 Subject to the provisions in the Loan Documents, each

 Section 2.1 Revolving Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, each Lender severally but not jointly agrees to lend to
Borrower an amount equal to that Lender’s Commitment Percentage of requested Borrowings under the Revolving Facility, which Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow under this agreement subject to the following conditions:

 (c) The Commitment Usage may never exceed at any time, the lesser of either the total Commitments or the Borrowing Base.

  

 14 







 Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedure. The following procedures apply to Borrowings: 
  
 (a) Borrowing Request. Borrower may request a Borrowing by making or
delivering a Borrowing Request (that may be telephonic if confirmed immediately in writing by 2:00 p.m. on the same Business Day) to Administrative Agent, which is irrevocable and binding on Borrower, stating the Type, amount, and Interest Period
for each Borrowing and which must be received by Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. on the (i) third Business Day before the date on which funds are requested (which shall be a Business Day) (the “Borrowing Date”)
for any LIBOR-Rate Borrowing or (ii) Borrowing Date for any Base-Rate Borrowing. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of any such Borrowing Request. 
  
 (b) Funding. Each Lender shall remit its Commitment Percentage of each requested Borrowing to Administrative
Agent’s principal office in New York, New York, in funds that are available for immediate use by Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. on the applicable Borrowing Date. Subject to receipt of those funds, Administrative Agent shall (unless to its
actual knowledge any of the applicable conditions precedent have not been satisfied by Borrower or waived by the requisite Lenders under Section 14.8) make those funds available to Borrower by (at Borrower’s option) (i) wiring the
funds to or for the account of Borrower at the direction of Borrower or (ii) depositing the funds in an account designated by Borrower. 
  
 (c) Funding Assumed. Absent contrary written notice from a Lender, Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made its Commitment
Percentage of the requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent on the applicable Borrowing Date, and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make available to Borrower a corresponding
amount. If a Lender fails to make its Commitment Percentage of any requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent on the applicable Borrowing Date, Administrative Agent may recover the applicable amount on demand, (i) from that Lender
together with interest, commencing on the Borrowing Date and ending on (but excluding) the date Administrative Agent recovers the amount from that Lender, at an annual interest rate equal to the Federal-Funds Rate or (ii) if that Lender fails
to pay its amount upon demand, then from Borrower. No Lender is responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Commitment Percentage of any Borrowing available as required by Section 2.2(b); however, failure of any Lender to make
its Commitment Percentage of any Borrowing so available does not excuse any other Lender from making its Commitment Percentage of any Borrowing so available. 
  
 Section 2.3 Letters of Credit. 
  
 (a) Conditions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement Issuing Lender agrees to issue LCs upon Borrower’s making or delivering
an LC Request and delivering an LC Agreement, both of which must be received by the Issuing Lender no later than the third Business Day before the Business Day on which the requested LC is to be issued, so long as (i) no LC may expire after the
earlier to occur of the first anniversary of its issuance date or three Business Days before the Termination Date, (ii) the LC Exposure (after giving effect to such requested LC) would not exceed $10,000,000 and (iii) the limitations in
Section 2.1(c) are not exceeded. 
  

 15 







 (b) Participation. Immediately upon Issuing Lender’s issuance of any LC, Issuing Lender shall
be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Lender, and each other Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in the LC and all applicable Rights of Issuing Lender in the LC — other than Rights to receive certain fees provided in Section 4.3 to be for the Issuing Lender’s
sole account. 
  
 (c) Reimbursement Obligation. To induce
Issuing Lender to issue and maintain LCs, and to induce Lenders to participate in issued LCs, Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse Issuing Lender (i) on the first Business Day after an Issuing Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower
that it has made payment under an LC, the amount paid by Issuing Lender and (ii) within five Business Days after demand, the amount of any additional fees Administrative Agent customarily charges for amending LCs Agreements, for honoring
drafts, and for taking similar action in connection with letters of credit. If Borrower has not reimbursed Issuing Lender for any drafts paid by the date on which reimbursement is required under this section, then Administrative Agent is irrevocably
authorized to fund Borrower’s reimbursement obligations as a Base-Rate Borrowing under the Revolving Facility if proceeds are available under the Revolving Facility and if the conditions in this agreement for such a Borrowing (other than any
notice requirements or minimum funding amounts) have, to Administrative Agent’s knowledge, been satisfied. The proceeds of that Borrowing shall be advanced directly to Issuing Lender to pay Borrower’s unpaid reimbursement obligations. If
funds cannot be advanced under the Revolving Facility, then Borrower’s reimbursement obligation shall constitute a demand obligation. Borrower’s obligations under this section are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances
and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim, or defense to payment that Borrower may have at any time against Issuing Lender or any other Person. From the date that Issuing Lender pays a draft under a LC until Borrower either reimburses or is
obligated to reimburse Issuing Lender for that draft under this section, the amount of that draft bears interest payable to Issuing Lender at the rate then applicable to Base-Rate Borrowings. From the due date of the respective amounts due under
this section, to the date paid (including any payment from proceeds of a Base-Rate Borrowing), unpaid reimbursement amounts accrue interest that is payable on demand at the Default Rate. 
  
 (d) General. Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of the date and amount of any
draft presented for honor under any LC (but failure to give notice will not affect Borrower’s obligations under this agreement). Issuing Lender shall pay the requested amount upon presentment of a draft unless presentment on its face does not
comply with the terms of the applicable LC. When making payment, Issuing Lender may disregard (i) any default or potential default that exists under any other agreement and (ii) obligations under any other agreement that have or have not
been performed by the beneficiary or any other Person (and Issuing Lender is not liable for any of those obligations). Borrower’s reimbursement obligations to Issuing Lender and Lenders, and each Lender’s obligations to Issuing Lender,
under this section are absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and Issuing Lender is not responsible for (i) the validity, enforceability, sufficiency, accuracy, or genuineness of documents or endorsements (even if they are in any respect
invalid, unenforceable, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent, or forged), (ii) any dispute by any Company with or any Company’s claims, setoffs, defenses, counterclaims, or other Rights against Issuing Lender, any

 Lender, or any other Person or (iii) the occurrence of any Potential Default or Default. However, nothing in this
agreement constitutes a waiver of Borrower’s Rights to assert any claim or defense based upon the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Lender. The Issuing Lender shall promptly pay to Administrative Agent for Administrative Agent to
promptly distribute reimbursement payments received from Borrower to all Lenders according to their Pro Rata Part of the Revolving Facility. 
  
 (e) Obligation of Lenders. If Borrower fails to reimburse Issuing Lender as provided in Section 2.3(c) by the date on which reimbursement is
due under that section, and funds cannot be advanced under the Revolving Facility to satisfy the reimbursement obligations, then Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of Borrower’s failure, of the date and amount paid, and of
each Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the unreimbursed amount. Each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally make available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds its Commitment Percentage of the unpaid reimbursement
obligation, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(c). Funds are due and payable to Administrative Agent before the close of business on the Business Day when Administrative Agent gives notice to each Lender of Borrower’s reimbursement
failure (if notice is given before 1:00 p.m.) or on the next succeeding Business Day (if notice is given after 1:00 p.m.). All amounts payable by any Lender accrue interest after the due date at the Federal-Funds Rate from the day the applicable
draft or draw is paid by Administrative Agent to (but not including) the date the amount is paid by the Lender to Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of those funds, Administrative Agent shall make them available to the Issuing Lender. 
  
 (f) Duties of Issuing Lender. Issuing Lender agrees with each Lender
that it will exercise and give the same care and attention to each LC as it gives to its other letters of credit. Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any draft under any LC, Issuing Lender has no responsibility to obtain any document
(other than any documents expressly required by the respective LC) or to ascertain or inquire as to any document’s validity, enforceability, sufficiency, accuracy, or genuineness or the authority of any Person delivering it. Neither Issuing
Lender nor its Representatives will be liable to any Lender or any Company for any LC’s use or for any beneficiary’s acts or omissions. Any action, inaction, error, delay, or omission taken or suffered by Issuing Lender or any of its
Representatives in connection with any LC, applicable drafts or documents, or the transmission, dispatch, or delivery of any related message or advice, if in good faith and in conformity with applicable Laws and in accordance with the standards of
care specified in the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 (as amended or modified), is binding upon the Companies and Lenders and, except as provided in
Section 2.3(d), does not place Issuing Lender or any of its Representatives under any resulting liability to any Company or any Lender. Administrative Agent is not liable to any Company or any Lender for any action taken or omitted, in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, by Issuing Lender or its Representative in connection with any LC. 
  
 (g) Cash Collateral. If (i) any Default shall occur and be continuing and Borrower receives notice from Administrative Agent or the
Determining Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.3(g), or (ii) Borrower is required to pay to Administrative Agent the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant
to Section 3.2(c), then Borrower shall deposit, in an account with 
  

 17 







 Administrative Agent, in the name of Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to,
in the case of a Default, the LC Exposure, and in the case of a payment required by Section 3.2(c), the amount of such excess as provided in Section 3.2(c), as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the
obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Default with respect to Borrower or any
Restricted Company described in Section 11.3. Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Lender and the Lenders, an exclusive first priority and continuing perfected security interest in and Lien on such account
and all cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time deposited or held in such account, all deposits or wire transfers made thereto, any and all investments purchased with funds deposited in such account, all
interest, dividends, cash, instruments, financial assets and other Property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise payable in respect of, or in exchange for, any or all of the foregoing, and all proceeds, products, accessions, rents,
profits, income and benefits therefrom, and any substitutions and replacements therefor. Borrower’s obligation to deposit amounts pursuant to this Section 2.3(g) shall be absolute and unconditional, without regard to whether any
beneficiary of any LC has attempted to draw down all or a portion of such amount under the terms of such LC, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be subject to any defense or be affected by a right of set-off,
counterclaim or recoupment which Borrower or any Restricted Company may now or hereafter have against any such beneficiary, Issuing Lender, Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person for any reason whatsoever. Such deposit shall be held
as collateral securing the payment and performance of Borrower’s and the Restricted Companies’ obligations under this agreement and the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the
exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the direction of Borrower in investments of the type described in paragraphs 1 through 8 of
Schedule 9.4 at Borrower’s sole risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by Administrative Agent
to reimburse Issuing Lender for LC disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the
maturity of the Borrowings has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of Borrower and the Restricted Companies under this agreement or the other Loan Documents. If Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral
hereunder as a result of the occurrence of a Default, and Borrower is not otherwise required to pay to Administrative Agent the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.2(c), then such amount
(to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrower within three Business Days after all Defaults have been cured or waived. 
  
 (h) INDEMNIFICATION. BORROWER SHALL PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, PAY, AND SAVE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE
REPRESENTATIVES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, LOSSES, COSTS, CHARGES, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY INCUR OR BE SUBJECT TO AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE
ISSUANCE OF ANY LC, ANY DISPUTE ABOUT IT, OR THE FAILURE OF 
  

 18 







 ISSUING LENDER TO HONOR A DRAW REQUEST UNDER ANY LC AS A RESULT OF ANY ACT OR OMISSION (WHETHER RIGHT OR WRONG) OF ANY
PRESENT OR FUTURE TRIBUNAL. HOWEVER, NO PERSON IS ENTITLED TO INDEMNITY UNDER THE FOREGOING FOR ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 
  
 (i) LC Agreements. Although referenced in any LC, terms of any particular agreement or other obligation to the beneficiary are not incorporated
into this agreement in any manner. The fees and other amounts payable with respect to each LC are as provided in this agreement, drafts under each LC are part of the Obligation, only the events specified in this agreement as a Default shall
constitute a default under any LC, and the terms of this agreement control any conflict between the terms of this agreement and any LC Agreement. 
  
 Section 2.4 Borrowing Notices and LC Requests. Each Borrowing Request (whether telephonic or written) and LC Request constitutes a representation
and warranty by Borrower that as of the Borrowing Date or the date of issuance of the requested LC, as the case may be, that all of the conditions precedent in Article VI have been satisfied. 
  
 Section 2.5 Termination. Borrower may — upon giving at least five
Business Days prior written and irrevocable notice to Administrative Agent — terminate all or part of the Commitments. Each partial termination must be in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 or a greater integral multiple of $1,000,000 and
must be ratable in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage. 
  
 Section 2.6 Borrowing Base Determinations. 
  
 (a) The Borrowing Base as of the Closing Date is acknowledged by Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders to be $75,000,000.00. 
  
 (b) The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined by Administrative Agent semi-annually through the Termination Date, within
ninety (90) days after each December 31 and June 30, with the first such Borrowing Base redetermination under this agreement to be made on or before March 31, 2006, for the Mineral Interests as of December 31, 2005, on the
basis of information supplied by Borrower in compliance with the provisions of this agreement, including, without limitation, the Reserve Reports, and all other information available. In addition to the determinations of the Borrowing Base required
pursuant to this Section 2.6(b), one additional special determination thereof may be requested during any calendar year by either Borrower or the Determining Lenders. Upon any such special determination of the Borrowing Base, if requested by
Administrative Agent, Borrower shall submit both (i) a current report of a firm of independent petroleum engineers acceptable to Administrative Agent, prepared in accordance with customary standards and procedures of the petroleum industry
which report shall (A) evaluate the Mineral Interests subject to such redetermination (in the same manner as provided in this Section 2.6 for other such redeterminations) and (B) be dated within sixty (60) days of such requested
redetermination, and (ii) title opinions, environmental reports and other information reasonably requested by and in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent, for those additional Mineral Interests which Borrower desires to be
considered within the Borrowing Base. Adjustments to the Borrowing Base based upon the addition of Mineral 
  

 19 







 Interests shall not be effective prior to the date of filing and recording of such Collateral Documents as required by
Administrative Agent. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrowing Base shall be subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with Section 8.18(c) and Section 9.10(e). 
  
 (c) Upon each Borrowing Base redetermination, Administrative Agent shall
notify each Lender of its recommendation for such redetermined Borrowing Base and the Lenders shall have ten (10) Business Days to approve or reject such recommendation by written notice to Administrative Agent. The proposed Borrowing Base must
be approved by the Determining Lenders; provided, however, that no proposed increase in the Borrowing Base shall be effective unless approved by all of the Lenders. In the event that the Determining Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable,
cannot agree as to the amount of the redetermined Borrowing Base, the Borrowing Base shall be and be deemed to be the lowest amount determined by any Lender. Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower verbally (confirming such notice promptly in
writing) of such determination by the Lenders, and the Borrowing Base so communicated to Borrower shall become effective upon such verbal notification and shall remain in effect until the next subsequent Borrowing Base redetermination in accordance
with the terms hereof. 
  
 (d) The Borrowing Base shall represent
the determination by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in their sole discretion and in accordance with their standard engineering and lending policies and practices customary for loans of this nature, of the value, for loan purposes, of the
Mortgaged Properties, which Borrower acknowledges may require new and independent credit approvals by each Lender. Furthermore, Borrower acknowledges that the determination of the Borrowing Base contains an equity cushion (market value in excess of
loan value), which is acknowledged by Borrower to be essential for the adequate protection of the Lenders. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
 TERMS OF PAYMENT 
  
 Section 3.1 Notes and Payments. 
  
 (a) Notes. The Principal Debt is evidenced by the Notes, one payable
to each Lender in amount equal to its Pro Rata Part of $200,000,000. Borrower understands, acknowledges and agrees that the execution and delivery by Borrower of each Lender’s Note in such original principal amount does not imply or infer, and
shall not be construed to create, any obligation or commitment on the part of any Lender to make any advances or issue or participate in any LC’s in excess of, in the aggregate, the lesser of the Borrowing Base or the Commitments; the amount
represented by such Lender’s Note being for ease of administration only in the event that the Lenders and Borrower may hereafter agree, in writing, to increase the Borrowing Base in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. 

 
 (b) Payment. Borrower must make each payment and prepayment on the
Obligation to Administrative Agent’s principal office in New York, New York in immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m. on the day due; otherwise, but subject to Section 3.8, those funds continue to accrue interest as if they were received
on the next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender the part of any payment or prepayment to which that Lender is entitled under this agreement on the same day Administrative Agent receives the funds from Borrower.

  

 20 







 (c) Payment Assumed. Unless Administrative Agent has received notice from Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due under this agreement that Borrower will not make that payment in full, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made the full payment due and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon that assumption, cause
to be distributed to each Lender on that date the amount then due to each Lender. If and to the extent Borrower does not make the full payment due to Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to Administrative Agent on demand the amount
distributed to that Lender by Administrative Agent together with interest for each day from the date that Lender received payment from Administrative Agent until the date that Lender repays Administrative Agent (unless such repayment is made on the
same day as such distribution), at an interest rate equal to the Federal-Funds Rate. 
  
 Section 3.2 Interest and Principal Payments. 
  
 (a) Interest. Accrued interest on each LIBOR-Rate Borrowing is due and payable on the last day of its respective Interest Period. If any Interest Period for a LIBOR-Rate Borrowing is greater than three months,
then accrued interest is also due and payable on the date three months after the commencement of the Interest Period. Accrued interest on each Base-Rate Borrowing is due and payable on the last day of each March, June, September, and December —
commencing on the first of those dates that follows the Closing Date — and on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.5 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any
repayment or prepayment of any Borrowing (other than an optional prepayment of a Base-Rate Borrowing prior to the Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or
prepayment, and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any LIBOR-Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such LIBOR-Rate Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

  
 (b) Principal. The Principal Debt is due and payable on
the Termination Date. Before that date, Borrower may at any time prepay, without penalty and in whole or in part, the Principal Debt provided that (i) each voluntary partial prepayment must be in a principal amount not less than $500,000 or a
greater integral multiple of $100,000 and (ii) Borrower shall pay any related Funding Loss upon demand. Conversions under Section 3.10 are not prepayments. 
  
 (c) Revolving Facility-Mandatory Prepayments. 
  
 (i) If, after giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.5, the Commitment
Usage exceeds the total Commitments, then Borrower shall (A) prepay the Borrowings on the date of such termination or reduction in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and (B) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the
Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, pay to Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as cash collateral as provided in Section 2.3(g). 
  

 21 







 (ii) Upon any redetermination of or adjustment to the amount of the Borrowing Base in accordance with
Section 2.6 or Section 8.18(c), if the Commitment Usage exceeds the redetermined or adjusted Borrowing Base, then Borrower shall (A) prepay the Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and (B) if any
excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, pay to Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as cash collateral as provided in Section 2.3(g). Borrower shall be
obligated to make such prepayment and/or deposit of cash collateral in six (6) monthly installments, each in the amount of one-sixth (1/6th) of such excess, the first such installment becoming due and payable on the third Business Day
following the effective date of the redetermination or the date the adjustment occurs, with each subsequent installment being due on the numerically corresponding date in each succeeding calendar month; provided that all payments required to be made
pursuant to this Section 3.2(c)(ii) must be made on or prior to the Termination Date. 
  
 (iii) Upon any adjustments to the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 9.10(e), if the Commitment Usage exceeds the Borrowing Base as adjusted, then Borrower shall (A) prepay the Borrowings in an aggregate
principal amount equal to such excess, and (B) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, pay to Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as cash
collateral as provided in Section 2.3(g). Borrower shall be obligated to make such prepayment and/or deposit of cash collateral on the date it or any Restricted Company receives cash proceeds as a result of such disposition; provided that all
payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.2(c)(iii) must be made on or prior to the Termination Date. 
  
 (iv) Each prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) shall be applied ratably to the Borrowings included in the prepaid Borrowings.
Prepayments pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.2(a). All related Funding Losses as a result of any prepayment required by this Section 3.2(c) shall be payable
on demand. 
  
 Section 3.3 Interest Options. Except that
the LIBOR Rate may not be selected when a Default or Potential Default exists and except as otherwise provided in this agreement, Borrowings bear interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of either (a) the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin or the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (in each case as designated or deemed designated by Borrower), as the case may be or (b) the Maximum Rate. Each change in the Base Rate and Maximum Rate is effective, without notice to
Borrower or any other Person, upon the effective date of change. 
  
 Section 3.4 Quotation of Rates. Borrower may call Administrative Agent before delivering a Borrowing Request to receive an indication of the interest rates then in effect, but the indicated rates do not bind Administrative Agent or
Lenders or affect the interest rate that is actually in effect when Borrower makes a Borrowing request or on the Borrowing Date. 
  
 Section 3.5 Default Rate. If permitted by Law, from and after the occurrence of any Default, or at any time during which a Borrowing Base
Deficiency exists, all Principal Debt, reimbursement obligations in connection with LCs, and other amounts constituting the Obligation shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid, regardless whether payment is made before or after entry of a
judgment. 
  

 22 







 Section 3.6 Interest Recapture. If the designated interest rate applicable to any Borrowing
exceeds the Maximum Rate, the interest rate on that Borrowing is limited to the Maximum Rate, but any subsequent reductions in the designated rate shall not reduce the interest rate thereon below the Maximum Rate until the total amount of accrued
interest equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if that designated rate had always been in effect. If at maturity (stated or by acceleration), or at final payment of the Notes, the total interest paid or accrued is less than the
interest that would have accrued if the designated rates had always been in effect, then, at that time and to the extent permitted by Law, Borrower shall pay an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of the amount of interest
that would have accrued if the designated rates had always been in effect and the amount of interest that would have accrued if the Maximum Rate had always been in effect and (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued on the Notes.

  
 Section 3.7 Interest Calculations. Interest will be
calculated on the basis of actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed but computed as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days (unless the calculation would result in an interest rate greater than the
Maximum Rate or in the case of interest on Base-Rate Borrowings in which event interest will be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be). All interest rate determinations and calculations by Administrative Agent are
conclusive and binding absent manifest error. 
  
 Section 3.8
Maximum Rate. Regardless of any provision contained in any Loan Document, no Lender is entitled to contract for, charge, take, reserve, receive, or apply, as interest on all or any part of the Obligation, any amount in excess of the Maximum
Rate, and, if Lenders ever do so, then any excess shall be treated as a partial prepayment of principal and any remaining excess shall be refunded to Borrower. In determining if the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and
Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law, (a) treat all Borrowings as but a single extension of credit (and Lenders and Borrower agree that is the case and that provision in this agreement for multiple Borrowings is
for convenience only), (b) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (c) exclude voluntary prepayments and their effects and (d) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total
amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligation. However, if the Obligation are paid in full before the end of their full contemplated term, and if the interest received for its actual period of existence exceeds the
Maximum Amount, Lenders shall refund any excess (and Lenders may not, to the extent permitted by Law, be subject to any penalties provided by any Laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving, or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum
Amount). If the Laws of the State of Texas are applicable for purposes of determining the “Maximum Rate” or the “Maximum Amount,” then those terms mean the “indicated (weekly) ceiling” from time to time in
effect as determined in accordance with Section 303.301 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended. Borrower agrees that Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty
accounts), does not apply to the Obligation. 
  

 23 







 Section 3.9 Interest Periods. When Borrower requests any LIBOR-Rate Borrowing, Borrower may elect
the applicable interest period (each an “Interest Period”), which may be, at Borrower’s option, one, two, three, or six months for LIBOR-Rate Borrowings, subject to Section 14.1 and the following conditions: (a) the
initial Interest Period for a LIBOR-Rate Borrowing commences on the applicable Borrowing Date or conversion date, and each subsequent Interest Period applicable to any Borrowing commences on the day when the next preceding applicable Interest Period
expires, (b) if any Interest Period for a LIBOR-Rate Borrowing begins on a day for which no numerically corresponding Business Day in the calendar month at the end of the Interest Period exists, then the Interest Period ends on the last
Business Day of that calendar month, (c) if Borrower is required to pay any of a LIBOR-Rate Borrowing before the end of its Interest Period in order to comply with the payment provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall also pay any
related Funding Loss and (d) no more than five Interest Periods may be in effect at one time. 
  
 Section 3.10 Conversions. Subject to the dollar limits of Section 2.1(b) and provided that Borrower may not convert to or select a new
Interest Period for a LIBOR-Rate Borrowing at any time when a Default or Potential Default exists, Borrower may (a) convert a LIBOR-Rate Borrowing on the last day of the applicable Interest Period to a Base-Rate Borrowing, (b) convert a
Base-Rate Borrowing at any time to a LIBOR-Rate Borrowing and (c) elect a new Interest Period for a LIBOR-Rate Borrowing. That election may be made by telephonic request to Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. on the third Business Day
before the conversion date or the last day of the Interest Period, as the case may be (for conversion to a LIBOR-Rate Borrowing or election of a new Interest Period), and no later than 10:00 a.m. on the last day of the Interest Period (for
conversion to a Base-Rate Borrowing). Borrower shall provide a Conversion Notice to Administrative Agent no later than two days after the date of the conversion or election. Absent Borrower’s telephonic request for conversion or election of a
new Interest Period or if a Default or Potential Default exists, then, a LIBOR-Rate Borrowing shall be deemed converted to a Base-Rate Borrowing effective when the applicable Interest Period expires. 
  
 Section 3.11 Order of Application. 
  
 (a) No Default. If no Default or Potential Default exists, any
payment shall be applied to the Obligation — except as otherwise specifically provided in the Loan Documents — in the order and manner as Borrower directs. 
  
 (b) Default. If a Default or Potential Default exists or if Borrower fails to give direction, any payment (including
proceeds from the exercise of any Rights) shall be applied in the following order: (i) to all fees and expenses for which Administrative Agent has not been paid or reimbursed in accordance with the Loan Documents (and if such payment is less
than all unpaid or unreimbursed fees and expenses, then the payment shall be paid against unpaid and unreimbursed fees and expenses in the order of incurrence or due date), (ii) to all fees and expenses for which any Lender has not been paid or
reimbursed in accordance with the Loan Documents (and if such payment is less than all unpaid or unreimbursed fees and expenses, then the payment shall be paid against unpaid and unreimbursed fees and expenses in the order of incurrence or due
date), (iii) pro rata to (A) the payment of the Principal Debt, and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, (B) any LC reimbursement obligations that are due and payable and that 

  

 24 







 
remain unfunded by any Borrowing under the Revolving Facility, (C) any Debts, liabilities, or obligations owed by any Company to any Lender or its one
or more Affiliates under any Swap Agreement and (D) as a deposit with Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, as security for and payment of any subsequent LC reimbursement obligations and (iv) to the remaining Obligation in the
order and manner Determining Lenders deem appropriate. 
  
 (c)
Pro Rata. Each payment or prepayment shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Part of that payment or prepayment. 
  
 Section 3.12 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender obtains any payment or prepayment with respect to the Obligation (whether voluntary,
involuntary, or otherwise, including, without limitation, as a result of exercising its Rights under Section 3.13) that exceeds the part of that payment or prepayment that it is then entitled to receive under the Loan Documents, then that
Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders participations that will cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or prepayment ratably with each other Lender. If all or any portion of any excess payment or prepayment is subsequently
recovered from the purchasing Lender, then the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of the recovery. Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation from another Lender under this section may, to the
fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all of its Rights of payment (including the Right of offset) with respect to that participation as fully as if that Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of that participation.

  
 Section 3.13 Offset. If a Default exists, each Lender
is entitled to exercise (for the benefit of all Lenders in accordance with Section 3.12) the Rights of offset and banker’s Lien against each and every account and other property, or any interest therein, that any Company may now or
hereafter have with, or which is now or hereafter in the possession of, that Lender to the extent of the full amount of the Obligation owed (directly or participated) to it. 
  
 Section 3.14 Booking Borrowings. To the extent permitted by Law, any Lender may make, carry, or transfer its
Borrowings at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office or branch of any of its Affiliates. However, no Affiliate or branch is entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.16 than the transferor Lender would
have been entitled to receive with respect to those Borrowings, and a transfer may not be made if, as a direct result of it, Section 3.15 or Section 3.17 would apply to any of the Obligation. If any of the conditions of Section 3.16
or Section 3.17 ever apply to a Lender, that Lender shall carry or transfer its Borrowings at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office or branch of any of its Affiliates so long as the transfer is consistent with the
other provisions of this section, does not create any burden or adverse circumstance for that Lender that would not otherwise exist, and eliminates the conditions of Section 3.16 or Section 3.17 as applicable. 
  
 Section 3.15 Basis Unavailable for LIBOR Rate. If, on or before any
date when a LIBOR Rate is to be determined for a Borrowing, Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the basis for determining the applicable rate is not available, then Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders of that
determination (which is conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error) and the applicable Borrowing shall bear interest at the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Until Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that those
circumstances no longer exist, Lenders’ commitments under this agreement to make, or to convert to, LIBOR-Rate Borrowings, as the case may be, are suspended. 
  

 25 







 Section 3.16 Additional Costs. Each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to notify
Administrative Agent, the other Lenders, and Borrower within 180 days after it has actual knowledge that any circumstances exist that would give rise to any payment obligation by Borrower under clauses (a) through (c) below. Although no
Lender shall have any liability to Administrative Agent, any other Lender, or any Company for its failure to give that notice, Borrower is not obligated to pay any amounts under those clauses that arise, accrue, or are imposed more than 180 days
before that notice to the extent it is applicable to those amounts. Any Lender demanding payment of any additional costs under this section must generally be making similar demand for similar additional costs under credit agreements to which it is
party that contain similar provisions to this section. 
  
 (a)
Reserves. With respect to any or LIBOR-Rate Borrowing (i) if any present or future Law imposes, modifies, or deems applicable (or if compliance by any Lender with any requirement of any Tribunal results in) any requirement that any
reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental, or special reserves) be maintained (other than any reserve included in the Reserve Requirement), and if (ii) those reserves reduce any sums receivable by that
Lender under this agreement or increase the costs incurred by that Lender in advancing or maintaining any portion of any LIBOR-Rate Borrowing, then (iii) that Lender (through Administrative Agent) shall deliver to Borrower a certificate setting
forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount necessary to compensate it for its reduction or increase (which certificate is conclusive and binding absent manifest error) and (iv) Borrower shall pay that amount to that Lender within
five Business Days after demand. The provisions of and undertakings and indemnification in this clause (a) survive the satisfaction and payment of the Obligation and termination of this agreement. 
  
 (b) Capital Adequacy. With respect to any Commitment, Borrowing or LC
if any present or future Law regarding capital adequacy or compliance by Administrative Agent (as issuer of LCs) or any Lender with any request, directive, or requirement now existing or hereafter imposed by any Tribunal regarding capital adequacy,
or any change in its written policies or in the risk category of this transaction, reduces the rate of return on its capital as a consequence of its obligations under this agreement to a level below that which it otherwise could have achieved
(taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by it to be material (and it may, in determining the amount, utilize reasonable assumptions and allocations of costs and expenses and use any reasonable
averaging or attribution method in apportioning such costs to its customers generally), then (unless the effect is already reflected in the rate of interest then applicable under this agreement) Administrative Agent or that Lender (through
Administrative Agent) shall notify Borrower and deliver to Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount necessary to compensate it (which certificate is conclusive and binding absent manifest error), and
Borrower shall pay that amount to Administrative Agent or that Lender within five Business Days after demand. The provisions of and undertakings and indemnification in this clause (b) shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the Obligation
and termination of this agreement. 
  

 26 







 (c) Taxes. Subject to Section 3.19, any Taxes payable by Administrative Agent or any Lender
or ruled (by a Tribunal) payable by Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of this agreement or any other Loan Document shall, if permitted by Law, be paid by Borrower, together with interest and penalties, if any except for Taxes payable on
or measured by the overall net income of Administrative Agent or that Lender (or Administrative Agent or that Lender, as the case may be, together with any other Person with whom Administrative Agent or that Lender files a consolidated, combined,
unitary, or similar Tax return) and except for interest and penalties incurred as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or any Lender). Administrative Agent or that Lender (through Administrative Agent) shall
notify Borrower and deliver to Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of payable Taxes, which certificate is conclusive and binding (absent manifest error), and Borrower shall pay that amount to
Administrative Agent for its account or the account of that Lender, as the case may be within five Business Days after demand. If Administrative Agent or that Lender subsequently receives a refund of the Taxes paid to it by Borrower, then the
recipient shall promptly pay the refund to Borrower. 
  
 Section
3.17 Change in Laws. If any Law makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR-Rate Borrowings, then that Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent, and (a) as to undisbursed funds, that requested
Borrowing shall be made as a Base-Rate Borrowing and (b) as to any outstanding Borrowing (i) if maintaining the Borrowing until the last day of the applicable Interest Period is unlawful, the Borrowing shall be converted to a Base-Rate
Borrowing as of the date of notice, in which event Borrower will not be required to pay any related Funding Loss, or (ii) if not prohibited by Law, the Borrowing shall be converted to a Base-Rate Borrowing as of the last day of the applicable
Interest Period or (iii) if any conversion will not resolve the unlawfulness, Borrower shall promptly prepay the Borrowing, without penalty but with related Funding Loss. 
  
 Section 3.18 Funding Loss. Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against, and pay to it upon demand, any Funding Loss
of that Lender. When any Lender demands that Borrower pay any Funding Loss, that Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for imposing Funding Loss and the calculation of
the amount, which calculation is conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The provisions of and undertakings and indemnification in this section survive the satisfaction and payment of the Obligation and termination of this agreement.

  
 Section 3.19 Foreign Lenders, Participants, and
Assignees. Each Lender, Participant (by accepting a participation interest under this agreement), and Assignee (by executing an Assignment) that is not organized under the Laws of the United States of America or one of its states
(a) represents to Administrative Agent and Borrower that (i) no Taxes are required to be withheld by Administrative Agent or Borrower with respect to any payments to be made to it in respect of the Obligation and (ii) it has furnished
to Administrative Agent and Borrower two duly completed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or any other form acceptable to Administrative Agent and Borrower that entitles it to a complete exemption from U.S.
federal withholding Tax on all interest payments under the Loan Documents and (b) covenants to (i) provide Administrative Agent and Borrower a new Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or other form acceptable to Administrative Agent upon the expiration
or obsolescence according to Law of any previously delivered form, duly executed and completed 
  

 27 







 
by it, entitling it to a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax on all interest and fee payments under the Loan Documents and (ii) comply
from time to time with all Laws with regard to the withholding Tax exemption. If any of the foregoing is not true at any time or the applicable forms are not provided, then Borrower and Administrative Agent (without duplication) may deduct and
withhold from interest and fee payments under the Loan Documents any Tax at the maximum rate under the Code or other applicable Law, and amounts so deducted and withheld shall be treated as paid to that Lender for all purposes under the Loan
Documents.

 ARTICLE V 
 SECURITY 
  
 Section 5.1 Guaranty. Borrower shall cause Goodrich and all of
Goodrich’s present and future Subsidiaries — whether now existing or in the future formed or acquired as permitted by the Loan Documents — that are Restricted Companies to unconditionally guarantee the full payment and performance of
the Obligation by execution of a written guaranty agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent. 
  
 Section 5.2 Collateral. Borrower shall cause full payment and performance of the Obligation at all times to be secured by Lender Liens on
(a) at least 80% of the total value of the proved Mineral Interests evaluated in the most recently completed Reserve Report after giving effect to exploration and production activities, acquisitions, dispositions and production, (b) all of
the Equity Interests of Subsidiaries of Goodrich (as required by Section 8.11), (c) all other personal property of Borrower and each Restricted Company and (d) all of the other items and types of property — (together with the
additional collateral described in Section 2.3(g) and Section 5.3, if any, and the cash and non-cash proceeds of all of the foregoing, the “Collateral”) — described in the present and future Loan Documents creating
Lender Liens (said documents and any documents and instruments from time to time amending or supplementing the same are herein sometimes collectively called the “Collateral Documents”), including, without limitation, all such
property described in the Collateral Documents listed on Schedule 6 to this agreement. 
  
 Section 5.3 Collateral Account. In order to secure further the performance by Borrower of the Obligation and to effect and facilitate Administrative Agent’s right of offset, immediately following
Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower shall, and shall cause the other Restricted Companies to, execute such forms, authorizations, documents and instruments, and do such other things, as Administrative Agent shall request, in order to
require that pipeline companies, operators of the Mortgaged Properties and others (collectively, the “Purchasers”) purchasing (or acting as agents for, or making payments on behalf of, those purchasing) the oil, gas and other
minerals produced or to be produced from, or relating to, the Mineral Interests deliver to a post office box number specified by Administrative Agent all royalties, production payments, checks, cash, proceeds and monies now or hereafter payable by
the Purchasers (or any of them) on account of oil, gas or other minerals produced from or relating to the Mineral Interests or otherwise with respect to the Mineral Interests. Borrower agrees that all such royalties, payments and monies delivered to
such post office box shall be deposited by Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account at Administrative Agent styled “Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C. Production Account.” After the occurrence of a Default, Borrower shall, upon
receipt, deposit in the Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C. Production Account all such royalties, payments and monies which any Restricted Company receives directly from the Purchasers. Each Restricted Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs Administrative Agent to charge from time to time after the occurrence of a Default, the Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C. Production Account and any other accounts of such Restricted Company at Administrative Agent or any Lender for amounts
due to Lenders hereunder and under the Notes. 
  

 29 







 
After the occurrence of a Default, Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, in its own name or the name of any Restricted Company, to notify any or all
parties obligated to such Restricted Company with respect to the Mineral Interests to make all payments due or to become due thereon directly to Administrative Agent, or such other person or officer as Administrative Agent may require whereupon the
power and authority of Borrower to collect the same in the ordinary course of its business shall be deemed to be immediately revoked and terminated. With or without such general notification, after the occurrence of a Default, Administrative Agent
may take or bring in any Restricted Company’s name or that of Administrative Agent all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by Administrative Agent necessary or desirable to effect possession or collection of payments, may complete any
contract or agreement of such Restricted Company in any way related to any of the Mineral Interests, may make allowances or adjustments related to the Mineral Interests, may compromise any claims related to the Mineral Interests or may issue credit
in its own name or the name of such Restricted Company. Regardless of any provision hereof, however, Administrative Agent shall never be liable for its failure to collect or for its failure to exercise diligence in the collection, possession, or any
transaction concerning, all or part of the Mineral Interests or sums due or paid thereon, nor shall it or they be under any obligation whatsoever to anyone by virtue of its security interests and liens relating to the Mortgaged Properties.

  
 Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and empowered on
behalf of such Restricted Company to endorse the name of any Restricted Company upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction or other document or items, including, but not limited to, all items evidencing payment upon any indebtedness of
any Person to such Restricted Company coming into Administrative Agent’s possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof. Administrative Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney,
which is coupled with an interest, to execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions or other documents, agreements or items on behalf of any Restricted Company, either before or after demand of payment on the Notes, as shall be
deemed by Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent, to protect its security interests and liens in the Mineral Interests or the repayment of the Obligation, and Administrative Agent shall not
incur any liability in connection with or arising from its exercise of such power of attorney. 
  
 Borrower acknowledges that all funds so transferred into the Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C. Production Account shall be the property of the Restricted Companies only and not subject to any claim by any party other
than Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders. 
  
 Section 5.4 Further Assurances. Borrower covenants and agrees that the Lender Liens otherwise described in Section 5.2 and, when required, Section 2.3(g) and Section 5.3 must be created and perfected as a condition to
funding any Borrowings or the issuance of any LC. Furthermore, Borrower shall — and shall cause each other appropriate Company to — perform the acts, duly authorize, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, and record any additional writings,
and pay all filings fees and costs as Administrative Agent or Determining Lenders may reasonably deem appropriate or necessary to perfect and maintain the Lender Liens and preserve and protect the Rights of Administrative Agent and Lenders under any
Loan Document. 
  

 30 







 Section 5.5 Release of Collateral. 
  
 (a) Whenever no Lender has any commitment to extend credit under any Loan Document and the Obligation has been fully paid
and performed, Administrative Agent shall, upon Borrower’s written request and at Borrower’s cost and expense, cause the Lender Liens on all Collateral to be released. 
  
 (b) In connection with any sale or other disposition of assets permitted by Section 9.10, Administrative Agent shall,
upon Borrower’s request and at Borrower’s cost and expense, release the Lender Liens on the assets sold or disposed of. 
  
 Section 5.6 Second Lien Note Collateral. Borrower agrees that it will not, and will not permit any Restricted Company to, grant a Lien on any
Property to secure the Second Lien Notes without first (a) giving fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent thereof and (b) granting to Administrative Agent to secure the Obligation a first-priority,
perfected Lien on this same Property pursuant to Collateral Documents in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent. In connection therewith, Borrower shall, or shall cause the Restricted Companies to, execute and deliver such other
additional closing documents, certificates and legal opinions as shall reasonably be requested by Administrative Agent. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

  
 No Lender is obligated to fund the initial Borrowing or
issue any LC on or after the Closing Date unless Administrative Agent has received all of the items described in Part A on Schedule 6. In addition, no Lender is obligated to fund (as opposed to continue or convert) any Borrowing or issue any
LC unless on the applicable Borrowing Date, or issue date (and after giving effect to the requested Borrowing or LC), as the case may be: (a) Administrative Agent (and the Issuing Lender, if applicable) timely receives a Borrowing Request or LC
Request (together with the applicable LC Agreement), as the case may be, (b) the Issuing Lender receives any applicable LC fee then due and payable, (c) all of the representations and warranties of the Companies in the Loan Documents are
true and correct in all material respects (unless they speak to a specific date or are based on facts which have changed by transactions contemplated or expressly permitted by this agreement), (d) no Material Adverse Event, Default, or
Potential Default exists, (e) no Borrowing-Base Deficiency will exist after giving effect to the Borrowing or LC issuance, (f) Administrative Agent is satisfied that all Property constituting security for the Second Lien Term Loan
Agreement is subject to a Lender Lien in favor of Administrative Agent under the Collateral Documents and (g) no limitation in Section 2.1 or Section 2.3 is exceeded. Each Borrowing Request and LC Request, however delivered,
constitutes Borrower’s representation and warranty that the conditions in clauses (c) through (f) above are satisfied. Upon Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s reasonable request, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative
Agent or such Lender evidence substantiating any of the matters in the Loan Documents that are necessary to enable Borrower to qualify for the Borrowing or LC, as the case may be. Each condition precedent in this agreement (including, without
limitation, those on Schedule 6) is material to the transactions contemplated by this agreement, and time is of the essence with respect to each condition precedent.

 Section 7.13 Properties; Liens. Each Restricted Company has indefeasible title to the Mortgaged
Properties and all of its other property reflected on the Current Financials as being owned by it except for property that is obsolete or that has been disposed of in the ordinary course of business between the date of the Current Financials and the
date of this agreement or, after the date of this agreement, as permitted by Section 9.10 or Section 9.11. No Lien exists on any property (including, without limitation, the Mortgaged Properties) of any Company (provided that applicable
Permitted Liens may exist, however, no intention to subordinate the first priority Lien granted in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders is to be hereby implied or expressed by the permitted existence of such Permitted Liens). No
Restricted Company is party or subject to any agreement, instrument, or order which in any way restricts any Restricted Company’s ability to allow Liens to exist upon any of its assets except relating to Permitted Liens (provided that no
intention to subordinate the first priority Lien granted in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders is to be hereby implied or expressed by the permitted existence of such Permitted Liens). The provisions of each Collateral Document
are effective to create in favor of Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable Lender Lien in all right, title and interest of the Restricted Companies in the Collateral described therein, which Lender
Liens shall constitute fully perfected first-priority Liens on all right, title and interest of the Restricted Companies in the Collateral described therein (provided that applicable Permitted Liens may exist, however, no intention to subordinate
the first priority Lien granted in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders is to be hereby implied or expressed by the permitted existence of such Permitted Liens). No orders of, proceedings pending before, or other requirements of,
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or any other Tribunal exist which could result in the Restricted Companies being required to refund any material portion of the proceeds received or to be received from the sale of hydrocarbons constituting
part of the Mortgaged Properties. No Restricted Company (a) is obligated in any material respect by virtue of any prepayment made under any contract containing a “take-or-pay” or “prepayment” provision or under any similar
agreement to deliver hydrocarbons produced from or allocated to any of the Mortgaged Properties at some future date without receiving full payment therefor at the time of delivery and (b) has produced gas, in any material amount, subject to,
and is, nor is any of the Mortgaged Properties, subject to balancing rights of third parties or subject to balancing duties under governmental requirements, except as to such matters for which such Restricted Company has established monetary
reserves adequate in an amount to satisfy such obligations and has segregated such reserves from other accounts. 
  
 Section 7.14 Government Regulations. No Restricted Company is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended. 
  
 Section 7.15 Transactions with Affiliates. Except for transactions with other Restricted Companies and as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 7.15, no Restricted Company is a party to a material transaction with any of its
Affiliates except transactions in the ordinary course of business and upon fair and reasonable terms not materially less favorable than it could obtain or could become entitled to in an arm’s-length transaction with a Person that was not its
Affiliate. 
  

 35 







 Section 7.16 Debt. No Restricted Company has any Debt except Permitted Debt. 
  
 Section 7.17 Leases. Except where not a Material Adverse Event
(a) each Restricted Company enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession of all leases necessary for the operation of its properties and assets, none of which contains any unusual or burdensome provisions which might materially affect or impair
the operation of those properties and assets and (b) all material leases under which any Restricted Company is a lessee are in full force and effect, and no default — or event that, with notice, time lapse, or both, would become a default
— exists. The leases which underlie or constitute part of the Mineral Interests (the “Leases”) are in full force and effect, and no Restricted Company nor any other person has defaulted on any of its obligations thereunder so
as to impair the value of such Leases. 
  
 Section 7.18 Labor
Matters. Except where not a Material Adverse Event (a) no actual or threatened strikes, labor disputes, slow downs, walkouts, work stoppages, or other concerted interruptions of operations that involve any employees employed at any time in
connection with the business activities or operations at the Real Property exist, (b) hours worked by and payment made to the employees of any Restricted Company or any Predecessor have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or
any other applicable Laws pertaining to labor matters, (c) all payments due from any Restricted Company for employee health and welfare insurance, including, without limitation, workers compensation insurance, have been paid or accrued as a
liability on its books and (d) the business activities and operations of each Company are in compliance with OSHA and other applicable health and safety Laws. 
  
 Section 7.19 Intellectual Property. Except where not a Material Adverse Event (a) each Restricted Company owns
or has the right to use all material licenses, patents, patent applications, copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trademark applications and trade names necessary to continue to conduct its businesses as presently conducted by it and proposed to
be conducted by it immediately after the date of this agreement, (b) each Restricted Company is conducting its business without infringement or claim of infringement of any license, patent, copyright, service mark, trademark, trade name, trade
secret or other intellectual property right of others and (c) no infringement or claim of infringement by others of any material license, patent, copyright, service mark, trademark, trade name, trade secret or other intellectual property of any
Restricted Company exists. 
  
 Section 7.20 Full
Disclosure. Each material fact or condition relating to the Loan Documents or any Restricted Company’s financial condition, business, or property has been disclosed in writing to Administrative Agent. All information previously furnished to
Administrative Agent by or at the direction of a Responsible Officer or the General Counsel of or the attorneys for Borrower in connection with the Loan Documents was — and all information furnished to Administrative Agent in the future by or
at the direction of a Responsible Officer or the General Counsel of or the attorneys for Borrower will be — true and accurate in all material respects or based on reasonable estimates on the date the information is stated or certified.

  
 Section 7.21 Estimated Oil and Gas Reserves. Borrower
has heretofore delivered to Administrative Agent copies of all requested reports (prepared by independent consulting engineers), which have been obtained by the Restricted Companies and concern the estimated oil and gas reserves and future net
revenues attributable to the Mineral Interests. The statements of 
  

 36 







 
fact contained in said reports with respect to the character and ownership of the Mineral Interests (including, without limitation, the revenue interest and
working interest of the Restricted Companies stated therein) and the other factual data furnished by the Restricted Companies as a basis for the estimates set forth therein are true and correct and do not omit any material fact necessary to make
said statements not misleading. 
  
 Section 7.22 Working
Interest. The Restricted Companies own a “working interest” in each of the Mortgaged Properties which is not greater than the interest specified in the description of such property in the Collateral Documents, with the term
“working interest”, as used herein, meaning the right to explore for, drill and produce oil, gas or other minerals, whether such right is created by lease or otherwise, and being equivalent to the proportionate part of the cost of
exploration, development and marketing of oil, gas and other minerals borne by the Restricted Companies with respect to each respective property. 
  
 Section 7.23 Net Revenue Interest. The Restricted Companies own a “net revenue interest” in each of the Mortgaged Properties which is not

are not permitted by Section 9.4 raised by such information, (ii) substitute acceptable Mortgaged Properties with no material title defects or exceptions except for Permitted Liens having an equivalent value or (iii) deliver title
information in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent so that Administrative Agent shall be satisfied with the status of title to at least 80% of the value of the proved Mineral Interests evaluated by such Reserve Report. 

 
 (c) If Borrower is unable to cure any material title defect requested by
Administrative Agent or Lenders to be cured within the 60-day period or Borrower does not comply with the requirements to provide acceptable title information to the Mineral Interests evaluated in the most recent Reserve Report, such default shall

send a notice 

  

 44 







 
to Borrower and Lenders that the then outstanding Borrowing Base shall be reduced by an amount as determined by the Determining Lenders to cause Borrower to

value of the proved Mineral Interests evaluated in the most recently completed Reserve Report after giving effect to exploration and production activities, acquisitions, dispositions and production. In the event that the Mineral Interests do not
represent at least 80% of such total value, then Borrower shall, and shall cause the Restricted Companies to, grant, within thirty (30) days of delivery of the certificate required under Section 8.1(c)(iii), to Administrative Agent as
security for the Obligation a Lender Lien on additional Mineral Interests not already subject to a Lien of the Collateral Documents such that after giving effect thereto, the Mortgaged Properties will represent at least 80% of such total value. All
such Liens will be created and perfected by and in accordance with the provisions of deeds of trust, security agreements and financing statements or other Collateral Documents, all in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and in
sufficient executed (and acknowledged where necessary or appropriate) counterparts for recording purposes.

Second Lien Notes unless Borrower complies with Section 5.6 or (D) such action adds any covenants or defaults without this agreement being contemporaneously amended to add substantially similar covenants or defaults, provided that the
foregoing shall not prohibit the execution of supplemental agreements to add guarantors if required by the terms thereof provided that any such guarantor also guarantees the Obligation pursuant to a written guaranty in form and substance

Borrowing Base shall be reduced, effective immediately upon such sale or disposition, by an amount equal to the value, if any, assigned such Property as determined by Determining Lenders and (iv) if any such sale or other disposition is of a
Subsidiary owning Mineral Interests, such sale or other disposition shall include all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary and (f) dispositions of other assets not regulated by Section 9.10(a) through (e) for an aggregate
consideration not to exceed, in any fiscal year, $2,500,000.00, provided, however, that if any Borrowing Base Deficiency exists at the time of such disposition, 100% of the proceeds therefrom shall be applied to reduce the Principal

materially incorrect when made. 
  
 Section 11.7 Change of
Control. Any Change of Control occurs.

 ARTICLE XII 
 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES 
  
 Section 12.1 Remedies Upon Default. 
  
 (a) Debtor Relief. If a Default exists under Section 11.3, the commitment to extend credit under this agreement automatically terminates, the
entire unpaid balance of the Obligation automatically becomes due and payable without any action of any kind whatsoever. 
  
 (b) Other Defaults. If any Default exists, subject to the terms of Section 13.5(b), Administrative Agent may (with the consent of, and must,
upon the request of, Determining Lenders), do any one or more of the following: (i) If the maturity of the Obligation has not already been accelerated under Section 12.1(a), declare the entire unpaid balance of all or any part of the
Obligation immediately due and payable, whereupon it is due and payable, (ii) terminate the commitments of Lenders to extend credit under this agreement, (iii) reduce any claim to judgment, (iv) demand payment of an amount equal to
the LC Exposure then existing and retain as collateral for the LC Exposure any amounts received from any Company, from any property of any Company, through offset, or otherwise and (v) exercise any and all other legal or equitable Rights
afforded by the Loan Documents, by applicable Laws, or in equity. 
  
 (c) Offset. If a Default exists, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Lender may exercise the Rights of offset and banker’s lien against each and every account and other property, or any interest therein, which any
Restricted Company may now or hereafter have with, or which is now or hereafter in the possession of, that Lender to the extent of the full amount of the Obligation owed to that Lender. 
  
 (d) Production Proceeds. Notify any and all purchasers of production and take all other actions specified in
Section 5.3 of this agreement. 
  
 Section 12.2
Company Waivers. To the extent permitted by Law, Borrower and (pursuant to its Guaranty) each other Restricted Company waives presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, and notice
of protest and nonpayment, and agrees that its liability with respect to all or any part of the Obligation is not affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment of all or any part of the Obligation, by any indulgence, or by any release
or change in any security for the payment of all or any part of the Obligation. 
  
 Section 12.3 Performance by Administrative Agent. If any Company’s covenant, duty, or agreement is not performed in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent may, while a
Default exists, at its option (but subject to the approval of Determining Lenders), perform or attempt to perform that covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of that Company (and any amount expended by Administrative Agent in its performance or
attempted performance is payable by the Companies, jointly and severally, to Administrative 
  

 52 







 Agent on demand, becomes part of the Obligation, and bears interest at the Default Rate from the date of Administrative
Agent’s expenditure until paid). However, Administrative Agent does not assume and shall never have, except by its express written consent, any liability or responsibility for the performance of any Company’s covenants, duties, or
agreements. 
  
 Section 12.4 Not in Control. Nothing
in any Loan Documents gives or may be deemed to give to Administrative Agent or any Lender the Right to exercise control over any Company’s Real Property (including, without limitation, the Leases and the Mineral Interests), other assets,
affairs, or management or to preclude or interfere with any Company’s compliance with any Law or require any act or omission by any Company that may be harmful to Persons or property. Any “Material Adverse Event” or other
materiality or substantiality qualifier of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or other provision of any Loan Document is included for credit documentation purposes only and does not imply or be deemed to mean that Administrative
Agent or any Lender acquiesces in any non-compliance by any Company with any Law, document, or otherwise or does not expect the Companies to promptly, diligently, and continuously carry out all appropriate removal, remediation, compliance, closure,
or other activities required or appropriate in accordance with all Environmental Laws. Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ power is limited to the Rights provided in the Loan Documents. All of those Rights exist solely — and may be
exercised in manner calculated by Administrative Agent or Lenders in their respective good faith business judgment — to preserve and protect the Collateral and to assure payment and performance of the Obligation. 
  
 Section 12.5 Course of Dealing. The acceptance by Administrative
Agent or Lenders of any partial payment on the Obligation is not a waiver of any Default then existing. No waiver by Administrative Agent, Determining Lenders, or Lenders of any Default is a waiver of any other then-existing or subsequent Default.
No delay or omission by Administrative Agent, Determining Lenders, or Lenders in exercising any Right under the Loan Documents impairs that Right or is a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any
Right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other Right under the Loan Documents or otherwise. 
  
 Section 12.6 Cumulative Rights. All Rights available to Administrative Agent, Determining Lenders, and Lenders under the Loan Documents are
cumulative of and in addition to all other Rights granted to Administrative Agent, Determining Lenders, and Lenders at law or in equity, whether or not the Obligation are due and payable and whether or not Administrative Agent, Determining Lenders,
or Lenders have instituted any suit for collection, foreclosure, or other action in connection with the Loan Documents. 
  
 Section 12.7 Application of Proceeds. Any and all proceeds ever received by Administrative Agent or Lenders from the exercise of any Rights
pertaining to the Obligation shall be applied to the Obligation according to Article III. 
  
 Section 12.8 Certain Proceedings. Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates, instruments, registration statements, and all other
documents and papers Administrative Agent or Determining Lenders reasonably request in connection with the obtaining of any consent, approval, registration (other than securities Law registrations), qualification, permit, license, or authorization
of any Tribunal 
  

 53 







 or other Person necessary or appropriate for the effective exercise of any Rights under the Loan Documents. Because
Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent’s and Determining Lenders’ remedies at Law for failure of Borrower to comply with the provisions of this section would be inadequate and that failure would not be adequately compensable in damages,
Borrower agrees that the covenants of this section may be specifically enforced. 
  
 Section 12.9 Expenditures by Lenders. Any sums spent by Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any Right under any Loan Document is payable by the Companies to Administrative Agent within
five Business Days after demand, becomes part of the Obligation, and bears interest at the Default Rate from the date spent until the date repaid. 
  
 Section 12.10 Diminution in Value of Collateral. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any liability or responsibility whatsoever
for any diminution in or loss of value of any collateral now or in the future securing payment or performance of any of the Obligation (other than diminution in or loss of value caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct). 

 
 ARTICLE XIII 
 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS 
  
 Section 13.1 Administrative Agent. 
  
 (a) Appointment. Each Lender appoints Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent accepts appointment) as its nominee and agent, in its name and on its behalf: (i) To act as its nominee and on its
behalf in and under all Loan Documents, (ii) to arrange the means whereby its funds are to be made available to Borrower under the Loan Documents, (iii) to take any action that it properly requests under the Loan Documents (subject to the
concurrence of other Lenders as may be required under the Loan Documents), (iv) to receive all documents and items to be furnished to it under the Loan Documents, (v) to be the secured party, mortgagee, beneficiary, recipient, and similar
party in respect of any collateral for the benefit of Lenders, (vi) to promptly distribute to it all material information, requests, documents, and items received from Borrower under the Loan Documents, (vii) to promptly distribute to it
its ratable part of each payment or prepayment (whether voluntary, as proceeds of collateral upon or after foreclosure, as proceeds of insurance thereon, or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and (viii) to deliver to
the appropriate Persons requests, demands, approvals, and consents received from it. However, Administrative Agent may not be required to take any action that exposes it to personal liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable
Law. 
  
 (b) Successor. Administrative Agent may
voluntarily resign as Administrative Agent hereunder upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower and Lenders. If the initial or any successor Administrative Agent ever resigns, then Determining Lenders shall (which, if no Default or Potential
Default exists, is subject to Borrower’s approval that may not be unreasonably withheld) appoint the successor Administrative Agent from among Lenders (other than the resigning Administrative Agent). If Determining Lenders fail to appoint a
successor Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days after the resigning Administrative Agent has given notice of resignation, then the resigning Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which
must be a commercial bank having a 
  

 54 







 combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 (as shown on its most recently published statement of condition).
Upon its acceptance of appointment as successor Administrative Agent, the successor Administrative Agent succeeds to and becomes vested with all of the Rights of the prior Administrative Agent, and the prior Administrative Agent is discharged from
its duties and obligations of Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (but, when used in connection with LCs issued and outstanding before the appointment of the successor Administrative Agent, “Administrative Agent” shall continue
to refer solely to the prior Administrative Agent — but, any LCs issued or renewed after the appointment of any successor Administrative Agent shall be issued or renewed by the successor Administrative Agent), and each Lender shall execute the
documents that any Lender, the resigning Administrative Agent, or the successor Administrative Agent reasonably request to reflect the change. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, the
provisions of this section inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or not taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. 
  
 (c) Rights as Lender. Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, has the same Rights under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may
exercise those Rights as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent. The term “Lender”, unless the context otherwise indicates, includes Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent’s resignation does not impair or otherwise affect
any Rights that it has or may have in its capacity as an individual Lender. Each Lender and Borrower agree that Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary for Lenders or for Borrower but is simply acting in the capacity described in this agreement to
alleviate administrative burdens for Borrower and Lenders, that Administrative Agent has no duties or responsibilities to Lenders or Borrower except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and that Administrative Agent in its capacity as a
Lender has the same Rights as any other Lender. 
  
 (d) Other
Activities. Administrative Agent or any Lender may now or in the future be engaged in one or more loan, letter of credit, leasing, or other financing transactions with Borrower, act as trustee or depositary for Borrower, or otherwise be engaged
in other transactions with Borrower (collectively, the “other activities”) not the subject of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the Rights of Lenders specifically set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Administrative Agent nor
any Lender is responsible to account to the other Lenders for those other activities, and no Lender shall have any interest in any other Lender’s activities, any present or future guaranties by or for the account of Borrower that are not
contemplated by or included in the Loan Documents, any present or future offset exercised by Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of those other activities, any present or future property taken as security for any of those other activities,
or any property now or hereafter in Administrative Agent’s or any other Lender’s possession or control that may be or become security for the obligations of Borrower arising under the Loan Documents by reason of the general description of
indebtedness secured or of property contained in any other agreements, documents, or instruments related to any of those other activities (but, if any payments in respect of those guaranties or that property or the proceeds thereof is applied by
Administrative Agent or any Lender to reduce the Obligation, then each Lender is entitled to share ratably in the application as provided in the Loan Documents). 
  

 55 







 Section 13.2 Expenses. Each Lender shall pay its Pro Rata Part of any reasonable expenses
(including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of collection) incurred by Administrative Agent (while acting in such capacity) in connection with any of the Loan Documents if Administrative Agent is not
reimbursed from other sources within 30 days after incurrence. Each Lender is entitled to receive its Pro Rata Part of any reimbursement that it makes to Administrative Agent if Administrative Agent is subsequently reimbursed from other sources.

  
 Section 13.3 Proportionate Absorption of Losses.
Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, nothing in the Loan Documents gives any Lender any advantage over any other Lender insofar as the Obligation is concerned or relieves any Lender from ratably absorbing any losses sustained with
respect to the Obligation (except to the extent unilateral actions or inactions by any Lender result in Borrower or any other obligor on the Obligation having any credit, allowance, setoff, defense, or counterclaim solely with respect to all or any
part of that Lender’s Pro Rata Part of the Obligation). 
  
 Section 13.4 Delegation of Duties; Reliance. Lenders may perform any of their duties or exercise any of their Rights under the Loan Documents by or through Administrative Agent, and Lenders and Administrative Agent may perform
any of their duties or exercise any of their Rights under the Loan Documents by or through their respective Representatives. Administrative Agent, Lenders, and their respective Representatives (a) are entitled to rely upon (and shall be
protected in relying upon) any written or oral statement believed by it or them to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or made by the proper Person and, with respect to legal matters, upon opinion of counsel selected by Administrative
Agent or that Lender (but nothing in this clause (a) permits Administrative Agent to rely on (i) oral statements if a writing is required by this agreement or (ii) any other writing if a specific writing is required by this
agreement), (b) are entitled to deem and treat each Lender as the owner and holder of its portion of the Obligation for all purposes until, written notice of the assignment or transfer is given to and received by Administrative Agent (and any
request, authorization, consent, or approval of any Lender is conclusive and binding on each subsequent holder, assignee, or transferee of or Participant in that Lender’s portion of the Obligation until that notice is given and received),
(c) are not deemed to have notice of the occurrence of a Default unless a responsible officer of Administrative Agent, who handles matters associated with the Loan Documents and transactions thereunder, has actual knowledge or Administrative
Agent has been notified by a Lender or Borrower and (d) are entitled to consult with legal counsel (including counsel for Borrower), independent accountants, and other experts selected by Administrative Agent and are not liable for any action
taken or not taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of counsel, accountants, or experts. Each Lender acknowledges that Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. is acting in this transaction as special counsel to Administrative Agent only,
except to the extent otherwise expressly stated in any legal opinion or any Loan Document. Each other party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with the Loan Documents and the matters
contemplated therein. 
  
 Section 13.5 Limitation of
Administrative Agent’s Liability. 
  
 (a)
Exculpation. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Representatives will be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under the Loan Documents 
  

 56 







 in good faith and believed by it or them to be within the discretion or power conferred upon it or them by the Loan
Documents or be responsible for the consequences of any error of judgment (except for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct), and neither Administrative Agent nor any of its representatives has a fiduciary relationship with any Lender by
virtue of the Loan Documents (but nothing in this agreement negates the obligation of Administrative Agent to account for funds received by it for the account of any Lender). 
  
 (b) Indemnity. Unless indemnified to its satisfaction against loss, cost, liability, and expense, Administrative
Agent may not be compelled to do any act under the Loan Documents or to take any action toward the execution or enforcement of the powers thereby created or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of the Loan Documents. If Administrative Agent
requests instructions from Lenders, or Determining Lenders, as the case may be, with respect to any act or action in connection with any Loan Document, Administrative Agent is entitled to refrain (without incurring any liability to any Person by so
refraining) from that act or action unless and until it has received instructions. In no event, however, may Administrative Agent or any of its Representatives be required to take any action that it or they determine could incur for it or them
criminal or onerous civil liability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender has any right of action against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent’s acting or refraining from acting under this agreement in
accordance with instructions of Determining Lenders. 
  
 (c)
Reliance. Administrative Agent is not responsible to any Lender or any Participant for, and each Lender represents and warrants that it has not relied upon Administrative Agent in respect of, (i) the creditworthiness of any Company and
the risks involved to that Lender, (ii) the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity, or the due execution of any Loan Document (except by Administrative Agent), (iii) any representation, warranty, document, certificate,
report, or statement made therein (except by Administrative Agent) or furnished thereunder or in connection therewith, (iv) the adequacy of any collateral now or hereafter securing the Obligation or the existence, priority, or perfection of any
Lien now or hereafter granted or purported to be granted on the collateral under any Loan Document or (v) observation of or compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Company. EACH LENDER
AGREES TO INDEMNIFY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES AND HOLD THEM HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST (BUT LIMITED TO SUCH LENDER’S COMMITMENT PERCENTAGE OF) ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS,
JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, REASONABLE EXPENSES, AND REASONABLE DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON, ASSERTED AGAINST, OR INCURRED BY THEM IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTION TAKEN
OR OMITTED BY THEM UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS IF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES ARE NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH AMOUNTS BY ANY COMPANY. ALTHOUGH ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT FOR ITS OR THEIR OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ITS OR THEIR OWN FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 
  

 57 







 Section 13.6 Default. While a Default exists, Lenders agree to promptly confer in order that
Determining Lenders or Lenders, as the case may be, may agree upon a course of action for the enforcement of the Rights of Lenders. Administrative Agent is entitled to act or refrain from taking any action (without incurring any liability to any
Person for so acting or refraining) unless and until it has received instructions from Determining Lenders. In actions with respect to any Company’s property, Administrative Agent is acting for the ratable benefit of each Lender. 
  
 Section 13.7 Collateral Matters. 
  
 (a) Each Lender authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into
the Loan Documents for the Lender Liens and agrees that any action taken by Administrative Agent concerning any Collateral (with the consent or at the request of Determining Lenders) in accordance with any Loan Document, that Administrative
Agent’s exercise (with the consent or at the request of Determining Lenders) of powers concerning the Collateral in any Loan Document, and that all other reasonably incidental powers are authorized and binding upon all Lenders. 
  
 (b) Administrative Agent is authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the
necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time before a Default or Potential Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents related to Collateral that may be necessary to perfect and
maintain perfected the Lender Liens upon the Collateral. 
  
 (c)
Except to use the same standard of care that it ordinarily uses for collateral for its sole benefit, Administrative Agent has no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any
Company or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lender Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority. 
  
 (d) Administrative Agent shall exercise the same care and prudent judgment
with respect to the Collateral and the Loan Documents as it normally and customarily exercises in respect of similar collateral and security documents. 
  
 (e) Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lender Lien upon any Collateral (i) upon
full payment of the Obligation, (ii) constituting property being disposed of as permitted under any Loan Document, (iii) constituting property in which no Company owned any interest at the time the Lender Lien was granted or at any time
after that, (iv) constituting property leased to any Company under a lease that has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents or is about to expire and that has not been, and is not intended by that Company
to be, renewed, (v) consisting of an instrument evidencing Debt pledged to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders), if the underlying Debt has been paid in full or (vi) if approved, authorized, or ratified in writing by Lenders.
Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, Lenders shall confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral under this clause (e).

 Section 13.8 Limitation of Liability. No Lender or any Participant will incur any liability
to any other Lender or Participant except for acts or omissions in bad faith, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Participant will incur any liability to any other Person for any act or omission of any other Lender or any Participant.

  
 Section 13.9 Relationship of Lenders. The Loan
Documents do not create a partnership or joint venture among Administrative Agent and Lenders or among Lenders. 
  
 Section 13.10 Benefits of Agreement. None of the provisions of this section inure to the benefit of any Company or any other Person except
Administrative Agent and Lenders. Therefore, no Company or any other Person is responsible or liable for, entitled to rely upon, or entitled to raise as a defense — in any manner whatsoever — the failure of Administrative Agent or any
Lender to comply with these provisions. 
  
 Section 13.11
Arranger and other Agents. None of Arranger, any syndication agent or any documentation agent hereunder shall have any duties, responsibilities or liabilities under this agreement or the other Loan Documents other than, if applicable, their
duties, responsibilities and liabilities in their capacity as Lenders hereunder. 
  
 ARTICLE XIV 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 Section 14.1 Nonbusiness Days. Any payment or action that is due under any Loan Document on a non-Business Day
may be delayed until the next-succeeding Business Day (but interest shall continue to accrue on any applicable payment until payment is in fact made) unless the payment concerns a LIBOR-Rate Borrowing, in which case if the next-succeeding Business
Day is in the next calendar month, then such payment shall be made on the next-preceding Business Day. 
  
 Section 14.2 Communications. Unless otherwise specifically provided, whenever any Loan Document requires or permits any consent, approval,
notice, request, or demand from one party to another, communication must be in writing (which may be by telex or fax) to be effective and shall be deemed to have been given (a) if by telex, when transmitted to the appropriate telex number and
the appropriate answer back is received, (b) if by fax, when transmitted to the appropriate fax number (and all communications sent by fax must be confirmed promptly thereafter by telephone; but any requirement in this parenthetical shall not
affect the date when the fax shall be deemed to have been delivered), (c) if by mail, on the third Business Day after it is enclosed in an envelope and properly addressed, stamped, sealed, and deposited in the appropriate official postal
service or (d) if by any other means, when actually delivered. Until changed by notice pursuant to this agreement, the address (and fax number) for Borrower and Administrative Agent is stated beside their respective signatures to this agreement
and for each Lender as set forth in its administrative questionnaire (in a form supplied by Administrative Agent). 
  
 Section 14.3 Form and Number of Documents. The form, substance, and number of counterparts of each writing to be furnished under this
agreement must be satisfactory to Administrative Agent and its counsel. 
  

 59 







 Section 14.4 Exceptions to Covenants. No Company may take or fail to take any action that is
permitted as an exception to any of the covenants contained in any Loan Document if that action or omission would result in the breach of any other covenant contained in any Loan Document. 
  
 Section 14.5 Survival. All covenants, agreements, undertakings,
representations, and warranties made in any of the Loan Documents survive all closings under the Loan Documents and, except as otherwise indicated, are not affected by any investigation made by any party. 
  
 Section 14.6 Governing Law. Unless otherwise stated in any Loan
Document, the laws of the State of Texas and of the United States of America govern the Rights and duties of the parties to the Loan Documents and the validity, construction, enforcement, and interpretation of the Loan Documents. 
  
 Section 14.7 Invalid Provisions. Any provision in any Loan
Document held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable is fully severable; the appropriate Loan Document shall be construed and enforced as if that provision had never been included; and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect
and shall not be affected by the severed provision. Administrative Agent, Lenders, and each Company party to the affected Loan Document agree to negotiate, in good faith, the terms of a replacement provision as similar to the severed provision as
may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable. 
  
 Section 14.8 Amendments, Consents, Conflicts, and Waivers. 
  
 (a) Determining Lenders. Unless otherwise specifically provided (i) the provisions of this agreement may be amended, modified, or waived, only by an instrument in writing executed by Borrower,
Administrative Agent, and Determining Lenders and supplemented only by documents delivered or to be delivered in accordance with the express terms of this agreement and (ii) the other Loan Documents may only be the subject of an amendment,
modification, or waiver that has been approved by Determining Lenders and Borrower. 
  
 (b) All Lenders. Any amendment to or consent or waiver under this agreement or any Loan Document that purports to accomplish any of the following must be by an instrument in writing executed by Borrower and
Administrative Agent and executed (or approved, as the case may be) by each Lender: (i) Extends the due date or decreases the amount of any scheduled payment or amortization of the Obligation beyond the date specified in the Loan Documents,
(ii) decreases any rate or amount of interest, fees, or other sums payable to Administrative Agent or Lenders under this agreement (except such reductions as are contemplated by this agreement), (iii) changes the definition of
“Commitment,” “Commitment Percentage,” “Determining Lenders,” “Pro Rata Part” or the definition of “Borrowing Base”, (iv) increases any one or more Lender’s Commitment, (v) waives
compliance with, amends, or fully or partially releases — except as expressly provided by the Loan Documents or when a Company merges into another Person or dissolves when specifically permitted in the Loan Documents — any Guaranty or
Collateral or waives or amends Article V, Section 8.11 or Section 8.19, (vi) changes the requirement that any increase of the Borrowing Base be approved and consented to by all of the Lenders or (vii) changes this clause
(b) or any other matter specifically requiring the consent of all Lenders under this agreement. 
  

 60 







 (c) Agency Fees. Any amendment or consent or waiver with respect to fees payable solely to
Administrative Agent under a separate letter agreement must be executed in writing only by Administrative Agent and Borrower. 
  
 (d) Conflicts. Any conflict or ambiguity between the terms and provisions of this agreement and terms and provisions in any other Loan Document is
controlled by the terms and provisions of this agreement. 
  
 (e)
Waivers. No course of dealing or any failure or delay by Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Representatives with respect to exercising any Right of Administrative Agent or any Lender under this agreement operates as
a waiver thereof. A waiver must be in writing and signed by Administrative Agent and Lenders (or Determining Lenders, if permitted under this agreement) to be effective, and a waiver will be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which it is given. 
  
 Section 14.9
Multiple Counterparts. Any Loan Document may be executed in a number of identical counterparts with the same effect as if all signatories had signed the same document. All counterparts must be construed together to constitute one and the same
instrument. 
  
 Section 14.10 Parties. 
  
 (a) Parties Bound. Each Loan Document binds and inures to the parties
to it, any intended beneficiary of it, and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Company may assign or transfer any Rights or obligations under any Loan Document without first obtaining all Lenders’ consent, and any
purported assignment or transfer without Lenders’ consent is void. No Lender may transfer, pledge, assign, sell any participation in, or otherwise encumber its portion of the Obligation except as permitted by clauses (b) or (c) below.

  
 (b) Participations. Any Lender may (subject to the
provisions of this section, in accordance with applicable Law, in the ordinary course of its business, and at any time) sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its portion of the Obligation. The
selling Lender remains a “Lender” under the Loan Documents, the Participant does not become a “Lender” under the Loan Documents, and the selling Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents remain unchanged. The selling
Lender remains solely responsible for the performance of its obligations and remains the holder of its share of the Principal Debt for all purposes under the Loan Documents. Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and
directly with the selling Lender in connection with that Lender’s Rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, and each Lender must retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce due obligations of the Companies. Participants have no
Rights under the Loan Documents except as provided below. Subject to the following, each Lender may obtain (on behalf of its Participants) the benefits of Article III with respect to all participations in its part of the Obligation outstanding from
time to time so long as Borrower is not obligated to pay any amount in excess of the amount that would be due to that Lender under Article III 
  

 61 







 calculated as though no participations have been made. No Lender may sell any participating interest under which the
Participant has any Rights to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any Loan Document except as to matters in Section 14.8(b)(i) and (ii). 
  
 (c) Assignments. Each Lender may make assignments to the Federal Reserve Bank. Each Lender may also assign to one or more assignees (each an
“Assignee”) all or any part of its Rights and obligations under the Loan Documents so long as (i) the assignor Lender and Assignee execute and deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower for their consent and acceptance (that
may not be unreasonably withheld in any instance and is not required if the Assignee is an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, and the consent of Borrower is also not required at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default
or Potential Default) an assignment and assumption agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit F (an “Assignment”) and pay to Administrative Agent a processing fee of $3,500, (ii) the assignment must be for a minimum
total Commitment of $5,000,000 and the assigning Lender (if not assigning its entire Commitment) must retain a minimum total Commitment of $5,000,000 and (iii) the conditions for that assignment set forth in the applicable Assignment are
satisfied. The Effective Date in each Assignment must (unless a shorter period is agreeable to Borrower and Administrative Agent) be at least five Business Days after it is executed and delivered by the assignor Lender and the Assignee to
Administrative Agent and Borrower for acceptance. Once that Assignment is accepted by Administrative Agent and Borrower, and subject to all of the following occurring, then, on and after the Effective Date stated in it (i) the Assignee
automatically becomes a party to this agreement and, to the extent provided in that Assignment, has the Rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, (ii) the assignor Lender, to the extent provided in that Assignment, is
released from its obligations to fund Borrowings under this agreement and its reimbursement obligations under this agreement and, in the case of an Assignment covering all of the remaining portion of the assignor Lender’s Rights and obligations
under the Loan Documents, that Lender ceases to be a party to the Loan Documents, (iii) Borrower shall execute and deliver to the assignor Lender and the Assignee the appropriate Notes in accordance with this agreement following the transfer,
(iv) upon delivery of the Notes under clause (iii) preceding, the assignor Lender shall return to Borrower all Notes previously delivered to that Lender under this agreement and (v) Schedule 2 is automatically deemed to be
amended to reflect the name, address, telecopy number, and Commitment of the Assignee and the remaining Commitment (if any) of the assignor Lender, and Administrative Agent shall prepare and circulate to Borrower and Lenders an amended Schedule
2 reflecting those changes. 
  
 Section 14.11 VENUE,
SERVICE OF PROCESS, AND JURY TRIAL. BORROWER AND (PURSUANT TO ITS GUARANTY) EACH RESTRICTED COMPANY, IN EACH CASE FOR ITSELF AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, IRREVOCABLY (a) SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL
COURTS IN TEXAS, (b) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOT OR IN THE FUTURE HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT AND THE OBLIGATION BROUGHT
IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, OR IN THE UNITED STATES COURTS LOCATED IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS, (c) WAIVES ANY CLAIMS THAT ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE FOREGOING COURTS HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM,
(d) CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY 
  

 62 







 OF THOSE COURTS IN ANY LITIGATION BY THE MAILING OF COPIES OF THAT PROCESS BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED,
POSTAGE PREPAID, BY HAND DELIVERY, OR BY DELIVERY BY A NATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED COURIER SERVICE, AND SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE UPON DELIVERY OF THE LEGAL PROCESS AT ITS ADDRESS FOR PURPOSES OF THIS AGREEMENT, (e) AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY PARTY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE OBLIGATION MAY BE BROUGHT IN ONE OF THE FOREGOING COURTS AND (f) WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ITS RESPECTIVE
RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUR OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT. THE SCOPE OF EACH OF THE FOREGOING WAIVERS IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT
RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. BORROWER AND (PURSUANT TO ITS GUARANTY) EACH OTHER RESTRICTED
COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THESE WAIVERS ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S AND EACH LENDER’S AGREEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THESE WAIVERS IN
ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON EACH OF THESE WAIVERS IN RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. BORROWER AND (PURSUANT TO ITS GUARANTY) EACH OTHER RESTRICTED COMPANY FURTHER WARRANTS AND
REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THESE WAIVERS WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AGREES TO EACH WAIVER FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THE WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION ARE IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT THEY MAY NOT BE
MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THESE WAIVERS APPLY TO ANY FUTURE RENEWALS, EXTENSIONS, AMENDMENTS, MODIFICATIONS, OR REPLACEMENTS IN RESPECT OF THE APPLICABLE LOAN DOCUMENT. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED
AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 
  
 Section 14.12 ENTIRETY. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN BORROWER, LENDERS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE
PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. 
  
 Section 14.13 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the
“Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Borrower in
accordance with the Act.

 LITIGATION 
  

	1.	Gulf Coast Vacuum Services Superfund Site. 

  
 This is an action by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seeking to recover from potentially responsible parties the costs required to clean up
“hazardous substances” at an oil field waste disposal site in the State of Louisiana. Total cleanup costs have been estimated to be $15.4 million using a bioremediation method and $38 million if an incineration method is used. Pursuant to
a consent decree, the Company has agreed to pay 3.09% of the costs expended up to $16.4 million, 1.94% of the costs expended from $16.4 million to $23 million, and 1.37% of the costs expended in excess of $23 million. The Company continues to pay
its share of such costs as assessments are issued. 
  

	2.	Ena Thibodeaux Broussard et al. vs. LLOG Exploration Co., No. 69189, Fifteenth Judicial District Court, Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. 

  
 This action was commenced by Broussard et al. against LLOG Exploration. The
plaintiffs claim to be owners of unleased interests in the Siph 3 RA SU A Unit in the Tigre Lagoon Field, Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. The plaintiffs claim that they have received no payment for their share of production from the unit well and that
they have not been provided with any drilling or completion cost data. The plaintiffs sued LLOG as the current operator of the unit. In response, LLOG filed a third party demand against Goodrich Petroleum Company of Louisiana and against Unit
Petroleum Company, claiming that Goodrich’s predecessor, American National Petroleum Company, and Unit Petroleum were prior operators of the well in question, and that, if LLOG has any liability to the plaintiffs, Goodrich and Unit Petroleum
are liable to LLOG. There has been no activity on this case since November, 1997. Given the inactivity on this case, we have not evaluated this matter from the standpoint of liability or the potential exposure for damages. In the event this case is
re-activated, management will defend it vigorously. 
  

	3.	Richard Golden King vs. The Board of Commissioners of the Orleans Levee District et al., No. 37-085, 25th Judicial District Court, Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.


  
 The plaintiff, King, filed suit against the
Orleans Levee District, Patrick Petroleum Corporation of Michigan (a predecessor of Goodrich), Chevron Oil Company and Bass Oil Company, claiming to be the owner of royalty interests underlying the Bohemia Spillway in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.
King contends that, between the period from January 1, 1985 through February and April, 1992, royalties were paid to the Orleans Levee District that should have been paid to him, and the petition seeks recovery of those royalties. The suit was
originally filed in February, 1993, but King did not serve any of the defendants until February and March, 1998. Goodrich filed an exception of prematurity, contending that it was entitled to notice of the claim prior to the commencement of the
lawsuit. This case has been dormant since July, 1998. Management intends to defend this action vigorously.

	4.	Alonzo Fuller, Sr. et al. vs. Exxon Corporation et al., No. 99-0774-RV-S, United States District Court, Southern District of Alabama, Southern Division.


  
 This action was filed on August 19, 1999,
in state court in Clarke County, Alabama and then removed to federal court, as indicated in the caption above. The plaintiffs in this action purport to represent the heirs and assigns of the lessors under a 1949 mineral lease to Humble Oil and
Refining Company. The plaintiffs seek to establish a class action on behalf of themselves and the other owners of mineral interests under the lease. The plaintiffs claim that the lease covers 46.5 acres of land, but that the various defendants have
paid royalties to the lessors as though the lease covers only 15.5 acres. The defendants are purportedly the parties who operated various wells affecting the lease. The plaintiffs’ claims are quite old and it is anticipated that the statute of
limitations has run. The case is currently in the discovery stage, and management intends to defend this action vigorously. 
  

	5.	LeJeune Brothers, L.L.C. vs. Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C. et al., No. 101228, 16th Judicial District Court, Iberia Parish, Louisiana. 

  
 This suit was filed against Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C., as the
successor of Hawthorn Oil & Gas Corp., and other defendants who allegedly participated in oil and gas activities on the plaintiff’s property over a period of time spanning twenty-eight years. The plaintiff alleges that the activities
of the defendants damaged its property and caused other related injuries. The plaintiff seeks an undisclosed sum in ordinary damages, punitive damages, the cost to assess and restore the property, and the diminution of the property’s value. The
company has filed third party demands against successor operators of the property. Discovery is getting underway in this case and management intends to defend it vigorously. 
  

	6.	John L. Germany et al. vs. Texaco, Inc. et al., No. 101775, 16th Judicial District Court, Iberia Parish, Louisiana. 

  
 This suit was filed against Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C., as the
successor of Patrick Petroleum Corporation, and other defendants who allegedly participated in oil and gas activities on the plaintiff’s property over a period of time spanning sixty-five years. The plaintiff alleges that the activities of the
defendants damaged its property and caused other related injuries. The plaintiff seeks an undisclosed sum in ordinary damages, punitive damages, the cost to assess and restore the property, and the diminution of the property’s value. Discovery
has just commenced in this case and management intends to defend it vigorously. The company has been advised that it is not a primary target in this action. The company has settled this case for a nominal sum, and it should be dismissed soon.

punitive damages, the cost to assess and restore the property, and the diminution of the property’s value. Discovery has just commenced in this case and management intends to defend it vigorously. The company acquired its interest in the field
in 2003 from Summit Energy Company, one of the defendants, and believes that Summit Energy and others will be primarily responsible for any damages alleged by the plaintiff.

 Exhibit D 







 EXHIBIT E 
  
 ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of
                    , between
                                    
(“Assignor”) and
                                    
(“Assignee”). 
  
 Goodrich Petroleum Company,
L.L.C., a Louisiana limited liability company (“Borrower”) certain lenders (“Lenders”), and BNP Paribas, a foreign banking corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of France (in its capacity as
Administrative Agent for Lenders, “Administrative Agent”), are party to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as renewed, extended, amended, or restated, the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of November 17,
2005, all of the defined terms in which have the same meanings when used — unless otherwise defined — in this agreement. This agreement is entered into as required by Section 14.10(c) of the Credit Agreement and, if required pursuant
to the terms of the Credit Agreement, is not effective until consented to by Borrower and Administrative Agent, which consents may not under the Credit Agreement be unreasonably withheld. 
  
 ACCORDINGLY, for adequate and sufficient consideration, Assignor and Assignee agree as follows: 
  
 1. Assignment and Assumption. By this agreement, and effective as of
                     (which must be at least five Business Days after the execution and delivery of this agreement to both Borrower, if
applicable, and Administrative Agent for consent, the “Effective Date”), Assignor sells and assigns to Assignee (without recourse to Assignor) and Assignee purchases and assumes from Assignor a
            % interest (the “Assigned Interest”), which, if not equal to 100%, must be a percentage, when computed as an aggregate dollar amount, that is at least
$5,000,000, in and to all of Assignor’s Rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement as of the Effective Date, including, without limitation, the Assigned Interest in (a) Assignor’s Commitment as of the Effective Date,
(b) the Note held by Assignor as of the Effective Date, (c) all Principal Debt owed to Assignor on the Effective Date, (d) all unpaid reimbursement obligations under drawings or drafts under any LC on the Effective Date, (e) all
outstanding participations owned by Assignor under Section 2.4(b) of the Credit Agreement on the Effective Date, (f) all interest accruing in respect of the Assigned Interest after the Effective Date, (g) all LC fees paid in advance
before the Effective Date under Section 4.3(a) of the Credit Agreement in respect of the Assigned Interest and in respect of any period or periods after the Effective Date, and (h) all commitment fees accruing in respect of the Assigned
Interest under Section 4.4 of the Credit Agreement after the Effective Date. 
  
 2. Assignor Provisions. Assignor (a) represents and warrants to Assignee that as of the Effective Date (i) the following principal amounts and LC liabilities are owed to it without reduction for any assignments that have
not yet become effective: 
  

				
	 Item

	  	Amount


	 Principal Debt of Revolving Facility
	  	$	 
	 LC reimbursement obligations
	  	$	 
	 § 2.3(b) participations
	  	$	 

  

 Exhibit E - 1 







 and (ii) Assignor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Assigned Interest, which is free and clear of any adverse
claim, and (b) makes no representation or warranty to Assignee and assumes no responsibility to Assignee with respect to (i) any statements, warranties, or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, or value of any Loan Document, or (iii) the financial condition of any Company or the performance or observance by any Company of any of its obligations under any Loan
Document. 
  
 3. Assignee Provisions. Assignee (a) represents and
warrants to Assignor, Borrower, and Administrative Agent that Assignee is legally authorized to enter into this agreement, (b) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, copies of the Current Financials, and such other
documents and information as it deems appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this agreement, (c) agrees with Assignor, Borrower, and Administrative Agent that Assignee shall — independently and without
reliance upon Administrative Agent, Assignor, or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as Assignee deems appropriate at the time — continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan
Documents, (d) appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents and all
other reasonably-incidental powers, (e) agrees with Assignor, Borrower, and Administrative Agent that Assignee shall perform and comply with all provisions of the Loan Documents applicable to Lenders in accordance with their respective terms,
and (f) if Assignee is not organized under the Laws of the United States of America or one of its states, it (i) represents and warrants to Assignor, Administrative Agent, and Borrower that no Taxes are required to be withheld by Assignor,
Administrative Agent, or Borrower with respect to any payments to be made to it in respect of the Obligations, and it has furnished to Administrative Agent and Borrower two duly completed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN,
W-8ECI, or any other form acceptable to Administrative Agent that entitles Assignee to exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax on all interest payments under the Loan Documents, (ii) covenants to provide Administrative Agent and Borrower a
new Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI, or other form acceptable to Administrative Agent upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form according to Law, duly executed and completed by it, and to comply from time to time with all Laws with
regard to the withholding Tax exemption, and (iii) agrees with Administrative Agent and Borrower that, if any of the foregoing is not true or the applicable forms are not provided, then Administrative Agent and Borrower (without duplication)
may deduct and withhold from interest payments under the Loan Documents any United States federal-income Tax at the full rate applicable under the Code. 
  
 4. Credit Agreement and Commitments. From and after the Effective Date (a) Assignee shall be a party to the Credit Agreement and (to the extent provided in
this agreement) have the Rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents and (b) Assignor shall (to the extent provided in this agreement) relinquish its Rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents. On the
Effective Date, after giving effect to this agreement, but without giving effect to any other assignments that have not yet become effective, Assignor’s

total Commitment will be as follows: 
  

				
	 Lender

	 Assignee

 5. Notes. Assignor and Assignee

Borrower the Note previously delivered to Assignor under the Credit Agreement. 
  
 6. Payments and Adjustments. From and after the Effective Date, Administrative Agent shall make all payments in respect of the Assigned Interest (including payments of principal, interest, fees, and other amounts) to Assignee.
Assignor and Assignee shall make all appropriate adjustments in payments for periods before the Effective Date by Administrative Agent or with respect to the making of this assignment directly between themselves.

 8. Incorporated Provisions. Although
this agreement is not a Loan Document, the provisions of Sections 1 and 14 of the Credit Agreement applicable to Loan Documents are incorporated into this instrument by reference the same as if this agreement were a Loan Document and those
provisions were set forth in this agreement verbatim. 
  
 9.
