 
 11.3. Termination.

 The Purchasers (acting as a group) or the Company may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other and the Collateral
Agent in the event that the Initial Purchaser has not closed on or before December 31, 2016, without further obligation by either party to the other, except for reimbursement of the Purchasers’ expenses as contemplated in Section 11.3 and the
Collateral Agent’s expenses as contemplated in Section 9.11. Upon the occurrence of a redemption of all outstanding Notes pursuant to Section 3.7, this Agreement shall terminate. 

11.4. Notices. 
 Any
notice or communication is duly given if in writing and delivered in Person or mailed by first class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), electronic transmission or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, (i) in
the case of any communication to the Lonestar Parties, to Lonestar Resources US Inc., 600 Bailey Avenue, Suite 200, Fort Worth, Texas 76107, Attention: Frank D. Bracken III, Chief Executive Officer, (ii) in the case of any communication to the

liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, this Agreement or any other Note Document or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a
Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws. 

11.6. Successors and Assigns. 

All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of
their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent Holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not. 

  
 61 








 11.7. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. 

Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or interest on any Note that is due on a
date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day. 

11.8. Severability. 
 Any
provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

11.9. Construction. 

Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant
contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or
which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person. 

11.10. Counterparts. 

The parties may sign any number of copies of this Agreement, and each party hereto may sign any number of separate copies of this
Agreement. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission shall
constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or pdf shall be deemed to be
their original signatures for all purposes. 
 11.11. GOVERNING LAW.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

11.12. Submission to Jurisdiction and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. 

Each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive (or in the case of any suit, action or proceeding against the
Collateral Agent, the exclusive) jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the borough of Manhattan or the District Court for the Southern District of New York or any court of appeals from either thereof, over any suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the parties irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing in this Agreement or
any other Note Document shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent or any Holder may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Note Document against any Note Party or its properties in the courts
of any jurisdiction. 

  
 62 








 EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT
SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE
IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION. 

11.13. Enforcement of Agreement. 

The parties to this Agreement agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms
and provisions of this Agreement. Additionally, each party to this Agreement irrevocably waives any defenses based on adequacy of any other remedy, whether at law or in equity, that might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific
performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or injunctive relief in any action brought therefore. 
 11.14.
Successors and Assigns. 
 All agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the
benefit of their respective successors and assigns whether so expressed or not. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Purchaser may assign this Agreement and the rights and obligations herein without the written
consent of the Lonestar Parties in connection with such Purchaser’s transfer of Notes in accordance with the Agreement. This Agreement and the rights and obligations herein may not be assigned by the Lonestar Parties without the prior
written consent of the Holders. 
 11.15. No Fiduciary Duty. 

The Collateral Agent and its Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Agent Parties”), may have
economic interests that conflict with those of Company, its stockholders, the Note Parties and/or their respective Affiliates. Each Note Party agrees that nothing in the Note Documents will be deemed to create any advisory, agency or fiduciary
relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Agent Parties, on the one hand, and such Note Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. The Note Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the
Note Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Agent Parties, on the one hand, and the Note Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith
and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Agent Party has assumed a fiduciary or similar responsibility in favor of any Note Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights
or remedies with respect thereto) or the 

  
 63 








 
process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Agent Parties have advised, are currently advising or will advise any Note Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) except
the obligations expressly set forth in the Note Documents and (y) except as expressly set forth in the Note Documents, each Agent Party is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Note Party, its management, stockholders,
creditors or any other Person. Each Note Party acknowledges and agrees that the Note Parties have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that each is responsible for making its own independent
judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Note Party agrees that it will not claim that any Holder owes a fiduciary or similar duty to any Note Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading
thereto.

(i) the discounted future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves of the Company and its Subsidiaries calculated
in accordance with SEC guidelines but using Strip Prices (before any state or federal income taxes) as estimated in a reserve report prepared or audited by independent petroleum engineers as of the end of the Company’s most recently completed

 (A)
estimated proved oil and natural gas reserves of the Company and its Subsidiaries acquired since the date of such year-end reserve report, and 

(B) estimated proved oil and natural gas reserves of the Company and its Subsidiaries attributable to extensions, discoveries
and other additions and upward revisions of estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves (including previously estimated development costs incurred during the period and the accretion of discount since the prior period end) since the date of
such year-end reserve report due to exploration, development or exploitation, production or other activities which would, in accordance with standard industry practice, cause such revisions,

in the case of the preceding clauses (A) and (B), calculated on a pre-tax basis in accordance with SEC guidelines but using Strip Prices as of
the last Business Day of the most recently completed month by the Company’s petroleum engineers or any independent petroleum engineers engaged by the Company for such purpose; and decreased by, as of the date of determination, the
discounted future net revenue attributable to:
 (C) estimated proved oil and natural gas reserves of the Company and its
Subsidiaries reflected in such reserve report produced or disposed of since the date of such year-end reserve report, and 

(D) reductions in estimated proved oil and natural gas reserves of the Company and its Subsidiaries reflected in such reserve
report attributable to downward revisions of estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves since such year-end due to changes in geological conditions or other factors which would, in accordance with standard industry practice, cause such
revisions; 
 in the case of the preceding clauses (C) and (D), calculated on a pre-tax basis in accordance with SEC guidelines (utilizing
the lesser of the Strip Prices das of the last Business Day of the most recently completed month and the Strip Prices utilized in such year-end reserve report) by the Company’s petroleum engineers or any independent petroleum engineers
engaged by the Company for such purpose;

(iii) to the extent included in clause (a)(i) above, the discounted future net revenues, calculated on a pre-tax basis in
accordance with SEC guidelines (utilizing the lesser of the SEC pricing applicable to the most recently completed month-end and the prices utilized in the Company’s year-end reserve report) by the Company’s petroleum engineers or any
independent petroleum engineer engaged by the Company for such purpose, attributable to reserves that are required to be delivered to third parties to fully satisfy the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to Volumetric
Production Payments on the schedules specified with respect thereto; and 
 (iv) the discounted future net revenues,
calculated on a pre-tax basis in accordance with SEC guidelines, attributable to reserves subject to Dollar-Denominated Production Payments that, based on the estimates of production and price assumptions included in determining the discounted
future net revenues specified in (a)(i) above, would be necessary to fully satisfy the payment obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to Dollar-Denominated Production Payments on the schedules specified with respect thereto.

WORTH, TEXAS 76107 ATTENTION: FRANK D. BRACKEN III, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER] 

[●], 2016 
 FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, the undersigned, LONESTAR RESOURCES AMERICA, INC. (herein called the “Company”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, hereby promises to pay to [●], or registered assigns, the
principal sum of [●] DOLLARS on the Maturity Date (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined herein)), with interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) (a) on the unpaid
balance thereof at the rate of 12% per annum when paid in cash or, at the Company’s option, so long as no default then exists, 9% per annum in cash and 5% per annum paid in kind, payable the last day of March, June, September and December in
each year, commencing September 30, 2016 (each an “Interest Payment Date”), until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue payment of principal or interest, payable
semi-annually as aforesaid (or, at the option of the Holder, on demand), at the same rate per annum plus 2.0.
 This Note is one of a series
of senior secured notes (herein called the “Notes”) issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2016 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the Purchasers named
therein and is entitled to the benefits thereof. Each Holder of this Note will be deemed, by its acceptance hereof, to have made the representations set forth in Section 2.2(a) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The terms of the Notes
include those stated in the Securities Purchase Agreement, and any capitalized term used in this Note but not defined herein has the meaning attributed thereto in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and
Holders are referred to the Securities Purchase Agreement for a statement of such terms. The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company. 

This Note is a registered Note and, as provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement, upon surrender of this Note for registration of
transfer, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed, by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, a new Note for a like principal amount will be issued to, and registered in
the name of, the transferee. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes,
and the Company will not be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 If any date for payment of interest, principal or premium on the
Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the due date, and no additional interest will accrue solely as a result of such delayed
payment. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance.

  
 B-1 








 The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are
Holders of Notes at the close of business on (i) the last Business Day of February, May, August and November and (ii) in the case of the last Interest Payment Date, the Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, even if such Notes are
cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 4.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement with respect to defaulted interest. Holders must surrender Notes to the Company to collect
payments of principal and premium, if any, together with accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. Any Note will be payable as to principal, interest and premium, if any, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account in the
United States designated by the Holder to the Company in advance of the relevant payment date or, failing such designation, the Company will mail a check to the Holder at its registered address.

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, occurs and is continuing, the principal of this Note may be declared
or otherwise become due and payable in the manner, at the price and with the effect provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement. 

Payment of principal, interest and premium, if any, in respect of the Notes is guaranteed by the Subsidiaries of the Company party to the
Securities Purchase Agreement on the terms provided therein. 
 THE SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without
charge a copy of the Securities Purchase Agreement and any other Note Document. Requests may be made to:

               Warrant No. [        ] 

WARRANT 
 To Purchase Class
A Voting Common Stock of 
 LONESTAR RESOURCES US INC. 

THIS IS TO CERTIFY, that, for value received,
[                ], a [                ]
[                ], or its successors or registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to
purchase [            ] shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Class A Voting Common Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), of Lonestar Resources US Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), from the Company (the “Warrant”) at an exercise price per share equal to $5.00 at the Issue Date (the exercise price in effect being herein called the “Exercise
Price”). The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as described herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that
for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the amount paid for this Warrant on the date of issuance is equal to $[                ]. 

SECTION 1. Term; Exercise of Warrant. 

1.1 Time of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised at any time and from time to time during the period commencing as of 9:00
a.m., Central Time, on [                ], 2016 (the “Issue Date”) and ending as of 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on
[                ], 2021, at which time this Warrant shall become void and all rights hereunder shall cease, unless extended by the parties. 

1.2 Manner of Exercise. 

1.2.1 The Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the duly executed exercise notice, in
the form attached hereto as Appendix B, to the Company at its corporate office in Fort Worth, Texas, and upon payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for each Warrant Share to be purchased in lawful money of the United States, or
by certified or cashier’s check, or wired funds or by cashless exercise as provided in Section 1.3 below. 







 1.2.2 Upon receipt of this Warrant with the duly executed exercise notice and accompanied by
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is then being exercised (unless this Warrant is being exercised on a cashless basis as provided in Section 1.3 below), the Company shall cause to be issued and
delivered to the Holder, within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) trading days after this Warrant shall have been so exercised, including the delivery of the duly executed exercise notice and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, by (a)
causing the Company’s transfer agent to credit the Warrant Shares to the account of the Holder’s designated broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system or (b) if electronic delivery is
unavailable, delivering at the address designated by the Holder certificates representing the total number of whole Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised.

1.2.3 In case the Holder shall exercise this Warrant with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares that may be purchased under this
Warrant, the Company shall execute a new Warrant in substantially identical form (other than the number of Warrant Shares) for the balance of the Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant and deliver such new Warrant to the
Holder. 
 1.2.4 The Company covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all taxes and governmental charges (other
than any income tax due under federal, state or other law as a result of owning this Warrant or any Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant) which may be payable in respect of the issue of this Warrant, or the issue of any Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any stamp, transfer or similar tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of this Warrant or of the Warrant Shares in
a name other than that of the Holder at the time of surrender or an affiliate thereof; in the event any such transfer is involved and any such tax is payable, the Company shall not be required to issue such Warrant Shares until the payment of
such tax (or the payment to the Company of an amount sufficient to reimburse it for the payment of any such tax). 
 1.3 Cashless
Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of the aggregate Exercise Price in respect of the shares of Common Stock to be acquired,
shares of Common Stock of equal value to the value of this Warrant, or any specified portion hereof, by the surrender of this Warrant (or such portion of this Warrant being so exercised) together with a Net Issue Election Notice, in the form annexed
hereto as Appendix C, duly executed, to the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is computed using the following formula: 

X = Y (A - B) 
 A 

where 

  
 2 








 X = the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such cashless
exercise; 
 Y = the total number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant for which the Holder has surrendered purchase rights at
such time for cashless exercise (including both shares to be issued to the Holder and shares as to which the purchase rights are to be cancelled as payment therefor); 

A = the Market Price of one share of Common Stock as at the date the net issue election is made; and 

B = the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant (taking into account prior adjustments pursuant to the terms hereof) at the time the net
issue election is made. 
 “Market Price” on any date means the VWAP of one share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive
trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the specified date. If the Common Stock is not listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, the New York Stock Exchange or another national securities exchange, “Market Price”
of the Common Stock on any date means the fair value per share of Common Stock as of a date not earlier than 10 business days preceding the specified date as determined by the Company and Holder or, if the parties cannot agree within five Business
Days, by a third party independent appraiser having experience in such matters as agreed upon by the Holder. 
 “VWAP”
means, for any trading day, the price for shares of Common Stock determined by the daily volume weighted average price per share for such trading day on the trading market on which such shares are then listed or quoted, in each case, for the regular
trading session (including any extensions thereof, without regard to pre-open or after hours trading outside of such regular trading session) as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or the New York Stock Exchange, or the principal national
securities exchange on which such shares are then listed or quoted, whichever is applicable, as published by Bloomberg L.P. at 4:15 P.M., New York City time, on such trading day. 

1.4 Exchange of Warrant. Upon the request of the Holder, this Warrant may be divided into, combined with or exchanged for another
warrant or warrants of like tenor (collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares. If the Holder desires to divide, combine or exchange this Warrant, the Holder shall make such request in
writing delivered to the Company at its corporate office and shall surrender this Warrant and any other Warrants to be so divided, combined or exchanged. The Company shall execute and deliver to the person or persons entitled thereto a Warrant
or Warrants, as the case may be, as so requested. The Company shall not be required to effect any division, combination or exchange which will result in the issuance of a Warrant entitling the Holder to purchase upon exercise a fraction of a
Warrant Share. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder of one or more Warrants, the rights under which are exercised in the same transaction, would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of exercise, computed to the nearest whole U.S. cent. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense
the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 1.

 SECTION 2. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares Purchasable upon
Exercise. 
 Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares subject to
this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth hereinafter. 
 2.1 Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and
Combinations. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock (including any such
reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing entity), then (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date on which such change shall become effective shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such change and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to such change and (B) the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior
to the date on which such change shall become effective by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date on which such change shall become effective and the denominator of which shall be the
Exercise Price in effect immediately after giving effect to such change, calculated in accordance with clause (A) above. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. 

2.2 Recapitalization or Reclassification. If any capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company,
consolidation or merger of the Company with another entity in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another entity shall be effected, then, as a
condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis
and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or
in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition not
taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of the Exercise Price) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.

2.3 Distributions. In case the Company shall fix a payment date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Stock
(including any such distribution made in connection 

  
 4 








 
with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing entity) of evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than dividends or distributions referred to in Section 2.1), or
subscription rights or warrants, the Exercise Price to be in effect after such payment date shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such payment date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the Market Price per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such payment date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Company and the Holder or, if the parties cannot
agree within five Business Days, a third party independent appraiser having experience in such matters as agreed upon by the Holder) of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed, or of such subscription rights or warrants, and the
denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such Market Price per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such payment date. 

2.4 Notice.
 2.4.1 If at
any time (A) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of
dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property,
or to receive any other right, (B) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or
other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation or entity, or (C) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in any one
or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder at least 30 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any
such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and, in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 30 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (Y) the date on which any such record is to
be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and (Z) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice
shall be sufficiently given if addressed to the Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section 6.3. 

2.4.2 The Holder shall be entitled to the same rights to receive notice of corporate action as any holder of Common Stock. 

  
 5 








 2.5 Follow-On Dilution2.5.1 . If the Company issues, sells, or grants any shares of
Common Stock, options, warrants or other subscription or purchase rights, securities which are convertible into shares of Common Stock, or rights to purchase stock, warrants or securities which are convertible into shares of Common Stock, including
pursuant to the exercise of any warrant, option or other right to purchase (collectively, “Offered Securities”), at an indicative per share of Common Stock price (the “Follow-On Price”; and such Offered Securities
so issued, sold or granted, on an as-converted basis, the “Follow-On Stock”) less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, sale or grant, then the Exercise Price will be reset so that it will equal the
price determined according to the following formula: 
 (EP x OSP) + (FP x FS) 

OSA 
 where 

EP = the Exercise Price in effect immediately before the issuance, sale or grant of the Follow-On Stock; 

OSP = the total number of fully diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior the issuance, sale or grant of the Follow-On
Stock; 
 FP = the Follow-On Price; 

FS = the total number of fully diluted Follow-On Stock issued, sold or granted; and 

OSA = the total number of fully diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance, sale or grant of
the Follow-On Stock. 
 SECTION 3. Restrictions on Transfer; Legends. 

3.1 Registration or Exemption Required. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Holder in Section 5,
this Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and exempt from state registration or qualification under applicable state
laws. Neither this Warrant nor the Warrant Shares may be pledged, transferred, sold or assigned except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Act and applicable state laws. If, at
the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, or upon surrender of the Warrant Shares for transfer, the transfer of this Warrant, or where applicable the Warrant Shares, the Company shall require, as a
condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel or other certification of a senior officer of the Holder (in each
case, which shall be in form, substance and scope customary for comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or
transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), or (a)(8)
promulgated under the Act or a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Act in a transaction pursuant to Rule 144A 

  
 6 








 3.2 Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that until such time as the Warrant
Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act or an exemption from registration under the Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Warrant and the Warrant
Shares, as applicable, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the form set forth on the cover page of this Warrant (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such securities). 

3.3 Removal of Restrictive Legends. The Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof: (A)
following any sale of such Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (B) if such Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1) or (C) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Act (including judicial interpretations
and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)) and the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel to the Holder in form reasonably acceptable to the Company to such effect
(collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). In any such case, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to its transfer agent if required by the transfer agent to effect the issuance of the Warrant Shares,
as applicable, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. The Company agrees that, at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met, it will, no later than three (3) trading days following the delivery by the Holder to
the Company of notice that the Unrestricted Conditions have been met, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder an electronic transfer (or, if unavailable, a certificate) representing such Warrant Shares that is free from all restrictive and
other legends. 
 SECTION 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. 

4.1 Representations and Warranties. As of the date hereof, the Company represents and warrants to the Holder that: 

(A) it has the corporate power to enter into, perform and deliver, and has taken all necessary action to authorize its entry
into, and performance and delivery of, this Warrant and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant; 
 (B) this Warrant
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other
similar laws now or hereinafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair
dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; 

(C) the execution of this Warrant and the performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder do not conflict with, result
in a breach or violation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to: (i) the Company’s organizational documents; (ii) the terms of


  
 7 








 
any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which the Company or any of its
subsidiaries is a party or bound or to which its or their property is subject; or (iii) any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other
authority having jurisdiction over it or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their properties; and 
 (D) assuming the
accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Holder contained in this Warrant, the sale and issuance of the Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Act, and neither the
Company nor any person acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption. 
 4.2
Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees as follows: 
 (A) at all times the Company shall reserve and keep
available for the exercise of this Warrant such number of authorized shares of Common Stock as are sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant; 

(B) all Warrant Shares, when issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of
preemptive rights; 
 (C) the Company shall, for so long as the Warrant remains outstanding, timely file all reports and other documents
required to be filed by it pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In the event the Company no longer has reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, then the Company will deliver to
the Holder: 
 (i) as soon as available, but in any event within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, a
copy of the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of such year and the related audited consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form
the figures as of the end of and for the previous year, together with a narrative discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries for such fiscal year as compared to the previous year,
and reported on without a “going concern” or like qualification or exception, or qualification arising out of the scope of the audit, by the Company’s independent accountants; 

(ii) as soon as available, but in any event not later than 60 days after the end of each quarterly period of each fiscal year
of the Company, the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of such quarter and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for such quarter and the portion of the fiscal
year through the end of such quarter, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures as of the end of and for the corresponding period in the previous year, together with a narrative discussion and analysis of the financial condition and
results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries for such fiscal quarter and for the period from the beginning of the then current fiscal year to the end of such fiscal quarter, as compared to the comparable periods of the previous year;
and 

  
 8 








 (iii) within 10 business days after the time periods specified by the SEC’s
rules and regulations, information substantively of the type that would be required to be filed with the Commission in a Current Report on Form 8-K. 

All such financial statements and information delivered pursuant to this Section 4.2(C) shall be complete and correct in all material respects
and to be prepared in reasonable detail and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applied consistently throughout the periods reflected therein and with prior periods (except as approved by the
Company’s independent accountants or chief financial officer, as the case may be, and disclosed therein, and quarterly financial statements shall be subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and need not be accompanied by footnotes); 

(D) the Company shall not, for so long as any Warrants remain outstanding, by any action, including amending its organizational documents or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant. The Company
will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its
obligations under this Warrant; and 
 (E) the Company shall, at its expense, list on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (or any other national
securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock are trading) all Warrant Shares issued or, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant so long as any other shares of
Common Stock shall be so listed during the period in which this Warrant may be exercised. 
 SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties of
the Holder. 
 Each Holder of a Warrant represents and warrants to the Company as follows: 

5.1 Acquisition of Warrant for Personal Account. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares (collectively the
“Securities”) for investment for its own account and not with a present view to, or for resale in connection with, any public resale or distribution thereof. The Holder understands that the Securities have not been registered
under the Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. The Holder further understands that the
Securities have not been passed upon or the merits thereof endorsed or approved by any state or federal authorities. 
 5.2 Rule
144. The Holder acknowledges that the Securities it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a
public offering and must be held indefinitely unless an exemption from registration is available. The Holder represents that it is knowledgeable with respect to Rule 144 promulgated under the Act. 

  
 9 








 5.3 Accredited Investor. As of the date hereof, the Holder is an “accredited
investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Act. The Holder is sophisticated in financial matters, and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time.

 5.4 Opportunity to Discuss; Information. The Holder has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive
answers from, the officers and/or directors of the Company acting on its behalf concerning the terms and conditions of this transaction and to obtain any additional information, to the extent that the Company possesses such information or can
acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information furnished; and has availed itself of the opportunity to the extent the Holder considers appropriate in order to permit it to evaluate the merits
and risks of an investment in the Company. 
 SECTION 6. OTHER MATTERS. 

6.1 Withholding. If the Company is required by law to deduct or withhold any tax in respect of the Holder as a direct result of
any adjustment described in Section 2 being made to Warrants held by such Holder or the cashless exercise by such Holder of Warrants pursuant to Section 1.3, then the Company shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely
pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law; provided, that if the withholding required by the Company exceeds the amount of any cash required to be distributed or paid at such time by
the Company to the Holder under this Warrant, then the Company shall be entitled to sell additional Warrants or redeem existing Warrants (including other Warrants held by such Holder with respect to whom such withholding has occurred) in order to
satisfy such withholding obligations, or alternatively, at such Holder’s option, such Holder shall contribute the amount of such excess to the Company (in which case, the Company shall not be entitled to sell or redeem Warrants pursuant to this
sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.1, the Company shall notify the applicable Holder in writing of its intent to withhold or deduct any tax at least 30 days prior to withholding or deducting any tax in respect
of such Holder or selling or redeeming any Warrants pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Company shall give such Holder a reasonable opportunity to establish (by the provision of applicable tax forms or otherwise) that no withholding or
deduction is required and, as applicable, to elect the option described in the preceding sentence. Any amounts withheld by the Company and paid over to the relevant taxing authority by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall, to the
extent not reimbursed to the Company by the Holder, be treated as an amount distributed to the Holder for all purposes of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and without duplication (including without duplication of
any amounts resulting from a sale or redemption of Warrants or a contribution by the Holder pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.1), the Holder shall indemnify the Company for the full amount of any taxes (excluding interest, penalties
and additions to tax) that the Company is required by law to deduct or withhold in respect of the Holder as a direct result of any adjustment described in Section 2 being made to Warrants held by such Holder or the cashless exercise by such Holder
of Warrants pursuant to Section 1.3 or that the Company is otherwise required by law to withhold or deduct from a payment to the Holder under this Warrant.

 6.2 Binding Effect. All the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the
benefit of the Company or the Holder shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and permitted assigns hereunder.

6.4 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without reference to the choice of law provisions thereof. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Holder, each irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the
State of New York for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Warrant and the transactions contemplated hereby. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be
served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Warrant. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Holder, each irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any
such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of 

  
 11 








 
venue in such court. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Holder, each irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in
such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE HOLDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT
TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS WARRANT AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER. 

6.5 Parties Bound and Benefited. Nothing in this Warrant expressed and nothing that may be implied from any of the provisions
hereof is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon, or give to, any person or entity other than the Company and the Holder any right, remedy or claim under any promise or agreement hereof, and all covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises
and agreements contained in this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and its successors and of the Holder and its successors and registered assigns. 

6.6 Confidentiality. The Holder agrees to maintain, and to require its representatives to maintain, all confidential information
obtained from the Company on a confidential basis, which, among other things, precludes the use of such confidential information for the purposes of trading on the Warrant Shares. 

6.7 Identity of Transfer Agent. The transfer agent for the Common Stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A. Upon the
appointment of any subsequent transfer agent for the Common Stock or other shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrant, the Company will, within five (5) business days,
mail to the Holder a statement setting forth the name and address of such transfer agent. 
 6.8 Amendment; Waiver. Any term of
this Warrant may be amended or waived upon the written consent of both the Company and the Holder. 
 6.9 Assignment. Any
assignment or transfer of any portion or all of this Warrant shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office with the form of assignment attached as Appendix A hereto duly executed. In such event, the
Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in substantially identical form (other than the number of Warrant Shares) in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and the portion of this Warrant assigned to
the assignee shall promptly be cancelled. 
 6.10 Holder as Owner. Prior to the surrender, transfer or assignment of this
Warrant, the Company may deem and treat the Holder as the absolute owner of this Warrant (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for the purpose of any exercise hereof and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not
be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 6.11 Rights of Holder. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as
conferring upon the Holder, prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the right to vote, consent or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meetings of shareholders for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights
whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. 

  
 12 








 6.12 Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Holder
from and against any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements of any kind which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the Holder
(other than any income tax due under federal, state or other law as a result of owning this Warrant or any Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant) in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) the Holder’s exercise of this
Warrant or ownership of any Warrant Shares issued in consequence thereof, or (ii) any litigation to which the Holder is made a party in its capacity as a shareholder of the Company; provided, however, that the Company will not be
liable hereunder to the extent that any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, attorneys’ fees, expenses or disbursements are found in a final non appealable judgment by a court to have
resulted from the Holder’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in its capacity as a shareholder or warrantholder of the Company. 

6.13 Remedies. The Holder and each holder of Warrant Shares, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law,
including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions
of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. 

6.14 Lost Certificates. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such reasonable terms as to
indemnity as it may impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant in substantially identical form as, and in substitution for, this Warrant, which shall thereupon become void. Any
such new Warrant shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. 

6.15 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Warrant. 
 6.16 Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay
or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of a Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. If the Company fails to make, when due, any payments provided for
hereunder, or fails to comply with any other provision of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including
those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder. 

6.17 Office of the Company; Maintenance of Books. As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain an
office (which shall be the principal executive offices of the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant. The Company agrees to maintain, at its
aforesaid office, books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
