LIMITED WAIVER AND ELEVENTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
THIS LIMITED WAIVER AND ELEVENTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of April 7, 2020, among LONESTAR RESOURCES AMERICA INC., a Delaware corporation ("Borrower"), the Guarantors party hereto, CITIBANK, N.A., a national banking association, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent") and as issuing bank (in such capacity, the "Issuing Bank"), and the other financial institutions executing this Agreement.
R E C I T A L S
A.The Borrower, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time (the "Lenders"), the Issuing Bank, and Administrative Agent are parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of July 28, 2015, as amended or otherwise modified by a Limited Consent and Waiver dated as of October 7, 2015, a First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of April 29, 2016, a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of May 19, 2016, a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of July 22, 2016, a Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of November 23, 2016, a Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver dated as of December 29, 2016, a Sixth Amendment and Joinder to Credit Agreement dated as of June 15, 2017, a Limited Waiver, Borrowing Base Redetermination Agreement, Amendment No. 7 to Credit Agreement dated as of January 4, 2018, Borrowing Base Redetermination Agreement and Amendment No. 8 to Credit Agreement dated as of May 24, 2018, a Consent Agreement dated as of September 28, 2018, a Ninth Amendment and Joinder to Credit Agreement dated as of November 15, 2018, and a Borrowing Base Redetermination and Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of June 17, 2019 (as so amended or otherwise modified and as may be further amended or otherwise modified from time to time, including, without limitation, by this Agreement, the "Credit Agreement").


B.The Borrower failed to cause the ratio of (i) consolidated current assets of the Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries (including the unused amount of the total Commitments, but excluding non-cash assets under ASC 815) to (ii) consolidated current liabilities of the Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries (excluding non-cash obligations under ASC 815 and current maturities under the Credit Agreement), to be greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019, as required under Section 9.01(b) of the Credit Agreement and failed to promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender written notice of such failure as required under Section 8.02(a) of the Credit Agreement (the "Designated Defaults").  The Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders waive the Designated Defaults and any Representation Defaults (as defined below).


C.The Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent that the Borrower will be unable to satisfy to the requirement to deliver financial statements under Section 8.01(a) of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal year of the Borrower ended December 31, 2019 by no later than 90 days after the end of such fiscal year (the "FY 2019 Annual Financials Timing Requirement").  The Borrower has requested that the Lenders consent to (x) a 45-day extension of such FY 2019 Annual Financials Timing Requirement and (y) delivery of financial statements for the fiscal year of the Borrower ended December 31, 2019 with a "going concern" or like qualification or exception (the "Consent Request").


D.Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, on the Agreement Effective Date, the Lenders wish to waive the Subject Defaults (as defined below) and agree to the Consent Request and to make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement, each as set forth below.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.Same Terms.




LIMITED WAIVER AND AMENDMENT - Page 1







(a)All terms used herein which are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meanings when used herein, unless the context hereof otherwise requires or provides.  In addition, (i) all references in the Loan Documents to the "Agreement" shall mean the Credit Agreement as the same shall hereafter be amended or otherwise modified from time to time, and (ii) all references in the Loan Documents to the "Loan Documents" shall mean the Loan Documents as the same shall hereafter be amended or otherwise modified from time to time.


(b)Section 1.04 of the Credit Agreement is hereby incorporated herein mutatis mutandis.


2.Limited Waiver and Consent.


(a)The Borrower and each Guarantor party hereto hereby acknowledge the existence of the Designated Defaults and each Default that may have arisen out of a representation or warranty made by the Borrower that no Default had occurred and was continuing (but only to the extent such representation or warranty was untrue solely due to the Designated Defaults) (the "Representation Defaults" and together with the Designated Defaults, the "Subject Defaults").  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the occurrence of the Agreement Effective Date, the Lenders hereby waive the Subject Defaults and agree to the Consent Request. 


(b)Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 8.01(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders agree that the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender not later than 135 days after the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, its audited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows as of the end of and for such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, all reported on by BDO or other independent public accountants of recognized national standing to the effect that such consolidated financial statements present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.


(c)The waivers and consents by the Lenders described in this Section 2 are limited to the Subject Defaults and the Consent Request.  Such waivers and consents are limited to the extent expressly described herein and shall not be construed to be a consent to, or a permanent waiver of, noncompliance with Section 8.01, 8.02 or 9.01(b) of the Credit Agreement, or any other terms, provisions, covenants, warranties, or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents.  The Lenders expressly reserve the right to exercise any rights and remedies available to them in connection with any other present or future Defaults with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other provision of any Loan Document other than the Subject Defaults.  The description herein of the Subject Defaults is based upon the information provided to the Lenders on or prior to the date hereof and shall not be deemed to exclude the existence of any other Defaults.  The failure of the Lenders to give notice to any Loan Party of any such other Defaults is not intended to be nor shall be a waiver thereof.  Each Loan Party hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Lenders require and will require strict performance by the Loan Parties of all of their respective obligations, agreements, and covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and no inaction or action by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Lender regarding any Default (including but not limited to the Subject Defaults) is intended to be or shall be a waiver thereof other than the waiver of the Subject Defaults expressly provided for in this Section 2.  Other than the waiver of the Subject Defaults expressly provided for in this Section 2, each Loan Party hereby also agrees and acknowledges that no course of dealing and no delay in exercising any right, power, or remedy conferred to any Lender in the Credit Agreement or in any other Loan Document or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any such right, power, or remedy (collectively, the "Lender Rights").  For the avoidance of doubt, each Loan Party also agrees and acknowledges that neither the waiver provided in this Agreement nor any other waiver provided by the Lenders prior to the date hereof shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any of the Lender Rights other than the waiver of the Subject Defaults expressly provided for in this Section 2 or such other waivers of specified Defaults expressly provided by the Lenders prior to the date hereof.

3.Amendments to Credit Agreement.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement and in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, as of the Agreement Effective Date, the following amendments to the Credit Agreement shall be made:


(a)Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new definitions in appropriate alphabetical order therein:


"Consolidated Cash Balance" means, at any time, the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, treasury bonds and bills, certificates of deposit, investments in money market funds and commercial paper, in each case held by the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, with the exception of royalty payable funds kept in separate bank accounts in Lonestar Operating, LLC and T-N-T Operating, Inc.


"Consolidated Cash Balance Excess Period" has the meaning given such term in Section 3.04(c)(iv).


(b)Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting the word "and" at the end of clause (v) thereof, (ii) re-numbering clause (vi) thereof to become clause (vii), and (iii) adding a new clause (vi) immediately following clause (v) thereof as follows:


(vi)    the Consolidated Cash Balance (without regard to the requested Borrowing) and the pro forma Consolidated Cash Balance (giving effect to the requested Borrowing) as of the end of the third Business Day after such requested Borrowing will be funded; and
(c)Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by restating the penultimate paragraph thereof in its entirety as follows:


If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.  Each Borrowing Request shall constitute a representation (1) that the amount of the requested Borrowing shall not cause the total Revolving Credit Exposures to exceed the total Commitments (i.e., the lesser of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts and the then effective Borrowing Base) and (2) that as of the end of the third Business Day after such requested Borrowing will be funded, after giving pro forma effect to the requested Borrowing, the Consolidated Cash Balance shall not exceed $10,000,000. 


(d)Section 3.04(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) re-numbering clauses (iv) and (v) to become clauses (v) and (vi), respectively, and (ii) adding a new clause (iv) immediately following clause (iii) thereof as follows:


(iv)    If, at any time, (A) there are outstanding Borrowings or LC Exposure and (B) the Consolidated Cash Balance exceeds $10,000,000 as of the end of any four consecutive Business Days (such four Business Day period, the "Consolidated Cash Balance Excess Period"), then the Borrower shall, on or before the end of such Consolidated Cash Balance Excess Period, (x) prepay the Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess as of the end of the Consolidated Cash Balance Excess Period, and (y) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of any LC Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as cash collateral as provided in Section 2.08(j), in each case.
(e)Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting new clause (f) at the end thereof:


LIMITED WAIVER AND AMENDMENT - Page 3









(f)    (i) The Consolidated Cash Balance as of the day of the Borrowing Request, and (ii) the pro forma Consolidated Cash Balance as of the end of the third Business Day after such Borrowing will be funded, in each case, shall not exceed $10,000,000.
(f)Exhibit B (Form of Borrowing Request) to the Credit Agreement is hereby restated in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto.
