 (c) In the event of termination of this Agreement by the Company, if the Company retains a successor
manager, the Manager shall have the option exercisable prior to the effective date of the departure of the Manager to require its successor to purchase its Class A Units and its Class C Units (collectively, the “Combined
Interest”) in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the Combined Interest, such amount to be determined and payable as of the effective date of the Manager’s departure or, if there is no agreement as to the

pursuant to Section 9, including any employee-related liabilities (including severance liabilities) incurred in connection with the termination of any employees employed by the Manager or its Affiliates for the benefit of the Company.

 For purposes of this Section 11.3(c), the fair market value of the Combined Interest shall be determined by agreement between the
Manager and its successor or, failing agreement within 30 days after the effective date of the Manager’s departure, by an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert selected by the Manager and its successor, which, in turn,

mutually select a third independent investment banking firm or independent expert, which third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert shall determine the fair market value of the Combined Interest. In making its

trading, the value of the Company’s consolidated assets, the rights and obligations of the Manager and other factors it may deem relevant. 
 (d) If the Combined Interest is not purchased in the manner set forth in Section 11.3(c), the departing Manager’s Class A Units shall be converted into Common Units on a one-for-one basis and its Class C Units shall be
converted into Common Units pursuant to a valuation made by an investment banking firm or other independent expert selected pursuant to Section 11.3(c). For purposes of this Agreement, conversion of the Combined Interest to Common Units will be
characterized as if the Manager (or its transferee) contributed its Combined Interest to Atlas Energy in exchange for the newly issued Common Units.

 THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of December 28, 2006, among ATP
OIL & GAS CORPORATION, a Texas corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders (as defined in Article I), and CREDIT SUISSE, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative
Agent”) and as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Lenders. 
 The
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the lenders party thereto (the “Existing Lenders”) previously entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 22, 2006, as
amended by Amendment No. 1 and Agreement dated as of November 22, 2006 (as so amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), under which the Existing Lenders extended credit to the Borrower in the form of term
loans in an aggregate principal amount of $900,000,000 (of which $898,687,500 aggregate principal amount (the “Existing Term Loans”) is outstanding immediately prior to the Restatement Date (such term and each other
capitalized term used but not defined in this introductory statement having the meaning given it in Article I)). 
 The Borrower has
requested that the Revolving Credit Lenders agree to extend credit in the form of Revolving Loans at any time and from time to time prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess
of $50,000,000. The Borrower has requested the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit, in an aggregate face amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $50,000,000, to support payment obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business by
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans are to be used solely for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. 
 The Revolving Credit Lenders are willing to extend such credit to the Borrower, and the Issuing Bank is willing to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, in each case on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein. 
 The Borrower and the Lenders desire to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in the form hereof to,
among other things, set forth the terms and conditions under which the Revolving Credit Lenders and Issuing Bank will make Revolving Loans and issue Letters of Credit, respectively, to the Borrower. 
 The amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement evidenced by this Agreement shall become effective as provided in the Amendment Agreement.

 Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I

 SECTION 1.01. Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall 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, are
bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate. 
 “Adjusted LIBO Rate” shall mean,
with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum equal to the product of (a) the LIBO Rate in effect for such Interest Period and (b) Statutory Reserves. 
 “Administrative Agent” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the preamble to this Agreement. 
 “Administrative Agent Fees” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.05(b). 
 “Administrative Questionnaire” shall mean an Administrative Questionnaire in the form of Exhibit A, or such other form as

If the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate for any
reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (b) of the
preceding sentence until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate 

  

 2 

 
Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate or
the Federal Funds Effective Rate, as the case may be. 
 “Amendment Agreement” shall mean the Amendment No. 2
and Agreement dated as of December 28, 2006, effecting, among other things, the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement.

listed on Schedule 1.01(a) or (d) any other person that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

Coverage Ratios” shall mean the Reserve Coverage Ratio and the PDP Coverage Ratio. 
 “Asset Sale” shall
mean the sale, transfer or other disposition (by way of merger, casualty, condemnation or otherwise) by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries to any person other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor of (a) any Equity Interests of any

Permitted Investments, in each case disposed of or made in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) dispositions between or among Foreign Subsidiaries), provided that (x) any asset sale or series of related asset sales described in
clause (b) above having a value not in excess of $500,000 and (y) any asset sale entered into by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in the good faith exercise of its business judgment, involving the sale, transfer or other disposition by the
Borrower or such Subsidiary of Hydrocarbon Interests in exchange for a commitment of the transferee to bear a disproportionate share of the costs attributable to the Oil and Gas Properties to which such Hydrocarbon Interests relate, shall be deemed
not to be an “Asset Sale” for purposes of this Agreement.

excluding in each case any such expenditure made to restore, replace or rebuild property to the condition of such property immediately prior to any damage, loss, destruction or condemnation of such property, to the extent such expenditure is made
with insurance proceeds, condemnation awards or damage recovery proceeds relating to any such damage, loss, destruction or condemnation. 
 “Capital Lease Obligations” of any person shall mean the obligations of such person to pay rent or other amounts under any lease of (or other arrangement conveying the right to use) real or personal property, or a
combination thereof, which obligations are required to be classified and accounted for as capital leases on a balance sheet of such person under GAAP, and the amount of such obligations shall be the capitalized amount thereof determined in
accordance with GAAP. 
 A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if (a) any “person” or

effect at such time. The initial Total Revolving Credit Commitment is $50,000,000.

related definition to eliminate the effect of any change in GAAP occurring after the date of this Agreement on the operation of such covenant (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders wish to amend Article VI or
any related definition for such purpose), then the Borrower’s compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is
withdrawn or such covenant is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Borrower and the Required Lenders. 
 SECTION 1.03. Pro Forma

 ARTICLE II 
 The Credits 
 SECTION 2.01.
Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, each Revolving Credit Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Revolving Loans to
the Borrower, at any time and from time to time on or after the Restatement Date, and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms
hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits set forth in the preceding
sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed. 
 SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan has been or shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), the Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate
principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments. 
 (b) Subject to Sections 2.02(f), 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may
request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect
the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to
request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than six Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same
date, shall be considered separate Borrowings. 
  

 29 

 (c) Except with respect to Loans made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), each Lender shall make each Loan
to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date, and
the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified
shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.
If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of
the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, (A) for the first two days following the date such amount is made available to the Borrower, a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) and (B) thereafter, at the Alternate Base Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the
Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date. 
 (f) If the Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made by
Section 2.23(e) within the time specified in such Section, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such L/C
Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such
Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such
Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that (i) if the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Article IV have been satisfied, such amount shall be deemed to
constitute an ABR Revolving Loan of such Lender and, to the extent of such payment, the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced with the resulting ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing, and
(ii) if such conditions precedent to borrowing have not been satisfied, then any such amount paid by any 

  

 30 

 
Revolving Credit Lender shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement), and the
Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.23(e) prior to the time that any Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to
the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the
Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the
date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and
(ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate. 
 SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f), as to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply), the Borrower shall notify
the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR
Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax to the
Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Term Borrowing or a Revolving Credit Borrowing, and whether such Borrowing is to be a
Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and
(v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply
with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing
is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this
Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.04. Evidence of
Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (i) the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11 and
(ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. 
  

 31 

 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing
the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof
and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by
the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries
made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender
or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. 
 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to
such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any
Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more
promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns. 
 SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to
pay to each Revolving Credit Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be
terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to the amount shown in the table below per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the preceding
quarter (or other period commencing with the Restatement Date or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the non-refundable
administration fees set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”). 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the
Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) calculated on such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate L/C Exposure (excluding the
portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which all Letters of Credit have been
canceled or have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall have been terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings
comprised of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.06, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit the fronting, issuance and drawing fees customary with respect to letters of credit specified from time to time by
the Issuing Bank (the “Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. 
 (d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among
the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank. Absent manifest error in the calculation of any Fee paid, once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. 
 SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear
interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times and
calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage. 
 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The
applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or any
other amount due hereunder, by acceleration or 

  

 33 

 
otherwise, or under any other Loan Document, then, until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, to the extent permitted by law, all amounts
outstanding under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (a) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06
plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a
year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2.00% per annum. 
 SECTION 2.08.
Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that dollar deposits
in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any
Lender of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax
notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,
any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Revolving Credit Commitments shall
automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The L/C Commitment shall automatically terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the date 30 days prior to the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date. 
 (b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit
Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at the
time. 
 (c) Each reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in
accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the Commitment Fees on the amount of the
Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction. 
 SECTION 2.10.
Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 

  

 34 

 
12:00 (noon), New York City time, (a) one Business Day prior thereto, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) three
Business Days prior thereto, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) three Business Days prior thereto, to convert the
Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following: 
 (i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing; 
 (ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing
shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type; 
 (iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new
Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be
paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion; 
 (iv) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16; 
 (v) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing; 
 (vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the
immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing; 
 (vii) no Interest Period may be selected for any Eurodollar Term Borrowing that would end later than a Repayment Date occurring on or after the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to such
selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the Eurodollar Term Borrowings with Interest Periods ending on or prior to such Repayment Date and (B) the ABR Term Borrowings would not be at least equal to the principal amount of Term
Borrowings to be paid on such Repayment Date; and 
 (viii) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at
the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan. 
 Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the
Borrowing that the Borrower requests 

  

 35 

 
be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if
such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest
Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise
the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any
Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid
pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued into an ABR Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.11. Repayment of Term Borrowings.
(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the dates set forth below, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day (each such date being called a
“Repayment Date”), a principal amount of the Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.11(b), 2.12 and 2.13(f)) equal to the amount set forth below for such date, together in each case with accrued
and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment:

 (b) In the event and on each occasion that the Term Loan Commitments shall be reduced or shall
expire or terminate other than as a result of the making of a Term Loan, the installments payable on each Repayment Date shall be reduced pro rata by an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such reduction, expiration or termination. 

(c) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date, together with accrued and unpaid
interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment. 
  

 36 

 (d) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall
otherwise be without premium or penalty. 
 SECTION 2.12. Optional Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time
and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment to the Administrative Agent
before 12:00 (noon), New York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. 
 (b) Optional prepayments of Term Loans at any time during the applicable periods set forth in this Section 2.12(b) shall be accompanied by a payment
of a prepayment fee in an amount (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Loans to be repaid) equal to (i) 1.00%, if such prepayment occurs on or prior to the date that is six months after the Prior Restatement Date, and
(ii) 0.50%, if such prepayment occurs after the date that is six months after the Prior Restatement Date, but on or prior to the first anniversary of the Prior Restatement Date. 
 (c) Optional prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied pro rata against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term
Loans under Section 2.11. 
 (d) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing
(or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to
Section 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty, except as provided in Section 2.12(b). All prepayments under this Section 2.12 (other than prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination
or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment. 
 SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall, on the
date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings and replace or cause to be canceled (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank with respect to) all outstanding
Letters of Credit. If, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or at any other time, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrower shall, on the
date of such reduction or at such other time, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings and, after the Revolving Credit Borrowings shall have been repaid or prepaid in full, replace or cause to be canceled (or make other arrangements satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank with respect to) Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 
 (b)
Not later than the third Business Day following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with
Section 2.13(f). 
  

 37 

 (c) In the event and on each occasion that an Equity Issuance occurs, the Borrower shall, substantially
simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the occurrence of such Equity Issuance, apply 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with
Section 2.13(f); provided, however, that if at the time of such Equity Issuance the Leverage Ratio (after giving effect to such Equity Issuance and the proposed use of the proceeds thereof) would be less than 2.5 to 1.0, then the
amount required to be so applied shall be reduced to 25% of such Net Cash Proceeds. 
 (d) No later than the earlier of (i) 90 days
after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2006, and (ii) the date on which the financial statements with respect to such period are delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(a),
the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(f) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 75% of Excess Cash Flow in excess of $5,000,000 for the fiscal year then ended; provided, however, that in the
event the Leverage Ratio at the end of such fiscal year was less than 2.5 to 1.0, then such amount shall be reduced to 50% of such Excess Cash Flow in excess of $5,000,000. 
 (e) In the event that any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness for money
borrowed or consisting of Disqualified Capital Stock of any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party (other than Indebtedness for money borrowed or consisting of Disqualified Capital Stock permitted pursuant to Section 6.01), the Borrower
shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such Loan Party or such subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to
prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(f). 
 (f) Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Term Loans under this
Agreement shall be applied pro rata against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans under Section 2.11. All such mandatory prepayments shall be applied to all Term Loans outstanding on the date of
prepayment on a pro rata basis. 
 (g) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under
this Section 2.13, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three days prior
written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this
Section 2.13 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. 
 (h) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Lender may elect, by written notice to the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days prior to the applicable prepayment date (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent), to decline all (but not less
than all) of any mandatory prepayment of its Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13 (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”). Any Declined Proceeds shall be offered to the Lenders not so declining such prepayment
(with such Lenders having the right to decline any prepayment with Declined Proceeds in the same manner provided for in the previous sentence). To the 

  

 38 

 
extent such Lenders elect to decline their pro rata shares of such Declined Proceeds, such remaining Declined Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with
the mandatory prepayment provisions of the Second Lien Facility Documents. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall limit the Borrower’s ability to make optional prepayments in accordance with
Section 2.12. 
 SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or the Issuing Bank (except any
such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any
Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or increase the cost to any Lender of issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each case,
by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Bank to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have
determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy 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 or participations in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank pursuant hereto 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) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall 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. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its
holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on
any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the
Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to 

  

 39 

 
demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender or the Issuing Bank under
paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender or the Issuing Bank knew or could reasonably have been
expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided
further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each
Lender and the Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed. 
 SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give
effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent: 
 (i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender
hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar
Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a
Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and 
 (ii)
such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in
paragraph (b) below. 
 In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal
that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or
resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans. 
 (b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any
Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the
Borrower. 
 SECTION 2.16. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender sustains
or incurs as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal
of any 

 40 

 
Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion
of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made
pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage
Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender,
of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for
such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts
which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.15 and in respect of any election made pursuant to Section 2.13(h), each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any
Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each payment of any prepayment fee, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or
continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the
respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of
such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount. 
 SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it
shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or
interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan
or Loans or L/C Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements
of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans and L/C Exposure of such other Lender, so
that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and L/C Exposure and participations in Loans and L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure then
outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans and L/C Exposure prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of
banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; 

  

 41 

 
provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment
giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents
to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all
moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 SECTION 2.19. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other
Loan Document not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment (other than Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the
Issuing Bank) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010. 
 (b) Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not
a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable. 
 SECTION 2.20. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, such Lender or
Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall
pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall
pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with 

  

 42 

 
respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a
Governmental Authority, the Borrower 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) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate. 
 SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments or Loans Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate.
(a) In the event (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20 or (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment,
waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required
Lenders, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and the Administrative
Agent, require such Lender or the Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, in
the case of clause (iv) above, all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification) to an assignee that shall assume
such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, of the Issuing Bank), which consents shall not unreasonably be
withheld, and (z) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or the Issuing Bank in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the
outstanding Loans or L/C Disbursements of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, respectively, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under
Section 2.14 and Section 2.16 and, if applicable, the prepayment 

  

 43 

 
fee pursuant to Section 2.12(b) (with such assignment being deemed to be an optional prepayment for purposes of determining the applicability of
Section 2.12(b))); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or notice
under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or the Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on
capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant
to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall
waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall
not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such
Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.21(a). 
 (b) If (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a
notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20,
then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or the Issuing Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal
policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and
delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to
Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the Issuing Bank in connection with any
such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer. 
 SECTION 2.22. Application of Prepayment by Type of Term Loans. (a) In
connection with any voluntary prepayments by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.12, the amount thereof shall be applied first to ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Loans, in each case in a manner that
minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16. 
 (b) In connection with any
mandatory prepayments by the Borrower of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13, the amount thereof shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Term Loans being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are
ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans; provided that if no Lenders exercise the right to waive a given mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(h), then, with respect to such 

  

 44 

 
mandatory prepayment, the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to Term Loans that are ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before
application to Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16. 
 SECTION 2.23. Letters of Credit. (a) General. The Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit for its own
account or for the account of any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries (in which case the Borrower and such wholly owned Subsidiary shall be co-applicants with respect to such Letter of Credit), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time while the L/C Commitment remains in effect. This Section shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon the Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. In
order to request the issuance of Letters of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend any existing Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or fax to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such
Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit.
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 such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (i) the L/C Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. 
 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date one year after the date
of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date; provided, however, that a Letter
of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date) unless the Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days (or such longer period as may be specified in such Letter of Credit) prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of
Credit will not be renewed. 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any further action
on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving
Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the 

  

 45 

 
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not
reimbursed by the Borrower (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(f). Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event
of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (e)
Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than two hours after the
Borrower shall have received notice from the Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made, or, if the Borrower shall have received such notice later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, not later than
10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The
Borrower’s obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above 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 or any
Loan Document, or any term or provision therein; 
 (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or
any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document; 
 (iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or
other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction; 
 (iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
 (v) 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; and 
 (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that
might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute
and unconditional obligation of the Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. However, 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 consequential 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 gross negligence or wilful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. It is further understood and agreed that the Issuing Bank may accept
documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit (i) the Issuing Bank’s
exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the
beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any
other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial
respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. 
 (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to
represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by fax, to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing
Bank has made or will make an L/C 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 Revolving Credit Lenders with
respect to any such L/C Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect
of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of the Issuing Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C
Disbursement to but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by the Borrower or the date on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(f), at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if such amount
were an ABR Revolving Loan. 
 (i) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may resign at any time by
giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrower, and may be removed at any time by the Borrower by notice to the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving
Credit Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a Revolving Credit Lender that shall agree to serve as successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights
and obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank. At the time such removal or 

 47 

 
resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii). The acceptance of any
appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Revolving Credit Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the
effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Revolving Credit Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the
other Loan Documents 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 Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal
of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit
issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 
 (j) Cash
Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Borrower shall, on the Business Day it receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) thereof and of the amount to be deposited, deposit in
an account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the L/C Exposure as of such date. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of
the Obligations. The Collateral 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 in Permitted Investments, which
investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall
(i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the
L/C Exposure at such time and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate
undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, 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. 
 (k) Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and
such Revolving Credit Lender, designate one or more additional Revolving Credit Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Revolving Credit Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (k) shall
be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Revolving Credit Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the
other Issuing Bank and such Revolving Credit Lender.

acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than any Lien created hereunder or under the Security Documents). 
 SECTION 3.03.
Enforceability. The Amendment Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor and constitutes, and this Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and delivered by each Loan
Party party thereto will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms. 
 SECTION 3.04. Governmental Approvals. No action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental Authority is or will be required in connection with the Transactions,

 49 

 
and cash flows as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, audited by and accompanied by the unqualified opinion of Deloitte &
Touche LLP, independent public accountants. Such financial statements present fairly the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods. Such
balance sheets and the notes thereto disclose all material liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof. Such financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a
consistent basis. 
 SECTION 3.06. No Material Adverse Change. No event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or could
reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, since December 31, 2005. 
 SECTION 3.07. Title to Properties; Possession Under Leases. (a) Other than the Oil and Gas Properties (which are the subject of
paragraph (b) below), the Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its material properties and assets, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability
to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes. All such material properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02.

 (b) The Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all of the Oil and Gas Properties included in the most
recent Reserve Report delivered pursuant to 5.04(d) free from all Liens, claims and title imperfections, except for (i) such imperfections of title as do not in the aggregate detract from the value thereof to, or the use thereof in, the
business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in any material respect, (ii) Oil and Gas Properties disposed of since the date of the most recent Reserve Report as permitted by Section 6.05, and (iii) Liens expressly permitted by

in such Oil and Gas Properties as of the date of such Reserve Report and are or will be complete and accurate in all material respects as of the date of such Reserve Report; and there are no “back-in” or “reversionary” interests
held by third parties which could reduce the interest of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries in such Oil and Gas Properties in any material respect, except as expressly set forth or given effect to in such Reserve Report. 
 (c) Each of the Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries has complied with all obligations under all licenses, leases and term mineral interests in the Oil
and Gas Properties and all such licenses, leases and term mineral interests are valid, subsisting and in full force and effect, and neither the Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries has knowledge that a default exists under any of the terms or
provisions, express or implied, of any of such licenses, leases or interests or under any agreement to which the same are subject, except to the extent any inaccuracy in the foregoing could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. All of the Oil and Gas Contracts and obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries that relate to the Oil and Gas Properties are in full force and effect and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries party thereto, except to the extent any inaccuracy in the foregoing could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the 

  

 50 

 
Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, any other party to any licenses, leases or term mineral
interests in the Oil and Gas Properties or any Oil and Gas Contract (i) is in breach of or default, or with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would be in breach or default, with respect to any obligations thereunder, whether
express or implied, except such that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) has given or threatened to give notice of any default under or inquiry into any possible default under, or action to alter,

contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting the Mortgaged Properties or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation.

 SECTION 3.08. Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.08 sets forth as of the Prior Restatement Date a list of all Subsidiaries and the percentage ownership
interest of the Borrower therein. The shares of capital stock or other ownership interests so indicated on Schedule 3.08 are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Borrower, directly or indirectly, free and clear of all Liens (other than
Liens created under the Security Documents). 
 SECTION 3.09. Litigation; Compliance with Laws. (a) Except as set forth on
Schedule 3.09, there are not any actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any
business, property or rights of any such person (i) that involve any Loan Document or the Transactions or (ii) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) Neither of the Borrower nor any of the
Subsidiaries or any of their respective material properties or assets is in violation of, nor will the continued operation of their material properties and assets as currently conducted violate, any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Oil and

 SECTION 3.10. Agreements. (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10, none of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries is a party to any
agreement or instrument or subject to any corporate restriction that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 51 

 (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10, none of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries is in default
in any manner under any provision of any indenture or other agreement or instrument evidencing Indebtedness, or any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are or may be bound,
where such default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

be paid all taxes due and payable by it and all assessments received by it, except taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, shall have set aside on its
books adequate reserves. 
 SECTION 3.15. No Material Misstatements. None of (a) the Confidential Information Memorandum or
(b) any other information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of any Loan Document or included therein or
delivered pursuant thereto contained, contains or will contain any material misstatement of fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were, are or will be made, not misleading; provided that to the extent any such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, the Borrower represents only that it acted
in good faith and utilized reasonable assumptions and due care in the preparation of such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule. 
 SECTION 3.16. Employee Benefit Plans. Each of the Borrower and each of its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and

its 

  

 52 

 
ERISA Affiliates. The present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount that is material, and the present value of all benefit liabilities of all
underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used to fund such plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation dates applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans by an amount that is material.

 SECTION 3.17. Environmental Matters. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.17 and except with respect to any other matters that,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, none of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with

correct description of all insurance maintained by the Borrower or by the Borrower for its Subsidiaries as of the Prior Restatement Date. As of such date, such insurance is in full force and effect and all premiums have been duly paid. The Borrower
and its Subsidiaries have insurance in such amounts and covering such risks and liabilities as are in accordance with normal industry practice. 
 SECTION 3.19. Security Documents. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement creates in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the
Collateral (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) and the proceeds thereof and (i) with respect to all Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) previously delivered to and in possession of the
Collateral Agent, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement constitutes, or in the case of Pledged Collateral to be delivered to the Collateral Agent in the future, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement will constitute, a fully perfected first
priority Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Pledged Collateral, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person, and (ii) together with the financing statements previously
filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.19(a), the Lien created under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement constitutes a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral
(other than Intellectual Property, as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other person, other than with respect to Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02. 
 (b) The filing made pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement currently on file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, together
with the financing statements previously filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.19(a), constitutes a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Intellectual Property (as defined
in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in which a security interest may be perfected by filing in the United States and its territories and possessions, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person (it being understood that
subsequent recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a Lien on registered trademarks, trademark applications and copyrights acquired by the Loan Parties after the
date hereof). 
  

 53 

 (c) The Mortgages are effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of
the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on all of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property thereunder and the proceeds thereof, and when the modifications to the Mortgages referred to in
Section 3.04(a) are recorded in the offices specified on Schedule 3.19(c), the Mortgages shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Mortgaged Property and the
proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person, other than with respect to the rights of persons pursuant to Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02.

the Foreign Pledged Collateral, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person, other than with respect to Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02. 
 SECTION 3.20. Location of Oil and Gas Properties, Real Property and Leased Premises. (a) Schedule 3.20(a) lists completely and correctly as of the Prior Restatement Date all Oil and Gas Properties of the
Borrower and the Subsidiaries and the location and a property description thereof. 
 (b) Schedule 3.20(b) lists completely and
correctly as of the Prior Restatement Date all real property (other than Oil and Gas Properties) owned by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and the addresses thereof. The Borrower and the Subsidiaries own in fee all the real property set forth on
Schedule 3.20(b). 
 (c) Schedule 3.20(c) lists completely and correctly as of the Prior Restatement Date all real property (other

 SECTION 3.21. Future Commitments. As of the Restatement Date, on a net basis there are no material gas imbalances, take-or-pay or other
prepayments with respect to any Oil and Gas Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that would require the Borrower or any Subsidiary to deliver Hydrocarbons produced from Oil and Gas Properties at some future time without then or thereafter
receiving full payment therefor.

Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or such
Subsidiary. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound.

 SECTION 3.23. Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Restatement Date and immediately
following the making of each Loan and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, at a fair valuation, will exceed their debts and liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, taken as a whole; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Loan Parties will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of their debts and other
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Loan Parties taken as a whole will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise,
as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) the Loan Parties will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to
be conducted following the Restatement Date.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent 
 Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred
to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions
and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the
Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents. 
 The bank serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder. 
  

 73 

 Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty
to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for
the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither
Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and
neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness
or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to
be delivered to such Agent. 
 Each 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. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each 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. 
 Each 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 it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities as well as activities as Agent. 
 Subject to the appointment and
acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives 

  

 74 

 
notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with
an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 acting as Agent. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agents 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. Each Lender also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents 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 or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower and the Issuing Bank to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent
shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).

 (f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more
banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under
this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the benefit
of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such
participant) and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and
such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans or L/C Disbursements owing to it and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments,
modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans,
increasing or extending the Commitments or releasing any Guarantor (other than in connection with a transaction permitted hereunder) or all or substantially all of the Collateral). 
 (g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this
Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of
information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve
the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16. 
  

 78 

 (h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant
to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of
any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects
not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of
the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which
shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full
of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings
under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing
liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper
dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
 (j) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate
any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. 
 (k) In the event that any Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender or S&P, Moody’s and Thompson’s BankWatch (or
InsuranceWatch Ratings Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance companies (or Best’s Insurance Reports, if such insurance company is not rated by Insurance Watch Ratings Service)) shall, after the date that any Lender becomes a
Revolving Credit Lender, downgrade the long-term certificate deposit ratings of such Lender, and the resulting ratings shall be below BBB-, Baa3 and C (or BB, in the case of a Lender that is an insurance company (or B, in the case of an insurance
company not rated by InsuranceWatch Ratings Service)) (or, with respect to any Revolving Credit Lender that is not rated by any such ratings service or provider, the Issuing Bank shall have reasonably determined that there has occurred a material
adverse change in the financial condition of any such Lender, or a material impairment of the ability of any such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, as compared 

  

 79 

 
to such condition or ability as of the date that any such Lender became a Revolving Credit Lender) then the Issuing Bank shall have the right, but not the
obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Lender with an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above), and such Lender hereby
agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above) all its interests, rights and obligations in respect of its Revolving Credit Commitment to such assignee;
provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule and regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii) the Issuing Bank or such assignee, as the case may be, shall pay to such Lender
in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Lender’s account or owed to it
hereunder. 
 SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Issuing Bank in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any
amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in connection
with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath,
Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or any Lender. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, the
Issuing Bank and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby
(including the syndication of the Credit Facilities), (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any
Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous
Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to
any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 
  

 80 

 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or
related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined
based upon its share of the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time. 
 (d)
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and it hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this
Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand
therefor. 
 SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited 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 indebtedness at any time owing by
such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not
such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
 SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
(OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO THE EXTENT THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION MANDATORILY GOVERN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICES FOR DOCUMENTARY
CREDITS MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED AND IN EFFECT, ON THE DATE SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT WAS ISSUED, BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (THE “UNIFORM CUSTOMS”) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK. 
  

 81 

 SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment
or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral 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 or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date
for the payment of any interest on any Loan or any date for reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement, or waive or excuse the
payment of (or extend the date for payment of) any prepayment fee, or reduce the amount thereof, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease or extend the
date for payment of any Fees to any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17, the provisions of Section 9.04(j) or the provisions of this Section, or
release any Guarantor (other than in connection with a transaction permitted hereunder) or all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner
that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority
in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class, (v) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(i) without the written consent of such SPC or
(vi) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit
pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Credit Commitments on the date hereof); provided further that no such agreement
shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or the Issuing Bank. 
  

 82 

 SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any
time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any L/C Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or participation in such L/C Disbursement under applicable law
(collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or
participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful,
the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in
respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have
been received by such Lender. 
 SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan
Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder (including any
Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any rights, remedies,
obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION 9.11. 
 SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any
other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being
understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 SECTION 9.13. [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 SECTION 9.14. 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 are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.15.
Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of
America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any
right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the
courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and
effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this
Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law; provided that notice of the use of any such alternative means of service shall be provided to each affected party in the
manner provided in Section 9.01. 
 SECTION 9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral 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’ officers, directors, 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 regulatory authority or quasi-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) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or 

  

 84 

 
proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same
as those of this Section 9.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of the Borrower or (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other
than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower and related to the Borrower or its business, other than any such
information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of Information received from the
Borrower 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 9.16 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 its own confidential information. 
 SECTION 9.17. USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any 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, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will
allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. 
 SECTION
9.18. Parallel Debt. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and solely for the purpose of ensuring and preserving the validity and effect of the security rights granted and
to be granted under or pursuant to the Security Documents governed by the laws of The Netherlands (the “Dutch Security Agreements”), each of the Lenders and the other parties hereto hereby acknowledges and consents to
(i) each Loan Party that is party to the Dutch Security Agreements undertaking herein to pay to the Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity and not as agent, representative or trustee, as a separate independent obligation to the Collateral
Agent, the amount of its Dutch Parallel Debt (which each such Loan Party hereby so undertakes to do), and (ii) the security rights contemplated by the Dutch Security Agreements being granted in favor of the Collateral Agent in its individual
capacity as security for its claims under the Dutch Parallel Debt. 
 (b) Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it may not pay its
Dutch Parallel Debt other than at the instruction of, and in the manner instructed by, the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that no Loan Party shall be obligated to pay any amount of its Dutch Parallel Debt unless and until a
corresponding amount of its Underlying Debt Obligations shall have become due and payable. 
 (c) To the extent any amount is paid to and
received by the Collateral Agent in payment of the Dutch Parallel Debt and the Collateral Agent has turned over any amounts received by it in respect to the Dutch Parallel Debt to the Lenders as their interests appeared with respect to the
Underlying Debt Obligations, the total amount due and payable in respect of the Underlying Debt Obligations shall be decreased as if such amount were received by the Lenders or any of them in payment of the corresponding Underlying Debt Obligations.

  

 85 

 SECTION 9.19. Effect of Restatement. This Agreement shall, except as otherwise expressly set forth
herein, supersede the Existing Credit Agreement from and after the Restatement Date with respect to the Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the Restatement Date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree, however, that
(a) this Agreement and all other Loan Documents executed and delivered herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing or termination of the Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as in
effect prior to the Restatement Date, (b) such Obligations are in all respects continuing with only the terms being modified as provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (c) the liens and security interests in favor of the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties securing payment of such Obligations are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect with respect to all Obligations (except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Amendment
Agreement) and (d) all references in the other Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer without further amendment to this Agreement.
