time.” 

  
 2 

 2.3 Section 3.03(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the
reference to “clause (b)” in the fourth line thereof with “clause (b)(i)”. 
 2.4 Section 6.18(b) of the Credit

 2.5 Section 6.19(b) of the Credit
Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “(b) Without limiting the foregoing requirements set
forth in Section 6.19(a) in any manner (and subject to limitations set forth in Section 7.12), from and after December 31, 2018, the Borrower shall enter into from time to time (and thereafter, the Borrower shall maintain in

period described in the foregoing clause (i) of this Section 6.19(b) (and shall, upon request, provide to the Administrative Agent reasonable evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent demonstrating the Borrower’s compliance
with the foregoing). 
 2.6 Article X of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to include a new Section 10.20 to read as follows: 

“Section 10.20 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a
guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Transactions or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as
follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations
promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit 

  
 3 

 
Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the
United States or any other state of the United States): 
 In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a
“Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC
and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime
if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a
Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party
are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan t Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the
United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or
any QFC Credit Support.” 
 Section 3. Right to Redetermine Borrowing Base. The Borrower hereby agrees that in the event
that the Merger and the Contribution have not both been consummated on or prior to August 31, 2019, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the right (but not the obligation) to redetermine the Borrowing Base on or after
September 1, 2019, in accordance with the redetermination methodology described in the Credit Agreement, which redetermination will be in lieu of the Scheduled Redetermination for spring 2019. For the avoidance of doubt, any such
redetermination shall not constitute a Special Redetermination pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii) of the Credit Agreement. 

Section 4. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective on the date (the “Effectiveness Date”) on
which each of the following conditions is satisfied: 
 4.1 The Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment from
the Loan Parties and the Required Lenders. 
 4.2 Each of the Parent, the Borrower and each other Loan Party shall have confirmed and
acknowledged to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and by its execution and delivery of this Amendment each of the Parent, the Borrower and each other Loan Party does hereby confirm and acknowledge to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
that (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate or limited liability company action, as applicable, on the part of the Parent, the Borrower and each other Loan Party,
(b) the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party constitute valid and legally binding agreements enforceable against the each of the Parent, the Borrower and each other Loan Party in accordance with their respective
terms, except 

  
 4 

 
as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally and by general principles of equity, and (c) the representations and warranties by the each of the Parent, the Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to
which such entity is a party are true and correct on and as of the Effectiveness Date in all material respects (or if such representation or warranty is qualified by or subject to a “materiality”, “material adverse effect”,
“material adverse change” or any similar term or qualification, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) as though made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and
warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case was true and correct, in all material respects (or if such representation or warranty is qualified by or subject to a “materiality”, “material adverse effect”,
“material adverse change” or any similar term or qualification, such representation or warranty shall continue to be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, and (d) no Default or Event of Default exists under the
Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 5. Miscellaneous. 

5.1 Confirmation and Effect and No Waiver. The provisions of the Credit Agreement (as modified by this Amendment) shall remain in full
force and effect in accordance with its terms following the effectiveness of this Amendment. Each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein”, or words of like import
shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified hereby, and each reference to the Credit Agreement in any other document, instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection with the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a
reference to the Credit Agreement as modified hereby. This Amendment is a Loan Document for all purposes under the Loan Documents. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any default of the Public
Parent, the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. This Amendment
shall serve as a modification to the Credit Agreement, but shall not extinguish or novate the Loans or any other Obligation under the Credit Agreement. 

5.2 Ratification and Affirmation of Loan Parties. Each of the Loan Parties hereby expressly (a) acknowledges the terms of this
Amendment, (b) ratifies and affirms all of their respective Obligations and each of their other obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, as modified hereby, (c) acknowledges, renews and
extends its continued liability under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, as modified hereby, (d) ratifies and affirms all Liens granted by it pursuant to the Loan Documents to secure the Secured
Obligations (except to the extent that such Liens have been released in accordance with the Loan Documents) and affirms that after giving effect to this Amendment, the terms of the Security Instruments secure, and will continue to secure, all
Secured Obligations thereunder, and (e) agrees that its guarantee under the Guaranty, if applicable, and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, as modified hereby, remains in full force and effect with respect to the Obligations. 

  
 5 

 5.3 Stipulation Regarding Amendments to Become Effective Upon First Amendment
Implementation Date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Amendment shall (or shall be deemed to) supersede or otherwise modify the amendments to the Credit Agreement that will be implemented upon the First Amendment
Implementation Date (as defined in the First Amendment) pursuant to Section 2 of the First Amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the amendments to the Credit Agreement contemplated by Section 2 of the First Amendment shall become
effective and be implemented (if at all) upon the First Amendment Implementation Date in accordance with the First Amendment without regard to the provisions of this Amendment becoming effective between the First Amendment Effectiveness Date (as
defined in the First Amendment) and the First Amendment Implementation Date. 
 5.4 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of
this Amendment by facsimile or electronic (e.g., pdf) transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart hereof. 

5.5 No Oral Agreement. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT, THE CREDIT
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH AND
THEREWITH REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT
BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS
OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE
PARTIES. 
 5.6 Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT (INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY HEREOF) SHALL BE

Administrative Agent for fees and expenses in connection with this Amendment pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement. 

5.8 Severability. If any provision of this Amendment is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity
and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Amendment shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid
provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction. 
 5.9 Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns as permitted under Section 10.06 of the Credit Agreement.
