unless otherwise expressly defined herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement as amended herein (as defined below). 

WITNESSETH: 

WHEREAS, Borrower, the Guarantors, Administrative Agent and the Lenders have entered into that certain Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement dated as of July 31, 2013 (as the same has been and may hereafter be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”); and 

WHEREAS, Administrative Agent, the Lenders, Borrower and the Guarantors desire to amend the Credit Agreement as provided herein upon

 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements

SECTION 1. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver in writing of each condition precedent set forth in

 SECTION 3. Reallocation of Commitments. The Lenders have agreed among themselves to reallocate
their respective Commitments, and to, among other things, permit one or more of the Lenders to increase their respective Commitments under the Credit Agreement (each, an “Increasing Lender”). Each of the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower hereby consents to (i) the reallocation of the Commitments and (ii) the increase in each Increasing Lender’s Commitment. On the date this Amendment becomes effective and after giving effect to such reallocation, increase and
assignment of the Aggregate Commitment, the Commitment of each Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.01 of the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment. Each Lender hereby consents to the Commitments set forth on Schedule
2.01 of the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment. The reallocation of the Aggregate Commitment among the Lenders shall be deemed to have been consummated pursuant to the terms of the Assignment and Assumption attached as
Exhibit A to the Credit Agreement as if the Lenders had executed an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such reallocation. The increase in each Increasing Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to have been consummated pursuant
to the terms of the Commitment Increase Certificate attached as Exhibit F-1 to the Credit Agreement as if such Increasing Lender had executed a Commitment Increase Certificate with respect to such increase. The Administrative Agent hereby
waives the $3,500 processing and recordation fee set forth in clause (C) of Section 11.04(b)(ii) and Section 11.04(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement with respect to the increase in the Commitment of each Increasing Lender and the
assignments and reallocations contemplated by this Section 3. To the extent requested by any Lender and in accordance with Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within the time period
prescribed by Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement, any amounts required to be paid by the Borrower under Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement in the event the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or the conversion of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto is required in connection with the reallocation and increase contemplated by this Section 3. 

SECTION 4. Conditions. The amendments to the Credit Agreement contained in Section 1 of this Amendment, the redetermination of the
Borrowing Base contained in Section 2 of this Amendment, and the reallocation of the Commitments contained in Section 3 of this Amendment shall be effective as of the Third Amendment Effective Date upon the satisfaction of
each of the conditions set forth in this Section 4.

representation or warranty which is qualified by reference to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” is true and correct in all respects). 

5.2 Corporate Authority; No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Credit Party of this Amendment and all documents,

Authority and do not violate or constitute a default under any provision of any applicable law or other agreements binding upon such Credit Party or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the assets of such Credit Party except
for Liens permitted under Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement. 
 5.3 Enforceability. This Amendment has been duly
executed and delivered by each Credit Party and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws affecting creditor’s rights generally, and (ii) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general application.

Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed by each Credit Party. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that the amendments and modifications herein contained
shall in no manner affect or impair the liabilities, duties and obligations of any Credit Party under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or the Liens securing the payment and performance thereof.

 6.4 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from
multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. Delivery of photocopies of the signature pages to this Amendment by facsimile or electronic mail shall be

PARTIES. 
 6.6 Headings. The headings, captions and arrangements used in this Amendment are, unless specified otherwise, for
convenience only and shall not be deemed to limit, amplify or modify the terms of this Amendment, nor affect the meaning thereof. 

6.7 Severability. Any provision of this Amendment held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 6.8 Governing Law. This Amendment
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

Documents. 
 (a) This Amendment shall be deemed to constitute a Loan Document for all purposes and in all respects. Each reference in

other instruments executed and delivered pursuant to the Credit Agreement to the “Credit Agreement”, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.
