Name. The name of the Company shall be Piceance Energy, LLC. 

Certificate of Formation. As recited in Section 2.1(a), Laramie caused a certificate of formation that complies
with the requirements of the Act to be properly filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Sole Manager shall execute such further documents (including amendments to the certificate of formation) and take such further action as shall be
appropriate or necessary to comply with the requirements of Law for the formation, qualification or operation of a limited liability company in all states and counties where the Company may conduct its business. 

Registered Office and Agent; Principal Place of Business. The location of the registered office of the Company and the
Company’s registered agent at such address shall initially be 1512 Larimer Street, Suite 1000, Denver, Colorado 80202, and shall be subject to change as determined by the Sole Manager. The location of the principal place of business of the

 Purpose. The business of the Company shall be to i) own the oil and gas, surface real estate, and related assets formerly owned by each of Laramie and Delta in Garfield and Mesa Counties,

attached hereto. Upon the admission of additional or substituted Members in accordance with this Agreement, the Sole Manager shall update Exhibit A attached hereto to reflect the then current ownership of Units. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the update by the Sole Manager of Exhibit A pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall not be considered an amendment to this Agreement. Each Member will have one vote for each Unit held by such Member with respect to any
vote of the Members. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or this Agreement, the affirmative vote of 51% of the then-outstanding Units shall constitute approval of any matter submitted to a vote of the Members. 

Authorized Units; Issuance of Additional Membership Interests. The Membership Interests authorized to be issued by the
Company shall be denominated in units (each, a “Unit”). As of the Effective Date, the Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 Units. Subject to the 

  
 7 

 
provisions of Sections 5.6(c) and 5.17 the Sole Manager may from time to time ii) increase or decrease (but not below the total number of then outstanding Units) the total number of Units that
the Company is authorized to issue and the number of Units constituting any class or series of Units, iii) authorize the issuance of additional classes or series of Units and fix and determine the designation and the relative rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed on such additional classes and series of Units (including the rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to or have preference over the rights, preferences or privileges of any then
outstanding or authorized class or series of Units) and iv) amend or restate this Agreement as necessary to effect any or all of the foregoing. Additional Units may be issued for such Capital Contributions as shall be approved in accordance with
Article III and Sections 5.6(c) and 5.17. If the issuance of additional Units has been properly approved in accordance with this Agreement, the Persons to whom such additional Units have been issued shall automatically be
admitted to the Company as Members with respect to such additional Units, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the requirements set forth in Sections 11.6 and 11.7. 

Term. The Company shall have perpetual existence; provided, that the Company shall be dissolved upon the occurrence
of an event set forth in Section 12.2. 
 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS 

Initial Capital Contributions. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the initial Members
is making the initial Capital Contribution to the Company, and receiving the Units, described opposite its respective name on Exhibit A attached hereto. Initial Capital Contributions of additional Members shall be governed by
Section 2.7. 
 Additional Capital Contributions. 

Upon a written capital call by the Sole Manager provided at least 30 days’ prior to the Capital Contribution being due, each Member
shall make additional Capital Contributions (i) up to aggregate combined Capital Contributions after the Effective Date of $60,000,000, if approved by a majority of the Board, (ii) in connection with additional Capital Contributions
unanimously approved by the Board as provided in Section 5.6(c), or (iii) in connection with a Company Opportunity unanimously approved by the Board as provided in Section 5.17. Except as provided in this
Section 3.2 and subject to the provisions of Section 5.6 (insofar as not limiting the express provisions of the first sentence of this Section 3.2(a)) and Section 5.17, or in connection with the
issuance of additional Membership Interests as provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have any right or obligation to make additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Company. Obligations to make additional Capital Contributions shall be
borne by the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Sharing Ratios. 
 The Sole Manager is obligated to offer
Units to the Members on a pro rata basis, based on the Members’ Sharing Ratios, before offering Units to or accepting an offer to purchase Units from any other Person. Upon determination to seek additional Capital Contributions or upon a third
party’s offer to purchase Units from the Company, the Sole Manager shall deliver to the Members a Notice of Additional Capital Contributions at least thirty days in advance of the time such additional Capital Contributions are required to be
made to the Company. The Notice 

  
 8 

 
of Additional Capital Contributions shall set forth the amount of additional Capital Contributions sought, each Member’s pro rata portion of such amount, and the date by which such Capital
Contribution is to be made. Each Member shall notify the Sole Manager within 10 days after delivery of the Notice of Additional Capital Contributions whether such Member elects to make its applicable Capital Contribution. If a Member delivers notice
to the Sole Manager that it will not make the additional Capital Contribution or if the Member has not indicated an intent to make the additional Capital Contribution by expiration of the initial 10-day period from the delivery of the Notice of
Additional Contributions, the Sole Manager shall give the other Member written notice of the uncommitted portion of the additional Capital Contribution sought and permit such other Member an additional ten days to commit to pay the uncommitted
portion of the additional Capital Contributions. If the other Member declines or fails to respond during the ten-day period, then the Sole Manager may, for the 90-day period following such other Member’s determination or failure to respond,
offer to other Persons the opportunity to make the remaining uncommitted Capital Contribution, on the same terms as were available to the Members. 
 Any additional Capital Contribution that a Member is required or elects to make shall be made to the Company in immediately available funds on or before the date specified in the applicable notice (which
date shall not be less than 30 days prior to the delivery of such notice). 
 The provisions of this Section 3.2
shall not apply in the context of the sale of the Company or other comparable transaction. 
 No Third Party Right to
Enforce. No Person other than a Member shall have the right to enforce any obligation of a Member to contribute capital hereunder and specifically no lender or other third party shall have any such rights. 

Return of Contributions. No Member shall be entitled to the return of any part of its Capital Contributions or to be paid
interest in respect of either its Capital Account or its Capital Contributions. No unrepaid Capital Contribution shall constitute a liability of the Company, the Sole Manager or any Member. A Member is not required to contribute or to lend cash or
property to the Company to enable the Company to return any Member’s Capital Contributions. The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall not limit a Member’s rights under Article XII. 

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 
 General Representations and Warranties. Each Member represents and warrants to the Sole Manager, the other Members and the Company as follows: 

It is the type of legal entity specified in Exhibit A of this Agreement, duly organized and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization and is qualified to do business and is in good standing in those jurisdictions where necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement;

its Affiliates is a party or which is binding upon it or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their assets.

 Duties. 

The Sole Manager, each Board Member and each officer of the Company shall carry out his or its duties in good faith in a manner
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company. The Sole Manager and each Board Member shall devote such time to the business and affairs of the Company as he or it may determine, in his or its reasonable discretion, is necessary for
the efficient carrying on of the Company’s business. To the extent permitted by the Act, neither the Sole Manager, any Board Member nor any Company officer shall have any fiduciary duties to the Company, and, subject to the preceding sentence,
the Sole Manager’s, Board Members’ and officers’ duties and liabilities are restricted by the provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any such provisions restrict the duties and liabilities of the Sole Manager and officers
otherwise existing at law or in equity. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in the Act to the contrary, but subject
to Section 5.8(a), a person, in performing his duties and obligations as a Board Member under this Agreement, shall be entitled to act or omit to act at the direction of the Member(s) that designated such person to serve on the Board of
Managers, considering only such factors, including the separate interests of the designating Member(s), as such Board Member or Member(s) choose to consider, and any action of a Board Member or failure to act, taken or omitted in good faith reliance
on the foregoing provisions shall not, as between the Company and the other Member(s), on the one hand, and the Board Member or Member(s) designating such Board Member, on the other hand, constitute a breach of any duty (including any fiduciary or
other similar duty, to the extent such exists under the Act or any other applicable law, rule or regulation) on the part of such Board Member or Member(s) to the Company or any other Board Member or Member of the Company. 

The Members (and the Members on behalf of the Company) hereby: 

agree that (A) the terms of this Section 5.8, to the extent that they modify or limit a duty or other
obligation, if any, that a Board Member may have to the Company or any another Member under the Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation, are reasonable in form, scope and content; and (B) the terms of this Section shall control to the
fullest extent possible if it is in conflict with a duty, if any, that a Board Member may have to the Company or another Member, under the Act or any other applicable law, rule or regulation; and 

waive any duty or other obligation, if any, that a Member may have to the Company or another Member, pursuant to the Act
or any other applicable law, rule or regulation, to the extent necessary to give effect to the terms of this Section 5.8. 
 The Members, on behalf of the Company, acknowledge, affirm and agree that (i) the Members would not be willing to make an investment in the Company, and no person designated by any of the Members to
serve on the Board of Managers would be willing to so serve, in the absence of this Section 5.8, and (ii) they have reviewed and understand the provisions of §§18-1101(b) and (c) of the Act. 

Reliance by Third Parties. No third party dealing with the Company shall be required to ascertain whether the Sole Manager
or any Company officer or any person expressly authorized by the Sole Manager is acting in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 

  
 16 

 
All third parties may rely on a document executed by the Sole Manager or by any Company officer or by any person authorized in writing by the Sole Manager as binding on the Company. The foregoing
provisions shall not apply to third parties who are Affiliates or family members of any such Person executing any such document. If the Sole Manager or any Member, officer or other Person acts without authority, such action shall not be binding on
the Company and such Person shall be liable to the Members for any damages arising out of its unauthorized actions. 

Resignation. The Sole Manager may resign, in its sole discretion, at any time. In addition, the Sole Manager shall be
deemed to have resigned as the Sole Manager upon his or its Bankruptcy. 
 Removal. The Sole Manager may not be
removed as the Sole Manager except as set forth in the Management Services Agreement. 
 Vacancies. Vacancies in
the position of Sole Manager occurring for any reason shall be filled by the affirmative vote of all of the Members, notwithstanding any lesser voting requirement set forth in this Agreement. If a Person that is both a Sole Manager and a Member
resigns as the Sole Manager, such Person shall continue to be a Member in the Company notwithstanding ceasing service as the Sole Manager. 
 Information Relating to the Company. Upon request, the Sole Manager shall supply to a Member any information required to be available to the Members under the Act. 

Exculpation and Indemnification; Litigation. 
 In carrying out their respective duties hereunder, the Sole Manager, the Board Members and the Company officers shall not be liable to the Company nor to any Member for their good faith actions, or
failure to act, nor for any errors of judgment, nor for any act or omission believed in good faith to be within the scope of authority conferred by this Agreement, but shall be liable for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence in the
performance of their respective duties under this Agreement. 
 To the extent the Sole Manager, Board Members or the Company
officers have duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to any Member, the Sole Manager, Board Members or the officers acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member for
such Person’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, the records of the Company, and such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any of the Company’s other officers or employees, or by
any other Person as to matters such Sole Manager or any such officer reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company. The
preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person’s right to rely on information to the extent provided in Section 18-406 of the Act. No Sole Manager, Board Member or officer of the Company, or any combination of the foregoing, shall be
personally liable under any judgment of a court, or in any other manner, for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company, whether that liability or obligation arises in contract, tort or otherwise, solely by reason of being a Sole Manager or
officer of the Company or any combination of the foregoing. 

  
 17 

 Subject to the limitations of the Act, the Company shall indemnify, defend, save and hold
harmless the Sole Manager, the Board Members and the Company officers from and against third party claims arising as a result of any act or omission of the Sole Manager, such Board Members or any such officer believed in good faith to be within the
scope of authority conferred in accordance with this Agreement, except for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence or a finding of liability to the Company. In all cases, indemnification shall be provided only out of and to the extent of the net
assets of the Company and no Member shall have any personal liability whatsoever on account thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s indemnification of the Sole Manager, Board members and Company officers as to third party claims
shall be only with respect to such loss, liability or damage that is not otherwise compensated by insurance carried for the benefit of the Company. 
 The Sole Manager has the right to control the defense of any litigation or other government proceeding in which the Company is involved. The Sole Manager shall promptly provide to either Member any
information regarding any such litigation or proceeding such Member may reasonably request, at the expense of such Member, and shall reasonably cooperate with the Members in connection with the defense of any such litigation or proceeding.

 The Company shall reimburse the reasonable expenses of any Member, Sole Manager, Board Member, officer or any of their
officers or employees that are required to appear as a witness in litigation or any other government proceeding because of or relating to their service to or relationship with the Company. 

The Company shall purchase and maintain (i) a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy covering the Board Members and
others serving at the request of the Company, its Sole Manager or its Board; (ii) property and casualty insurance for the Company’s assets; and (iii) liability insurance at coverage levels as set forth in Schedule 5.14(f).

 If any provision of this Section 5.14 (or any portion thereof) or the application of any such provision (or any
portion thereof) to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the Company’s indemnification and exculpation to all other
Persons and circumstances to the greatest extent permissible by Law or the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Officers. 
 The Sole Manager may, from time to time, designate two
individuals to be officers of the Company, (i) the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) the President and Chief Financial Officer. Any officers designated pursuant to this Section 5.15 shall have such titles and
authority and perform such duties as the Sole Manager may, from time to time, delegate to them. 
 Any officer may resign at any
time by giving written notice thereof to the Sole Manager. Any officer may be removed, either with or without cause, by the Sole Manager whenever in its judgment the best interests of the Company will be served thereby; provided,
however, that such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the Person so removed. Designation of an officer shall not, by itself, create contract rights. 

  
 18 

 Management Fee. The services of the Sole Manager shall be compensated from
Available Cash prior to the making of any distributions to the Members hereunder, and shall consist of the payments, compensation and reimbursements set forth in the Management Services Agreement, dated as of the Effective Date, between the Company
and the Sole Manager, including the Management Fee (as defined in the Management Services Agreement). The Company shall pay directly its employees and contractors and all invoices when due for lease operating expenses, capital expenditures,
royalties, ad valorem taxes, severance payments, sales taxes, and other operational expenses as set forth in the Management Services Agreement. 
 Company Opportunities; Conflicts. 
 No Member shall have any
ownership in Company property in such Member’s individual name. 
 No Member, and no Controlled Affiliate of a Member,
shall separately own any oil and gas or real estate assets within the AMI, except as provided in this Section 5.17. 

The Sole Manager, Board Members or any Member, on behalf of the Company (a “Proposing Member”), may analyze, review and
investigate any opportunity for the acquisition of (7) interests in acquisition, leasing, exploration or development of oil and gas assets within the AMI, and (8) equity interests in any Person that, directly or indirectly, owns or engages
in any of the foregoing (any such opportunities, a “Company Opportunity”); provided, however, that except as provided in this Section 5.17, no Member nor any Affiliate of a Member shall directly or indirectly
through any other Person acquire or undertake, or compete with the Company for the acquisition of (or assist any third party in any such acquisition, undertaking or competition), any Company Opportunity until such Company Opportunity has been voted
upon and rejected by the Board. The Proposing Member shall present relevant details regarding the Company Opportunity (including a narrative description, financial projections to the extent available, a financing plan and other information deemed
necessary to allow a diligent review), and the Board shall promptly vote about the Company Opportunity, with a unanimous vote of the Board (other than Board Members representing the Proposing Member) determining whether the Company will take the
Company Opportunity. Failure of the Board to take action on a Company Opportunity within 20 days after presentation of the relevant details to the Board shall be deemed rejection of such Company Opportunity. By the end of such 20-day period, the
non-Proposing Member shall notify the Proposing Member and the Company in writing as to whether or not it desires the Company to pursue the Company Opportunity. If the non-Proposing Member indicates in such notice that it desires the Company to
pursue the Company Opportunity, such Company Opportunity will be deemed to be accepted by the Board. Any failure to provide such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of such Company Opportunity. Upon rejection of a Company Opportunity, the
Proposing Member shall be permitted to pursue such Company Opportunity for its own account. 
 The Board will consider the
related Capital Contributions associated with the Company Opportunity, and the Members shall be required to make the associated Capital 

  
 19 

 
Contributions for any Company Opportunity approved by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.17 shall prevent any Member from pursuing opportunities
outside the AMI, or (ii) is intended to restrict any Board Member or, subject to Sections 5.17(b) and (c), the Board Member’s Affiliates (other than the Members) from pursuing an opportunity. 

Other Investments of Investor Parties; Waiver of Conflicts of Interest. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 5.17, each Member acknowledges and affirms that the members of Laramie and the
stockholders of Delta (the “Investor Parties”): 
 (A) have participated (directly or
indirectly) and will continue to participate (directly or indirectly) in venture capital and other direct investments in corporations, joint ventures, limited liability companies and other entities (“Other Investments”), including
Other Investments engaged in various aspects of the U.S. and Canadian “upstream” and “midstream” oil and gas business that may, are or will be competitive with the Company’s business or that could be suitable for the
Company, (B) have interests in, participate with, aid and maintain seats on the board of directors or similar governing bodies of, Other Investments, and (C) may develop or become aware of business opportunities for Other Investments; and

Investor Parties’ businesses and other factors, have conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest.

to the provisions of Section 5.17, the Members, and the Members on behalf of the Company expressly (x) waive any such conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest and agree that no Investor Party shall have any liability
to any Member or any Affiliate thereof, or the Company with respect to such conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest and (y) acknowledge and agree that the Investor Parties and their respective representatives will not have any
duty to disclose to the Company, any other Member, the Sole Manager or the Board of Managers any such business opportunities, whether or not competitive with the Company’s business and whether or not the Company might be interested in such
business opportunity for itself; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to permit any breach of Section 14.3. The Members (and the Members on behalf of the Company) also acknowledge that the Investor Parties and
their representatives have duties not to disclose confidential information of or related to the Other Investments. 
 The
Members (and the Members on behalf of the Company) hereby: 
 agree that (A) the terms of this
Section 5.18, to the extent that they modify or limit any duty of loyalty or other similar obligation, if any, that an Investor Party may have to the Company or another Member under the Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation,
are reasonable in form, scope and content; and (B) the terms of this Section 5.18 shall control to the fullest extent possible if it is in conflict with any duty of loyalty or similar obligation, if any, that an Investor Party may
have to the Company or another Member, the Act or any other applicable law, rule or regulation; and 

  
 20 

 waive any duty of loyalty or other similar obligation, if any, that an
Investor Party may have to the Company or another Member, pursuant to the Act or any other applicable law, rule or regulation, to the extent necessary to give effect to the terms of this Section 5.18. 

Whenever in this Agreement a Member or any representative thereof is permitted or required to make a decision (a) in its “sole
discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Member shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation
to give any consideration to any interests of or factors affecting the Company or any other Member, or (b) in its “good faith” or under another expressed standard, a Member shall act under such express standard and shall not be
subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or by relevant provisions of law or in equity or otherwise. Nothing in this Section 5.18(d) shall limit the duties provided
for in Section 5.8(a). 
 The Members, individually and on behalf of the Company, acknowledge, affirm and agree that
(i) the approval of Laramie or Delta entering into this Agreement by the applicable Investor Parties is of material benefit to the Company and the Members, and that the Investor Parties would not be willing to approve Laramie and Delta’s
Capital Contributions to the Company, without the benefit of this Section 5.18 and the agreement of the Members thereto; and (ii) they have reviewed and understand the provisions of §§18-1101(b) and (c) of the Act.

 Employees. The Company shall at all times maintain employees that perform substantial management and
operational functions apart from those activities performed by any independent contractors hired by the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall at all times employ (as employees and not as independent contractors), not less than
two production managers, two field superintendents and two field pumpers (to be increased to four field pumpers within 120 days of Closing), and employees of the Company shall perform and/or supervise the performance of, the following services:
(a) all labor and associated costs of field employees and contractors engaged in 100% of the Company’s hydrocarbon production, well workovers, well equipment maintenance, road, pad and pipeline construction, and operations, (b) all

services. 
 MEMBERS 
 Limited Liability. The liability of each Member shall be limited as provided by the Act. Except as permitted under this Agreement, a Member shall take no part in the control, management,
direction or operation of the affairs of the Company, and shall have no power to bind the Company in their capacity as Members. 

No State-Law Partnership. The Members intend that the Company not be a partnership (including, without limitation, a
limited partnership) or joint venture, and that no Member, 

  
 21 

 
member of the Board or Sole Manager be a partner or joint venturer of any other Member or the Sole Manager, for any purposes other than federal and state tax purposes, and this Agreement may not
be construed to suggest otherwise. Except as otherwise required by the Act, other applicable Law, and this Agreement, no Member shall have any fiduciary duty to any other Member. 

Tax Matters Partner. 
 The Sole Manager is hereby designated as the initial “tax matters partner” as such term is defined in section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. The appointment of any successor tax matters partner shall
be approved by the Members. Subject to the provisions hereof, the tax matters partner is authorized and required to represent the Company in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting
administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the tax matters partner shall promptly notify all Members of the commencement of any audit,
investigation or other proceeding concerning the tax treatment of Company tax items and shall keep all Members promptly and completely informed of such proceedings. The Sole Manager shall not enter into any settlement agreement of a tax controversy
that adversely affects a Member without that Member’s prior written consent. 
 The Sole Manager, as the tax matters
partner, shall make or cause to be made all available elections as required by the Code and the Treasury Regulations to cause the Company to be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. 

DISTRIBUTIONS TO THE MEMBERS 
 Non-Liquidating Distributions. The Company shall distribute Available Cash to the Members in proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios on a periodic (which shall be not less than annual)
basis and in amounts approved by the Board. 
 Liquidating Distributions. Subject to Section 10.2(b),
all distributions made in connection with the sale or exchange of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and all distributions made in connection with the liquidation of the Company shall be made to the Members in accordance with
their respective Capital Account balances at the time of distribution after taking into account all allocations of Profit and Loss pursuant to Article VIII. The Management Services Agreement will terminate upon the dissolution of the Company,
and during the winding up of the Company’s Business, the Sole Manager as liquidator of the Company (or any other party acting as liquidator) shall be reimbursed for its actual accounting, legal and supervisory costs related to the winding up
and liquidation of the Company’s Business and assets in lieu of receiving the Management Fee (as defined in the Management Services Agreement). 
 Distributions in Kind. During the existence of the Company, no Member shall be entitled or required to receive as distributions from the Company any Company asset other than money. In-kind
distributions of assets in connection with the dissolution and winding-up of the Company shall be governed by Article XII. 

  
 22 

 ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES 

In General. 
 This Article provides for the allocation among the Members of Profit and Loss for purposes of crediting and debiting the Capital Accounts of the Members. Article IX provides for the allocation among the
Members of taxable income and tax losses. 
 Except as provided in Section 8.2, all Profits and Losses shall be
allocated among the Members in accordance with their respective Sharing Ratios. 
 Regulatory Allocations and Other
Allocation Rules. Notwithstanding Sections 8.1 and 8.3: 
 Loss Limitation. The Losses allocated pursuant to
Section 8.1 shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated without causing such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year. In the event some but not all of the Members would
have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 8.1, the limitation set forth in this Section 8.2(a) shall be applied on a Member by Member basis so as to allocate the
maximum permissible Losses to each Member under section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations. All Losses in excess of the limitations set forth in this Section 8.2(a) shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their
Sharing Ratios. This Section 8.2(a) shall be interpreted consistently with the loss limitation provisions of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). 
 Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(f), if there is a net decrease in partnership minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulations
§§ 1.704-2(b)(2) and 1.704-2(d)(1)) during any fiscal year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount and in the manner required
by Treasury Regulations §§ 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 8.2(b) shall be interpreted consistently with the “minimum gain” provisions of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2 related to nonrecourse
liabilities (as defined in Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(3)). 
 Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as
otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulations §§ 1.704-2(i)(2) and 1.704-2(i)(3)) attributable to partner nonrecourse
debt (as defined in Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(4)) during any fiscal year, each Member who has a share of the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such Member’s partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance
with Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount and in the manner required by Treasury Regulations
§§ 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 8.2(c) shall be interpreted consistently with the “minimum gain” provisions of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2 related to partner nonrecourse liabilities (as
defined in Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(4)). 

  
 23 

 Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any
adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations §§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company income and gain shall
be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, if any, of such Member as quickly as possible. This
Section 8.2(d) shall be interpreted consistently with the “qualified income offset” provisions of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). 

Nonrecourse Deductions. Any non-recourse deduction (as defined in Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(1)) for any fiscal year
shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios. 
 Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any
partner nonrecourse deductions (as defined in Treasury Regulations §§ 1.704-2(i)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(2)) for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the partner
nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(4)) to which such Member nonrecourse deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(1). 

Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset is required pursuant to
Code section 732(d), Code section 734(b) or Code section 743(b), the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m). 

Other. Any other allocation required by Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) that is not in accordance with the
parties’ Sharing Ratios shall be treated as a Regulatory Allocation under this Section 8.2. 
 Curative
Allocations. The allocations under Sections 8.2(a) through 8.2(h) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that,
to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Article VIII. Therefore,
notwithstanding any other provision this Article VIII (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Company shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines
appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of
this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 8.1. In exercising its reasonable discretion under this Section 8.2(i), the Sole Manager shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under
Sections 8.2(a) through 8.2(h) that are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made. 

  
 24 

 Allocations With Respect to Oil and Gas Properties. 

The Simulated Basis of each Oil and Gas Property shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective
Sharing Ratios. Adjusted tax basis shall, subject to any allocations made in connection with Code section 704(c), be allocated in the same manner. 
 Pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(v), the amount realized for federal income tax purposes on the disposition of any Oil and Gas Property of the Company shall, except to the extent
such allocation is made in connection with Code section 704(c), be allocated (i) first to the Members in an amount equal to the remaining Simulated Basis of such property in the same proportions as the Simulated Basis of such property was
allocated to the Members, and (ii) any remaining amount realized shall be allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which Profits are allocated pursuant to Section 8.1. 

Simulated Depletion shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in proportion to their share of Simulated Basis.

 The provisions of this Section 8.2(i) and the other provisions of this Article VIII relating to
allocations under Code section 613A(c)(7)(D) are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations §§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(k) and 1.704-1(b)(4)(v) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations.

 Other Allocation Rules. 
 Subject to Section 10.3, Profits, Losses, and any other items allocable to any period shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as reasonably determined by the Sole Manager
using any permissible method under Code section 706 and the Regulations thereunder. 
 Solely for purposes of determining a
Member’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulations § 1.752 3(a)(3), the Members’ interests in Profits shall be their Sharing Ratios.

 To the extent permitted by Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(h)(3), the Company shall treat distributions of Available Cash
as having been made from the proceeds of a nonrecourse liability (as defined in Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(3)) or a partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(4)) only to the extent that such
distributions would not cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Member. 
 ALLOCATION OF TAXABLE INCOME
AND TAX LOSSES 
 Allocation of Taxable Income and Tax Losses. Except as provided in Sections 9.2 and
9.3, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such item is allocated for book purposes under Article VIII. 

  
 25 

 Allocation of Section 704(c) Items. The Members recognize that with
respect to property contributed to the Company by a Member and with respect to property revalued in accordance with Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) (referred to as “Adjusted Properties”), there will be a
difference between the agreed values or Carrying Values, as the case may be, of such property at the time of contribution or revaluation, as the case may be, and the adjusted tax basis of such property at that time. All items of tax depreciation,
cost recovery, depletion, amortization and gain or loss with respect to such contributed properties and Adjusted Properties shall be allocated among the Members to take into account the book tax disparities with respect to such properties in
accordance with the method selected by the Sole Manager and the provisions of sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulations § 1.704-3. Any gain or loss attributable to a contributed property or an Adjusted Property (exclusive
of gain or loss allocated to eliminate such book tax disparities under the immediately preceding sentence) shall be allocated in the same manner as such gain or loss would be allocated for book purposes under Article VIII. 

Integration with Section 754 Election. All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credits recognized by the
Company for federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions hereof and all basis allocations to the Members shall be determined without regard to any election under section 754 of the Code that may be made
by the Company; provided, however, such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted as necessary or appropriate to take into account the adjustments permitted by sections 734 and 743 of the Code. 

Allocation of Tax Credits. The tax credits, if any, with respect to the Company’s property or operations shall be
allocated among the Members in accordance with Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii). 
 ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING

 Books. The Sole Manager shall cause the Company to maintain complete and accurate books of account of the
Company’s affairs at the principal office of the Company. The Company’s books shall be kept in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and on an accrual basis method of accounting. Subject to the
requirements of applicable Law, the fiscal year of the Company shall end on December 31 of each year. 
 Capital
Accounts; Tax Elections. 
 The Sole Manager shall cause the Company to maintain a separate capital account for each
Member for income tax purposes and such other Member accounts as may be necessary or desirable to comply with the requirements of applicable Law (“Capital Accounts”). Each Member’s Capital Account shall be maintained in
accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). 
 Consistent with and as permitted in the
provisions of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the Capital Accounts of all Members and the Carrying Values of all Company properties may (as reasonably determined by the Sole Manager) be adjusted upwards or downwards to
reflect any unrealized gain or unrealized loss with respect to such Company 

  
 26 

 
property (as if such unrealized gain or unrealized loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of such property for the amount of its fair market value immediately prior to the event giving rise
to revaluation under this Section 10.2(b), and had been allocated among the Members pursuant to Article VIII). In determining such unrealized gain or unrealized loss, the fair market value of Company properties as of the date of
determination shall be reasonably determined by the Sole Manager. 
 A transferee of a Company interest shall succeed to the
Capital Account attributable to the Company interest Transferred, except that if the Transfer causes a termination of the Company under section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code, Treasury Regulations § 1.708-1(b) shall apply. 

The Sole Manager may make such tax elections on behalf of the Company and the Members as the Sole Manager shall determine in its
reasonable discretion. 
 Transfers During Year. The allocation of Profits and Losses under Article VIII between a
Member who Transfers part or all of its interest in the Company during the Company’s accounting year and his transferee, or to a Member whose Sharing Ratio varies during the course of the Company’s accounting year, shall be based on an
interim closing of the Company’s books pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.706-1(c) to the extent consistent with the Code. 
 Reports. The Sole Manager shall cause the Company to deliver to the Members the following financial statements and reports at the times indicated below: 

Monthly, within 30 days after the end of each calendar month, a written report to each Member which shall include (9) a balance
sheet as of the last day of such calendar month, (10) a statement of income and a statement of cash flows for such calendar month, and (11) a report of drilling and completion activities for the prior calendar month; 

Monthly, within 30 days after the end of each calendar month, a comparison of budgeted amounts for such prior calendar month to the
actual results of operations for such prior calendar month, with a written explanation of any material variances;

 Quarterly,
within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, a comparison of budgeted amounts for such prior calendar quarter to the actual results of operations for such calendar quarter, with a written explanation of any material variances; 

Within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, a copy of financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance
with generally acceptable accounting principles and audited by the Independent Accountant, together with an audit report prepared by the Independent Accountant with respect to such financial statements;

 Within 75 days after
the end of each fiscal year of the Company, the applicable Member’s K-1, necessary to allow such Member to file its own income tax return for the preceding year. 
 Except as otherwise required by the Act or this Agreement, the Sole Manager shall not be required to deliver to any Member any other reports, audits or financial statements. The Sole Manager shall file
all required state and federal tax returns when due. 
 Section 754 Election. If requested by a Member, the
Company shall make the election provided for under section 754 of the Code. Any cost incurred by the Company in implementing such election at the request of any Member shall be promptly reimbursed to the Company by the requesting Member. 

TRANSFER OF MEMBER’S INTEREST 
 Restrictions on Transfers and Liens. No Member shall Transfer or create a Lien on all or any portion of its Units except as permitted by this Article XI. Any attempted Transfer of, or
creation of a Lien on, any portion of Units not in accordance with the terms of this Article XI shall be null and void and of no legal effect. 
 Permitted Transfers and Liens. Any Transfers and Liens permitted under this Section 11.2 shall also be subject to the other provisions of this Article XI. Only the following
Transfers and Liens shall be permitted: 
 A Member may Transfer (i) all, but not less than all, of its Units, so long as
all Units are transferred to one Person or (ii) any of its Units if unanimous consent of the non-transferring Members is obtained; and 
 A Member shall be entitled to create a Lien on all or any portion of its Units only as required or permitted by the Bank Revolving Credit Facility or, with respect to Delta’s Units, as required by
the Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof between Delta and certain other parties thereto, as amended, restated or refinanced from time to time; provided however, that any Transfer of a Membership Interest or any
interest therein (whether voluntary or involuntary (including any Transfer in foreclosure)) to or by the beneficiary of such Lien shall be subject to the provisions of this Article XI. 

Sale Participation Rights. 
 Except as provided in Section 11.2(b), no Member (a “Tagged Member”) may Transfer all or a majority of its Units to any Proposed Purchaser, unless the Tagged Member has
received a bona fide written offer from the Proposed Purchaser, and the Tagged Member first provides a written offer notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) to the other Members (the “Tagging Members”) stating that the Tagged
Member desires to Transfer all or a majority of its Units, 

  
 28 

 
designating the specific portion of the Units (the “Offered Interest”) that the Tagged Member desires to Transfer and specifying the proposed purchase price (the “Offered
Price”) and all of the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer of the Offered Interest to the Proposed Purchaser (the “Offered Terms”), and attaching a copy of the offer. 

Each Tagging Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, for a period of 20 Business Days after receipt of the Offer Notice, to
elect to participate in the sale of the Offered Interest. Any such election shall be made by providing written notice of such election to the Tagged Member within such 20-Business Day period. If one or more Tagging Members elect to participate in
the proposed sale of the Offered Interest under this Section 11.3, the Tagged Member shall allocate the Units included in the proposed sale among the Units of the Tagged Member and the electing Tagging Members, pro rata in proportion to
their respective Sharing Ratios, with such sale otherwise on the Offered Terms. Any such sale shall be consummated within 90 days following the expiration of the 20-Business Day election period described above. The Tagged Member shall keep the
electing Tagging Members advised regarding the timing of any such sale. The electing Tagging Member shall not be required to accept any terms, conditions, agreements or undertakings in connection with any such sale other than those described in the
Offer Notice. If the Tagged Member does not sell the Offered Interest to the Proposed Purchaser within such 90-day period, the Tagged Member shall again afford the Tagging Members the participation rights set forth in this Section 11.3
with respect to any offer to sell, assign or dispose of all or any portion of the Offered Interest or any other Units held by the Tagged Member. 
 In the event the holders (“Equity Owners”) of equity interests in a Member (“Member Equity Interests”) seek to Transfer all or substantially all of the Member Equity
Interests in such Member, the foregoing Sections 11.3(a) and (b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, as if such Equity Owners were the Tagged Member seeking to Transfer Units, and the Equity Owners in the other Member were the
Tagging Members. Any Transfer by an Equity Owner in violation of the foregoing shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by the Member in which such Equity Owner holds Member Equity Interests. 

Forced Sale Right. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.2, if a Dragging Member desires to Transfer all,
but not less than all, of the Units of the Dragging Member in connection with a Transfer for cash not less than two years after the Effective Date to an unaffiliated third party Proposed Purchaser in a transaction where no additional material
benefits are received by the Dragging Member in connection therewith and that is contingent on the Transfer of all of the Membership Interests held by any Dragged Members, the Dragging Member may deliver a notice (a “Drag-Along
Notice”) to the Dragged Members setting forth the Units to be Transferred, the proposed purchase price for such Units and the other material terms of the Transfer to the Proposed Purchaser, and attaching a copy of any agreements or written
offers from the Proposed Purchaser setting forth the terms of the Transfer. After the receipt of a Drag-Along Notice, the Dragged Members shall be obligated to Transfer all of its Units to the Proposed Purchaser upon the terms and conditions set
forth in the Drag-Along Notice; provided, however, that v) the terms and conditions set forth in the Drag-Along Notice shall apply to the Units to be Transferred by the Dragging Member, vi) the purchase price for all Units sold to the Proposed
Purchaser shall be allocated among all of the Members selling their Units pro rata in accordance with the number of Units included in the sale, and vii) the closing of the purchase 

  
 29 

 
and sale occurs shall occur within 180 days after the delivery of the Drag-Along Notice. In the event the Equity Owners in Laramie or any successor to Laramie’s interests (“Laramie
Equity Owners”) desire to Transfer all, but not less than all, of their Member Equity Interests in a Transfer for cash not less than two years after the Effective Date to an unaffiliated third party Proposed Purchaser that is contingent on
the Transfer of all of the Member Equity Interests held by the Equity Owners in the other Member, the foregoing shall apply, mutatis mutandis, as if such Laramie Equity Owners were the Dragging Member seeking to Transfer Units, and the Equity
Owners in the other Member were the Dragged Members. Any violation of the foregoing by an Equity Owner shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by the Member in which such Equity Owner holds Membership Equity Interests. 

Substitution of a Member. 
 A transferee of Units who satisfies the requirements of Sections 11.6 and 11.7 to become a Member shall succeed to all of the rights and interest of its transferor in the Company. A
transferee of a Member who does not satisfy such conditions shall not have any right to vote, shall be entitled only to the distributions to which its transferor otherwise would have been entitled and shall have no other right to participate in the
management of the business and affairs of the Company or to become a Member, and the approval of such transferee shall not be required for any Major Decision. 
 If a Member shall be dissolved, merged or consolidated, its successor in interest shall have the same obligations and rights to profits or other compensation that such Member would have had if it had not
been dissolved, merged or consolidated, except that the representative or successor shall not become a substituted Member without satisfying the conditions of Sections 11.6 and 11.7. Such a successor in interest who satisfies
those conditions shall succeed to all of the rights and interests of its predecessor. A successor in interest who does not satisfy those conditions shall not have any right to vote, shall be entitled only to the distributions to which its
predecessor otherwise would have been entitled and shall have no right to participate in the management of the business and affairs of the Company or to become a Member, and the approval of such transferee shall not be required for any Major
Decision. 
 No Transfer of any interest in the Company otherwise permitted under this Agreement shall be effective for any
purpose whatsoever until the transferee shall have assumed the transferor’s obligations to the extent of the interest Transferred, and shall have agreed to be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof, by written instrument, duly
acknowledged, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Sole Manager. Without limiting the foregoing, any transferee that has not become a substituted Member shall nonetheless be bound by the provisions of this Article XI with
respect to any subsequent Transfer. Upon admission of the transferee as a substituted Member, the transferor shall have no further obligations under this Agreement with respect to that portion of its interest Transferred to the transferee;
provided, however, no Member or former Member shall be released, either in whole or in part, from any liability of such Member to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise which has accrued through the date of such Transfer (whether as
the result of a voluntary or involuntary Transfer) of all or part of such Member’s interest in the Company unless the Sole Manager and the other Member agrees to any such release. 

  
 30 

 Conditions to Substitution. As conditions to its admission as a Member, such
assignee, transferee or successor shall pay all reasonable expenses in connection with its admission as a substituted Member. 

Admission as a Member. No Person shall be admitted to the Company as a Member until such Person (a) has assumed the
obligations of this Agreement and (b) unless either (i) the Units or part thereof acquired by such Person have been registered under the Securities Act, and any applicable state securities laws or (ii) the Sole Manager has received a
favorable opinion of the transferor’s legal counsel or of other legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Sole Manager to the effect that the Transfer of the Units to such Person is exempt from registration under those Laws. 

RESIGNATION, DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION 
 Resignation. No Member shall have any right to voluntarily resign from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member shall be deemed to resign from the Company upon the Bankruptcy of
such Member. When a transferee of all or any portion of Units becomes a substituted Member pursuant to Section 11.5, the transferring Member shall cease to be a Member with respect to the portion of the Units so Transferred. 

Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved upon the occurrence of any of the following: 

An event that causes dissolution under this Agreement 
 The unanimous approval of the Members; or 
 A decree of judicial dissolution.

 A court may declare judicial dissolution if the Company cannot carry out its business in conformity with its Articles of Organization and
this Agreement. 
 Liquidation. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Sole Manager shall appoint in writing one or
more liquidators (who may be Members or the Sole Manager) who shall have full authority to wind up the affairs of the Company and to make a final distribution as provided herein. The liquidator shall continue to operate the Company properties with
all of the power and authority of the Sole Manager. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows: 
 The
liquidator shall pay all of the debts and liabilities of the Company or otherwise make adequate provision therefor (including, without limitation, the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as
the liquidator may reasonably determine). The liquidator shall then, by payment of cash or property (in the case of property, valued as of the date of termination of the Company at its agreed value, as determined by unanimous consent of the Members
using a reasonable method of valuation), distribute to the Members such amounts as are required to distribute all remaining amounts to the Members in accordance with Article VII. For purposes of this Article XII, a distribution of an

  
 31 

 
asset or an undivided interest in an asset in-kind to a Member shall be considered a distribution of an amount equal to the fair market value of such asset or undivided interest. Each Member
shall have the right to designate another Person to receive any property that otherwise would be distributed in kind to that Member pursuant to this Section 12.3. 
 Any real property distributed to the Members shall be conveyed by special warranty deed and shall be subject to the operating agreements and all Liens, contracts and commitments then in effect with
respect to such property, which shall be assumed by the Members receiving such real property. 
 Except as expressly provided
herein, the liquidator shall comply with any applicable requirements of the Act and all other applicable Laws pertaining to the winding up of the affairs of the Company and the final distribution of its assets. Liquidation of the Company shall be
completed within the time limits imposed by Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii) and (g). 
 The distribution of
cash or property to the Members in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.3 shall constitute a complete return to the Members of their respective Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Members of their
respective interests in the Company and all Company property. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Member shall have any obligation to contribute to the Company, pay to any other Member or pay to any other Person any deficit
balance in such Member’s Capital Account. 
 To the extent that the allocation provisions of this Agreement do not result
in final Capital Account balances that are in proportion to the Members’ respective Sharing Ratios, then, beginning in the taxable year that the dissolution of the Company occurs (or the immediately prior taxable year if the dissolution occurs
no later than the unextended due date for the Company’s federal income tax return for such prior taxable year) all or a portion of the Company’s gross income and deductions recognized in such year (regardless of source and including but
not limited to profit or loss or items thereof derived from Company operations or sales) shall be allocated (to the maximum extent possible) in a manner that produces such final Capital Accounts. 

Certificate of Cancellation. Upon the completion of the distribution of the Company’s assets as provided in this
Article XII, the Company shall be terminated and the Person acting as liquidator shall file a certificate of cancellation and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.

by the party sought to be charged with the waiver.

Manager will keep confidential and not use, reveal, provide or transfer to any third party any Confidential Information it obtains or has obtained concerning the Company, except viii) to the extent that disclosure to a third party is required by
applicable Law; ix) information which, at the time of disclosure, is generally available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or any other confidentiality agreement to which such Person is a party or of which it has
knowledge), as evidenced by generally available documents or publications; x) information that was in its possession prior to disclosure (as evidenced by appropriate written materials) and was not acquired directly or indirectly from the Company;

independent accountants or legal counsel or investment advisors employed by the Sole Manager (in carrying out its duties on behalf of the Board or the Company), or any Member, to the extent disclosure is necessary or advisable: (i) in the case
of the Sole Manager, to obtain financing for the Company or in connection with a sale of the Company’s Assets; and (ii) in the case of any Member, in connection with a sale of such Member’s Units in the Company; xiii) to the extent
necessary, disclosure to third parties to enforce this Agreement, xiv) to a Member or Sole Manager or to their respective Affiliates; provided, however, that in each case of disclosure pursuant to (d), (e) or (g), the Persons to whom disclosure
is made agree to be bound by this confidentiality provision, or (h) to direct and indirect investors in a Member in substantially the same manner as information regarding the disclosing person’s other portfolio investments are shared with
such investors. The obligation of each Member and Sole Manager 

  
 33 

 
not to disclose Confidential Information except as provided herein shall not be affected by the termination of this Agreement or the replacement of the Sole Manager or any Member. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Member or Sole Manager (and any employee, representative or agent of such Person) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax
structure of the transactions provided for by this Agreement, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analysis) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except that (1) tax treatment and
tax structure shall not include the identity of any existing or future Member or Sole Manager, or any of their respective Affiliates, other than the disclosing party, and (2) this sentence shall not permit disclosure to the extent that
nondisclosure is necessary in order to comply with applicable Laws, including, without limitation, federal and state securities Laws. 
 Public Announcements. Except as required by Law, no Member shall make any press release or other public announcement or public disclosure relating to this Agreement, the subject matter of
this Agreement or the activities of the Company without the consent of the Sole Manager and the Members. 
 Applicable
Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflicts of laws rules. 
 Dispute Resolution; Arbitration. 
 Each Member and the Sole Manager
agree to attempt in good faith to resolve disputes prior to submitting such disputes to determination by arbitration. Within five days following delivery of written notice by one party to the other of a perceived breach or other dispute subject to
arbitration, a senior executive of each Member and the Sole Manager, as applicable, will meet together in person (or if agreed by both parties, via telephone) to discuss ways to correct the dispute prior to taking further action. 

Each Member and Sole Manager, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Company, hereby submits all controversies, claims and matters of
difference arising under or relating to this Agreement or the Company to arbitration in accordance with the provisions and procedures set forth in Schedule 14.6 attached hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following
shall be considered controversies for this purpose: (i) all questions relating to the interpretation or breach of this Agreement, (ii) all questions relating to any representations, negotiations and other proceedings leading to the
execution of this Agreement, the formation of the Company, or the issuance of Units, and (iii) all questions as to whether the right to arbitrate any such question exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Member and Sole Manager shall have
the right to seek and obtain such temporary or preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to which it may be entitled pending a final determination by arbitration of the dispute to which such relief relates. 

Any dispute and related dispute resolution shall be subject to the provisions of Section 14.3 or such other provisions
regarding confidentiality as the Members and the Company may agree. 

  
 34 

 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) or
the application of any such provision (or any portion thereof) to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality
or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the validity, legality or enforceability of the offending provision as to any other Person or circumstance or in any other jurisdiction. 

Specific Performance. The Members expressly agree that the remedies available at Law for the breach of any of the
obligations of the Parties under this Agreement are inadequate in view of the complexities and uncertainties in measuring the actual damages that would be sustained by reason of the failure of a Party to comply fully with such obligations, and the
uniqueness of business arrangement between the Parties. Accordingly, each of the obligations specified herein shall be, and is hereby expressly made, enforceable by specific performance. 

Headings. Article, Section and other subdivision headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and
shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 Entire Agreement; Conflicts. This
Agreement, with the Management Services Agreement and the Contribution Agreement, embodies the entire understanding and agreement among the parties concerning the Company and supersedes any and all prior negotiations, understandings or agreements in
regard thereto. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Management Services Agreement or the Contribution Agreement, the Management Services Agreement or the Contribution Agreement, as applicable, shall govern. 

Transaction Costs. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Management Service Agreement and the Contribution
Agreement, each Member and the Sole Manager shall bear its own costs and expenses, including costs and expenses of its agents, representatives, attorneys and accountants, incurred in connection with the negotiation, drafting, execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including transactions pursuant to Article XI hereof. 
 References. References to a Member, Sole Manager, Board Member or Company officer, including by use of a pronoun, shall be deemed to include masculine, feminine, singular, plural,
individuals, partnerships or corporations where applicable. References in this Agreement to terms in the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” are deemed to be

U.S. Dollars. References herein to “Dollars” or “$” shall refer to U.S. dollars and all
payments and all calculations of amount hereunder shall be made in Dollars. 
 Counterparts. This instrument may
be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be considered an original. 
 Additional Documents.
The Members hereto covenant and agree to execute such additional documents and to perform additional acts as are or may become necessary or convenient to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. 

  
 35 

 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the
Members, Board Members and the Sole Manager, and no other Person is intended to be a beneficiary of this Agreement or shall have any rights hereunder, except that Company officers shall also have the rights of indemnification and exculpation under
Section 5.14.

 Schedule (f)

 Schedule 14.6 
 Arbitration 
 1. Initiation of Arbitration and Selection of
Arbitrators. The party desiring arbitration shall so notify the other party, identifying in reasonable detail the matters to be arbitrated and the relief sought. Arbitration hereunder shall be before one neutral arbitrator pursuant to the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The AAA shall submit a list of potential arbitrators and the parties shall select an arbitrator in the manner established by the AAA. In the event
that the parties fail to select an arbitrator as required above, the AAA shall select such arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be entitled to a fee commensurate with his or her fees for professional services requiring similar time and effort. If the
arbitrator so desires, he or she shall have the authority to retain the services of a neutral judge or attorney (whose fees shall be treated as the arbitrator’s fees) to assist him or her in administering the arbitration and conducting any
hearings and taking evidence at such hearings or otherwise. 
 2. Arbitration Procedures. All matters
arbitrated hereunder shall be arbitrated in Denver, Colorado, pursuant to the substantive Laws of the State of Delaware, and shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, except to the extent such Rules conflict
with the express provisions of this Schedule 14.6 (which shall prevail in the event of such conflict). The arbitrator shall use reasonable efforts to conduct a hearing no later than 75 days after submission of the matter to arbitration, and a
decision shall be rendered by the arbitrator within 10 days of the hearing. The arbitrator shall permit discovery to the extent he or she believes, in his or her discretion, that discovery is necessary. At the hearing, the parties shall present such
evidence and witnesses as they may choose, with or without counsel. Adherence to formal rules of evidence shall not be required but the arbitrator shall consider any evidence and testimony that he or she determines to be relevant, in accordance with
procedures that he or she determines to be appropriate. No award of punitive or consequential damages shall be made. Any award entered in an arbitration shall be made by a written opinion stating the reasons for the award made. 

3. Enforcement. This submission and agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable. Arbitration may
proceed in the absence of any party if notice of the proceedings has been given to such party. The parties agree to abide by all awards rendered in such proceedings. Such awards shall be final and binding on all parties to the extent and in the
manner provided by Delaware law. All awards may be filed with the clerk of one or more courts, state, federal or foreign, having jurisdiction over the party against whom such award is rendered or its property, as a basis of judgment and of the
issuance of execution for its collection. No party shall be considered in default hereunder during the pendency of arbitration proceedings specifically relating to such default. 

4. Fees and Costs. The arbitrator’s fees and other costs of the arbitration and the reasonable attorney fees,
expert witness fees and costs of the prevailing party shall be borne by the non-prevailing party. In its written opinion, the arbitrator shall, after comparing the respective positions asserted in the arbitration claim and answer thereto, declare as
the prevailing 

 
party the party whose position was closest to the arbitration award (not necessarily the party in favor of which the award on the arbitration claim is rendered) and declare the other party to be
the non-prevailing party. The arbitration award shall include an award of the fees and costs provided by this paragraph 4 against the non-prevailing party. 
 5. Consolidation. Any party to the arbitration shall have the right, but not the obligation, to consolidate the arbitration proceedings under this Agreement with the arbitration of
any other disputed issues between the parties to the arbitration.Credit Agreement

Syndication Agent (“Syndication Agent”), and the financial institutions listed on Schedule 1.1 hereto as Banks (individually a “Bank” and collectively “Banks”).

 W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Banks provide Borrower with a revolving credit facility, and Banks are willing to provide such facility on the terms and subject to the conditions hereafter set forth;
and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Article XII of this Agreement, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. has been appointed Administrative

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower, Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent and Banks agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 TERMS DEFINED 

Section 1.1 Definitions. The following terms, as used herein, have the following meanings: 

“Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” means, for any Eurodollar Loan for any Interest Period therefor, the rate per annum
(rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) determined by Administrative Agent to be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan for such Interest Period by (b) 1 minus the
Reserve Requirement for such Eurodollar Loan for such Interest Period. 
 “Administrative Agent” means
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent for Banks hereunder or any successor thereto. 

“Administrative Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by Administrative Agent.

 “Advance Payment Contract” means any contract whereby any Credit Party either (a) receives or
becomes entitled to receive (either directly or indirectly) any payment (an “Advance 

  
 1 

 
Payment”) to be applied toward payment of the purchase price of Hydrocarbons produced or to be produced from Mineral Interests owned by any Credit Party and which Advance
Payment is, or is to be, paid in advance of actual delivery of such production to or for the account of the purchaser regardless of such production, or (b) grants an option or right of refusal to the purchaser to take delivery of such
production in lieu of payment, and, in either of the foregoing instances, the Advance Payment is, or is to be, applied as payment in full for such production when sold and delivered or is, or is to be, applied as payment for a portion only of the
purchase price thereof or of a percentage or share of such production; provided that inclusion of the standard “take or pay” provision in any gas sales or purchase contract or any other similar contract shall not, in and of
itself, constitute such contract as an Advance Payment Contract for the purposes hereof. 
 “Affiliate”
means, as to any Person, any Subsidiary of such Person, or any other Person which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person and, with respect to any Credit Party, means, any director, executive
officer, general partner or manager of such Credit Party and any Person who holds ten percent (10%) or more of the voting stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other ownership interests of such Credit Party. For the purposes of
this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as used with respect to any Person, shall mean the
possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, membership interests or partnership interests, or by contract or
otherwise. 
 “Agent” means Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent, each Arranger, each Bookrunner, or
any other agent appointed hereunder from time to time, and “Agents” means Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent, the Arrangers, the Bookrunners, and any other agent appointed hereunder from time to time, collectively.

 “Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts” at any time shall equal the sum of the Maximum Credit Amounts, as
such amount shall be reduced or terminated from time to time pursuant to Section 2.7 and Section 2.8 respectively. 
 “Agreement” means this Credit Agreement as the same may hereafter be modified, amended or supplemented from time to time. 

“Annualized Consolidated EBITDAX” means, for purposes of calculating the financial ratio set forth in
Section 10.2 for each Rolling Period ending on or prior to June 30, 2013, Borrower’s actual Consolidated EBITDAX for such Rolling Period multiplied by the factor determined for such Rolling Period in accordance with the table
below:

 THE CREDIT 

Section 2.1 Commitments. 
 (a) Each Bank severally agrees, subject to Section 2.1(b), Section 6.1, Section 6.2 and Section 6.3 and the other terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, to lend to Borrower from time to time from and after the Delta/Laramie Transaction Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date amounts requested by Borrower not to exceed in the aggregate at any one time outstanding, the amount of such
Bank’s Commitment reduced by an amount equal to such Bank’s Letter of Credit Exposure. Each Borrowing (i) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or any larger integral multiple of $100,000 (except that any Base Rate
Borrowing may be in an amount equal to the Availability at such time), and (ii) shall be made from the Banks ratably in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. Subject to the foregoing limitations and the other provisions of
this Agreement, prior to the Termination Date Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.1(a), repay amounts borrowed and request new Borrowings to be made under this Section 2.1(a). 

(b) No Bank will be obligated to lend to Borrower hereunder or incur Letter of Credit Exposure, and Borrower shall not be entitled to
borrow hereunder, or obtain Letters of Credit hereunder, in an amount which would cause, after giving effect to the making of any Revolving Loan or issuance of any Letter of Credit (i) the sum of the aggregate principal balance of such
Bank’s Revolving Loans on such date plus its Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Exposure on such date, to exceed its Commitment, or (ii) the Outstanding Credit to exceed the lesser of (A) the Borrowing Base then in effect,
or (B) the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts then in effect. No Bank shall be obligated to fund Borrowings hereunder and 

  
 27 

 
Borrower shall not be entitled to Borrowings hereunder during the existence of a Borrowing Base Deficiency. Nothing in this Section 2.1(b) shall be deemed to limit any Bank’s
obligation to reimburse any Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to its participation in Letters of Credit as a result of the drawing under any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.12. 

(c) The failure of any Bank to make any advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank of its
obligation, if any, to make its advance on the date of such Borrowing. No Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make any advance to be made by such other Bank on the date of any Borrowing 

Section 2.2 Method of Borrowing. 
 (a) In order to request any Borrowing under Section 2.1, Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile to Administrative Agent a duly completed Request for Borrowing (herein so called) prior to
11:00 a.m. (Chicago, Illinois time), (x) on the Borrowing Date specified for a proposed Base Rate Borrowing, and (y) at least three (3) Eurodollar Business Days before the Borrowing Date of a proposed Eurodollar Borrowing. Each such
Request for Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto, and shall specify: 
 (i) the Borrowing Date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic Business Day in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Business Day in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing; 

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing; 

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the
provisions of the definition of Interest Period. 
 (b) Upon receipt of a Request for Borrowing, Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and the amount of the Borrowing to be loaned by such Bank pursuant thereto, and such Request for Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by Borrower. 

(c) Not later than 12:00 noon (Chicago, Illinois time) on the date of each Borrowing, each Bank shall make available its Commitment
Percentage of such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in Chicago, Illinois to Administrative Agent at its address set forth on Schedule 2.1 hereto. Unless Administrative Agent determines that any applicable
condition specified in Section 6.3 has not been satisfied, Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from Banks available to Borrower at Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address. 

Section 2.3 Notes. Any Bank may request that Revolving Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note payable to
such Bank in an amount equal to such Bank’s Maximum Credit Amount. In such event, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Bank a promissory note payable to such Bank (or, if requested by such Bank, to such Bank and its

  
 28 

 
requested assigns) and in a form approved and prepared by Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Revolving Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 14.10) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered
assigns). 
 Section 2.4 Interest Rates; Payments. 

(a) The principal amount of the Base Rate Loan outstanding from day to day shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of
(i) the Applicable Margin plus (ii) the applicable Base Rate in effect from day to day; provided that in no event shall the rate charged hereunder or under any Note exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate. Interest on the Base Rate
Loan shall be payable as it accrues on each Quarterly Date, and on the Termination Date, provided, that in the event of repayment or prepayment of any Base Rate Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be
payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. 
 (b) The principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan outstanding from day to
day shall bear interest for the Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Applicable Margin plus (ii) the applicable Adjusted Eurodollar Rate; provided that in no event shall the rate
charged hereunder or under any Note exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate. Interest on any portion of the principal of each Eurodollar Loan subject to an Interest Period of one (1), two (2) or three (3) months shall be payable on the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided, that in the event of prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such prepayment. 

(c) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.4, Borrower
shall have the option of having all or any portion of the principal outstanding under the Revolving Loan be a Base Rate Loan and one (1) or more Eurodollar Loans, which shall bear interest at rates determined by reference to the Base Rate and
the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, respectively. Prior to the termination of each Interest Period with respect to each Eurodollar Loan, Borrower shall give written notice (a “Notice of Continuation or Conversion”) in the form of
Exhibit G attached hereto to Administrative Agent of the Type of Loan which shall be applicable to the principal of such Eurodollar Loan upon the expiration of such Interest Period. Such Notice of Continuation or Conversion shall be
given to Administrative Agent at least one (1) Domestic Business Day, in the case of a Base Rate Loan selection and three (3) Eurodollar Business Days, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan selection, prior to the termination of the Interest
Period then expiring. If Borrower shall specify a Eurodollar Loan, such Notice of Continuation or Conversion shall also specify the length of the succeeding Interest Period (subject to the provisions of the definition of such term) selected by
Borrower. Each Notice of Continuation or Conversion shall be irrevocable and effective upon notification thereof to Administrative Agent. If the required Notice of Continuation or Conversion shall not have been timely received by Administrative
Agent, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that the principal of the Eurodollar Loan subject to the Interest Period then expiring be Converted to the Base Rate Loan upon the expiration of such Interest Period and Borrower will be deemed to have
given Administrative Agent notice of such election. 

  
 29 

 
Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.4(c) on the amount and number of Eurodollar Loans, Borrower shall have the right to Convert all or any part of the Base Rate
Loan to a Eurodollar Loan by giving Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation or Conversion of such election at least three (3) Eurodollar Business Days prior to the date on which Borrower elects to make such Conversion (a
“Conversion Date”). The Conversion Date selected by Borrower shall be a Eurodollar Business Day. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.4 to the contrary, no portion of the principal of the Base Rate Loan may
be Converted to a Eurodollar Loan and no Eurodollar Loan may be Continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but each such Eurodollar Loan shall be automatically Converted to the Base Rate Loan on the last
day of each applicable Interest Period. Borrower shall not be permitted to have more than five (5) Eurodollar Loans in effect at any time. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.4(a) or Section 2.4(b) above, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue on the
outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan, and to the extent permitted by Law, on the past due but unpaid interest on the Revolving Loan and all other past due Obligations from the period from and including the occurrence of such Event of
Default to but excluding the date the same is remedied at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Default Rate, and (ii) the Maximum Lawful Rate. 
 (e) Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Revolving Loan in accordance with the terms hereof. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Banks by facsimile
of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the rate of interest calculated with reference to the Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate
hereunder (the “contract rate”) is limited to the Maximum Lawful Rate, any subsequent reductions in the contract rate shall not reduce the rate of interest on the Revolving Loan below the Maximum Lawful Rate until the total
amount of interest accrued equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if the contract rate had at all times been in effect. In the event that at maturity (stated or by acceleration), or at final payment of any Revolving Loan, the total
amount of interest paid or accrued on such Revolving Loan is less than the amount of interest which would have accrued if the contract rate had at all times been in effect with respect thereto, then at such time, to the extent permitted by law,
Borrower shall pay to the holder of such Revolving Loan an amount equal to the difference between (i) the lesser of the amount of interest which would have accrued if the contract rate had at all times been in effect and the amount of interest
which would have accrued if the Maximum Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect, and (ii) the amount of interest actually paid on such Revolving Loan. 
 (g) Interest payable hereunder on each Eurodollar Loan shall be computed based on the number of actual days elapsed assuming that each calendar year consisted of 360 days. Interest payable hereunder on
the Base Rate Loan shall be computed based on the actual number of days elapsed assuming that each calendar year consisted of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). 

  
 30 

 Section 2.5 Mandatory Prepayments. Upon the occurrence of any Borrowing
Base Deficiency, Borrower shall make the mandatory prepayments of the Revolving Loan required by Section 4.6 hereof. 
 Section 2.6 Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may, subject to Section 13.5 and the other provisions of this Agreement, upon (a) one (1) Domestic Business Day advance
notice to Administrative Agent with respect to Base Rate Borrowings, and (b) three (3) Domestic Business Days advance notice to Administrative Agent with respect to Eurodollar Borrowings, prepay the principal of the Revolving Loan in whole
or in part. Any partial prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000. 

Section 2.7 Voluntary Reduction of Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts. Borrower may, by notice to Administrative Agent
three (3) Domestic Business Days prior to the effective date of any such reduction, reduce the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts (and thereby reduce the Maximum Credit Amount of each Bank ratably) in amounts not less than $5,000,000 and in an
amount which is an integral multiple of $5,000,000. On the effective date of any such reduction, Borrower shall, to the extent required as a result of such reduction, make a principal payment on the Revolving Loan in an amount sufficient to cause
the principal balance of the Revolving Loan then outstanding to be equal to or less than the total Commitments as thereby reduced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be permitted to voluntarily reduce the total Commitments to an
amount less than the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of all Banks. 
 Section 2.8 Termination of Commitments;
Final Maturity of Revolving Loan. The total Commitments (and the Commitment of each Bank) shall terminate, and the entire outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan, all interest accrued thereon, all accrued but unpaid fees
hereunder and all other outstanding Obligations shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date. 
 Section 2.9
Application of Payments. Each repayment pursuant to Section 2.5, Section 2.6, Section 2.7, Section 2.8, and Section 4.6 shall be made together with accrued interest on the
amount repaid to the date of payment, and shall be applied in accordance with Article III and the other provisions of this Agreement. 
 Section 2.10 Commitment Fee. On the Termination Date, on each Quarterly Date prior to the Termination Date, and, in the event the Commitments are terminated in their entirety prior to
the Termination Date, on the date of such termination, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Bank based on each Bank’s Commitment Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage in
effect from day to day (applied on a per annum basis and computed on the basis of actual days elapsed and as if each calendar year consisted of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year)) of the average daily Availability for the Fiscal Quarter (or
portion thereof) ending on the date such payment is due. 
 Section 2.11 Agency and other Fees. Borrower
shall pay to Administrative Agent and its Affiliates such other fees and amounts as Borrower shall be required to pay to Administrative Agent and its Affiliates from time to time pursuant to the Fee Letters and/or any other separate agreement
between Borrower and Administrative Agent or such Affiliates. Such fees and other 

  
 31 

 
amounts shall be retained by Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and no Bank (other than JPMorgan) shall have any interest therein. Subject to the terms of any applicable Fee Letter or other
agreement between Borrower, Administrative Agent and any Bank, Administrative Agent may disburse any fees paid to Administrative Agent and its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 2.11 in any manner Administrative Agent desires in its
sole discretion. 
 Section 2.12 Letters of Credit. Administrative Agent, or such Bank designated by
Administrative Agent which (without obligation to do so) consents to the same (“Letter of Credit Issuer”) will, from time to time prior to the date which is five (5) Domestic Business Days prior to the Termination Date,
upon request by Borrower, issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary designated by Borrower, so long as (a) the sum of (i) the total Letter of Credit Exposure then existing, and (ii) the amount of
the requested Letter of Credit does not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, and (b) Borrower would be entitled to a Borrowing under Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(b) in the amount of the requested Letter of Credit. Not
less than three (3) Domestic Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of any such Letter of Credit, Borrower (and any Restricted Subsidiary for whose account such Letter of Credit is being issued) shall execute and deliver to
Letter of Credit Issuer, Letter of Credit Issuer’s customary letter of credit application; provided, that in the event of any conflict between such application and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall
control. Each Letter of Credit shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000 and shall be in form and substance acceptable to Letter of Credit Issuer. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date later than the earlier of (i) the Termination
Date, or (ii) one (1) year from the date of issuance (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one (1) year after such renewal or extension). Upon the date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, Letter of Credit Issuer shall
be deemed to have sold to each other Bank, and each other Bank shall be deemed to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Letter of Credit Issuer, a non-recourse participation in the related Letter of Credit and Letter of Credit Exposure
equal to such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit and Letter of Credit Exposure. Upon request of any Bank, but not less often than quarterly, Administrative Agent shall provide notice to each Bank by telephone or facsimile
setting forth each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding pursuant to the terms hereof and specifying the beneficiary and expiration date of each such Letter of Credit, each Bank’s percentage of each such Letter of Credit and the actual dollar
amount of each Bank’s participation held by Letter of Credit Issuer thereof for such Bank’s account and risk. At the time of issuance of each Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent in respect of such Letter of Credit
(A) the applicable Letter of Credit Fee, and (B) the applicable Letter of Credit Fronting Fee. Administrative Agent shall distribute the Letter of Credit Fee payable upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit to Banks in accordance with
their respective Commitment Percentages, and Administrative Agent shall distribute the Letter of Credit Fronting Fee to Letter of Credit Issuer for its own account. Any (y) material amendment or modification, or (z) renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the issuance of a new Letter of Credit for purposes of this Section 2.12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall pay to Letter of Credit Issuer in connection
with the issuance of each Letter of Credit and/or any amendment or modification of any nature to any existing Letter of Credit, Letter of Credit Issuer’s usual and customary fees for the issuance of, amendments or modifications to, and
processing of, Letters of Credit. 

  
 32 

 Immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the
Obligations hereunder, and also on the date which is five (5) Domestic Business Days prior to the Termination Date, Borrower shall deposit with Administrative Agent cash in such amounts as Administrative Agent may request, up to a maximum
amount equal to the aggregate existing Letter of Credit Exposure of all Banks; provided, that, in the case of any of the Events of Default specified in Section 11.1(g) or Section 11.1(h), an amount equal to the
aggregate existing Letter of Credit Exposure of all Banks shall be due and payable without any notice to Borrower or any other act by Administrative Agent or any Bank. Any amounts so deposited shall be held by Administrative Agent for the ratable
benefit of all Banks as security for the outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure and the other Obligations, and Borrower will, in connection therewith, execute and deliver such security agreements in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative
Agent which Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, require. As drafts or demands for payment are presented under any Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall apply such cash to satisfy such drafts or demands. When all Letters of Credit
have expired and the Obligations have been repaid in full (and no Bank has any obligation to lend or issue Letters of Credit hereunder) or such Event of Default has been cured to the satisfaction of Required Banks, Administrative Agent shall release
to Borrower any remaining cash deposited under this Section 2.12. Whenever Borrower is required to make deposits under this Section 2.12 and fails to do so on the day such deposit is due, Administrative Agent or any Bank may,
without notice to Borrower, make such deposit (whether by application of proceeds of any collateral for the Obligations, by transfers from other accounts maintained with any Bank or otherwise) using any funds then available to any Bank of any Credit
Party, any guarantor or any other party liable for repayment of the Obligations. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer immediately upon demand by such Letter of Credit Issuer, and in immediately available funds, for any payment or disbursement made by such Letter of Credit Issuer
under any Letter of Credit issued by it. Payment shall be made by Borrower with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by Letter of Credit Issuer from and including the date payment is made under any Letter of Credit to and including the date
of payment, at the lesser of (i) the Maximum Lawful Rate, or (ii) the Default Rate. The obligations of Borrower under this paragraph will continue until all Letters of Credit have expired and all reimbursement obligations with respect
thereto have been paid in full by Borrower and until all other Obligations shall have been paid in full. 
 Borrower shall be
obligated to reimburse Letter of Credit Issuer upon demand for all amounts paid under Letters of Credit as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph hereof; provided, however, if Borrower for any reason fails to reimburse Letter
of Credit Issuer in full upon demand, Banks shall reimburse Letter of Credit Issuer in accordance with each Banks’ Commitment Percentage for amounts due and unpaid from Borrower as set forth hereinbelow; provided, however, that no
such reimbursement made by Banks shall discharge Borrower’s obligations to reimburse Letter of Credit Issuer. All reimbursement amounts payable by any Bank under this Section 2.12 shall include interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Rate, from the date of the payment of such amounts by Letter of Credit Issuer to the date of reimbursement by such Bank. No Bank shall be liable for the performance or nonperformance of the obligations of any other Bank under this paragraph. The
reimbursement obligations of Banks under this paragraph shall continue after the Termination Date and shall survive termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Papers. 

  
 33 

 Borrower shall indemnify and hold Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer and each
Bank, and their respective officers, directors, representatives and employees harmless from loss for any claim, demand or liability which may be asserted against any or such indemnified party in connection with actions taken under Letters of Credit
or in connection therewith (including losses resulting from the negligence of any or such indemnified party), and shall pay each indemnified party for reasonable fees of attorneys and legal costs paid or incurred by each indemnified party in
connection with any matter related to Letters of Credit, except for losses and liabilities incurred as a direct result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified party, IT BEING THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES THAT
EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE. If Borrower for any reason fails to indemnify or pay Administrative Agent or Letter of Credit Issuer as set forth herein in full, Banks shall
indemnify and pay such indemnified party upon demand, in accordance with each Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such amounts due and unpaid from Borrower; provided, however, that, no such payment made by Banks shall discharge
Borrower’s obligation to indemnify or pay such indemnified party in accordance with the terms hereof. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

Neither Administrative Agent nor any other Letter of Credit Issuer makes any representation or warranty, nor assumes any responsibility
with respect to the validity, legality, sufficiency or enforceability of any letter of credit application executed and delivered in connection with any Letter of Credit issued hereunder or any document relative thereto or to the collectibility
thereunder. Neither Administrative Agent nor any other Letter of Credit Issuer assumes any responsibility for the financial condition of Borrower or for the performance of any obligation of Borrower. Administrative Agent and each other Letter of
Credit Issuer may use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights, or taking or refraining from taking any action which may be vested in it or which it may be entitled to take or assert with respect to any
Letter of Credit or any letter of credit application. FURTHERMORE, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HEREIN, NEITHER ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OTHER LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUER SHALL BE UNDER ANY LIABILITY TO ANY BANK, WITH RESPECT TO ANYTHING ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT OR ANY SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUER MAY DO OR REFRAIN FROM DOING IN THE EXERCISE OF ITS JUDGMENT, THE SOLE LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUER BEING TO HANDLE EACH BANK’S SHARE ON AS
FAVORABLE A BASIS AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUER HANDLES ITS OWN SHARE. NEITHER ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OTHER LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUER SHALL HAVE ANY DUTIES OR RESPONSIBILITIES EXCEPT THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN AND
THOSE DUTIES AND LIABILITIES SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN. FURTHERMORE, NEITHER ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUER, NOR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, OR EMPLOYEES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY
ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED IS EXPRESSLY SET 

  
 34 

 
FORTH HEREIN) UNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR UNDER ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, EXCEPT FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. Neither Administrative
Agent nor any other Letter of Credit Issuer shall incur any liability to any Bank, Borrower, or any Affiliate of any Bank or Borrower, in acting upon any notice, document, order, consent, certificate, warrant or other instrument reasonably believed
by Administrative Agent or such Letter of Credit Issuer to be genuine or authentic and to be signed by the proper party.

 BORROWING BASE 

Section 4.1 Reserve Report; Proposed Borrowing Base. The aggregate amount of credit available to Borrower under this
Agreement shall be limited by a Borrowing Base (herein so called) which shall be determined by Banks at the times and in accordance with the standards and procedures set forth in this Article IV. As soon as available and in any event by
February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 2013, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent and each Bank a Reserve Report prepared as of the immediately preceding December 31 and June 30,
respectively. Simultaneously with the delivery to Administrative Agent and each Bank of each Reserve Report, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent and 

  
 36 

 
each Bank of the amount of the Borrowing Base which Borrower requests become effective on the next Redetermination Date (or such date promptly following such Redetermination Date as Required
Banks shall elect). 
 Section 4.2 Initial Borrowing Base and Delta/Laramie Transaction Borrowing Base. For
the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Delta/Laramie Transaction Closing Date, the amount of the Borrowing Base shall be Zero Dollars ($0). The amount of the Borrowing Base shall remain at Zero Dollars ($0) until the
Delta/Laramie Transaction Closing Date, at which time the Borrowing Base will automatically and without further action increase to the Delta/Laramie Transaction Borrowing Base. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowing Base shall be subject to
further adjustments from time to time pursuant to this Article IV. 
 Section 4.3 Scheduled
Redeterminations of the Borrowing Base; Procedures and Standards. Based in part on the Reserve Reports made available to Banks pursuant to Section 4.1, Banks shall redetermine the Borrowing Base on or prior to the next Redetermination
Date (or such date promptly thereafter as reasonably possible based on the engineering and other information available to Banks). Any Borrowing Base which becomes effective as a result of any Redetermination of the Borrowing Base shall be subject to
the following restrictions: (a) such Borrowing Base shall not exceed the Borrowing Base requested by Borrower pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.4 (as applicable), (b) such Borrowing Base shall not exceed the Aggregate Maximum
Credit Amounts then in effect, (c) to the extent such Borrowing Base represents an increase from the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such Redetermination, such Borrowing Base shall be approved by all Banks, and (d) to the extent such
Borrowing Base represents a decrease in the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such Redetermination, or a reaffirmation of such prior Borrowing Base, such Borrowing Base shall be approved by Required Banks. Each Redetermination shall be made by Banks
in their sole discretion. Without limiting such discretion, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Banks (i) may make such assumptions regarding appropriate existing and projected pricing for Hydrocarbons as they deem appropriate in their sole
discretion, (ii) may make such assumptions regarding projected rates and quantities of future production of Hydrocarbons from the Mineral Interests owned by Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries as they deem appropriate in their sole
discretion, (iii) may consider the projected cash requirements of the Credit Parties, (iv) are not required to consider any asset other than Proved Mineral Interests owned by Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary which are subject to first
and prior Liens in favor of Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Banks to the extent required by Section 5.1 hereof, and (v) may make such other assumptions, considerations and exclusions as Banks deem appropriate in the
exercise of their sole discretion. It is further acknowledged and agreed that, in connection with each Redetermination, each Bank may consider such other credit factors as it deems appropriate including, without limitation, Borrower’s other
assets, liabilities, fixed charges, cash flow, business, properties, prospects, management and ownership, hedged and unhedged exposure to price, price and production scenarios, interest rate and operating cost changes, in the exercise of its sole
discretion and shall have no obligation in connection with any Redetermination to approve any increase from the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such Redetermination. Promptly following any Redetermination of the Borrowing Base, Administrative
Agent shall notify Borrower of the amount of the Borrowing Base as redetermined, which Borrowing Base shall be effective as of the date specified in such notice, and shall remain in effect for all purposes of this Agreement

  
 37 

 
until the next Redetermination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial increase to the Borrowing Base set forth in Section 4.2 shall not be subject to the restrictions and
procedures set forth above in this Section 4.3, but is instead is subject only to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2. 
 Section 4.4 Special Redetermination. 
 (a) In addition to
Scheduled Redeterminations, (i) Borrower shall be permitted to request a Special Redetermination of the Borrowing Base once in each period between Scheduled Redeterminations, and (ii) Required Banks shall be permitted to request a Special
Redetermination of the Borrowing Base once in each Fiscal Year. Any request by Required Banks pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) shall be submitted to Administrative Agent and Borrower. Any request by Borrower pursuant to this
Section 4.4(a) shall be submitted to Administrative Agent and each Bank and at the time of such request Borrower shall (A) deliver to Administrative Agent and each Bank a Reserve Report, and (B) also notify Administrative Agent
and each Bank of the Borrowing Base requested by Borrower in connection with such Special Redetermination. 
 (b) Any Special
Redetermination shall be made by Banks in accordance with the procedures and standards set forth in Section 4.3; provided, that, no Reserve Report will be required to be delivered to Administrative Agent and Banks in
connection with any Special Redetermination requested by Required Banks pursuant to Section 4.4(a) above. 

Section 4.5 Asset Disposition and Hedge Monetization Adjustment. In addition to the Redeterminations pursuant to
Section 4.3 and Section 4.4, Required Banks shall be permitted to redetermine the Borrowing Base in connection with, and simultaneously with, the consummation of an Asset Disposition or Hedge Monetization described in the
proviso of Section 9.5 and reduce the Borrowing Base by an amount equal to the Borrowing Base value of the Borrowing Base Properties and Oil and Gas Hedge Transactions which are the subject of such Asset Disposition or Hedge Monetization
(which shall be the Borrowing Base value assigned thereto by Administrative Agent and approved by Required Banks). In the event Required Banks elect to redetermine the Borrowing Base in accordance with this Section 4.5, Administrative
Agent shall notify Borrower promptly, but in any event no less than one (1) Domestic Business Day prior to the consummation of the applicable Asset Disposition or Hedge Monetization, of the amount of the Borrowing Base as redetermined, which
Borrowing Base shall be effective as of the date specified in such notice, and shall remain in effect for all purposes of this Agreement until the next Redetermination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower agrees that
any such Redetermination pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall not be construed or deemed to be a Special Redetermination hereunder. 
 Section 4.6 Borrowing Base Deficiency. To the extent a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists after giving effect to any Redetermination (other than in connection with a Redetermination
pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof), Borrower shall, within ten (10) days following notice thereof from Administrative Agent, provide written notice (the “Election Notice”)”) to Administrative Agent stating
the action which Borrower proposes to take to remedy such Borrowing Base Deficiency, and Borrower shall thereafter, at its option, either (a) within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Election Notice, make a prepayment or
prepayments of 

  
 38 

 
principal on the Revolving Loan in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency, and if such Borrowing Base Deficiency cannot be eliminated pursuant to this
Section 4.6 by prepayment of the Revolving Loan in full (as a result of outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure), Borrower shall also at such time deposit with Administrative Agent sufficient cash to be held by Administrative Agent to
secure outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure in the manner contemplated by Section 2.12 as necessary to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency, (b) eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency by making three (3) consecutive
mandatory prepayments of principal on the Revolving Loan, each of which shall be in the amount of one-third (1/3rd) of the amount of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, commencing on the first Monthly Date following the delivery of the Election
Notice, and continuing on each Monthly Date thereafter, (c) within ninety (90) days following the delivery of the Election Notice, submit (and pledge as collateral pursuant to Article V hereof additional oil and gas properties owned
by Borrower and its Subsidiaries for consideration in connection with the determination of the Borrowing Base which Administrative Agent and Banks deem sufficient in their sole discretion to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency, or
(d) eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency through a combination of prepayments on the Revolving Loan and submission of additional oil and gas properties for inclusion in the Borrowing Base as set forth in subclauses (a) and
(c) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any Redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof which results in a Borrowing Base Deficiency (or increase in an existing Borrowing Base Deficiency), Borrower
shall immediately make a mandatory prepayment of principal on the Revolving Loan in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency.

suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened against or affecting any Credit Party before any Governmental Authority in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which could in any manner draw into question the validity of the Loan Papers. 

Section 7.6 ERISA. No Credit Party maintains or has ever maintained or been obligated to contribute to any Plan
covered by Title IV of ERISA or subject to the funding requirements of section 412 of the Code or section 302 of ERISA. Each Plan maintained by any Credit Party or any ERISA Affiliate of any Credit Party is in compliance in all material respects

including interest and penalties, and all other Taxes which are payable by such party, to the extent the same have become due and payable, other than Taxes with respect to which a failure to pay would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No Credit
Party knows of any proposed material Tax assessment against it and all Tax liabilities of each Credit Party are adequately provided for. No income tax liability of any Credit Party has been asserted by the Internal Revenue Service or other
Governmental Authority for Taxes in excess of those already paid. 
 Section 7.8 Ownership of Properties
Generally. Except for Immaterial Title Deficiencies and Permitted Encumbrances, each Credit Party has good and defensible title to all material properties and assets purported to be owned by it, including, without limitation, all assets
reflected in the balance sheets referred to in Section 7.4(a) and Section 7.4(b) and all assets which are used by the Credit Parties in the operation of their respective businesses, and none of such properties or assets is

upon consummation of the Delta/Laramie Transaction will have, good and defensible title to all Mineral Interests described in the most recently delivered Reserve Report, including, without limitation, all Borrowing Base Properties, free and clear of
all Liens except Permitted Encumbrances and Immaterial Title Deficiencies. With the exception of Immaterial Title Deficiencies, all such Mineral Interests are valid, subsisting, and in full force and effect, and all rentals, royalties, and other
amounts due and payable in respect thereof have been duly paid. Without regard to any consent or non-consent provisions of any joint operating agreement covering any of Borrower’s Proved Mineral Interests, and with the exception of Immaterial
Title Deficiencies, Borrower’s share of (a) the costs for each Proved Mineral Interest described in the Reserve Report is not greater than the decimal fraction set forth in the Reserve Report, before and after payout, as the case may be,
and described therein by the respective designations “working interests,” “WI,” “gross working interest,” “GWI,” or similar terms, and (b) production from, allocated to, or attributed to each such Proved
Mineral Interest is not less than the decimal fraction set forth in the Reserve Report, before and after payout, as the case may be, and described therein by the designations “net revenue interest,” “NRI,” or similar terms. Each
well drilled in respect of each Proved Producing Mineral Interest described in the Reserve Report (i) capable of, and is presently, producing Hydrocarbons in commercially profitable quantities, and Borrower is currently receiving payments for
its share of production, with no funds in respect of any thereof being presently held in suspense, other than any such funds being held in suspense pending delivery of appropriate division orders, and (ii) has been drilled, bottomed, completed,
and operated in compliance with 

  
 50 

 
all applicable Laws and no such well which is currently producing Hydrocarbons is subject to any penalty in production by reason of such well having produced in excess of its allowable
production. 
 Section 7.10 Licenses, Permits, Etc. Except as disclosed on Schedule 7.10 attached
hereto, each Credit Party possesses such valid franchises, certificates of convenience and necessity, operating rights, licenses, permits, consents, authorizations, exemptions and orders of Governmental Authorities, as are necessary to carry on its

 Section 7.11 Compliance with Law. The business and operations of each Credit Party have been and are being conducted in accordance with all applicable Laws other than violations of Laws
which do not (either individually or collectively) have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 7.12 Full

information hereafter furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party to Administrative Agent or any Bank will be, true, complete and accurate in every material respect. The Credit Parties have disclosed or have caused to be disclosed to Banks in
writing any and all facts which might reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. 
 Section 7.13
Organizational Structure; Nature of Business. As of the Closing Date, Borrower has no Subsidiaries. Borrower is primarily engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring, developing and operating Mineral Interests and the production,
processing and marketing of Hydrocarbons therefrom and related activities. Schedule 7.13 attached hereto (as the same may be updated from time to time in writing by Borrower to Administrative Agent) accurately reflects (a) the
jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of each Credit Party, (b) each jurisdiction in which each Credit Party is qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation, foreign partnership or foreign limited liability company,
(c) the authorized, issued and outstanding Equity of each Credit Party and the owner thereof, and (d) all outstanding warrants, options, subscription rights, convertible securities or other rights to purchase Equity of each Credit Party.

 Section 7.14 Environmental Matters. Except for matters disclosed on Schedule 7.14 attached
hereto, no operation conducted by any Credit Party and no real or personal property now or previously owned or leased by any Credit Party (including, without limitation, any Credit Party’s Mineral Interests) and no operations conducted thereon,
and to any Credit Parties’ knowledge, no operations of any prior owner, lessee or operator of any such properties, is or has been in violation of any Applicable Environmental Law other than violations which neither individually nor in the
aggregate will have a Material Adverse Effect. Except for matters disclosed on Schedule 7.14 attached hereto, no Credit Party, nor any such property nor operation is the subject of any existing, pending or, to any Credit Parties’
knowledge, threatened Environmental Complaint which could, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. All notices, permits, licenses, and similar authorizations, required to be obtained or filed in connection with the
ownership of each tract of real property or operations of any Credit Party 

  
 51 

 
thereon and each item of personal property owned, leased or operated by any Credit Party, including, without limitation, notices, licenses, permits and authorizations required in connection with
any past or present treatment, storage, disposal, or release of Hazardous Substances into the environment, have been duly obtained or filed except to the extent the failure to obtain or file such notices, licenses, permits and authorizations would
not have a Material Adverse Effect. All Hazardous Substances, generated at each tract of real property and by each item of personal property owned, leased or operated by any Credit Party have been transported, treated, and disposed of only by
carriers or facilities maintaining valid permits under RCRA (as hereinafter defined) and all other Applicable Environmental Laws for the conduct of such activities except in such cases where the failure to obtain such permits would not, individually
or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Except for matters disclosed on Schedule 7.14 attached hereto, there have been no Hazardous Discharges which were not in compliance with Applicable Environmental Laws other than
Hazardous Discharges which would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Except for matters disclosed on Schedule 7.14 attached hereto, no Credit Party has any contingent liability in connection with any
Hazardous Discharge which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Section 7.14, the term “RCRA” shall mean the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended by
the Used Oil Recycling Act of 1980, the Solid Waste Recovery Act of 1976, as amended by the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1980, and the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984, as the same may be further amended and in effect from time to time.

 Section 7.15 Burdensome Obligations. No Credit Party, nor any of the properties of any Credit Party, is
subject to any Law or any pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened change of Law or subject to any restriction under its articles (or certificate) of incorporation, bylaws, regulations, partnership agreement or comparable charter
documents or under any agreement or instrument to which any Credit Party or by which any Credit Party or any of their properties may be subject or bound, which is so unusual or burdensome as to be likely in the foreseeable future to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Without limiting the foregoing, no Credit Party is a party to or bound by any agreement (other than the Loan Papers) or subject to any order of any Governmental Authority which prohibits or restricts in any way the right of such
Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary to make Distributions. 
 Section 7.16 Fiscal Year. Borrower’s
Fiscal Year is January 1 through December 31. 
 Section 7.17 No Default. Neither a Default nor an
Event of Default has occurred or will exist after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Papers. 
 Section 7.18 Government Regulation. No Credit Party is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act (as any of the preceding acts have been amended),
the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any other Law which regulates the incurring by such Credit Party of Debt, including, but not limited to Laws relating to common contract carriers or the sale of electricity, gas, steam, water or other public
utility services. 
 Section 7.19 Insider. No Credit Party is, and no Person having “control” (as
that term is defined in 12 U.S.C. section 375(b) or regulations promulgated thereunder) of any Credit Party is an “executive officer,” “director” or “shareholder” of any Bank or any bank holding company of which any
Bank is a Subsidiary or of any Subsidiary of such bank holding company.

Subsidiaries to have, (a) all insurance policies sufficient for the compliance by each of them with all material Laws and all material agreements including, without limitation, Flood Insurance, if required and (b) insurance coverage in at
least amounts and against such risk (including, without limitation, public liability) that are usually insured against by companies similarly situated and engaged in the same or a similar business for the assets and operations of Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries. Administrative Agent and the Banks have been named as additional insureds in respect of such liability insurance policies and Administrative Agent has been named as loss payee with respect to property loss insurance. No
Credit Party owns any material Building (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulation) or material Manufactured (Mobile) Home (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulation) for which such Credit Party has not delivered to
Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that (a) such Credit Party maintains Flood Insurance for such Building or Manufactured (Mobile) Home or (b) such Building or Manufactured (Mobile) Home is not
located in a Special Flood Hazard Area. 
 Section 7.22 Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither Borrower nor any
of its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a material violation by such Persons of the FCPA,
including without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise
to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention
of the FCPA; and, Borrower, its Subsidiaries and its and their Affiliates have conducted their business in material compliance with the FCPA.

any material United States sanctions administered by OFAC, and Borrower will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds from the Revolving Loans or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner
or other Person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any United States sanctions administered by OFAC.

with all other such violations, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 8.9
Operation of Properties and Equipment. 
 (a) Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, maintain,

its contractual representative and Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Paper, and each Bank irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Bank with the rights and duties expressly
set forth herein and in the other Loan Papers. Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative and Administrative Agent upon the express conditions contained in this Article XII. Notwithstanding the use of the defined
term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Bank by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Paper and that Administrative Agent is

(c) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Papers. Each of the Banks hereby agree not to assert any claim against Administrative Agent

its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to Borrower or any Bank for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Paper or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such

officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Paper or any Borrowing hereunder; (b) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Paper, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Bank; (c) the satisfaction of any condition

Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party that is communicated to or obtained by it or any of its Affiliates.

writing to do so by Required Banks. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Paper unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks pro rata

and any Bank or between two or more of the Banks), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Papers or of any such other documents; provided that no Bank shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the
foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Banks under this Section 12.8
shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 12.9 Notice of
Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Bank or Borrower referring to this
Agreement describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Administrative Agent receives such a notice, Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks.

“Banks” shall, at any time when Administrative Agent is a Bank, unless the context otherwise indicates, include in its individual capacity. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally
engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition 

  
 67 

 
to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Paper, with Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any
other Person. 
 Section 12.11 Bank Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Bookrunners or any other Agent or Bank and based on the financial statements prepared by Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Papers. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Bookrunners or any other Agent or Bank
and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Papers.

thereof to Banks and Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, forty-five (45) days after the retiring Administrative Agent
gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, Required Banks shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of Borrower and the Banks, a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be approved by Borrower, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld; provided, that, Borrower shall not have the right to approve any successor Administrative Agent appointed during the continuance of any Default. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed
by Required Banks within thirty (30) days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of Borrower and Banks, a successor Administrative
Agent which shall be approved by Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, that, Borrower shall not have the right to approve any successor Administrative Agent appointed during the continuance of any Default.
If Administrative Agent has resigned and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, Banks may perform all the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder and Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable
Bank and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Banks. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Administrative
Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of Administrative Agent, the resigning Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Papers. After the effectiveness of the resignation of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Papers. In the event that there is a successor to Administrative Agent by merger, or
Administrative Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 12.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the
new Administrative Agent.

 Section 12.13 Delegation to Affiliates. Borrower and Banks agree that
Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall
be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which Administrative Agent is entitled under Article XII and Article XIII. 

Section 12.14 Execution of Collateral Documents. Without limiting the powers and authority of Administrative Agent
described herein, the Banks hereby empower and authorize Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to Borrower on their behalf the Mortgages, the Borrower Pledge Agreements, the Subsidiary Pledge Agreements, and all related financing statements
and any other financing statements, agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the foregoing instruments. 
 Section 12.15 Collateral Releases. Banks hereby empower and authorize Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to Borrower on their behalf any agreements, documents or instruments as
shall be necessary or appropriate to effect any releases of collateral which shall be permitted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Paper (including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of Section 9.5 hereof) or which shall
otherwise have been approved by Required Banks (or, if required by the terms of Section 14.5, all of the Banks) in writing. 
 Section 12.16 Agents. The Syndication Agent shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Banks
as such. Without limiting the foregoing, the Syndication Agent shall not have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Bank. Each Bank hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the Syndication Agent as it makes with respect
to Administrative Agent in Section 12.11. 
 ARTICLE XIII 

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES 
 Section 13.1 Increased Cost and Reduced Return. 
 (a) If, after
the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority,
central bank, or comparable agency: 
 (i) shall subject such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any tax,
duty, or other charge with respect to any Eurodollar Loans, any Note, or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or any Note
in respect of any Eurodollar Loans (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Bank or such Applicable Lending Office); 

  
 69 

 (ii) shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
assessment, compulsory loan, or similar requirement (other than the Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities
or commitments of, such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office), including the Commitment of such Bank hereunder; or 
 (iii) shall impose on such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any Note or any of such extensions of credit or
liabilities or commitments; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of
making, Converting into, Continuing, or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans or to reduce any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or any Note with respect to any Eurodollar Loans, then Borrower
shall pay to such Bank on demand such amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased costs or reductions incurred or experienced within one hundred twenty (120) days of such demand. If any Bank requests compensation by
Borrower under this Section 13.1(a), Borrower may, by notice to such Bank (with a copy to Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Bank to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans or to Convert all or part of the Base Rate Loan
owing to such Bank into Eurodollar Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 13.4 shall be applicable); provided, that such suspension
shall not affect the right of such Bank to receive the compensation so requested. 
 (b) If, after the date hereof, any Bank
shall have determined that the adoption of any applicable law, rule, or regulation regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or such corporation could have achieved but
for such adoption, change, request, or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time upon demand, Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Bank for such reductions experienced within one hundred twenty (120) days of such demand. 
 (c) Each Bank shall
promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 13.1 and will designate a different Applicable
Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. Any Bank claiming compensation under this Section 13.1 shall
furnish to Borrower and Administrative Agent a statement setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 

  
 70 

 (d) For all purposes under this Agreement including, without limitation, this
Section 13.1, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, guidelines or directives in connection therewith or promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision
or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to have gone into effect and to have been adopted after the Closing Date. 

Section 13.2 Limitation on Type of Loans. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar
Loan: 
 (a) Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting
the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) Required Banks determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify Administrative Agent that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Banks of funding
Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period; 
 then Administrative Agent shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof specifying the relevant Type
of Revolving Loans and the relevant amounts or periods, and so long as such condition remains in effect, Banks shall be under no obligation to make additional Revolving Loans of such Type, Continue Revolving Loans of such Type, or to Convert
Revolving Loans of any other Type into Revolving Loans of such Type, and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Revolving Loans of the affected Type, either prepay such Revolving Loans or
Convert such Revolving Loans into another Type of Revolving Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

Section 13.3 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful
for any Bank or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Loans hereunder, then such Bank shall promptly notify Borrower thereof and such Bank’s obligation to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans and to Convert other
Types of Revolving Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Bank may again make, maintain, and fund Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 13.4 shall be applicable). 

Section 13.4 Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Bank to make particular Eurodollar Loans or to
Continue Revolving Loans, or to Convert Revolving Loans of another Type into Revolving Loans of a particular Type shall be suspended pursuant to Section 13.1 or Section 13.3 hereof (Revolving Loans of such Type being herein
called “Affected Loans” and such Type being herein called the “Affected Type”), such Bank’s Affected Loans shall be automatically Converted into the Base Rate Loan on the last day(s) of the then
current Interest Period(s) for Affected Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 13.3 hereof, on such earlier date as such Bank may specify to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such
Bank gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 13.1 or Section 13.3 hereof that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist: 

(a) to the extent that such Bank’s Affected Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would
otherwise be applied to such Bank’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to the Base Rate Loan; and 

  
 71 

 (b) all Revolving Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Bank as Revolving
Loans of the Affected Type shall be made or Continued instead as part of the Base Rate Loan, and all Revolving Loans of such Bank that would otherwise be Converted into Revolving Loans of the Affected Type shall be Converted instead into (or shall
remain) as part of the Base Rate Loan. 
 If such Bank gives notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) that the circumstances
specified in Section 13.1 or Section 13.3 hereof that gave rise to the Conversion of such Bank’s Affected Loans pursuant to this Section 13.4 no longer exist (which such Bank agrees to do promptly upon such
circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Revolving Loans of the Affected Type made by other Banks are outstanding, such Bank’s portion of the Base Rate Loan shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding
Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Revolving Loans of the Affected Type, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Revolving Loans held by Banks holding Revolving Loans of the Affected Type and by such Bank are held pro
rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments. 
 Section 13.5
Compensation. Upon the request of any Bank, Borrower shall pay to such Bank such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Bank) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense (including loss of
anticipated profits) incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a) any payment, prepayment, or Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan for any
reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Revolving Loan) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or 
 (b) any failure by Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any condition precedent specified in Article VI to be satisfied) to borrow, Convert, Continue, or prepay a
Eurodollar Loan on the date for such Borrowing, Conversion, Continuation, or prepayment specified in the relevant Request for Borrowing, Notice of Continuation or Conversion, or other notice of Borrowing, prepayment, Continuation, or Conversion
under this Agreement. 
 Section 13.6 Taxes. 

(a) Payment Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan
Paper shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if Borrower or any Guarantor 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 

  
 72 

 
Section 13.6(a)), Administrative Agent, Bank or Letter of Credit Issuer (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) Borrower or such Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower or such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable Law. 
 (c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent, each Bank and the
Letter of Credit Issuer, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by Administrative Agent, such Bank or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, on or with
respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 13.6) and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with 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 of Administrative Agent, a Bank
or the Letter of Credit Issuer as to the amount of such payment or liability under this Section 13.6 shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Indemnification by the Banks. Each Bank shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand
therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so),
(ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.10(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that
are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Paper, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any
and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Paper or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d). 

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower or a Guarantor
to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to 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 Administrative Agent. 
 (f) Status of Banks. 

(i) Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any
Loan Paper shall deliver to 

  
 73 

 
Withholding Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Withholding Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Withholding Agent as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by Withholding Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
Withholding Agent as will enable Withholding Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion,
execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 13.6(f)(ii)(A) and (ii)(B) and Section 13.6(g) below) shall not be required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion,
execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a “United States person” as
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, 
 (A) any Bank that is a “United States person” as
defined in Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code shall deliver to Withholding Agent on or prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Withholding Agent),
executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Withholding Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which
such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Withholding Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(1) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party
(x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Paper, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty
and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Paper, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income”
article of such tax treaty; 
 (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(3) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c)
of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) 

  
 74 

 
of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 
 (4) to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the
form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Bank is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Bank are
claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Bank may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and 

(C) any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Withholding Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Withholding Agent), executed originals of any
other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit
Withholding Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 Each Bank agrees that if any
form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Withholding Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(g) FATCA. If a payment made to a Bank under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by
FATCA if such Bank fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to Withholding Agent, at the time or times
prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation
reasonably requested by Withholding Agent as may be necessary for Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to
deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 13.6(g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

  
 75 

 (h) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the
agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 13.6 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Revolving Loans. 

Section 13.7 Discretion of Banks as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the
contrary, each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Commitment in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made
as if such Bank had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan during the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to the last day of such Interest Period and bearing an
interest rate equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period. 
 Section 13.8 Defaulting
Banks. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, and any Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then: 

(a) all or any part of such Letter of Credit Exposure shall be allocated among the non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their
respective Commitment Percentage but only to the extent (i) the sum of all non-Defaulting Banks’ Revolving Loans on such date plus all such non-Defaulting Bank’s aggregate Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Exposure on such
date does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Bank’s Commitments and (ii) the conditions set forth in Section 6.3 are satisfied at such time; 
 (b) if the reallocation described in clause (a) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall within one (1) Domestic Business Day following notice by Administrative Agent
cash collateralize such Defaulting Bank’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.12 for so long as such Letter
of Credit Exposure is outstanding; 
 (c) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the non-Defaulting Banks is reallocated pursuant
to this Section 13.8, then the fees payable to the Banks pursuant to Section 2.10 and Section 2.12 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Banks’ Commitment Percentages; 

(d) if any Defaulting Bank’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this
Section 13.8, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Bank hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Bank (solely with respect to the portion of such
Defaulting Bank’s Commitment that was utilized by such Letter of Credit Exposure) under Section 2.10 with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s Letter of Credit Exposures shall be payable to the Letter of Credit Issuer until such Letter
of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, so long as any
Bank is a Defaulting Bank, Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the

  
 76 

 
Commitments of the non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral will be provided by Borrower in accordance with Section 2.12, and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased
Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with Section 13.8(a) (and any Defaulting Bank shall not participate therein). 
 Section 13.9 Replacement of Banks. If any Bank requests compensation under Section 13.1, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Bank or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 13.6, or if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank hereunder, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and Administrative Agent, require such
Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 14.10(c)), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that (i) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld,
(ii) such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Revolving Loans and participations in Letter of Credit disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 13.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 13.6, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 (c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of
Borrower contained in this Section 14.3 shall survive the payment in full of the Revolving Loan and all other amounts payable under this Agreement. 
 Section 14.4 Right of Set-off; Adjustments. 
 (a) If an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Bank (and each of its Affiliates, including, without limitation, Secured Affiliates) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Bank (or any of its Affiliates, including, without limitation, Secured Affiliates) to or for
the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any and all of the Obligations, irrespective of whether such Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any Note held by such and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each
Bank agrees promptly to notify the affected Credit Party after any such set-off and application made by such Bank; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
The rights of each Bank under this Section 14.4 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Bank may have. 

(b) If any Bank (a “benefitted Bank”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the amounts owing
to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Bank, if any, in respect
of such other Bank’s amounts owing to it, or interest thereon, such benefitted Bank shall purchase for cash from the other Banks a participating interest in such portion of each such other Bank’s amounts owing to it, or shall provide such
other Banks with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Bank to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each other Bank; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Bank, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but
without interest. Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from a Bank pursuant to this Section 14.4 may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of set-off)
with respect to such participation as fully as if such Person were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

  
 79 

 Section 14.5 Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Paper may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by Borrower and Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of any Agent are affected thereby, by such Agent); provided that no such
amendment or waiver shall: (a) increase the Commitment or the Maximum Credit Amount of any Bank without the written consent of such Bank, (b) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Revolving Loan or any fees or other amounts
payable hereunder or on termination of any Commitment without the written consent of each Bank affected thereby, (c) change the percentage of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts, or the number of Banks which shall be required for Banks or any
of them to take any action under this Section 14.5 or any other provision of this Agreement without the written consent of each Bank (other than any Defaulting Bank), (d) extend the due date for, or forgive any principal, interest,
fees or reimbursement obligations due hereunder without the consent of each Bank affected thereby, (e) release any material guarantor or other material party liable for all or any part of the Obligations or release any material part of the
collateral for the Obligations or any part thereof other than releases required pursuant to sales of collateral which are expressly permitted by Section 9.5 hereof without the written consent of each Bank (other than any Defaulting
Bank), (f) amend or modify any of the provisions of Article IV hereof or the definitions of any terms defined therein if the effect thereof would result in an increase in the Borrowing Base without the written consent of each Bank,
(g) increase any Borrowing Base above the Borrowing Base then in effect without the written consent of each Bank, or (h) amend or modify clause (c) of Article III without the written consent of each Bank. 

Section 14.6 Survival. All representations, warranties and covenants made by any Credit Party herein or in any
certificate or other instrument delivered by it or in its behalf under the Loan Papers shall be considered to have been relied upon by Banks and shall survive the delivery to Banks of such Loan Papers or the extension of the Revolving Loan (or any
part thereof), regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Banks. The indemnity provided in Section 14.3(b) herein shall survive the repayment of all credit advances hereunder and/or the discharge or release of any Lien
granted hereunder or in any other Loan Paper, contract or agreement between Borrower or any other Credit Party and any Agent or any Bank. 
 Section 14.7 Limitation on Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in the Loan Papers, Banks shall never be entitled to receive, collect, or apply, as interest on the Revolving
Loan, any amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, and in the event any Bank ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be deemed excessive interest shall be deemed a partial prepayment of principal
and treated hereunder as such; and if the Revolving Loan is paid in full, any remaining excess shall promptly be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the Maximum Lawful
Rate, Borrower and Banks shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and
(c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of the interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Revolving Loans, so that the interest rate is the Maximum Lawful Rate throughout the entire term of the
Revolving Loans; provided, however, that if the unpaid principal balance thereof is paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of
existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, Banks shall refund to Borrower the 

  
 80 

 
amount of such excess and, in such event, Banks shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any Laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of the
Maximum Lawful Rate. 
 Section 14.8 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of the Loan Papers is held to be
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future Laws effective during the term thereof, such provision shall be fully severable, the Loan Papers shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had
never comprised a part thereof, and the remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of the Loan Papers a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

 Section 14.9 Waiver of Consumer Credit Laws. Pursuant to Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code, as
amended, Borrower agrees that such Chapter 346 shall not govern or in any manner apply to the Revolving Loan. 

Section 14.10 Assignments and Participations. 

(a) Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Papers shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
Borrower and Banks and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Papers without the prior written consent of each Bank,
(ii) any assignment by any Bank must be made in compliance with Section 14.10(c), and (iii) any transfer by participation must be made in compliance with Section 14.10(b). Any attempted assignment or transfer by any
party not made in compliance with this Section 14.10(a) shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with Section 14.10(b). The parties to this Agreement
acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 14.10(a) relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 14.10(a) does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (A) any
pledge or assignment by any Bank of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (B) in the case of a Bank which is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under
this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations
hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 14.10(c). Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Revolving Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes
hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 14.10(c); provided, however, that Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any
Revolving Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Revolving Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Revolving Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms
and provisions of the Loan Papers. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Revolving Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in
evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Revolving Loan. 

  
 81 

 (b) Participations. 

(i) Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”)
participating interests in any Revolving Loan owing to such Bank, any Note held by such Bank, any Commitment of such Bank or any other interest of such Bank under the Loan Papers. In the event of any such sale by a Bank of participating interests to
a Participant, such Bank’s obligations under the Loan Papers shall remain unchanged, such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Bank shall remain the owner of its
Revolving Loans and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Papers, all amounts payable by Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participating interests,
and Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under the Loan Papers. Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this
purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Revolving Loans or other obligations under
the Loan Papers (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any
information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Paper) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment,
loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as
Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (ii) Each Bank
shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Papers other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Revolving Loan or
Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all of the Banks pursuant to the terms of Section 14.5 or of any other Loan Paper. 

(iii) Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in
Section 14.4 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Papers to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Bank under the Loan Papers; provided,
that each Bank shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 14.4 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. Banks agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by
exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 14.4, 

  
 82 

 
agrees to share with each Bank, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 14.4 as if each Participant
were a Bank. Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the yield protection provisions contained in Article XIII to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
Section 14.10(c); provided, that (A) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article XIII than the Bank who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have
received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of Borrower, and (B) any Participant not incorporated under the laws of the United States of
America or any State thereof agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 13.6 to the same extent as if it were a Bank. 
 (c) Assignments. 
 (i) Any Bank may at any time
assign to one or more banks or other entities (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Papers. The parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement
(herein so called) which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit K or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank or
an Approved Fund shall either be in an amount equal to the entire applicable Commitment and Revolving Loans of the assigning Bank or (unless each of Borrower and Administrative Agent otherwise consents) be in an aggregate amount not less than
$5,000,000. The amount of the assignment shall be based on the Commitment or outstanding Revolving Loans (if the Commitment has been terminated) subject to the assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the “Effective
Date,” if the “Effective Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. 
 (ii)
The consent of Borrower shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless Purchaser is a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund, provided that the consent of Borrower shall not be required if a Default has occurred and is
continuing. The consent of Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund. The consent of Letter of Credit Issuer shall be required prior to
an assignment of a Commitment becoming effective unless Purchaser is a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund. Any consent required under this Section 14.10(c)(ii) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

(iii) Upon (A) delivery to Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, together with any consents
required by Section 14.10(c)(i) and (ii), (B) payment of a $3,500 fee to Administrative Agent for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by Administrative Agent), and (C) the Purchaser’s completed
Administrative Questionnaire, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Bank
party to this Agreement and any other Loan Paper executed by or on behalf of Banks and shall have 

  
 83 

 
all the rights and obligations of a Bank under the Loan Papers, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the transferor Bank shall be released with respect to the
Commitment and Revolving Loans assigned to such Purchaser without any further consent or action by Borrower, Banks or Administrative Agent. In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a Bank hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Papers which survive payment of the Obligations and termination of
the applicable agreement. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 14.10(c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 14.10(b). Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 14.10(c), the transferor Bank, Administrative Agent and
Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that (as applicable) new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Bank and (as applicable) new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such
Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment. 
 (iv) Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Chicago, Illinois or Dallas, Texas a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Revolving Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 (v) In no event may any Bank assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to
Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower 
 (d) Dissemination of Information. Borrower authorizes each Bank to
disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Papers by operation of law, or to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or securitization
transaction (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Bank’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, any
information contained in any financial reports; provided, that, each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 14.17 of this Agreement. 

(e) Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Paper is transferred to any Transferee which is not incorporated under the
laws of the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Bank shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 13.6(d). 

  
 84 

 Section 14.11 TEXAS LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN PAPERS SHALL
BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LAWS OF ANY STATE IN WHICH ANY PROPERTY INTENDED AS SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS IS LOCATED
NECESSARILY GOVERN (i) THE CREATION, PERFECTION AND PRIORITY OF THE LIENS IN FAVOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND BANKS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROPERTY, AND (ii) THE EXERCISE OF ANY REMEDIES (INCLUDING FORECLOSURE) WITH RESPECT TO SUCH
PROPERTY. 
 Section 14.12 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities. 

(a) Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any Texas State or Federal court sitting in the Northern District of Texas
over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Papers, and Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Texas State or
Federal court. Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the delivery by Federal Express or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service of copies of such process to such Person
at its address specified in Section 14.1. Borrower agrees that a final judgment on 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. 
 (b) Nothing in this Section 14.12 shall affect any right of Banks to serve legal process in any other manner
permitted by Law or affect the right of any Bank to bring any action or proceeding against any Credit Party or their properties in the courts of any other jurisdictions. 
 (c) To the extent that Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment,
attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such Person hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Papers. 

Section 14.13 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, this Agreement shall become effective when Administrative Agent shall have
received counterparts hereof signed by all of the parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., .pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 Section 14.14 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the
provisions hereof inuring to the benefit of Agents not a party to this Agreement, it is expressly intended that there shall be no third party beneficiaries of the covenants, agreements, representations or warranties herein contained other than third
party beneficiaries permitted pursuant to Section 14.10. 

  
 85 

 Section 14.15 COMPLETE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
PAPERS COLLECTIVELY REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG BANKS, AGENTS AND THE CREDIT PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF BANKS, AGENTS, AND THE CREDIT PARTIES. THERE ARE
NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG BANKS, AGENTS, AND THE CREDIT PARTIES. 
 Section 14.16 WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL. BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN PAPERS AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

 Section 14.17 Confidentiality. Administrative Agent and each Bank (each, a “Lending
Party”) agrees to keep confidential any information furnished or made available to it by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement that is marked confidential; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent any Lending Party from
disclosing such information (a) to any other Lending Party or any Affiliate of any Lending Party, or any officer, director, employee, agent, or advisor of any Lending Party or any Affiliate of any Lending Party, provided that any such Person
has been advised of the obligation of confidentiality contained herein and has agreed to be bound thereby, (b) to any other Person if reasonably incidental to the administration of the credit facility provided herein, provided that any such
Person has been advised of the obligation of confidentiality contained herein and has agreed to be bound thereby, (c) as required by any Law, rule or regulation, but only to the extent so required, (d) upon the order of any court or
regulatory or administrative agency or authority, but only to the extent required by such order, (e) that is or becomes available to the public or that is or becomes available to any Lending Party other than as a result of a disclosure by any
Lending Party prohibited by this Agreement, (f) in connection with any litigation to which such Lending Party or any of its affiliates may be a party relating to the Obligations or any Loan Paper, but only to the extent required by such
litigation, and provided that Borrower shall have been given at least ten (10) days prior notice before any such disclosure and that reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality thereof shall have been taken, including obtaining
protective orders, (g) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Paper, and (h) to any actual or proposed participant or assignee, or to any direct, indirect, actual or
prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction, provided that any such Person has been advised of the obligation of confidentiality contained herein and has agreed to be bound thereby. 

Section 14.18 USA Patriot Act. Each Bank hereby notifies Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name
and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act. 

Section 14.19 Secured Affiliate. For purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Papers, if a Secured Affiliate that
is not a Bank has entered into one or more Hedge Agreements 

  
 86 

 
or agreements in respect of Bank Products with any Credit Party, then to the extent that such Secured Affiliate has rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Paper, such Secured
Affiliate’s affiliated Bank shall be the agent and attorney-in-fact for such Secured Affiliate with regard to any such rights and obligations, or deemed rights and obligations, as if such Bank were the counterparty to the applicable Hedge
Agreement or agreement in respect of Bank Products including, but not limited to, the following: (a) all distributions or payments owing to such Secured Affiliate pursuant to Article III hereof or by the terms of any of the other Loan
Papers shall be distributed or paid to such Bank, and (b) all representations, warranties, statements or disclaimers made herein or in any Loan Paper to such Bank shall be deemed to have been made to such Secured Affiliate. Each such Bank
represents, warrants and covenants to and with Administrative Agent that such Bank has, or at all applicable times will have, full power and authority to act as agent and attorney-in-fact for the Secured Affiliates that are its Affiliates. Under no
circumstance shall any Secured Affiliate have any voting rights hereunder and the voting rights of any affiliated Bank shall not be increased by virtue of the obligations owing to any such Secured Affiliate. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective Authorized Officers on the day
and year first above written.
