thereto that reads in its entirety as follows:

     “(n) other unsecured Indebtedness not permitted by the previous clauses in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $750,000,000 at any time outstanding; provided
that such Indebtedness (A) requires no scheduled amortization prior to the 6th
anniversary of the Closing Date and (B) is otherwise on market terms and conditions; and
provided further that during any period in which the aggregate principal amount of any
such outstanding unsecured Indebtedness permitted by this subsection (n) exceeds
$400,000,000, the Borrowing Base shall automatically be reduced by 30% of the amount of
such excess.

     (g) Section 10.06(b)(iv) of the Credit Agreement is amended by inserting after the words “a
processing and recordation fee” contained in the third line thereof the following words: “payable
by the assignor (subject to Section 10.13(a)) directly to the Administrative Agent”.

     SECTION 3. Release of Guarantee. Lariat is hereby released from any obligations as a
Guarantor under the Guaranty to the extent assumed by Lariat as the surviving party of the merger
of Lariat Compression Company with and into Lariat.

     SECTION 4. Proposal to Increase the Borrowing Base. Based on the Engineering Report and
other information concerning the businesses and properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
(including their Oil and Gas

2

 

Properties and the reserves and production relating thereto) received pursuant to Sections
2.05(b)(i) and 6.01(d) of the Credit Agreement by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(i) and 2.05(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement,
hereby proposes to the Lenders for their approval to increase the amount of the Borrowing Base from
$700,000,000 to $1,200,000,000.

     SECTION 5. Approval by Lenders. In accordance with Section 2.05(b)(iii) of the Credit
Agreement, the undersigned Lenders hereby approve the new amount of the Borrowing Base as proposed
by the Administrative Agent under Section 3 above.

     SECTION 6. Increase in Aggregate Commitments.

     (a) On the effective date of the increase of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Amendment,
(i) the Aggregate Commitments shall be increased from $750,000,000 to $1,750,000,000, (ii) each
Person listed on the signature pages hereof which is not a party to the Agreement (a “New Lender”)
shall become a Lender party to the Agreement and (iii) the Commitment and Applicable Percentage of
each Lender shall be reset and shall equal to such amounts and percentages set forth opposite such
Lender’s name on Schedule A attached hereto (such Commitments and Applicable Percentages as so
reset, the “Reset Commitments”).

     (b) On the effective date of the Reset Commitments pursuant to this Amendment:

     (i) Committed Loans outstanding on such effective date shall be reallocated among the
Lenders by way of assignment and assumption in accordance with Section 7 hereof, such that
all outstanding Committed Loans are held by the Lenders in proportion to their respective
Reset Commitments; and

     (ii) the participations in all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be determined such
that all L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Reset
Commitments.

     (c) For the avoidance of doubt, Section 6(b) and Section 7 are intended to effect a
reallocation of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the Reset Commitments, and nothing in this
Amendment shall be deemed to constitute a novation of the credit facility under the Credit
Agreement or of the Loans thereunder, and shall not impair in any respect any Lien securing the
Obligations.

     SECTION 7. Assignment and Assumption.

     (a) On and effective as of the Effective Date (and subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 13(b)) (A) each Lender with an amount opposite its

3

 

name under the column “Assigned Amount” on Schedule A (each such Lender, an “Assignor” and
each such amount, the “Assigned Amount”) hereby irrevocably assigns and sells to Assignees (as
defined below) an amount of its Loans equal to the Assigned Amount and (B) each Lender with an
amount opposite its name under the column “Assumed Amount” on Schedule A (each such Lender, an
“Assignee” and each such amount, the “Assumed Amount”) hereby severally irrevocably purchases and
assumes an amount of Loans from Assignors in an aggregate amount for all assumptions made by each
Assignee equal to its Assumed Amount.

     (b) Each Assignor hereby makes the representations and warranties that are provided for in
Section 1.1 of the Standard Terms and Conditions to the form Assignment & Acceptance set forth in
Exhibit E of the Credit Agreement with respect to its Assigned Amount (as though it were the
“Assigned Interest” thereunder). Each Assignee hereby makes such representations and warranties
that are provided for in Section 1.2 of the Standard Terms and Conditions to the form Assignment &
Acceptance set forth in Exhibit E of the Credit Agreement with respect to its Assumed Amount (as
though it were the “Assigned Interest” thereunder). Each of the parties to this Amendment agrees
that the assignments and assumptions provided for in this Section 7 comply with the requirements
for an assignment and assumption of Loans under Section 10.06 of the Credit Agreement,
notwithstanding the formal requirements set forth therein, and that the processing and recordation
fee provided for in Section 10.06(b)(iv) of the Credit Agreement shall not be payable.

     (c) Not later than 12:00 Noon (Dallas time) on the Effective Date, each Assignee shall make
available the full amount of its Assumed Amount in Federal or other funds immediately available in
New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address specified in or pursuant to Section 10.02
of the Credit Agreement. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition
specified in Section 13(b) has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent will make the funds so
received from the Assignees available to the Assignors, as consideration for and in ratable
proportion to their respective Assigned Amounts.

     SECTION 8. Fee. On the Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender with an Exposure Increase (as defined below) a fee equal to (i) for
each Lender with an Exposure Increase of $25,000,000 or more, 0.20% of such Lender’s Exposure
Increase and (ii) for each Lender with an Exposure Increase of less than $25,000,000, 0.15% of such
Lender’s Exposure Increase. As used above, the “Exposure Increase” of any Lender is the amount (if
any) by which (x) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage multiplied by the Borrowing Base, in each
case determined immediately after giving effect to any changes thereto on the Effective Date
exceeds (y) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage multiplied by the Borrowing Base, in each case
determined immediately before the Effective Date.

     SECTION 9. Reaffirmation of Guarantee and Security. Each Loan Party (i) consents to this
Amendment, (ii) affirms that (A) the terms of the Guaranty guarantee, and shall continue to
guarantee, all of the Obligations and (B) the terms of the Security Agreement secure, and shall
continue to secure, all of the Obligations, in each case after giving effect to this Amendment and
(iii) acknowledges and agrees that after giving effect to this Amendment, the Guaranty, the
Security Agreement and all other Loan Documents are, and shall continue to be, in full force and
effect, unimpaired or affected in any respect by this Amendment and the transactions contemplated
hereby, and are hereby ratified in all respects.

     SECTION 10. Representations of the Borrower. The Borrower represents and warrants that,
both before and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment in whole or in part pursuant to
Section 9 hereof, (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Article V of the Credit
Agreement will be true and correct and (ii) no Default will have occurred and be continuing.

     SECTION 11. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.

     SECTION 12. Counterparts. This Amendment 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

Amendment by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement.

     SECTION 13. Effectiveness.

     (a) The amendments to the Credit Agreement set forth in Section 2, the release of the
Guarantee pursuant to Section 3 and reaffirmation of the guaranty and security pursuant to Section
9 of this Amendment shall become effective on and as of the date hereof provided that the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof signed by each of the Required Lenders
and each Loan Party.

     (b) The increase in the amount of the Borrowing Base and the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to
Sections 4 through 6 and other amendments and transactions contemplated by Sections 4 through 8 of
this Amendment, shall become effective on and as of the date hereof (the “Effective Date”),
provided that the Administrative Agent shall have received the following, each of which shall be

executed by a Responsible Officer of the signing Loan Party, each dated the Effective Date (or, in
the case of certificates of governmental officials, a recent date before the Effective Date) and

party;

     (iii) such documents and certifications as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
require to evidence that each Loan Party is duly organized or formed, and is validly
existing, in good standing and qualified to engage in business in each jurisdiction where

such qualification, except to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

     (iv) a favorable opinion of Vinson and Elkins LLP, counsel to the Loan Parties,
addressed to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as to the matters set forth in the
opinion letter of Vinson & Elkins LLP dated November 21, 2006, delivered in connection
with the Credit Agreement, in each case after giving effect to this Amendment and the
transactions contemplated hereby;

     (v) a certificate of a Responsible Officer of each Loan Party either (A) attaching
copies, or an exhibit, of all consents, licenses and approvals required in connection with
the execution, delivery and performance by such Loan Party and the validity against such
Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and such consents, licenses and
approvals shall be in full force and effect, or (B) stating that no such consents,
licenses or approvals are so required;

     (vi) a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying (A)
that the conditions specified in Sections 4.02(b) and (c) of the Credit Agreement have
been satisfied and (B) that there has been no event or circumstance since December 31,
2007 that has had or could be reasonably expected to have, either individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect;

     (vii) certificates attesting to the Solvency of each Loan Party before and after
giving effect to this Amendment and the incurrence of indebtedness under the Credit
Agreement, from its chief financial officer;

6

     (i) evidence that counterparts of all necessary amendments to Mortgages as well as
all affidavits regarding the change in the name and organization of the mortgagors have
been duly executed, acknowledged and delivered and have been duly filed or recorded in all
filing or recording offices that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary in order to
preserve a valid first and subsisting Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) on the property
described therein in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties and that all filing, documentary, stamp, intangible and recording taxes and fees
have been paid; and

     (ii) evidence that all other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem
necessary or desirable in order to preserve valid first and subsisting Liens (subject to
Permitted Liens) on the property described in the Mortgages has been taken.
