 WHEREAS, this Agreement shall constitute an Incremental Amendment as set forth in
Section 2.07 of the Credit Agreement; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained herein and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 

Section 1. Credit Agreement Amendments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment, effective on the
Amendment No. 2 Effective Time: 
 Section 1.1. Each of the undersigned New Incremental Term Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower irrevocably agrees to amend the Credit Agreement as provided in Section 2 hereof to provide for (a) the New Term Loan Commitments and (b) the commensurate reduction of the available Incremental Term Loans. 

Section 1.2. Except as modified pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof, Loans under the Facilities shall remain outstanding and
shall be continued. 
 Section 2. Amendments. 

Section 2.1. Annex I of the Credit Agreement is amended by adding thereto the New Term Loan Commitments hereunder of the New
Incremental Term Lenders party hereto as set forth on Annex I hereto. 
 Section 2.2. Pursuant to Section 2.07(d)
of the Credit Agreement, upon the funding of the New Term Loans on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Time, the New Term Loans shall automatically and without further action by any Person constitute additional Loans (and shall have the same terms as
the existing Loans, and, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to the same Applicable Margin, Adjusted Eurodollar Rate and Alternate Base Rate (including the interest rate floors of 1.25% and 2.25%, respectively)) for all purposes of the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that the Borrower may use the proceeds of the New Term Loans for general corporate purposes (which may include paying certain transaction costs and expenses in connection with the Merger and
any related financing or other transactions, including the issuance of the New Term Loans and the Revolving Facility Agreement). 

Section 2.3. Pursuant to Section 2.07(d) of the Credit Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement, the New Term Loans made at the Amendment No. 2 Effective Time shall constitute Eurodollar Rate Loans, having an initial Interest Period that shall end on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
to the existing Loans as in effect immediately prior to the Amendment No. 2 Effective Time. 
 Section 2.4. Any remaining
outstanding amount of New Term Loans shall be repaid in full on the same Maturity Date that applies with respect to the existing Loans. 

Section 3. Incremental Term Lenders. Each New Incremental Term Lender party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will
have, immediately upon the Amendment No. 2 Effective Time and without further action by any Person, an Incremental 

  
 -3- 








 
Term Commitment in the amount set forth opposite such New Incremental Term Lender’s name on Annex I to this Amendment and agrees to severally make to the Borrower Incremental Term
Loans on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Time, in dollars, in an aggregate amount not in excess of such New Incremental Term Lender’s New Term Loan Commitment hereunder. From and after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Time, (a) each
New Incremental Term Lender party hereto shall be a Lender for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (b) the New Term Loans shall be Loans for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the New Term Loans shall be considered an increase in the Loans under the Credit Agreement and shall not be considered a separate tranche of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement. 

Section 4. Representations and Warranties, No Default. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Time: 
 Section 4.1. This Amendment is within each Loan Party’s
corporate, limited liability company or partnership powers, as applicable, and has been duly authorized by all necessary organizational and, if required, action by any holder of its Equity Interests. This Amendment and the Loan Documents, as amended
by this Amendment, have been duly executed and delivered by the Loan Parties and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each such Loan Party party thereto, in each case, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights or enforceability thereof generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
This Amendment and the Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment, do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority or any other third Person (including holders of its
Equity Interests or any class of directors, managers or supervisors, as applicable, whether interests or disinterested, of the Borrower or any other Person), nor is any such consent, approval, registration, filing or other action necessary for the
validity or enforceability of this Amendment or any Loan Document, as amended by this Amendment or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect. 

Section 4.2. The execution, delivery and performance by any Loan Party of this Amendment and the performance by any Loan Party of
any Loan Document, as amended by this Amendment, to which such Loan Party is a party, and any such Loan Party’s compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, (a) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the
charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Property of any of them, (b) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the
Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or its Properties, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary and (c) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any
Property of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Liens created by the Loan Documents). 
 Section 4.3. The
representations and warranties set forth in the Revolving Facility Agreement and in the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Revolving

material respects as of such earlier date.

 EXHBIT 1 

[FORM OF] SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE 

[    ], 2014 

I, the undersigned, the [title of Responsible Officer] of the Borrower (as defined below), DO HEREBY CERTIFY on behalf of the Borrower that:

 1. This Certificate is furnished pursuant to Section 5(j) of Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement dated as of
December 16, 2014 (as in effect on the date of this Certificate, the “2nd Term Amendment”), among Sabine Oil & Gas LLC, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Incremental Term Lenders party
thereto from time to time and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent which amends that certain Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2012 (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement, dated
as of January 23, 2013 and as may be further amended, supplemented, amended and restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Terms defined in the 2nd Term Amendment and Credit Agreement are used
herein with the same meanings. 
 2. Immediately after giving effect to the Transactions, (a) the fair value of assets (for the
avoidance of doubt, calculated to include goodwill and other intangibles) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable
liabilities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date. 

3. The Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it or any of its Subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such
debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by it or any Subsidiary, and the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any such Subsidiary.
