 EXHIBIT 4.1 

SIRI, INC. 

2008 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN 

ARTICLE ONE 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	 	I.	 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN 

This 2008 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan is intended to promote the interests of Siri, Inc., a Delaware corporation, by
providing eligible persons in the Corporation’s employ or service with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to continue in such employ
or service. 
 Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix.

  

	 	II.	 STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN 

A.        The Plan shall be divided into two (2) separate equity programs:

 (i)        the Option Grant Program
under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock, and 

(ii)       the Stock Issuance Program under which
eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares of Common Stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) or
pursuant to restricted stock units or other share right awards which vest upon the completion of designated service periods or the attainment of pre-established performance milestones. 

B.        The provisions of Articles One and Four shall apply to both equity
programs under the Plan and shall accordingly govern the interests of all persons under the Plan. 
  

	 	III.	 ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 

A.        The Plan shall be administered by the Board. However, any or all
administrative functions otherwise exercisable by the Board may be delegated to the Committee. Members of the Committee shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and shall be subject to removal by the Board at any time. The
Board may also at any time terminate the functions of the Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to the Committee. 

 B.        The Plan Administrator
shall have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for proper administration of the Plan and to make such determinations under, and issue such
interpretations of, the Plan and any outstanding options or stock issuances thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan or any
option grant or stock issuance thereunder. 
  

	 	IV.	 ELIGIBILITY 

A.        The persons eligible to participate in the Plan are as follows:

 (i)       Employees, 

(ii)      non-employee members of the Board or the
non-employee members of the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and 

(iii)     consultants and other independent advisors who
provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary). 

B.        The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to determine,
(i) with respect to the grants made under the Option Grant Program, which eligible persons are to receive such grants, the time or times when those grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such grant, the status of the
granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option, the time or times when each option is to become exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option shares and the maximum term for which the option is to remain
outstanding, and (ii) with respect to stock issuances or other stock-based awards under the Stock Issuance Program, which eligible persons are to receive such issuances or awards, the time or times when those issuances or awards are to be made,
the number of shares subject to each such issuance or award, the applicable vesting schedule and the cash consideration (if any) to be paid by the Participant for such shares. 

C.        The Plan Administrator shall have the absolute discretion either to
grant options in accordance with the Option Grant Program or to effect stock issuances in accordance with the Stock Issuance Program. 
  

	 	V.	 STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 

A.        The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but
unissued or reacquired Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued over the term of the Plan shall not exceed Seven million (7,000,000) shares. 

B.        Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options, restricted stock
units or share right awards shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) those options, units or awards expire, terminate or are cancelled for any reason prior to the issuance of the underlying shares of Common
Stock or (ii) such options are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of Article Two. Unvested shares issued 

 

 2 

 
under the Plan and subsequently repurchased by the Corporation, at a price per share not greater than the option exercise or direct issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation’s
repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added back to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be available for reissuance through one or more subsequent option grants or direct stock
issuances under the Plan. 
 C.        In the event of any of the
following transactions affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration: any stock split, stock dividend, spin-off transaction, extraordinary distribution (whether in cash, securities or other
property), recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other similar transaction affecting the outstanding Common Stock without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration or in the event of a substantial reduction to the
value of the outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of a spin-off transaction or extraordinary distribution, then equitable adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan,
(ii) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option and (iii) the number and/or class of securities subject to each outstanding restricted stock unit or other share right
award and the cash consideration (if any) payable per share. The adjustments shall be made by the Plan Administrator in such manner as the Plan Administrator deems appropriate in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder,
and those adjustments shall be final, binding and conclusive. In no event shall any such adjustments be made in connection with the conversion of one or more outstanding shares of the Corporation’s preferred stock into shares of Common Stock.

 ARTICLE TWO 

OPTION GRANT PROGRAM 
  

	 	I.	 OPTION TERMS 

Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided,
however, that each such document shall comply with the terms specified below. Each document evidencing an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the Plan applicable to such options. 

A.        Exercise Price. 

1.      The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator but shall
not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 

2.      The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and
shall, subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in cash or check made payable to the Corporation. Should the Common Stock be registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act at the
time the option is exercised, then the exercise price may also be paid as follows: 

(i)        in shares of Common Stock valued at
Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date and held for the period (if any) necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes, or 

(ii)      to the extent the option is exercised for vested
shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (A) to a brokerage firm (reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation for purposes of administering such
procedure in compliance with any applicable pre-clearance or pre-notification requirements) to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient
funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (B) to the Corporation to deliver the
certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm on the settlement date in order to complete the sale. 

Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased
shares must be made on the Exercise Date. 
  

 4 

 B.        Exercise and Term of
Options. Each option shall be exercisable at such time or times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option grant. However, no option
shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date. 

C.        Effect of Termination of Service. 

1.      The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options held by the
Optionee at the time of cessation of Service or death: 

(i)       Should the Optionee cease to remain in
Service for any reason other than death, Disability or Misconduct, then the Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months from the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise each outstanding option held by such Optionee.

 (ii)      Should Optionee’s Service
terminate by reason of Disability, then the Optionee shall have a period of twelve (12) months from the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise each outstanding option held by such Optionee. 

(iii)     If the Optionee dies while holding an outstanding
option, then the personal representative of his or her estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance or the Optionee’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries
of that option shall have a twelve (12)-month period from the date of the Optionee’s death to exercise such option. 

(iv)      Under no circumstances, however, shall any such
option be exercisable after the specified expiration of the option term. 

(v)       During the applicable post-Service exercise
period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of Vested Shares for which the option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee’s cessation of Service. No additional shares shall vest under the option
following the Optionee’s cessation of Service, except to the extent (if any) specifically authorized by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion pursuant to an express written agreement with Optionee. Upon the expiration of the applicable
exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding. 

(vi)      Should Optionee’s Service be terminated for
Misconduct or should Optionee otherwise engage in Misconduct while holding one or more outstanding options under the Plan, then all those options shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding. 

 

 5 

 2.        The Plan Administrator
shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to: 

(i)        extend the period of time for which
the option is to remain exercisable following Optionee’s cessation of Service or death from the limited period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of time as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event
beyond the expiration of the option term, and/or 

(ii)      permit the option to be exercised, during the
applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested shares of Common Stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more
additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested under the option had the Optionee continued in Service. 

D.        Stockholder Rights. The holder of an option shall have no
stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become the recordholder of the purchased shares. 

E.        Unvested Shares. The Plan Administrator shall have the
discretion to grant options which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common Stock. Should the Optionee cease Service while holding such unvested shares, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase any or all of those unvested shares at a
price per share equal to the lower of (i) the exercise price paid per share or (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Service. The terms upon which such repurchase right shall be
exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such repurchase right. 

F.        First Refusal Rights. Until such time as the Common Stock
is first registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the Optionee (or any successor in interest) of any shares of Common Stock issued under the
Plan. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such right. 

G.        Limited Transferability of Options. An Incentive Stock
Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee during his or her lifetime and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of inheritance following the Optionee’s death. A Non-Statutory Option may be assigned in
whole or in part during the Optionee’s lifetime to one or more of the Optionee’s Family Members or to a trust established exclusively for the Optionee and/or one or more such Family Members, to the extent such assignment is in connection
with the Optionee’s estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the Non-Statutory Option pursuant to the assignment. The terms
applicable to the assigned portion shall 
  

 6 

 
be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may also designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under the Plan, and those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be
transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death while holding those options. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement
evidencing each such transferred option, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the option may be exercised following the Optionee’s death. 

 

	 	II.	 INCENTIVE OPTIONS 

The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Options. Except as modified by the provisions of this
Section II, all the provisions of Articles One, Two and Four shall be applicable to Incentive Options. Options which are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Options shall not be subject to the terms of this Section II. 

A.        Eligibility. Incentive Options may only be granted to
Employees. 
 B.        Dollar Limitation. The aggregate
Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary)
may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one (1) calendar year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the extent the Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become
exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted, except to the extent
otherwise provided under applicable law or regulation. 

C.        10% Stockholder. If any Employee to whom an Incentive
Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the option term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the option grant date, and the exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market
Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 
  

	 	III.	 CHANGE IN CONTROL 

A.        The shares subject to each option outstanding under the Plan at the
time of a Change in Control shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to that
option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. However, the shares subject to an outstanding option shall not vest on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) such option is assumed
by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction and any repurchase rights of the 

 

 7 

 
Corporation with respect to the unvested option shares are concurrently assigned to such successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in effect or (ii) such option is to
be replaced with a cash retention program of the Corporation or any successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested option shares at the time of the Change in Control (the excess of the Fair Market Value of those shares
over the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares) and provides for subsequent payout of that spread in accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to those unvested option shares or (iii) the acceleration of such option is
subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant. 

B.        All outstanding repurchase rights shall also terminate automatically,
and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Change in Control, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent
thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase
right is issued. 
 C.        Immediately following the consummation of
the Change in Control, all outstanding options shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control
transaction. 
 D.        Each option which is assumed in connection
with a Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of
such Change in Control, had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Change in Control. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to (i) the number and class of securities available for issuance under the Plan following the
consummation of such Change in Control and (ii) the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the
Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption or continuation of the outstanding options under
this Plan, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control. 

E.        The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at
the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to structure one or more options so that those options shall automatically accelerate and vest in full (and any repurchase rights of the Corporation with respect to
the unvested shares subject to those options shall immediately terminate) upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, whether or not those options are to be assumed in the Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect. 

 

 8 

 F.        The Plan Administrator
shall also have full power and authority, exercisable either at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to structure such option so that the shares subject to that option will automatically vest on an
accelerated basis should the Optionee’s Service terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Change in Control in which the option is
assumed or otherwise continued in effect and the repurchase rights applicable to those shares do not otherwise terminate. Any option so accelerated shall remain exercisable for the fully-vested option shares until the expiration or sooner
termination of the option term. In addition, the Plan Administrator may provide that one or more of the Corporation’s outstanding repurchase rights with respect to shares held by the Optionee at the time of such Involuntary Termination shall
immediately terminate on an accelerated basis, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall accordingly vest at that time. 

G.        The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a
Change in Control shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated portion of such
option shall be exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option under the Federal tax laws. 

H.        The grant of options under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of
the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 

 

	 	IV.	 CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS 

The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the
affected option holders, the cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Plan and to grant in substitution therefor new options covering the same or different number of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price per share based
on the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the new option grant date.

 ARTICLE THREE 

STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM 
  

	 	I.	 STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS 

Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program through direct and immediate issuances without any
intervening option grants. Each such stock issuance shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance Agreement which complies with the terms specified below. Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to share right
awards or restricted stock units which entitle the recipients to receive the shares underlying those awards or units upon the attainment of designated performance goals or the satisfaction of specified Service requirements or upon the expiration of
a designated time period following the vesting of those awards or units. 

A.        Issue Price. 

1.        The issue price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator but
shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the issue date. 

2.        Subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four, shares of
Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for any of the following items of consideration which the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance: 

(i)        cash or check made payable to the
Corporation, 
 (ii)      past services rendered
to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary), or 

(iii)     any other valid consideration under the Delaware
General Corporation Law. 
 B.        Vesting Provisions.

 1.        Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance
Program may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be fully and immediately vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more installments over the Participant’s period of Service or upon attainment of specified performance objectives.
Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to share right awards or restricted stock units which entitle the recipients to receive the shares underlying those awards or units upon the attainment of designated
performance goals or the satisfaction of specified Service requirements or upon the expiration of a designated time period following the vesting of those awards or units, including (without limitation) a deferred distribution date following the
termination of the Participant’s Service. 
  

 10 

 2.        Any new, substituted or
additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which the Participant may have the right to receive with respect to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock
dividend, stock split, spin-off transaction, extraordinary distribution (whether in cash, securities or other property), recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other similar change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a
class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration shall be issued subject to (i) the same vesting requirements applicable to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock and (ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan
Administrator shall deem appropriate. 
 3.        The Participant
shall have full stockholder rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant under the Stock Issuance Program, whether or not the Participant’s interest in those shares is vested. Accordingly, the Participant shall
have the right to vote such shares and to receive any regular cash dividends paid on such shares. The Participant shall not have any stockholder rights with respect to the share of Common Stock subject to a restricted stock unit or share right award
until that award vests and the shares of Common Stock are actually issued thereunder. However, dividend-equivalent units may be paid or credited, either in cash or in actual or phantom shares of Common Stock, on outstanding restricted stock unit or
share right awards, subject to such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. 

4.        Should the Participant cease to remain in Service while holding one or
more unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be attained with respect to one or more such unvested shares of Common Stock, then those shares shall be immediately surrendered to
the Corporation for cancellation, and the Participant shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to those shares. To the extent the surrendered shares were previously issued to the Participant for consideration paid in cash or cash
equivalent (including the Participant’s purchase-money indebtedness), the Corporation shall repay to the Participant the lower of (i) the cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares or (ii) the Fair Market Value of those shares
at the time of Participant’s cessation of Service and shall cancel the unpaid principal balance of any outstanding purchase-money note of the Participant attributable to such surrendered shares by the applicable clause (i) or
(ii) amount. 
 5.        The Plan Administrator may in its
discretion waive the surrender and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Common Stock (or other assets attributable thereto) which would otherwise occur upon the non-completion of the vesting schedule applicable to those shares. Such waiver
shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant’s interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which the waiver applies. Such waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or after the Participant’s cessation of Service or
the attainment or non-attainment of the applicable performance objectives. 

6.        Outstanding share right awards or restricted stock units under the
Stock Issuance Program shall automatically terminate, and no shares of Common Stock shall actually be issued in satisfaction of those awards or units, if the performance goals or Service requirements established for such awards or units are not
attained or satisfied. The Plan 
  

 11 

 
Administrator, however, shall have the discretionary authority to issue vested shares of Common Stock under one or more outstanding share right awards or restricted stock units as to which the
designated performance goals or Service requirements have not been attained or satisfied. 

C.        First Refusal Rights.    Until such
time as the Common Stock is first registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the Participant (or any successor in interest) of any shares of
Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such right. 

 

	 	II.	 CHANGE IN CONTROL 

A.        Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, all outstanding repurchase
rights under the Stock Issuance Program shall terminate automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the
successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan
Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued. 

B.        Each restricted stock unit or share right award outstanding at the time
of a Change in Control shall be assumable by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or may otherwise be continued in effect pursuant to the terms of such Change in Control Transaction. Each restricted stock unit or share right award which is
so assumed or otherwise continued in effect shall be adjusted immediately after the consummation of that Change in Control so as to apply to the number and class of securities into which the shares of Common Stock subject to the award immediately
prior to the Change in Control would have been converted in consummation of such Change in Control had those shares actually been outstanding at that time. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the cash consideration (if any) price payable
per share under each outstanding restricted stock unit or share right award, provided the aggregate cash consideration payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common
Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption or continuation of the outstanding restricted stock units or share right awards,
substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control transaction. If any such restricted stock unit or share right award is not
so assumed or otherwise continued in effect, or if such unit or award is not replaced with a cash retention award which preserves the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock underlying that unit or award at the time of the Change in Control and
provides for subsequent payout of that dollar amount in accordance with the vesting schedule in effect for such unit or award at the time of the Change in Control, then such unit or award shall vest, and the shares of Common Stock subject to such
unit or award shall become issuable, immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control. 
  

 12 

 C.        The Plan Administrator
shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more unvested stock issuances or one or more restricted stock unit or other share right awards under the Stock Issuance Program so that the shares of Common Stock subject to those issuances
or awards shall automatically vest (or vest and become issuable) in whole or in part immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or upon the subsequent termination of the Participant’s Service by reason of an Involuntary Termination
within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of that Change in Control transaction. 
  

	 	III.	 SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS 

Unvested shares may, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, be held in escrow by the Corporation until the
Participant’s interest in such shares vests or may be issued directly to the Participant with restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested shares. 

 

 13 

 ARTICLE FOUR 

MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	 	I.	 FINANCING 

The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee or Participant to pay the option exercise price under the Option Grant
Program or the purchase price for shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program by delivering a full-recourse promissory note payable in one or more installments which bears interest at a market rate and is secured by the purchased shares. In no
event, however, may the maximum credit available to the Optionee or Participant exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise price or purchase price payable for the purchased shares plus (ii) any applicable income and employment tax
liability incurred by the Optionee or the Participant in connection with the option exercise or share purchase. 
  

	 	II.	 EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN 

A.        The Plan shall become effective when adopted by the Board, but no
option granted under the Plan may be exercised, and no shares shall be issued under the Plan, until the Plan is approved by the Corporation’s stockholders. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the
date of the Board’s adoption of the Plan, then all options previously granted under the Plan shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, and no further options shall be granted and no shares shall be issued under the Plan. Subject to such
limitation, the Plan Administrator may grant options and issue shares under the Plan at any time after the effective date of the Plan and before the date fixed herein for termination of the Plan. 

B.        The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the expiration
of the ten (10)-year period measured from the date the Plan is adopted by the Board, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been issued as vested shares or (iii) the termination of all
outstanding options in connection with a Change in Control. All options and unvested stock issuances outstanding at the time of a clause (i) termination event shall continue to have full force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the
documents evidencing those options or issuances. 
  

	 	III.	 AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN 

A.        The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to
amend or modify the Plan in any or all respects. However, no such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations with respect to options or unvested stock issuances at the time outstanding under the Plan unless the
Optionee or the Participant consents to such amendment or modification. In addition, certain amendments may require stockholder approval pursuant to applicable laws and regulations. 

 

 14 

 B.        Options may be granted
under the Option Grant Program and shares may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program which are in each instance in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock then available for issuance under the Plan, provided any excess shares actually
issued under those programs shall be held in escrow until there is obtained stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan. If such stockholder approval is not
obtained within twelve (12) months after the date the first such excess grants or issuances are made, then (i) any unexercised options granted on the basis of such excess shares shall terminate and cease to be outstanding and (ii) the
Corporation shall promptly refund to the Optionees and the Participants the exercise or purchase price paid for any excess shares issued under the Plan and held in escrow, together with interest (at the applicable Short Term Federal Rate) for the
period the shares were held in escrow, and such shares shall thereupon be automatically cancelled and cease to be outstanding. 
  

	 	IV.	 USE OF PROCEEDS 

Any cash proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be used for
general corporate purposes. 
  

	 	V.	 WITHHOLDING 

The Corporation’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any options granted under the
Plan or upon the issuance or vesting of any shares issued under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable income and employment tax withholding requirements. 

 

	 	VI.	 REGULATORY APPROVALS 

The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any options under the Plan and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock
(i) upon the exercise of any option or (ii) under the Stock Issuance Program shall be subject to the Corporation’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the
options granted under it and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to it. 
  

	 	VII.	 NO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE RIGHTS 

Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee or the Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of
specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining such person) or of the Optionee or the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by
each, to terminate such person’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.

to Service following such leave either by statute or by written contract. Except to the extent otherwise required by law or expressly authorized by the Plan Administrator or by the Corporation’s written policy on leaves of absence, no Service

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for
any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.15, each Borrowing shall be
comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan;
provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that
an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Aggregate Commitment or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.07(e). 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 (8) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or
continue, any Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date. 

Section 2.05. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Eurodollar Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m.,
one (1) Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.07(e) may be given not later than
10:00 a.m., on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or electronic mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request
in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.04: 

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; 

 

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 35 

 (iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to
be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and 

(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the
requirements of Section 2.08. 
 If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing
shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. Promptly following receipt
of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 

Section 2.06. Reserved. 

Section 2.07. Letters of Credit. 

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for
its own or the account of any Restricted Subsidiary in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain
Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for
doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or
identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with
paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the
Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and
upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed
$100,000,000 and (ii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment. 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 36 

 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five
(5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. 
 (d) Participations. 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 Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely
and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each 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 or reduction or
termination of the Aggregate Commitment, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall
reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement
prior to 10:00 a.m. on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice;
provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed,
the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC
Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of
the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.08 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.08 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and
the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative
Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment
made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 37 

 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and
irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or
invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff
against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or
transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or
delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes
beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect
of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a
Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the
Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be
in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to
represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will
make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 38 

 (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date
that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then
Section 2.14(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to
reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) Replacement of the
Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such
replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.13(b). From and after the effective date
of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term
“Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced
Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue
additional Letters of Credit. 
 (j) Cash Collateralization. 

(i) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower
receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent
(66 2/3%) of the total LC Exposure) demanding
the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in the Cash Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to the total LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that
the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the
Borrower described in clauses (h) or (i) of Article IX. 
 (ii) All cash collateral provided by
Borrower or any other Credit Party pursuant to the request of the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.21(c) shall be deposited in the Cash Collateral Account. 

(iii) Deposits in the Cash Collateral Account made pursuant to either the foregoing paragraph (i) of this
Section 2.07(j) or Section 2.21(c) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations 

 

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 39 

 
under this Agreement and Borrower hereby grants a security interest in such cash and each deposit account into which such cash is deposited to secure the Obligations under this Agreement. The
Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Cash Collateral Account. Other than interest at the rate per annum in effect for accounts of the same type maintained with the
Administrative Agent at such time and any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be of the type described in clause (b) of the definition of Permitted Investments and shall be made by the Administrative
Agent in consultation with the Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case, such investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent) and at the Borrower’s risk
and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank
for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has
been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing sixty-six and two-thirds percent
(66 2/3%) or more of the total LC Exposure), be
applied to satisfy other Obligations under this Agreement. 
 (v) If the Borrower is required to provide
cash collateral pursuant to either paragraph (i) of this Section 2.07(j) or Section 2.21(c), the amount of such cash collateral (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business
Days after (x) in the case of cash collateral provided pursuant to paragraph (i) above, all Events of Default have been cured or waived and (y) in the case of cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 2.21(c), the date on
which such cash collateral is no longer required pursuant to Section 2.21(c). 
 Section 2.08. Funding of
Borrowings. 
 (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer
of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly
crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in
Section 2.07(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made
its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such

  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 40 

 
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the
Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 

Section 2.09. Interest Elections. 

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request; provided that all Borrowings on the Effective Date shall be ABR Borrowings. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different
Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected
Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the
time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.05 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election
Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or electronic mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with
Section 2.04: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options
are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for
each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 41 

 If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify
an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. 

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof
and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest
Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar 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 Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default
is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto. 
 Section 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) Borrower and each surety, endorser, guarantor and other party ever
liable for payment of any sums of money payable under this Agreement, jointly and severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, protest, notice of protest and nonpayment, as to the payments due
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and as to each and all installments hereunder and thereunder, and agree that their liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not be affected by any renewal or extension in the
time of payment hereof, or in any indulgences, or by any release or change in any security for the payment of the Obligations, and hereby consent to any and all such renewals, extensions, indulgences, releases or changes. 

(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower
to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type
thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (e) The entries made in
the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations 

 

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 42 

 
recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the
Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (f) Any Lender or Participant may request that
Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender or Participant a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender or Participant (or, if requested by such Lender or
Participant, to such Lender or Participant and its registered assigns) and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant
to Section 11.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 

Section 2.11. Optional Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole and or in part, subject to prior
notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that any prepayment made at any time a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists shall be applied ratably to the prepayment of Borrowings to the extent required to eliminate such
Borrowing Base Deficiency. 
 (b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or
electronic mail) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR
Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid;
provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitment as contemplated by Section 2.02, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such
notice of termination or reduction is revoked in accordance with Section 2.02. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial
prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.04. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in
the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.14. 

Section 2.12. Mandatory Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.12(b), in the event a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, the Borrower shall either
(a) within fifteen (15) days after written notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, by instruments satisfactory in form and substance to the Lenders, provide the Lenders with additional
security consisting of Oil and Gas Interests with value and quality satisfactory to the Lenders in their sole discretion to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency, or prepay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required
by Section 2.17 but without premium or penalty, 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 43 

 
the principal amount of the Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency (or by a combination of such additional security and such prepayment eliminate such Borrowing
Base Deficiency), or (b) within fifteen (15) days after written notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, elect to prepay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required
by Section 2.17 but without premium or penalty, the principal amount of such Borrowing Base Deficiency in not more than six (6) equal monthly installments plus accrued interest thereon with the first such monthly payment being due upon the
thirtieth (30th) day after the Borrower’s
receipt of notice of such Borrowing Base Deficiency. 
 (b) If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary sells, transfers or
otherwise disposes of any Borrowing Base Properties at any time (whether pursuant to a sale, transfer, or other disposition of Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary permitted pursuant to Section 7.03 or otherwise), the Borrower shall
prepay the Borrowings to the extent necessary to eliminate any Borrowing Base Deficiency that may exist or that may have occurred as a result of such sale, transfer or other disposition within one (1) Business Day of the date it or any
Restricted Subsidiary receives the Net Cash Proceeds from such sale, transfer or other disposition and any Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the amount necessary to eliminate any such Borrowing Base Deficiency shall be used within three hundred sixty
(360) days after such disposition to (i) acquire property, plant and equipment or any business entity used or useful in carrying on the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and having a fair market value at least equal
to the fair market value of the properties sold or otherwise disposed of or to improve or replace any existing property of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries used or useful in carrying on the business of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries or (ii) prepay the Loans in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default exists in which event any amounts prepaid shall be applied to the Loans at the discretion of the Administrative Agent).

 (c) In the event a Borrowing Base Deficiency occurs as a result of the consummation of the Marcellus Joint Venture and the
reduction in the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 3.05, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans with the Net Cash Proceeds received as a result of the consummation of the Marcellus Joint Venture on the Business Day on which it receives such Net
Cash Proceeds to the extent necessary to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency. 
 (d) In the event that the Aggregate Credit
Exposure exceeds (i) the Maximum Facility Amount or (ii) the Aggregate Commitment at any time other than, with respect to this clause (ii), as a result of the occurrence of a Borrowing Base Deficiency, the Borrower shall immediately
prepay, without penalty or premium but otherwise subject to any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 2.17, the principal amount of the Loans to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. 

(e) Amounts applied to the prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to this Section shall be first applied ratably to ABR Borrowings then
outstanding and, upon payment in full of all outstanding ABR Borrowings, second, to Eurodollar Borrowings then outstanding, and if more than one Eurodollar Borrowing is then outstanding, to each such Eurodollar Borrowing beginning with the
Eurodollar Borrowing with the least number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto and ending with the Eurodollar Borrowing with the most number of 

 

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 44 

 
days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto. Any prepayments pursuant to this Section shall be without penalty or premium but otherwise accompanied by accrued interest to the extent
required by Section 2.14 and any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 2.17. Amounts applied to the payment of Borrowings pursuant to this Section may be reborrowed subject to and in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. 
 Section 2.13. Fees. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, an unused commitment fee (the “Unused
Commitment Fee”) equivalent to the Applicable Rate times the daily average of the Aggregate Unused Commitments. Such Unused Commitment Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days. The Unused Commitment Fee shall be
payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the Maturity Date for any period then ending for which the Unused Commitment Fee
shall not have been theretofore paid. In the event the Aggregate Commitment terminates on any date other than the last day of March, June, September or December of any year, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
each Lender, on the date of such termination, the total Unused Commitment Fee due for the period from the last day of the immediately preceding March, June, September or December, as the case may be, to the date such termination occurs. 

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to
its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC
Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate equal to 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements)
during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Aggregate Commitment and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with
respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each
year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Aggregate Commitment
terminates and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Aggregate Commitment terminates shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after
demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

 

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 45 

 (c) Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and J.P. Morgan, for their respective
accounts, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter payable to the Administrative Agent and J.P. Morgan and such other fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and J.P. Morgan.

 (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent
(or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Unused Commitment Fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Subject to Section 11.13, fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

 Section 2.14. Interest. 

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for
such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or
any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to
(i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, two percent (2%) plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, two percent
(2%) plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. 
 (d) Accrued interest on
each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Aggregate Commitment and on the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period at a time when no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists), accrued
interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued
interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap
year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent,
and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 46 

 Section 2.15. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as
promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of
any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 

Section 2.16. Increased Costs. 

(a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement 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; or 

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement
or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of
any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in,
issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or
participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing 

 

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 47 

 
Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth (i) the amount or amounts reasonably necessary to compensate such
Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, (ii) the factual basis for such compensation and (iii) the manner in which such amount or amounts were
calculated shall be delivered to the Borrower. Such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to
this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

Section 2.17. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than
on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to
borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (d) the
assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the
loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current
Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such
period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth
any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower within one hundred eighty (180) days after such Lender incurs such loss, cost or expense and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 48 

 Section 2.18. Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) 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, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 (c) 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) 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 delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on
behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, setting forth (i) the amount of such payment or liability reasonably necessary to compensate the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, (ii) the factual basis for
such compensation and (iii) the manner in which such amount or amounts were calculated, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower 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) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate. 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 49 

 (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower
(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such
Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it
deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
 Section 2.19. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment;
Sharing of Set-offs. 
 (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder
(whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.16, Section 2.17 or Section 2.18, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest
thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Mail Code IL1-0010, 10 South Dearborn,
7th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60603-2003, except payments
to be made directly to the Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 2.16, Section 2.17, Section 2.18 and Section 11.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The
Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day,
the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of
principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest, fees and other Obligations then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) 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 (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties; provided that in the event such funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent as a result of the exercise of any rights and remedies with
respect to any collateral under the Security Instruments, the parties entitled to a ratable share of such funds pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) and the determination of each 

 

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 50 

 
parties’ ratable share shall include, on a pari passu basis, (x) the Lender Counterparties with respect to Lender Hedging Obligations then due and owing to each Lender
Counterparty by any Credit Party as a result of the early termination of any transactions under any Swap Agreements (after giving effect to any netting agreements) and (y) any Lender or any of its Affiliates with respect to Cash Management
Obligations then due and owing to such Lender or any of its Affiliates by any Credit Party. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by
exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise (including any right of set-off exercised with respect to a Swap Agreement), obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC
Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements 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 LC Disbursements 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 LC Disbursements; provided that (i) 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 (ii) the provisions of this paragraph 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 LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph 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. 
 (d) Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment,
the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such
event, if the Borrower have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or
Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail
to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(d), Section 2.07(e), Section 2.08(b), Section 2.19(d) or Section 11.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 51 

 
(i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank to satisfy such
Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such
Lender under such Sections, in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 

Section 2.20. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, 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 2.18, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending 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 (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or
Section 2.18, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) 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. 
 (b) If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.16, 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 2.18, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and
effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.04), 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 if a Commitment is being assigned, 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, participations in LC Disbursements, 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 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, 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. 
 (c) If (i) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification,
termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires approval of all of the Lenders under Section 11.02, the consent of Super-Majority Lenders shall have been obtained
but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required has not been obtained or (ii) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender; then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, elect to replace such Non-
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 52 

 
Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, as a Lender party to this Agreement in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by
Section 11.04; provided that (x) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and
(y) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, 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). A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a
consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply or, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. 

Section 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) the fees
described in Section 2.13(a) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; 

(b) the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, Super-Majority
Lenders, Required Lenders, or the Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 11.02), provided that (i) any waiver, consent, amendment or
modification requiring the consent of all Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender (except in respect of any increases in the Borrowing Base or the Maximum Facility Amount), (ii) any waiver, consent, amendment or modification
requiring the consent of each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, and (iii) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be
increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 
 (c) if any LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i) all or any part of such LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the
non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total
of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 are satisfied at such time; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower
shall, within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with
the procedures set forth in Section 2.07(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 53 

 (iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.21(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the
period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 
 (iv) if the LC Exposure of the
non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.21(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13(a) and Section 2.13(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’
Applicable Percentages; and 
 (v) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor
reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.13(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; 
 (d) so long
as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting
Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(c); and 
 (e) the Borrower
shall have the right, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set-off any amounts owed to it or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries by any Defaulting Lender in respect of deposit account liabilities against amounts due by the Borrower to such
Defaulting Lender under this Agreement; provided that the amount of such set-off shall not exceed the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Credit Exposure and any accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto. 

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately
remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the
Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 

Article III 

Borrowing Base 

Section 3.01. Reserve Report; Proposed Borrowing Base. During the period from the Effective Date until the first
Redetermination after the Effective Date, the Borrowing Base shall be $1,300,000,000 (the “Initial Borrowing Base”). As soon as available and in any event by March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning
September 1, 2010, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a Reserve Report, prepared as of the immediately 

 

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 54 

 
preceding December 31 and June 30, respectively, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and prepared by an Approved Petroleum Engineer (or, in the
case of the Reserve Report due on September 1 of each year, by either an Approved Petroleum Engineer or petroleum engineers employed by the Borrower), said Reserve Report to utilize economic and pricing parameters established from time to time
by the Administrative Agent, together with such other information, reports and data concerning the value of the Borrowing Base Properties as the Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary to determine the value of such Borrowing Base
Properties. Simultaneously with the delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of each Reserve Report, the Borrower shall submit to the Administrative Agent and each Lender the Borrower’s requested amount of the Borrowing Base as of
the next Redetermination Date. Promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such Reserve Report and Borrower’s requested amount for the Borrowing Base, the Administrative Agent shall submit to the Lenders a recommended amount of
the Borrowing Base to become effective for the period commencing on the next Redetermination Date. 

Section 3.02. Scheduled Redeterminations of the Borrowing Base; Procedures and Standards. Based in part
on the Reserve Reports made available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.01, the Lenders shall redetermine the Borrowing Base on or prior to the next Redetermination Date (or such date promptly thereafter as
reasonably possible based on the engineering and other information available to the Lenders). Any Borrowing Base which becomes effective as a result of any Redetermination shall be subject to the following restrictions: (a) such Borrowing Base
shall not exceed the Maximum Facility Amount, (b) to the extent such Borrowing Base represents an increase in the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such Redetermination, such Borrowing Base must be approved by all Lenders, and (c) to the
extent such Borrowing Base represents a decrease in the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such Redetermination or a reaffirmation of such prior Borrowing Base, such Borrowing Base must be approved by the Administrative Agent and Required Lenders. If
a redetermined Borrowing Base is not approved by the Administrative Agent and Required Lenders within twenty (20) days after the submission to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent of its recommended Borrowing Base pursuant to
Section 3.01, or by all Lenders within such twenty (20) day period in the case of any increase in the Borrowing Base, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender that the recommended Borrowing Base, as the case may be, has not been
approved and request that each Lender submit to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days thereafter its proposed Borrowing Base. Promptly following the tenth
(10th) day after the Administrative Agent’s
request for each Lender’s proposed Borrowing Base, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Borrowing Base for such Redetermination by calculating the highest Borrowing Base then acceptable to the Administrative Agent and a number of
Lenders sufficient to constitute Required Lenders (or all Lenders in the case of an increase in the Borrowing Base). Each Redetermination shall be made by the Lenders in their sole discretion, but based on the Administrative Agent’s and such
Lender’s usual and customary procedures for evaluating Oil and Gas Interests as such exist at the time of such Redetermination, and including adjustments to reflect the effect of any Swap Agreements of the Borrower and the Restricted
Subsidiaries as such exist at the time of such Redetermination. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Redetermination shall be based upon the loan collateral value which the Administrative Agent and each Lender in its sole discretion (using
such methodology, assumptions and discount rates as the Administrative Agent and such Lender customarily uses in assigning collateral value to Oil and Gas Interests) assigns to the Borrowing Base Properties at the time in question and

  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 55 

 
based upon such other credit factors consistently applied (including, without limitation, the assets, liabilities, cash flow, business, properties, prospects, management and ownership of the
Credit Parties) as the Administrative Agent and such Lender customarily considers in evaluating similar oil and gas credits. It is expressly understood that the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to designate the Borrowing
Base at any particular amounts, except in the exercise of their discretion, whether in relation to the Maximum Facility Amount or otherwise. If the Borrower does not furnish all information, reports and data required to be delivered by any date
specified in this Article III, unless such failure is not the fault of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders may nonetheless designate the Borrowing Base at any amounts which the Administrative Agent and all Lenders or Required Lenders,
as the case may be, in their reasonable discretion determine and may redesignate the Borrowing Base from time to time thereafter until the Administrative Agent and the Lenders receive all such information, reports and data, whereupon the
Administrative Agent and all Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall designate a new Borrowing Base, as described above. 

Section 3.03. Special Redeterminations. In addition to Scheduled Redeterminations, the Borrower shall be permitted to request
a Special Redetermination of the Borrowing Base once between each Scheduled Redetermination and the Required Lenders shall be permitted to request a Special Redetermination at any time. Any request by Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.03
shall be submitted to the Administrative Agent and each Lender and at the time of such request (or within twenty (20) days thereafter in the case of the Reserve Report) Borrower shall (1) deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender
a Reserve Report prepared as of a date prior to the date of such request that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such other information which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, and (2) notify the
Administrative Agent and each Lender of the Borrowing Base requested by Borrower in connection with such Special Redetermination. Any request by Required Lenders for a Special Redetermination pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be submitted to
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Any Special Redetermination shall be made by the Administrative Agent and Lenders in accordance with the procedures and standards set forth in Section 3.02; provided that no Reserve Report is
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with any Special Redetermination requested by the Required Lenders pursuant to this Section 3.03. 

Section 3.04. Notice of Redetermination. Promptly following any Redetermination of the Borrowing Base, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower of the amount of the redetermined Borrowing Base, which Borrowing Base shall be effective as of the date specified in such notice, and such Borrowing Base shall remain in effect for all purposes of this Agreement
until the next Redetermination. 
 Section 3.05. Mandatory Borrowing Base Reduction. Upon the consummation of the
Marcellus Joint Venture in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Borrowing Base then in effect shall be reduced by $100,000,000 and shall remain at such amount until the earlier of (i) the next Redetermination of the Borrowing Base
and (ii) the date such Borrowing Base is otherwise reduced pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 Article IV 

Representations and Warranties 

Each Credit Party represents and warrants to the Lenders that (it being understood and agreed that with respect to the Effective Date
such representations and warranties are deemed to be made concurrently with and after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions): 

Section 4.01. Organization; Powers. Each Credit Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required. 

Section 4.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each Credit Party’s corporate, limited
liability company or partnership powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party
and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Credit Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally
and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

Section 4.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of,
registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and, after the Effective Date, the filing of this Agreement and related Loan Documents by the
Borrower with, and other required disclosures required by, the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the
charter, by-laws or other Organizational Documents of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument
evidencing Material Indebtedness or a Material Sales Contract binding upon the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary not otherwise permitted under Section 7.02. 

Section 4.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. 

(a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders the consolidated balance sheet and related statements of income and cash flows
of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries (i) as of and for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, reported on by KPMG LLP, independent public accountants, and December 31, 2009, reported on by KPMG LLP, independent
public accountants and (ii) as of and for the calendar months and portion of the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, setting forth in comparative form the figures for the 

 

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 57 

 
corresponding period of (or, in the case of the balance sheet, as of the end of) the previous fiscal year, all certified by a Responsible Officer. Such financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the
absences of footnotes, in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii). 
 (b) Since December 31, 2009, there
has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (it being understood that changes in commodity prices for
Hydrocarbons affecting the oil and gas industry as a whole do not constitute a material adverse change). 
 Section 4.05.
Properties. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.15 with respect to proved reserves included in the Oil
and Gas Interests of the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all such real and personal property material to its business, except for minor defects
in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes. 

(b) The Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other
intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and such Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, 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. 
 Section 4.06. Litigation
and Environmental Matters. 
 (a) There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if
adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions. 

(b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary to the Borrower’s knowledge (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any
permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any
basis for any Environmental Liability. 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 58 

 (c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the
Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 4.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. The Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary is in compliance with all
laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing. 

Section 4.08. Investment Company Status. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary is an “investment
company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 Section 4.09.
Taxes. The Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except
(a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do
so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 4.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event
has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of
all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of FASB Statement 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $5,000,000 the
fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of FASB Statement 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent
financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $5,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans. 

Section 4.11. Disclosure. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other
restrictions to which it or any Restricted Subsidiary is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the other reports, financial
statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified
or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided that, with respect to the Projections, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. 

 

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 59 

 Section 4.12. Labor Matters. There are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against
the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Borrower and
its Restricted Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other Law dealing with such matters to the extent that such violation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 4.13. Capitalization and Credit Party Information. Schedule 4.13 lists, as of the Effective Date (a) each
Subsidiary that is an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (b) for the Borrower, its full legal name, its jurisdiction of organization and its federal tax identification number, and (c) for each Restricted Subsidiary its full legal name, its
jurisdiction of organization, its federal tax identification number, the number of shares of capital stock or other Equity Interests outstanding and the owner(s) of such Equity Interests. 

Section 4.14. Margin Stock. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary is engaged principally, or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board), and no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any
margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. 
 Section 4.15. Oil
and Gas Interests. Each Credit Party has good and defensible title to all proved reserves included in the Oil and Gas Interests (for purposes of this Section 4.15, “proved Oil and Gas Interests”) described in the most recent
Reserve Report provided to the Administrative Agent, free and clear of all Liens except Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.02. All such proved Oil and Gas Interests are valid, subsisting, and in full force and effect, and all rentals,
royalties, and other amounts due and payable in respect thereof have been duly paid. Without regard to any consent or non-consent provisions of any joint operating agreement covering any Credit Party’s proved Oil and Gas Interests, such Credit
Party’s share of (a) the costs for each proved Oil and Gas Interest described in the Reserve Report is not materially greater than the decimal fraction set forth in the Reserve Report, before and after payout, as the case may be, and
described therein by the respective designations “working interests,” “WI,” “gross working interest,” “GWI,” or similar terms (except in such cases where there is a corresponding increase in the net revenue
interest), and (b) production from, allocated to, or attributed to each such proved Oil and Gas Interest is not materially less than the decimal fraction set forth in the Reserve Report, before and after payout, as the case may be, and
described therein by the designations “net revenue interest,” “NRI,” or similar terms. Each well drilled in respect of proved producing Oil and Gas Interests described in the Reserve Report (1) is capable of, and is
presently, either producing Hydrocarbons in commercially profitable quantities or in the process of being worked over or enhanced, and the Credit Party that owns such proved producing Oil and Gas Interests is currently receiving payments for its
share of production, with no funds in respect of any thereof being presently held in suspense, other than any such funds being held in suspense pending delivery of appropriate division orders, and (2) has been drilled, bottomed, completed, and
operated in compliance with all applicable laws, in the case of clauses (1) and (2), except where any failure to satisfy clause (1) or to comply with clause (2) would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and no such well which is
currently producing Hydrocarbons is subject to any penalty in production by reason of such well having produced in excess of its allowable production. 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 60 

 Section 4.16. Insurance. The certificate signed by the Responsible Officer that
attests to the existence and adequacy of, and summarizes, the property and casualty insurance program maintained by the Credit Parties that has been furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as of the Effective Date, is
complete and accurate in all material respects as of the Effective Date and demonstrates the Borrower’s and the Restricted Subsidiaries’ compliance with Section 6.05. 

Section 4.17. Solvency. 

(a) Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions and immediately following the making of the initial Borrowing made on the
Effective Date and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds thereof, (1) the fair value of the assets of the Credit Parties on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, subordinated,
contingent or otherwise, of the Credit Parties on a consolidated basis; (2) the present fair saleable value of the real and personal property of the Credit Parties on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to
pay the probable liability of the Credit Parties on a consolidated basis on their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (3) the Credit Parties on a
consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (4) the Credit Parties on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably
small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted after the date hereof. 

(b) The Credit Parties do not intend to, and do not believe that they will, incur debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as they
mature, taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be received by it and the timing of the amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness. 

Section 4.18. Deposit Accounts. Except for the BG Escrow Account, the BG Operating Account and other deposit and investment
accounts maintained at financial institutions other than the Administrative Agent or any Lender the aggregate balance of which does not exceed $250,000 at any time for all such other deposit and investment accounts taken as a whole, no Credit Party
maintains any deposit or investment account into which either (a) proceeds of Hydrocarbon production from the Oil and Gas Interests included in the Borrowing Base Properties are deposited or (b) distributions and dividends on Equity
Interests owned by any Credit Party are paid and deposited, in each case, other than (x) deposit or investment accounts maintained with the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or (y) deposit or investment accounts maintained with any
other financial institutions acceptable to the Administrative Agent with respect to which a control agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, has been executed and delivered.

not, nor will it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into or maintain any Swap Agreement, except the Existing Swap Agreements, and Swap Agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business with Approved Counterparties and not
for speculative purposes to: 
 (a) hedge or mitigate Crude Oil and Natural Gas price risks to which the Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary has actual exposure; provided that at the time the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary enters into any such Swap Agreement, such Swap Agreement (i) does not have a term greater than sixty (60) months from the
date such Swap Agreement is entered into, and (ii) when aggregated with all other Swap Agreements then in effect (including the Existing Swap Agreements) would not cause the aggregate notional volume per month for each of Crude Oil and Natural
Gas, calculated separately, under all Swap Agreements then in effect (other than Excluded Hedges) to exceed, as of the date such Swap Agreement is executed, (x) one hundred percent (100%) of the “forecasted production from total
proved reserves” (as defined below) of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries for any month during the first two years of the forthcoming five year period, (y) ninety percent (90%) of the “forecasted production from total
proved reserves” of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries for any month during the third year of the forthcoming five year period, and (z) eighty-five percent (85%) of the “forecasted production from total proved

otherwise) with respect to any interest-bearing liability or investment of any Credit Party. 
 As used in this Section,
“forecasted production from total proved reserves” means the forecasted production of Crude Oil and Natural Gas as reflected in the most recent Reserve Report delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.01, after
giving effect to any pro forma adjustments for the consummation of any acquisitions or dispositions since the effective date of such Reserve Report. 

In the event any Credit Party enters into a Swap Agreement (including the Existing Swap Agreements), the terms and conditions of such
Swap Agreement may not be amended or modified, nor may any Credit Party sell, assign, monetize, transfer, cancel or otherwise dispose of any of its rights and interests in any such Swap Agreement without the prior written consent of the Majority
Lenders (it being understood that any Lender Counterparty may sell, assign, transfer, novate, or otherwise dispose of its rights and interests in any Swap Agreement to any Approved Counterparty at any time); provided that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Credit 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 80 

 
Party may enter into a Swap Modification so long as (i) within three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Borrower provides written notice to the Administrative Agent of the terms of such
Swap Modification, setting forth in reasonable detail, (x) the effect of such Swap Modification on the aggregate notional volume of Crude Oil and Natural Gas subject to the Credit Parties’ Swap Agreements and (y) the amount of Net
Cash Proceeds received by such Credit Party as a result of such Swap Modification, (ii) the aggregate notional volume of Crude Oil and Natural Gas affected by such Swap Modification, together with all other Swap Modifications consummated since
the most recent Redetermination Date, does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate notional volume of Crude Oil and Natural Gas subject to the Credit Parties’ Swap Agreements in effect as of the most recent Redetermination Date, and
(iii) the Borrower applies the Net Cash Proceeds received by any Credit Party as a result of such Swap Modification to prepay the Loans. 

Each Credit Party and each Lender agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Existing Swap Agreements are Swap Agreements permitted under
this Section 7.05, (ii) as of the Effective Date, the counterparty to each Existing Swap Agreement is a Lender Counterparty (or was a Lender Counterparty under and as defined in the Original Credit Agreements), (iii) the obligations
of the Credit Parties under the Existing Swap Agreements are included in the defined term “Lender Hedging Obligations” and such obligations are entitled to the benefits of, and are secured by the Liens granted under, the Security
Instruments and (iv) as of the Effective Date, the aggregate notional volume of Hydrocarbons under all Swap Agreements of the Credit Parties then in effect does not exceed the percentages of forecasted production from total proved reserves
permitted pursuant to this Section 7.05 (calculated as if a Credit Party was entering into a new transaction under a Swap Agreement on the Effective Date). 

Section 7.06. Restricted Payments. The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, declare

Disqualified Stock), (b) the Borrower may make Restricted Payments pursuant to and in accordance with stock option plans or other benefit plans for management or employees of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount

continuing, (ii) the aggregate amount of such cash dividends declared and paid in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters shall not exceed $50,000,000, (iii) the Aggregate Commitment exceeds Aggregate Credit Exposure by an amount
equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the Aggregate Commitment, and (iv) such Restricted Payment is permitted under the terms of the Indenture. 

Section 7.07. Transactions with Affiliates. The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
sell, lease or otherwise transfer any property or assets to, or purchase, lease or otherwise acquire any property or assets from, or otherwise engage in any other transactions with, any of its Affiliates, except (a) in the ordinary course of

Subsidiary than could be obtained on an arm’s-length basis from unrelated third parties, (b) transactions between or among the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries not involving any
other Affiliate, (c) transactions described on Schedule 7.07, (d) any Restricted Payment permitted by Section 7.06, (e) transactions with Unrestricted Subsidiaries consisting of certain services agreements and secondment

than any investments made pursuant to clause (o) thereof). 
 Section 7.08. Restrictive Agreements. The
Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into, incur or permit to exist any agreement or other arrangement that prohibits, restricts or imposes any condition upon (a) the ability
of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to create, incur or permit to exist any Lien upon any of its property or assets, or (b) the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to pay dividends or other distributions with respect to any of its
Equity Interests or to make or repay loans or advances to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or to Guarantee Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) the foregoing shall not apply to
restrictions and conditions imposed by law or by this Agreement, (ii) the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions and conditions set forth in the Loan Documents and the Senior Note Documents (or any documents evidencing or relating to any
Permitted Refinancing), (iii) the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions and conditions existing on the date hereof identified on Schedule 7.08 (but shall apply to any extension or renewal of, or any amendment or modification expanding the
scope of, any such restriction or condition), (iv) clause (a) of the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions or conditions imposed by any agreement relating to secured Indebtedness permitted by this Agreement if such restrictions or
conditions apply only to the property or assets securing such Indebtedness and (v) clause (a) of the foregoing shall not apply to customary provisions in leases and other contracts restricting the assignment thereof.

Note Documents the effect of which is to (a) increase the maximum principal amount of the Senior Notes or the rate of interest on any of the Senior Notes (other than as a result of the
imposition of a default rate of interest in accordance with the terms of the Senior Note Documents), (b) change or add any event of default or any covenant with respect to the Senior Note Documents if the effect of such change or addition is to

interest on the Senior Notes are due, (d) change any redemption or prepayment provisions of the Senior Notes, (e) alter the subordination provisions, if any, with respect to any of the Senior Note Documents, (f) change any of Sections

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 83 

 Article VIII 

Guarantee of Obligations 

Section 8.01. Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, the punctual payment of all Obligations now or which may in the future be owing by any Credit Party (the “Guaranteed Liabilities”). This Guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection
only. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to exhaust any right or remedy or take any action against the Borrower or any other Person or any collateral. The Guaranteed Liabilities include interest accruing after the commencement of a
proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of any jurisdiction at the rate or rates provided in the Loan Documents, or the Swap Agreements between any Credit Party and any Secured Party, as the case may be, regardless of whether such
interest is an allowed claim. Each Guarantor agrees that, as between the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent, the Guaranteed Liabilities may be declared to be due and payable for the purposes of this Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction
or other prohibition which may prevent, delay or vitiate any declaration as regards the Borrower or any other Guarantor and that in the event of a declaration or attempted declaration, the Guaranteed Liabilities shall immediately become due and
payable by each Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee. 
 Section 8.02. Guarantee Absolute. Each Guarantor
guarantees that the Guaranteed Liabilities shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Swap Agreements to which any Secured Party is a party. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is absolute and unconditional
irrespective of: (a) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Loan Documents or the Guaranteed Liabilities, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any of the
terms of any Loan Document or Guaranteed Liability, including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon; (b) any release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty or support document, or any
exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, for all or any of the Loan Documents or Guaranteed Liabilities; (c) any present or future law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction (whether of right or in fact) or of any agency thereof
purporting to reduce, amend, restructure or otherwise affect any term of any Loan Document or Guaranteed Liability; (d) without being limited by the foregoing, any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or Guaranteed Liability;
and (e) any other setoff, defense or counterclaim whatsoever (in any case, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) with respect to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby which might constitute a legal or
equitable defense available to, or discharge of, the Borrower or a Guarantor. 
 Section 8.03. Guarantee
Irrevocable. This Guarantee is a continuing guaranty of the payment of all Guaranteed Liabilities now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and such Swap Agreements to which any Secured Party is a party and shall remain in full force and
effect until payment in full of all Guaranteed Liabilities and other amounts payable hereunder and until this Agreement and the Swap Agreements are no longer in effect or, if earlier, when the Guarantor has given the Administrative Agent written
notice that this Guarantee has been revoked; provided that any notice under this Section shall not release the revoking Guarantor from any Guaranteed Liability, absolute or contingent, existing prior to the Administrative Agent’s actual
receipt of the notice at its branches or departments responsible for this Agreement and such Swap Agreements and reasonable opportunity to act upon such notice. 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 84 

 Section 8.04. Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party on the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, or any other Credit
Party, or otherwise, all as though the payment had not been made. 
 Section 8.05. Subrogation. No Guarantor shall
exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation, by any payment made under this Guarantee or otherwise, until all the Guaranteed Liabilities have been paid in full and this Agreement and the Swap Agreements to which any Lender
Counterparty is a party are no longer in effect. If any amount is paid to the Guarantor on account of subrogation rights under this Guarantee at any time when all the Guaranteed Liabilities have not been paid in full, the amount shall be held in
trust for the benefit of the Lenders and the Lender Counterparties and shall be promptly paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured or absolute or contingent, in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and such Swap Agreements. If any Guarantor makes payment to the Administrative Agent, Lenders, or any Lender Counterparties of all or any part of the Guaranteed Liabilities and all the Guaranteed Liabilities are paid
in full and this Agreement and such Swap Agreements are no longer in effect, the Administrative Agent, Lenders and Lender Counterparties shall, at such Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without
recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Liabilities resulting from the payment. 

Section 8.06. Subordination. Without limiting the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Lender
Counterparties under any other agreement, any liabilities owed by the Borrower to any Guarantor in connection with any extension of credit or financial accommodation by any Guarantor to or for the account of the Borrower, including but not limited
to interest accruing at the agreed contract rate after the commencement of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, are hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Liabilities, and such liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent
so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by any Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Liabilities but without reducing or affecting in any
manner the liability of the Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guarantee. 
 Section 8.07. Payments
Generally. All payments by the Guarantors shall be made in the manner, at the place and in the currency (the “Payment Currency”) required by the Loan Documents and the Swap Agreement to which any Lender Counterparty is a party,
as the case may be; provided, however, that (if the Payment Currency is other than Dollars) any Guarantor may, at its option (or, if for any reason whatsoever any Guarantor is unable to effect payments in the foregoing manner, such
Guarantor shall be obligated to) pay to the Administrative Agent at its principal office the equivalent amount in Dollars computed at the selling rate of the Administrative Agent or a selling rate chosen by the Administrative Agent, most recently in
effect on or prior to the date the Guaranteed Liability becomes due, for cable transfers of the Payment Currency to the place where the Guaranteed Liability is payable. In any case in which any Guarantor makes or is obligated to make payment in
Dollars, the Guarantor shall hold the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Counterparties harmless from any loss 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 85 

 
incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Lender Counterparty arising from any change in the value of Dollars in relation to the Payment Currency between the date the Guaranteed
Liability becomes due and the date the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Lender Counterparty is actually able, following the conversion of the Dollars paid by such Guarantor into the Payment Currency and remittance of such Payment Currency
to the place where such Guaranteed Liability is payable, to apply such Payment Currency to such Guaranteed Liability. 

Section 8.08. Setoff. Each Guarantor agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff,
banker’s lien or counterclaim the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Lender Counterparty may otherwise have, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Lender Counterparty shall be entitled, at its option, to offset balances (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by it for the account of any Guarantor at any office of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Lender Counterparty, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any amount payable by such
Guarantor under this Guarantee which is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Guarantor), in which case it shall promptly notify such Guarantor thereof; provided that the failure of the Administrative
Agent, such Lender, or such Lender Counterparty to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof. 
 Section 8.09.
Formalities. Each Guarantor waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceptance of this Guarantee or incurrence of any Guaranteed Liability and any other formality with respect to any of the Guaranteed Liabilities or this
Guarantee. 
 Section 8.10. Limitations on Guarantee. The provisions of the Guarantee under this Article VIII are
severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under
this Guarantee would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability under this Guarantee, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee to the
contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Lender Counterparty, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as
determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 8.10, with respect to the Maximum Liability of the Guarantors, is intended
solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent, Lenders and Lender Counterparties hereunder to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under
this Section 8.10 with respect to the Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that none of the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder shall be rendered voidable under applicable law. 

Article IX 

Events of Default 

If any of the following events (“Events of Default”) shall occur: 

(a) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan (including any payments required under Section 2.12) or any
reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the due date thereof or at a date fixed for prepayment thereof or otherwise;

Article X 

The Administrative Agent 

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party or other Affiliate thereof
as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is
required to exercise in writing as directed by the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.02), and (c) except as
expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge
of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any 

 

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 89 

 
duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness
of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent. No Person identified as a Co-Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation Agent or Co-Lead Arranger, in each case in its respective capacity as such, shall have any responsibilities or duties, or incur any liability, under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon
any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for
herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative
Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the
retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in Chicago, Illinois or New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 90 

 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to release any Collateral that it is permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver
to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral
to the extent such sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms of Section 7.03 or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) on
the Effective Date, each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to (i) terminate and release all of the Liens and security interests in the Equity Interests held by the Credit Parties in TGGT Holdings securing
repayment of the Obligations and the Guaranteed Liabilities under the Loan Documents and (ii) terminate the intercreditor agreement with TGGT Holdings and BG Gathering entered into in respect of the Liens and security interests referred to in
clause (i) above, and (B) upon the consummation of the Marcellus Joint Venture, each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to terminate and release (i) the Marcellus JV Operator from its obligations
(x) as a Guarantor under Article VIII of this Agreement and (y) as a Grantor under the Pledge Agreement and (ii) all of the Liens and security interests granted by the Marcellus JV Operator under the Security Instruments securing
repayment of the Obligations and Guaranteed Liabilities under the Loan Documents.

particular notices or communications. 
 (c) Any party hereto may change its address, telecopy number or electronic mail address
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 11.02. Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder 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 consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, 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 Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 92 

 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Credit Parties and the Majority Lenders or by the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Majority Lenders; provided that no such
agreement shall: 
 (i) increase the Borrowing Base without the written consent of each Lender; 

(ii) increase the Commitment of any Lender or, except as set forth in the definition of Applicable Percentage, increase
the Applicable Percentage of any Lender, in each case, without the written consent of such Lender; 
 (iii)

 (iv) reduce the principal
amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 

(v) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest
thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of the Aggregate Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (it being
understood that waiver of a mandatory prepayment of the Loans or a mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute a postponement or waiver of a scheduled payment or date of expiration); 

(vi) change Section 2.19(b), Section 2.19(c) or Section 2.19(e) in a manner that would alter the pro rata
sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (vii) except in connection
with any sales, transfers, leases or other dispositions permitted in Section 7.03, release any Credit Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents or release any of the Collateral without the written consent of each Lender;

“Majority Lenders” or “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent
hereunder, 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 or the Issuing Bank hereunder (including the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank under Section 2.21) without the prior written consent of the

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, OR (IV) ANY ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY AND
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO; 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.

under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such unpaid amount with respect to the amounts

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after written demand therefor. 

Section 11.04. 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 (i) no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Credit Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with
this Section. 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 paragraph (c) of this Section) 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 paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or
a portion of its rights and obligations under 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 95 

 
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 for an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender, a Federal Reserve Bank, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; 

(B) the Administrative Agent; and 

(C) the Issuing Bank. 

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, 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 in respect of such Lender’s Commitment and such Lender’s Loans 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; and 
 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender,
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 For the purposes of this
Section 11.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning: 
 “Approved
Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by
(a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, 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 

 

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 96 

 
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 2.16, Section 2.17, Section 2.18 and Section 11.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.04 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 paragraph (c) of this Section except that
any attempted assignment or transfer by any Lender that does not comply with clause (C) of Section 11.04(b)(ii) shall be null and void. 

(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 Commitment and Applicable Percentage of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Credit Parties, 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 Credit Parties, the Issuing
Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its
receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information
contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(d) or Section 2.07(e), Section 2.08,
Section 2.19(d) or Section 11.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full,
together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 

(c) 

(i) 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);

  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 97 

 
provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the 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. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; 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 first proviso to
Section 11.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 2.18 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were
a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.19(c) as though it were a Lender. 

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or Section 2.18 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 prior written consent of the Borrower. A Participant that
would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 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 2.18(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (d) 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, and this Section 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. 
 Section 11.05. Survival. 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 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, 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 Aggregate Commitment has not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.16, Section 2.17,
Section 2.18 and Section 11.03 and Article X 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 Aggregate Commitment or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

 Section 11.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 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. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable
to the Administrative Agent and J.P. Morgan constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. Except as provided in Section 5.01, 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 or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

Section 11.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement 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; and the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 11.08.
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 at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations
of any Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each
Lender under this Section and Section 8.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 

Section 11.09. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY
JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL
COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

 (c) EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO
SO, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 

(d) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 11.01.
NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. 

Section 11.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 Section 11.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents
used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

Section 11.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or any
self-regulatory authority or agency possessing investigative powers and the ability to sanction members for non-compliance, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to
any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing
provisions substantially the same as, or otherwise consistent with, those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or
(ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Credit Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information
(i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Credit Party. For
the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party relating to any Credit Party or its business, 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 any Credit Party 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 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 11.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate
applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum
Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in
respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and
the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the
date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit accounts (formerly Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann. Art. 5069, Ch. 15)) shall not apply to this Agreement or to any
Loan, nor shall this Agreement or any Loan be governed by or be subject to the provisions of such Chapter 346 in any manner whatsoever. 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 101 

 Section 11.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements
of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, upon
the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably requires to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your
customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act. 
 Section 11.15. Original Credit
Agreements. Upon the Effective Date, this Agreement shall supersede and replace in their respective entireties the Original Credit Agreements; provided, however, that (a) all loans, letters of credit, and other indebtedness,
obligations and liabilities outstanding under the Original Credit Agreements on such date shall continue to constitute Loans, Letters of Credit and other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under this Agreement, (b) the execution and
delivery of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents hereunder shall not constitute a novation, refinancing or any other fundamental change in the relationship among the parties and (c) the Loans, Letters of Credit, and other indebtedness,
obligations and liabilities outstanding hereunder, to the extent outstanding under the Original Credit Agreements immediately prior to the date hereof, shall constitute the same loans, letters of credit, and other indebtedness, obligations and
liabilities as were outstanding under the Original Credit Agreements. 
 Section 11.16. Reaffirmation and Grant of
Security Interest. Each Credit Party hereby (i) confirms that each Security Instrument (as defined in the Original Credit Agreements) to which it is a party or is otherwise bound and all Collateral encumbered thereby, will continue to
guarantee or secure, as the case may be, to the fullest extent possible in accordance with the Loan Documents, and regardless of whether any Guarantor under this Agreement was a “Borrower” under either of the Original Credit Agreements,
the payment and performance of all Obligations and Guaranteed Liabilities under this Agreement and the Secured Indebtedness (as such term is defined in the Mortgages) under the Mortgages, as the case may be, and (ii) reaffirms its grant to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of a continuing Lien on and security interest in and to such Credit Party’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Collateral as collateral security for the prompt payment and
performance in full when due of the Obligations and Guaranteed Liabilities under this Agreement and the Secured Indebtedness under the Mortgages (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms thereof.

 Section 11.17. Reallocation of Commitments and Loans. The Lenders have agreed among themselves to reallocate
their respective Commitments as contemplated by this Agreement and to adjust their interests in the Aggregate Commitment and the Loans accordingly. On the Effective Date and after giving effect to such reallocation and adjustment of the Aggregate
Commitment, the Commitment and Applicable Percentage of each Lender shall be as 
  

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 102 

 
set forth on Schedule 2.01 and each Lender shall own its Applicable Percentage of the outstanding Loans. The reallocation and adjustment to the Commitments of each Lender as contemplated by this
Section 11.17 shall be deemed to have been consummated pursuant to the terms of the Assignment and Assumption attached as Exhibit A hereto as if each of the Lenders had executed an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such reallocation and
adjustment. The Borrower and Administrative Agent hereby consent to such reallocation and adjustment of the Commitments. The Administrative Agent hereby waives the $3,500 processing and recordation fee set forth in Section 11.04(b)(ii)(C) with
respect to the assignments and reallocations of the Commitments contemplated by this Section 11.17. To the extent requested by any Lender, and in accordance with Section 2.17, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within the time period
prescribed by Section 2.17, any amounts required to be paid by the Borrower under Section 2.17 in the event the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto is required in connection with the reallocation contemplated by this Section 11.17.
