 ARTICLE II 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

Section 2.1 Shelf Registration. 

(a) Shelf Registration. Contango shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file an initial Shelf Registration
Statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities at such time of filing within 30 days of the conversion of the Preferred Stock. Contango shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such initial Shelf Registration
Statement to become effective no later than 120 days from its initial filing. Contango will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such initial Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) to
be continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earliest of (i) all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been distributed in the manner set forth and as contemplated in such Shelf Registration
Statement, (ii) there are no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding and (iii) three years from the Effective Date (the “Effectiveness Period”). A Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this
Section 2.l(a) shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission as shall be selected by Contango. A Shelf Registration Statement when declared effective (including the documents incorporated therein by
reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus contained in such Shelf Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made). As soon as practicable following
the date that a Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, but in any event within five Business Days of such date, Contango shall provide the Holders with written notice of the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement. 

  
 3 

 (b) Resale Registration Opt-Out. At least
three Business Days before the initial filing of the Shelf Registration Statement required by Section 2.1(a), Contango shall provide advance written notice to each Holder that it plans to file a Shelf Registration
Statement. Any Holder may deliver advance written notice (a “Resale Opt-Out Notice”) to Contango requesting that such Holder not be included in a Shelf Registration Statement prior to its
initial filing. Following receipt of a Resale Opt-Out Notice from a Holder, Contango shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of such Holder in such Shelf Registration Statement. 

(c) Delay Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Contango may, upon written notice to any Selling Holder
whose Registrable Securities are included in the Shelf Registration Statement, suspend such Selling Holder’s use of any prospectus which is a part of the Shelf Registration Statement (in which event the Selling Holder shall discontinue sales of
the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement) if (i) Contango is pursuing an acquisition, merger, reorganization, disposition or other similar transaction and Contango determines in good faith that Contango’s
ability to pursue or consummate such a transaction would be materially and adversely affected by any required disclosure of such transaction in the Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) Contango has experienced some other material non-public event the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of Contango, would materially and adversely affect Contango; provided, however, that in no event shall the Selling
Holders be suspended from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement for a period of 60 consecutive days or an aggregate of 180 days in any 365-day period. Upon disclosure of
such information or the termination of the condition described above, Contango shall provide prompt notice to the Selling Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in the Shelf Registration Statement, and shall promptly terminate any
suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other actions necessary or appropriate to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement. 

Section 2.2 Sale Procedures. 

(a) In connection with its obligations under this Article II, Contango will, as expeditiously as possible: 

(i) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Shelf Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement; 
 (ii) furnish to each Selling Holder (A) as far in
advance as reasonably practicable before filing a Shelf Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any supplement or amendment thereto, upon request, copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such
documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits and each document incorporated by reference therein to the extent then required 

  
 4 

 
by the rules and regulations of the Commission), and provide each such Selling Holder the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Selling Holder and its plan of distribution
that is contained therein and make the corrections reasonably requested by such Selling Holder with respect to such information prior to filing such Shelf Registration Statement or such other registration statement and the prospectus included
therein or any supplement or amendment thereto, and (B) such number of copies of such Shelf Registration Statement or such other registration statement and the prospectus included therein and any supplements and amendments thereto as such
Persons may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement or other registration statement; 

(iii) if applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a
Shelf Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Holders shall reasonably request, provided that Contango will not be required
to qualify generally to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is not then required to so qualify or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 

(iv) promptly notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, of (A) the filing of a Shelf Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any prospectus included therein or any amendment or supplement thereto (other than any amendment or
supplement resulting from the filing of a document incorporated by reference therein), and, with respect to such Shelf Registration Statement or any other registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become
effective; and (B) the receipt of any written comments from the Commission with respect to any filing referred to in clause (A) and any written request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to such Shelf Registration Statement or
any other registration statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement thereto; 
 (v) immediately notify each Selling
Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of (A) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus contained in a Shelf Registration Statement or any other
registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any supplemental amendment thereto, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; (B) the issuance or threat of issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement or any other registration
statement contemplated by this Agreement, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; or (C) the receipt by Contango of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under
the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. Following the provision of such notice, Contango agrees to as promptly as practicable amend or supplement the prospectus or prospectus supplement or take other appropriate action so
that the prospectus or prospectus supplement does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances then existing and to take such other action as is necessary to remove a stop order, suspension, threat thereof or proceedings related thereto; 

  
 5 

 (vi) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least 12 months, but not more than 18 months, beginning with
the first full calendar month after the effective date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder; 

(vii) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed or quoted on each securities
exchange or nationally recognized quotation system on which similar securities issued by Contango are then listed or quoted, and cause to be satisfied all requirements and conditions of such securities exchange or nationally recognized quotation
system to the listing or quoting of such Registrable Securities that are reasonably within the control of Contango, including, without limitation, registering the Registrable Securities under the Exchange Act, if appropriate, and using commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such registration to become effective pursuant to the rule of the Commission; 
 (viii) use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of Contango to enable the Selling
Holders to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 
 (ix) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement; and 
 (x) enter into customary agreements and take such other
actions as are reasonably requested by the Selling Holders in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. 

(b) Each Selling Holder, upon receipt of notice from Contango of the happening of any event of the kind described in
Section 2.2(b)(v), shall forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Securities until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by
Section 2.2(b)(v) or until it is advised in writing by Contango that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings incorporated by reference in the prospectus,
and, if so directed by Contango, such Selling Holder will deliver to Contango (at Contango’s expense) all copies in their possession or control, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of the prospectus
and any prospectus supplement covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. 
 Section 2.3
Cooperation by Holders. Contango shall have no obligation to include Registrable Securities of a Holder in the Shelf Registration Statement if such Selling Holder has failed to timely furnish such information which, in the opinion of counsel
to Contango, is reasonably required in order for the registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act. 

  
 6 

 Section 2.4 Expenses. 

(a) Certain Definitions. “Registration Expenses” means all expenses incident to Contango’s performance under or
compliance with this Agreement to effect the registration of Registrable Securities in a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1 and the disposition of such securities, including, without limitation, all
registration, filing, securities exchange listing and fees, all registration, filing, qualification and other fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws, fees of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, transfer taxes and
fees of transfer agents and registrars, all word processing, duplicating and printing expenses, and the fees and disbursements of Contango’s independent public accountants and counsel for Contango. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 2.5 hereof, Contango shall not be responsible for legal fees incurred by Holders in connection with the exercise of such Holders’ rights hereunder. In addition, Contango shall not be responsible for any
“Selling Expenses,” which means all underwriting fees, discounts and selling commissions, transfer taxes and fees of counsel allocable to the sale of the Registrable Securities. 

(b) Expenses. Contango will pay all reasonable Registration Expenses in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement, whether or not
any sale is made pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement. 
 Section 2.5 Indemnification. 

(a) By Contango. In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, Contango will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder thereunder, its directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and managers, and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder
within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and managers, against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened by any party other than a Selling Holder (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which such Selling Holder or
controlling Person or directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives or managers may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened,
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact (in the case of any prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which such statement is made) contained in the Shelf
Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any free writing prospectus related thereto, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made) not misleading, and will reimburse each such Selling Holder, its directors and officers, and each such controlling Person and each such director, officer, employee, agent, representatives or manager for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred 

  
 7 

 
by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss or actions or proceedings; provided, however, that Contango will not be liable in any such case if and to the
extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Selling Holder or such controlling Person in writing
specifically for use in the Shelf Registration Statement or such other registration statement, or prospectus supplement, as applicable. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such
Selling Holder or any such director, officer, employee, agent, representatives, manager or controlling Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder. 

(b) By Each Selling Holder. Each Selling Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless Contango, its directors,
officers, employees, representatives and agents and each Person, if any, who controls Contango within the meaning of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from Contango to the Selling Holders, but
only with respect to information regarding such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus supplement relating to the Registrable Securities,
or any amendment or supplement thereto. 
 (c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party
shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party other than under this Section 2.5(c) except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure. In any
action brought against any indemnified party, it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense
thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable
to such indemnified party under this Section 2.5 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with
counsel so selected; provided, however, that, (i) if the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action
include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel to the indemnified party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available
to the indemnifying party, or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party or representation by both parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under the
applicable standards of professional conduct, then the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and
fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the indemnifying party shall not settle any
indemnified claim without the consent of the indemnified party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, includes a complete release from liability of, and does not contain any admission of wrong doing by, the indemnified
party. 

  
 8 

 (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 2.5 is held by a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to Contango or any Selling Holder or is insufficient to hold them harmless in respect of any Losses, then each such
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Contango on
the one hand and of such Selling Holder on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall such
Selling Holder be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of the dollar amount of proceeds (net of Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification less the
amount of any damages that such Selling Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The relative fault of Contango on the one hand and each Selling Holder on the
other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact has been made by, or relates to, information supplied by
such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this
paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a
result of the Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any Loss which is the
subject of this paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 (e) Other Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.5 shall be in addition to any other rights to
indemnification or contribution which an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise. 
 Section 2.6
Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Contango, the rights to cause Contango to register Registrable Securities granted to the
Purchasers by Contango under this Article II may not be transferred or assigned by the Purchasers. 

Section 2.7 Aggregation of Registrable Securities. All Registrable Securities held or acquired by Persons who are Affiliates of
one another shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement. In addition, all other shares of Common Stock held by a Person and for which such Person has similar registration rights
pursuant to an agreement between such Person and Contango shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining such Person’s rights under this Agreement solely as such shares relate to minimum quantity requirements contemplated herein;
provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such Common Stock shall not otherwise be deemed Registrable Securities for any other purpose under this Agreement.

 Section 3.5 Specific Performance. Damages in the event of breach of this
Agreement by a party hereto would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and it is therefore agreed that each such Person, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, will have the right to an injunction or

ground of lack of jurisdiction or competence of the court to grant such an injunction or other equitable relief or that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any law to post securities as a prerequisite to obtaining
equitable relief. The existence of this right will not preclude any such Person from pursuing any other rights and remedies at law or in equity which such Person may have. 

Section 3.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions shall be brought and determined by courts of the State of Texas located in Houston, Texas and the federal courts of the United
States of America located in Houston, Texas, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts solely in respect of any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement. 

Section 3.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EACH HEREBY WAIVE, AND AGREE TO CAUSE THEIR AFFILIATES TO WAIVE,

enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 3.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Purchase

 Section 3.13 No Presumption. In the event any claim is made by a party relating to any conflict, omission, or ambiguity in

Section 3.14 Obligations Limited to Parties to Agreement. Each of the parties hereto covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no
Person other than the Purchasers, Selling Holders, their respective permitted assignees and Contango shall have any obligation hereunder and that, notwithstanding that one or more of Contango and the Purchasers may be a corporation, partnership or
limited liability company, no recourse under this Agreement or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or therewith shall be had against any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited
partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of Contango, the Purchasers, Selling Holders or their respective permitted assignees, or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager,
member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability
whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise by incurred by any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of Contango, the Purchasers, Selling
Holders or any of their respective assignees, 

  
 12 

 
or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, as such, for any obligations of
Contango, the Purchasers, Selling Holders or their respective permitted assignees under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligation or its creation, except in each case for any assignee of the Purchasers or a Selling Holder hereunder.

 v 

 THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of September 17, 2019 is among Contango
Oil & Gas Company, a Texas corporation (the “Borrower”); each of the Lenders from time to time party hereto; JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (in its individual capacity, “JPMorgan”), as
Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender (each as defined below); and Royal Bank of Canada and Cadence Bank, N.A., as co-syndication agents for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its
successors in such capacity, the “Syndication Agents”). 
 R E C I T A L S 

A. The Borrower has requested that the Lenders provide certain loans to and extensions of credit on behalf of the Borrower. 

B. The Lenders have agreed to make such loans and extensions of credit subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

C. In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and of the loans, extensions of credit and commitments hereinafter
referred to, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

DEFINITIONS AND ACCOUNTING MATTERS 

Section 1.01 Terms Defined Above. As used in this Agreement, each term defined above has the meaning indicated above. 

Section 1.02 Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below: 

“ABR”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans comprising such
Borrowing, bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate. 
 “Adjusted LIBO Rate”
means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory
Reserve Rate. 
 “Administrative Agent” means JPMorgan in its capacity as administrative agent hereunder, or any
successor administrative agent as provided in Section 11.06. 
 “Administrative
Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent. 
 “Affected
Loans” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 5.05. 
 “Affiliate”
means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified. 

  
 1 

 “Agents” means, collectively, the Administrative Agent and the
Syndication Agents; and “Agent” means the Administrative Agent or any Syndication Agent, as the context requires. 

“Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts” at any time shall equal the sum of the Maximum Credit Amounts, as the same may be
reduced or terminated pursuant to Section 2.06. The initial Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts of the Lenders is $500,000,000. 

“Agreement” means this Credit Agreement, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or
restated. 
 “Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime
Rate in effect on such day, (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus 1⁄2 of 1.0% and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on
such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1.0%; provided that, for the purpose of this definition, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the LIBO Screen Rate (or if the
LIBO Screen Rate is not available for such one month Interest Period, the Interpolated Rate) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted
LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively. If the Alternate Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to
Section 3.03, then the Alternate Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Alternate Base Rate as determined pursuant
to the foregoing would be less than 1.00%, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.00% for purposes of this Agreement. 
 “AML
Laws” means all laws, rules, and regulations of any jurisdiction applicable to any Lender, the Borrower, the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or any Guarantor from time to time concerning or relating to anti-money laundering. 

“Anti-Corruption Laws” means all laws, rules, and regulations of any jurisdiction applicable to the Borrower or any of
its Affiliates from time to time concerning or relating to bribery or corruption. 
 “Applicable Margin” means, for
any day, with respect to any ABR Loan or Eurodollar Loan, or with respect to the Commitment Fee Rate, as the case may be, the applicable rate per annum set forth in the Borrowing Base Utilization Grid below based upon the Borrowing Base Utilization
Percentage then in effect:

 Section 1.06 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on Eurodollar
Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each
other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration
(together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate
may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to
identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in
Section 3.03(b) of this Agreement, such Section 3.03(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to
Section 3.03, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have
any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or
replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to
Section 3.03(b), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or
unavailability. 
 Section 1.07 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at
any time shall be deemed to be the amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Agreement related thereto,
provides for one or more automatic increases in the available amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such
maximum amount is available to be drawn at such time. 
 Section 1.08 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in
connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or
liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and
acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A, dated, in the case of (i) any Lender party hereto as of the date of this Agreement, as of
the date of this Agreement, or (ii) any Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, as of the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption, payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to its Maximum
Credit Amount as in effect on such date, and otherwise duly completed. In the event that any Lender’s Maximum Credit Amount increases or decreases for any reason (whether pursuant to Section 2.06,
Section 12.04(b) or otherwise), upon the request of such Lender, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered on the effective date of such increase or decrease, a new Note payable to such Lender in a
principal amount equal to its Maximum Credit Amount after giving effect to such increase or decrease, and otherwise duly 

  
 34 

 
completed and, upon request by the Borrower, such Lender shall promptly return to the Borrower the previously issued Note held by such Lender. The date, amount, Type, interest rate and, if
applicable, Interest Period of each Loan made by each Lender, and all payments made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books for its Note, and, prior to any transfer, may be endorsed by such Lender on a
schedule attached to such Note or any continuation thereof or on any separate record maintained by such Lender. Failure to make any such notation or to attach a schedule shall not affect any Lender’s or the Borrower’s rights or obligations
in respect of such Loans or affect the validity of such transfer by any Lender of its Note. 
 Section 2.03 Requests for Revolving
Borrowings. To request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Houston, Texas time, three Business Days
before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Houston, Texas time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that no such notice shall be
required for any deemed request of an ABR Revolving Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.08(e). Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be
confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic communication to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify
the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

 (ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; 

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the
definition of the term “Interest Period”; 
 (v) the amount of the then effective Borrowing Base, the current total Revolving
Credit Exposures (without regard to the requested Borrowing) and the pro forma total Revolving Credit Exposures (giving effect to the requested Borrowing); and 

(vi) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of
Section 2.05. 
 If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall
be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Each Borrowing Request shall constitute a
representation that the amount of the requested Borrowing shall not cause the total Revolving Credit Exposures to exceed the total Commitments (i.e., the lesser of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts and the then effective Borrowing Base). 

  
 35 

 Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this
Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 

Section 2.04 Interest Elections. 

(a) Conversion and Continuance. Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request
and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case
of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.04. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each
such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings,
which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b) Interest Election Requests. To make an election pursuant to this
Section 2.04, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were
requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery,
facsimile or electronic communication to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. 

(c) Information in Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies
and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to
Section 2.04(c)(iii) and (iv) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective
date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting
Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 

  
 36 

 (d) Notice to Lenders by the Administrative Agent. Promptly following receipt of an
Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e) Effect of Failure to Deliver Timely Interest Election Request and Events of Default on Interest Election. If the Borrower fails to
deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing
shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing (and any
Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective) and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 Section 2.05 Funding of Borrowings. 

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in
Section 2.09. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent
subject, from and after the Control Agreement Delivery Date, to a Control Agreement and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement
as provided in Section 2.08(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for its Loan in any particular place or manner or
to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for its Loan in any particular place or manner. 

(b) Presumption of Funding by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with Section 2.05(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s
Loan included in such Borrowing. 

  
 37 

 Section 2.06 Termination and Reduction of Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts. 

(a) Scheduled Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. If at any
time the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts or the Borrowing Base is terminated or reduced to zero, then the Commitments shall terminate on the effective date of such termination or reduction. 

(b) Optional Termination and Reduction of Aggregate Credit Amounts. 

(i) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts; provided that
(A) each such partial reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (B) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Maximum
Credit Amounts if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 3.04(c)(i), the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments. 

(ii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts under
Section 2.06(b)(i) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(ii) shall be irrevocable; provided that such a notice may
state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more specified events (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by at least one (1) Business Days’ notice
to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such specified event(s) do not occur. Any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts shall be permanent and may not be reinstated. Each reduction of
the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage. 

Section 2.07 Borrowing Base. 

(a) Borrowing Base. For the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the first Redetermination Date, the amount of
the Borrowing Base shall be $65,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowing Base may be subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to Section 2.07(e), Section 2.07(f),
Section 2.07(g) or Section 8.13(c). 
 (b) Scheduled and Interim Redeterminations.
The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined on or about December 1, 2019 (the “December 2019 Redetermination” and such date, the “December 2019 Redetermination Date”), and thereafter, semi-annually
in accordance with this Section 2.07 (each such scheduled redetermination, a “Scheduled Redetermination”), and, subject to Section 2.07(d), such redetermined Borrowing Base
shall become effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders on May 1st and November 1st of each year, commencing May 1, 2020 (and, in the case of the December 2019 Redetermination, on the
December 2019 Redetermination Date). In addition, (i) the 

  
 38 

 
Borrower may, by notifying the Administrative Agent thereof, one time between successive Scheduled Redeterminations and (ii) the Administrative Agent may, at the direction of the Required
Lenders, by notifying the Borrower thereof, one time between successive Scheduled Redeterminations, each elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined (an “Interim Redetermination”) in accordance with this
Section 2.07. 
 (c) Scheduled and Interim Redetermination Procedure. 

(i) Each Scheduled Redetermination and each Interim Redetermination shall be effectuated as follows: upon receipt by the Administrative Agent
of (A) the Reserve Report and the certificate required to be delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c), and, in the case of
an Interim Redetermination, pursuant to Section 8.12(b) and (c), and (B) such other reports, data and supplemental information, including, without limitation, the information provided pursuant to
Section 8.12(c), as may, from time to time, be reasonably requested by the Majority Lenders (the Reserve Report, such certificate and such other reports, data and supplemental information being the “Engineering
Reports”), the Administrative Agent shall evaluate the information contained in the Engineering Reports and shall, in good faith, propose a new Borrowing Base (the “Proposed Borrowing Base”) based upon such
information and such other information (including, without limitation, the status of title information with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties as described in the Engineering Reports and the existence of any other Debt) as the Administrative
Agent deems appropriate in its sole discretion and consistent with its normal oil and gas lending criteria as they exist at the particular time. 

(ii) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Proposed Borrowing Base (the “Proposed Borrowing
Base Notice”): 
 (A) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination (1) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the
Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on or before April 15th and October 15th of such year following the
date of delivery (or, in the case of the December 2019 Redetermination, on or before November 15, 2019) or (2) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then promptly after the Administrative Agent has received complete Engineering Reports from the Borrower and has had a reasonable opportunity to determine
the Proposed Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.07(c)(i); and 
 (B) in the case of an Interim
Redetermination, promptly, and in any event, within fifteen (15) days after the Administrative Agent has received the required Engineering Reports. 

(iii) Any Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved by all of the Lenders as provided in
this Section 2.07(c)(iii); and any Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved or be deemed to have been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in this
Section 2.07(c)(iii). All decisions regarding the Borrowing Base 

  
 39 

 
hereunder shall be made by each Lender in good faith based upon such information as such Lender deems appropriate in its sole discretion and consistent with such Lender’s normal oil and gas
lending criteria as they exist at the particular time. Upon receipt of the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice, each Lender shall have fifteen (15) days to agree with the Proposed Borrowing Base or disagree with the Proposed Borrowing Base by
proposing an alternate Borrowing Base. If at the end of such fifteen (15) days, any Lender has not communicated its approval or disapproval in writing to the Administrative Agent, such silence shall be deemed to be (A) in the case of a
Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, a disapproval of the Proposed Borrowing Base or (B) in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect, an
approval of the Proposed Borrowing Base. If, at the end of such 15-day period, all of the Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, or the
Required Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect, have approved or deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, then the Proposed Borrowing Base shall become the new Borrowing
Base, effective on the date specified in Section 2.07(d). If, however, at the end of such 15-day period, all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, have not approved
or been deemed to have approved the Proposed Borrowing Base, then the Administrative Agent shall poll the Lenders to ascertain the highest Borrowing Base then acceptable to (x) in the case of a decrease or reaffirmation, a number of Lenders
sufficient to constitute the Required Lenders or (y) in the case of an increase, all of the Lenders, and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in Section 2.07(d). 

(d) Effectiveness of a Redetermined Borrowing Base. After a redetermined Borrowing Base is approved or is deemed to have been approved
by all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the amount of the redetermined Borrowing Base (the
“New Borrowing Base Notice”), and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders: 

(i) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, (A) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to
be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on May 1st or November 1st, as applicable, following such notice (or, in the case of the December 2019 Redetermination, on the
December 2019 Redetermination Date, following such notice), or (B) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 8.12(a) and (c) in a
timely and complete manner, then on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice; and 
 (ii) in the case of an Interim
Redetermination, on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice. 
 Such amount shall then become the Borrowing Base until the next Scheduled
Redetermination Date, the next Interim Redetermination Date or the next adjustment to the Borrowing Base under Section 2.07(e), Section 2.07(f), Section 2.07(g) or
Section 8.13(c), whichever occurs first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Scheduled Redetermination or Interim Redetermination shall become effective until the New Borrowing Base Notice related thereto is received by the
Borrower. 

  
 40 

 (e) Reduction of Borrowing Base Related to Dispositions of Oil and Gas Properties and/or
Liquidation of Swap Agreements. If (i) any Swap Agreement in respect of commodities to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party is Liquidated or (ii) the Borrower or any Subsidiary Disposes of any Borrowing Base Property or
Equity Interests in any Subsidiary owning Borrowing Base Properties, and the Borrowing Base value assigned to the Liquidated portion of such Swap Agreement (after giving effect to any other Swap Agreements executed by the Borrower or any Guarantor
contemporaneously with the Liquidation of such Swap Agreements or subsequent to the most recent Scheduled Redetermination Date) or the fair market value of such Borrowing Base Property (or in the case of any Disposition of Equity Interests in any
Subsidiary owning Borrowing Base Properties, the fair market value of the Borrowing Base Properties owned by such Subsidiary), as applicable, in each case as determined by the Administrative Agent, when combined with the sum of (A) the fair
market value of all other Borrowing Base Properties Disposed of (including, in the case of any Disposition of Equity Interests in any Subsidiary owning Borrowing Base Properties, the fair market value of such Borrowing Base Properties owned by such
Subsidiary), in each case since the most recent Scheduled Redetermination Date and (B) the Borrowing Base value of the Liquidated portion of other Swap Agreements Liquidated since the most recent Scheduled Redetermination Date, exceeds five
percent (5%) of the Borrowing Base as then in effect (as determined by the Administrative Agent), individually or in the aggregate, then the Borrowing Base then in effect shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Borrowing Base value, if any,
assigned to the Liquidated portion of such Swap Agreement or such Disposed Borrowing Base Property in the then effective Borrowing Base, as the case may be, in each case as determined by the Administrative Agent and approved by the Required Lenders.
The Borrowing Base as so reduced shall become the new Borrowing Base immediately upon the date of such Disposition or Liquidation, as the case may be, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders on such date until the next redetermination or adjustment thereof hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.07(e), until the first Scheduled Redetermination Date occurs hereunder, the phrase “the most recent
Scheduled Redetermination Date” shall mean “the Effective Date”. 
 (f) Reduction of Borrowing Base Upon Incurrence of
Permitted Additional Debt. If the Borrower incurs any Permitted Additional Debt in accordance with Section 9.02(g) (other than any Permitted Additional Debt incurred to refinance then-outstanding Permitted Additional
Debt, but only to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of the new Permitted Additional Debt incurred to refinance such outstanding Permitted Additional Debt does not result in an increase in the principal amount thereof), the Borrowing
Base then in effect shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of 0.25 multiplied by the stated principal amount of such Permitted Additional Debt (for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to any original issue discount). The Borrowing
Base as so reduced shall become the new Borrowing Base immediately upon the date of such incurrence, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders on such date until the next redetermination or
adjustment thereof hereunder. 

  
 41 

 (g) Automatic Increase of Borrowing Base Upon Will Acquisition. If the Will
Acquisition is consummated on or before November 30, 2019, then, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.07(g), the Borrowing Base then in effect shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to
$15,000,000 (the “Will BB Increase”) without any further action by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders on
the Business Day on which each of the following conditions is satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 12.02(b)): 
 (i) The
Administrative Agent shall have received (A) true and correct fully-executed copies of the Will Acquisition Documents, which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (B) lease operating statements and
production reports with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties of Will Energy and its subsidiaries evaluated in the reserve report dated July 12, 2019 and prepared by Haas Petroleum Engineering Services, Inc. (the “Will Acquisition
Reserve Report”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter ending at least 45 days prior to the date of the Will
BB Increase. 
 (ii) The Will Acquisition shall have been (or contemporaneously with the Will BB Increase shall be) consummated in
accordance with the terms of the Will Acquisition Agreement, and in connection therewith the Borrower (or its Subsidiaries) shall have acquired at least 95% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the Will Acquisition
Reserve Report. 
 (iii) The Administrative Agent shall have received an officer’s certificate from the Borrower, certifying that
(A) the Will Acquisition has been consummated in accordance with applicable law and the terms described in the Will Acquisition Agreement without giving effect to any waiver, modification or consent thereunder that is materially adverse to the
interests of the Lenders (in their capacities as such), and in connection therewith, the Borrower (or one or more of its Subsidiaries) has acquired the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the Will Acquisition Reserve Report, (B) as to the
adjustments to the purchase price and the final purchase price for the Will Acquisition after giving effect to all adjustments as of the closing date contemplated by the Will Acquisition Agreement; (C) that attached thereto is a true and
complete list of the Oil and Gas Properties which have been excluded from the Will Acquisition; (D) that attached thereto is a true and complete list of the Oil and Gas Properties for which Will Energy has elected to cure a title defect;
(E) that attached thereto is a true and complete list of the Oil and Gas Properties for which Will Energy has elected to remediate an adverse environmental condition; (F) that attached thereto is a true and complete list of the Oil and Gas
Properties which are currently pending final decision by a third party regarding purchase of such property in accordance with any preferential right or consent right; (G) that attached thereto is a true and complete executed copy of the Will
Acquisition Agreement, which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the closing settlement statement; and (H) that true and complete executed copies of all other Will Acquisition Documents
have been delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 42 

 (iv) The Administrative Agent shall have received title information reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent setting forth the status of title to not less than 85% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the Will Acquisition Reserve Report. 

(v) The Administrative Agent shall have received from the Loan Parties fully executed mortgages and/or deeds of trust creating first priority
Liens on at least 85% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the Will Acquisition Reserve Report. 
 (vi) No
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the Will BB Increase. 
 (vii) The Administrative Agent
shall have received all fees due and payable in connection with the Will BB Increase as set forth in that certain fee letter, dated as of the date hereof, between the Borrower and JPMorgan (the “Will BB Increase Fee Letter”).

 (viii) After giving effect to the Will BB Increase and any extension of credit hereunder on the date thereof, the unused Commitments
shall be greater than or equal to $15,000,000. 
 Section 2.08 Letters of Credit. 

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit as the
applicant thereof for the support of its or its Subsidiaries’ obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the period from and including the Effective
Date until the day which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date; provided that the Borrower may not request the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of Letters of Credit hereunder if a Borrowing Base Deficiency
exists at such time or would exist as a result thereof. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.
To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been
approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, but in any event no less than three Business Days (or such shorter time as such
Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion)) a notice: 
 (i) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit or
identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended; 
 (ii) specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension (which shall be a Business Day); 
 (iii) specifying the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with
Section 2.08(c)); 

  
 43 

 (iv) specifying the amount of such Letter of Credit; 

(v) specifying the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or
extend such Letter of Credit; and 
 (vi) specifying the amount of the then effective Borrowing Base and whether a Borrowing Base Deficiency
exists at such time, the current total Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to the requested Letter of Credit or the requested amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit) and the pro forma total Revolving Credit
Exposures (giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit or the requested amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit). 
 In
addition, as a condition to any such Letter of Credit issuance, the Borrower shall have entered into a continuing agreement (or other letter of credit agreement) for the issuance of letters of credit and/or shall submit a letter of credit
application, in each case, as required by the Issuing Bank and using the Issuing Bank’s standard form (each, a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 
 A Letter of Credit shall be
issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension, as applicable, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Commitment, (ii) no Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure shall exceed its Commitment and (iii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total
Commitments (i.e., the lesser of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts and the then effective Borrowing Base). The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, reduce the LC Commitment with the consent of the Issuing Bank; provided that
the Borrower shall not reduce the LC Commitment if, after giving effect of such reduction, the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above shall not be satisfied. 

The Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or
arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of
credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder)
not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Effective Date and that the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or (ii) the issuance
of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally. 

  
 44 

 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination
by notice from the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date fifteen months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension
of the expiration date thereof, fifteen months after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (or such later date as consented to by the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion and
provided that such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized or backstopped in such amounts and pursuant to such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion). 

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and
without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.08(e), or of any
reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason, including after the Maturity Date. Each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees
that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.08(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default, the existence of a Borrowing Base Deficiency or reduction or termination of the Commitments. 

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse
such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, Houston, Texas time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC
Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Houston, Texas time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, Houston, Texas time, on the Business Day immediately
following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower shall, subject to the conditions to Borrowing set forth herein, be deemed to have
requested, and the Borrower does hereby request under such circumstances, that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make
such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the
payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then
due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of
the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.08(e), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the 

  
 45 

 
Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.08(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank
as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.08(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline
Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in
Section 2.08(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit Agreement, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this
Section 2.08(f), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of
their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances
referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a
drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the
Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable
law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly
agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised all requisite care in each such
determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit,
the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon
such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (g) Disbursement Procedures.
The Issuing Bank shall, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. The
Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative 

  
 46 

 
Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or electronic communication) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement
thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement
in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the reimbursement is due and payable at the rate
per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and such interest shall be due and payable on the date when such reimbursement is payable; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to
Section 2.08(e), then Section 3.02(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.08(h) shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest
accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 

(i) Replacement and Resignation of the Issuing Bank. 

(i) The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank
and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of
the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.05(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (A) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (B) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all
previous Issuing Bank, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend any existing Letter of Credit. 

(ii) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank may resign as the Issuing Bank at any time upon
thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, the resigning Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.08(i)(i) above. 

(j) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on any Business Day that the Borrower
receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders demanding that the Borrower cash collateralize the outstanding LC Exposure, (ii) the Borrower is required to cash collateralize the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in
connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(c), or (iii) the Borrower is required to cash collateralize a Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to Section 4.03(d)(ii), then
the Borrower shall pledge and deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent in the 

  
 47 

 
name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders (as a first priority, perfected security interest), at a location and pursuant to documentation in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, an amount in cash in dollars equal to 105% of such LC Exposure or excess attributable to such LC Exposure, as the case may be, 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 Event of Default described in
Section 10.01(h) or Section 10.01(i). The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent 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. The Borrower’s obligation to deposit amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08(j) shall be absolute and unconditional, without regard to
whether any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit has attempted to draw down all or a portion of such amount under the terms of a Letter of Credit, 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 the Borrower or any Subsidiary may now or hereafter have against any such beneficiary, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
or any other Person for any reason whatsoever. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral securing the payment and performance of the Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing or Section 2.08(c), if any LC Exposure remain outstanding after the expiration date specified in Section 2.08(c), the Borrower shall immediately deposit into such account an
amount in cash equal to 105% of such LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The 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 option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s 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 the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, together with
related fees, costs and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.    If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a
result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or pursuant to Section 4.03(d)(ii) as a result of a Defaulting Lender, and the Borrower is not otherwise required to cash collateralize the excess attributable to an LC
Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(c), then such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have
been cured or waived or the events giving rise to such cash collateralization pursuant to Section 4.03(d)(ii) have been satisfied or resolved. 

  
 48 

 (k) Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a
Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing
party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the
Borrower (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the
Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby
acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries. 

(l) Existing Letter of Credit. On the Effective Date, the Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued as a Letter of
Credit under this Agreement by Royal Bank of Canada in its capacity as an Issuing Bank, without payment of any fees otherwise due upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, and such Issuing Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party
hereto, to have sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from such Issuing Bank, a participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage, in such Letter of
Credit. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall have no force or effect with respect to the Existing Letter of Credit. 

Section 2.09 Swingline Loans. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time to time during the Availability Period, the Swingline Lender agrees to make
Swingline Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Lender exceeding the Swingline Commitment,
(ii) any Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding its Commitment, or (iii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Commitments (i.e., the lesser of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts and the then
effective Borrowing Base); provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. 
 (b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall submit a written notice to
the Administrative Agent by telecopy or electronic mail not later than 1:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be in a form approved by the Administrative Agent, shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make
the requested Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to an account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent designated for such purpose (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC
Disbursement as provided in Section 2.08(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 4:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. 

  
 49 

 (c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent require the
Lenders to acquire participations in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative
Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, promptly upon receipt of such notice from the
Administrative Agent (and in any event, if such notice is received by 1:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on a Business Day no later than 4:00 p.m. Houston, Texas time on such Business Day and if received after 1:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on a
Business Day no later than 9:00 a.m., Houston, Texas time on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans.
Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this
paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any
participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline
Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any
such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear;
provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of
participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 

(d) The Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline
Lender and the successor Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid interest accrued
for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 3.02(a). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of
the replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein 

  
 50 

 
to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context
shall require. After the replacement of the Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to
Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans. 
 (e) Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may resign as Swingline Lender at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, the
Swingline Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.09(d) above. 
 ARTICLE III 

PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; PREPAYMENTS; FEES 

Section 3.01 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (a) for the
account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Termination Date and (b) for the account of the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Termination
Date and the fifth Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Borrowing shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding. 
 Section 3.02 Interest. 

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 
 (b) Eurodollar Loans. The Loans comprising each
Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 

(c) Post-Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i)(A) automatically, if an Event of Default under
Section 10.01(h) or Section 10.01(i) has occurred and is continuing, or if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or
under any other Loan Document is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and to the extent that such failure to pay constitutes an Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or
Section 10.01(b), and (B) upon the election of the Majority Lenders, if any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under Section 10.01(a), Section 10.01(b),
Section 10.01(h) or Section 10.01(i)) has occurred and is continuing, then in each case of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), (x) all Loans outstanding shall bear interest, after as well as
before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.02, and (y) and such overdue amount, in the
case of a failure to pay amounts when due, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to two percent 

  
 51 

 
(2%) plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in Section 3.02(a), but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate and (ii) during any Borrowing Base
Deficiency, Loans outstanding in an amount equal to the positive difference between (x) the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding and (y) the then-effective Borrowing Base shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at
a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.02, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.. 

(d) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on
the Termination Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.02(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than an optional
prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan 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
Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

(e) Interest Rate Computations. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation
would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base
Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The
applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and shall be binding upon the parties hereto. 

Section 3.03 Alternate Rate of Interest. 

(a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do
not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; or 

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, facsimile or electronic communication as promptly as
practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving
Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 

  
 52 

 (b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but
either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBO
Screen Rate), (x) the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor
administrator that will continue publication of the LIBO Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate will permanently or
indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after
which the LIBO Screen Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the
then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related
changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less
than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.02(b), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent
of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Lenders
stating that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 3.03(b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause
(ii)(w), clause (ii)(x) or clause (ii)(y) of the first sentence of this Section 3.03(b), only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 Section 3.04 Prepayments. 

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in
part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 3.04(b). 

  
 53 

 (b) Notice and Terms of Optional Prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or electronic communication) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Houston, Texas time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Houston, Texas time, on the date of
prepayment and (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., Houston, Texas time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or email to the Administrative Agent of
a written notice of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in
connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts as contemplated by Section 2.06(b), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in
accordance with Section 2.06(b). Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving
Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to
the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02 and any payments to the extent required by Section 5.02.

 (c) Mandatory Prepayments. 

(i) If, after giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts pursuant to
Section 2.06(b), the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the total Commitments, then the 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, cash collateralize such excess as provided in Section 2.08(j). 

(ii) Upon any redetermination or adjustment to the amount of the Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.07
(other than pursuant to Section 2.07(e) or Section 2.07(f)) or Section 8.13(c), if the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the redetermined or adjusted Borrowing
Base, then after receiving a New Borrowing Base Notice in accordance with Section 2.07(d) or a notice of adjustment pursuant to Section 8.13(c), as the case may be (the date of receipt of any such
notice, the “Deficiency Notification Date”), the Borrower shall (i) at its option take one of the following actions: (A) prepay the Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Borrowing Base Deficiency (and
to the extent that any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, cash collateralize such excess as provided in Section 2.08(j)) within thirty (30) days following the Deficiency
Notification Date; (B) prepay the Borrowings in six consecutive equal monthly installments, the first installment being due and payable on the 30th day after the Deficiency Notification Date and each subsequent installment being due and payable
on the same day in each of the subsequent calendar months, with each payment being equal to one-sixth (1/6th) of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, so that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is reduced to zero within
six months of the Deficiency Notification Date; (C) grant, within thirty (30) days following the Deficiency Notification Date, to the Administrative Agent as security for the Obligations a first-priority Lien on additional Oil and Gas
Properties acceptable to the Required 

  
 54 

 
Lenders in their sole discretion not evaluated in the most recently delivered Reserve Report (and not already subject to a Lien of the Security Instruments) pursuant to Security Instruments
acceptable to the Administrative Agent with sufficient Borrowing Base value (as determined by the Required Lenders) to cure the Borrowing Base Deficiency; or (D) deliver, within 10 days after the Deficiency Notification Date, written notice to
the Administrative Agent indicating the Borrower’s election to combine the options provided in clauses (A), (B) and/or (C) above, and also indicating the amount to be prepaid and the amount to be provided as additional Collateral, and
(ii) make such payment and deliver such additional Collateral within the time required under clauses (A), (B) and/or (C) above; provided that, notwithstanding the options set forth above, in all cases, the Borrowing Base Deficiency
must be eliminated on or prior to the Termination Date. The Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days following its receipt of the New Borrowing Base Notice in accordance with
Section 2.07(d) or the date the adjustment occurs pursuant to Section 8.13(c), as applicable, an irrevocable written notice indicating which of the options specified in clauses (A), (B), (C) or
(D) the Borrower elects to take in order to eliminate the Borrowing Base Deficiency. Such notice shall be irrevocable and, in the event the Borrower fails to provide such written notice to the Administrative Agent within the ten (10) day
period referred to above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have irrevocably elected the option set forth in clause (A) above. The failure of the Borrower to comply with any of the options elected (including any deemed election) pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 3.04(c)(ii) and specified in such notice (or relating to such deemed election) shall constitute an Event of Default. 

(iii) Upon any adjustment to the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.07(e) or
Section 2.07(f) (each such adjustment, a “Specified Adjustment”), if the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the Borrowing Base as adjusted, then the Borrower shall (A) prepay the
Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount equal to (1) if a Borrowing Base Deficiency existed immediately prior to the occurrence of such Specified Adjustment, the positive difference, if any, between (x) the aggregate amount of such
Borrowing Base Deficiency immediately after giving effect to such Specified Adjustment minus (y) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing Base Deficiency immediately prior to such Specified Adjustment or (2) if no Borrowing Base Deficiency
existed immediately prior to such Specified Adjustment, the aggregate amount of such Borrowing Base Deficiency (the applicable amount from clause (1) or (2), the “Specified Borrowing Base Deficiency”), and (B) if
any Specified Borrowing Base Deficiency remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, cash collateralize such excess as provided in Section 2.08(j). The Borrower shall be obligated to make
such prepayment and/or cash collateralize such excess within one Business Day after the date the adjustment occurs; provided that all payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.04(c)(iii) must be made on
or prior to the Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 3.04(c)(iii) shall prejudice the Borrower’s right to utilize the options described in Section 3.04(c)(ii)
with respect to any portion of a Borrowing Base Deficiency existing prior to the occurrence of a Specified Adjustment. 
 (iv) Each
prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall be applied, first, ratably to any Swingline Loans then outstanding, second, ratably to any ABR Revolving Borrowings then outstanding, and, third, to any
Eurodollar Borrowings then outstanding, and if more than one Eurodollar Borrowing is then outstanding, to each such Eurodollar Borrowing in order of priority beginning with the Eurodollar Borrowing with the least number of days remaining in the
Interest Period applicable thereto and ending with the Eurodollar Borrowing with the most number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

  
 55 

 (v) Each prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to this
Section 3.04(c) shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowings. Prepayments pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent
required by Section 3.02. 
 (d) No Premium or Penalty. Prepayments permitted or required under this
Section 3.04 shall be without premium or penalty, except as required under Section 5.02. 

Section 3.05 Fees. 

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall
accrue at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date. Accrued commitment fees
shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case such commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay
(i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to
Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the
date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the average daily amount of
the LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of
termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure; provided that in no event shall such fee be less than $500 during any quarter, and (iii) to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, its standard fees
with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and
December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the Termination Date and any
such fees accruing after the Termination Date shall be payable on demand. During the continuation of an Event of Default, the fees payable pursuant to this Section 3.05(b) shall increase by 2.00% per annum over the
then-applicable rate. Any other fees 

  
 56 

 
payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.05(b) shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case such fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter. 
 (d) Borrowing Base
Increase Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender then party to this Agreement, ratably in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a Borrowing Base increase fee in an amount to be agreed by
the Lenders and the Borrower, in respect of any increase to the Borrowing Base, payable on the effective date of any such increase. 

ARTICLE IV 
 PAYMENTS;
PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING OF SET-OFFS 
 Section 4.01 Payments Generally; Pro Rata
Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 
 (a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make
each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 5.01, Section 5.02,
Section 5.03 or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Houston, Texas time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without defense, deduction, recoupment, set-off or
counterclaim. Fees, once paid, shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances absent manifest error. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have
been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices specified in Section 12.01, except payments to be
made directly to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and
Section 12.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly
following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon
shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. 
 (b) Application of Insufficient
Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied
(i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 

  
 57 

 (c) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment
of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion
shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably
in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this
Section 4.01(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of
this Section 4.01(c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation. 
 Section 4.02 Presumption of Payment by the Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower
has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment,
then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation. 
 Section 4.03 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if
any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a)
fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a). 

  
 58 

 (b) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 10.02(c) or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 12.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent
hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender
in accordance with this Section 4.03; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default, Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting
Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro
rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to
future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document;
seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a
result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that
if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit
were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all
Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded
participations in the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (d) below. Any
payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be deemed
paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 
 (c) The Commitment, the Maximum Credit
Amount and the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver
or other modification pursuant to Section 12.02); provided that this clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent
of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby; and provided, further, that any redetermination or affirmation of the Borrowing 

  
 59 

 
Base shall occur without the participation of a Defaulting Lender, but the Commitment (i.e., the Applicable Percentage of the Borrowing Base of a Defaulting Lender) may not be increased without
the consent of such Defaulting Lender; provided, that, subject to Section 12.19, no such reallocation will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender. 

(d) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than the portion of such Swingline Exposure
referred to in clause (b) of the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that such
reallocation does not, as to any Non-Defaulting Lender, cause such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure to exceed its Commitment; provided that,
subject to Section 12.19, no such reallocation will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting
Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; 
 (ii) if the reallocation
described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, then the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash
collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with
the procedures set forth in Section 2.08(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 
 (iii) if the
Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, then the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 3.05(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause
(i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.05(a) and Section 3.05(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and 
 (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated
nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting
Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.05(b) with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and 

  
 60 

 (e) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be
required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be
100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 4.03(a), and Swingline Exposure
related to any newly made Swingline Loan or LC Exposure related to any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with
Section 4.03(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 
 If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that
any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required
to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. 
 In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the
Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to
reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) and/or participations in Letters of Credit of the other Lenders as the
Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans and/or participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 

Section 4.04 Disposition of Proceeds. The Security Instruments contain an assignment by the Borrower and/or the Guarantors unto
and in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of all of the Borrower’s and/or each Guarantor’s interest in and to production and all proceeds attributable thereto which may be produced from or allocated to
the Mortgaged Property. The Security Instruments further provide in general for the application of such proceeds to the satisfaction of the Obligations and other obligations described therein and secured thereby. Notwithstanding the assignment
contained in such Security Instruments, until the occurrence of an Event of Default, (a) the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties agree that they will neither notify the purchaser or purchasers of such production nor take any other
action to cause such proceeds to be remitted to the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, but the Secured Parties will instead permit such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (b) the Secured Parties hereby
authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and/or such Subsidiaries.

 ARTICLE V 

INCREASED COSTS; BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS; TAXES; ILLEGALITY 

Section 5.01 Increased Costs. 

(a) Eurodollar Changes in Law. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan
requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; 

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting
this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or 
 (iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes
(other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other
obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase
the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of
participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if
any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing
Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the
Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

  
 62 

 (c) Certificates. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth in
reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 5.01(a) or (b) shall be delivered to the
Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Effect of Failure or Delay in Requesting Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies
the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further that, if the Change in Law giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

Section 5.02 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on
the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a
request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.04, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall
be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would
have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest
Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a
comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. 
 A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail
any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 Section 5.03 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan
Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the

  
 63 

 
deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely
pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or such Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that
after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower and
each Guarantor shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes. 

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower and each Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten
(10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be
withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or
any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.03, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) Status of Lenders. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 5.03(e)(ii)(A), Section 5.03(e)(ii)(B) and Section 5.03(e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

  
 64 

 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form)
certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally
entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to
time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1)
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form
W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax
pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(2) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, executed copies of
IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form); 
 (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the
benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a
“bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form); or 
 (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial
owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form), IRS Form
W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as
applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

  
 65 

 (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such
Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at
the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and
such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has
complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after
the date of this Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or
inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(f) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after
demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or any Guarantor has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower and each Guarantor to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and
(iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source
against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (f). 

  
 66 

 (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion
exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 5.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.03 with respect to the Taxes giving rise
to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will
the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to
such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other
Person. 
 (h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.03 shall survive the resignation
or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 5.03, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Bank
and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 
 Section 5.04 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a
different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost
or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

  
 67 

 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 5.01, (ii) the Borrower or any Guarantor is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or indemnify any Lender pursuant to
Section 5.03, (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then in any such case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort,
upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.04(b)), all its interests,
rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender,
which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (C) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and
(D) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Lender shall not
be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto
agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent
applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (ii) the Lender required to make such
assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other
parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the
parties thereto. 
 Section 5.05 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes
unlawful for any Lender or its applicable lending office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans either generally or having a particular Interest Period hereunder, then (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make such Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (the “Affected Loans”) until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain such Eurodollar Loans and
(b) all Affected Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender shall be made instead as ABR Loans (and, if such Lender so requests by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, all Affected Loans of such Lender then outstanding
shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Affected Loans are so made as (or converted into) ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to
such Lender’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans.

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 interested 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 any Loan Document or the consummation of the Transactions, except such as have been obtained or made and are
in full force and effect other than (i) the recording and filing of the Security Instruments as required by this Agreement and (ii) those third party approvals or consents which, if not made or obtained would not cause a Default hereunder,

(ii) the charter, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any order of any Governmental Authority; (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding
upon the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective material Properties, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of

(g) there has been no exposure of any Person or Property to any Hazardous Materials as a result of or in connection with the operations and
businesses of any of the Borrower’s or the Subsidiaries’ Properties that could reasonably be expected to form the basis for a claim for damages or compensation, and there are no conditions or circumstances that would reasonably be expected
to result in the receipt of notice regarding such exposure; and 
 (h) the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have provided to the Lenders
complete and correct copies of all environmental site assessment reports, investigations, studies, analyses, and correspondence on environmental matters (including matters relating to any alleged
non-compliance with or liability under Environmental Laws) that are in the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s possession or control and relating to their respective Properties or operations thereon.

 Section 7.07 Compliance with the Laws and Agreements; No Defaults. 

(a) The Borrower and each Subsidiary is in compliance with all Governmental Requirements applicable to it or its Property and all agreements
and other instruments binding upon it or its Property, and possesses all licenses, permits, franchises, exemptions, approvals and other governmental authorizations necessary for the ownership of its Property and the conduct of its business, except
where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b)
Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default nor has any event or circumstance occurred which, but for the expiration of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default or would require the Borrower
or any Subsidiary to Redeem or make any offer to Redeem under any indenture, note, credit agreement or instrument pursuant to which any Material Debt is outstanding or by which the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their Properties is bound. 

(c) No Default has occurred and is continuing. 

Section 7.08 Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company
“controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

Section 7.09 Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports
required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as
applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP and (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or result in the seizure or levy of any
Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of Taxes and other governmental charges are, in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower, adequate. No Tax Lien
has been filed and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted with respect to any such Tax or other such governmental charge which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 7.10 ERISA. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary sponsors, maintains, or contributes to, or has at any time in the six-year period preceding the date hereof sponsored, maintained or contributed to, any Plan or Multiemployer Plan. Except as could not reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Effect, no ERISA Event
has occurred. None of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations), and neither the execution, delivery nor performance of the transactions
contemplated under this Agreement, including the making of any Loan and the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, will give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code. 

  
 76 

 Section 7.11 Disclosure; No Material Misstatements. 

(a) The Borrower has disclosed or made available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other
restrictions to which it, or any of the Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the other reports, financial
statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their Affiliates in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon
assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. There is no fact peculiar to the Borrower or any Subsidiary which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or in the future is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect and which has not been set forth in this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary prior to, or
on, the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. There are no statements or conclusions in any Reserve Report which are based upon or include materially misleading information or fail to take into account material
information regarding the matters reported therein, it being understood that projections concerning volumes attributable to the Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and production and cost estimates contained in each Reserve
Report are necessarily based upon professional opinions, estimates and projections and that the Borrower and the Subsidiaries do not warrant that such opinions, estimates and projections will ultimately prove to have been accurate. 

(b) As of the Effective Date, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct in all respects. 

Section 7.12 Insurance. The Borrower has, and has caused all of its Subsidiaries to have, (a) all insurance policies
sufficient for the compliance by each of them with all material Governmental Requirements and all material agreements and (b) insurance coverage in at least amounts and against such risk (including, without limitation, public liability) that
are usually insured against by companies similarly situated and engaged in the same or a similar business for the assets and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Such insurance policies contain an endorsement naming the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders as additional insureds in respect of such liability insurance policies and naming the Administrative Agent as loss payee with respect to Property loss insurance. 

  
 77 

 Section 7.13 Restriction on Liens. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a
party to any agreement or arrangement (other than Capital Leases creating Liens permitted by Section 9.03(c), but then only on the Property subject of such Capital Lease), or subject to any order, judgment, writ or decree,
which either restricts or purports to restrict its ability to grant Liens to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on or in respect of their Properties to secure the Obligations and the Loan Documents, or restricts any Subsidiary from paying
dividends or making any other distributions in respect of its Equity Interests to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or restricts any Subsidiary from making loans or advances or transferring any Property to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or which
requires the consent of or notice to other Persons in connection therewith. 
 Section 7.14 Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on
Schedule 7.14 or as disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly furnish a copy to the Lenders), which shall be a supplement to Schedule 7.14, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries and each Subsidiary is a Material
Subsidiary. The Borrower has no Foreign Subsidiaries. Each Subsidiary is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary. 
 Section 7.15 Location of
Business and Offices. The Borrower’s jurisdiction of organization is Texas, and the name of the Borrower as listed in the public records of its jurisdiction of organization is Contango Oil & Gas Company (or, in each case, as set
forth in a notice delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.01(n) in accordance with Section 12.01). The Borrower’s principal place of business and chief executive office is
located at the address specified in Section 12.01 (or as set forth in a notice delivered pursuant to Section 8.01(n) and Section 12.01(c)). Each Subsidiary’s
jurisdiction of organization, name as listed in the public records of its jurisdiction of organization, and the location of its principal place of business and chief executive office is stated on Schedule 7.14 (or as set forth in a notice
delivered pursuant to Section 8.01(n)). 
 Section 7.16 Properties; Titles, Etc. 

(a) Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has good and defensible title to their respective Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the most
recently delivered Reserve Report and good title to all its material personal Properties, in each case, free and clear of all Liens except Liens permitted by Section 9.03. After giving full effect to the Excepted Liens, the
Borrower or the Subsidiary specified as the owner owns the net interests in production attributable to the Hydrocarbon Interests as reflected in the most recently delivered Reserve Report, and the ownership of such Properties shall not in any
material respect obligate the Borrower or such Subsidiary to bear the costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operations of each such Property in an amount in excess of the working interest of each Property set forth in the
most recently delivered Reserve Report that is not offset by a corresponding proportionate increase in the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s net revenue interest in such Property. 

(b) All material leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries are valid and subsisting,
in full force and effect, and there exists no default or event or circumstance which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would give rise to a default under any such lease or leases, which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 78 

 (c) The rights and Properties presently owned, leased or licensed by the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries including, without limitation, all easements and rights of way, include all rights and Properties necessary to permit the Borrower and the Subsidiaries to conduct their business in all material respects in the same manner as its
business has been conducted prior to the date hereof. 
 (d) All of the Properties of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries which are reasonably
necessary for the operation of their businesses are in good working condition and are maintained in accordance with prudent industry standards, ordinary wear and tear excepted. 

(e) Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other
intellectual Property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and such Subsidiary does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and the Subsidiaries either own or have valid licenses or other rights to use all databases, geological data, geophysical data, engineering data, seismic data, maps,
interpretations and other technical information used in their businesses as presently conducted, subject to the limitations contained in the agreements governing the use of the same, which limitations are customary for companies engaged in the
business of the exploration and production of Hydrocarbons, with such exceptions as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 7.17 Maintenance of Properties. Except for such acts or failures to act as could not be reasonably expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, the Oil and Gas Properties (and Properties unitized therewith) of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have been maintained, operated and developed in a good and workmanlike manner and in conformity with all Governmental
Requirements and in conformity with the provisions of all leases, subleases or other contracts comprising a part of the Hydrocarbon Interests and other contracts and agreements forming a part of the Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries. Specifically in connection with the foregoing, except for those as could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) no Oil and Gas Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is subject to having allowable
production reduced below the full and regular allowable (including the maximum permissible tolerance) because of any overproduction (whether or not the same was permissible at the time) and (ii) none of the wells comprising a part of the Oil
and Gas Properties (or Properties unitized therewith) of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is deviated from the vertical more than the maximum permitted by Governmental Requirements, and such wells are, in fact, bottomed under and are producing from,
and the well bores are wholly within, the Oil and Gas Properties (or in the case of wells located on Properties unitized therewith, such unitized Properties) of the Borrower or such Subsidiary. All pipelines, wells, gas processing plants, platforms
and other material improvements, fixtures and equipment owned in whole or in part by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that are necessary to conduct normal operations are being maintained in a state adequate to conduct normal operations, and
with respect to such of the foregoing which are operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, in a manner consistent with customary industry practices (other than those the failure of which to maintain in accordance with this
Section 7.17 could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). 

  
 79 

 Section 7.18 Gas Imbalances, Prepayments. Except as set forth on Schedule
7.18 or on the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.12(c), on a net basis there are no gas imbalances, take or pay or other prepayments which would require the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries to
deliver Hydrocarbons produced from their Oil and Gas Properties at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor exceeding one half bcf of gas (on an mcf equivalent basis) in the aggregate. 

Section 7.19 Marketing of Production. Except for contracts listed and in effect on the date hereof on Schedule 7.19, and
thereafter either disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent or included in the most recently delivered Reserve Report (with respect to all of which contracts the Borrower represents that it or its Subsidiaries are receiving a price for all
production sold thereunder which is computed substantially in accordance with the terms of the relevant contract and are not having deliveries curtailed substantially below the subject Property’s delivery capacity), no material agreements exist
which are not cancelable on 60 days’ notice or less without penalty or detriment for the sale of production from the Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ Hydrocarbons (including, without limitation, calls on or other rights to purchase,
production, whether or not the same are currently being exercised) that (a) pertain to the sale of production at a fixed price and (b) have a maturity or expiry date of longer than six (6) months. 

Section 7.20 Swap Agreements and Qualified ECP Counterparty. Schedule 7.20, as of the date hereof, and after the date
hereof, each report required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.01(f), as of the date of (or as of the date(s) otherwise set forth in) such report, sets forth, a true and complete list of all Swap
Agreements of the Borrower and each Subsidiary, the material terms thereof (including the type, term, effective date, termination date and notional amounts or volumes), the estimated net mark to market value thereof, all credit support agreements
relating thereto other than the Loan Documents (including any margin required or supplied) and the counterparty to each such agreement. The Borrower is a Qualified ECP Counterparty. 

Section 7.21 Use of Loans and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used (a) to
refinance in full all obligations outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, (b) for working capital for exploration and production operations and for other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, including the
acquisition of Oil and Gas Properties and (c) to pay fees and expenses associated with the Transactions. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are not engaged principally, or as one of its or their important activities, in the business of extending
credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board). No part of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will be used for
any purpose which violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. 
 Section 7.22 Solvency. After
giving effect to the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (a) the aggregate assets (after giving effect to amounts that could reasonably be expected to be received by reason of indemnity, offset, insurance or any similar
arrangement), at a fair valuation, of the Borrower and the Guarantors, taken as a whole, exceed the aggregate Debt of the Borrower and the Guarantors on a consolidated basis, (b) each of the Borrower and the Guarantors has not incurred and does
not intend to incur, and does not 

  
 80 

 
believe that it will incur, Debt beyond its ability to pay such Debt (after taking into account the timing and amounts of cash reasonably expected to be received by each of the Borrower and the
Guarantors and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of its liabilities, and giving effect to amounts that could reasonably be expected to be received by reason of indemnity, offset, insurance or any similar arrangement), as such Debt becomes
absolute and matures and (c) each of the Borrower and the Guarantors does not have (and does not have reason to believe that it will have thereafter) unreasonably small capital for the conduct of its business. 

Section 7.23 International Operations. None of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries own, and have not acquired or made any other
expenditure (whether such expenditure is capital, operating or otherwise) in or related to, any Oil and Gas Properties located outside of the geographical boundaries of the United States or in the offshore federal waters of the United States of
America. 
 Section 7.24 USA PATRIOT; AML Laws; Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Borrower has implemented and maintains
in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with the USA PATRIOT Act, Anti-Corruption Laws, applicable AML Laws and applicable
Sanctions. The Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors, and to the knowledge of the Borrower, its employees and agents, are in compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act, Anti-Corruption Laws, applicable AML Laws and
applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of (a) the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their respective directors, officers or employees, or (b) to the knowledge of the Borrower, any agent of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that
will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, (i) is a Sanctioned Person or (ii) is in violation of AML Laws, or Anti-Corruption Laws. No Borrowing or Letter of Credit, use of proceeds
or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will cause a violation of AML Laws, Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries or any Guarantor, or, to the knowledge of such Borrower, any other
Affiliate, has engaged in or intends to engage in any dealings or transactions with, or for the benefit of, any Sanctioned Person or with or in any Sanctioned Country. 

Section 7.25 Accounts. Schedule 7.25 (as Schedule 7.25 is amended, amended and restated, or supplemented with the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent) lists all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts maintained by or for the benefit of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any financing statement may describe the Collateral as “all assets” of the applicable Borrower or Guarantor or words of similar effect as may be required by the Administrative Agent. 

Section 8.12 Reserve Reports. 

(a) On or before November 1, 2019, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Reserve Report evaluating the
Proved Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of October 1, 2019 (the “October 2019 Reserve Report”). On or before April 1st and October 1st of each year, commencing April 1, 2020, the Borrower
shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Reserve Report evaluating the Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the immediately preceding
January 1st and July 1st, respectively. The Reserve Report as of January 1 of each year shall be prepared by one or more
Approved Petroleum Engineers, and the October 2019 Reserve Report and the July 1 Reserve Report of each year shall be prepared by or under the supervision of the chief engineer of the Borrower who shall certify such Reserve Report to be true
and accurate in all material respects and to have been prepared in accordance with the procedures used in the immediately preceding January 1 Reserve Report (or, in the case of the October 2019 Reserve Report, the Initial Reserve Report). 

(b) In the event of an Interim Redetermination, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Reserve Report
prepared by or under the supervision of the chief engineer of the Borrower who shall certify such Reserve Report to be true and accurate and to have been prepared in accordance with the procedures used in the immediately preceding January 1

of” date as required by the Administrative Agent as soon as possible, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days following the receipt of such request. 

(c) With the delivery of each Reserve Report, the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a certificate from a
Responsible Officer certifying that in all material respects: (i) the information contained in the Reserve Report and any other information delivered in connection therewith is true and correct in all material respects, (ii) the Borrower
or its Subsidiaries owns good and defensible title to the Oil and Gas Properties 

  
 89 

 
evaluated in such Reserve Report and such Properties are free of all Liens except for Liens permitted by Section 9.03, (iii) except as set forth on an exhibit to the
certificate, on a net basis there are no gas imbalances, take or pay or other prepayments in excess of the volume specified in Section 7.18 with respect to its Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in such Reserve Report which
would require the Borrower or any Subsidiary to deliver Hydrocarbons either generally or produced from such Oil and Gas Properties at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor, (iv) none of their Oil and Gas
Properties have been sold (other than Hydrocarbons sold in the ordinary course of business) since the date of the last Borrowing Base determination except as set forth on an exhibit to the certificate, which certificate shall list all of its Oil and
Gas Properties sold (other than Hydrocarbons sold in the ordinary course of business) and in such detail as required by the Administrative Agent, (v) attached to the certificate is a list of all marketing agreements entered into subsequent to
the later of the date hereof or the most recently delivered Reserve Report which the Borrower could reasonably be expected to have been obligated to list on Schedule 7.19 had such agreement been in effect on the date hereof and
(vi) attached thereto is a schedule of the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report that are Mortgaged Properties and demonstrating that the total value of such Mortgaged Properties as a percentage of the total value of the total
proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in such Reserve Report is in compliance with Section 8.14(a). 

Section 8.13 Title Information. 

(a) On or before the delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of each Reserve Report required by
Section 8.12(a), the Borrower will deliver title information in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent covering enough of the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report that were not included
in the immediately preceding Reserve Report, so that the Administrative Agent shall have received together with title information previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, title information reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
on at least 85% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report. 
 (b) If the Borrower has provided
title information for additional Properties under Section 8.13(a), the Borrower shall, within sixty (60) days of notice from the Administrative Agent that title defects or exceptions exist with respect to such
additional Properties, either (i) cure any such title defects or exceptions (including defects or exceptions as to priority) which are not permitted by Section 9.03 raised by such information, (ii) substitute
acceptable Mortgaged Properties with no title defects or exceptions (provided that Excepted Liens of the type described in clauses (a) through (d) and (f) of the definition thereof may exist, but subject to the provisos at the
end of such definition) having an equivalent value or (iii) deliver title information in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent so that the Administrative Agent shall have received, together with title information
previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, title information reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent on at least 85% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report. 

  
 90 

 (c) If the Borrower is unable to cure any title defect requested by the Administrative Agent
or the Lenders to be cured within the 60-day period or the Borrower does not comply with the requirements to provide reasonably acceptable title information covering 85% of the total value of the proved Oil
and Gas Properties evaluated in the most recent Reserve Report, such default shall not be a Default, but instead the Administrative Agent and/or the Required Lenders shall have the right to exercise the following remedy in their sole discretion from
time to time, and any failure to so exercise this remedy at any time shall not be a waiver as to future exercise of the remedy by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders are not
reasonably satisfied with title to any Mortgaged Property after the 60-day period has elapsed, such unacceptable Mortgaged Property shall not count towards the 85% requirement, and the Administrative Agent may
send a notice to the Borrower and the Lenders that the then outstanding Borrowing Base shall be reduced by an amount as determined by the Required Lenders to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the requirement to provide reasonably
acceptable title information on 85% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties. This new Borrowing Base shall become effective immediately after receipt of such notice. 

Section 8.14 Additional Collateral; Additional Guarantors. 

(a) In connection with each redetermination of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall review the Reserve Report and the list of current
Mortgaged Properties (as described in Section 8.12(c)(vi)) to ascertain whether the Mortgaged Properties represent at least 85% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties 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 Mortgaged Properties do not represent at least 85% of such value, then the Borrower shall, and
shall cause its Subsidiaries to, grant, within thirty (30) days of delivery of the certificate required under Section 8.12(c), to the Administrative Agent as security for the Obligations a first-priority Lien
(provided that Excepted Liens of the type described in clauses (a) through (d) and (f) of the definition thereof may exist, but subject to the provisos at the end of such definition) on additional Oil and Gas Properties not
already subject to a Lien of the Security Instruments such that after giving effect thereto, the Mortgaged Properties will represent at least 85% of such value. All such Liens will be created and perfected by and in accordance with the provisions of
deeds of trust, mortgages, security agreements and financing statements or other Security Instruments, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and in sufficient executed (and acknowledged where necessary or
appropriate) counterparts for recording purposes. In order to comply with the foregoing, if any Subsidiary places a Lien on its Oil and Gas Properties pursuant to this Section 8.14(a) and such Subsidiary is not a Guarantor,
then it shall become a Guarantor and comply with Section 8.14(b). 
 (b) If (i) the Borrower or any Subsidiary
creates or acquires any Material Subsidiary or (ii) any Subsidiary becomes a Material Subsidiary (whether pursuant to the definition of Material Subsidiary or otherwise), then the Borrower shall cause, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to,
promptly, but in any event no later than ten (10) days after the date of creation or acquisition thereof or the date such Subsidiary becomes a Material Subsidiary, as the case may be (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in
its sole discretion): (A) cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed supplement to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (or such other document as the Administrative Agent
shall deem appropriate for such purpose), (B) pledge all of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary (including, without limitation, delivery of original stock certificates evidencing the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary, together with an
appropriate undated stock power for each certificate duly executed in blank by the registered owner thereof, if applicable) and (C) execute and deliver such other additional closing documents, certificates and legal opinions as shall reasonably
be requested by the Administrative Agent.

Subsidiaries to promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent upon becoming aware of the occurrence of any ERISA Event specifying the nature thereof, what action the Borrower, the Subsidiary or the ERISA Affiliate is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto. 
 Section 8.16 Marketing Activities. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
engage in marketing activities for any Hydrocarbons or enter into any contracts related thereto other than (a) contracts for the sale of Hydrocarbons scheduled or reasonably estimated to be produced from their proved Oil and Gas Properties
during the period of such contract, (b) contracts for the sale of Hydrocarbons scheduled or reasonably estimated to be produced from proved Oil and Gas Properties of third parties during the period of such contract associated with the Oil and
Gas Properties of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries that the Borrower or any Subsidiary has the right to market pursuant to joint operating agreements, unitization agreements or other similar contracts that are usual and customary in the oil and gas
business and (c) other contracts for the purchase and/or sale of Hydrocarbons of third parties (i) which have generally offsetting provisions (i.e., corresponding pricing mechanics, delivery dates and points and volumes) such that
no “position” is taken and (ii) for which appropriate credit support has been taken to alleviate the material credit risks of the counterparty thereto. 

Section 8.17 Accounts. 

(a) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, cause each of its Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts at all times to be
subject to a Control Agreement; provided that (a) no such Control Agreement shall be required for any Excluded Account and (b) with respect to Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts maintained by the Borrower and the Guarantors as

covering such accounts (such date, the “Control Agreement Delivery Date”). 
 (b) From and after the Control
Agreement Delivery Date, the Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, maintain all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) with a Lender or an Affiliate thereof. 

Section 8.18 Minimum Hedging. (a) On or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, the
Borrower shall provide evidence to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that the Loan Parties shall have entered into Swap Agreements with one or more Approved Counterparties hedging
minimum notional volumes of at least 50% of the reasonably projected production of crude oil and natural gas, calculated separately, from proved developed producing Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the Initial Reserve Report, for each of the 24
full calendar months following such date and (b) on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing with April 1, 2020 (each, a “Minimum  

  
 92 

 
Hedging Requirement Date”), the Borrower shall provide evidence to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that the
Loan Parties have entered into Swap Agreements with one or more Approved Counterparties hedging minimum notional volumes of at least 50% of the reasonably projected production of crude oil and natural gas, calculated separately, from proved
developed producing Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the Reserve Report most recently delivered to the Administrative Agent, for 24 full calendar months following such Minimum Hedging Requirement Date (provided that the Loan Parties shall
not be required to hedge volumes attributable to the reasonably projected production from offshore Oil and Gas Properties for the months of August, September or October).

Equity Interests to the Borrower or any Guarantor, (c) paying any Debt owed to the Borrower or any other Subsidiary, (d) making loans or advances to, or other Investments in, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary, or (e) transferring

deliver Hydrocarbons at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor exceeding one half bcf of gas (on an mcf equivalent basis) in the aggregate. 

Section 9.18 Swap Agreements. 

(a) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into any Swap Agreements with any Person other than (i) (A) Swap
Agreements in respect of commodities, (B) with an Approved Counterparty, (C) with a tenor not to exceed 60 months, and (D) the notional volumes for which (when aggregated with other commodity Swap Agreements then in effect other than

Properties of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries evaluated in the Initial Reserve Report or thereafter the Reserve Report most recently delivered pursuant to Section 8.12, for each month following the date such Swap
Agreement is entered into, in each case for each of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas, calculated separately; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not enter into or maintain any
commodity Swap Agreements with respect projected production from offshore Oil and Gas Properties for August, September or October of any calendar year, other than floors, puts or other hedging arrangements that do not carry any delivery risk and
(ii) Swap Agreements in respect of interest rates with an Approved Counterparty effectively converting interest rates from floating to fixed, the notional amounts of which (when aggregated with all other Swap Agreements of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries 

  
 100 

 
then in effect effectively converting interest rates from floating to fixed) do not exceed, as of the date such Swap Agreement is entered into, 75% of the then outstanding principal amount of the
Borrower’s Debt for borrowed money which bears interest at a floating rate. In no event shall any Swap Agreement contain any requirement, agreement or covenant for the Borrower or any Subsidiary to post collateral or margin to secure their
obligations under such Swap Agreement or to cover market exposures; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit or be deemed to prohibit the Secured Swap Obligations from being secured by the Security Instruments. 

(b) If, on the last day of any calendar month, the aggregate notional volumes of all Swap Agreements in respect of commodities to which the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party for which settlement payments were calculated in such calendar month exceeds 100% of the actual production of Hydrocarbons (for each of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas, calculated
separately) from the proved developed producing Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in such calendar month (other than puts, floors, and basis differential swaps on volumes hedged by other Swap Agreements), then the Borrower
shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, Liquidate existing Swap Agreements within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of such calendar month, such that, after giving effect to such Liquidation, future hedging notional volumes will not
exceed 100% of reasonably projected production of Hydrocarbons (for each of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas, calculated separately) from the proved developed producing Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for
the then-current month and any succeeding calendar months. 
 Section 9.19 Amendments to Material Agreements; Amendment to Fiscal
Year. 
 (a) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, amend, modify or supplement (or enter into any
agreement that has the effect of amending, modifying or supplementing) any of its organizational documents in any manner that would be materially adverse to the Lenders in their capacities as such.

 Section 9.21
Repayment of Permitted Additional Debt; Amendment to Terms of Permitted Additional Debt.

 101 

 (i) so long as no Default, Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency has occurred and
is continuing or would result therefrom, the Borrower may Redeem any Permitted Additional Debt with (A) the net cash proceeds of any newly issued Permitted Additional Debt to the extent permitted to be incurred pursuant to
Section 9.02(g) or (B) the net cash proceeds of any issuance or sale of, or in exchange for, common Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) of the Borrower; and 

(ii) from and after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower may Redeem any Permitted Additional Debt in cash so long as both
before, and immediately after giving effect to, any such Redemption, (A) no Default or Event of Default exists or would exist, (B) the unused portion of the Commitments is equal to or greater than 25% of the total Commitments and
(C) the Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 (on a pro forma basis as the Leverage Ratio is recomputed on such date using (1) Total Debt outstanding on such date and (2) EBITDAX for the four fiscal quarters (or,
if applicable, the relevant annualized period determined in accordance with Section 9.01(a)) ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding such date for which financial statements are available). 

(b) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, amend, modify, waive or otherwise change, consent or agree to any
amendment, modification, waiver or other change to, any of the terms of any Permitted Additional Debt or any Permitted Additional Debt Document if: (i) the effect thereof would be to shorten its maturity or average life or increase the amount
of any payment of principal thereof or increase the rate or shorten any period for payment of interest thereon; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the execution of supplemental indentures associated with the incurrence of
additional Permitted Additional Debt to the extent permitted by Section 9.02(g), or the execution of supplemental indentures to add guarantors if required by the terms of any Permitted Additional Debt provided such Person
complies with Section 8.14(b); or (ii) the effect thereof would be to cause the Borrower to violate the terms of Section 9.02(g). 

(c) With respect to any Permitted Additional Debt that is subordinated to the Obligations or any other Debt, the Borrower will not, and will
not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, designate any such Debt (other than obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries pursuant to the Loan Documents) as “Specified Senior Indebtedness” or “Specified Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness” or give any such other Debt any other similar designation for the purposes of such Permitted Additional Debt Document related to such Permitted Additional Debt that is subordinated to the Obligations or any other Debt.

 ARTICLE XI 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

Section 11.01 Appointment; Powers. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent
as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions
and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor shall have rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 Section 11.02 Duties and Obligations of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or
express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law; rather, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting
parties), (b) the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except as provided in Section 11.03, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender,
and shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in
any other Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article VI or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or as to those conditions precedent expressly required to be to the Administrative Agent’s
satisfaction, (vi) the existence, value, perfection or priority of any collateral security or the financial or other condition of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or any other obligor or guarantor, or (vii) any failure by the Borrower or
any other Person (other than itself) to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or the performance or observance of any covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein. For purposes of
determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article VI, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or
approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to the proposed closing date specifying its objection thereto. 

  
 106 

 Section 11.03 Action by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
have no duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing
as directed by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02) and in all cases the Administrative Agent shall be fully
justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Documents unless it shall (a) receive written instructions from the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 12.02) specifying the action to be taken and (b) be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action. The instructions as aforesaid and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto by the Administrative Agent shall be binding on all of the Lenders. If a Default has occurred and is continuing,
then the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the requisite Lenders in the written instructions (with indemnities) described in this Section 11.03; provided
that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem
advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the Loan
Documents or applicable law. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary
under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02), and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other
document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith INCLUDING ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

Section 11.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon
any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon and each of the Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby waives the right to dispute
the Administrative Agent’s record of such statement, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the
payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof permitted hereunder shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. 

  
 107 

 Section 11.05 Subagents. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent
may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding Sections of this Article XI shall apply to any such
sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 Section 11.06 Resignation
of Administrative Agent. 
 (a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this
Section 11.06, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives
notice of its resignation as the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Borrower and such successor Administrative Agent. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XI and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank
and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents;
provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security Instrument for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested
with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security Instrument, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative
Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that the retiring
Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Instrument, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any 

  
 108 

 
such security interest), and (ii) the Majority Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent;
provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and
(B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender and the Issuing Bank. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative
Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 12.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for
the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative
Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (i) above. 

Section 11.07 Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Commitment, Loans (including Swingline Loans), LC Commitment
and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender
or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The terms “Issuing Bank”, “Lenders”, “Majority Lenders”, “Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the
Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, the Issuing Bank or as one of Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if
such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank. 

Section 11.08 No Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent
or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party. Each Lender also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in
taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the
performance or observance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the Properties or books of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Agents nor the Arrangers shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender
with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates. In this regard, each
Lender acknowledges that Paul Hastings LLP is acting in this transaction as special counsel to the 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. 

  
 109 

 Section 11.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled
and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under
Section 12.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under
Section 12.03. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender
in any such proceeding. 
 Section 11.10 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent
may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.03(a) or Section 5.03(c), each Lender and the
Issuing Bank shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses
(including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the
Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender

  
 110 

 
failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to any Lender or the Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 11.10. The agreements in this
Section 11.10 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all other Obligations. 
 Section 11.11 Authority of Administrative Agent to Release Collateral and Liens. 

(a) Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take the following actions and the Administrative Agent
hereby agrees to take such actions at the request of the Borrower: 
 (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (x) on the “Release Date” (as such term is defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), (y) that is permitted to be Disposed of or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan
Documents or (z) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders (or, if approval, authorization or ratification by all Lenders is required under Section 12.02(b), then by all Lenders); 

(ii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents if such Person
ceases to be a Material Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents; and 
 (iii) to execute and deliver to
the Borrower, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents necessary or useful to accomplish or evidence the foregoing. 

(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s
authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.11. 
 (c) Except as
otherwise provided in Section 12.08 with respect to rights of setoff, and notwithstanding any other provision contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, no Person other than the Administrative Agent has any
right to realize upon any of the Collateral individually, to enforce any Liens on Collateral, or to enforce the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Instruments may be exercised solely by
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Persons secured or otherwise benefitted thereby. 
 (d) By accepting the benefit of the Liens granted
pursuant to the Security Instruments, each Person secured by such Liens that is not a party hereto agrees to the terms of this Section 11.11. 

  
 111 

 Section 11.12 The Arrangers. No Arranger nor any Syndication Agent shall
have any duties, responsibilities or liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents other than its duties, responsibilities and liabilities in its capacity as a Lender hereunder. 

Section 11.13 Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the
Majority Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner
purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the
Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the
Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid
by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Majority Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon
the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of
the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful
credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle
or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative
Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the
Majority Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving
effect to the limitations on actions by the Majority Lenders contained in Section 12.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured
Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued
by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for
any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall
automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be
cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to 

  
 112 

 
take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause
(ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition
vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid. 

Section 11.14 Certain ERISA Matters. 

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the
date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for
the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations) of one or more Benefit Plans in
connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined
by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a
class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in,
administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI
of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the
Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of
sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or (iv) such
other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. 

(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with
respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further
(x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit
of, the Administrative Agent and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any
Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the Collateral or the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any
Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto). 

  
 113 

 (c) The Administrative Agent, each other Agent and each Arranger hereby informs the Lenders
that each such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated
hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents (ii) may recognize a gain if it
extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or
collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early
termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

 Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have
been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next
business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through Approved Electronic Platforms, to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b). 

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Approved Electronic
Platforms pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II, Article III, Article IV and Article V unless otherwise agreed by
the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it;
provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 

  
 115 

 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other

other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt. 

(e) Posting of Communications. 

(i) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and
the Issuing Banks by posting the Communications on any Approved Electronic Platform. 
 (ii) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and
its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and
the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the
Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such
distribution. Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution. 

(iii) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE
PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE
COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR 

  
 116 

 
STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR
OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY OTHER AGENT, ANY ARRANGER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES
(COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. 

(iv) Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been
posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which
could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing
notice may be sent to such email address. 
 (v) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent
may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and
policies. 
 (vi) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to give any notice or
other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document 
 Section 12.02 Waivers;
Amendments. 
 (a) No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to exercise and no delay in
exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.02(b), and then 

  
 117 

 
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of
a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b) Subject to Section 3.03(b) and the last sentence of this Section 12.02(b), neither this
Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any Security Instrument nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Majority Lenders or by the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Majority Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment or the Maximum Credit Amount of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender,
(ii) increase the Borrowing Base without the written consent of each Lender, decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base without the consent of the Required Lenders, or modify Section 2.07 in any manner without the consent

or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. 

  
 121

 Section 12.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and

transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 12.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 12.04(c)) and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, participations in Letters of Credit and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the
prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of
the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; provided, further that the Borrower shall be deemed to
have consented to any such assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; 

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to an assignee
that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment; 
 (C) the Issuing Bank; and 

(D) the Swingline Lender. 

  
 122 

 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing; 
 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one
Class of Commitments or Loans; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) an
Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment
and Assumption are participants, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and 
 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a
Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more Credit Contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material
non-public information about the Loan Parties and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s
compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. 
 For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b),
the term “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings: 

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing,
holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity
that administers or manages a Lender. 
 “Ineligible Institution” means (a) a natural person,
(b) a Defaulting Lender or its Lender Parent or (c) the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and
recording thereof pursuant to Section 12.04(b)(iv), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such 

  
 123 

 
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02,
Section 5.03 and Section 12.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.04(b) shall
be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.04(c). 

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Maximum Credit Amount of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the
Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In connection with any changes to the Register, if necessary, the Administrative Agent will reflect
the revisions on Annex I and forward a copy of such revised Annex I to the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Lender. 

(v) Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the
extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, the
assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 12.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment
required by Section 12.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the
assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.08(d), Section 2.08(e), Section 2.09(c),
Section 2.05(b), Section 4.02 or Section 12.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information
therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided
in this Section 12.04(b). 
 (c) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the 

  
 124 

 
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to
Section 12.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02 and
Section 5.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.03(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.03(e) shall be delivered to
the participating Lender and the information)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be
subject to the provisions of Section 5.04 as if it were an assignee under Section 12.04(b) and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or
Section 5.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs
after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of
Section 5.04(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were a Lender; provided
that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the
Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of
any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to
establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 12.04(d) shall not apply to any such
pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto. 

  
 125 

 Section 12.05 Survival; Revival; Reinstatement. (a) All covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other
party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any
credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit
is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03,
Section 12.03 and Article XI shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the
Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 

(b) To the extent that any payments on the Obligations or proceeds of any Collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Obligations so satisfied shall be revived and continue as
if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect.
In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrower shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to effect such reinstatement. 

Section 12.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate
letter agreements with respect to (i) fees payable to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the reductions of the LC Commitment of the Issuing Bank constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND
THERETO 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. Except as provided in Section 6.01,
this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 

  
 126 

 (b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy,
emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries
or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may
be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the
Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent. 

Section 12.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or
thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 12.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank and
each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held
and other obligations (of whatsoever kind, including, without limitation, obligations under Swap Agreements) at any time owing, by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether
or not such Lender, the Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of
such Lender or the Issuing Bank different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all
amounts so setoff shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds
and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the
Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided
that the failure to give such notice shall 

  
 127 

 
not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 12.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) which such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 12.10 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only,
are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

Section 12.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority (including
any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 12.11, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or 

  
 129 

 
obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Agreement relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) on a
confidential basis to (1) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein or (2) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and
monitoring of identification numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein, (h) with the consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section 12.11 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of the foregoing Persons on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 12.11, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s businesses,
other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary and other than information pertaining to this Agreement
routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such
information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.11 shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

Section 12.12 Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Lender shall conform strictly to usury
laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose
laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement entered into in connection with or
as security for the Notes, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under any of
the Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Notes shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be
credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event
that the maturity of the Notes is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that
constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such
Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would
thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Lender, be

  
 130 

 
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the stated term of the Loans evidenced by the Notes until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans
hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such
Lender pursuant to this Section 12.12 and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such
Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to
such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this
Section 12.12. 
 Section 12.13 EXCULPATION PROVISIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO SPECIFICALLY AGREES
THAT IT HAS A DUTY TO READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND AGREES THAT IT IS CHARGED WITH NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; THAT IT HAS IN FACT READ THIS AGREEMENT AND IS FULLY INFORMED
AND HAS FULL NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EFFECTS OF THIS AGREEMENT; THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE THROUGHOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS PRECEDING ITS EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND HAS RECEIVED THE ADVICE OF ITS ATTORNEY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT CERTAIN OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS RESULT IN ONE PARTY ASSUMING
THE LIABILITY INHERENT IN SOME ASPECTS OF THE TRANSACTION AND RELIEVING THE OTHER PARTY OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH LIABILITY. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY EXCULPATORY
PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ON THE BASIS THAT THE PARTY HAD NO NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH PROVISION OR THAT THE PROVISION IS NOT “CONSPICUOUS.” 

Section 12.14 Collateral Matters; Swap Agreements; Cash Management Agreements. The benefit of the Security Instruments and of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to any Collateral securing the Obligations shall also extend to and be available to Secured Swap Parties and Secured Cash Management Providers on a pro rata basis (but subject to the terms of the Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, provisions thereof relating to the application and priority of payments to the Persons entitled thereto) in respect of Secured Swap Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations. Except as provided in
Section 12.02(b), no Secured Swap Party or Secured Cash Management Provider shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document as a result of the existence of any Secured Swap Obligation or Secured Cash Management
Obligation owed to it. Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 12.08 or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any
right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent
on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. 

  
 131 

 Section 12.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Loan
Documents, and the agreement of the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue, amend, renew or extend Letters of Credit hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Borrower, and no other Person (including, without limitation, any
Subsidiary of the Borrower, any obligor, contractor, subcontractor, supplier or materialsman) shall have any rights, claims, remedies or privileges hereunder or under any other Loan Document against the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender for any reason whatsoever. There are no third party beneficiaries other than to the extent contemplated by the last sentence of Section 12.04(a). 

Section 12.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA
PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such
Lender to identify the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. 
 Section 12.17 No Fiduciary Duty;
etc. 
 (a) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have
any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Loan
Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person. The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based
on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising the Borrower as to any legal,
tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the
transactions contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto. 

(b) The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with
its Affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may
provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations)
of, the Borrower and other companies with which the Borrower may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such
securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion. 

  
 132 

 (c) In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its
Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrower may have
conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships
with the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. The Borrower also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any
obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies. 

Section 12.18 Flood Insurance Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the
contrary, in no event is any Building (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulation) or Manufactured (Mobile) Home (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulation) included in the definition of “Mortgaged
Property” and no Building or Manufactured (Mobile) Home is hereby encumbered by this Agreement or any other Loan Document. As used herein, “Flood Insurance Regulations” means (a) the National Flood Insurance
Act of 1968 as now or hereafter in effect or any successor statute thereto, (b) the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 as now or hereafter in effect or any successor statute thereto, (c) the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994
(amending 42 USC 4001, et seq.), as the same may be amended or recodified from time to time and (d) the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004 and any regulations promulgated thereunder. 

Section 12.19 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan
Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may
be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any
Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in full or in
part or cancellation of any such liability; 
 (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of
ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with
respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 

  
 133 

 (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the
Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 
 Section 12.20 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.
To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a
“Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable
notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party
to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in
or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the
U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party
or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be
exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the
United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with
respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. 
 Section 12.21 Material Non-Public
Information. 
 (a) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN Section 12.11 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT
MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF
MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL
AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 

  
 134 

 (b) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE
BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOAN PARTIES
AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT
MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.
