    	THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT AND ASSIGNMENT– Page 2



    	 



    

  


C.           The
last sentence of Section 2.07(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety:


 


“In addition, the Administrative
Agent may, by notifying the Borrower thereof, elect to cause an Interim Redetermination of the Borrowing Base any time a prepayment
made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.04(c)(iv) exceeds five percent (5%) of the Borrowing Base then existing at the time
of prepayment. The Borrowing Base will also be redetermined or adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.13(c)
or Section 9.12(d).”


 


D.           Section
2.07(c)(iii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:


 


“(iii)        Any
Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved by all of the Lenders as provided
in this Section 2.07(c)(iii); and any Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in
effect must be approved or be deemed to have been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in this Section 2.07(c)(iii).
Upon receipt of the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice, each Lender shall have fifteen (15) days to agree with the Proposed Borrowing
Base or disagree with the Proposed Borrowing Base by proposing an alternate Borrowing Base. If at the end of such fifteen (15)
days, any Lender has not communicated its approval or disapproval in writing to the Administrative Agent, such silence shall be
deemed to be an approval of the Proposed Borrowing Base in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain
the Borrowing Base then in effect (it being understood by the parties hereto that if the Proposed Borrowing Base would increase
the Borrowing Base, written approval of all Lenders is required). If, at the end of such 15-day period, all of the Lenders, in
the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, or the Required Lenders, in the case
of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect, have approved or deemed to have
approved, as aforesaid, then the Proposed Borrowing Base shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in
Section 2.07(d). If, however, at the end of such 15-day period, all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable,
have not approved or deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, the Proposed Borrowing Base, then the Administrative Agent shall poll
the Lenders to ascertain the highest Borrowing Base then acceptable to all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable,
and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in Section 2.07(d).”


 


E.           Section
2.09(a) of the Credit Agreement is amended by deleting the text “85% of the present value of the Borrower’s Proved
Reserves with such adjustments as the Administrative Agent desires in it sole discretion” in its entirety and replacing it
with the text “80% of the present value of the Borrower’s Proved Reserves”.


 


F.           Section
3.04(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the word “Commitments” in the third line and replacing
it with the words “Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts”.


 


G.           Section
8.13(a) of the Credit Agreement is amended by deleting the text “85% of the present value of the Borrower’s Proved
Reserves evaluated by such Reserve Report with such adjustments as
the Administrative Agent desires in it sole discretion” in its entirety and replacing it with the text “70% of the
present value of the Borrower’s Proved Reserves evaluated by
such Reserve Report”. 


 


H.           Section
8.13(b) of the Credit Agreement is amended by deleting the text “85% of the present value of the Borrower’s Proved
Reserves evaluated by such Reserve Report with such adjustments as
the Administrative Agent desires in it sole discretion” in its entirety and replacing it with the text “70% of the
present value of the Borrower’s Proved Reserves evaluated by
such Reserve Report”. 


 


I.
           Section 8.13(c) of the Credit Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:


 




    	THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT AND ASSIGNMENT– Page 3



    	 



    

  


“(c)        If
the Borrower is unable to cure any title defect requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to be cured within the 60-day
period or the Borrower does not comply with the requirements to provide acceptable title information covering 70% of the present
value of the Borrower’s Proved Reserves evaluated by such Reserve Report, such default shall not be a Default, but instead
the Administrative Agent and/or the Majority Lenders shall have the right to exercise the following remedy in their sole discretion
from time to time, and any failure to so exercise this remedy at any time shall not be a waiver as to future exercise of the remedy
by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders are not satisfied
with title to any Mortgaged Property after the 60-day period has elapsed, such unacceptable Mortgaged Property shall not count
towards the 70% requirement, and the Administrative Agent may send a notice to the Borrower and the Lenders that the then outstanding
Borrowing Base shall be reduced by an amount as determined by the Majority Lenders to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with
the requirement to provide acceptable title information on 70% of the present value of the Borrower’s Proved Reserves evaluated
by such Reserve Report. This new Borrowing Base shall become effective immediately after receipt of such notice.”


 


J.           Article
VIII of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new Section 8.17 immediately after the existing Section
8.16:


 


“Section 8.17         Keepwell.
The Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed
from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under each Loan Document or any Lender Swap Agreement
in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that the Borrower shall only be liable under this Section 8.17 for
the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 8.17
or otherwise under this Agreement voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not
for any greater amount). The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.17 shall remain in full force and effect
until all Indebtedness has been repaid in full. The Parent Guarantor intends that this Section 8.17 constitute, and
this Section 8.17 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit
of each other Obligor for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.”

ratio of Annualized EBITDA as of such date to Interest Expense to be less than 2.75 to 1.00, and (ii) as of the last day of any

of Funded Debt to EBITDA. The Borrower will not, (i) as of each of June 30, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013,
permit its ratio of Funded Debt as of such time to Annualized EBITDA to exceed 4.00 to 1.00, and (ii) as of the last day of any
fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014, permit its ratio of Funded Debt as of such time to EBITDA
for the four quarter period then ended to exceed 4.00 to 1.00.”

“Section 9.12         Sale
of Properties. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, sell, assign, farm-out, convey or otherwise transfer
any Property except for (a) the sale of Hydrocarbons in the ordinary course of business; (b) farmouts of undeveloped acreage and

Asset Dispositions pursuant to the WIIP); provided that (1) all of the consideration received in respect to such Asset Disposition
shall be cash, (2) the consideration received shall be equal to or greater than the fair market value thereof (as reasonably determined
by the Borrower and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer
of the Borrower certifying to that effect), and (3) if such sale or other disposition of Oil and Gas Property included in the
most recently delivered Reserve Report during any period between two successive Scheduled Redeterminations has a Recognized Value,
individually or in the aggregate, in excess of five percent of the then current Borrowing Base, the Borrowing Base shall be reduced,
effective immediately upon such sale or disposition, by the amount of the Recognized Value of the assets included in such Asset
Disposition in the then current Borrowing Base as determined by the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders in their discretion.”


 




    	THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT AND ASSIGNMENT– Page 4



    	 



    

  


M.Section
9.18 of the Credit Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:


 


“Section
9.18         Swap Agreements. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any
Subsidiary to, enter into any Swap Agreements with any Person other than (a) Swap Agreements in respect of commodities (i) which
are for combined durations of not more than sixty (60) months, (ii) with an Approved Counterparty, and (iii) the notional volumes
for which (when aggregated with other commodity Swap Agreements then in effect other than basis differential swaps on volumes
already hedged pursuant to other Swap Agreements) do not exceed, as of the date such Swap Agreement is executed, 85% of the reasonably
anticipated Projected Production from Proved Developed Producing Reserves during the period during which such Swap Agreement is
in effect for each of crude oil and natural gas, calculated separately (natural gas liquids shall be included in crude oil volumes
at 50% of the reasonably anticipated Projected Production from Proved Developed Producing Reserves) and (b) Swap Agreements in
respect of interest rates with an Approved Counterparty with the purpose and effect of fixing interest rates on a principal amount
of indebtedness of the Borrower that is accruing interest at a variable rate, provided that (i) the aggregate notional
amount of such contracts never exceeds 75% of the anticipated outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness to be hedged by
such contracts or an average of such principal balances calculated by using a generally accepted method of matching interest swap
contracts to declining principal balances, and (ii) the floating rate index of each such contract generally matches the index
used to determine the floating rates of interest on the corresponding indebtedness to be hedged by such contract; provided,
further, that if, at the end of any calendar month or for any other period as determined by the Administrative Agent and
the Majority Lenders, the aggregate notional volumes covered by Swap Agreements exceed 85% of such Projected Production from
Proved Developed Producing Reserves during the period during which such Swap Agreement is in effect for each of crude oil and
natural gas, calculated separately, in any month, the Borrower shall, or shall cause any Subsidiary to, either (X) unwind,
assign or terminate Swap Agreements with respect to such month such that the maximum aggregate notional volumes covered by all
remaining Swap Agreements with respect to such month shall not, in any event, exceed 85% of Projected Production of crude oil
or natural gas, as so reduced or (Y) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders
in their reasonable discretion to mitigate risks attendant to having Swap Agreements with such excess volumes, which arrangements
could include the posting of additional collateral to secure the Indebtedness or other acceptable arrangements.”


 


N.           Section
10.02(c) of the Credit Agreement is amended by inserting the following sentence at the end of the section:


 


“Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Excluded Swap Obligations shall not be Indebtedness of any Guarantor that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor.”


 


3.          Redetermination
of the Borrowing Base.         Effective as of the Effective Date, until the
next redetermination of the Borrowing Base in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.07 of the Credit Agreement on July
1, 2013 or such earlier date in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.07, which the Borrower has notified the Administrative
Agent that it has elected such date to be the date of an Interim Redetermination in accordance with Section 2.07(b) of the Credit
Agreement, the amount of the Borrowing Base shall be increased from $32,000,000 to $36,000,000. Both the Borrower, on the one
hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, agree that the redetermination(s) of the Borrowing Base
pursuant to this Section 3 shall constitute the March 1, 2013 Scheduled Redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section
2.07(b) of the Credit Agreement and not an Interim Redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.07(b) of the Credit
Agreement.
