 Exhibit 10.3 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE 

December 15, 2016 
 Culver City,
California 
 WHEREAS, NantHealth, Inc. (formerly Nant Health, LLC), a Delaware corporation, with offices at 9920 Jefferson Boulevard, Culver City,
California 90232 (the “Company”), entered into a demand promissory note dated January 4, 2016 (the “Original Note”) in favor of Nant Capital, LLC, with offices at 9922 Jefferson Boulevard, Culver City,
California 90232 (“Holder”); 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Holder amended and restated the Original Note on May 9, 2016 (the
“First Restated Note”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Holder wish to amend and restate the First Restated Note with the terms of this Second
Amended and Restated Promissory Note (this “Note”). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the Company and Holder do
hereby (a) amend, restate and replace the First Restated Note in its entirety and (b) otherwise agree as follows: 
 1. Principal and
Interest. For value received, the Company promises to pay to the order of Holder, or to the order of Holder’s registered assigns, the principal amount of each advance (each, an “Advance” and, collectively, the
“Advances”) made by Holder to the Company pursuant to this Note, in immediately available funds, at the times and in the manner set forth herein. 

(a) Advances. The principal amount of each Advance made by Holder to the Company hereunder, the date on which each such Advance is
made, the amount of any prepayment or partial prepayment of any such Advance, and the outstanding principal amount of each such Advance, shall be specified in Schedule A attached hereto. Holder shall be entitled to update Schedule A
hereto from time to time to reflect updated information relating to the Advances made by Holder to the Company hereunder and any prepayments or partial prepayments of the outstanding principal amounts of any such Advances. The information reflected
in any such updated version of Schedule A delivered by Holder to the Company shall, in the absence of manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information recorded, provided, however, that
the failure of Holder to update the information specified in Schedule A in connection with the making by Holder to the Company of any Advance or the payment or partial prepayment by the Company of any such Advance shall not affect the
obligations of the Company hereunder to repay the principal amount of any such Advance (and any interest unpaid having accrued thereon) in accordance with the terms of this Note. 

(b) Interest. The outstanding principal amount of each Advance made by Holder to the Company pursuant to this Note shall bear interest
from and including the date such Advance is made to but excluding the date such Advance is paid in full at a per annum rate equal to five percent (5%), compounded annually and computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of
365 or 366 days, as the case may be. All amounts of principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, interest due and payable with respect to any Advance not paid when due, whether upon demand of Holder or upon the acceleration thereof pursuant to
Section 2 hereof, shall bear interest (“Default interest”) from the date due until the date paid in full at an overdue rate per annum equal to seven percent (7%). Such Default Interest shall be payable
on demand and such and such increased rate of interest shall continue until such delinquent amount(s), with interest thereon at such increased rate, shall have been paid in full. Acceptance of any delinquent payments by Holder shall not waive or
affect any prior demand or default. 
 (c) Maturity Date. The unpaid principal of each Advance, and any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, shall be due and payable on June 15, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). Subject to Section 3, the Company may prepay the outstanding amount of any Advance (together with accrued and unpaid

  
 1 

 
interest thereon) at any time, either in whole or in part, without premium or penalty and without the prior consent of Holder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for each and every
repayment made hereunder by the Company, Holder shall have the option (but not the obligation) to require that the Company repay any such amount in cash, in Series A-2 Units of NantOmics, LLC (with each Series A-2 Unit valued at $1.484) or in shares of common stock of the Company issued pursuant to a valid exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (with each share valued at
$18.61255), or any combination of the foregoing, in each case at the sole discretion of Holder and, in the case of Series A-2 Units of NantOmics, LLC, solely to the extent the Company then holds Series A-2 Units of NantOmics, LLC. 
 2. Events of Default. The entire aggregate principal amount of the
Advances made by Holder pursuant to this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, is subject to prepayment in whole or in part upon the initiation of any bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership or reorganization by or
against the Company, or a general assignment of assets by the Company for the benefit of creditors (each, an “Event of Default”). Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all amounts outstanding hereunder in respect of the
principal amount of any Advance and all unpaid interest having accrued thereon, shall be immediately due and payable without notice to or demand on the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, any payment obligation of the Company pursuant to this
Section 2 is subject to Section 3. 
 3. Subordination. 

(a) Agreement of Subordination. The Company and the Holder each covenant and agree that the Note shall be issued subject to the
provisions of this Section 3; and each holder of the Note, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions. The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Note shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt (as defined below), whether outstanding at the date of this Note or
thereafter incurred. For purposes of the Note, “Senior Debt” shall mean the principal of, premium, if any, interest (including all interest accruing subsequent to the commencement of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, whether or not a
claim for post-petition interest is allowable as a claim in any such proceeding), and all fees, costs, expenses and other amounts accrued or due on or in connection with the Company’s Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 issued pursuant to the
Indenture, dated on or about December 21, 2016, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, whether outstanding on the date of this Note or thereafter created, incurred, assumed, guaranteed or in effect guaranteed by the Company
(including all deferrals, renewals, extensions or refundings of, or amendments, modifications or supplements to, the foregoing). 
 (b)
Payments to Holders. 
 (i) No payment shall be made with respect to the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Note if
a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or other obligations due on any Senior Debt occurs and is continuing (or, in the case of Senior Debt for which there is a period of grace, in the event of such a default that continues
beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument evidencing such Senior Debt) (including a default set forth in Sections 6.01(a) and 60.1(b) of the indenture pursuant to which the Senior Debt was issued) (a “Payment
Default”), unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist or the obligations in respect of the Senior Debt are paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt.

 (ii) The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Note upon the earlier of the date upon which the
Payment Default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, or unless this Section 3 otherwise prohibits the payment or distribution at such time. 

  
 2 

 (iii) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether
in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
liquidation, receivership or other proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company, or otherwise, all amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Debt shall first be
paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Debt, or payment thereof in accordance with its terms provided for in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Debt, before any payment is made
on account of the principal of, interest or premium, if any, on the Note; and upon any such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshalling of
assets and liabilities of the Company or bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceeding, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the
Holder would be entitled, except for the provision of this Section 3, shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution,
or by the Holder if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Debt held by such holders, or as otherwise required by law or a court order), or to the
trustee or trustees under the indenture pursuant to which the Senior Debt was issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such
Senior Debt, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt, before any payment or distribution or provision therefor is made to the Holder. 

(iv) For purposes of this Section 3, the words, “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock
of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Section 3
with respect to the Note to the payment of all Senior Debt which may at the time be outstanding; provided that (i) the Senior Debt is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any reorganization or readjustment, and
(ii) the rights of the holders of Senior Debt are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation shall not be deemed a dissolution,
winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 3(b) unless such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, shall constitute an Event of Default in Section 2. 

(v) In the event of the acceleration of the Note because of an Event of Default, no payment or distribution shall be made to the Holder in
respect of the principal of, interest or premium, if any, on the Note until all Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt or such acceleration is rescinded by the Holder. 

(vi) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities (including, without limitation, by way of setoff or otherwise), prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Holder (or any agent, trustee or other representative thereof) before all Senior
Debt is paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Debt, or provision is made for such payment thereof in accordance with its terms in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Debt, such
payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of Senior Debt, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Debt may
have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full in cash or other payment satisfactory
to the holders of such Senior Debt, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Debt. 

  
 3 

 (c) Subrogation of the Note. 

(i) Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt, the rights of the Holder shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or
distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3 (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to other indebtedness of the
Company to substantially the same extent as the Note is subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company
applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal and premium, if any, on the Note shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to
which the Holder would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 3, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3, to or for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt by the Holder, shall, as between the
Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt, and the Holder, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt; and no payments or distributions of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the
Holder pursuant to the subrogation provisions of this Section 3, which would otherwise have been paid to the holders of Senior Debt shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or for the account of the Note. It is understood that the
provisions of this Section 3 are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holder, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Debt, on the other hand. 

(ii) Nothing contained in this Section 3 or elsewhere in this Note is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors
other than the holders of Senior Debt, and the Holder, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holder the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Note as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holder and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Holder from exercising all
remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Note, subject to the rights, if any, under this Section 3 of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise
of any such remedy. 
 (iii) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Section 3, the Holder shall
be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a
certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Holder, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution,
the holders of Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 3. 

(d) Until the repayment in full of all Senior Debt, neither the Maturity Date nor this Section 3 may be amended in a manner adverse to
the holders of Senior Debt without the consent of the Company, the Holder and the trustee of the Senior Debt (with the consent of holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such outstanding Senior Debt). 

4. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Notice.
Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered or mailed by 

  
 4 

 
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by recognized overnight courier or personal delivery at the respective addresses of the parties as set forth herein or on the register maintained
by the Company. Any party hereto may by notice so given change its address for future notice hereunder. Notice shall conclusively be deemed to have been given where received. 

(b) No Waiver. No failure or delay by Holder to exercise any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other right, power or privilege. 
 (c) Severability. If one or more
provisions of this Note are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Note and the balance of the Note shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance
with its terms. 
 (d) Entire Agreement. This Note expresses the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby. 
 (e) Default Rates; Usury. In the event any interest is paid on this Note which is deemed to be in excess of
the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of principal and applied against the principal of this Note. 

(f) Waiver by the Company. The Company hereby expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of default, notice of
dishonor and all other demands and notices relating to his Note of any kind or nature whatsoever. 
 (g) Governing Law. THIS NOTE
AND ALL ACTIONS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT APPLICATION OF CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

occurs in the manner in which operating leases are accounted for under GAAP that affects the Borrower’s compliance with any provision of this Agreement, then the Borrower’s compliance with such provision will continue to be determined in
accordance with GAAP as in effect immediately prior to such change to GAAP unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders in writing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for the purposes of calculating
any of the ratios tested under Section 9.01, and the components of each of such ratios, all Unrestricted Subsidiaries (including their assets, liabilities, income, losses, cash flows, and the elements thereof) shall be
excluded, except for any cash dividends or distributions actually paid by any Unrestricted Subsidiary to any Credit Parties, which shall be deemed to be income to such Credit Party when actually received by it.

 THE
REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY 
 Section 2.01 Commitments. 

(a) Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Credit Lender severally and for itself alone,
agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Revolving Credit Lender’s
Commitment or the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow the Revolving Credit Loans. 

  
 27 

 (b) Increases, Reductions and Terminations of Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount. 

(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.01(b)(ii), the Borrower may increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount then
in effect by increasing the Elected Commitment of one or more existing Lenders (each such Lender, an “Increasing Lender”) and/or causing one or more Persons acceptable to the Administrative Agent and that at such time are not
Lenders to become a Lender (each such Person that is not at such time a Lender and becomes a Lender, an “Additional Lender”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no case shall an Additional
Lender be the Borrower, an Affiliate of the Borrower or a natural person. 
 (ii) Except as provided in Section 2.01(b)(x), Any
increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) no
increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount exceeds the lesser of (I) the Borrowing Base then in effect and (II) the Aggregate Maximum Credit
Amount; 
 (B) the Borrower may not increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount more than once per fiscal quarter; 

(C) no Lender’s Elected Commitment may be increased without the consent of such Lender; 

(D) subject to Section 2.01(b)(ix) below, if the Borrower elects to increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount by
increasing the Elected Commitment of one or more Lenders, the Borrower and each such Increasing Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K (an “Elected Commitment
Increase Certificate”) and the Borrower shall pay any applicable fees as may have been agreed to between the Borrower, such Increasing Lender and/or the Administrative Agent; and 

(E) if the Borrower elects to increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount by causing one or more Additional Lenders to
become a party to this Agreement, then the Borrower and each such Additional Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L (an “Additional Lender
Certificate”), together with an Administrative Questionnaire for each Additional Lender, and the Borrower shall (I) if requested by any Additional Lender, deliver a Note payable to the order of such Additional Lender in a principal
amount equal to its Maximum Credit Amount, and otherwise duly completed and (II) pay any applicable fees as may have been agreed to between the Borrower, any Additional Lender and/or the Administrative Agent. 

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(iv), from and after the effective date specified in the
Elected Commitment Increase Certificate or the Additional Lender Certificate: (A) the amount of the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be increased as set forth therein, and (B) in the case of an Additional Lender Certificate, any
Additional Lender party thereto shall be a party to this Agreement and have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, each Increasing Lender and Additional Lender shall be deemed to have
purchased a pro rata portion of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests in Letters of Credit) of each of the other Lenders (and such Lenders hereby agree to sell and to take all such further action to effectuate such sale) such that each
Lender (including any Increasing Lender and any Additional Lender) shall hold its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests in Letters of Credit) after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate
Elected Commitment Amount and the resulting modification of each Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage and Maximum Credit Amount pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(v). 

  
 28 

 (iv) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Elected Commitment Increase Certificate or an
Additional Lender Certificate, executed by the Borrower and the Lender or by the Borrower and the Additional Lender party thereto, as applicable, and the Administrative Questionnaire referred to in Section 2.01(b)(ii) the Administrative Agent
shall accept such Elected Commitment Increase Certificate or Additional Lender Certificate and record the information contained therein in the Register required to be maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.04(b)(iv).

 (v) Upon any increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.01(b), (A) each Lender’s
Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage shall be automatically deemed amended to the extent necessary so that each such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage equals the percentage of the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount represented
by such Lender’s Elected Commitment, in each case after giving effect to such increase, (B) each Lender’s Maximum Credit Amount shall be automatically deemed amended to the extent necessary so that each Lender’s Maximum Credit
Amount equals such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage, after giving effect to any adjustments thereto pursuant to the foregoing clause (A), of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount, (C) Schedule 1.2 to this Agreement
shall be deemed amended to reflect the Elected Commitment of any Increasing Lender and any Additional Lender, and any changes in the Lenders’ respective Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages and Maximum Credit Amounts pursuant to the
foregoing clauses (A) and (B), and (D) the Borrower shall execute and deliver new Notes to the extent required under Section 2.02(d). 

(vi) The Borrower may from time to time terminate or reduce the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount; provided that (A) each
reduction of the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (B) the Borrower shall not reduce the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount if, after giving
effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 3.03(c), the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount. 

(vii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount under
Section 2.01(b)(vi) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall
advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be permanent and may not be reinstated, except pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(i). Each reduction of the Aggregate Elected
Commitment Amount shall be made ratably among each Lender’s Maximum Credit Amount in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage (and Schedule 1.2 shall be deemed amended to reflect such amendments to each
Lender’s Elected Commitment and the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount). 
 (viii) Upon any redetermination or other adjustment in
the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Agreement that would otherwise result in the Borrowing Base becoming less than the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount, the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be automatically reduced (ratably among the
Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage) so that they equal such redetermined Borrowing Base (and Schedule 1.2 shall be deemed amended to reflect such amendments to each Lender’s Elected
Commitment and the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount). 

  
 29 

 (ix) If (A) the Borrower elects to increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount and
(B) each Lender has consented to such increase in its Elected Commitment, then the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be increased (ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage)
by the amount requested by the Borrower (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.01(b)(ii)(A)) without the requirement that any Lender deliver an Elected Commitment Increase Certificate, and Schedule 1.2 shall be deemed
amended to reflect such amendments to each Lender’s Elected Commitment and the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount. The Administrative Agent shall record the information regarding such increases in the Register required to be maintained by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.04(b)(iv). 
 (x) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.01(b), on the date of the Borrowing Base increase provided for in Section 2.06(f), the Borrower may elect to increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount in an amount not to exceed $150,000,000 subject solely to the payment of the
fees described in Section 2.01(b)(xi). Upon any such election by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.01(b)(x), the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be increased (ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each
Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage) by the amount requested by the Borrower without the requirement that any Lender deliver an Elected Commitment Increase Certificate, and Schedule 1.2 shall be deemed amended to reflect such
amendments to each Lender’s Elected Commitment and the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount. The Administrative Agent shall record the information regarding such increases in the Register required to be maintained by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 12.04(b)(iv). 
 (xi) In connection with any increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount pursuant to
Section 2.01(b)(x), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, upfront fees in an amount equal to 62.5 basis points (0.625%) of the amount of such Lender’s Increased Elected Commitment (as defined
below). “Increased Elected Commitment” means, with respect to any Lender, the amount by which such Lender’s Elected Commitment after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount provided for in Section
2.01(b)(x), exceeds such Lender’s Elected Commitment that was in effect immediately prior to giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount provided for in Section 2.01(b)(x). 

Section 2.02 Revolving Credit Loans and Borrowings. 

(a) Revolving Credit Borrowings; Several Obligations. Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as part of a Revolving Credit Borrowing
consisting of Revolving Credit Loans made by the Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan required to be made by it shall not
relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments are several and no Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for any other Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to make Revolving
Credit Loans as required. 
 (b) Types of Revolving Credit Loans. Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR
Revolving Credit Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Revolving Credit Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or
Affiliate of such Revolving Credit Lender to make such Revolving Credit Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. 

  
 30 

 (c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Revolving Credit Borrowings. At the
commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing, such Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in an amount not less than $2,000,000 and increments of $100,000 in excess thereof. At the time that each ABR Revolving
Credit Borrowing is made, such Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 and increments of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, an ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing may be in
an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of a Reimbursement Obligation as contemplated by Section 2.07(f)(iii). Revolving Credit Borrowings of
more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time, provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of eight Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowings outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. 

(d) Revolving Credit Notes. Upon request of such Revolving Credit Lender, the Revolving Credit Loans made by a Revolving Credit Lender
shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A, and, (i) in the case of any Revolving Credit Lender party hereto as of the date of this Agreement, such Revolving Credit Note shall be
dated as of the date of this Agreement, (ii) in the case of any Revolving Credit Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, such Revolving Credit Note shall be dated as of the effective date of the Assignment
and Assumption, or (iii) in the case of any Lender that becomes a party hereto in connection with an increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amounts pursuant to Section 2.01(b), as of the effective date of such increase, in each case,
payable to such Revolving Credit Lender in a principal amount equal to its Maximum Credit Amount as in effect on such date, and otherwise duly completed. In the event that any Revolving Credit Lender’s Maximum Credit Amount increases or
decreases for any reason (whether pursuant to Section 2.05, Section 12.04(b) or otherwise), the Borrower shall, upon request of such Revolving Credit Lender, deliver or cause to be delivered on the effective date of
such increase or decrease, a new Revolving Credit Note payable to such Revolving Credit Lender in a principal amount equal to its Maximum Credit Amount after giving effect to such increase or decrease, and otherwise duly completed, against return to
the Borrower of the Revolving Credit Note so replaced. The date, amount, Type, interest rate and, if applicable, Interest Period of each Revolving Credit Loan made by each Revolving Credit Lender, and all payments made on account of the principal
thereof, shall be recorded by such Revolving Credit Lender on its books for its Revolving Credit Note. Failure to make any such notation or to attach a schedule shall not affect any Revolving Credit Lender’s or the Borrower’s rights or
obligations in respect of such Revolving Credit Loans. 
 (e) Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant
to Section 12.04(b)(iv), and a subaccount therein for each Revolving Credit Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Revolving Credit Borrowing made hereunder, the type thereof
and each Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Borrowing, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Revolving Credit Lender hereunder in respect of the Revolving
Credit Borrowings and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower in respect of the Revolving Credit Borrowings and each Revolving Credit Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the
Register maintained pursuant to paragraph (e) shall, absent manifest error, to the extent permitted by applicable 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 Revolving Credit Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any account, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower
to repay the Revolving Credit Borrowings (and all other amounts owing with respect thereto) made to the Borrower by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 31 

 Section 2.03 Requests for Revolving Credit Borrowings. The Borrower may request a
Revolving Credit Borrowing, a refund of any Revolving Credit Borrowing in the same Type of Borrowing or to convert any Revolving Credit Borrowing to any other Type of Revolving Credit Borrowing only by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a
Revolving Credit Borrowing Request executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, subject to the following: 
 (a) each such Revolving
Credit Borrowing Request shall set forth the information required on the Revolving Credit Borrowing Request, including without limitation: 

(i) the proposed date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing (or the refunding or conversion of an outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowing), which
must be a Business Day; 
 (ii) whether such Borrowing is a new Revolving Credit Borrowing or a refunding or conversion of an outstanding
Revolving Credit Borrowing; and 
 (iii) whether such Revolving Credit Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing, and,
except in the case of an ABR Borrowing, the first Interest Period applicable thereto, provided, however, that the initial Revolving Credit Borrowing made under this Agreement shall be an ABR Borrowing, which may then be converted into
a Eurodollar Borrowing in compliance with this Agreement. 
 (b) each such Revolving Credit Borrowing Request shall be delivered to the
Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of the Revolving Credit Borrowing, except in the case of an ABR Borrowing, for which the Request for Borrowing must be delivered by 11:00 a.m.
(New York time) on the proposed date for such Revolving Credit Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an Letter of Credit Payment as contemplated by Section 2.07(f) may be given not later
than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; 
 (c) on the proposed date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing,
the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Exposures outstanding on such date (including, without duplication, the Loans that are deemed to be disbursed by Administrative Agent under Section 2.07(f)(iii) hereof
in respect of Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations hereunder), after giving effect to all outstanding requests for Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans and for the issuance of any Letters of Credit, shall not exceed the lesser of
(i) the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount, (ii) the then applicable Borrowing Base and (iii) the then applicable Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount; 

(d) a Revolving Credit Borrowing Request, once delivered to the Administrative Agent, shall not be revocable by the Borrower and (other than a
Revolving Credit Borrowing Request to refund, continue or convert any outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowing) shall constitute a certification by the Borrower as of the date thereof that the conditions set forth in subsections (a), (b)
and (c) of Section 6.02 have been satisfied; 
 (e) if the Borrower fails to deliver a timely
Revolving Credit Borrowing Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing; notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a
Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing (and any Revolving Credit Borrowing Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Credit Borrowing to, 

  
 32 

 
or continuation of any Revolving Credit Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be ineffective) and unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto; 
 the Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of the
Revolving Credit Lenders, may also, at its option, lend under this Section 2.03 upon the telephone or email request of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to make such requests and, in the event the Administrative Agent,
acting on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders, makes any such Revolving Credit Borrowing upon a telephone or email request, a Responsible Officer shall fax or deliver by electronic file to the Administrative Agent, on the same day as such
telephone or email request, an executed Revolving Credit Borrowing Request. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse Revolving Credit Borrowings under this Section 2.03 pursuant to the telephone
or email instructions of any person purporting to be a Responsible Officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges that the Borrower shall bear all risk of loss resulting from disbursements made upon any telephone or email request.
Each telephone or email request for a Revolving Credit Borrowing from a Responsible Officer for the Borrower shall constitute a certification of the matters set forth in the Revolving Credit Borrowing Request form as of the date of such requested
Revolving Credit Borrowing. 
 Section 2.04 Funding of Revolving Credit Borrowings. 

(a) Upon receiving any Revolving Credit Borrowing Request from Borrower under Section 2.03 hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender by wire, telex or telephone (confirmed by wire, telecopy or telex) of the amount of such Revolving Credit Borrowing being requested and the date such Revolving Credit Borrowing
is to be made by each Revolving Credit Lender in an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such Revolving Credit Borrowing. Unless such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder shall
have been suspended or terminated in accordance with this Agreement, each such Revolving Credit Lender shall make available the amount of its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of each Revolving Credit Borrowing in immediately available funds to
the Administrative Agent, as follows: 
 (i) for ABR Revolving Credit Borrowings, at the office of the Administrative Agent located at 383
Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10179, not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date of such Borrowing; and 
 (ii) for
Eurodollar Borrowings, at the office of the Administrative Agent located at 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10179, not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date of such Borrowing. 

(b) Except in respect of Revolving Credit Borrowings covering the reimbursement of Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.07(f), the
Administrative Agent will make such Revolving Credit Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the funds so received from the Revolving Credit Lenders to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Revolving
Credit Borrowing Request not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time); provided that ABR Revolving Credit Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an Letter of Credit Payment as provided in Section 2.07(f) shall be remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank; provided, further, that ABR Revolving Credit Borrowings made to refund any Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section 2.08(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line
Lender. 

  
 33 

 (c) The Administrative Agent shall deliver the documents and papers received by it for the
account of each Revolving Credit Lender to such Revolving Credit Lender. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Revolving Credit Lender prior to the date of any proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing that such Revolving Credit
Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Credit Lender has made such
amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date, as aforesaid. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower the amount of such payment in reliance on such assumption. If such amount is not in
fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Revolving Credit Lender, as aforesaid, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Credit Lender. If such Revolving Credit Lender does not
pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor and the Administrative Agent has in fact made a corresponding amount available to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, if such notice is delivered to the Borrower prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, on the day such notice is received, and otherwise on the next Business Day, and such amount
paid by the Borrower shall be applied as a prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans (without any corresponding reduction in the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount), reimbursing the Administrative Agent for having funded said amounts on behalf of such
Revolving Credit Lender. The Borrower shall retain its claim against such Revolving Credit Lender with respect to the amounts repaid by it to the Administrative Agent and, if such Revolving Credit Lender subsequently makes such amounts available to
the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly make such amounts available to the Borrower as a Revolving Credit Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender or the
Borrower, as the case may be, but without duplication, interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, to the date such amount is recovered by the
Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to: 
 (i) in the case of such Revolving Credit Lender, for the first two
(2) Business Days such amount remains unpaid, the NYFRB Rate, and thereafter, at the rate of interest then applicable to such Revolving Credit Borrowings; and 

(ii) in the case of the Borrower, the rate of interest then applicable to such Revolving Credit Borrowing. 

Until such Revolving Credit Lender has paid the Administrative Agent such amount, such Revolving Credit Lender shall have no interest in or rights with
respect to such Borrowing for any purpose whatsoever. The obligation of any Revolving Credit Lender to make any Revolving Credit Borrowing hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make any Borrowing
hereunder, and no Revolving Credit Lender shall have any liability to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, any other Revolving Credit Lender, or any other party for another Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to make
any loan or Borrowing hereunder. 
 Section 2.05 Termination and Reduction of Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts. 

(a) Scheduled Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date. If at any time the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts, the Borrowing Base or the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount are terminated or reduced to zero, then the Commitments shall terminate on the effective date of such termination or
reduction. 

  
 34 

 (b) Optional Termination and Reduction of Aggregate Credit Amounts. 

(i) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts; provided that each
reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $2,500,000 and the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts if, after giving effect
to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 3.03(c)(i), the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments. No reduction shall reduce the Swing Line Maximum Amount unless the
Borrower so elects, provided that the Swing Line Maximum Amount shall at no time be greater than the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts. 

(ii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts under
Section 2.05(b)(i) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall
advise the Revolving Credit Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount
delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other agreements, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to
the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Each reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts shall be made ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with each Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable
Revolving Credit Percentage. 
 Section 2.06 Borrowing Base. 

(a) Initial Borrowing Base. The Borrowing Base on the Effective Date shall be $950,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Borrowing Base may be subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to the Borrowing Base Adjustment Provisions. 
 (b)
Scheduled and Interim Redeterminations. The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined as provided in accordance with this Section 2.06, and, subject to Section 2.06(d) (each a “Scheduled
Redetermination”). The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined semi-annually, and shall become effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders on May 1 (with respect to
the Reserve Report delivered on April 1) and November 1 (with respect to the Reserve Report delivered on October 1) of each year commencing May 1, 2017; provided that if the Acquisition has been consummated prior to May 1,
2017, the first Scheduled Redetermination shall be the Scheduled Redetermination scheduled to occur on November 1, 2017. In addition, (i) Borrower may, by notifying the Administrative Agent thereof, and the Administrative Agent may, at the
direction of the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders, by notifying the Borrower thereof, two times per year, each elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined between Scheduled Redeterminations; provided that the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may not elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined prior to the earlier of (A) the consummation of the Acquisition or (B) May 1, 2017 and (ii) the Borrower may elect, by notifying the Administrative
Agent of any acquisition of Oil and Gas Properties by any Credit Party with a purchase price in the aggregate of at least five percent (5%) of the then effective Borrowing Base, to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined between Scheduled
Redeterminations in accordance with this Section 2.06 (each redetermination under clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence, an “Interim Redetermination”). 

  
 35 

 (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 the Reserve Report, the certificate required to be delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c), and in the case of an Interim
Redetermination, pursuant to Section 8.12(b) and (c), and such other reports, data and supplemental information, including, without limitation, the information provided pursuant to Section 8.12(c), as may, from time to time, be reasonably
requested by the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders (the Reserve Report, such certificate and such other reports, data and supplemental information with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties and other Properties of the Credit Parties 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, without limitation, the status of title information with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties as described in the Engineering Reports and the existence of any other Debt) as the Administrative
Agent deems appropriate in its sole discretion and consistent with its normal oil and gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time. In no event shall the Proposed Borrowing Base exceed the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts. 

(ii) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the Proposed Borrowing Base (the
“Proposed Borrowing Base Notice”): 
 (A) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination if the Administrative
Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on or before May 1 and November 1 of such year
following the date of delivery or if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete 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 2.06(c)(i); and 

(B) in the case of an Interim Redetermination, promptly, and in any event, within fifteen (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 all of the Revolving Credit Lenders as provided in this Section 2.06(c)(iii); and any Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in
effect (not including an automatic reduction pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(iii) must be approved or be deemed to have been approved by the Required Revolving Credit Lenders (in each Revolving Credit Lender’s sole discretion consistent
with its normal oil and gas criteria as it exists at the particular time) as provided in this Section 2.06(c)(iii). Upon receipt of the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice, each Revolving Credit Lender shall have
twenty-one (21) 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
twenty-one (21) days, any Revolving Credit 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 21-day period, all of the Revolving Credit Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing

  
 36 

 
Base then in effect, or the Required Revolving Credit 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 2.06(d). If, however, at the end of such 21-day period,
all of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, have not approved or deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, then the Administrative Agent shall poll the Revolving Credit Lenders to ascertain the highest
Borrowing Base then acceptable to a number of Revolving Credit Lenders sufficient to constitute the Required Revolving Credit Lenders and, so long as such amount does not increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, such amount shall become the new
Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in Section 2.06(d). 
 (d) Effectiveness of a Redetermined Borrowing Base.
After a redetermined Borrowing Base is approved or is deemed to have been approved by all of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(iii) or adjusted pursuant to the
Borrowing Base Adjustment Provisions, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Revolving Credit 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 Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders: 

(i) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, if the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to be
delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then as of May 1 or November 1 as applicable, or if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports
required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice; and 

(ii) in the case of an Interim Redetermination or an adjustment to the Borrowing Base pursuant to the Borrowing Base Adjustment Provisions,
on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice. 
 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 pursuant to the Borrowing Base Adjustment Provisions, whichever occurs first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Scheduled Redetermination, Interim
Redetermination or adjusted Borrowing Base shall become effective until the New Borrowing Base Notice related thereto is received by the Borrower. 

(e) Adjustment for Debt Incurrence. If any Credit Party issues or incurs any Debt consisting of or related to the senior notes
permitted under Section 9.02(g) during the period between Scheduled Redeterminations, then (i) on the date on which such Debt is issued, the Borrowing Base then in effect shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of 0.25
multiplied by the stated principal amount of such Debt, and (ii) the Borrowing Base as so reduced shall become the new Borrowing Base immediately upon the date of such issuance, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders on such date until the next redetermination or modification thereof hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.06(e), if any such Debt consisting of senior notes issued pursuant to
Section 9.02(g) (or guaranty thereof) is issued at a discount or otherwise sold for less than “par,” the reduction shall be calculated based upon the stated principal amount without reference to such discount. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no such reduction to the Borrowing Base shall be required with respect to (i) the Specified Issuance or (ii) any issuance of other Permitted Unsecured Notes pursuant to Section 9.02(h) to refinance outstanding unsecured
notes except with respect to any portion of the face principal amount of such refinancing Debt which exceeds the principal amount of such refinanced Debt (plus any accrued interest, fees, expenses and premiums of such refinanced Debt). 

  
 37 

 (f) Adjustment for Acquisition. If the Borrower or one or more of the other Credit Parties
consummates the Acquisition in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Documents prior to May 1, 2017, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.04, the Borrowing Base in effect immediately prior to
giving effect to the Acquisition shall be increased (without duplication) by $150,000,000 on the effective date of the Acquisition. 

Section 2.07 Letters of Credit. 

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Bank may (but shall not be required to) through the
Issuing Office, at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof until five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, upon the written request of the Borrower accompanied by a duly executed Letter of Credit
Agreement and such other documentation related to the requested Letter of Credit as Issuing Bank may require, issue Letters of Credit in Dollars for the account of any Credit Party, in an aggregate amount for all Letters of Credit issued hereunder
at any one time outstanding not to exceed the Letter of Credit Maximum Amount. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, any Credit Party other than the
Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank 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 any other Credit Party
inures to the benefit of the Borrower and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such other Credit Party. Each Letter of Credit shall be in a minimum face amount of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000) (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Issuing Bank) and each Letter of Credit (including any renewal thereof) shall expire not later than the first to occur of (i) twelve (12) months after the date of issuance thereof or such
longer time as may be approved by Issuing Bank and (ii) five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in effect on the date of issuance thereof; provided, that any Letter of Credit meeting the immediately foregoing
requirements may contain a customary “evergreen” provision relating to the renewal thereof; provided, further, to the extent the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any other Letter of Credit at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in cases where such Letter of Credit could be automatically renewed beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (but in no event beyond one year following the Revolving Credit Maturity Date), such Letter of Credit
may contain a customary “evergreen” provision relating to the renewal thereof. The submission of all applications in respect of and the issuance of each Letter of Credit hereunder shall be subject in all respects to the International
Standby Practices 98, and any successor documentation thereto and to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any Letter of Credit Document other than any
Letter of Credit, this Agreement shall control. 
 (b) Conditions to Issuance. No Letter of Credit shall be issued (including the
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit previously issued) at the request and for the account of the Borrower unless, as of the date of issuance (or renewal or extension) of such Letter of Credit: 

(i) after giving effect to the Letter of Credit requested, the Letter of Credit Obligations do not exceed the Letter of Credit Maximum
Amount; and (ii) after giving effect to the Letter of Credit requested, the Letter of Credit Obligations on such date plus the aggregate amount of all Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans (including all Loans deemed disbursed by
Administrative Agent under Section 2.07(f)(iii) hereof in respect of the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations) hereunder requested or outstanding on such date do not exceed the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount,
(B) the then applicable Borrowing Base and (C) the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount; 

  
 38 

 (ii) the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 have been satisfied;

 (iii) if requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Issuing Bank at its Issuing Office the Letter of Credit
Agreement related thereto, together with such other documents and materials as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the terms of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank; 

(iv) no order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain Issuing
Bank from issuing the Letter of Credit requested, or any Revolving Credit Lender from taking an assignment of its Revolving Credit Percentage thereof pursuant to Section 2.07(f) hereof, and no law, rule, regulation, request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) shall prohibit the Issuing Bank from issuing, or any Revolving Credit Lender from taking an assignment of its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of, the Letter of Credit requested or letters of credit
generally; 
 (v) there shall have been (A) no introduction of or change in the interpretation of any law or regulation, (B) no
declaration of a general banking moratorium by banking authorities in the United States, New York or the respective jurisdictions in which the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Borrower and the beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit are located,
and (C) no establishment of any new restrictions by any central bank or other Governmental Authority on transactions involving letters of credit or on banks generally that, in any case described in this clause (vi), would make it
unlawful or unduly burdensome for the Issuing Bank to issue or any Revolving Credit Lender to take an assignment of its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the requested Letter of Credit or letters of credit generally; 

(vi) if any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it to eliminate
Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by all such Defaulting Lender, including, without limitation, the creation of a cash collateral account or delivery of other security by the Borrower to assure payment
of such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations; and 
 (vii) the
Issuing Bank shall have received the issuance fees required in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.07(d) hereof. 

Each Letter of Credit Agreement submitted to Issuing Bank pursuant hereto shall constitute the certification by Borrower of the matters set forth in
Section 6.02 hereof. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on such certification without any duty of inquiry. 

(c) Notice. The Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, concurrently with or promptly following its issuance of any
Letter of Credit, a true and complete copy of each Letter of Credit. Promptly upon its receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall give notice, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit K, to each Revolving Credit Lender of the
issuance of each Letter of Credit, specifying the amount thereof and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. 

  
 39 

 (d) Letter of Credit Fees. 

(i) The Borrower shall pay letter of credit fees as follows: 

(A) A per annum letter of credit fee with respect to the undrawn amount of each Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto
(based on the amount of each Letter of Credit) in the amount of the Applicable Margin (determined with reference to Schedule 1.1 to this Agreement) shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Revolving Credit Lenders in
accordance with their Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages. 
 (B) A letter of credit facing fee on the face amount of
each Letter of Credit shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Issuing Bank for its own account, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Fee Letter. 

(ii) All payments by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Credit Lenders under this
Section 2.07(d) shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Issuing Office or such other office of the Administrative Agent as may be designated from time to time by written notice to Borrower by the Administrative Agent.
The fees described in clauses (i)(A) and (B) above (i) shall be nonrefundable under all circumstances subject to Section 12.12 and (ii) shall be payable quarterly in advance on the first day of each
February, May, August and November of each year. The fees due under clause (i)(A) above shall be determined by multiplying the Applicable Margin times the undrawn amount of the face amount of each such Letter of Credit on the date of
determination, and shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of days from the date of the issuance thereof to the stated expiration thereof. 

(e) Other Fees. In connection with the Letters of Credit, and in addition to the Letter of Credit Fees, the Borrower shall pay, for the
sole account of the Issuing Bank, standard documentation, administration, payment and cancellation charges assessed by the Issuing Bank or the Issuing Office, at the times, in the amounts and on the terms set forth or to be set forth from time to
time in the standard fee schedule of the Issuing Office in effect from time to time. 
 (f) Participation Interests in and Drawings and
Demands for Payment Under Letters of Credit. 
 (i) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit
increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving
Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of each Letter of Credit Payment made by the Issuing Bank
and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (ii) below, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter
of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default, an Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(ii) If the Issuing Bank shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower agrees to
pay to the Issuing Bank an amount 

  
 40 

 
equal to the amount paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of such draft or other demand under such Letter of Credit and all reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent relative
thereto not later than 12:00 noon (New York time), in Dollars, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower received notice of such presentment and honor, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) or (ii) the Business Day
immediately following the day that the Borrower received such notice, if such notice is received after 10:00 a.m. (New York time). 
 (iii)
If the Issuing Bank shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made under any Letter of Credit, but the Borrower does not reimburse the Issuing Bank as required under clause (ii) above and the Aggregate Maximum
Commitment Amount has not been terminated (whether by maturity, acceleration or otherwise), the Borrower shall be deemed to have immediately requested that the Revolving Credit Lenders make a ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing (which Borrowing may be
subsequently converted at any time into a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof) in the principal amount equal to the amount paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of such draft or other demand under such Letter
of Credit and all reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent relative thereto. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of such deemed request, and each such Lender shall make available to the
Administrative Agent an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage) of the amount of such Borrowing. 

(iv) If the Issuing Bank shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made under any Letter of Credit, but the Borrower does
not reimburse the Issuing Bank as required under clause (ii) above, and (i) the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount has been terminated (whether by maturity, acceleration or otherwise), or (ii) any reimbursement received by the
Issuing Bank from the Borrower is or must be returned or rescinded upon or during any bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, then the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender, and
each Revolving Credit Lender will be obligated to pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its pro rata share (based on its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage) of the amount paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of
such draft or other demand under such Letter of Credit and all reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent relative thereto (but no such payment shall diminish the obligations of the Borrower hereunder). Upon receipt thereof,
the Administrative Agent will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a participation certificate evidencing its participation interest in respect of such payment and expenses. To the extent that a Revolving Credit Lender fails to make such amount
available to the Administrative Agent by 10:00 am New York time on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given, such Revolving Credit Lender shall pay interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount was
required to be paid, to the date paid to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable under Section 2.04(c)(i) with respect to Revolving Credit Borrowings. The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to
make its pro rata portion of any such amount available under to the Administrative Agent shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation to make available its pro rata portion of such amount, but no Revolving
Credit Lender shall be responsible for failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make such pro rata portion available to the Administrative Agent. 

(v) In the case of any Borrowing made under this Section 2.07(f), each such Borrowing shall be disbursed notwithstanding any failure
to satisfy any conditions for disbursement of any Borrowing set forth in Article II hereof or Article VI hereof, and, to the extent of the Borrowing so disbursed, the Reimbursement Obligation of Borrower to the Administrative Agent
under this Section 2.07(f) shall be deemed satisfied (unless, in each case, taking into account any such deemed Borrowings, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans, plus the Letter of
Credit Obligations (other than the Reimbursement Obligations to be reimbursed by this Borrowing) on such date exceed the lesser of the Borrowing Base, the then applicable Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount or the then applicable Aggregate Elected
Commitment Amount). 

  
 41 

 (vi) If the Issuing Bank shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made under
any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall provide notice thereof to the Borrower on the date such draft or demand is honored, and to each Revolving Credit Lender on such date unless the Borrower shall have satisfied its Reimbursement Obligations
by payment to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Issuing Bank) as required under this Section 2.07(f). The Issuing Bank shall further use reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Borrower prior to honoring any such draft or
other demand for payment, but such notice, or the failure to provide such notice, shall not affect the rights or obligations of the Issuing Bank with respect to any Letter of Credit or the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, including
without limitation the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.07(f). 
 (vii) Notwithstanding the foregoing however, no
Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have acquired a participation in a Letter of Credit if the officers of the Issuing Bank immediately responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have received written notice from the
Administrative Agent or any Lender at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the issuance or extension of such Letter of Credit or, with respect to any Letter of Credit subject to automatic extension, at least five (5) Business
Days prior to the date that the beneficiary under such Letter of Credit must be notified that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed, that the issuance or extension of Letters of Credit should be suspended based on the occurrence and continuance
of a Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”; provided, however, that the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have acquired such a participation upon the date on which such
Default or Event of Default has been waived by the requisite Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, but effective as of the extension or issuance date. 

(viii) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require or authorize any Revolving Credit Lender to issue any Letter of Credit, it
being recognized that the Issuing Bank shall be the sole issuer of Letters of Credit under this Agreement. 
 (ix) In the event that any
Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank may, at its option, require that the Borrower enter into arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Bank to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation
in Letters of Credit by such Defaulting Lender, including creation of a cash collateral account or delivery of other security to assure payment of such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of all outstanding Letter of
Credit Obligations. 
 (g) Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of the Borrower to make payments to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to Letter of Credit Obligations under Section 2.07(f) hereof, shall be unconditional and irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever,
including, without limitation: 
 (i) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement, any
other documentation relating to any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (the “Letter of Credit Documents”); 

(ii) Any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, or any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any interest in
collateral or security, with respect to or under any Letter of Credit Document; 

  
 42 

 (iii) The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at
any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Credit Lender or
any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any of the Letter of Credit Documents, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transactions; 

(iv) Any draft or other statement or 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; 
 (v) Payment by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary
under any Letter of Credit against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; 

(vi) Any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Credit Lender or any
party to any of the Letter of Credit Documents or any other Loan Document to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred upon the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Revolving Credit Lender or any such party under this
Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any of the Letter of Credit Documents, or any other acts or omissions on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Revolving Credit Lender or any such party; or 

(vii) Any other event or circumstance that would, in the absence of this Section 2.07(g), result in the release or discharge by
operation of law or otherwise of the Borrower from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in Section 2.07(f) hereof. 

No setoff, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any obligation or any defense of any kind or nature which the Borrower has or may have against the
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit shall be available hereunder to the Borrower against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Credit Lender. With respect to any Letter of Credit, nothing contained in this Section
2.07(g) shall be deemed to prevent the Borrower, after satisfaction in full of the absolute and unconditional obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit, from asserting in a separate action any claim, defense,
set off or other right which it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Credit Lender in connection with such Letter of Credit. 

(h) Risk Under Letters of Credit. 

(i) In the administration and handling of Letters of Credit and any security therefor, or any documents or instruments given in connection
therewith, the Issuing Bank shall have the sole right to take or refrain from taking any and all actions under or upon the Letters of Credit. 

(ii) Subject to other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Bank shall issue the Letters of Credit and shall hold the documents
related thereto in its own name and shall make all collections thereunder and otherwise administer the Letters of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s regularly established practices and procedures and will have no further obligation
with respect thereto. In the administration of Letters of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted on the advice of counsel, accountants, appraisers or other experts selected by the Issuing Bank with due care and
the Issuing Bank may rely upon any notice, communication, certificate or other statement from the Borrower, beneficiaries of Letters of Credit, or any other Person which the Issuing Bank believes to be authentic. The Issuing Bank will, upon request,
furnish the Revolving Credit Lenders with copies of Letter of Credit Documents related thereto. 

  
 43 

 (iii) In connection with the issuance and administration of Letters of Credit and the
assignments hereunder, the Issuing Bank makes no representation and shall have no responsibility with respect to (i) the obligations of the Borrower or the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any document or instrument given in
connection therewith, or the taking of any action with respect to same, (ii) the financial condition of, any representations made by, or any act or omission of the Borrower or any other Person, or (iii) any failure or delay in exercising
any rights or powers possessed by the Issuing Bank in its capacity as issuer of Letters of Credit in the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each of the Revolving Credit Lenders expressly acknowledges that it has made and will
continue to make its own evaluations of the Borrower’s creditworthiness without reliance on any representation of the Issuing Bank or the Issuing Bank’s officers, agents and employees. 

(iv) If at any time the Issuing Bank shall recover any part of any unreimbursed amount for any draw or other demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit, or any interest thereon, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall receive same for the pro rata benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving
Credit Percentages and shall promptly deliver to each Revolving Credit Lender its share thereof, less such Revolving Credit Lender’s pro rata share of the costs of such recovery, including court costs and attorney’s fees. If at any
time any Revolving Credit Lender shall receive from any source whatsoever any payment on any such unreimbursed amount or interest thereon in excess of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such payment, such
Revolving Credit Lender will promptly pay over such excess to the Administrative Agent, for redistribution in accordance with this Agreement. 

(i) Indemnification. The Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees and agents of such Persons (each an “L/C Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent or any such Person may incur or which may be claimed against any of them by reason of or in connection
with any Letter of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Indemnified Amounts”), and none of the L/C Indemnified Persons shall be liable or responsible for: 

(i) the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or for any acts or omissions of any beneficiary in connection therewith; 

(ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be
in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; 
 (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary under any
Letter of Credit against presentation of documents which do not strictly comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit (unless such payment resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank), including failure of any
documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; 
 (iv) any error, omission, interruption or delay in
transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit; or 

  
 44 

 (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever arising in connection with any Letter of Credit.

 It is understood that in making any payment under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank will rely on documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit
as to any and all matters set forth therein without further investigation and regardless of any notice or information to the contrary. 
 With respect to
subparagraphs (i) through (v) hereof, (i) the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any L/C Indemnified Person for any L/C Indemnified Amounts to the extent such amounts result from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such L/C Indemnified Person or any officer, director, employee or agent of such L/C Indemnified Person and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower to the extent, but only to the extent,
of any direct, as opposed to consequential or incidental, damages suffered by the Borrower which were caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any L/C Indemnified Person or by the Issuing Bank’s wrongful dishonor of any Letter of
Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereunder of a draft or other demand for payment and other documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. 

(j) Right of Reimbursement. Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank on demand, pro rata in accordance
with its respective Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage, for (i) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Issuing Bank to be reimbursed by the
Borrower pursuant to any Letter of Credit Agreement or any Letter of Credit, to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, fees, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement (including Section 2.07(f)(iii) hereof), any Letter of Credit, any documentation or any transaction relating thereto, or any Letter of Credit Agreement, to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower, except to the extent that such liabilities, losses, costs or expenses were incurred by the Issuing Bank as a result of the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or by the Issuing Bank’s wrongful
dishonor of any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereunder of a draft or other demand for payment and other documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. 

(k) Existing Letters of Credit. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued hereunder as of the Effective Date.

 Section 2.08 Swing Line. 

(a) Swing Line Loans. The Swing Line Lender may, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth (including without
limitation Section 2.08(c) hereof), but shall not be required to, make one or more Loans (each such loan being a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective
Date hereof until (but excluding) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding the Swing Line Maximum Amount. Subject to the terms set forth herein, advances, repayments and readvances may be
made under the Swing Line. 
 (b) Accrual of Interest and Maturity; Evidence of Indebtedness. 

(i) The Swing Line Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower
to the Swing Line Lender 

  
 45 

 
resulting from each Swing Line Loan from time to time, including the amount and date of each Swing Line Loan, its applicable interest rate, its Interest Period, if any, and the amount and date of
any repayment made on any Swing Line Loan from time to time. The entries made in such account or accounts of the Swing Line Lender shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower
therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Swing Line Lender to maintain such account, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Swing Line Loans (and
all other amounts owing with respect thereto) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (ii) the Borrower agrees that, upon the
written request of the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender a Swing Line Note. 
 (iii) the
Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender the then unpaid principal amount of such Swing Line Loan (plus all accrued and unpaid interest) on (A) the earlier of (1) the
Termination Date and (2) the tenth Business Day after such Swing Line Loan is made and (B) on such other dates and in such other amounts as may be required from time to time pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, each Swing Line Loan shall, from time to time after the date of such Loan (until paid), bear interest at the rate specified in Section 3.02. 

(c) Requests for Swing Line Loans. The Borrower may request a Swing Line Loan by the delivery to the Swing Line Lender of a Request for
Swing Line Loan executed by a Responsible Officer for the Borrower, subject to the following: 
 (i) each such Request for Swing Line Loan
shall set forth the information required on the Request for Swing Line Loan, including without limitation, (A) the proposed date of such Swing Line Loan, which must be a Business Day, (B) whether such Swing Line Loan is to be a ABR Loan or
a Quoted Rate Loan, and (C) in the case of a Quoted Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto; 
 (ii) on the
proposed date of such Swing Line Loan, after giving effect to all outstanding requests for Swing Line Loans made by the Borrower as of the date of determination, (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans outstanding on such
date shall not exceed the Swing Line Maximum Amount and (B) the Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed its Commitment; 

(iii) on the proposed date of such Swing Line Loan, after giving effect to all outstanding requests for Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line
Loans and Letters of Credit requested by the Borrower on such date of determination (including, without duplication, Loans that are deemed disbursed pursuant to Section 2.07(f)(iii) hereof in respect of the Borrower’s Reimbursement
Obligations hereunder), the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Line Loans outstanding on such date plus (y) the Letter of Credit Obligations on such date shall not exceed the lesser of
(A) the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts, (B) the then applicable Borrowing Base and (C) the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount; 

(iv) (A) in the case of a Swing Line Loan that is an ABR Loan, the principal amount of the initial funding of such Loan, as opposed to
any refunding or conversion thereof, shall be at least $250,000 or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Swing Line Lender, and (B) in the case of a Swing Line Loan that is a Quoted Rate Loan, the principal amount of such Loan, plus any
other outstanding Swing Line Loans to be then combined therewith having the same Interest Period, if any, shall be at least $250,000 or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Swing Line Lender, and at any time there shall not be in effect
more than three (3) Interest Periods; 

  
 46 

 (v) each such Request for Swing Line Loan shall be delivered to the Swing Line Lender by 2:00
p.m. (New York time) on the proposed date of the Swing Line Loan; 
 (vi) each Request for Swing Line Loan, once delivered to the Swing
Line Lender, shall not be revocable by the Borrower, and shall constitute and include a certification by the Borrower as of the date thereof that the conditions set forth in subsections (a), (b) and (c) of
Section 6.02 have been satisfied; 
 (vii) At the option of the Administrative Agent, subject to revocation by
the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time and so long as the Administrative Agent is the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower may utilize the Administrative Agent’s “Sweep to Loan” automated system for obtaining Swing Line
Loans and making periodic repayments. At any time during which the “Sweep to Loan” system is in effect, Swing Line Loans shall be advanced to fund borrowing needs pursuant to the terms of the Sweep Agreement. Each time a Swing Line Loan is
made using the “Sweep to Loan” system, the Borrower shall be deemed to have certified to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders each of the matters set forth in clause (vi) of this Section 2.08(b). Principal and
interest on Swing Line Loans requested, or deemed requested, pursuant to this Section shall be paid pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Sweep Agreement without any deduction, setoff or counterclaim whatsoever. Unless sooner paid pursuant to
the provisions hereof or the provisions of the Sweep Agreement, the principal amount of the Swing Line Loans shall be paid in full, together with accrued interest thereon, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Administrative Agent may suspend
or revoke the Borrower’s privilege to use the “Sweep to Loan” system at any time and from time to time for any reason and, immediately upon any such revocation, the “Sweep to Loan” system shall no longer be available to the
Borrower for the funding of Swing Line Loans hereunder (or otherwise), and the regular procedures set forth in this Section 2.08 for the making of Swing Line Loans shall be deemed immediately to apply. The Administrative
Agent may, at its option, also elect to make Swing Line Loans upon the Borrower’s telephone requests on the basis set forth in the last paragraph of Section 2.03, provided that Borrower complies with the
provisions set forth in this Section 2.08. 
 (d) Disbursement of Swing Line Loans. Upon receiving any
executed Request for Swing Line Loan from the Borrower and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.08(c) hereof, the Swing Line Lender shall make available to the Borrower the amount so requested in Dollars not later than
3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of such Loan, by credit to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent or to such other account or third party as the Borrower may reasonably direct in writing, subject to applicable law,
provided such direction is timely given. The Swing Line Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any Swing Line Loan by telephone, telex or telecopier. 

(e) Refunding of or Participation Interest in Swing Line Loans. 

(i) The Swing Line Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent require the Revolving Credit Lenders to acquire
participations in all or a portion of its Swing Line Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans in which Revolving Credit Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative
Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Credit Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such Swing Line Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees, promptly upon receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent (and in any event, if such notice is received by 12:00 noon, New York time, on a Business Day no later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day and
if received after 12:00 noon, 

  
 47 

 
New York time, on a Business Day shall mean no later than 10:00 a.m. New York time on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing
Line Lenders, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”). 

provided, however, that the Swing Line Loans carried at the Quoted Rate which are refunded with Revolving Credit Loans at the request of the
Swing Line Lender at a time when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall not be subject to Section 5.02 and no losses, costs or expenses may be assessed by the Swing Line Lender against the
Borrower or the Revolving Credit Lenders as a consequence of such refunding. The applicable Revolving Credit Loans used to refund any Swing Line Loans shall be ABR Loans. In connection with the making of any such Refunded Swing Line Loans or the
purchase of a participation interest in Swing Line Loans under Section 2.08(e)(ii) hereof, the Swing Line Lender shall retain its claim against the Borrower for any unpaid interest or fees in respect thereof accrued to the date of such
refunding. Unless any of the events described in Section 10.01(h) or (i) hereof shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of Section 2.08(e)(ii) shall apply) and regardless of whether the conditions precedent set
forth in this Agreement to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan are then satisfied (but subject to Section 2.08(e)(iii)), each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 2.04(a) hereof prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given, in immediately
available funds. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans, subject to Section 5.02 hereof. 

(ii) If, prior to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to Section 2.08(e)(i) hereof, one of the events described in
Section 10.01(h) or (i) hereof shall have occurred, each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan was to have been made, purchase from the Swing Line Lender an undivided participating interest in each
Swing Line Loan that was to have been refunded in an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such Swing Line Loan. Each Revolving Credit Lender within the time periods specified in Section 2.08(e)(i) hereof, as
applicable, shall immediately transfer to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all Swing
Line Loans outstanding as of such date. Upon receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a Swing Line Participation Certificate evidencing such participation. 

(iii) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans to refund Swing Line Loans, and to purchase participation
interests, in accordance with Section 2.08(e)(i) and (ii), respectively, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A) any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the
occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any other Person; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower
or any other Person; (E) any inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which such Revolving Credit Loan is to be made or such participating interest is to be
purchased; (F) the reduction or termination of the Commitments hereunder; or (G) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If any Revolving Credit Lender does not make available
to the Administrative Agent the amount required pursuant to Section 2.08(e)(i) or (ii) hereof, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Swing Line Lender, shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand
from such Revolving Credit 

  
 48 

 
Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date of non-payment until such amount is paid in full (x) for the first two
(2) Business Days such amount remains unpaid, at the NYFRB Rate and (y) thereafter, at the rate of interest then applicable to such Swing Line Loans. The obligation of any Revolving Credit Lender to make available its pro rata
portion of the amounts required pursuant to Section 2.08(e)(i) or (ii) hereof shall not be affected by the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make such amounts available, and no Revolving Credit Lender shall have any
liability to any of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, or any other Revolving Credit Lender or any other party for another Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to make available the amounts
required under Section 2.08(e)(i) or (ii) hereof.

refunded or converted. 
 (f) Interest Rate Computations. All interest on Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), except that interest computed by

Revolving Credit Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Credit Borrowing or Swing Line Loan shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Credit Borrowing or Swing Line Loan
of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Credit Loans included in the prepaid Revolving Credit Borrowing. Prepayments shall be

 (c) Mandatory Prepayments. 

(i) If, after giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts pursuant to Section 2.05(b) or
reduction of the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount pursuant to Section 2.01(b), the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the total Commitments, then the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans on the
date of such termination or reduction in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans as a result of Letter of Credit Obligations, Cash
Collateralize such excess in an amount equal to the greater of (x) the amount of such Letter of Credit Obligations and (y) the maximum amount that may be available to be drawn at any time prior to the stated expiry of all outstanding
Letters of Credit. 
 (ii) (A) Upon any Scheduled Redetermination, Interim Redetermination or if the total Revolving Credit Exposures
exceeds the redetermined or adjusted Borrowing Base and the Administrative Agent sends a New Borrowing Base Notice to the Borrower indicating such deficiency (each, a “Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice”), then the Borrower shall
within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice elect whether to (I) prepay the Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans an amount which would, if prepaid immediately, reduce the total
Revolving Credit Exposures to the amount of the Borrowing Base, (II) execute one or more Security Instruments (or cause a Subsidiary to execute one or more Security Instruments) covering such other Oil and Gas Properties as are reasonably
acceptable to the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders having present values which, in the reasonable opinion of the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders, based upon the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders’ good-faith evaluation of the engineering data
provided them, taken in the aggregate are sufficient to increase the Borrowing Base to an amount at least equal to the total Revolving Credit Exposures, or (III) do any combination of the foregoing. If the Borrower fails to make an election
within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of the Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected the prepayment option specified in clause (III) above. To the extent any
prepayment of Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans is required hereunder, if any excess of total Revolving Credit Exposures over the Borrowing Base then in effect remains after prepaying all Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line
Loans as a result of Letter of Credit Obligations, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such excess in an amount equal to the greater of (x) the amount of such Letter of Credit Obligations and (y) the maximum amount that may be available
to be drawn at any time prior to the stated expiry of all outstanding Letters of Credit. 
 (B) The Borrower shall deliver such prepayments
or Security Instruments covering additional Oil and Gas Properties in accordance with its election (or deemed election) pursuant to Section 3.03(c)(ii)(A) as follows: 

(I) Prepayment Elections. If the Borrower elects to prepay an amount in accordance with Section 3.03(c)(ii)(A)(I) above, then
the Borrower may make such prepayment in six (6) equal consecutive monthly installments beginning within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of the Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice and continuing on the same day of each month
thereafter; provided that all payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.03(c)(ii)(B)(I) must be made on or prior to the Termination Date. 

(II) Elections to Mortgage Additional Oil and Gas Properties. If the Borrower elects to mortgage additional Oil and Gas Properties in
accordance with Section 3.03(c)(ii)(A)(II) above, then (1) such properties shall be reasonably acceptable to the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders having present values which, in the reasonable opinion of the Majority Revolving Credit
Lenders, based upon the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders’ good-faith evaluation of the engineering data provided them, taken in the aggregate are sufficient to increase the Borrowing Base 

  
 51 

 
to an amount at least equal to the total Revolving Credit Exposures, and (2) the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrative Agent one or more
Security Instruments within thirty (30) days after the Borrower’s receipt of the Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice (or such longer time as determined by the Administrative Agent); provided, however (x) if none of the
additional Oil and Gas Properties offered by the Borrower are reasonably acceptable to the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected the prepayment option specified in Section 3.03(c)(ii)(A)(I) (and
Borrower shall make such prepayment in accordance with Section 3.03(c)(ii)(B)(I)); and (y) if the aggregate present values of additional Oil and Gas Properties which are reasonably acceptable to the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders are
insufficient to eliminate the Borrowing Base deficiency, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected the option specified in Section 3.03(c)(ii)(A)(III) (and the Borrower shall make prepayment and deliver or cause to be delivered one
or more Security Instruments as provided in Section 3.03(c)(ii)(B)(III)). Together with such Security Instruments, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent title opinions and/or other title information and data acceptable to the
Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent shall have received, together with the title information previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, satisfactory title information on at least 80% of the total value of the proved Oil
and Gas Properties evaluated by the most recent Reserve Report and which are required to be Mortgaged Properties hereunder. 
 (III)
Combination Elections. If the Borrower elects (or is deemed to have elected) to eliminate the Borrowing Base deficiency by a combination of prepayment and mortgaging of additional Oil and Gas Properties in accordance with Section
3.03(c)(ii)(A)(III), then within thirty (30) days after the Borrower’s receipt of the Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice (or such longer time as determined by the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall (or shall cause a Subsidiary to)
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrative Agent one or more Security Instruments covering such additional Oil and Gas Properties and pay the Administrative Agent the amount by which the Borrowing Base deficiency exceeds the present
values of such additional Oil and Gas Properties in six (6) equal consecutive monthly installments beginning within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of the Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice and continuing on the same day of
each month thereafter; provided that all payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.03(c)(ii)(B)(III) must be made on or prior to the Termination Date. 

(iii) Upon any adjustment to the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 9.11 or pursuant to Section 2.06(e), if
the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the Borrowing Base as adjusted, then the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and if any excess remains after
prepaying all of the Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans as a result of Letter of Credit Obligations, Cash Collateralize such excess in an amount equal to the greater of (x) the amount of such Letter of Credit Obligations and
(y) the maximum amount that may be available to be drawn at any time prior to the stated expiry of all outstanding Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall be obligated to make such prepayment and/or Cash Collateralize such excess on the second (2nd) Business Day after it receives the applicable New Borrowing Base Notice in accordance with Section 2.06(d); provided that all payments required to be made pursuant to this Section
3.03(c)(iii) must be made on or prior to the Termination Date. 
 (iv) To the extent that any prepayment is due under Section
3.03(c)(ii), upon receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, the Borrower shall be obligated to prepay the Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans by an amount equal to the
lesser of (A) the outstanding prepayment due under Section 3.03(c)(ii) and (B) one hundred percent (100%) of such Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be and, with respect to a prepayment under clause
(B) above, if any excess remains after paying all of the Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans, Cash Collateralize such excess in an amount equal 

  
 52 

 
to the greater of (x) the amount of Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding and (y) the maximum amount that may be available to be drawn at any time prior to the stated expiry of all
outstanding Letters of Credit; provided, however, that no prepayment shall be required under this Section 3.03(c)(iv) if Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries applies, or notifies the Administrative Agent within 30 days of
receipt of such proceeds of its intent to apply within 365 days and so applies, any such Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds toward the purchase of assets useful in the business of the Credit Parties. 

(v) Each prepayment of Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) shall be applied,
first, ratably to any ABR Revolving Credit Borrowings then outstanding, second, to any ABR Swing Line Loans then outstanding, third, to any Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowings then outstanding, and if more than one Eurodollar
Revolving Credit Borrowing is then outstanding, to each such Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing in order of priority beginning with the Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing with the least number of days remaining in the Interest Period
applicable thereto and ending with the Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing with the most number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto, and, fourth, to Quoted Rate Loans; provided, however, if any excess
remains after the prepayment of all Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans and after the Borrower Cash Collateralizes all Letter of Credit Obligations or outstanding Letters of Credit, such excess shall be prepaid by the Borrower. 

(vi) Each prepayment of Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) shall be accompanied by
accrued interest on the amount prepaid to the extent required by Section 3.02 or 4.06, as applicable. 

(vii) To the extent that any prepayment is due under Section 3.03(c)(ii) or (iii), upon receipt by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance of Debt, except as permitted under Section 9.02(a) through (h), the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of
(A) the outstanding prepayment due under Section 3.03(c)(ii) and (B) the amount necessary to prepay the Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 3.03(c)(v) and, with respect to a prepayment under
clause (B) above, if any excess remains after paying all of the Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swing Line Loans, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such excess in an amount equal to the greater of (x) the amount of Letter of Credit
Obligations outstanding and (y) the maximum amount that may be available to be drawn at any time prior to the stated expiry of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

(a) Commitment Fees. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.03(b)(iii), the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the actual daily amount of the undrawn Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender during the period from and
including the date of this Agreement to but excluding the Termination Date (such fee, the “Commitment Fee”); provided, that for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee owing to any Revolving Credit Lender, the undrawn
Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender shall not be reduced by the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of any Swing Line Loan that is not a Refunded Swing Line Loan. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in
arrears on the first day of each February, May, August and November of each year (with respect to the preceding three months or portion thereof) and on 

  
 53 

 
the Termination Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand), commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. If there is any change in the Commitment of any Revolving Credit
Lender during any such three-month period, the actual daily amount of the Commitment shall be computed and multiplied by the Commitment Fee Rate separately for each period during such three-month period such Commitment was in effect. All Commitment
Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable
for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (b) Administrative Agent Fees. The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter. 

(c) Arranger Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Arrangers, for their own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times set
forth in the Fee Letter or as otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the Arrangers.

Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017, for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders in the case of payments in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans and any Letter of Credit Obligations. Any payment received by the Administrative
Agent after 1:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Upon receipt of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall make prompt payment to
each applicable Lender, or, in respect of Eurodollar Borrowing, such Lender’s Eurodollar Lending Office, in like funds and currencies, of all amounts received by it for the account of such Lender. 

(ii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower at least two (2) Business Days prior to the
date on which any payment to be made by the Borrower is due that the Borrower does not intend to remit such payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion and without obligation to do so, assume that the Borrower has remitted such
payment when so due and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Revolving Credit Lender, as the case may be, on such payment date an amount equal to such Lender’s share of such assumed payment. If
the Borrower has not in fact remitted such payment to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available or transferred to such Lender, together with
the interest thereon, in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the
NYFRB Rate for the first two (2) Business Days that such amount remains unpaid, and thereafter at a rate of interest then applicable to such Borrowings. 

  
 54 

 (iii) Subject to the definition of “Interest Period” in
Section 1.02 of this Agreement, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of
time shall be included in computing interest, if any, in connection with such payment. 
 (b) Application of Insufficient Payments.
If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied first, towards
payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and second, towards payment of principal and Reimbursement Obligations
then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due to such parties. 

(c) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in Reimbursement Obligations or Swing Line Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in Reimbursement Obligations and Swing Line Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for
cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in Reimbursement Obligations and Swing Line Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in Reimbursement Obligations and Swing Line Loans; provided that if any such participations are purchased and all or any
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall not be
construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans
or participations in Reimbursement Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to
the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of
set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

Section 4.02 Deductions by the Administrative Agent; Defaulting Lender. 

(a) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04(a), Section 2.07(f) or Section 4.02, then the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral
for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender hereunder, in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 

  
 55 

 (b) 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: 

(i) The obligation of any Lender to make any Loan hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan under
this Agreement, and no Lender shall have any liability to the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, any other Lender, or any other Person for another Lender’s failure to make any loan or Loan hereunder. 

(ii) If any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, then such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the
loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation any right to vote in respect of any amendment, consent or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, or to direct or approve any action or
inaction by the Administrative Agent shall be suspended for the entire period that such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender and the stated commitment amounts and outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether
all Lenders, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders (or any class thereof) or the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders (or any class thereof), as the case may be, have taken or may take any action hereunder (including, without limitation, any action to
approve any consent, waiver or amendment to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not permit (A) an increase in such Defaulting Lender’s stated commitment amounts,
(B) the waiver, forgiveness or reduction of the principal amount of any Obligations outstanding to such Defaulting Lender (unless all other Lenders affected thereby are treated similarly), (C) the extension of the final maturity date(s) of such
Defaulting Lenders’ portion of any of the loans or other extensions of credit or other obligations of the Borrower owing to such Defaulting Lender, in each case without such Defaulting Lender’s consent, (D) any other modification
which under Section 12.02 requires the consent of all Lenders or Lender(s) affected thereby which affects the Defaulting Lender differently than the Non-Defaulting Lenders affected by
such modification, other than a change to or waiver of the requirements of Section 4.01(b) which results in a reduction of the Defaulting Lender’s commitment or its share of the Obligations on a non
pro-rata basis. 
 (iii) To the extent and for so long as a Lender remains a Defaulting Lender and
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.01(b) hereof, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled, without limitation, (A) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of those obligations for payment (and any related interest)
in respect of which the Defaulting Lender shall be delinquent or otherwise in default to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or to hold as cash collateral for such delinquent obligations or any future defaults) the amounts otherwise payable to
such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) if the amount of Loans made by such Defaulting Lender is less than its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage, as the case may be, requires, apply payments of principal
made by the Borrower amongst the Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis until all outstanding Loans are held by all Lenders according to their respective Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages, and
(C) to bring an action or other proceeding, in law or equity, against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the delinquent amounts, and any related interest. Performance by the Borrower of its obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section, except to the extent expressly set forth herein and in any event the Borrower shall not be required to pay any
Commitment Fee under Section 3.04(a) of this Agreement in respect of such Defaulting Lender’s Unfunded Portion for the period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender. Furthermore, the rights and remedies of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and the other Lenders 

  
 56 

 
against a Defaulting Lender under this section shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies such parties may have against the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise, and the Borrower waive no rights or remedies against any Defaulting Lender. 

Section 4.03 Disposition of Proceeds. The Security Instruments 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 production and all proceeds attributable thereto which may be produced from or allocated to the
Mortgaged Property. The Security Instruments further provide in general for the application of such proceeds to the satisfaction of the Obligations and other obligations described therein and secured thereby. Notwithstanding the assignment contained
in such Security Instruments, until the occurrence of an Event of Default, 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 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. 
 ARTICLE V 

INCREASED COSTS; REIMBURSEMENT OF PREPAYMENT COSTS; 

TAXES; LIBO RATE AVAILABILITY 

Section 5.01 Increased Costs. 

(a) Increased Costs. 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 the Issuing Bank; 

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes)
affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or 
 (iii) subject any Recipient
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 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, the Issuing Bank 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, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise),
then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

  
 57 

 (b) Capital Adequacy and Other Increased Costs. 

(i) If, after the Effective Date, the adoption or introduction of, or any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether
domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or the Administrative Agent with any guideline, request or directive of any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including any risk based capital guidelines (each, a
“Change in Law”), affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required to be maintained by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (or any corporation controlling such Lender or the Administrative Agent) and such
Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s obligations or Borrowings hereunder
and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such obligations or Borrowings hereunder to a level below
that which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (or such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent to be material (collectively, “Increased Costs”), then the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify the Borrower, and thereafter the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the
case may be, within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor from such Lender or the Administrative Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent (or such controlling corporation) for any
increase in the amount of capital or liquidity and reduced rate of return which such Lender or the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s obligations or
Borrowings hereunder. A statement setting forth the amount of such compensation, the methodology for the calculation and the calculation thereof which shall also be prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, shall be submitted by such Lender or by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, reasonably promptly after becoming aware of any event described in this Section 5.01(b) and shall be conclusively presumed to be
correct, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith
and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory
authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “Change in Law” regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. 

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any increased costs under Sections 5.01(a),
5.01(b) or 2.07(d) for any period ending prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the making of a Lender’s initial request for such additional amounts unless the applicable Change in Law or other event resulting in such
increased costs is effective retroactively to a date more than 180 days prior to the date of such request, in which case a Lender’s request for such additional amounts relating to the period more than 180 days prior to the making of the request
must be given not more than 180 days after such Lender becomes aware of the applicable Change in Law or other event resulting in such increased costs. 

  
 58 

 Section 5.02 Reimbursement of Prepayment Costs. If (i) the Borrower makes any
payment of principal with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing or Quoted Rate Loan on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntarily, pursuant to any mandatory provisions hereof, by acceleration, or
otherwise); (ii) the Borrower converts or refunds (or attempts to convert or refund) any such Borrowing or Loan on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (except as described in Section 2.08(e)); (iii) the
Borrower fails to borrow, refund or convert any Eurodollar Borrowing or Quoted Rate Loan after notice has been given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof requesting such Borrowing or Loan; or (iv) or
if the Borrower fails to make any payment of principal in respect of a Eurodollar Borrowing or Quoted Rate Loan when due, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for itself and/or on behalf of any Lender, as the case may be, within ten
(10) Business Days of written demand therefor for any resulting loss, cost or expense incurred (excluding the loss of any Applicable Margin) by the Administrative Agent and Lenders, as the case may be, as a result thereof, including, without
limitation, any such loss, cost or expense incurred in obtaining, liquidating, employing or redeploying deposits from third parties, whether or not the Administrative Agent and Lenders, as the case may be, shall have funded or committed to fund such
Borrowing or Loan. The amount payable hereunder by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for itself and/or on behalf of any Lender, as the case may be, shall be deemed to equal an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of
interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, refunded or converted, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, refund or convert, through the last day of the relevant Interest
Period, at the applicable rate of interest for said Borrowing(s) or Loans(s) provided under this Agreement, over (b) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as the case may be) which would
have accrued to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as the case may be, on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurocurrency market. Calculation of any amounts payable to any
Lender under this paragraph shall be made as though such Lender shall have actually funded or committed to fund the relevant Borrowing or Loan through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such Borrowing or Loan
and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that any Lender may fund any Eurodollar Borrowing or Quoted Rate Loan, as the case may be, in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing assumptions
shall be utilized only for the purpose of the calculation of amounts payable under this paragraph. 
 The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall deliver
to the Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis for determining such losses, costs and expenses, which certificate shall be conclusively presumed correct, absent manifest error. 

Section 5.03 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Credit Parties under any Loan Document shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Credit Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then the sum payable shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03(a)), the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case
may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, the Credit Parties shall make such deductions and the Credit Parties shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law. 

  
 59 

 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Indemnification by the Borrower and Lenders. 

(i) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor,
for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate of the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank as to the amount of such payment or
liability under this Section 5.03 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(ii) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 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 Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes
attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04(b)(viii) 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 Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were 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 Loan 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 Section 5.03(c)(ii). 

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Credit Parties to a
Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence
of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Status of Lenders. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document
shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as will enable the Withholding 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 5.03(e)(ii)(A) and (ii)(B) and Section 5.03(g) 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. 

  
 60 

 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a
“United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, 
 (A) any Lender that is a “United
States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Withholding Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request
of the Withholding Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Withholding Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Withholding Agent), whichever of the
following is applicable: 
 (I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form
W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with
respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(II) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of
the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a
“10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or 

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form
W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are
claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
and 
 (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Withholding Agent (in
such number of copies as shall be requested by the 

  
 61 

 
recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Withholding Agent),
executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by
applicable law to permit the Withholding Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 Each Lender agrees that if
any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Withholding Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(f) Administrative Agent. On or before the date on which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (and any successor or replacement Administrative
Agent) becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, it shall deliver to the Borrower two duly executed originals of either (i) IRS Form W-9, or (ii) IRS Form
W-8ECI (with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf) and IRS Form W-8IMY (for all other payments), establishing that the Borrower can make payments to
the Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States, including Taxes imposed under FATCA. 

(g) FATCA. (i) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax
imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails 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 Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time
or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding 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 Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the
amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of Section 5.03(f) and this Section 5.03(g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

(ii) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Effective Date, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Credit Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 
 (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or
the Issuing Bank determines, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 5.03, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 5.03
with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). 

Section 5.04 Mitigation Obligations; Designation of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 5.01, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, then such Lender shall
use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending 

  
 62 

 
office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future and would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed
cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

Section 5.05 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01,
(b) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, (c) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (or would constitute a
Defaulting Lender under clause (a) of the definition thereof but for such Lender’s good faith determination that one or more conditions precedent to funding has not been satisfied and the Borrower disputes such determination), or
(d) any Lender fails to provide its consent to increase or maintain the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(iii) and the Super Majority Revolving Credit Lenders have provided their consent to increase or maintain the Borrowing
Base pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(iii), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of clause (d) above, within thirty (30) days of the
effectiveness of the redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.06(d)), require, in the case of clauses (a) through (c) above, such Lender (and, in the case of clause (d) above, within thirty
(30) days of the effectiveness of the redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.06(d)) to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.04(a)),
all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and
participations in Reimbursement Obligations and Swing Line Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or
the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 5.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender
or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall not be required to make any such assignment and
delegation if such Lender (or its Affiliate) is a Secured Swap Party with any outstanding Secured Swap Agreement, unless on or prior thereto, all such Swap Agreements have been terminated or novated to another Person and such Lender (or its
Affiliate) shall have received payment of all amounts, if any, payable to it in connection with such termination or novation. 

Section 5.06 Circumstances Affecting LIBO Rate Availability. If the Administrative Agent or the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders
(after consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall determine in good faith that, by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, deposits in Eurodollars in the applicable amounts are not being offered
to the Administrative Agent or such Lenders at the applicable LIBO Rate, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that such circumstances no longer
exist, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans which bear interest at or by reference to the LIBO Rate, and the right of the 

  
 63 

 
Borrower to convert a Borrowing to or refund an Borrowing as a Borrowing which bear interest at or by reference to the LIBO Rate shall be suspended, (ii) effective upon the last day of each
Interest Period related to any existing Eurodollar Borrowing, each such Eurodollar Borrowing shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing which bears interest at or by reference to the Alternate Base Rate (without regard to the satisfaction of
any conditions to conversion contained elsewhere herein), and (iii) effective immediately following such notice, each Borrowing which bears interest at or by reference to the Daily Adjusting LIBO Rate shall automatically be converted into
Borrowing which bears interest at or by reference to the Alternate Base Rate without regard to the reference in the definition thereof to the Daily Adjusting LIBO Rate (and without regard to the satisfaction of any conditions to conversion contained
elsewhere herein). 
 Section 5.07 Laws Affecting LIBO Rate Availability. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption or
introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders
(or any of their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurodollar
Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Loan which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBO Rate, such Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent. Thereafter,
(a) the obligations of the applicable Lenders to make Loans which bear interest at or by reference to the LIBO Rate and the right of the Borrower to convert Borrowing into or refund a Borrowing as a Borrowing which bears interest at or by
reference to the LIBO Rate shall be suspended and thereafter only the Alternate Base Rate shall be available, and (b) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a Borrowing which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBO
Rate, the applicable Borrowing shall immediately be converted to a Borrowing which bears interest at or by reference to the Alternate Base Rate. For purposes of this Section 5.07, a Change in Law or any change in rule,
regulation, interpretation or administration shall include, without limitation, any change made or which becomes effective on the basis of a law, rule, regulation, interpretation or administration presently in force, the effective date of which
change is delayed by the terms of such law, rule, regulation, interpretation or administration. 
 Section 5.08 Eurodollar Lending
Office. For any Eurodollar Loan, if the Administrative Agent or a Lender, as applicable, shall designate a Eurodollar Lending Office which maintains books separate from those of the rest of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall have the option of maintaining and carrying the relevant Loan on the books of such Eurodollar Lending Office. 

Section 5.09 Right of Lenders to Fund through Branches and Affiliates. Each Lender (including without limitation the Swing Line
Lender) may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any Borrowing hereunder by designating a branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Borrowing; provided that (a) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the
performances of its obligations hereunder and (b) no such designation shall result in any increased costs to Borrower.

authorization of the Transactions). Each Loan Document and Acquisition Document to which a 

  
 68 

 
Credit Party is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Credit Party and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable in accordance with its

Parties or any other Person), nor is any such consent, approval, registration, filing or other action necessary for the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or the consummation of the Transactions, except such as have been obtained or
made and are in full force and effect other than the recording and filing of the Security Instruments as required by this Agreement and those third party approvals or consents which, if not made or obtained, would not cause a Default hereunder or

Material Adverse Effect, that involve any Loan Document, any Acquisition Document or the Transactions or that could impair the consummation of the Acquisition on the time and in the manner contemplated by the Acquisition Documents.

other instruments binding upon it or its Property, and possesses all licenses, permits, franchises, exemptions, approvals and other governmental authorizations necessary for the ownership of its Property and the conduct of its business, except where

Credit Party has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of
the Credit Parties in respect of Taxes and other governmental charges are, in the reasonable opinion of the Parent and the Borrower, adequate. No Tax Lien has been filed and, to the knowledge of the Parent and the Borrower, no claim is being

information, taken as a whole, furnished by or on behalf of the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the negotiation of any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto, do not contain any
material misstatement of fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were or are made, not misleading as of the date such information is dated or certified;
provided that (a) to the extent any such certificate, statement, report, or information was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, each Credit Party represents only that it acted in good faith and utilized reasonable
assumptions and due care in the preparation of such certificate, statement, report, or information (it being recognized by the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that results during the period(s)

reports supplied by third parties after the Effective Date, each of the Parent and the Borrower represents only that it is not aware of any material misstatement or omission therein. There are no statements or conclusions in any Reserve Report which
are based upon or include material misleading information or fail to take into account material information regarding the matters reported therein, it being understood that projections concerning volumes attributable to the Oil and Gas Properties of
the Credit Parties and production and cost estimates contained in each Reserve Report are necessarily based upon professional opinions, estimates and projections and that the Credit Parties do not warrant that such opinions, estimates and
projections will ultimately prove to have been accurate. 
 Section 7.12 Insurance. Each of the Parent and the Borrower has, and
has caused all of its other Credit Parties to have, all insurance policies sufficient for the compliance by each of them with all material Governmental Requirements and all material agreements and insurance coverage in at least amounts and against

and the Lenders have been named as additional insureds in respect of such liability insurance policies and the Administrative Agent has been named as loss payee with respect to Property loss insurance. 

  
 72 

 Section 7.13 Restriction on Liens. No Credit Party is a party to any material
agreement or arrangement, or subject to any order, judgment, writ or decree, which either restricts or purports to restrict its ability to grant Liens to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on or in respect of their Properties to secure the
Debt and the Loan Documents, or restricts any Credit Party from paying dividends or making any other distributions in respect of its Equity Interests to any other Credit Party, or restricts any Credit Party from making loans or advances to any other
Credit Party, or which requires the consent of other Persons in connection therewith, except, in each case, for such encumbrances or restrictions permitted under Section 9.14. 

Section 7.14 Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on Schedule 7.14 or as disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent

Titles, Etc. 
 (a) Each of the Credit Parties has good and defensible title to their respective Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the
most recently delivered Reserve Report and good title to all its material personal Properties, in each case, free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens. The Credit Parties own in all material respects the net interests in production
attributable to the Hydrocarbon Interests as reflected in the most recently delivered Reserve Report, and the ownership of such Properties shall not in any material respect obligate the Credit Parties to bear the costs and expenses relating to the
maintenance, development and operations of each such Property in an amount in excess of the working interest of each Property set forth in the most recently delivered Reserve Report that is not offset by a corresponding proportionate increase in the
Credit Parties’ net revenue interest in such Property. 
 (b) All leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of
the Credit Parties are valid and subsisting, in full force and effect, and there exists no default or event or circumstance which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would give rise to a default under any such lease or leases,
which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) The rights and Properties presently owned, leased or licensed
by the Credit Parties including, without limitation, all easements and rights of way, include all rights and Properties necessary to permit the Credit Parties to conduct their business in all material respects in the same manner as their business
has been conducted prior to the date hereof. 

  
 73 

 (d) All of the Properties of the Credit Parties which are reasonably necessary for the operation
of their businesses are in good working condition and are maintained in accordance with prudent business standards. 
 (e) Each Credit Party
owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents and other intellectual Property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Credit Parties does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any
such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Credit Parties either own or have valid licenses or other rights to use all databases, geological data,
geophysical data, engineering data, seismic data, maps, interpretations and other technical information used in their businesses as presently conducted, subject to the limitations contained in the agreements governing the use of the same. 

Section 7.17 Maintenance of Properties. Except for such acts or failures to act as could not be reasonably expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, the Oil and Gas Properties (and Properties unitized therewith) of Credit Parties have in all material respects, been maintained, operated and developed in a good and workmanlike manner and in conformity with all Governmental
Requirements and in conformity with the provisions of all leases, subleases or other contracts comprising a part of the Hydrocarbon Interests and other contracts and agreements forming a part of the Oil and Gas Properties of the Credit Parties.

 Section 8.13 Title Information. 

(a) On or before the delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders of each Reserve Report required by Section
8.12(a), the Borrower will deliver title information in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent covering enough of the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report that were not included in the immediately preceding
Reserve Report, so that the Administrative Agent shall have received together with title information previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, satisfactory title information on at least 85% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas
Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report and which are required to be Mortgaged Properties hereunder. 
 (b) If the Borrower has provided
title information for additional Properties under Section 8.13(a), the Borrower shall, within 60 days after notice from the Administrative Agent that title defects or exceptions exist with respect to such additional Properties, either
(i) cure any such title defects or exceptions (including defects or exceptions as to priority) which are not permitted by Section 9.03 raised by such information, (ii) substitute acceptable Mortgaged Properties

substance reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent so that the Administrative Agent shall have received, together with title information previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, satisfactory title information on at least 85% of the
total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties of the Credit Parties evaluated by such Reserve Report. 
 (c) If the Borrower is unable to
cure any title defect requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to be cured within the 60-day period or the Borrower does not comply with the requirements to provide acceptable title information
covering 85% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties of the Credit Parties evaluated in the most recent Reserve Report, such default shall not be a Default, but instead the Administrative Agent and/or the Required Revolving Credit
Lenders shall have the right to exercise the following remedy in their sole discretion from time to time, and any failure to so exercise this remedy at any time shall not be a waiver as to future exercise of the remedy by the Administrative Agent or
the Required Revolving Credit Lenders: such unacceptable Mortgaged Property shall not count towards the 85% requirement, and the Administrative Agent may send a notice to the Borrower and the Lenders that the then outstanding Borrowing Base shall be
reduced by an amount as determined by the Required Revolving Credit Lenders to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the requirement to provide acceptable title information on 85% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties of the
Credit Parties. This new Borrowing Base shall become effective immediately after receipt of such notice. 
 Section 8.14 Additional
Collateral; Additional Guarantors. 
 (a) In connection with each redetermination of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall review the
Reserve Report and the list of current Mortgaged Properties (as described in Section 8.12(c)) to ascertain whether the Mortgaged Properties represent at least 85% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the most
recently completed Reserve Report after giving effect to exploration and production activities, acquisitions, dispositions and production. In the event that the Mortgaged Properties do not represent at least 85% of such total value as determined by
the Administrative Agent, then each of the Parent and the Borrower shall, or shall cause one or more of the other Credit Parties to, grant, within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a request from the Administrative Agent, to the
Administrative Agent as security for the Obligations, Security Instruments covering additional Oil and Gas Properties not already subject to a Lien of the Security Instruments such that after giving effect thereto, the Mortgaged Properties will
represent at least 85% of such total value. All such 

  
 83 

 
Liens will be created and perfected by and in accordance with the provisions of deeds of trust, security agreements and financing statements or other Security Instruments, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and in sufficient executed (and acknowledged where necessary or appropriate) counterparts for recording purposes. In order to comply with the foregoing, if any Subsidiary of the Parent or
the Borrower places a Lien on its Oil and Gas Properties and such Subsidiary is not a Guarantor, then it shall become a Guarantor and comply with Section 8.14(b). 

(b) The Borrower shall promptly cause each Domestic Subsidiary that is not an Unrestricted Subsidiary to guarantee the Obligations pursuant to
the Guaranty Agreement. In connection with any such guaranty, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Subsidiary to, promptly, but in any event no later than 30 days (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable
discretion) after the formation or acquisition (or other similar event) of such Subsidiary to, execute and deliver a supplement to the Guaranty Agreement executed by such Subsidiary, a supplement executed by such Subsidiary to the Security Agreement
executed by the Credit Parties on the Effective Date, a pledge all of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary (including, without limitation, delivery of original stock certificates evidencing the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary, together with
an appropriate undated stock powers for each certificate duly executed in blank by the registered owner thereof) and execute and deliver such other additional closing documents, certificates and legal opinions as shall reasonably be requested by the
Administrative Agent. 
 (c) Not later than thirty (30) days following the consummation of the Acquisition, each of the Parent and the
Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, execute and deliver such Security Instruments and such other additional closing documents, certificates and legal opinions as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent as
may be necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 8.14(a) and (b) above. For purposes of this Section 8.14(c), the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the “most recently completed

Subsidiary may participate in a consolidation with the Borrower (provided that the Borrower shall be the survivor) or any other Subsidiary and any Unrestricted Subsidiary may participate in a consolidation with the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (provided that, if the Borrower participates in the consolidation, the Borrower shall be the surviving entity, and otherwise, such Subsidiary shall be the continuing or surviving entity). 

Section 9.11 Sale of Properties. Neither the Parent nor the Borrower will, nor will they permit any other Credit Party to, sell,

and Gas Properties and commodity Swap Agreements with an aggregate Borrowing Base value in excess of five percent (5%) of the Borrowing Base value of all Oil and Gas Properties included in the Borrowing Base of the Credit Parties (as determined by
the Administrative Agent), are Transferred or unwound or terminated, as applicable, by any one or more Credit Parties pursuant to the preceding subsection (e), subsection (f) and/or subsection (g), then the Borrowing Base
will be reduced, effective immediately, by the Borrowing Base values in excess of such five percent threshold; provided that for purposes of this sentence, (i) a commodity Swap Agreement shall be deemed to have not been unwound or
terminated if, (x) such commodity Swap Agreement is novated from the existing counterparty to an Approved Counterparty, with the Borrower or the applicable Credit Party being the “remaining party” for purposes of such novation, or
(y) upon its termination or unwinding, it is replaced, in a substantially contemporaneous transaction, with one or more commodity Swap Agreements with approximately the same
mark-to-market value and without cash payments to any Loan Party in connection therewith, and (ii) an Oil and Gas Property shall be deemed to have not been
Transferred if upon its Transfer, it is replaced, in a substantially contemporaneous transaction, with Oil and Gas Properties with approximately the same PV-9 value as evidenced by reasonably satisfactory
Engineering Reports delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to the effectiveness of such transaction. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the Transfer of an E&P Credit Party owning such Oil and Gas Properties and/or commodity Swap
Agreements pursuant to the preceding subsection (f) shall be deemed the Transfer of the Oil and Gas Properties and the unwinding or termination of the commodity Swap Agreements owned by such E&P Subsidiary.

nor will they permit any other Credit Party to, enter into any transaction, including, without limitation, any purchase, sale, lease or exchange of Property or the rendering of any service, with any Affiliate (other than one of the other Credit

Section 9.13 Subsidiaries. Neither the Parent nor the Borrower will, nor will they permit any other Credit Party to, create or
acquire any additional Subsidiary or redesignate an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary unless the Borrower complies with Section 8.14(b). Neither the Parent nor the Borrower will, nor will they permit any other Credit Party
to, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any Equity Interests in any Credit Party except (a) to another Credit Party or (b) in compliance with Section 9.11(f). No Credit Party shall have any Foreign Subsidiaries. 

Section 9.14 Negative Pledge Agreements; Dividend Restrictions. Neither the Parent nor the Borrower will, nor will they permit any
other Credit Party to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any contract, agreement or understanding (other than this Agreement, the Security Instruments, agreements with respect to Purchase Money Indebtedness or Capital Leases secured by Liens

or (i) of the definition of “Excepted Liens”, but then only with respect to the Property that is the subject of the applicable lease, document or license described in such clause (d), (f), (h)
or (i)) that in any way prohibits or restricts the granting, conveying, creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its Property in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, or restricts any Credit Party
from paying dividends or making any other distributions in respect of its Equity Interests to any Credit Party. Neither the Parent nor the Borrower will, nor will they permit any other Credit Party to, prior to the date that is 180 days after the

Borrowing Base deficiency or Default exists or results therefrom and (b) after giving pro forma effect to such Redemption, the Commitment Utilization Percentage (but only to the extent that the Borrower is permitted to borrow such amount under
the terms of this Agreement, including Section 6.02 hereof) is not more than eighty percent (80%), any Credit Party may voluntarily Redeem any principal in respect of such Debt; provided, however, the Borrower

each on an mcf equivalent basis in the aggregate. 

  
 92

permit any other Credit Party to, enter into any Swap Agreements with any Person other than (a) Swap Agreements in respect of commodities with an Approved Counterparty fixing a price for a term of not more than sixty months and the notional

Agreements) do not exceed, as of the date such Swap Agreement is executed, eighty-five percent (85%) of the reasonably anticipated projected production from Oil and Gas Properties for each month during which such Swap Agreement is in effect for each
of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids calculated separately, provided that the Borrower (A) shall have the option to update the reasonably anticipated projected production from Oil and Gas Properties between the delivery of
Reserve Reports hereunder (which updates shall be provided to the Administrative Agent in writing and shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and (B) shall, without causing a breach of this
Section 9.16, have the option to enter into commodity Swap Agreements with respect to (x) such updated projected production and (y) reasonably anticipated projected production from Oil and Gas Properties not then
owned by the Credit Parties but which are subject to a binding purchase agreement for which one or more of the Credit Parties are scheduled to acquire such Oil and Gas Properties within the applicable period, provided that, if such purchase
agreement does not close for any reason on the date required thereunder, including any binding extensions thereof, within thirty (30) days of such required closing date, the Credit Parties shall unwind or otherwise terminate the Swap Agreements
entered into with respect to production that was to be acquired thereunder, and (b) Swap Agreements in respect of interest rates with an Approved Counterparty, the notional amounts of which (when aggregated with all other Swap Agreements of the
Credit Parties then in effect) do not exceed eighty-five percent (85%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Borrower’s Debt for borrowed money. In no event shall any Swap Agreement, other than a master Swap Agreement pursuant to
which any Credit Party executes only put or floor options as to which an upfront premium has been paid, contain any requirement, agreement or covenant for any Credit Party to post collateral or margin to secure their obligations under such Swap
Agreement other than the benefit of the Security Instruments as contemplated herein.

Parent and the Borrower may designate by written notification thereof to the Administrative Agent, any Person that would otherwise be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent or the Borrower, as applicable, including a newly formed or newly acquired
Person that would otherwise be a Subsidiary of the Parent or the Borrower, as applicable, as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if (i) prior, and after giving effect, to such designation, neither a Default nor a Borrowing Base deficiency would exist,
(ii) 

  
 93 

 
such Person does not own or operate any Oil and Gas Properties included in the most recently delivered Reserve Report for which a Borrowing Base has been established, other than Oil and Gas
Properties permitted to be sold or otherwise transferred pursuant to Section 9.11 (which shall count as a Transfer thereunder), (iii) such Person is not a guarantor or the primary obligor with respect to any Debt permitted
under Section 9.02(g) unless such Person will be released contemporaneously with such designation, (iv) such Person is not a party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Borrower or any Subsidiary unless the
terms of such agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are permitted by Section 9.12, (v) such designation is deemed to be an Investment in an Unrestricted Subsidiary in an amount equal to the fair market value as
of the date of such designation of the Borrower’s direct or indirect ownership interest in such Person and such Investment would be permitted to be made at the time of such designation under Section 9.05(k), and (vi) the
Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Parent or the Borrower, as applicable, certifying that such designation complies with the requirements of this Section 9.18(b). For purposes of the
foregoing, the designation of a Person as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be the designation of all present and future subsidiaries of such Person as Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Except as provided in this Section 9.18(b), no
Restricted Subsidiary may be redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 (c) The Parent and the Borrower may designate any Unrestricted
Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if after giving effect to such designation, (i) the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained in each of the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of

and the Borrower comply with the requirements of Section 8.14, Section 8.18 and Section 9.13. Any such designation shall be treated as a cash dividend in an amount equal

Neither the Parent nor the Borrower will, nor will they permit any other Credit Party to, amend, modify, waive or otherwise change, consent or agree to any amendment, modification, waiver or other change to, any of the terms of the Permitted
Unsecured Notes if (a) the effect thereof would be to shorten the maturity of the Permitted Unsecured Notes to a date that is earlier than 180 days after the Maturity Date, or (b) such action adds or amends any representations and
warranties, covenants or events of default to be more restrictive or burdensome than this Agreement in each case as reasonably determined in good faith by the Parent and the Borrower without this Agreement being contemporaneously amended to add
similar provisions; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the execution of supplemental agreements to add guarantors if required by the terms thereof (provided that any such guarantor also guarantees the Obligations pursuant to a Guaranty
Agreement and each of Borrower and such guarantor otherwise complies with Section 8.14(b)); and provided further that nothing in this Section 9.19 shall prohibit the Borrower from extending,
refinancing, or renewing of the Permitted Unsecured Notes pursuant to Section 9.02(h).

proceeds of any Borrowing or Letter of Credit (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws,
(B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, to 

  
 94 

 
the extent such activities, business or transaction would be prohibited by Sanctions if conducted by a corporation incorporated in the United States or (C) in any manner that would result in
the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto. 
 Section 9.21 Environmental Matters. Neither the Parent nor the
Borrower will, and nor will they permit any other Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries to, undertake (or allow to be undertaken at any Property subject to its control) anything which will subject any such Property to any obligation
to conduct any investigation or remediation under any applicable Environmental Laws or regarding any Hazardous Material that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, it being understood that the foregoing will not be deemed to
limit (a) any obligation under applicable Environmental Law to disclose any relevant facts, conditions or circumstances to the appropriate Governmental Authority as and to the extent required by any such Environmental Law, (b) any
investigation or remediation required to be conducted under applicable Environmental Law, (c) any investigation reasonably requested by a prospective purchaser of any property, provided that such investigation is subject to conditions and
limitations (including indemnification and insurance obligations regarding the conduct of such investigation) that are reasonably protective of the Credit Parties, or (d) any investigation or remediation required pursuant to any lease
agreements with the owners of any Properties. 
 Section 9.22 Amendments to Organizational Documents. Neither the Parent nor the
Borrower will, and nor will they permit any other Credit Party to, amend, supplement or otherwise modify (or permit to be amended, supplemented or modified) its organizational documents in any respect that would reasonably be expected to be
materially adverse to the interests of the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Credit Lenders without the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). 

Section 9.23 Changes in Fiscal Periods. Neither the Parent nor the Borrower will, and nor will they permit any other Credit Party

 ARTICLE XI 

THE AGENTS 

Section 11.01 Appointment of Administrative Agent. Each Lender and the holder of each Note (if issued) irrevocably appoints and
authorizes Administrative Agent to act on behalf of such Lender or holder under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms
hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto, including without limitation the power to execute or authorize the execution of financing or similar statements or notices, and other documents. In performing its
functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Credit Party.

 Section 11.02 Deposit Account with Administrative Agent or any Lender. Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent and each
Lender, in Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s sole discretion, upon notice to Borrower to charge its general deposit account(s), if any, maintained with Administrative Agent or such Lender for the amount of any principal, interest, or
other amounts or costs due under this Agreement when the same become due and payable under the terms of this Agreement or the Notes. 

  
 98 

 Section 11.03 Scope of Administrative Agent’s Duties. Administrative Agent shall
have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, and shall not, by reason of this Agreement or by the arranging and other services provided by the Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Arrangers or
Joint Bookrunners or otherwise, have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender (and no implied covenants or other obligations shall be read into this Agreement against Administrative Agent). None of Administrative Agent, its Affiliates nor any of
their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under this Agreement or any document executed pursuant hereto, or in connection herewith or therewith
with the consent or at the request of the Required (or all of Lenders for those acts requiring consent of all of Lenders) (except for its or their own willful misconduct or gross negligence), nor be responsible for or have any duties to ascertain,
inquire into or verify (a) any recitals or warranties made by any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof, or any officer thereof contained herein or therein, (b) the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of this Agreement
or any document executed pursuant hereto or any security thereunder, (c) the performance by the Credit Parties of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, or (d) the satisfaction of any condition hereunder or thereunder,
including without limitation in connection with the making of any Loan or the issuance of any Letter of Credit. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice, document or other communication
(including any cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile transmission or oral communication) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been sent or given by or on behalf of a proper person. Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Note as
the holder thereof. Administrative Agent may employ agents and may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable to Lenders (except as to money or property received by them or
their authorized agents), for the negligence or misconduct of any such agent selected by it with reasonable care or for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or
experts. 
 Section 11.04 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least
thirty (30) days prior notice to Borrower and each of Lenders. If Administrative Agent at any time shall resign or if the office of Administrative Agent shall become vacant for any other reason, Majority Revolving Credit Lenders shall, by
written instrument, appoint successor agent(s) (“Successor Administrative Agent”) satisfactory to such Majority Revolving Credit Lenders and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to Borrower
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however that any such Successor Administrative Agent shall be a bank or a trust company or other financial institution which maintains an office in the United
States, or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, or any Affiliate of such bank or trust company or other financial institution which is engaged in the banking business, and shall have a combined
capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders may, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a Successor Administrative Agent. If no such Successor Administrative Agent shall have
been so appointed by the Required Revolving Credit Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Revolving Credit Lenders) (the “Removal Effective
Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. Such Successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon become Administrative Agent hereunder, as applicable, and
Administrative Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to any successor agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such Successor Administrative Agent may reasonably request. If a Successor Administrative Agent is not so appointed or
does not accept such appointment before the resigning or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal becomes effective, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent may appoint a temporary successor to act until such appointment by
the 

  
 99 

 
Majority Revolving Credit Lenders or Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, and, if applicable, Borrower, is made and accepted, or if no such temporary successor is appointed as
provided above by the resigning or removed Administrative Agent, the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders shall thereafter perform all of the duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent hereunder until such appointment by the Majority
Revolving Credit Lenders and, if applicable, Borrower, is made and accepted. Such Successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent as if originally named. The
resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such Successor Administrative Agent all moneys at the time held by the resigning or removed Administrative Agent hereunder after deducting therefrom its expenses
for which it is entitled to be reimbursed hereunder. Upon such succession of any such Successor Administrative Agent, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations, in its capacity as
Administrative Agent hereunder, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct arising prior to its resignation or removal hereunder, and the provisions of this Article XI shall continue in effect for the benefit of the resigning or
removed Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 

Section 11.05 Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of Administrative Agent and each other Lender
and based on the financial statements of Credit Parties and such other documents, information and investigations as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend credit hereunder from time to time. Each Lender also acknowledges
that it will, independently of Administrative Agent and each other Lender and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not
exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any other document executed pursuant hereto. 

Section 11.06 Authority of Administrative Agent to Enforce This Agreement. Each Lender, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, grants Administrative Agent full power and authority as attorney-in-fact to institute and maintain actions, suits or proceedings for the collection and
enforcement of any Obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and to file such proofs of debt or other documents as may be necessary to have the claims of Lenders allowed in any proceeding relative to the Credit Parties,
or their respective creditors or affecting their respective properties, and to take such other actions which Administrative Agent considers to be necessary or desirable for the protection, collection and enforcement of the Notes, this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 11.07 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Lenders agree (which agreement shall survive
the expiration or termination of this Agreement) to indemnify Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties, but without limiting any obligation of any Credit Party to make such reimbursement), ratably
according to their respective Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses
of house and outside counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated
hereby or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent and its Affiliates under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses resulting from Administrative Agent’s or its Affiliate’s gross 

  
 100 

 
negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent and its Affiliates promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of house and outside counsel) incurred by Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities
under, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent that Administrative Agent and its Affiliates are not reimbursed for such expenses by Borrower, but without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to make such
reimbursement. Each Lender agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent and its Affiliates promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amounts owing to Administrative Agent and its Affiliates by Lenders pursuant to this Section, provided
that, if Administrative Agent or its Affiliates are subsequently reimbursed by Borrower for such amounts, they shall refund to Lenders on a pro rata basis the amount of any excess reimbursement. If the indemnity furnished to Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates under this Section shall become impaired as determined in Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment or Administrative Agent shall elect in its sole discretion to have such indemnity confirmed by Lenders (as to specific
matters or otherwise), Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to each Lender and, until such additional indemnity is provided or such existing indemnity is confirmed, Administrative Agent may cease, or not commence, to take any action. Any
amounts paid by Lenders hereunder to Administrative Agent or its Affiliates shall be deemed to constitute part of the Obligations hereunder. 

Section 11.08 Knowledge of Default. It is expressly understood and agreed that Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume
that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the officers of Administrative Agent immediately responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have received a written notice from a Lender or a Credit Party
specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Upon receiving such a notice, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Default or Event of Default and provide each
Lender with a copy of such notice and shall endeavor to provide such notice to Lenders within three (3) Business Days (but without any liability whatsoever in the event of its failure to do so). Administrative Agent shall also furnish Lenders,
promptly upon receipt, with copies of all other notices or other information required to be provided by Borrower hereunder. 

Section 11.09 Administrative Agent’s Authorization; Action by Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
whenever Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered hereunder on behalf of Lenders to give any approval or consent, or to make any request, or to take any other action on behalf of Lenders (including without limitation the exercise of any
right or remedy hereunder or under the other Loan Documents), Administrative Agent shall be required to give such approval or consent, or to make such request or to take such other action only when so requested in writing by the Majority Revolving
Credit Lenders, any other specified applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable hereunder. Action that may be taken by the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders, any other specified Applicable Revolving Credit
Percentage of Lenders or all of Lenders, as the case may be (as provided for hereunder) may be taken (i) pursuant to a vote of the requisite percentages of Lenders as required hereunder at a meeting (which may be held by telephone conference
call), provided that Administrative Agent exercises good faith, diligent efforts to give all of Lenders reasonable advance notice of the meeting, or (ii) pursuant to the written consent of the requisite percentages of Lenders as required
hereunder, provided that all of Lenders are given reasonable advance notice of the requests for such consent. 

  
 101 

 Section 11.10 Enforcement Actions by Administrative Agent. Except as otherwise
expressly provided under this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and subject to the terms hereof, Administrative Agent will take such action, assert such rights and pursue such remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
as the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders, any other specified Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage or all of Lenders, as the case may be (as provided for hereunder), shall direct; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall
not be required to act or omit to act if, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, such action or omission may expose Administrative Agent to personal liability for which Administrative Agent has not been satisfactorily indemnified
hereunder or is contrary to this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or applicable law. Except as expressly provided above or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, no Lender (other than Administrative Agent, acting in its
capacity as agent) shall be entitled to take any enforcement action of any kind under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. 

Section 11.11 Collateral Matters. 

(a) Administrative Agent is authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from Lenders, from
time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Security Instruments which may be necessary to perfect and maintain a perfected security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan Documents. 

(b) Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, (1) to release or terminate any Lien granted to or
held by Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (a) upon termination of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount and payment in full of all Obligations payable under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document; (b) constituting Property
(including, without limitation, Equity Interests in any Person) sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction and including the Property of any
Credit Party that is disposed of as permitted hereby) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Property of a Credit Party that is redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with
Section 9.18(b)); (c) constituting property in which the Credit Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (d) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Revolving Credit
Lenders, or all Lenders, as the case may be, as provided in Section 12.02; (2) to subordinate the Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent on any Collateral to any other holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is
permitted by Section 9.03(c) and (d) hereof; and (3) if all of the Equity Interests held by the Credit Parties in any Person are sold or otherwise transferred to any transferee other than another Credit Party as part of or in
connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to release such Person from all of its obligations under the Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, under any Guaranty Agreement). Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section
11.11(b). 
 Section 11.12 Agents in their Individual Capacities. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its Affiliates, successors
and assigns shall each have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though such Lender were not Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent. JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A. and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial 

  
 102 

 
advisory or other business with the Credit Parties as if such Lender were not acting as Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent hereunder, and may accept fees and other
consideration therefor without having to account for the same to Lenders. 
 Section 11.13 Administrative Agent’s Fees.
Until the Obligations have been repaid and discharged in full and no commitment to extend any credit hereunder is outstanding, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, as applicable, any agency or other fee(s) set forth (or to be set forth from
time to time) in the applicable Fee Letter on the terms set forth therein. Subject to Section 12.12, the agency fees referred to in this Section 11.13 shall not be refundable under any
circumstances. 
 Section 11.14 Documentation Agent or other Titles. Any Lender identified on the facing page or signature page
of this Agreement or in any amendment hereto or as designated with consent of Administrative Agent in any assignment agreement as Lead Arranger, Documentation Agent, Syndications Agent, Bookrunner or any similar titles, shall not have any right,
power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement as a result of such title other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders so identified shall not have or be deemed to have any
fiduciary relationship with any Lender as a result of such title. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on Lender so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 

Section 11.15 No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. 

(a) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on
Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations
thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or
in connection with any Credit Party, any of their respective Affiliates or agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder: (i) any identify verification procedures, (ii) any record keeping, (iii) any comparisons with
government lists, (iv) any customer notices or (v) any other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to Administrative Agent the certification, or, if
applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (x) within 10 days after the Effective
Date, and (y) at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties
hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt. 

Section 12.02 Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course
of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, any other Agent,
the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Lender
or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor
any Security Instrument nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders or by the

  
 104 

 
Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall increase the Commitment or the Maximum Credit Amount
or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender without the written consent of such Revolving Credit Lender, increase the Borrowing Base without the written consent of each Revolving Credit Lender (other
than any Defaulting Lender), decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base without the consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, or modify Section 2.06 in any manner without the consent of the Required Revolving Credit
Lenders; provided that a Scheduled Redetermination may be postponed by the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees
payable hereunder, or reduce any other Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, postpone the scheduled date of payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan or
Reimbursement Obligation, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or any other Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone or extend the Termination
Date without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, change Section 5.01(b), Section 5.01(c) or any other term or condition hereof in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby,
without the written consent of each Lender, waive or amend Section 3.03(c), Section 6.01 or Section 10.02(c), without the written consent of each Lender, release any Guarantor (except as set forth in the
Guaranty Agreement or this Agreement or as a result of a transaction permitted under Section 9.11), release all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than as provided in Section 11.11), or
reduce the percentage set forth in Section 8.14(a) to less than 85%, without the written consent of each Lender, or impose any greater restriction on the ability of any Revolving Credit Lender to assign any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the written consent of, if such Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender, the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders, or change any of the provisions of this Section 12.02(b) or the definitions of “Applicable Revolving Credit
Percentage”, “Majority Revolving Credit Lenders”, “Required Revolving Credit Lenders”, “Super Majority Revolving Credit Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required
to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or any other Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no
such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, such other Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, fees payable hereunder to any Lender may be reduced with the consent of the
Administrative Agent and the affected Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any supplement to Schedule 8.14 shall be effective simply by delivering to the Administrative Agent a supplemental schedule clearly marked as such and, upon receipt,
the Administrative Agent will promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Lenders. 
 Section 12.03 Expenses, Indemnity; Damage
Waiver. 
 (a) The Borrower shall pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel
and other outside consultants for the Administrative Agent, the reasonable travel, photocopy, mailing, courier, telephone and other similar expenses, and the cost of environmental invasive and non-invasive
assessments and audits and surveys and appraisals, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration (both before and after the execution hereof and

 105

charges incurred by any Agent in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by this Agreement or any Security Instrument or any other document referred to therein, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment

charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including its rights under this
Section 12.03, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including, without limitation, all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 

(b) EACH OF THE PARENT AND THE BORROWER SHALL, AND SHALL CAUSE EACH OTHER CREDIT PARTY TO, INDEMNIFY EACH AGENT, THE ARRANGERS, THE ISSUING
BANK AND EACH LENDER, AND EACH RELATED PARTY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN “INDEMNITEE”) AGAINST, AND DEFEND AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES,
LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSES, INCLUDING THE REASONABLE FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY COUNSEL FOR ANY INDEMNITEE, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF THE EXECUTION OR
DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, THE PERFORMANCE BY THE PARTIES HERETO OR THE PARTIES TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR
THEREUNDER OR THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR BY ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, THE FAILURE OF ANY CREDIT PARTY TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT, OR WITH ANY GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENT, ANY
INACCURACY OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR ANY BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY OR COVENANT OF ANY CREDIT PARTY SET FORTH IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY INSTRUMENTS, DOCUMENTS OR CERTIFICATIONS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, ANY LOAN OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR
THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY REFUSAL BY THE ISSUING BANK TO HONOR A DEMAND FOR PAYMENT UNDER A LETTER OF CREDIT IF THE DOCUMENTS PRESENTED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DEMAND DO NOT STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THE TERMS
OF SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR THE PAYMENT OF A DRAWING UNDER ANY LETTER OF CREDIT NOTWITHSTANDING THE NON-COMPLIANCE, NON-DELIVERY OR OTHER IMPROPER PRESENTATION OF THE
DOCUMENTS PRESENTED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, ANY OTHER ASPECT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE OPERATIONS OF THE BUSINESS OF THE CREDIT PARTIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES BY THE CREDIT PARTIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES, ANY ASSERTION THAT
THE LENDERS WERE NOT ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THE PROCEEDS RECEIVED PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY INSTRUMENTS, ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW APPLICABLE TO THE CREDIT PARTIES, ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES OR ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES OR OPERATIONS, INCLUDING,
THE PRESENCE, GENERATION, STORAGE, RELEASE, THREATENED RELEASE, USE, TRANSPORT, DISPOSAL, ARRANGEMENT OF DISPOSAL OR TREATMENT OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR AT ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES, THE BREACH OR

 106 

 
OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES, THE PAST OWNERSHIP BY ANY CREDIT PARTY OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES OF ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES OR PAST ACTIVITY ON ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES
WHICH, THOUGH LAWFUL AND FULLY PERMISSIBLE AT THE TIME, COULD RESULT IN PRESENT LIABILITY, THE PRESENCE, USE, RELEASE, STORAGE, TREATMENT, DISPOSAL, GENERATION, THREATENED RELEASE, TRANSPORT, ARRANGEMENT FOR TRANSPORT OR ARRANGEMENT FOR DISPOSAL OF
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR AT ANY OF THE PROPERTIES OWNED OR OPERATED BY ANY CREDIT PARTY OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES OR ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED PRESENCE OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY ANY

TORTS OF ONE OR MORE OF THE INDEMNITEES OR BY REASON OF STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED WITHOUT FAULT ON ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE INDEMNITEES; PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES,
CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE. THIS SECTION 12.03(B) SHALL

applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted

CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, THE TRANSACTIONS, ANY LOAN OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF.

 Section 12.04 Successors and Assigns. 

(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 Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 12.04. 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 Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 12.04(b)) and,
to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 12.04(b)(ii), any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of: 

(A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required if such assignment is to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender that is actively engaged in the making of revolving loans, an Approved Fund or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and 

(B) the Administrative Agent (and in the case of an assignment any Lender’s Commitment or Revolving Credit Loans, the
Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such
assignment. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender 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 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing; 
 (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 of $3,500; 

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; 

  
 108 

 (E) no such assignment shall be made to a natural person, an Industry
Competitor, any Credit Party, any Affiliate of any Credit Party, or any of their respective Subsidiaries; and 
 (F) no such
assignment shall be made to a Defaulting Lender without the consent of the Administrative Agent, and in the case of an assignment of a Commitment, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender. 

(iii) Subject to Section 12.04(b)(v) and the acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent, 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 Section 5.01,
Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
Section 12.04 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 Section 12.04(b). 

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices 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 Maximum Credit Amount of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may
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,
the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In connection with any changes to the Register, if necessary, the Administrative Agent will reflect the revisions on Schedule 1.2 and
forward a copy of such revised Schedule 1.2 to the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and each Lender. 
 (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 Section 12.04(b)(ii)(C) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 12.04(b)(i), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.
No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 12.04(b). 

(vi) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more
banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 and no such participation may be sold to a natural Person or an Industry Competitor. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a 

  
 109 

 
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; 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 the proviso to
Section 12.02 that affects such Participant. In addition such agreement must provide that the Participant be bound by the provisions of Section 12.03. Subject to Section 12.04(b)(vii), the
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.01(c) as though it were a Lender. 
 (vii) A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or Section 5.03 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. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.03
unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 5.03(d) as though it were a Lender. 

(viii) 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 stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the
Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (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 Loan Document) to any Person 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. 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. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(c) Any Lender may 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, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, and this Section 12.04(c) 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. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 12.04, no transfer or assignment of the interests or
obligations of any Lender or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky”
laws of any state. 

  
 110 

 Section 12.05 Survival; Revival; Reinstatement. 

(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans
and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge
of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable
under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 5.01, Section 5.02,
Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 and Article XI shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the
Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 

(b) To the extent that any payments on the Obligations or proceeds of any Collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Obligations so satisfied shall be revived and continue
as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall continue in full force and
effect. In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and the Credit Parties shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to effect such reinstatement. 

Section 12.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute
an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. 
 (b) This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. 
 (c) Except as
provided in Section 6.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken
together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page of this Agreement by telecopy, facsimile, as an attachment to an email or other similar electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

  
 111 

 Section 12.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 12.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations
(of whatsoever kind, including, without limitations obligations under Swap Agreements) at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any of and all the obligations of any Credit Party
owed to such Lender now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be
unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 12.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or its Affiliates may have.

Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 12.11, “Information” means all information received from the Credit
Parties relating to the Credit Parties and their businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party;
provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality
of Information as provided in this Section 12.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as
such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 Section 12.12 Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of
the parties hereto that each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States
of America and the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the
Loan Documents or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Notes, it is agreed as follows: the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender that is contracted for, taken,
reserved, charged or received by such Lender under any of the Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Notes shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be
canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by
such Lender to the Borrower); and in the event that the maturity of the Notes is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or
permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or
otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal
amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent
permitted by law applicable to such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the stated term of the Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the
maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time the amount of interest payable to any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender pursuant to this
Section 12.12 and in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Lender computed at the Highest
Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender until the total
amount of interest payable to such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.12.

ARRANGER, ANY LENDER OR ANY ISSUING BANK HAS ANY OBLIGATION TO ANY OF THE PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE 

  
 115 

 
AFFILIATES WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE, EXCEPT THOSE OBLIGATIONS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN AND IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; (IV) THE PARENT, THE

 Section 12.14 Collateral Matters;
Swap Agreements; Cash Management. The benefit of the Security Instruments and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to any Collateral securing the Obligations shall also extend to and be available to Secured Swap Parties and to the Cash
Management Banks on a pro rata basis (but subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, provisions thereof relating to the application and priority of payments to the Persons entitled thereto) in respect of any
obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which arise under Secured Swap Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements. No Secured Swap Party shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document as a result of the existence of
obligations owed to it under any such Swap Agreements. No Cash Management Bank shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured Cash Management Agreements. 

Section 12.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the agreement of the Lenders to make
Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue, amend, renew or extend Letters of Credit hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Borrower, and no other Person (including, without limitation, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, any obligor, contractor,

 Section 12.16 USA Patriot Act Notice. Pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot
Act, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby notify the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that if they or any of their Subsidiaries open an account, including any loan, deposit account, treasury management account, or other extension of credit
with the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender will request the 

  
 116 

 
applicable Person’s name, tax identification number, business address and other information necessary to identify such Person (and may request such Person’s organizational documents or
other identifying documents) to the extent necessary for the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender to comply with the USA Patriot Act. 

Section 12.17 Keepwell. Each Credit Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the Guaranty or the grant of the security
interest under the Loan Documents, in each case, by any Specified Credit Party, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each
Specified Credit Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Credit Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under its Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in
each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering the such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 12.17 voidable under
applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations
have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other
agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Credit Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act. 
 Section 12.18

(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 Loan 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. 
 Section 12.19
Replacement of Administrative Agent. Pursuant to Section 12.04 of the Existing Credit Agreement, Predecessor Administrative Agent hereby resigns as administrative agent under the Existing Credit Agreement effective as of the date

  
 117 

 
hereof. Pursuant to Section 12.04 of the Existing Credit Agreement and Article XI hereunder, the Administrative Agent is hereby appointed as administrative agent under this Agreement
and hereby becomes the “Successor Administrative Agent” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and is vested with all the rights and duties of Predecessor Administrative Agent and Predecessor Administrative Agent is discharged from
its duties and obligations in its capacity as administrative agent under the Existing Credit Agreement. 
 Section 12.20 Assignment
of Liens and Other Rights. Predecessor Administrative Agent hereby grants, bargains, sells, assigns, transfers and conveys, to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent hereby assumes and accepts, all of Predecessor Administrative
Agent’s rights, titles, interests, liens, security interests, privileges, claims, demands and equities, in each case in its capacity as administrative agent under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other “Loan Documents” as defined
in the Existing Credit Agreement, existing and to be existing in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement and such other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), including, without limitation, all rights, liens
and security interests granted to it by the Credit Parties under such other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) to secure the “Obligations” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement;
provided that (a) Predecessor Administrative Agent expressly reserves all rights and benefits accruing to it in connection with any indemnity and reimbursement obligations owed by the Credit Parties under the Existing Credit Agreement or such
other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) upon the terms and conditions therein and (b) Administrative Agent does not assume, and shall not be obligated to pay, perform or discharge any claim, debt,
obligation, expense or liability of Predecessor Administrative Agent of any kind, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent, under the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) or otherwise, arising out of any
act or omission of Predecessor Administrative Agent occurring on or before the date hereof. 
 Section 12.21 Amendment and
Restatement. Parent, Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed that this Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, that the terms and provisions hereof supersede the terms and
provisions thereof, and that this Agreement is not a new or substitute credit agreement or novation of the Existing Credit Agreement. The Obligations of Parent, Borrower and the other Credit Parties evidenced under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents are given in renewal, extension and modification, but not in extinguishment, novation or discharge, of the “Obligations” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement. 

Section 12.22 Assignment and Assumption of Assigned Interests. Each of the Lenders (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement,
the “Existing Lenders”), the Lenders, the Predecessor Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent have agreed among themselves, in consultation with the Borrower, to effectuate an assignment and assumption with respect to the
Existing Lenders’ (a) rights and obligations in their capacity as Existing Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement and any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto to the extent related to all or any of such outstanding
rights and obligations of such Existing Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement (including any letters of credit and guarantees included in such facility) and (b) to the extent permitted to be assigned under applicable law, all claims,
suits, causes of action and any other right of the Existing Lender (in their capacity as an Existing Lender) against any Person, whether known or unknown, arising under or in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement, any other documents or
instruments delivered pursuant thereto or the loan transactions governed thereby or in any way based on or related to any of the foregoing, including contract claims, tort claims, malpractice claims, statutory claims and all

  
 118 

 
other claims at law or in equity related to the rights and obligations sold and assigned pursuant to clause (a) above (the rights and obligations sold and assigned pursuant to clauses
(a) and (b) above being referred to herein collectively as the “Assigned Interests”) in order to, among other things, remove UBS AG, Stamford Branch, Associated Bank, N.A., CIT Bank, N.A. and Texas Capital Bank, N.A. (each, an
“Exiting Lender”) as Existing Lenders and to reallocate the Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, the “Existing Commitments”) and the Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, the
“Existing Loans”) to the Lenders (including Bank of America, N.A., Compass Bank, Barclays Bank PLC, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, New York Branch, Capital One Bank, National Association, ING Capital
LLC, BMO Harris Bank, N.A., Fifth Third Bank, PNC Bank, National Association, The Toronto-Dominion Bank, New York Branch, KeyBank National Association, Branch Banking & Trust and Goldman Sachs Bank USA as Lenders (each, a “New
Lender”)). The parties hereto hereby consent to the Existing Lenders’ assignment of the Assigned Interests to the Lenders (including the New Lenders) and the assumption by the Lenders (including the New Lenders) of such Assigned
Interests and the reallocation of the Existing Commitments and the Existing Loans in accordance with this Section 12.22. On the Effective Date, after giving effect to the assignments and assumptions of the Assigned
Interests and the reallocation of the Existing Loans and the Existing Commitments pursuant to this Section 12.22, the Commitment of each Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 1.2. With respect to such Commitments,
each Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Assigned Interests allocated to it from the Existing Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Assignment and Assumption attached to the Existing Credit Agreement as Exhibit E as if each such Lender, each
Existing Lender, the Predecessor Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, had executed an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such allocation. In connection with the assignment and assumption of
Assigned Interests contemplated in this Section 12.22 and for the purposes of such assignment and assumption only, the parties hereto, as applicable, hereby agree to waive the processing and recordation fees required under
Section 13.04(b)(ii)(C) of the Existing Credit Agreement. Each Exiting Lender, on behalf of such party, shall execute and deliver an acknowledgment signature page to this Agreement to the Administrative Agent. 

Section 12.23 Flood Insurance. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, any Security Instrument or other Loan Document to
the contrary, (a) in no event is (i) any Excluded Asset (as defined in the Security Agreement) or (ii) any Building or Manufactured (Mobile) Home (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulations) included in the definition of
“Collateral” and (b) no Building or Manufactured (Mobile) Home (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulations) shall be subject to a Lien under any Security Instrument. As used herein, “Flood Insurance
Regulations” shall mean (i) the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, (ii) the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, (iii) the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (amending 42 USC 4001, et seq.), (iv) the Flood Insurance
Reform Act of 2004 and (v) the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012, in each case as now or hereafter in effect or any successor statute thereto and including any regulations promulgated thereunder.
