2.3    Amendment to Section 9.02(f).  Section 9.02(f) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(f)    Debt under any Senior Notes issued after the Effective Date, provided that (i) at the time of incurring such Debt (A) no Default has occurred and is then continuing, (B) no Default would result from the incurrence of such Debt after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt (and any concurrent repayment of Debt with the proceeds of such incurrence) and (C) the Borrower shall be in Pro Forma Compliance, (ii) such Debt does not have any scheduled amortization prior to one year after the Maturity Date, (iii) such Debt does not mature sooner than one year after the Maturity Date, (iv) the terms of such Debt are not materially more onerous, taken as a whole, than the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (v) the Borrowing Base is adjusted as contemplated by Section 2.07(f) and the Borrower makes any prepayment required under Section 3.04(c)(iii) and (vi) the aggregate stated principal amount (without regard to initial issue discount) of all Senior Notes issued or incurred on or after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date pursuant to this Section 9.02(f) shall not exceed the sum of (A) $300,000,000 plus (B) the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes Redeemed pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(i)(a) on or after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.

2.4.    Amendment to Section 9.04(b)(i)(b).  Section 9.04(b)(i)(b) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “(b) so long as both before and immediately after giving effect to each such Redemption, (1) the Borrower has unused Commitments of not less than 20% of the Borrowing Base then in effect and (2) the Borrower shall be in Pro Forma Compliance, or”.

Section 3.    Reduction of Borrowing Base.  For the period from and including the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (as defined below) to but excluding the next Redetermination Date, the amount of the Borrowing Base shall be $700,000,000.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowing Base may be subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to Section 2.07(e), Section 2.07(f), Section 8.13(c), Section 9.12(d) or Section 9.12(e).  For the avoidance of doubt, this Borrowing Base reduction (a) shall not constitute an Interim Redetermination elected by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders and (b) shall be in addition to the April 1, 2015 Scheduled Redetermination.

Section 4.    Conditions Precedent.  This Fourth Amendment shall not become effective until the date on which each of the following conditions is satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 12.02 of the Credit Agreement) (the “Fourth Amendment Effective Date”):

4.1    The Administrative Agent shall have received from the Required Lenders, the Borrower and the Guarantors, counterparts (in such number as may be requested by the Administrative Agent) of this Fourth Amendment signed on behalf of such Person.
4.2    The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received all fees and other amounts due and payable on or prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.

Page 3

4.3    No Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.
4.4    The Administrative Agent shall have received such other documents as the Administrative Agent or its special counsel may reasonably require.
The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed to declare this Fourth Amendment to be effective when it has received documents confirming or certifying, to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, compliance with the conditions set forth in this Section 4 or the waiver of such conditions as permitted in Section 12.02 of the Credit Agreement.  Such declaration shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties to the Credit Agreement for all purposes.
Section 5.  Miscellaneous.
5.1    Confirmation.  The provisions of the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Fourth Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect following the effectiveness of this Fourth Amendment.
5.2    Ratification and Affirmation; Representations and Warranties.  Each Obligor hereby (a) acknowledges the terms of this Fourth Amendment; (b) ratifies and affirms its obligations under, and acknowledges its continued liability under, each Loan Document to which it is a party and agrees that each Loan Document to which it is a party remains in full force and effect as expressly amended hereby; (c) represents and warrants to the Lenders that as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the terms of this Fourth Amendment:  (i) all of the representations and warranties contained in each Loan Document to which it is a party are true and correct, except to the extent any such representations and warranties are expressly limited to an earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall continue to be true and correct as of such specified earlier date, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (iii) no event or events have occurred which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (d) agrees that from and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date each reference to the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Fourth Amendment.
5.3    Counterparts.  This Fourth Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts, and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of this Fourth Amendment by telecopy, facsimile, email or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
5.4    No Oral Agreement.  This Fourth Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith and therewith represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or unwritten oral agreements of the parties.  There are no subsequent oral agreements between the parties.
5.5    GOVERNING LAW.  THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

Page 4

5.6    Payment of Expenses.  In accordance with Section 12.03 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with this Fourth Amendment, any other documents prepared in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent.
5.7    Severability.  Any provision of this Fourth Amendment which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
5.8    Successors and Assigns.  This Fourth Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
