			SEPARATION AGREEMENT
		

		
			This Separation Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 13, 2018, by and between Craig E. Holmes (“Executive”) and Global Power Equipment Group Inc. (the “Company”).  The Company and Executive are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.”
		

		
			WHEREAS, Executive and the Company have determined to provide for the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the mutual promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
		

		
			1.          Termination of Employment; Resignations.  Effective as of April 13, 2018 (the “Separation Date”), Executive’s employment with the Company and its affiliates (including, without limitation, as Co-President and Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company) shall terminate and Executive shall cease to be an employee and officer of any and all of the foregoing.  In addition, as of the Separation Date, Executive shall, and by execution of this Agreement he does, resign from any and all directorships Executive may hold with the Company or any of its affiliates, including from the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).  Executive hereby agrees to execute any and all additional documentation the Company may deem necessary or appropriate to effectuate such resignations upon request by the Company, but he shall be treated for all purposes as having so resigned upon the Separation Date, regardless of when or whether he executes any such additional documentation.  As used in this Agreement, the term “affiliate” means any entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control with, the Company. Effective the Separation Date, Executive hereby resigns from all positions that he holds or has ever held with the Company and his affiliates.
		

		
			2.          Accrued Benefits.  The Company shall pay or provide to Executive the following payments and benefits:
		

		
			(a)         Salary and Vacation Pay.  By the next regular payroll date after the Separation Date (or such earlier date as required by law), the Company shall issue to Executive his final paycheck, reflecting (i) his earned but unpaid base salary through the Separation Date, and (ii) his accrued but unused vacation pay through the Separation Date.
		

		
			(b)         Expense Reimbursements.  The Company, within 30 calendar days after the Separation Date, shall reimburse Executive for any and all reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the performance of his duties prior to the Separation Date, which expenses shall be submitted by Executive to the Company with supporting receipts and/or documentation no later than 15 calendar days after the Separation Date.
		

		
			3.          Severance Benefits.  If and only if (x) Executive executes the release attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Release”) and (y) the Release becomes irrevocable pursuant to its terms, the Company shall pay or provide to Executive the following payments and benefits:
		

		
			(a)         Salary Continuation.  The Company shall pay to Executive an amount equal to 18 months of Executive’s annual base salary (i.e., a total of $675,000) payable at the same times and in the same increments as if Executive’s employment continued from the Separation Date through the 18 month anniversary of the Separation Date, except that any payments that would otherwise be made between the Separation Date and the date that the Release becomes effective and irrevocable (the “Release Date”) will
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			

		 

 

		

		
			be accumulated and paid, without interest, on the first regularly scheduled payroll date falling on or after the Release Date.
		

		
			(b)         2017 Short-Term Incentive.  The Company shall pay to Executive an amount equal to $253,260, which represents 75.04% of his “target” short-term incentive for the 2017 fiscal year, in six equal monthly installments (without interest) on the last day of each month commencing April 30, 2018 and ending September 30, 2018 (with any unpaid installments accelerated on a “Change in Control”, as defined in the Employment Agreement between Executive and the Company dated September 11, 2017 (the “Employment Agreement”)), which amount shall be in lieu of any amounts otherwise due under the 2017 short-term incentive program.  On or before April 30, 2018, the Company shall pay to Executive the remaining 24.96% of his “target” short-term incentive for the 2017 fiscal year.
		

		
			(c)         2018 Short-Term Incentive.  The Company shall pay to Executive an amount equal to $337,500, which represents his “target” short-term incentive for the 2018 fiscal year, on the first regularly scheduled payroll date falling on or after the earlier of the following dates:  (i) December 14, 2018, or (ii) the date that a Change in Control occurs, which amount shall be in lieu of any amounts otherwise due under the 2018 short-term incentive program.
		

		
			(d)         Equity Awards.  All outstanding and unvested restricted share units held by Executive as of the Separation Date (the “RSUs”) shall vest in full (with any specified performance objectives with respect to such outstanding awards deemed to be satisfied at the “target” level) on the Separation Date and will be paid to Executive within 10 calendar days after the Release Date.  The Parties acknowledge that pursuant to the terms of the applicable equity plan, Executive may elect on a form provided by the Company, and subject to any terms and conditions imposed by the Company, to have the minimum required tax withholding obligation related to the payout of the vested RSUs satisfied either via a net share withholding method authorized by the applicable equity plan or by Executive paying the required tax withholding to the Company (and if the Company shall fail to provide such election form to Executive within 20 calendar days prior to the scheduled payout date of the vested RSUs, then Executive shall have the right to notify the Company in writing, no later than 10 calendar days prior to payout, regarding the elected withholding method).
		

		
			(e)         Health Insurance.  If Executive timely elects continued health and dental coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay Executive’s full cost of his COBRA premiums to continue his coverage (including coverage for his eligible dependents, if applicable) (the “COBRA Premiums”) for the 1 year period commencing on May 1, 2018 (the “COBRA Premium Period”).  The COBRA Premium Period runs concurrently with the twelve months ending April 30, 2019; provided that Executive may elect to pay for the last six months of the 18-month COBRA continuation period.  During the COBRA Premium Period, an amount equal to the applicable COBRA Premiums (or such other amounts as may be required by law) will be included in Executive’s income for tax purposes to the extent required by applicable law and the Company may withhold taxes from Executive’s other compensation for this purpose.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive becomes re-employed with another employer and is eligible to receive substantially equivalent health benefits under another employer-provided plan, then the Company’s payment obligations and Executive’s right to the subsidized premium payments as described in this Section 3(e) shall cease.
		

		
			(f)         Attorneys’ Fees. The Company shall reimburse Executive for the reasonable attorneys’ fees he incurred in connection with the negotiation, implementation, and documentation of this Agreement and other arrangements relating to his employment with the Company, which reimbursement shall be payable in a single lump sum no later than 90 calendar days after the Separation Date, provided that Executive submits the reimbursement request to the Company in writing, with supporting
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			2

		

 

		

		
			documentation, no later than 20 calendar days after the Separation Date, and in no event shall the Company reimburse attorneys’ fees in excess of $10,000.
		

		
			4.          Release of Claims.  Executive shall execute and deliver the Release to the Company within 21 calendar days following the Separation Date (the “Release Period”).  If Executive fails to execute and deliver the Release to the Company during the Release Period, or if the Release is revoked by Executive before it has become irrevocable pursuant to its terms, Executive will not be entitled to any payment or benefit under Section 3 of this Agreement.
		

		
			5.          Employment Agreement.  Executive acknowledges that the payments and arrangements contained in this Agreement shall constitute full and complete satisfaction of any and all payments and benefits to which Executive may be entitled as a result of his employment with the Company and the termination thereof.  Executive agrees that, as of the Separation Date, this Agreement supersedes and replaces the severance terms of the Employment Agreement and that, provided the Company observes its obligations under this Agreement, the Company has no further obligations to make any payments or provide any benefits to Executive under the terms of the Employment Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive and the Company each acknowledge and agree that the following terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement remain in effect, as modified below:
		

		
			(a)         Section 2(g), Compensation Recovery Policy, provided the Company represents that, as of the Separation Date, no act of fraud or misconduct has been brought to the attention of the Board that could trigger or potentially trigger application of the Compensation Recovery Policy;
		

		
			(b)         Section 3(f), Indemnification and Insurance; provided that (i) the Company shall not propose any limitation of indemnification in the Articles or Bylaws that would limit or reduce Executive’s indemnification protections as in effect on the Separation Date, and (ii) the Company shall deliver copies of any new D&O policies, endorsements, extensions or tail polices to Executive upon receipt from the carrier;
		

		
			(c)         Section 5(a)(ii), the “Change in Control” definition and “Business Combination” definition;
		

		
			(d)         Section 5(e), Section 280G;
		

		
			(e)         Section 7, Work Product;
		

		
			(f)         Section 8, Confidential Information;
		

		
			(g)         Section 9, Non-compete, non-solicitation;
		

		
			(h)         Section 10, Remedies; and
		

		
			(i)          Section 11, Cooperation in Investigations and Proceedings; provided that Executive shall also perform consulting services for the Company for up to one month, as requested by the Chief Executive Officer, for the hourly rate set forth in Section 11.
		

		
			6.          Compensation Recovery Policy.  Executive acknowledges that he shall remain subject
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			3

		

 

		

		
			to the provisions of the Compensation Recoupment Policy Acknowledgement and Agreement and the related Compensation Recovery Policy (the “Policy”) between the Company and the Executive, dated September 14, 2015, as in effect on the Separation Date, which agreement and Policy shall survive and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of Executive’s employment and shall be applicable to payments made and to be made by the Company to Executive under either of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.  The Parties acknowledge that, on and after the Separation Date, the Company may not amend or modify the Policy in a manner that adversely affects Executive, unless the Company determines in good faith that such amendment or modification is required in order to comply with applicable laws or exchange listing requirements.
		

		
			7.          Return of Property.  By not later than the Separation Date, Executive shall return to the Company all items of Company property previously in his possession, including without limitation, keys, credit cards, telephone calling cards, computer hardware and software, cellular and portable telephone equipment, manuals, books, notebooks, financial statements, reports and other documents.  For the avoidance of doubt, Executive is entitled to retain his personal cell phone and cellular telephone number.
		

		
			8.          Non-Disparagement.
		

		
			(a)         Executive agrees that he will not do or say anything that could reasonably be expected to disparage or impact negatively the name or reputation in the marketplace of the Company or any of its affiliates, employees, officers, directors, stockholders, members, principals or assigns.  Subject to Executive’s continuing obligations to comply with Section 8 (Confidential Information) of the Employment Agreement as provided herein, nothing in this Section 8 shall preclude Executive from responding truthfully to any legal process or truthfully testifying in a legal or regulatory proceeding, provided that, to the extent permitted by law, Executive promptly informs the Company of any such obligation prior to participating in any such proceedings.
		

		
			(b)         The Company agrees that it will not release any information or make any statements, and its officers and directors shall not do or say anything that could reasonably be expected to disparage or impact negatively the name or reputation in the marketplace of Executive.  Nothing herein shall preclude the Company or any of its affiliates, employees, officers, directors, stockholders, members, principals or assigns from responding truthfully to any legal process or truthfully testifying in a legal or regulatory proceeding, provided that to the extent permitted by law, the Company will promptly inform Executive in advance if it has reason to believe such response or testimony will directly relate to Executive, or preclude the Company from complying with applicable disclosure requirements.
		

		
			9.          Miscellaneous.
		

		
			(a)         Section 409A.  The intent of the Parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) or are exempt therefrom and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.  If Executive notifies the Company (with specificity as to the reason therefor) that Executive believes that any provision of this Agreement would cause Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A and the Company concurs with such belief or the Company (without any obligation whatsoever to do so) independently makes such determination, the Company shall, after consulting with Executive, reform such provision in a manner that is economically neutral to the Company to attempt to comply with Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Section 409A.  The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the payments and benefits due to Executive under Section 3 above are payable or provided on account of Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, (ii) the payments and benefits under this Agreement are intended to be treated as separate payments for purposes of
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			4

		

 

		

		
			Section 409A, and (iii) Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any payment under this Agreement that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A shall be paid no earlier than (1) the date that is six months after the date of Executive’s separation from service for any reason other than death, or (2) the date of Executive’s death.  In no event may Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment under this Agreement.
		

		
			(b)         Withholding.  The Company or its affiliates, as applicable, may withhold from any amounts payable or benefits provided under this Agreement such Federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes, interest and penalties that may be imposed on Executive in connection with this Agreement (including any taxes, interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor its affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold Executive harmless from any or all of such taxes, interest or penalties.
		

		
			(c)         Severability.  In construing this Agreement, if any portion of this Agreement shall be found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be given effect to the maximum extent permitted without considering the void, invalid or unenforceable provision.
		

		
			(d)         Successors.  This Agreement is personal to Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by Executive other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s surviving spouse, heirs, and legal representatives.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its affiliates, and their respective successors and assigns.
		

		
			(e)         Final and Entire Agreement; Amendment.  This Agreement (including is exhibits), together with the Release and the surviving portions of the Employment Agreement, represents the final and entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations and discussions between the Parties hereto and/or their respective counsel with respect to the subject matter hereof.  Any amendment to this Agreement must be in writing, signed by duly authorized representatives of the Parties, and stating the intent of the Parties to amend this Agreement.
		

		
			(f)         Representation By Counsel.  Each of the Parties acknowledges that it or he has had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel of its or his choice prior to the execution of this Agreement and the Release.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Executive acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to consult with his own independent legal counsel to review this Agreement for purposes of compliance with the requirements of Section 409A or an exemption therefrom, and that he is relying solely on the advice of his independent legal counsel for such purposes.  Moreover, the Parties acknowledge that they have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the Release.  If any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement and the Release shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
		

		
			(g)         Governing Law; Jurisdiction.  This Agreement and the Release shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to conflict of laws principles.  Each Party (i) agrees that any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Executive’s employment by the Company shall be brought exclusively in the state courts located in
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			5

		

 

		

		
			Dallas County, Texas and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (Dallas Division), (ii) accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of those courts, and (iii) irrevocably waives any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any action in those jurisdictions.   EACH PARTY WAIVES ITS OR HIS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ALL CLAIMS REGARDING, OR ARISING UNDER, THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.  The Parties further agree that the prevailing party (by judgment, court order or negotiated private settlement) in any action to enforce its or his rights under this Agreement shall be entitled to recover payment from the non-prevailing party of the prevailing party’s reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees, as well as expert witness fees and expenses, incurred in connection with any such action.
		

		
			(h)         Notices.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by hand delivery or overnight courier to the other Party or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier, addressed as follows:

			(i)          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by means of facsimile or other electronic transmission), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one original instrument.

			2.          Payments and Benefits.  Upon the effectiveness of the terms set forth herein, the Company shall provide Executive with the payments and benefits (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”) set forth in Section 3 of the Separation Agreement between Executive and the Company dated as of April 13, 2018 (the “Separation Agreement”), upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the Separation Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, Executive acknowledges that unless and until this Release becomes effective and irrevocable pursuant to its terms, he will not be entitled to receive any of the Severance Benefits.
		

		
			3.          No Liability.  This Release does not constitute an admission by the Company or its affiliates or their respective officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees, or by Executive, of any unlawful acts or of any violation of federal, state or local laws.
		

		
			4.          Release.  In consideration of the Severance Benefits, Executive for himself, his heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns (collectively, “Releasors”) does hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge the Company, its respective affiliates and their respective successors and assigns (the “Company Group”) and each of its officers, directors, partners, agents, and former and current employees, including without limitation all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with any of them (collectively, “Releasees”), and each of them, from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, costs, expenses, attorney fees, and all liability whatsoever, whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, which Executive has, had, or may ever have against the Releasees relating to or arising out of Executive’s employment or separation from employment with the Company Group, from the beginning of time and up to and including the date Executive executes this Release.

Executive acknowledges that as of the date he signs this Release, he may have certain rights or claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. §626 and he voluntarily relinquishes any such rights or claims by signing this Release.
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, nothing herein shall release the Company Group from (i) any obligation under, or continued or preserved by, the Separation Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2 or Section 3 of the Separation Agreement; (ii) any obligation to provide benefit entitlements under any Company benefit or welfare plan that were vested as of the Separation Date; and (iii) any rights or claims that relate to events or circumstances that occur after the date that Executive executes this Release.
		

		
			5.          Claims Released by the Company.  In consideration for receiving Executive’s release hereunder, the Company, on behalf of itself and the other Releasees, and each of them, does hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge Executive from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, costs, expenses, attorney fees, and all liability whatsoever, whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, which the Company has, had, or may ever have against Executive relating to or arising out of Executive’s employment or separation from employment with the Company Group, from the beginning of time and up to and including the date the Company executes this Release.  This Release includes, without limitation, (a) law or equity claims; (b) contract (express or implied), tort claims or strict liability; (c) claims for wrongful discharge, retaliatory discharge, whistle blowing, libel, slander, defamation, unpaid compensation, wage and hour law violations, intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraud, public policy contract or tort, and implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, whether based in common law or any federal, state or local statute; (d) claims under or associated with any of the Company Group’s equity compensation plans or arrangements; or (e) claims arising under any federal, state, or local laws of any jurisdiction that prohibit age, sex, race, national origin, color, disability, religion, veteran, military status, sexual orientation, or any other form of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation.
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, nothing herein shall release Executive from (i) any act that constitutes a criminal act under any Federal, state or local law committed or perpetuated by Executive with respect to the Company or its affiliates during the course of Executive’s employment with the Company or its affiliates or thereafter prior to the execution date of this Release (including any criminal act of fraud, material misappropriation of funds or embezzlement, or any other criminal action); (ii) any act of fraud or other criminal misconduct committed by Executive in connection with his employment with the Company or thereafter prior to the execution date of this Release; or (iii) Executive’s continuing obligations under the Employment Agreement or Separation Agreement.
		

		
			6.          Bar.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that if he should hereafter make any claim or demand or commence or threaten to commence any action, claim or proceeding against the Releasees with respect to any cause, matter or thing which is the subject of the release under Section 4 of this Release, this Release may be raised as a complete bar to any such action, claim or proceeding, and the applicable Releasee may recover from Executive all costs incurred in connection with such action, claim or proceeding, including attorneys’ fees, along with the Severance Benefits.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that if it should hereafter make any claim or demand or commence or threaten to commence any action, claim or proceeding against Executive with respect to any cause, matter or thing which is the subject of the release under Section 5 of this Release, this Release may be raised as a complete bar to any
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			A-2

		

 

		

		
			such action, claim or proceeding, and Executive may recover from the Company all costs incurred in connection with such action, claim or proceeding, including attorneys’ fees.
		

		
			7.          Right to Engage in Protected Activity.  Nothing contained in this Release limits Executive’s ability to file a charge or complaint with any federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (a “Government Agency”).  In addition, nothing in this Release, the Separation Agreement (including Section 5 or Section 8(a) of the Separation Agreement) or Employment Agreement or any other Company agreement, policy, practice, procedure, directive or instruction shall prohibit Executive from reporting possible violations of federal, state or local laws or regulations to any Government Agency or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal, state or local laws or regulations.  Executive does not need prior authorization of any kind to make any such reports or disclosures and Executive is not required to notify the Company that Executive has made such reports or disclosures.  If Executive files any charge or complaint with any Government Agency, and if the Government Agency pursues any claim on Executive’s behalf, or if any other third party pursues any claim on Executive’s behalf, Executive waives any right to monetary or other individualized relief (either individually, or as part of any collective or class action) from the Releasees that arises out of alleged facts or circumstances on or before the effective date of this Release; provided that nothing in this Release or the Separation Agreement limits any right Executive may have to receive a whistleblower award or bounty for information provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission or other Government Agency.
		

		
			8.          Governing Law; Venue.  This Release shall be governed, construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflicts of law principles.  Venue for purposes of this Release shall be the same as that in the Separation Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.3(a) or in the definition of “Capital Lease” or “Capitalized Lease Obligations,” in the event of an accounting change requiring certain operating leases to be
capitalized, only those leases (assuming for purposes hereof that such leases were in existence on the date hereof) that would constitute capital leases in conformity with GAAP on the date hereof shall be considered capital leases, and all
calculations and deliverables under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made or delivered, as applicable, in accordance therewith. For this purpose, FASB ASC 842 shall constitute an accounting change regardless of when implemented
and shall not be given effect. 
 1.4 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained or complied with by the Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than
the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number). 

1.5 References to Agreements, Laws, Etc. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) references to organizational documents,
agreements (including the Credit Documents) and other Contractual Requirements shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, amendment and restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications thereto, but only to the
extent that such amendments, restatements, amendment and restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications are permitted by any Credit Document and (b) references to any Requirement of Law shall include all statutory and regulatory
provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such Requirement of Law. 

  
 38 

 1.6 Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall
be references to Central time (daylight or standard, as applicable). 
 1.7 Timing of Payment or Performance. When the payment of any
obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in Section 2.9) or
performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day. 
 1.8 Currency Equivalents Generally. 

(a) For purposes of any determination under Section 9, Section 10 (other than
Section 10.11) or Section 11 or any determination under any other provision of this Agreement requiring the use of a current exchange rate, all amounts incurred, outstanding or proposed to be
incurred or outstanding in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the Exchange Rate then in effect on the date of such determination; provided, however, that (x) for purposes of determining compliance
with Section 10 with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Investment, Disposition, Restricted Payment or payment under Section 10.7 in a currency other than Dollars, no Default or Event of
Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred or Disposition, Restricted Payment or payment under
Section 10.7 is made, (y) for purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, if such Indebtedness is incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated
in a foreign currency, and such Refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such Refinancing, such Dollar-denominated restriction
shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinanced Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced and (z) for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of
this Section 1.8 shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness or Investment may be incurred or Disposition, Restricted Payment or payment under
Section 10.7 may be made at any time under such Sections. For purposes of Section 10.11, amounts in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the applicable exchange rates
used in preparing the most recently delivered financial statements pursuant to Section 9.1(a) or (b). 
 (b)
Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify with the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to appropriately
reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency. 
 1.9
Classification of Loans and Borrowings. For purposes of this Agreement, Loans may be classified and referred to by Type (e.g., a “LIBOR Loan”). 

1.10 Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with
respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor. 

  
 39 

 SECTION 2. Amount and Terms of Credit 

2.1 Commitments. 
 (a)
Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make Loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower, which Loans (i) shall be made at any time and from time to time on and after the
Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date, (ii) may, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or LIBOR Loans; provided that all Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the
same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Loans of the same Type, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not, for any Lender at any time, after
giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in such Lender’s Total Exposure at such time exceeding such Lender’s Commitment Percentage at such time of the Loan Limit and (v) shall not, after giving
effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in the aggregate amount of all Lenders’ Total Exposures at such time exceeding the Loan Limit. 

(b) Each Lender may at its option make any LIBOR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan,
provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan and (ii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize any increased costs to the
Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of the Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it determines would
be otherwise disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.10 shall apply). 

2.2 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing shall be in a
minimum amount of at least $1,000,000 and in a multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (except for any Borrowing in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of aggregate Commitments and Loans to reimburse the Letter of Credit
Issuers with respect to any Unpaid Drawing shall be made in the amounts required by Sections 3.3 or 3.4, as applicable). More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any date; provided, that at no time shall
there be outstanding more than ten Borrowings of LIBOR Loans under this Agreement. 
 2.3 Notice of Borrowing. 

(a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Loans (other than borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings), the Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, (i) prior to 1:00 p.m. (Central time) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing by hand delivery, telecopy or electronic
mail) of each Borrowing of Loans if such Loans are to be initially LIBOR Loans (or prior to 9:00 a.m. (Central time) two Business Days’ prior written notice in the case of a Borrowing of Loans to be made on the Closing Date initially as
LIBOR Loans) and (ii) written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) prior to 12:00 noon (Central time) on the date of each Borrowing of Loans that are to be ABR Loans. Such notice (a “Notice of
Borrowing”) shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (B) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (C) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of
ABR Loans and/or LIBOR Loans and, if LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto (if no Interest Period is selected, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration) and
(D) the amount of the then effective Borrowing Base, the current aggregate Total Exposures (without regard to the requested Borrowing) of all Lenders and the pro forma aggregate Total Exposures (giving effect to the requested Borrowing) of all
Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing of Loans, of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof and of the other matters
covered by the related Notice of Borrowing. 

  
 40 

 (b) Borrowings to reimburse Unpaid Drawings shall be made upon the notice specified in
Section 3.4(a). 
 (c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any notice
it may give hereunder by telephone, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized
Officer of the Borrower. 
 2.4 Disbursement of Funds. 

(a) No later than 1:00 p.m. (Central time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its pro rata
portion of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below; provided that on the Closing Date, such funds shall be made available by 10:00 a.m. (Central time) or such earlier time as may be agreed among the
Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent for the purpose of consummating the Transactions. 
 (b) Each Lender shall make available
all amounts it is to fund to the Borrower under any Borrowing in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars, and the Administrative Agent will (except in the case of Borrowings to
repay Unpaid Drawings) make available to the Borrower, by depositing or wiring to an account as designated by the Borrower in the Borrowing Notice to the Administrative Agent the aggregate of the amounts so made available in Dollars. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any
obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available such amount to the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent in Dollars. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may
be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent,
at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Overnight Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the
respective Loans. 
 (c) Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to
fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder). 
 2.5 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 

(a) The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, on the Maturity Date, the then
outstanding principal amount of all Loans. 

  
 41 

 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending
office from time to time under this Agreement. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register
pursuant to Section 13.6(b), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of each Loan made and the
Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts
maintained pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of
the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner
affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto. In
such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 13.6) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns. 

2.6 Conversions and Continuations. 

(a) Subject to the penultimate sentence of this clause (a), (i) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business
Day to convert all or a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof) of the outstanding principal amount of Loans of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and (ii) the Borrower shall
have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period; provided that (A) no partial conversion of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding
principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than $1,000,000, (B) ABR Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Administrative Agent has or
the Majority Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion, (C) LIBOR Loans may not be continued as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the
proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, and (D) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this
Section 2.6 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
Agent’s Office prior to 1:00 p.m. (Central time) at least (1) three Business Days’, in the case of a continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans or (2) the date of conversion, in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans, prior
written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted

  
 42 

 
into or continued and, if such Loans are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto (if no Interest Period is selected, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration). The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its
Loans. 
 (b) If any Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any LIBOR Loans and the Administrative
Agent has or the Majority Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current Interest Period into ABR Loans. If upon the
expiration of any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in clause (a) above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to
convert such Borrowing of LIBOR Loans into a Borrowing of ABR Loans, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower may deliver a Notice of Conversion or Continuation pursuant to which the
Borrower elects to irrevocably continue the outstanding principal amount of any Loans subject to an interest rate Hedge Agreement as LIBOR Loans for each Interest Period until the expiration of the term of such applicable Hedge Agreement; provided
that any Notice of Conversion or Continuation delivered pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) shall include a schedule attaching the relevant interest rate Hedge Agreement or related trade confirmation. 

2.7 Pro Rata Borrowings. Each Borrowing of Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then
applicable Commitment Percentages. It is understood that (a) no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender severally but not jointly shall be obligated to make
the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and (b) failure by a Lender to perform any of its obligations under any of the Credit Documents shall not release
any Person from performance of its obligation under any Credit Document. 
 2.8 Interest. 

(a) The unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) or repayment or prepayment in full thereof at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin plus the Alternate Base Rate, in each case, in effect from time to time. 

(b) The unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether
by acceleration or otherwise) or repayment or prepayment in full thereof at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin plus the relevant Adjusted LIBO Rate, in each case, in effect from time to time. 

(c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (the “Default Rate”) (A) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable
thereto plus 2% or (B) in the case of any overdue interest, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a) plus 2% from the date of such non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment). 

  
 43 

 (d) Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but
excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable in Dollars; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same date on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Except as provided below, the Borrower hereby promises to
pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders interest, (i) in respect of each ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, on the
last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, (iii) in respect of each Loan,
(A) on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid), (B) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (C) after such maturity, on demand. 

(e) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 5.5. 

(f) The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
relevant Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. 

2.9 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the
making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(a), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in
writing) of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower be a one, two, three or six or (if available to all the Lenders making such LIBOR Loans as determined by such Lenders in good
faith based on prevailing market conditions) a 12-month period or any shorter period requested by the Borrower; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial Interest Period beginning on the
Closing Date may be for a period less than one month if agreed upon by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above: 

(a) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any
conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires; 

(b) if any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or begins on a day for
which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period; 

(c) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding
Business Day; provided that, if any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest
Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; and 
 (d) the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect any Interest Period in respect
of any LIBOR Loan if such Interest Period would extend beyond the Maturity Date. 

  
 44 

 2.10 Increased Costs, Etc. 

(a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan
requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Letter of Credit Issuer; 

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (in each case,
other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer, or any participation therein; or 

(iii) subject any Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes,
(B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other
liabilities or capital attributable thereto; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, such Letter of Credit
Issuer or such other recipient of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such other recipient of
participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such other recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise),
then upon the request of such Lender, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such other recipient the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such other recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such other recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) If any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have
the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or
the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or Letter of
Credit Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Letter
of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A
certificate of a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after
receipt thereof. 

  
 45 

 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Letter of Credit
Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

2.11 Break Funding Payments. If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a
Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Sections 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2 or 13.7, as a result of
acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 11 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans is not made on the date specified in a Notice of Borrowing, (c) any ABR Loan is not
converted into a LIBOR Loan on the date specified in a Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any LIBOR Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Loan on the date specified in a Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of
principal of any LIBOR Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, the Borrower shall after the Borrower’s receipt of a written request by such Lender (which
request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent (within fifteen days after such request) for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any
additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding, in each case, loss of anticipated
profits or applicable margin) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan. 

2.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of
Section 2.10(a), 2.10(b), or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for
any Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event
giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10,
or 5.4. 
 2.13 Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice
required by Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4 is given by any Lender more than 180 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost,
reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4, as the case may be, for any such
amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 181st day prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower; provided that if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such
180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

2.14 Borrowing Base. 
 (a)
Initial Borrowing Base. For the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the first Redetermination Date, the amount of the Borrowing Base shall be $3,000,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowing Base may be
subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to Section 2.14(e). 

  
 46 

 (b) Scheduled and Interim Redeterminations. The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined
annually in accordance with this Section 2.14 (a “Scheduled Redetermination”), and, subject to Section 2.14(d), such redetermined Borrowing Base shall become effective and
applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders on May 1st of each year, commencing May 1, 2019. In addition, the Borrower may at any time
(including prior to the first Scheduled Redetermination date of May 1, 2019), by notifying the Administrative Agent thereof, not more than once between Scheduled Redeterminations, and the Administrative Agent, following the first Scheduled
Redetermination date of May 1, 2019, may, at the direction of the Required Lenders, by notifying the Borrower thereof, not more than once between Scheduled Redeterminations, in each case elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined
between Scheduled Redeterminations (an “Interim Redetermination”) in accordance with this Section 2.14. In addition to, and not including and/or limited by the Interim Redeterminations allowed above, the
Borrower may, by notifying the Administrative Agent thereof, at any time between Scheduled Redeterminations, request additional Interim Redeterminations of the Borrowing Base in the event it or another Credit Party acquires Oil and Gas Properties
with Proved Reserves which are to be Borrowing Base Properties having a PV-9 (calculated at the time of acquisition) in excess of 10% of the Borrowing Base in effect immediately prior to such acquisition. 

(c) Scheduled and Interim Redetermination Procedure. 

(i) Each Scheduled Redetermination and each Interim Redetermination shall be effectuated as follows: Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent
of (A) the Reserve Report, and (B) such other reports, data and supplemental information as may, from time to time, be reasonably requested by the Required Lenders (the Reserve Report and such other reports, data and supplemental
information being the “Engineering Reports”), the Administrative Agent shall evaluate the information contained in the Engineering Reports and shall in good faith propose a new Borrowing Base (the “Proposed Borrowing
Base”) based upon such information and such other information (including the status of title information with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties as described in the Engineering Reports and the existence of any Hedge Agreements or any
other Indebtedness) as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate in good faith in accordance with its usual and customary oil and gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time and that is of the type used for such purpose with respect to
similar oil and gas credits for borrowers with similar credit profiles. 
 (ii) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of the Proposed Borrowing Base (the “Proposed Borrowing Base Notice”): 
 (A) in the case of a Scheduled
Redetermination (1) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.13(a) and (b) in a timely manner, then on or before April 15th of such year following the date of delivery or (2) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to
Sections 9.13(a) and (b) in a timely manner, then promptly after the Administrative Agent has received complete Engineering Reports from the Borrower and has had a reasonable opportunity to determine the
Proposed Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.14(c)(i); and 
 (B) in the case of an Interim
Redetermination, promptly, and in any event, within 15 days after the Administrative Agent has received the required Engineering Reports. 

(iii) Any Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved or deemed to have been approved by the
Borrowing Base Required Lenders in each such Lender’s sole discretion and consistent with each such Lender’s normal and customary oil and 

  
 47 

 
gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time as provided in this Section 2.14(c)(iii) and any Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the
Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved or be deemed to have been approved by Lenders constituting at least the Required Lenders in each such Lender’s sole discretion and consistent with each such Lender’s normal and customary oil
and gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time as provided in this Section 2.14(c)(iii). Upon receipt of the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice, each Lender shall have 15 days to agree with the Proposed Borrowing
Base or disagree with the Proposed Borrowing Base by proposing an alternate Borrowing Base. If at the end of such 15-day period, any Lender has not communicated its approval or disapproval in writing to the
Administrative Agent, such silence shall be deemed to be an approval of the Proposed Borrowing Base. If, at the end of such 15-day period, the Borrowing Base Required Lenders, in the case of a Proposed
Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, or the Required Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect, have approved or deemed to have approved, as
aforesaid, then the Proposed Borrowing Base shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in Section 2.14(d). If, however, at the end of such 15-day period, the
Borrowing Base Required Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, have not approved or deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter poll the Lenders to ascertain the highest Borrowing Base then
acceptable to the Borrowing Base Required Lenders (in the case of any increase to the Borrowing Base) or a number of Lenders sufficient to constitute the Required Lenders (in any other case) and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base,
effective on the date specified in Section 2.14(d). It is expressly understood that the Administrative Agent and Lenders have no obligation to designate the Borrowing Base at any particular amount, except in the exercise of
their discretion, whether in relation to the Total Commitment, the Maximum Aggregate Amount or otherwise. 
 (d) Effectiveness of a
Redetermined Borrowing Base. Subject to Section 2.14(f), after a redetermined Borrowing Base is approved or is deemed to have been approved by the Borrowing Base Required Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable,
pursuant to Section 2.14(c)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the amount of the redetermined Borrowing Base (the “New Borrowing Base Notice”),
and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders: 

(i) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, (A) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to be
delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.13(a) and (b) in a timely and complete manner, on the May 1st following such notice, or (B) if the Administrative
Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.13(a) and (b) in a timely and complete manner, then on the Business Day next succeeding
delivery of such New Borrowing Base Notice; and 
 (ii) in the case of an Interim Redetermination, on the Business Day next succeeding
delivery of such New Borrowing Base Notice. 
 Subject to Section 2.14(f), such amount shall then become the
Borrowing Base until the next Scheduled Redetermination Date, the next Interim Redetermination Date or the next adjustment to the Borrowing Base under Section 2.14(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Scheduled
Redetermination or Interim Redetermination shall become effective until the New Borrowing Base Notice related thereto is received by the Borrower. 

(e) Reduction of Borrowing Base Upon Asset Dispositions or Termination of Hedge Positions. If (i) (1) the Borrower or one of the
other Credit Parties Disposes of Oil and Gas Properties or Disposes of the Stock or Stock Equivalents of any Credit Party owning Oil and Gas Properties, and such 

  
 48 

 
Disposition involves Borrowing Base Properties included in the most recently delivered Reserve Report, or (2) the Borrower or any Credit Party shall unwind, terminate or create any off-setting positions in respect of any commodity hedge positions (whether evidenced by a floor, put or Hedge Agreement) upon which the Lenders relied in determining the Borrowing Base pursuant to
Section 10.4(b) or (k), as applicable, and (ii) the sum of (1) in the case of clause (i)(1) the aggregate PV-9 (calculated at the time of such Disposition) of all
such Borrowing Base Properties Disposed of since the later of (A) the last Redetermination Date and (B) the last adjustment of the Borrowing Base made pursuant to this Section 2.14(e), and (2) in the case of
clause (i)(2), the Hedge PV (as calculated at the time of any such unwind, termination or creation of off-setting positions) of such unwound, terminated and/or offsetting positions (after taking into
account any other Hedge Agreement executed subsequent to the last Redetermination Date or adjustment of the Borrowing Base) during such period, collectively, exceeds 10% of the then-effective Borrowing Base, then, after the Administrative Agent has
received the notice required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.4(b) or (k), no later than one Business Day after the date of consummation of any such Disposition, unwind, termination or off-set, as the case may be, the Required Lenders shall have the right to adjust the Borrowing Base in an amount equal to the sum of the Borrowing Base value, if any, attributable to such Disposed of Borrowing Base
Properties plus the Borrowing Base value, if any, attributable to such unwound, terminated or off-setting hedge positions in the calculation of the then-effective Borrowing Base and, if the Required
Lenders in fact make any such adjustment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of the Borrowing Base value, if any, attributable to such Disposed of Borrowing Base Properties in the calculation of the then-effective
Borrowing Base and upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowing Base shall be simultaneously reduced by such amount. 
 (f)
Borrower’s Right to Elect Reduced Borrowing Base. Within three Business Days of its receipt of a New Borrowing Base Notice, the Borrower may provide written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that specifies
for the period from the effective date of the New Borrowing Base Notice until the next succeeding Scheduled Redetermination Date, the Borrowing Base will be a lesser amount than the amount set forth in such New Borrowing Base Notice, whereupon such
specified lesser amount will become the new Borrowing Base. The Borrower’s notice under this Section 2.14(f) shall be irrevocable, but without prejudice to its rights to initiate Interim Redeterminations. 

(g) Administrative Agent Data. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to provide, promptly, and in any event within 3 Business Days,
following its receipt of a request by the Borrower, an updated Bank Price Deck. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree, upon request, to meet with the Borrower to discuss their evaluation of the reservoir engineering of the Oil
and Gas Properties included in the Reserve Report and their respective methodologies for valuing such properties and the other factors considered in calculating the Borrowing Base. 

(h) Investment Grade Period. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, during any Investment Grade Period, the
provisions of clauses (a) through (f) of Section 2.14 and Section 4.3(b) will be deemed to be inapplicable and shall be disregarded for all purposes. Upon the end of any Investment Grade
Period, the Borrowing Base will be determined based on the most recently delivered Reserve Report and will remain in effect until the next Redetermination Date, subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to
Section 2.14(e). 
 2.15 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(a) Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 4.1(a); 

  
 49 

 (b) The Commitment and Total Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in
determining whether all Lenders, the Majority Lenders, the Required Lenders or Borrowing Base Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to
Section 13.1); provided that (i) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 13.1 or requiring the consent of each affected Lender
pursuant to Section 13.1(i) shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender (which for the avoidance of doubt would include any change to the Maturity Date applicable to such Defaulting Lender, decreasing or forgiving
any principal or interest due to such Defaulting Lender, any decrease of any interest rate applicable to Loans made by such Defaulting Lender (other than the waiving of post-default interest rates) and any increase in such Defaulting Lender’s
Commitment) and (ii) any redetermination, whether an increase, decrease or affirmation, of the Borrowing Base shall occur without the participation of a Defaulting Lender; 

(c) If any Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then (i) all or any part of such Letter of
Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the
Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages; provided that (A) each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Total
Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment Percentage of the Loan Limit of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (B) neither such reallocation nor any
payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers or any other Lender may have against
such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender, (ii) to the extent that all or any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting
Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure cannot, or can only partially, be so reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders, whether by reason of the first proviso in Section 2.15(c)(i) or
otherwise, the Borrower shall within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer only the Borrower’s
obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above), in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 3.8 for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding, (iii) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to this
Section 2.15(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure
during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized, (iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this
Section 2.15(c), then the Letter of Credit Fees payable for the account of the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.1(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such
Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitment Percentages and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Letter of Credit Fees to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(b) with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period that such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is reallocated, or (v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither Cash
Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.15(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under
Section 4.1(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer until such Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized and/or
reallocated; 
 (d) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Letter of Credit Issuer will be required to issue any new Letter of
Credit or amend any outstanding Letter of Credit to increase the Stated Amount thereof, alter the drawing terms thereunder or extend the expiry date thereof, unless the Letter of Credit Issuer is reasonably satisfied that any exposure that would
result from the exposure to such Defaulting Lender is eliminated or fully covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders or by Cash 

  
 50 

 
Collateralization or a combination thereof in accordance with clause (c) above or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer, and participating
interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.15(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders
shall not participate therein); and 
 (e) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Letter of Credit Issuer agree in writing in
their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon, as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to
any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender and the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the
inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in
accordance with its Applicable Percentage and any applicable Cash Collateral shall be promptly returned to the Borrower; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from
Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

(f) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 13.8), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent
hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to each Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each Letter of Credit Issuer’s Letter of Credit Exposure
with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed
to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to
(x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize each Letter of Credit Issuer’s future Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such
Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuers as a result of any judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of
any Loans or Unpaid Drawings, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the relevant Loans of, and Unpaid Drawings owed to, the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied in
the manner set forth in this Section 2.15(f). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash
Collateral pursuant to Section 3.8 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

  
 51 

 2.16 Increase of Total Commitment. 

(a) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.16(b), the Borrower may, from time to time (including in
connection with any redetermination of the Borrowing Base), increase the Total Commitment then in effect (any such increase an “Incremental Increase”) by increasing the Commitment of a Lender (an “Increasing
Lender”) or by causing a Person that at such time is not a Lender to become a Lender (an “Additional Lender”). 

(b) Any increase in the Total Commitment shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(i) such increase shall not be less than $100,000,000 (and increments of $10,000,000 above that minimum) unless the Administrative Agent
otherwise consents, and no such increase shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto the Total Commitment would exceed (A) at any time during an Investment Grade Period, the Maximum Aggregate Amount or (B) at any time other than
during an Investment Grade Period, the lesser of the Borrowing Base then in effect and the Maximum Aggregate Amount; 
 (ii) no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing after giving effect to such increase; 
 (iii) no Lender’s Commitment may be
increased without the consent of such Lender; 
 (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have been given notice of the increase in Commitments;

 (v) the maturity date of such increase shall be the same as the Maturity Date; 

(vi) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent, for payment to any Increasing Lender or Additional Lender, as applicable, any
fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender or Lenders; and 

(vii) the increase shall be on the exact same terms and pursuant to the exact same documentation applicable to this Agreement (other than with
respect to any arrangement, structuring, upfront or other fees or discounts payable in connection with such Incremental Increase) (provided that the Applicable Margin of the Facility may be increased to be consistent with that for such Incremental
Increases). 
 (c) Each Increasing Lender or Additional Lender shall execute and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
customary documentation (any such documentation, an “Incremental Agreement”) implementing any Incremental Increase. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of one or more executed Incremental Agreements increasing the Commitments
of Lenders and/or adding Commitments from Additional Lenders as provided in this Section 2.16, (i) the Total Commitment shall be increased automatically on the effective date set forth in such Incremental Agreements by the
aggregate amount indicated in such Incremental Agreements without further action by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuers or any Lender, (ii) Schedule 1.1(a) and the Register shall each be amended to add
such Additional Lender’s Commitment or to reflect the increase in the Commitment of an Increasing Lender, and the Commitment Percentages of the Lenders shall be adjusted accordingly to reflect the Incremental Increase of each Additional Lender
and/or each Increasing Lender, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall distribute to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each Lender the revised Schedule 1.1(a), (iv) any such Additional Lender
shall be deemed to be a party in all respects to this Agreement and any other Credit Documents to which the Lenders are a party, and (v) upon the effective date set forth in such Incremental Agreement, any such

  
 52 

 
Lender party to the Incremental Agreement shall purchase a pro rata portion of the outstanding Loans (including participations in L/C Obligations) of each of the current Lenders such that each
Lender (including any Additional Lender, if applicable) shall hold its respective Commitment Percentage of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests in participations in L/C Obligations) as reflected in the revised Schedule 1.1(a)
required by this Section 2.16. 
 2.17 Alternate Rate of Interest. 

(a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan: 

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do
not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable (including because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; or 

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any request by the Borrower for the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of
any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Loan shall be ineffective and (B) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a LIBOR Loan, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Loan; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect
only one Type of Loans, then the other Type of Loans shall be permitted. 
 (b) If any Lender determines that any Requirement of Law has made
it unlawful, or if any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, fund or continue any LIBOR Loan, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on
the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make,
maintain, fund or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to LIBOR Loans will be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrower will upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert all LIBOR Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may
lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower will also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid
or converted. 
 (c) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that
(i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the
administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining
interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate

  
 53 

 
of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes
to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero,
such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.1, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other
party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that
such Majority Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (c) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of
this Section 2.17(c), only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any requests by the Borrower for the conversion of any
Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Loan shall be ineffective and (y) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a LIBOR Loan, such Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan. 

SECTION 3. Letters of Credit 

3.1 Letters of Credit. 

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to
the L/C Maturity Date, each Letter of Credit Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 3, to issue upon the request of the Borrower and for the direct or indirect benefit of the
Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, a letter of credit or letters of credit (together with the Existing Letters of Credit, the “Letters of Credit” and each, a “Letter of Credit”) in such form and with such
Issuer Documents as may be approved by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its reasonable discretion; provided that the Borrower shall be a co-applicant of, and jointly and severally liable with respect to,
each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit
shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letters of Credit Outstanding at such time, would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would cause
the aggregate amount of all Lenders’ Total Exposures at such time to exceed the Loan Limit then in effect, (iii) no Letter of Credit is required to be issued by a given Letter of Credit Issuer if, as a result of the issuance of such Letter
of Credit, (x) the aggregate undrawn Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer at such time plus (y) the aggregate amount of all outstanding Unpaid Drawings made by such Letter of
Credit Issuer would exceed such Letter of Credit Issuer’s Letter of Credit Commitment, (iv) each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date occurring no later than one year after the date of issuance or such longer period of time as
may be agreed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer or as provided under Section 3.2(b); provided that any Letter of
Credit may provide for automatic renewal thereof for additional periods of up to 12 months or such longer period of time as may be agreed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, subject to the provisions of
Section 3.2(b); provided, further, that in no event shall such expiration date occur later than the L/C Maturity Date unless arrangements which are satisfactory to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer to
Cash Collateralize (or backstop) such Letter of Credit have been made (provided, however, that no Lenders shall be obligated to fund participations in respect of any Letter of Credit after the Maturity Date), (v) each Letter of Credit shall
be denominated in Dollars, (vi) no Letter of Credit shall be issued if it would be illegal under any applicable Requirement of Law for the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit to have a Letter of Credit issued in its favor and (vii) no
Letter of Credit shall be issued by a Letter of Credit Issuer after it has received a 

  
 54 

 
written notice from any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders stating that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing until such time as the Letter of
Credit Issuer shall have received a written notice (A) of rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering such notice, (B) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13.1 or (C) that such Default or Event of Default is no longer continuing. 
 (c) Upon at least one
Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the applicable
Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Letter of Credit Sublimit in whole or in part; provided that, after giving effect to such termination or reduction, the Letters of Credit
Outstanding shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Letter of Credit Issuer
shall have any obligation hereunder to issue, and none shall issue, any Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (i) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or
territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions, (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement or (iii) in any manner that would result in a violation of
one or more policies of such Letter of Credit Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally. 
 3.2 Letter of Credit Requests. 

(a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the
Letter of Credit Issuer a Letter of Credit Request by no later than 1:00 p.m. (Central time) at least two (or such lesser number as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer) Business Days prior to the
proposed date of issuance. Each notice shall be executed by the Borrower and shall be in the form of Exhibit B or such other form (including by electronic mail or fax transmission) as reasonably agreed between the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (each a “Letter of Credit Request”). No Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue any Letters of Credit unless such Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received notice from the
Administrative Agent that the conditions to such issuance have been met, which notice shall be deemed given (i) if the Letter of Credit Issuer has not received notice from the Administrative Agent that the conditions to such issuance have been
met within two Business Days after the date of the applicable Letter of Credit Request or (ii) if the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer then outstanding does not exceed the amount
theretofore agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Administrative Agent has not otherwise notified such Letter of Credit Issuer that it may no longer rely on this
clause (i). 
 (b) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit
Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit
must permit the Letter of Credit Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each 12-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the
beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such 12-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of
Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Letter of Credit Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued,
the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Maturity Date unless arrangements which are
satisfactory to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer to Cash Collateralize 

  
 55 

 
(or backstop) such Letter of Credit have been made (but no Lenders shall be obligated to fund participations in respect of any Letter of Credit after the Maturity Date); provided,
however, that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (i) the Letter of Credit Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in
its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (b) of Section 3.1 or otherwise), or (ii) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or
before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Majority Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (B) from the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7 are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such
extension. 
 (c) Each Letter of Credit Issuer (other than the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates) shall, at least once each week,
provide the Administrative Agent with a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time; provided that, upon written request from the Administrative Agent, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall thereafter notify the
Administrative Agent in writing on each Business Day of all Letters of Credit issued on the prior Business Day by such Letter of Credit Issuer. 

(d) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the Letter of Credit
may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.1(b). 
 3.3 Letter of
Credit Participations. 
 (a) Immediately upon the issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit
Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender (each such Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3, an “L/C Participant”), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably
and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s
Commitment Percentage, in each Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. 

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation relative to the L/C
Participants other than to confirm that (i) any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered, (ii) the Letter of Credit Issuer has examined the documents with reasonable care and (iii) the
documents appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or
omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability. 

(c) In the event that the Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have
repaid such amount in full to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.4(a), or if any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify
the Administrative Agent and each L/C Participant of such failure, and each such L/C Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such L/C
Participant’s Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in immediately available funds; provided, however, that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Letter of Credit Issuer its Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any such Letter of Credit as a result 

  
 56 

 
of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer (as determined in a final and
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). Each L/C Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer such L/C Participant’s
Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment no later than 1:00 p.m. (Central time) on the first Business Day after the date notified by the Letter of Credit Issuer in immediately available funds. If and to the extent such L/C Participant
shall not have so made its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at a rate per
annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time then in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the foregoing. The failure of any L/C Participant to make
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Commitment Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any
other L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent such other L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of any such payment. 

(d) Whenever the Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment in respect of an unpaid reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative
Agent has received for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly pay to each L/C Participant that has paid its Commitment Percentage of such reimbursement obligation, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s share (based upon the
proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such L/C Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all L/C Participants) of the principal amount so paid in respect of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the
purchase of the respective L/C Participations at the Overnight Rate. 
 (e) The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the
Administrative Agent for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or
exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including under any of the following circumstances: 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents; 

(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time
against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit); 

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 

  
 57 

 (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the
terms of any of the Credit Documents; or 
 (v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; 

provided, however, that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer
its Commitment Percentage of any unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on
the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). 

3.4 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. 

(a) The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer by making payment in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Letter of Credit Issuer in immediately available funds, for any payment or disbursement made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid
Drawing”) (i) within one Business Day of the date of such payment or disbursement if the Letter of Credit Issuer provides notice to the Borrower of such payment or disbursement prior to 11:00 a.m. (Central time) on such next succeeding
Business Day (from the date of such payment or disbursement) or (ii) if such notice is received after such time, on the next Business Day following the date of receipt of such notice (such required date for reimbursement under clause
(i) or (ii), as applicable, on such Business Day (the “Reimbursement Date”)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Letter of Credit Issuer, from and including the date of such payment or disbursement to but
excluding the Reimbursement Date, at the per annum rate for each day equal to the rate described in Section 2.8(a); provided that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to
any Letter of Credit, (i) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer prior to 11:00 a.m. (Central time) on the Reimbursement Date that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Letter of Credit
Issuer for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing requesting that the Lenders make Loans (which shall be ABR Loans) on the Reimbursement Date in an
amount equal to the amount at such drawing, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such drawing and the amount of its Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each L/C Participant shall be irrevocably
obligated to make a Loan to the Borrower in the manner deemed to have been requested in the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 12:00 noon (Central time) on such Reimbursement Date by making the amount of such
Loan available to the Administrative Agent. Such Loans made in respect of such Unpaid Drawing on such Reimbursement Date shall be made without regard to the limits of Section 2.2 and without regard to the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in Section 7. The Administrative Agent shall use the proceeds of such Loans solely for purpose of reimbursing the Letter of Credit Issuer for the related Unpaid Drawing. In the event that the
Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the Maturity Date, the full amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an Unpaid Drawing subject to the
provisions of this Section 3.4 except that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall hold the proceeds received from the Lenders as contemplated above as cash collateral for such Letter of Credit to reimburse any Drawing under such
Letter of Credit and shall use such proceeds first, to reimburse itself for any Drawings made in respect of such Letter of Credit following the L/C Maturity Date, second, to the extent such Letter of Credit expires or is returned
undrawn while any such cash collateral remains, to the repayment of obligations in respect of any Loans that have not paid at such time and third, to the Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this
Section 3.4(a) shall affect the Borrower’s obligation to repay all outstanding Loans when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 58 

 (b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.4 to reimburse
the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off,
counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including in its capacity as an L/C Participant), including any defense based
upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the
proceeds of such Drawing; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under the Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or
omissions constituting willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction).

 3.5 [Reserved]. 
 3.6
New or Successor Letter of Credit Issuer. 
 (a) A Letter of Credit Issuer (other than any Letter of Credit Issuer that is also the
Administrative Agent at such time) may resign as a Letter of Credit Issuer upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. The Borrower may replace the Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason upon
written notice to the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent and may add Letter of Credit Issuers at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent. If a Letter of Credit Issuer shall resign or be replaced, or if the Borrower shall
decide to add a new Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, or, with the consent of the
Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and such new Letter of Credit Issuer, another successor or new issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the
replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, and the term
“Letter of Credit Issuer” shall mean such successor or such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment. The acceptance of any appointment as a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder whether as a successor issuer or new
issuer of Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and,
from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall become a “Letter of Credit Issuer” hereunder. After the resignation or replacement of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the
resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to Letters of Credit
issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. In connection with any resignation or replacement pursuant to this clause (a) (but, in case of any such
resignation, only to the extent that a successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have been appointed), either (i) the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall arrange to
have any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor issuer of Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrower shall cause the successor issuer of
Letters of Credit, if such successor issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer, to issue “back-stop” Letters of Credit naming the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer as beneficiary for
each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer, which new Letters of Credit shall have a Stated Amount equal to the Letters of Credit being back-stopped and the sole requirement for drawing on such new
Letters of Credit shall be a drawing on the corresponding back-stopped Letters of 

  
 59 

 
Credit. After any resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer’s resignation or replacement as Letter of Credit Issuer, the provisions of this Agreement relating to a Letter of Credit
Issuer shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (A) while it was a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (B) at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit
Issuer. 
 (b) To the extent that there are, at the time of any resignation or replacement as set forth in
clause (a) above, any outstanding Letters of Credit, nothing herein shall be deemed to impact or impair any rights and obligations of any of the parties hereto with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit (including
any obligations related to the payment of fees or the reimbursement or funding of amounts drawn), except that the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have the obligations
regarding outstanding Letters of Credit described in clause (a) above. 
 3.7 Role of Letter of Credit
Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents
expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (a) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or
with the approval of the Majority Lenders, (b) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith or (c) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or
instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is
not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent,
any of their respective affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.3(e); provided that
anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as
opposed to special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith (as determined in a
final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary
of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in
order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 

3.8 Cash Collateral. 
 (a)
Upon the request of the Majority Lenders if, as of the L/C Maturity Date, there are any Letters of Credit Outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Letters of Credit Outstanding. 

  
 60 

 (b) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Required Lenders may require that
the L/C Obligations be Cash Collateralized; provided that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in Section 11.5 with respect to the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the
Letters of Credit then outstanding and no notice or request by or consent from the Required Lenders shall be required. 
 (c) For purposes of
this Agreement, “Cash Collateralize” shall mean to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or
deposit account balances in an amount equal to the amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding required to be Cash Collateralized pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of
Credit Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer and the L/C
Participants, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Such cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts established by and in the name of
the Borrower, but under the “control” (as defined in Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the Administrative Agent. 

3.9 Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of
Credit is issued, (a) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (b) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at
the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. 
 3.10 Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any
conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control. 
 3.11 Letters of Credit Issued
for Restricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Letter
of Credit Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the
Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 SECTION 4. Fees;
Commitments 
 4.1 Fees. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of each Lender (in each case pro rata according to the
respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders), a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for each day from the Closing Date until but excluding the Termination Date. Each Commitment Fee shall be payable by the Borrower
(i) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (for the three-month period (or portion thereof) ended on such day for which no payment has been received) and (ii) on the Termination Date (for
the period ended on such date for which no payment has been received pursuant to clause (i) above), and shall be computed for each day during such period at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day on the
Available Commitment in effect on such day. 

  
 61 

 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of the
Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Letter of Credit Exposure, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit until the
termination or expiration date of such Letter of Credit computed at the per annum rate for each day equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Such Letter of Credit Fees shall be due
and payable (i) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Termination Date (for the period for which no payment has been received pursuant to clause (i) above).

 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Letter of Credit Issuer a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the
“Fronting Fee”), for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the termination or expiration date of such Letter of Credit, computed at the rate for each day equal to 0.125% per annum (or such other amount a
may be agreed in a separate writing between the Borrower and any Letter of Credit Issuer) on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit (or at such other rate per annum as agreed in writing between the Borrower and the Letter of Credit
Issuer). Such Fronting Fees shall be due and payable by the Borrower (i) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Termination Date (for the period for which no payment has
been received pursuant to clause (i) above). 
 (d) The Borrower agrees to pay directly to the Letter of Credit Issuer upon each
issuance of, drawing under, and/or amendment of, a Letter of Credit issued by it such amount as the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower shall have agreed upon for issuances of, drawings under or amendments of, letters of credit issued by it.

 (e) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the administrative agent fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in
writing from time to time between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. 
 4.2 Voluntary Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative
Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty, on any day, to permanently terminate or reduce the
Commitments, as determined by the Borrower, in whole or in part; provided that (i) any such termination or reduction shall apply ratably to reduce each Lender’s Commitment, (b) any partial reduction pursuant to this
Section 4.2 shall be in the amount of at least $10,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (c) after giving effect to such termination or reduction and to any prepayments of Loans or
cancellation or Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit made on the date thereof in accordance with this Agreement, the aggregate amount of all Lenders’ Total Exposures shall not exceed the Loan Limit. 

(b) The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than two (2) Business Days’
prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.15(f) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of
such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. 
 4.3 Mandatory Termination or
Reduction of Commitments. 
 (a) The Total Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (Central time) on the Termination Date. 

  
 62 

 (b) If any reduction in the Borrowing Base would result in the Borrowing Base being less than the
Total Commitments, the Total Commitments shall be automatically and permanently (but subject to Section 2.16) reduced, without premium or penalty, contemporaneously with such reduction in the Borrowing Base so that the
Total Commitment equals the Borrowing Base as reduced; provided that any such reduction shall apply ratably to reduce each Lender’s Commitment. Concurrently with, and effective on, the Redetermination Date applicable to such Borrowing
Base reduction, (i) Schedule 1.1(a) and the Register shall each be amended to reflect the decrease in the Total Commitment and the Commitment of each Lender and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly
distribute to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each Lender the revised Schedule 1.1(a). 

SECTION 5. Payments 

5.1 Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans without premium or penalty, in whole or in part from time
to time on the following terms and conditions: 
 (a) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s
Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to make such prepayment, the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of LIBOR Loans) the specific Borrowing(s) being prepaid, which notice shall be given by
the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (Central time) (i) in the case of LIBOR Loans, three Business Days prior to and (ii) in the case of ABR Loans on the date of such prepayment and shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative
Agent to each of the Lenders; 
 (b) each partial prepayment of (i) LIBOR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in
multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) any ABR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that no partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single
Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than $1,000,000 for such LIBOR Loans; and 

(c) any prepayment of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 on any day other than the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto shall be subject to compliance by the Borrower with the applicable provisions of Section 2.11. 
 Each
such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type of Loans to be prepaid. At the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.1, such prepayment shall not
be applied to any Loans of a Defaulting Lender. 
 5.2 Mandatory Prepayments. 

(a) Repayment following Optional Reduction of Commitments. If, after giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Commitments
pursuant to Section 4.2(a), the aggregate Total Exposures of all Lenders exceeds the Loan Limit (as reduced), then the Borrower shall on the same Business Day (i) prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal
to such excess and (ii) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Loans as a result of any Letter of Credit Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the L/C Participants an amount
in cash equal to such excess to be held as cash collateral as provided in Section 3.8. 
 (b) Repayment of Loans
Following Redetermination or Adjustment of Borrowing Base. 
 (i) Upon any redetermination of the Borrowing Base in accordance with
Section 2.14(b), if the aggregate Total Exposures of all Lenders exceeds the redetermined Borrowing Base, then the Borrower shall, within 10 Business Days after its receipt of a New Borrowing Base Notice

  
 63 

 
indicating such Borrowing Base Deficiency, inform the Administrative Agent of the Borrower’s election to: (A) within 30 days following such election prepay the Loans in an aggregate
principal amount equal to such excess, (B) prepay the Loans in six equal monthly installments, commencing on the 30th day following its receipt of such New Borrowing Base Notice with each payment being equal to 1/6th of the aggregate principal
amount of such excess, (C) within 30 days following such election, provide additional Collateral in the form of additional Oil and Gas Properties not evaluated in the most recently delivered Reserve Report or other Collateral reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent having a Borrowing Base value (as proposed by the Administrative Agent and approved by the Required Lenders) sufficient, after giving effect to any other actions taken pursuant to this
Section 5.2(b)(i) to eliminate any such excess or (D) undertake a combination of clauses (A), (B) and (C); provided that if, because of Letter of Credit Exposure, a Borrowing Base Deficiency
remains after prepaying all of the Loans, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such remaining Borrowing Base Deficiency as provided in Section 3.8; provided further, that all payments required to be made
pursuant to this Section 5.2(b)(i) must be made on or prior to the Termination Date. 
 (ii) Upon any adjustment to
the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.14(e), if the aggregate Total Exposures of all Lenders exceeds the Borrowing Base, as adjusted, then the Borrower shall (A) prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount
equal to such excess and (B) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Loans as a result of any Letter of Credit Exposure, Cash Collateralize such excess as provided in Section 3.8. The Borrower shall be
obligated to make such prepayment and/or deposit of cash collateral no later than two Business Days following the date it receives written notice from the Administrative Agent of the adjustment of the Borrowing Base and the resulting Borrowing Base
Deficiency; provided that all payments required to be made pursuant to this clause must be made on or prior to the Termination Date. 

(iii) If the Borrower issues any Indebtedness permitted under Section 10.1(m) or (n) at any time a
Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans on the date the Borrower receives the net cash proceeds from the issuance of such Senior Notes in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency (or, if less,
such net cash proceeds). For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall be required to continue to comply with Section 5.2(b)(ii) with respect to any Borrowing Base Deficiency existing at the time of such issuance of Senior
Notes for any reason other than any Disposition of Borrowing Base Properties. 
 (iv) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the
foregoing, clauses (b)(i) through (iii) above shall not apply during an Investment Grade Period. 
 (c) Application to Loans.
With respect to each prepayment of Loans elected under Section 5.1 or required by Section 5.2, the Borrower may designate (i) the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific
Borrowing(s) being repaid and (ii) the Loans to be prepaid; provided that (A) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans and (B) notwithstanding the provisions of the
preceding clause (A), no prepayment of Loans shall be applied to the Loans of any Defaulting Lender unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Borrower. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence,
the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11. 

(d) LIBOR Interest Periods. In lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 5.2 in respect of any LIBOR
Loan, other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower at its option may deposit, on behalf of the Borrower, with the Administrative Agent an amount equal
to the amount of the LIBOR Loan to be prepaid and such LIBOR Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period therefor in the 

  
 64 

 
required amount. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a corporate time deposit account established on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, earning
interest at the then customary rate for accounts of such type. Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the LIBOR Loans to be so prepaid; provided that the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the
applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 5.2. 
 5.3 Method and Place of Payment. 

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto or the Letter of Credit Issuer entitled thereto, as the case may be, not later than
2:00 p.m. (Central time), in each case, on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other office as the Administrative Agent shall specify for such purpose by notice
to the Borrower; it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall constitute the making
of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. All repayments or prepayments of any Loans (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) hereunder and all other payments under each Credit Document shall be made in Dollars. The
Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (Central time) or, otherwise, on the next Business Day in the sole discretion of the
Administrative Agent) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably to the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, entitled thereto. 

(b) For purposes of computing interest or fees, any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (Central time) shall
be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall
be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension. 

5.4 Net Payments. 
 (a) Any
and all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes; provided that if
the Borrower or any Guarantor or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the Borrower or such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent shall make
such deductions or withholdings as are reasonably determined in good faith by the Borrower, such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent to be required by any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) the Borrower, such Guarantor or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time allowed and in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, and (iii) to the extent withholding or deduction
is required to be made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower or such Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions or withholdings of
Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4) the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions or withholdings been made. As soon as practical after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 5.4, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 65 

 (b) The Borrower shall timely pay and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent
and each Lender with regard to any Other Taxes (whether or not such Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority). 

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 15 Business Days after written demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section 5.4), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority;
provided, that the right to indemnification shall be subject to the notice requirements of Section 2.13. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and such other reasonably requested information and documentation as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to
determine (i) whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Credit Document are subject to Taxes, (ii) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (iii) such Lender’s entitlement to any
available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Credit Party pursuant to any Credit Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in
the applicable jurisdiction. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender 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 5.4(e)(i)(A), (e)(i)(B), (e)(i)(C), (h) and (i) below) shall not be required if
in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.4(d), each Non-U.S. Lender
with respect to any Loan made to the Borrower shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so: 
 (i) deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which the Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, two copies of (A) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender
claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any applicable successor form) (together with a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I representing that such
Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10% shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower, is not a CFC related to
the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code) and the interest payments in question are not effectively connected with the United States trade or business conducted by such Lender), (B) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI (or any applicable successor form), in each case properly
completed and duly executed by 

  
 66 

 
such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement,
(C) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any applicable successor form) and all necessary attachments (including the forms described in clauses (A) and (B) above, as required)
required by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, or (D) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax
duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification (or any applicable successor
form) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower, and from time to time
thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; 
 unless in any such case any Change in Law has occurred prior to the date
on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form inapplicable or would prevent such Non-U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and
such Non-U.S. Lender promptly so notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 13.6 or a Lender pursuant to
Section 13.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 5.4(e); provided that in the case of
a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased. 

(f) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received and retained a refund of
an Indemnified Tax for which a payment has been made by the Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is
attributable to such payment made by the Borrower or any Guarantor, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower or such Guarantor for such amount (net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and without interest other than any interest received thereon from the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund) as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking into
account expenses or any Taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the payment had not been required; provided that the Borrower or such Guarantor, upon the request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, agrees to repay
the amount paid over to the Borrower or such Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. No Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be obliged to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party
in connection with this clause (f) or any other provision of this Section 5.4. 
 (g) If
the Borrower determines that a reasonable basis exists for contesting a Tax, each Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request in
challenging such Tax. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless against any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Person
in connection with any request made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.4(g). Nothing in this Section 5.4(g) shall obligate any Lender or the Administrative Agent to take any action that
such Person, in its sole judgment, determines (i) may result in a material detriment to such Person, (ii) may subject such Person to any material unreimbursed cost or expense, (iii) may materially prejudice the legal or commercial
position of such Person, or (iv) that such Person is not legally entitled to take. 

  
 67 

 (h) The Administrative Agent and each Lender that is a United States person under
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 (or substitute or successor
form), properly completed and duly executed, certifying that such Person is exempt from United States federal backup withholding (i) on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, (ii) on or before the date that such form
expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in Person’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from
time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. 
 (i) If a payment made to any Lender or the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Person were to fail 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 Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may
be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Person has or has not complied with such Person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to
deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.4(i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent
shall, to the extent they are legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (and the Lenders shall deliver to the Administrative Agent) additional documentation on or before the date that any such previously delivered documentation under this
Section 5.4(i) expires or becomes obsolete or invalid and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and
from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. 
 (j) For purposes of
determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the date of this Agreement, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement and the Loans as
not qualifying as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 

(k) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.4, the term “Lender” includes any Letter of
Credit Issuer and the terms “applicable Requirements of Law” and “applicable law” include FATCA. 
 (l) Each Lender shall
severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the
Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and each Guarantor to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of
Section 13.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any
Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were 

  
 68 

 
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 Lender by the Administrative Agent
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to
the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (l). 
 (m) The agreements in this
Section 5.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the payment, satisfaction or discharge of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the
termination of the Commitments. 
 5.5 Computations of Interest and Fees. 

(a) Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, Interest on LIBOR Loans and ABR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest on ABR Loans in respect of which the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate and interest on overdue interest shall be calculated on the basis
of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. 

(b) Fees and the average daily Stated Amount of Letters of Credit shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual days elapsed. 
 5.6 Limit on Rate of Interest. 

(a) No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay
any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect to any of the Obligations in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation. 

(b) Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a
result of Section 5.6(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations. 

(c) Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would
obligate the Borrower or any other Credit Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable Requirement of Law, then notwithstanding such
provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law, such adjustment to be
effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8. 

(d) Rebate of Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any
Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable Requirement of Law, then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that
Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower. 

  
 69

SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements 

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit as provided for
herein, the Borrower makes, on the Closing Date and on each other date as required or otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the following representations and warranties to, and agreements with, the Lenders, all of which shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit: 
 8.1 Corporate Status. Each of
the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary (a) is a duly organized and validly existing corporation or other entity in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate or other organizational
power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and (c) has duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing (if applicable, or has “active” status in the
case of the State of Texas) in all jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified, except in each case referred to in clauses (b) and (c), where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 8.2 Corporate Power and Authority; Enforceability. Each Credit Party has the corporate or other organizational power and
authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the
Credit Documents to which it is a party. Each Credit Party has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party and each such Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party enforceable
in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (whether
considered in a proceeding in equity or law). 

  
 72 

 8.3 No Violation. None of the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of
the Credit Documents to which it is a party or the compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will (a) contravene any material applicable provision of any material Requirement of Law, (b) result in any breach of any of the terms,
covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of such Credit Party or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries (other than Liens created under the Credit Documents and other Liens permitted under Section 10.2) pursuant to the terms of any indenture, loan agreement, lease agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or
other instrument to which such Credit Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound (any such term, covenant, condition or provision, a “Contractual Requirement”)
except to the extent such breach, default or Lien would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (c) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other
organizational documents of such Credit Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 8.4 Litigation. Except as set forth on
Schedule 8.4, there are no actions, suits or proceedings (including Environmental Claims) pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened with respect to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that
would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 8.5 Margin Regulations. The Borrower is not engaged and will
not engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock, or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock, and no part of the proceeds of any Borrowing or Letter
of Credit extension hereunder will be used to buy or carry any Margin Stock. Following the application of the proceeds of each Borrowing or drawing under each Letter of Credit, not more than 25% of the value of the assets (either of the Borrower
only or of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) will be Margin Stock. 
 8.6 Governmental Approvals. The
execution, delivery and performance of each Credit Document do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or other action by, any Governmental Authority, except for (a) such as have been obtained or made and are in
full force and effect, (b) filings and recordings in respect of the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents and (c) such consents, approvals, registrations, filings or actions the failure of which to obtain or make would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 8.7 Investment Company Act. No Credit Party is an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

the good faith judgment of management of the Borrower) is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business) and against at least such risks (and with such risk retentions) as the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of
management of the Borrower) is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business; and will furnish to the Administrative Agent, upon written request from the Administrative Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to
the insurance so carried. The Administrative Agent shall be an additional insured on any such liability insurance as its interests may appear. All policies of insurance required by the terms of this Agreement or any Security Document shall provide

replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (a) through (k) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings,
replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Borrower’s board of directors, no more restrictive in any material respect with respect to such encumbrance and other restrictions taken as a whole than those prior to such
amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing.

 10.10 Hedge Agreements. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, enter into any Hedge Agreements with any Person other than: 
 (a) Hedge Agreements entered into with an Approved Counterparty
that are non-speculative (including Hedge Agreements entered into to unwind or offset other permitted Hedge Agreements); provided that, at any time other than when, during any Investment Grade Period,
the Borrower has both a Rating from Moody’s of Baa3 or better and a Rating from S&P of BBB- or better: 

(i) any such Hedge Agreement does not have a term greater than sixty (60) months from the date such Hedge Agreement is entered into; 

(ii) at all times, on a net basis, the aggregate notional volume for each of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil, calculated
separately, covered by market sensitive Hedge Agreements (other than Excluded Hedges) shall not exceed 90% of the Projected Volume of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil production, calculated separately, for each month in the forthcoming
five year period; 
 (iii) notwithstanding the limitations set forth in clause (ii) of this Section 10.10(a)
in contemplation of a Permitted Acquisition, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into additional market sensitive Hedge Agreements such that the aggregate notional volumes for each of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude
oil, calculated separately, for each month in the forthcoming five year period covered by such additional market sensitive Hedge Agreements do not exceed 70% of the Projected Volume of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil production,
calculated separately, from the estimated reserves to be acquired in such Permitted Acquisition for each month in such forthcoming period; provided such additional Hedge Agreements are entered into (A) on or after the date of execution of a
definitive agreement with respect to a proposed Permitted Acquisition, but in any event no earlier than 90 days prior to the proposed closing date of such Permitted Acquisition and (B) in the event such agreement is terminated or such Permitted
Acquisition is otherwise not consummated within 90 days after such initial additional market sensitive Hedge Agreements have been entered into (or such longer period as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent in the event the
proposed closing of such Permitted Acquisition has been delayed beyond what the Borrower originally expected), then within 15 days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) after such termination or
the end of such 90 day (or longer) period, as applicable, the Borrower shall and shall cause the Restricted Subsidiaries to novate, unwind or otherwise dispose of market sensitive Hedge Agreements to the extent necessary to be in compliance with the
limitations set forth in clause (ii) of this Section 10.10(a); and 
 (iv) notwithstanding the separate
calculation requirements for natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, so long as the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries properly identify and consistently report such hedges, the Borrower and the
Restricted Subsidiaries may utilize crude oil hedges as a substitute for hedging natural gas liquids. 
 (b) Hedge Agreements entered into
with the purpose and effect of (i) fixing or limiting interest rates on a principal amount of indebtedness of any Credit Party that is accruing interest at a variable rate or (ii) obtaining variable interest rates on a principal amount of
indebtedness of any Credit Party that is accruing interest at a fixed rate (in each case including Hedge Agreements entered into to unwind or offset other permitted Hedge Agreements), provided that, at any time other than when, during any Investment
Grade Period, the Borrower has both a Rating from Moody’s of Baa3 or better and a Rating from S&P of BBB- or better, the aggregate notional amount of such Hedge Agreements does not (on a net basis)
exceed 80% of the principal balance of the variable or fixed rate, as the case may be, Indebtedness of the Credit Parties projected to be outstanding at the time such Hedge Agreement is entered into. 

  
 102 

 (c) It is understood that for purposes of this Section 10.10, the
following Hedge Agreements shall not be deemed speculative or entered into for speculative purposes: (i) any commodity Hedging Agreement intended, at inception of execution, to hedge or manage any of the risks related to existing and or
forecasted Hydrocarbon production of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries (whether or not contracted) and (ii) any Hedge Agreement intended, at inception of execution, (A) to hedge or manage the interest rate exposure associated
with any debt securities, debt facilities or leases (existing or forecasted) of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, (B) for foreign exchange or currency exchange management, (C) to manage commodity portfolio exposure associated
with changes in interest rates or (D) to hedge any exposure that the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries may have to counterparties under other Hedge Agreements such that the combination of such Hedge Agreements is not speculative taken as
a whole. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Borrower shall have thirty (30) days following the end of any Investment Grade
Period (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) to enter into Hedge Terminations or otherwise take any other actions necessary to comply with the hedging covenants in this Section 10.10.

hereby waived by the Borrower; (c) terminate any Letter of Credit that may be terminated in accordance with its terms; and/or (d) at the request of the Required Lenders, direct the Borrower to pay (and the Borrower agrees that upon receipt
of such notice, or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 11.5 with respect to the Borrower, it will pay) to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office such additional
amounts of cash, to be held as security for the Borrower’s respective reimbursement obligations for Drawings that may subsequently occur thereunder, equal to the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit issued and then outstanding. In
addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will have all other rights and remedies available at law and equity. 

Any amount received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party (or from proceeds of any Collateral) following any acceleration of the

to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such);

Documents, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (ii) payable to them; 
 (iii)
third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit fees and charges and interest on the Loans and unreimbursed Unpaid Drawings, ratably among the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers in
proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iii) payable to them;

Secured Parties, (A) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, unpaid Cash Management Obligations and unpaid Hedging Obligations owing in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreement
and (B) to cash collateralize that portion of Letter of Credit Exposure comprising the undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise cash collateralized by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15 or
Section 3, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iv) payable to them; provided that (x) any such amounts applied pursuant to subclause (B)
above shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuers to cash collateralize Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, (y) subject to Section 2.15 or
Section 3, amounts used to cash collateralize the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be used to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur and (z) upon the
expiration of any Letter of Credit (without any pending drawings), the pro rata share of cash collateral shall be distributed to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth in this Section 11; 

(v) fifth, to the payment in full of all other Obligations, in each case ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
Letter of Credit Issuers based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to them in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and payable; and 

(vi) finally, the balance, if any, after all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required
by law. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from the Borrower or any Credit Party that is not an “eligible contract
participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act shall not be applied to any Excluded Hedge Obligations (it being understood, that in the event that any amount is applied to Obligations other than Excluded Hedge Obligations as a result of this
clause, the Administrative Agent shall make such adjustments as it determines are appropriate to distributions pursuant to clause fourth above from amounts received from “eligible contract participants” under the Commodity Exchange
Act to ensure, as nearly as possible, that the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to Obligations described in clause fourth above by the holders of any Excluded Hedge Obligations are the same as the proportional aggregate
recoveries with respect to other Obligations pursuant to clause fourth above). 
 If any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral
after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired (without any pending drawings), such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. 

  
 108 

 SECTION 12. The Administrative Agent 

12.1 Authorization and Action. 

(a) Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this
Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent under the Credit Documents and each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each
Letter of Credit Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Credit Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies
that the Administrative Agent may have under such Credit Documents. 
 (b) As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the
other Credit Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so
acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Credit Documents), and, unless and until revoked in
writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith
believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other
Credit Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may affect a forfeiture,
modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek
clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Credit Documents, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by
the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

(c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf
of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing: 
  

	 	(i)	the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or
holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the
term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Credit Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of
any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim
against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; 

  
 109 

	 	(ii)	where the Administrative Agent is required or deemed to act as a trustee in respect of any Collateral over which a security interest has been created pursuant to a Credit Document expressed to be governed by the laws of
the United States, the obligations and liabilities of the Administrative Agent to the Secured Parties in its capacity as trustee shall be excluded to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; and 

 

	 	(iii)	nothing in this Agreement or any Credit Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account.

 (d) The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other
Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their
respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful
misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent. 
 (e) None of any
Co-Documentation Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any Bookrunner shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and shall incur no liability
hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder. 
 (f) In
case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Credit Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the
principal of any Loan or any other Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and
empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
  

	 	(i)	to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Unpaid Drawings and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents
as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.8, 2.10, 4.1, 5.4 and 13.5) allowed in
such judicial proceeding; and 

  

	 	(ii)	to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender,
each Letter of Credit Issuer and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit
Issuers or the

other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Credit Documents (including under
Section 13.5). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer in any such

 (g) The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Letter of
Credit Issuers, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have
any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the
Credit Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article. 
 12.2 Administrative Agent’s Reliance,
Indemnification, Etc. 
 (a) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (x) with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Credit Documents) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be
presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any
Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection
with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for any failure of any Credit Party to perform its obligations
hereunder or thereunder. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice
thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default” or substantially similar wording) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or
have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in
connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Credit Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Credit Document, other than to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, or (vi) the creation,
perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral. 
 (c) Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the
payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 13.6, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 13.6(b), (iii) may consult with
legal 

  
 111 

 
counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by
it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer for any
statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Credit Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the
issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Letter of Credit Issuer, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no
liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or
other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth
in the Credit Documents for being the maker thereof). 
 12.3 Posting of Communications. 

(a) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and
the Letter of Credit Issuers by posting the Communications on IntraLinksTM, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other generally well-recognized electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system
(the “Approved Electronic Platform”). 
 (b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are
secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic
Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a
deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, each of the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an
electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, each of the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the
Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution. 
 (c) THE APPROVED
ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED
ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC
PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ANY CO-DOCUMENTATION AGENT, ANY JOINT LEAD ARRANGER OR ANY BOOKRUNNER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE
PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY CREDIT PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY LETTER OF 

  
 112 

 
CREDIT ISSUER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR
OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY CREDIT PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. 

“Communications” shall mean, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on
behalf of the Borrower or any Credit Party pursuant to any Credit Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer by means of electronic communications
pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform. 
 (d) Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer agrees that
notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each
Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s (as applicable) email
address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address. 

(e) Each of the Lenders, each of the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be
required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies. 

(f) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer to give any notice or other
communication pursuant to any Credit Document in any other manner specified in such Credit Document. 
 12.4 The Administrative Agent
Individually. With respect to its Commitment, Loans, Letter of Credit Commitments and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same
obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be. The terms “Letter of Credit Issuers”, “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”, “Borrowing
Base Required Lenders”, “Majority Lenders”, and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or as one of the
Required Lenders, Borrowing Base Required Lenders, or Majority Lenders, as applicable. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in
any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without
any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuers. 
 12.5 Successor Administrative Agent. 

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit
Issuers and the Borrower, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days 

  
 113 

 
after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be
unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall
succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take
such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents. 

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of
Credit Issuers and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be
vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security Document and Credit Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of
the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that the
retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Credit Document to the Administrative
Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly
be given or made to each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 13.5, as
well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Credit Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and
their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause
(i) above. 
 12.6 Acknowledgements of Lenders and Letter of Credit Issuers. 

(a) Each Lender represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and that
it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the

  
 114 

 
Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking
or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Closing Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and
Assumption or any other Credit Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Credit Document and each other document required to be delivered to,
or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Closing Date. 
 12.7 Collateral Matters 

(a) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.8 or with respect to a Secured
Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all
powers, rights and remedies under the Credit Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. 

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no arrangements in respect of Cash Management Services the obligations under
which constitute Cash Management Obligations and no Hedging Agreement the obligations under which constitute Hedging Obligations, will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection
with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Credit Party under any Credit Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such arrangement in respect of Cash
Management Services or Hedging Agreement, as applicable, shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Credit Documents and agreed to be bound by the Credit Documents as a
Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph. 
 (c) The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the
Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by
Section 10.2(b). The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the
existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other
Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. 
 12.8 Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby
irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations
pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Credit Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of
debt conducted by (or with the 

  
 115 

 
consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the
Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Majority Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims
receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent
interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative
Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit
bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the
governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed,
directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Majority Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or
vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Majority Lenders contained in Section 13.1 of this Agreement), (iv) the
Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership,
limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and
(v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition
vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity
interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that
the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding
the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any
acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

(i) none of the Administrative Agent or any Co-Documentation Agent, Joint Lead Arranger

of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law (other than by such indemnified person or any of its Related Parties (other than any trustee or advisor)) or to any actual or alleged presence, release or threatened release of
Hazardous Materials involving or attributable to the operations of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Oil and Gas Properties (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”);
provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Related Parties with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent it has been determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified or any of its Related Parties (IT
BEING THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH LENDER, LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES SHALL, IN ALL CASES, BE INDEMNIFIED FOR ITS ORDINARY COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE),
(ii) any material breach of any Credit Document by the party to be indemnified or (iii) disputes, claims, demands, actions, judgments or suits not arising from any act or omission by the Borrower or its Affiliates, brought by an indemnified
Person against any other indemnified Person (other than disputes, claims, demands, actions, judgments or suits involving claims against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such). NO PERSON ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER CLAUSE (D) OF

13.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Letter of Credit Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) except as expressly permitted by Section 13.3, the Borrower may not assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and
(ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 13.6. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Letter of Credit Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in
clause (c) of this Section 13.6) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders and each
other Person entitled to indemnification under Section 13.5) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, any Lender may at any time assign to one or
more assignees (other than the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any natural person) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including participations in L/C
Obligations) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood that the Borrower shall have the right to withhold or delay its consent to any assignment solely if, in
order for such assignment to comply with applicable Requirements of Law, the Borrower would be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority) of: 

(A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment (1) if an Event of Default under
Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 has occurred and is continuing or (2) to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and 

(B) the Administrative Agent and each Letter of Credit Issuer (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Borrower, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 has occurred and is
continuing; provided, further, that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated
above; 

  
 122 

 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the assignor or the assignee; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to
waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; and 
 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
clause (b)(iv) of this Section 13.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.4 and 13.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
Section 13.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this
Section 13.6. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest amounts) of the Loans and L/C Obligations and any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit owing to, each Lender pursuant to
the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, the Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries
in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, each Letter of Credit Issuer and, solely with respect to itself, each other Lender, at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this
Section 13.6 (unless waived) and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 13.6, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment
and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Letter of Credit Issuer, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of
such Lender’s 

  
 123 

 
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the proviso to Section 13.1 that affects such
Participant, provided that the Participant shall have no right to consent to any modification to the percentages specified in the definitions of the terms “Majority Lenders”, “Required Lenders” or “Borrowing Base
Required Lenders”. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 13.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, and
5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this
Section 13.6, including the requirements of clause (e) of Section 5.4). To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 13.8(b) as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.8(a) as though it were a Lender. 

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10, 2.11, or
5.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that the Participant shall be subject to the provisions in Section 2.12 as if it were an assignee under clauses (a) and (b) of this
Section 13.6. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name
and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender 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. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (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 Credit Document) 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, Section 1.163-5 of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations or any applicable
temporary, final or other successor regulations. 
 (d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at
any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank
having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 13.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a
Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment or for any other reason, the Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any
Lender at any time and from time to time after the Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit H
evidencing the Loans owing to such Lender. 

  
 124 

 (e) Subject to Section 13.16, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to
disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its
Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with such
Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement. 
 (f) The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the
same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

13.7 Replacements of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. 

(a) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to
Sections 2.10, or 5.4, (ii) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.17(b) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken or
(iii) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement bank, lending institution or other financial institution; provided that (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (B) no Event of Default under
Section 11.1 or 11.5 shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (C) the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and the Borrower shall pay all other amounts
(other than any disputed amounts), pursuant to Section 2.10, or 5.4, as the case may be) owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (D) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a
Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Letter of Credit Issuer), (E) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such
replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6(b) (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (F) any such replacement shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 

(b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) (i) has failed to consent
to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 13.1 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected or the Required Lenders and with respect to which the Majority Lenders
shall have granted their consent, or (ii) does not consent to a proposed increase of the Borrowing Base with respect to which the Super-Majority Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the
Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent), to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Letter of Credit
Issuer); provided that:    (i) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced (other than principal and interest) shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price
equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender
shall otherwise comply with Section 13.6. 

  
 125 

 (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party hereto agrees that any assignment
pursuant to the terms of this Section 13.7 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender making such assignment need not be
a party thereto. 
 13.8 Adjustments; Set-off. 

(a) If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment in respect of any principal of or interest on
all or part of the Loans made by it, or the participations in Letter of Credit Obligations held by it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant
to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 11.5, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s
Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase for cash at face value from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other
Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds
ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided, however, that, (A) if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter
recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (B) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply
to (1) any payment made by the Borrower or any other Credit Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (2) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, Commitments or participations in Drawings to any assignee or participant or (3) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender as a result of the extension by Lenders of the
maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Commitments or any increase in the Applicable Margin in respect of Loans or Commitments of Lenders that have consented to any such extension. Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing
and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Credit Party rights of
set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation. 

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by
Requirements of Law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, upon any amount becoming due and payable
by the Borrower hereunder or under any Credit Document (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such
Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower (and the Credit Parties, if applicable) and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 

13.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts
(including by facsimile or other electronic transmission, i.e. a “pdf” or a “tif”), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this
Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

  
 126 

 13.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that 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.

Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or 

  
 128 

 
such other Agent pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement (“Confidential Information”), confidential in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential
information of this nature and in any event may make disclosure (a) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority, self-regulatory agency or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or applicable Requirements of Law,
(b) to such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s, any Letter of Credit Issuer’s or such other Agent’s attorneys, professional advisors, independent auditors, trustees or Affiliates, in each case who need to know such
information in connection with the administration of the Credit Documents and are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (c) to an investor or prospective investor in a securitization that agrees its access to information
regarding the Credit Parties, the Loans and the Credit Documents is solely for purposes of evaluating an investment in a securitization and who agrees to treat such information as confidential, (d) to a trustee, collateral manager, servicer,
backup servicer, noteholder or secured party in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for a securitization and who agrees to treat such information as confidential, (e) to a nationally

provided that unless specifically prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law, each Lender, the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each other Agent shall endeavor to notify the Borrower (without any liability for a
failure to so notify the Borrower) of any request made to such Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Agent, as applicable, by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory agency or representative thereof
(other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of
such information; provided further that in no event shall any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Borrower or any Subsidiary. In
addition, each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each other Agent may provide Confidential Information to prospective Transferees or to any pledgee referred to in Section 13.6 or to prospective direct or indirect
contractual counterparties in Hedge Agreements to be entered into in connection with Loans made hereunder as long as such Person is advised of and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.16 or
confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those set forth in the Section 13.16. 
 13.17 Release of
Collateral and Guarantee Obligations. 
 (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by
the Credit Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) in full, as set forth in clauses (b) or (c) below, (ii) upon the Disposition of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other Disposition
permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Credit Party, to the extent such Disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to
it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Credit Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release of such Lien
is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 13.1), (v) to the extent the property constituting
such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee (in accordance with the second succeeding sentence and Section 5.14(b) of the Guarantee) and (vi) as required by the
Administrative Agent to effect any Disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the
Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Credit Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Credit Parties, including the proceeds of any Disposition, all of
which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the 

  
 129 

 
provisions of the Credit Documents. Additionally, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantors shall be released from the Guarantees upon consummation of any transaction permitted
hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary or otherwise becoming an Excluded Subsidiary. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and
agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender. Any representation, warranty or
covenant contained in any Credit Document relating to any such Collateral or Guarantor shall no longer be deemed to be repeated. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, when all Obligations (other than (i) Hedging Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreements, (ii) Cash Management Obligations in respect of
any Secured Cash Management Agreements and (iii) any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding that is not Cash
Collateralized or back-stopped, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and
to release all obligations under any Credit Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be any (i) Hedging Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreements, (ii) Cash Management Obligations in respect of any
Secured Cash Management Agreements and (iii) any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due. Any such release of Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release
any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or
upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Credit Document, upon the Borrower’s election to enter
into an Investment Grade Period pursuant to Section 13.23(a) and delivery of the written notice contemplated therein, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such
actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral (including, without limitation, the filing of record of mortgage releases and UCC termination statements), and to release all obligations under any Security Document, in
each case, within 60 days of the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice. 
 13.18 USA PATRIOT Act. The Administrative
Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the 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 “Patriot
Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent and such
Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
 13.19 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment
by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been
made or such setoff had not occurred, 

  
 130 

 
and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest
thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. 

13.20 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any
part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, or
upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 

13.21 Disposition of Proceeds. The Security Documents contain an assignment by the Borrower and/or the Guarantors unto and in favor of
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders of all of the Borrower’s or each Guarantor’s interest in and to their as-extracted collateral in the form of production and all proceeds
attributable thereto which may be produced from or allocated to the Mortgaged Property. The Security Documents further provide in general for the application of such proceeds to the satisfaction of the Obligations described therein and secured
thereby. Notwithstanding the assignment contained in such Security Documents, until the occurrence of an Event of Default, (a) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will neither notify the purchaser or purchasers of such
production nor take any other action to cause such proceeds to be remitted to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, but the Lenders will instead permit such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (b) the Lenders hereby
authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and/or such Subsidiaries. 

13.22 Collateral Matters; Hedge Agreements. The benefit of the Security Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
any Collateral securing the Obligations shall also extend to and be available on a pro rata basis to any Person (a) under any Secured Hedge Agreement, in each case, after giving effect to all netting arrangements relating to such Hedge
Agreements or (b) under any Secured Cash Management Agreement; provided that, with respect to any Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement that remains secured after the Hedge Bank thereto or the Cash Management Bank
thereunder is no longer a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the provisions of Section 12 shall also continue to apply to such Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank in consideration of its benefits hereunder and each such Hedge Bank or Cash
Management Bank, as applicable, shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent, promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such other documents, agreements and instruments reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to
evidence the continued applicability of the provisions of Section 12. No Person shall have any voting rights under any Credit Document solely as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured
Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement. 
 13.23 Investment Grade Election. 

(a) At any time that is not an Investment Grade Period, on any date on which the Borrower has either (i) a Rating from Moody’s of
Baa3 or better or (ii) a Rating from S&P of BBB- or better, the Borrower may provide written notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to enter into an Investment Grade Period, together with
a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower confirming that (A) no Event of Default exists, (B) the release of the Security Documents securing the Obligations does not violate the terms of any Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured
Cash Management Agreement, and (C) the Hedge Agreements (including the Secured Hedge Agreements) and the Cash Management Agreements (including any Secured Cash Management Agreements) of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not
otherwise secured (except to the extent secured by a Permitted Lien), which Investment Grade Period will commence upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such notice. 

  
 131 

 (b) At any time during an Investment Grade Period, the Borrower may provide notice to the
Administrative Agent of its election to exit such Investment Grade Period, which Investment Grade Period will end upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such notice. 

13.24 Existing Credit Agreement. On the Closing Date, this Agreement shall supersede and replace in its entirety the Existing Credit
Agreement; provided, however, that (a) all loans, Existing Letters of Credit, and other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on such date shall continue to constitute Loans, Letters of Credit
and other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under this Agreement, (b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the Credit Documents hereunder shall not constitute a novation, refinancing or any other fundamental change in
the relationship among the parties and (c) the Loans, Letters of Credit, and other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities outstanding hereunder, to the extent outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the date
hereof, shall constitute the same loans, letters of credit, and other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities as were outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement. 

13.25 Reaffirmation and Grant of Security Interest. Each Credit Party hereby (a) confirms that each Security Document (as defined
in the Existing Credit Agreement) to which it is a party or is otherwise bound and all Collateral encumbered thereby, will continue to guarantee or secure, as the case may be, to the fullest extent possible in accordance with the Credit Documents,
the payment and performance of all Obligations under this Agreement and the Secured Indebtedness (as such term is defined in the Security Documents) under the Security Documents, as the case may be, including without limitation the payment and
performance of all such Obligations under this Agreement and the Secured Indebtedness under the Security Documents, and (b) reaffirms its grant to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of a continuing Lien on and
security interest in and to such Credit Party’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Collateral as collateral security for the prompt payment and performance in full when due of the Obligations under this Agreement and the Secured
Indebtedness under the Security Documents (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms thereof. 

13.26 Reallocation of Commitments and Loans. The Lenders (including the Departing Lenders) party to the Existing Credit Agreement have
agreed among themselves to reallocate their respective Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) as contemplated by this Agreement. On the Closing Date and after giving effect to such reallocation and adjustment of the Total
Commitment, the Commitment and Applicable Percentage of each Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) and each Lender shall own its Applicable Percentage of the outstanding Loans. The reallocation and adjustment to the Commitments of
each Lender as contemplated by this Section 13.26 shall be deemed to have been consummated pursuant to the terms of the Assignment and Assumption attached as Exhibit G hereto as if each of the Lenders had executed an
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such reallocation and adjustment. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby consent to such reallocation and adjustment of the Commitments. The Administrative Agent hereby waives the $3,500 processing
and recordation fee set forth in Section 13.6(b)(ii)(C) with respect to the assignments and reallocations of the Commitments contemplated by this Section 13.26. To the extent requested by any
Lender, and in accordance with Section 2.11, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within the time period prescribed by Section 2.11, any amounts required to be paid by the Borrower under
Section 2.11 in the event the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Loan or the conversion of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto is required in connection with the
reallocation contemplated by this Section 13.26. After giving effect to this Section 13.26, as of the Closing Date, each Departing Lender shall cease to be a Lender under this Agreement or have any
rights or obligations hereunder (except with respect to any indemnification obligations of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and any other provisions which by their terms expressly survive repayment of the Loans and the termination of the
Credit Documents). 

  
 132 

 13.27 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA
Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial
Institution arising under any Credit Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may
be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any
Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in full or in part
or cancellation of any such liability; 
 (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of
ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with
respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or 
 (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in
connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 

  
 133 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused a counterpart of this Agreement to be
duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
