                    AMENDED OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AGREEMENT

     THIS AMENDED AGREEMENT, made and entered into by and between the BLACKFEET
TRIBAL BUSINESS COUNCIL OF THE BLACKFEET INDIAN TRIBE OF THE BLACKFEET INDIAN
RESERVATION, P.O. Box 850, Browning, MT 49417, hereinafter referred to as the
"BLACKFEET TRIBE", and MILLER EXPLORATION COMPANY, a Delaware Corporation, 333
Clay, Suite 4605, Houston, TX 77002, hereinafter referred to as "MEXP".

                                    RECITALS

     1.   On the 19/th/ day of February, 1999 the parties entered into an OIL
          AND GAS EXPLORATION AGREEMENT pursuant to the terms of 25 U.S.C. Sec.
          2102.

     2.   That Agreement was subsequently approved by the Bureau of Indian
          Affairs on behalf of the Department of the Interior on the 26/th/ day
          of February, 1999.

     3.   Pursuant to the February 19, 1999, OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AGREEMENT,
          MEXP agreed to pay to the Tribe, the sum of TWO MILLION FIFTY THOUSAND
          DOLLARS ($2,050,000.00) as consideration for the exploration and
          development rights represented by the Agreement.

     4.   Said consideration was to be in lieu of and not in addition to bonus
          and/or advance delayed rental payments with respect to the lands
          subject to the Agreement.

     5.   Prior to the time MEXP commenced its drilling operations, a dispute
          arose regarding an MEXP request for an extension to commence the
          drilling program envisioned by the Agreement.

     6.   The Parties were unable to resolve the dispute, and both the Blackfeet
          Tribe and the Indian Bureau of Indian Affairs on behalf of the
          Department of the Interior moved to cancel the Agreement.

     7.   MEXP appealed the cancellation through the Interior Board of Indian
          Appeals and filed a collateral action seeking enforcement of the
          Arbitration clause of the Agreement in the Federal District Court of
          Montana.

     8.   The Interior Board of Indian Appeals subsequently reversed the Bureau
          of Indian Affairs' termination of the Agreement and further ruled that
          MEXP was entitled to enforcement of the Arbitration clause of the
          Agreement.

<PAGE>

     9.   In order to avoid further delay and to avoid the uncertainty and costs
          of further pursuing the dispute (including arbitration and
          litigation), and to place the parties on a footing that will enable
          them to pursue a productive business relationship, the Parties have
          entered into this AMENDED OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AGREEMENT.

     10.  The Parties expressly agree and acknowledge that the intent of this
          AMENDED OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AGREEMENT ("this Agreement") is that
          it is an amendment to and extension of the February 19, 1999, OIL AND
          GAS EXPLORATION AGREEMENT, Contract Number: IMDA 99 14-20-0251-7498,
          and it is intended to fully and finally resolve the dispute which
          arose under that Agreement, to allow the Parties to move forward in
          good faith effort to complete the original commitments which were
          bargained for by both Parties hereto.

                                   WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the lands set forth and described on Exhibit "A", attached hereto
and by this reference incorporated herein (the "Subject Lands"), together with
the oil and gas mineral estate lying thereunder, are held by the United States
of America, Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, as Trustee for
the benefit of the Blackfeet Tribe of Indians; and

     WHEREAS, the Blackfeet Tribe represents that it has the authority, pursuant
to the "Indian Mineral Development Act of 1982", to enter into this Agreement
and commit the Subject Lands to the terms, covenants and conditions hereof; and

     WHEREAS, the Blackfeet Tribe agrees that MEXP may acquire an interest in
and to the Subject Lands, and in and to the oil and gas mineral estate lying
thereunder and oil, liquid hydrocarbons, all gases and their respective
constituent products, including but not limited to oil, gas, and hydrocarbons
from coal, shale, or other such formations or strata, produced therefrom, under
and pursuant to the terms, covenants and conditions set forth hereafter; and

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, covenants and conditions
hereinafter set forth, to be kept and performed by and between the parties
hereto, it is agreed as follows:

     1. LANDS. The lands and the oil and gas mineral estate lying thereunder to
be subjected to the terms, covenants and conditions of the Oil and Gas
Exploration and Development Agreement are Blackfeet Tribal oil and gas mineral
lands lying within the boundaries of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation not
currently productive of oil and/or gas or other hydrocarbon substances and not
currently subjected or committed to existing oil and gas leases or any other
agreement or arrangement which would prelude MEXP from obtaining valid interests
therein from the Blackfeet Tribe pursuant to this Agreement. It is the intent of
this Agreement that the lands to be subjected to the terms, covenants and
conditions hereof shall be all unleased Blackfeet Indian Tribal lands and
appurtenant oil and gas mineral rights on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation set
out and described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto. Any reference herein to the
Subject Lands is likewise a reference to the oil and gas mineral estate of

<PAGE>

the Blackfeet Tribe lying thereunder and appurtenant.

     2. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Agreement shall be effective on the date of
approval ("EFFECTIVE DATE") thereof by the Secretary of the Department of the
Interior or his duly recognized agent or representative (the "Secretary"). Upon
receipt of notice of such approval MEXP shall commence the exercise of its
rights granted herein and fulfillment of its duties and obligations likewise
provided for in this Agreement.

     Upon the full and complete execution of this Agreement by the parties
hereto, the Blackfeet Tribe shall forthwith submit this Agreement to the Bureau
of Indian Affairs and thereafter shall use its best efforts in securing approval
thereof by the Secretary.

     3. EXCLUSIVELY. The rights granted herein by the Blackfeet Tribe to MEXP
are exclusive to MEXP and therefore for so long as this Agreement and any leases
issued pursuant hereto, are in full force and effect the Blackfeet Tribe shall
not commit the Subject Lands, or the oil and gas mineral rights lying
thereunder, to the terms, covenants and conditions of any oil and gas lease(s)
or any other agreement or arrangement which would be adverse to the rights
granted to MEXP herein.

     4. OWNERSHIP. The Blackfeet Tribe represents that, according to the records
and files of the Blackfeet Indian Agency, Browning, Montana, the Subject Lands
are not now subject to any existing oil and gas lease(s) or any other agreement
or arrangement which would preclude MEXP from exercising any of its rights
granted herein or performing any of its duties and obligations likewise set
forth herein. Notwithstanding, MEXP shall not rely on said representation and
MEXP has the duty and obligation to verify ownership of the oil and gas mineral
estate underlying the Subject Lands. The Blackfeet Tribe agrees to cooperate in
making land records and files of Tribe and Bureau of Indian Affairs to MEXP.

     5. CONSIDERATION. The Parties expressly agree and acknowledge that as
consideration for the February 19, 1999, OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AGREEMENT
Contract Number: IMDA 99 14-20-0251-7498, MEXP paid to the Tribe the sum of ONE
MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00). Said consideration is expressly acknowledged
and incorporated in to this Agreement.

     Pursuant to the February 19, 1999, OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AGREEMENT, MEXP
was also obligated to pay the Tribe an additional sum of ONE MILLION FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,050,000.00), which was to be payable on the second and
third anniversary dates of the Agreement in equal installments of $525,000.00
each.

     The parties now agree as part of this Agreement that MEXP shall pay ONE
MILLION FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, subject to the following terms:

     1.   The first payment of FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
          ($525,000.00) shall be tendered and delivered to the Bureau of Indian
          Affairs within five business days after the signing of this Agreement
          by the Blackfeet

<PAGE>

          Tribe and MEXP, and said amount shall be distributed to the Blackfeet
          Tribe immediately upon final approval of this Agreement by the
          Secretary. In the event this Agreement is not approved, by the
          Secretary within one hundred twenty (120) days after execution of this
          Agreement by the parties, the Blackfeet Tribe acknowledges that the
          funds belong to MEXP and the Tribe will cooperate with MEXP in
          obtaining the return of such funds to MEXP; and this Agreement shall
          be deemed void and will not effect the rights, obligations and claims
          of the parties under the February 19, 1999, OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION
          AGREEMENT.

     2.   MEXP shall have the right, but not the obligation to make a second
          payment of FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($525,000.00) to
          the Secretary within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Effective
          Date of this Agreement. In the event MEXP fails to make said payment
          within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Effective Date of this
          Agreement, MEXP shall immediately surrender, relinquish and be
          divested of any and all rights under this Agreement. This surrender,
          relinquishment, and divestiture shall be the Blackfeet Tribe's
          exclusive and sole remedy in the event MEXP shall fail to make the
          payment provided under this subparagraph. And, in the event of MEXP's
          surrender, relinquishment and divestiture of its rights pursuant to
          this provision, MEXP shall also be relieved of any and all obligations
          it may have arising under or relating in any way to this Agreement.

     All payments to the Department provided for immediately above shall be in
the U.S. funds and shall be tendered in the form of cashier's check, bank to
bank wire transfers, or other immediately available funds payable to the
Department.

     All monetary payments provided for above shall be in lieu of and not in
addition to bonus and/or advance delay rental payments for the execution,
acknowledgment, issuance and delivery of the oil and gas leases provided for in
Article 6 hereafter. Very specifically, said monetary payments totaling TWO
MILLION FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,050,000.00) represent and include such bonus
and advance delay rental payments for the issuance of the intended oil and gas
lease and MEXP shall not be obligated to pay any additional consideration at the
time of the issuance of any such oil and gas lease provided for herein. The
parties acknowledge and agree that the TWO MILLION FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
($2,050,000.00) payment provided for herein and the below described overriding
royalty represents consideration for the Blackfeet Tribe's execution of this
Agreement and additionally the subsequent issuance of oil and gas lease covering
and pertaining to the Subject Lands. In addition, the parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that during the Exploration Phase of this Agreement, as provided for
hereafter, that with regard to oil and gas leases issued hereunder during said
Exploration Phase, MEXP shall pay no rentals or advance rentals, it being the
purpose and intent hereof that such rentals shall only become a MEXP obligation
following termination of said Exploration Phase inasmuch as said rentals are
included in the collective TWO MILLION FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,050,000.00).

         In further consideration of this Agreement, MEXP will assign a
proportionate 2% (two percent) overriding royalty on MEXP's net leaseholds on
all fee oil and gas leases that MEXP

<PAGE>

now owns or may hereafter acquire during the term of this Agreement or during
the term of any lease issued pursuant hereto within the boundaries of the
Blackfeet Reservation (as such boundaries are depicted on the map attached as
Exhibit "C"), with such assignment continuing so long as this Agreement or any
Leases issued pursuant hereto remains in full force and effect. Attached hereto
as Exhibit "D" is the form of the Assignment to be used, provided however that
to the extent any term or condition of Exhibit D conflicts with any provision of
this Agreement, then the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern.

     6.   EXPLORATION PHASE/EARNING WELLS.

     A.   The Exploration Phase of this Agreement shall be for a term of five
          (5) years commencing on the Effective Date. The Five (5) year period
          described above is referred to as the "Exploration Phase" in this
          Agreement.

     B.   In each of the five years of the Exploration Phase of this Agreement
          (commencing on the Effective Date), MEXP shall commence operations to
          drill at least two (2) wells at locations of its choice within and
          upon the Subject Lands or on Allottee Lands within the Subject Lands,
          to test for the presence of oil, liquid hydrocarbons, all gasses and
          their respective constituent products, including but not limited to
          oil, gas, and hydrocarbons from coal, shale, or other such formations
          or strata, or make the in lieu payments described below. In total, if
          MEXP drills all the wells provided for under this Agreement, MEXP will
          drill ten (10) wells within the five (5) year period. The anticipated
          depth of each well, together with the proposed drilling program, shall
          be submitted to the Blackfeet Tribe sufficiently in advance of
          commencement of operations to drill and MEXP shall comply with all
          rules and regulations administered by the Blackfeet Tribe and/or the
          Bureau of Indian Affairs regarding the drilling of said well.

     C.   Upon completion of each oil and/or gas well, including those
          successfully completed and able to produce in paying quantities, shut
          in wells, testing wells, and those that may be plugged or abandoned,
          MEXP shall have the absolute right, without payment of any other
          consideration, to convert ten thousand (10,000) net acres per well of
          Blackfeet Tribal mineral acres underlying the Subject Lands to oil and
          gas leasehold interests under and pursuant to the terms, covenants and
          conditions and in the form of Exhibit "B" attached hereto and by this
          reference incorporated herein as if set forth at length in the body of
          this Agreement (provided however that to the extent any term or
          condition of Exhibit B conflicts with any provision of this Agreement,
          then the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern). Each
          ten thousand (10,000) net oil and gas mineral acres shall be selected
          by MEXP from, as best possible but in the reasonable discretion of
          MEXP, contiguously located Tribal oil and gas mineral acres subject to
          this Agreement.

     D.   The Blackfeet Tribe and MEXP agree that the Secretary's review and
          approval of this Agreement include review and approval of the terms
          and conditions of the

<PAGE>

          form of lease attached as Exhibit "B", including determinations that
          the terms of the Exhibit "B" lease are in the best interests of the
          Blackfeet Tribe, and that the lease complies with the requirements of
          25 C.F.R. Part 225 (2001). The parties acknowledge that certain
          environmental reviews as described in 25 C.F.R.ss. 225.24 may be
          required at the time of lease issuance, or at the time MEXP plans to
          drill wells under those leases.

     E.   MEXP may exercise its rights to convert acreage into oil and gas
          leases as provided in Paragraph 6C at any time within the 5 years
          Exploration Phase and such rights to convert acreage into oil and gas
          leases may be exercised individually. Should MEXP receive an extension
          under Article 6N below during the fifth year after the Effective Date,
          MEXP shall have up to and including the expiration of extension to
          exercise its right to convert acreage into oil and gas leases as
          provided in Article 6C.

     F.   In the event MEXP chooses to exercise its right to convert acreage
          under this Agreement into leases, MEXP shall exercise that right by
          delivering a written notice to the Blackfeet Tribe of its exercise,
          together with the designation of acreage, by reference to public lands
          survey, to be leased.

     G.   Within 30 days of receipt of MEXP's notice under subparagraph F., the
          Blackfeet Tribe shall execute the oil and gas leases in the form
          attached as Exhibit "B", and submit the executed leases to the
          Secretary for such review and approval as may be necessary in light of
          the review and approval of the lease form at the time this Agreement
          is approved. The Blackfeet Tribe covenants and agrees to use its best
          efforts in securing the approval of the Secretary of the oil and gas
          leases at that time.

     H.   It is the purpose and intent hereof, as indicated on Exhibit "B",
          attached hereto, that each oil and gas lease acquired by MEXP from the
          Blackfeet Tribe pursuant to this Agreement shall be a development
          lease and cover and include six hundred forty (640) acres of Blackfeet
          Tribal mineral rights, which acreage for inclusion in any such oil and
          gas lease may be selected by MEXP from the Subject Lands and can
          include Blackfeet Tribal oil and gas mineral rights on an aggregated
          basis from as many sections of land necessary to cover and include,
          but not exceed, six hundred forty (640) acres. As to each six hundred
          forty acres (640) selected for inclusion in any such oil and gas lease
          the same shall be covered by and subjected to separate and distinct
          oil and gas lease and it is contemplated herein that upon the
          conversion of ten thousand (10,000) net acre block of Blackfeet Tribal
          mineral rights as provided for above that approximately sixteen (16)
          separate and distinct oil and gas leases will be issued therefore,
          each such oil and gas lease a separate and distinct legal contract and
          each such oil and gas lease and the acreage subject to it to be held
          by production or as otherwise specified under the terms and conditions
          of the lease. Specifically, production from or attributable to only
          one (1) such oil and gas lease will not hold by production an entire
          ten thousand

<PAGE>

          (10,000) net acre block that MEXP may convert to leases under the
          terms of this Agreement.

     I.   In the event MEXP determines not to drill any well contemplated under
          this Agreement, MEXP shall notify the Blackfeet Tribe in writing of
          that decision, and MEXP may pay the Blackfeet Tribe Fifty Thousand
          Dollars ($50,000.00) in lieu of drilling that well ("In Lieu
          Payment"). The In Lieu Payment shall be made no later than the end of
          the period within which MEXP would have had to commence operations to
          drill the well. The decision not to drill shall not be considered a
          breach of this Agreement. In the event MEXP makes an In Lieu Payment
          as provided under this subparagraph, the payment shall not give rise
          to a right to convert acreage into oil and gas leasehold interest
          under this Agreement.

     J.   MEXP shall have the right to drill for shallow gas and/or oil
          reserves, and any said wells shall be included in and countable toward
          MEXP's drilling commitment set forth in this Article, so long as said
          wells are based upon scientific data which in the opinion of MEXP
          provides some reasonable expectation that the wells might establish
          production in paying quantities of oil and/or gas.

     K.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for above in this
          Article 6, MEXP shall have the right, at its election, to commence and
          compete the drilling operations or make the In Lieu Payment on the ten
          (10) obligation wells provided for above in less than five (5) years.
          For the sake of clarity and by way of example only, should MEXP elect
          to drill five (5) wells upon the Subject Lands and/or upon Allottee
          Lands within the Subject Lands, in the first year of the Exploration
          Phase, and five (5) wells within and upon the Subject Lands and/or
          upon Allottee Lands within the Subject Lands, in the second year of
          the, then and in that event the ten (10) well obligation provided for
          herein shall have been satisfied in all respects and, MEXP shall then
          have the right to convert 100,000 net acres of the Subject Lands and
          the oil and gas mineral estate lying thereunder to oil and gas
          leasehold interests in the manner provided for herein. Again for the
          sake of clarity and by way of example only, should MEXP elect to drill
          four (4) wells in the first year of the Exploration Phase, it need not
          drill a well in the second year of the Exploration Phase, but shall be
          obligated thereafter to drill two (2) wells in the third, fourth and
          fifth years of the Exploration Phase. Specifically, the purpose and
          intent of this Agreement is for MEXP to begin operations to drill ten
          (10) wells (or make In Lieu Payments) within and upon the Subject
          Lands and/or Allottee Lands within the Subject Lands within the five
          (5) year Exploration Phase of this Agreement.

     L.   All drilling and other exploration and development activity conducted
          by MEXP shall be conducted by MEXP with due diligence, in a
          workmanlike manner and in conformity with good industry practice.

<PAGE>

     M.   Upon the release, cancellation or termination of any oil and gas lease
          as provided for in Exhibit "B", MEXP shall forthwith tender, deliver
          and relinquish to the Blackfeet Tribe, all data and information
          regarding any such oil and gas lease and the lands covered thereby,
          excepting all materials and data derived or obtained by use of 3D
          seismic, which data and information shall thereafter be proprietary to
          the Blackfeet Tribe and the sole and exclusive property thereof.

     N.   MEXP may make request for extension of its annual drilling commitments
          hereunder, provided that each extension shall not exceed one (1) year.
          MEXP shall not make requests for extensions of time longer than
          necessary, and the Tribe shall not unreasonably withhold its consent
          for extension. MEXP shall provide an explanation for its request for
          extension when the request is submitted, and will not make requests
          for extension for financial reasons. MEXP shall pay the Blackfeet
          Tribe for any extension of time which is granted pursuant to this
          subparagraph. The amount of consideration to the Blackfeet Tribe for
          extension of annual drilling commitments (which would include both
          wells) shall be determined by multiplying $1.00 per acre per year
          times the remaining Subject Lands not yet subject to MEXP's right to
          convert to leases at the time of the request for an extension is made
          to the Tribe in writing, prorated by the number of months for which
          the extension of time is granted.

     O.   The parties understand that, notwithstanding approval of this
          Agreement by the Secretary, future decisions must be made by the
          Secretary and that those decisions, including but not limited to,
          approval of geophysical exploration permits, applications to drill,
          and development and production permits each are decision points at
          which environmental compliance will be considered before approval by
          the Bureau of Indian Affairs will be granted.

     P.   In the event MEXP does not timely comply with the drilling or In Lieu
          Payment commitments, notwithstanding any obligation to arbitrate any
          dispute between the parties in accordance with Paragraph 12 of this
          Agreement, the Blackfeet Tribe may request the Secretary to initiate
          cancellations proceedings in accordance with 25 C.F.R. ss. 225.36
          (2001). In the event this Agreement is cancelled as a result of any
          proceedings under this Agreement for failure to meet the drilling or
          payment commitments, that cancellation shall not affect any right that
          MEXP earned prior to the initiation of cancellation proceedings to
          convert acreage into leases, and MEXP may exercise that right in
          accordance with the terms of this Agreement even though the Agreement
          may otherwise have been terminated.

     Q.   Overall, it is contemplated and intended that upon the timely and
          proper commencement and completion of operations for the drilling of
          ten (10) wells within the Exploration Phase of this Agreement, MEXP
          shall have earned the absolute right to convert for development one
          hundred thousand (100,000) net Blackfeet Tribal oil and gas mineral
          acres underlying and/or appurtenant to the Subject Lands to oil and
          gas leasehold interests in the manner provided for herein.

<PAGE>

          In the event the Blackfeet Tribe does not have 100,000 net development
          acres available for oil and gas leases within the Subject Land then
          MEXP in consultation with the Tribe may select replacement acreage on

the United States District Court determines that it lacks jurisdiction, either
party may seek enforcement of the arbitration decision in a court of competent
jurisdiction. The Blackfeet Tribe waives its sovereign immunity from suit and
consents to arbitration and judicial enforcement of any arbitration decision.

District Court for the District of Montana. In the event the United States
District Court for the District of Montana determines that it lacks

competent jurisdiction. With regard to any waiver of such sovereign immunity the
Blackfeet Tribe agrees to pledge, if applicable, only those assets contained in
or subject to the Agreement as to enforcement of any judgment obtained pursuant
to the Agreement. Moreover, the Blackfeet Tribe agrees to waive any requirement
that MEXP must exhaust tribal remedies before invoking this arbitration
provision.

sixty (60) days of the date the controversy arises, unless said time is
otherwise extended by agreement of the parties in writing. For purposes of this
Article, the "date the controversy arises" shall be defined to mean the date a
party delivers to the other party a written notice that a dispute or controversy

shall neither be considered a part of nor shall they affect the construction or
interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

     19. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or
incapable of being enforced under any rule or law, all other terms covenants,
conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full
force and effect.

     20. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one (1) or more

obligations hereunder, by circumstances that are not reasonably within MEXP's

MEXP shall not be liable in damages so long as such circumstances continue.
These circumstances include, but are not limited to the following: earthquake,
storm, flood or other acts of God, fire, war, rebellion, insurrection, riots,
strikes or failure of carriers to transport or furnish facilities for
transportation, or orders, rules or regulations of any federal, state or
governmental agency, including the Blackfeet Tribe, and delays associated with

approvals prior to commencing drilling operation. The time of such delay or
interruption shall not be counted against MEXP, anything in this Agreement to
the contrary provided; provided further that any and all suspended operations
shall be commenced within a reasonable time after the cause or causes of any
such delay no longer exist.

     However, the Tribe presumes that MEXP has the financial capability of
meeting all its obligations under this Amended Agreement, and therefore
financial or economic necessity or need on behalf of MEXP shall not be grounds
under this provision for any delay by MEXP in meeting its obligations hereunder.

“SECTION 2.8. Increase in Commitments. 
 
(a) Provided there exists no Default, upon
notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Affected Lenders (as defined below)), the Borrower may from time to time, request an increase in one or more of the Term A Loan Commitment, Term B Loan Commitment or Revolving
Commitment by an aggregate amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $50,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify (i) whether the requested Commitment increase shall
be made to one or more of the Term A Commitment, the Term B Commitment or the Revolving Loan Commitment (each such increased Commitment shall be referred to herein as the “Affected Tranche”) and (ii) the time period within which
each Lender with a Commitment in an Affected Tranche (each, an “Affected Lender”) is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Affected Lenders).
Each Affected Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment in the Affected Tranche, and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Term A
Percentage, Term B Percentage or RL Percentage, as applicable, of such requested increase. Any Affected Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment in the Affected Tranche. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Affected Lender of the Affected Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, the Borrower may also invite additional assignees to
become Lenders pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.11.1 and by executing a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel. 
 
(b) If one or more of the Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of all such increases among Affected Tranches, if applicable, and within each Affected Tranche and
among each Affected Lender. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Affected Lenders of the final allocation of such increases and the Increase Effective Date. As a condition precedent to such increases, the Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Affected Lender) signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by
the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article VI and the other Loan Documents are true and correct
on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this
Section 2.8, the representations and warranties contained in subsection (a) of Section 6.5 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent 
 

8 

statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section
7.1.1, and (B) no Default exists. Effective as of the Increase Effective Date, each Affected Lender having a Commitment which is increased as of such date pursuant to this section (including any new Lenders joining this Agreement as of such
date) shall purchase from each Affected Lender having a Commitment which is decreased as of such date pursuant to this section, and each such latter Affected Lender shall sell and assign to such purchasing Affected Lenders, in each case at par and
without recourse (other than as otherwise provided herein) such portions of the outstanding Loans (or participations in Letters of Credit, if applicable) with respect to each Affected Tranche to the extent necessary to result in the outstanding
Loans (and participations in Letters of Credit, if applicable) of each Affected Tranche being ratable with each Lender’s revised Term A Percentages, Term B Percentages or RL Percentages, as applicable, arising from any nonratable increase in
such Affected Tranche or any non-ratable allocation to an Affected Lender. Such purchases, sales and assignments shall be funded in cash by each purchasing Affected Lender to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each selling and assigning
Affected Lender, on the Increase Effective Date. On the Increase Effective Date, the Borrower shall compensate each Affected Lender, in immediate available funds for any losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by such Lender in connection with the
sales, assignments and purchases contemplated by this section with respect to any LIBO Rate Loan subject to such transactions, including, without limitation, (i) in the case of each purchasing Affected Lender having purchased one or more LIBO Rate
Loans (or portions thereof) hereunder bearing interest at rates which are less than the prevailing rate of interest on LIBO Rate Loans as of the Increase Effective Date and (ii) in the case of each selling Affected Lender having sold or assigned one
or more LIBO Rate Loans (or portions thereof) hereunder bearing interest at rates which are higher than the prevailing rate of interest on LIBO Rate Loans as of the Increase Effective Date.”

10. No Novation. The amendment of the Credit Agreement pursuant to this Agreement shall have the effect of a substitution of certain terms of the Credit Agreement as set forth herein, but will not have the effect of causing a
novation, refinancing or other repayment of the “Obligations” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement (hereinafter, the “Original Obligations”) or a termination or extinguishment of the Liens securing such Original
Obligations, which Original Obligations shall remain outstanding and repayable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and which Liens shall remain attached, enforceable and perfected securing such Original Obligations and all additional Obligations
