 Exhibit 4.4 

AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 THIRD PARTY
SECURITY AGREEMENT: 
 SPECIFIC RIGHTS TO PAYMENT 

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED THIRD PARTY SECURITY AGREEMENT: SPECIFIC RIGHTS TO PAYMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of
May 16, 2014, by and between ASSOCIATED INSURANCE COMPANY FOR EXCESS, an Arizona corporation (“Owner”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”). This Agreement amends and restates that certain Third Party
Security Agreement: Specific Rights to Payment between Owner and Bank dated December 18, 2013. 
 Recitals 

A. Barrett Business Services, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Borrower”), is currently indebted to Bank pursuant to the terms and
conditions of that certain Restated Credit Agreement dated November 1, 2012, as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). 

B. Borrower is a self-insured employer under the laws of the State of California and, as such, is obligated under California law to provide
security to the Self Insurance Plans of the State of California (the “Self Insurance Plans”) for Borrower’s obligations with respect to payment of workers’ compensation claims of Borrower’s employees under California law
(the “WC Payment Obligations”). 
 C. Owner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Borrower and a captive insurance company duly licensed
by the Department of Insurance of the State of Arizona. 
 D. In exchange for premium payments, Borrower has obtained from Owner one or more
policies of insurance under which Owner has agreed to satisfy the WC Payment Obligations on the terms and conditions set forth therein, as may be amended from time to time (the “Insurance Policies”). 

E. Under the Insurance Policies, Owner has legal obligations to Borrower to satisfy the WC Payment Obligations, which constitute antecedent
obligations of Owner to Borrower within the meaning of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfers Act. 
 F. By letter dated May 9, 2013 (the
“2013 Notification Letter”) from the State of California Department of Industrial Relations, Office of Self Insurance Plans (the “Office of Self Insurance Plans”), the Office of Self Insurance Plans required that Borrower provide
a security deposit in the amount of Sixty-Three Million Nine Hundred Forty-Three Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty-Two and No/100
Dollars ($63,943,832.00) to secure its WC Payment Obligations (the “2013 Security Deposit”). 
 G. In the event Borrower failed to
provide the 2013 Security Deposit, Borrower would have no longer qualified as a self-insured employer and, as a result thereof, Owner would have, among other things, experienced a material adverse decline in revenue, business, operations and
prospects. 
 H. Any drawings on the 2013 Security Deposit by the Self Insurance Plans would have resulted in a dollar for dollar reduction
in obligations that would have otherwise been payable by Owner to or for the benefit of Borrower for the purpose of satisfying the WC Payment Obligations.

 I. By letter dated May 16, 2013 from Beecher Carlson (the “2013 Request Letter”),
as managers of Owner, Owner requested that the Department of Insurance of the State of Arizona (the “Arizona Department”) approve a change in its business plan for the purpose of granting to Bank a security interest of first priority in
the certain assets held, or to be held, in a deposit account maintained by Bank (the “2013 Business Plan Change”). 
 J. By letter
dated May 24, 2013 (the “2013 Approval Letter”), the Arizona Department approved the 2013 Business Plan Change, which approval remains in full force and effect and has not been modified, rescinded or withdrawn. 

K. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower and Owner are a party, and in reliance
upon the facts set forth in the foregoing recitals, effective as of June 14, 2013, Bank issued to the Office of Self Insurance Plans a letter of credit in the amount of the 2013 Security Deposit for the benefit of Borrower and Owner (the
“Prior Letter of Credit”). 
 L. Effective October 30, 2013, Borrower caused the following three surety bonds (each a
“Surety Bond” and, collectively, the “Surety Bonds”) to be issued for the account of Borrower to secure Borrower’s obligations for the benefit of Borrower and Owner to the Office of Self Insurance Plans in an aggregate
amount equal to the 2013 Security Deposit: (i) Surety Bond No. SUR0025266 in the penal sum of Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00), issued by Argonaut Insurance Company (“Argonaut”), as surety (the “Argonaut
Surety Bond”), (ii) Surety Bond No. 800001601 in the penal sum of Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00), issued by Atlantic Specialty Insurance Company (“Atlantic”), as surety (the “Atlantic Surety
Bond”), and (iii) Surety Bond No. K0861765A in the penal sum of Thirteen Million Nine Hundred Forty-Three Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty-Two and No/100 Dollars ($13,943,832.00), issued by Westchester Fire Insurance Company
(“Westchester”), as surety (the “Westchester Surety Bond”). 
 M. By letter dated November 5, 2013, the Office of
Self Insurance Plans acknowledged receipt of the Surety Bonds as a substitute to the 2013 Security Deposit and released the Prior Letter of Credit (the “Release Transactions”), after which the Prior Letter of Credit was terminated and is
no longer outstanding. 
 N. Effective December 18, 2013, as collateral to secure in part the Surety Bonds, the Bank issued to the
issuers of the Surety Bonds, three new letters of credit as follows (each a “New Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “New Letters of Credit”): (i) to Argonaut, a standby letter of credit in the amount of Five Million
and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), (ii) to Atlantic, a standby letter of credit in the amount of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), and (iii) to Westchester, a standby letter of credit in the amount of Two Million Seven
Hundred Eighty-Eight Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty-Six and 40/100 Dollars ($2,788,766.40) (the “Westchester Standby Letter of Credit). 

O. Upon written notification from Owner of a further 2013 Business Plan Change regarding the Release Transactions, the issuance of the New
Letters of Credit and the grant of security interests and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Arizona Department approved the further 2013 Business Plan Change. 

P. Owner materially benefited both directly and indirectly from Bank’s issuance of the New Letters of Credit.

 Q. By letter dated April 18, 2014 (the “2014 Notification Letter”) from the Office
of Self Insurance Plans, the Office of Self Insurance Plans is requiring that Borrower increase the amount of its 2013 Security Deposit from Sixty-Three Million Nine Hundred
Forty-Three Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty-Two and No/100 Dollars ($63,943,832.00) to One Hundred Four Million Seven Hundred Seventeen Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-One
and No/100 Dollars ($104,717,331.00) to secure its WC Payment Obligations (the “2014 Security Deposit”). 
 R. In the event
Borrower fails to provide the 2014 Security Deposit, Borrower will no longer qualify as a self-insured employer and, as a result thereof, Owner will, among other things, experience a material adverse decline in revenue, business, operations and
prospects. 
 S. Any drawings on the 2014 Security Deposit by the Self Insurance Plans will result in a dollar for dollar reduction in
obligations that would otherwise be payable by Owner to or for the benefit of Borrower for the purpose of satisfying the WC Payment Obligations. 

T. Effective May 13, 2014, Borrower caused the Westchester Surety Bond to be increased from Thirteen Million Nine Hundred Forty-Three
Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty-Two and No/100 Dollars ($13,943,832.00) to Fifty-Four Million Seven Hundred Seventeen Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-One and No/100 Dollars ($54,717,331.00) (the “Amended Westchester Surety Bond”) to secure,
together with the Argonaut Surety Bond and the Atlantic Surety Bond, Borrower’s obligations for the benefit of Borrower and Owner to the Office of Self Insurance Plans in an aggregate amount equal to the 2014 Security Deposit. 

U. Effective as of the date of this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, as
collateral to secure in part the Amended Westchester Surety Bond, the Bank is willing to amend the Westchester Standby Letter of Credit to increase the principal amount therefor from Two Million Seven Hundred Eighty-Eight Thousand Seven Hundred
Sixty-Six and 40/100 Dollars ($2,788,766.40) to Ten Million Nine Hundred Forty-Three Thousand Four Hundred Sixty-Six and 20/100 Dollars ($10,943,466.20) (the “Amended Westchester Standby Letter of Credit”). 

V. Legal counsel for Owner has obtained assurances from the principal captives examiner at the Arizona Department that, upon written
notification from Owner of the proposed business plan change regarding the Amended Westchester Standby Letter of Credit as collateral to secure in part the Amended Westchester Surety Bond, the Arizona Department will approve the proposed business
plan change. 
 W. Owner materially benefits both directly and indirectly from Bank’s issuance of the Amended Westchester Standby
Letter of Credit. 
 X. As of the date hereof, Owner is solvent and, following the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein,
will continue to be solvent. 
 Y. To effect the transactions relating to the 2014 Notification Letter, including Owner’s grant of
additional collateral to Bank to secure Borrower’s obligations with respect to the Amended Westchester Standby Letter of Credit, Bank and Owner have agreed to amend and restate the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Third Party
Security Agreement: Specific Rights to Payment between Owner and Bank dated December 18, 2013.

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the parties hereby acknowledge, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. GRANT OF SECURITY
INTEREST. As security for the payment of all Indebtedness of Borrower to Bank arising under or in connection with the New Letters of Credit and the Amended Westchester Standby Letter of Credit, together in the amount of Twenty Million Nine Hundred
Forty-Three Thousand Four Hundred Sixty-Six and 20/100 Dollars ($20,943,466.20) and all extensions, renewals or modifications thereof, and restatements or substitutions therefor issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Standby Letter of Credit
Agreement (Credit Agreement/Loan Agreement Version) between Borrower and Bank, dated as of September 18, 2012, as may be amended from time to time(the “Letter of Credit Agreement”), Owner hereby grants and transfers, and reconfirms
its prior grant and transfer, to Bank a security interest in the following accounts, deposit accounts, chattel paper (whether electronic or tangible), instruments, promissory notes, documents, general intangibles, payment intangibles, software,
letter of credit rights, health-care insurance receivables and other rights to payment (collectively called “Collateral”): 

Deposit account number 5259896099 at Bank (whether held in Borrower’s name or as a Bank collateral account for the benefit of Borrower,
any sub-account thereunder or consolidated therewith, and all renewals, replacements or substitutions therefore, including any account resulting from a renumbering or other administrative re-identification thereof, “Account No. 1”)
and all amounts from time to time on deposit in Account No. 1 and all interest thereon; and 
 Deposit account number 6943748548 at Bank
(whether held in Borrower’s name or as a Bank collateral account for the benefit of Borrower, any sub-account thereunder or consolidated therewith, and all renewals, replacements or substitutions therefore, including any account resulting from
a renumbering or other administrative re-identification thereof, “Account No. 2” and, together with Account No. 1, the “Accounts”) and all amounts from time to time on deposit in Account No. 2 and all interest
thereon; 
 and all renewals thereof, including all securities, guaranties, warranties, indemnity agreements, insurance policies, supporting obligations and
other agreements pertaining to the same or the property described therein, together with whatever is receivable or received when any of the Collateral or proceeds thereof are sold, collected, exchanged or otherwise disposed of, whether such
disposition is voluntary or involuntary, including without limitation, all rights to payment, including returned premiums, with respect to any insurance relating to any of the foregoing, and all rights to payment with respect to any claim or cause
of action affecting or relating to any of the foregoing (hereinafter called “Proceeds”). The word “Indebtedness” is used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities
of Borrower, heretofore, now or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntary or involuntary and however arising, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, including under any
swap, derivative, foreign exchange, hedge, deposit, treasury management or other similar transaction or arrangement, and whether Borrower may be liable individually or jointly with others, or whether recovery upon such Indebtedness may be or
hereafter becomes unenforceable. 
 2. CONTINUING AGREEMENT; REVOCATION; OBLIGATION UNDER OTHER AGREEMENTS. This is a continuing agreement
and all rights, powers and remedies hereunder shall apply to all past, present and future Indebtedness of Borrower to Bank, including that 

  
 -4- 

 
arising under successive transactions which shall either continue the Indebtedness, increase or decrease it, or from time to time create new Indebtedness after all or any prior Indebtedness has
been satisfied, and notwithstanding the death, incapacity, dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy of Borrower or Owner or any other event or proceeding affecting Borrower or Owner. This Agreement shall not apply to any new Indebtedness created after
actual receipt by Bank of written notice of its revocation as to such new Indebtedness; provided however, that loans or advances made by Bank to Borrower after revocation under commitments existing prior to receipt by Bank of such revocation, and
extensions, renewals or modifications, of any kind, of Indebtedness incurred by Borrower or committed by Bank prior to receipt by Bank of such revocation, shall not be considered new Indebtedness. Any such notice must be sent to Bank by registered
U.S. mail, postage prepaid, addressed to its office at Commercial and Forest Products RCBO, MAC P6101-250, 1300 SW Fifth Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97201, or at such other address as Bank shall from time to time designate. The obligations of Owner
hereunder shall be in addition to any obligations of Owner under any other grants or pledges of security for any liabilities or obligations of Borrower or any other person heretofore or hereafter given to Bank unless said other grants or pledges of
security are expressly modified or revoked in writing; and this Agreement shall not, unless expressly herein provided, affect or invalidate any such other grants or pledges of security. 

3. CONTROL OF THE ACCOUNTS. As of and after the date of this Agreement, Owner may not make debits to or withdrawals from the Accounts and
Owner shall have no access to the Accounts or to funds at any time on either deposit in the Accounts. Bank shall have the exclusive access to the Accounts and to funds at any time on deposit in the Accounts; provided, however, that so long as no
Event of Default has occurred, Bank shall pay interest on the funds on deposit in the Accounts quarterly in arrears at the interest rate applicable to time deposits as determined by Bank from time in its sole discretion. 

4. OBLIGATIONS JOINT AND SEVERAL; SEPARATE ACTIONS; WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS; REINSTATEMENT OF LIABILITY. The obligations hereunder
are joint and several and independent of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Owner whether action is brought against Borrower or any other person, or whether Borrower or any other
person is joined in any such action or actions. Owner acknowledges that this Agreement is absolute and unconditional, there are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement, and this Agreement is in full force and effect and is
binding on Owner as of the date written below, regardless of whether Bank obtains collateral or any guaranties from others or takes any other action contemplated by Owner. Owner waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Owner’s
liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and Owner agrees that any payment of any Indebtedness or other act which shall toll any statute of limitations applicable thereto shall similarly operate to toll such statute of limitations applicable
to Owner’s liability hereunder. The liability of Owner hereunder shall be reinstated and revived and the rights of Bank shall continue if and to the extent that for any reason any amount at any time paid on account of any Indebtedness secured
hereby is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by Bank, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The determination as to whether any amount so paid must be
rescinded or restored shall be made by Bank in its sole discretion; provided however, that if Bank chooses to contest any such matter at the request of Owner, Owner agrees to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against all costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees (to include outside counsel fees and all allocated costs of Bank’s in-house counsel), expended or incurred by Bank in connection therewith, including without limitation, in any litigation with respect
thereto.

(b) Owner waives any defense to its obligations hereunder based upon or arising by reason of: (i) any disability or other defense of
Borrower or any other person; (ii) the cessation or limitation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full, of the Indebtedness of Borrower or any other person; (iii) any lack of authority of any officer, director, partner, agent
or any other person acting or purporting to act on behalf of Borrower, or any defect in the formation of Borrower; (iv) the application by Borrower of the proceeds of any Indebtedness for purposes other than the purposes represented by Borrower
to, or intended or understood by, Bank or Owner; (v) any act or omission by Bank which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of Borrower or any portion of the Indebtedness by operation of law or otherwise, or which in any way

perfection or recordation of any interest in any such security, the release of any such security without substitution, and/or the failure to preserve the value of, or to comply with applicable law in disposing of, any such security; (vii) any
modification of the Indebtedness, in any form whatsoever, including any modification made after revocation hereof to any Indebtedness incurred prior to such revocation, and including without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or other

benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Bank. Owner further waives all rights and defenses Owner may have arising out of (A) any election of remedies by Bank, even though that election of remedies, such
as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for any portion of the Indebtedness, destroys Owner’s rights of subrogation or Owner’s rights to proceed against Borrower for reimbursement, or (B) any loss of rights Owner
may suffer by reason of any rights, powers or remedies of Borrower in connection with any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging Borrower’s Indebtedness, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including
any rights Owner may have to a fair market value hearing to determine the size of a deficiency following any foreclosure sale or other disposition of any real property security for any portion of the Indebtedness. 

9. AUTHORIZATIONS TO BANK. Owner authorizes Bank either before or after revocation hereof, without notice to or demand on Owner, and without
affecting Owner’s liability hereunder, from time to time to: (a) alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of, the Indebtedness or any portion thereof, including
increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; (b) take and hold 

  
 -9- 

 
security, other than the Collateral and Proceeds, for the payment of the Indebtedness or any portion thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate or release the Collateral and Proceeds, or
any part thereof, or any such other security; (c) apply the Collateral and Proceeds or such other security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, including without limitation, a non-judicial sale permitted by the terms of the
controlling security agreement, mortgage or deed of trust, as Bank in its discretion may determine; (d) release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or guarantors of the Indebtedness, or any portion thereof, or any other party
thereto; and (e) apply payments received by Bank from Borrower to any Indebtedness of Borrower to Bank, in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion, whether or not such Indebtedness is covered by this Agreement, and Owner
hereby waives any provision of law regarding application of payments which specifies otherwise. Bank may without notice assign this Agreement in whole or in part. 

10. PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS, TAXES, CHARGES, LIENS AND ASSESSMENTS. Owner agrees to pay, prior to delinquency, all insurance premiums, taxes,
charges, liens and assessments against the Collateral and Proceeds, and upon the failure of Owner to do so, Bank at its option may pay any of them and shall be the sole judge of the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge
the same. Any such payments made by Bank shall be obligations of Owner to Bank, due and payable immediately upon demand, together with interest at a rate determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and shall be secured by the
Collateral and Proceeds, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 11. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the
following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement: (a) any default in the payment or performance of any obligation, or any defined event of default, under (i) any contract or instrument evidencing any
Indebtedness, or (ii) any other agreement between Borrower and Bank, including without limitation any loan agreement, relating to or executed in connection with any Indebtedness; (b) any representation or warranty made by Owner herein
shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect when made; (c) Owner shall fail to observe or perform any obligation or agreement contained herein; (d) any impairment of any rights of Bank in any Collateral or Proceeds, or any
attachment or like levy on any property of Owner; and (e) Bank, in good faith, believes any or all of the Collateral and/or Proceeds to be in danger of misuse, dissipation, commingling, loss, theft, damage or destruction, or otherwise in
jeopardy or unsatisfactory in character or value. 
 12. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Bank shall have and may
exercise without demand any and all rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Oregon Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise provided by law, including without limitation, the right (a) to contact
all persons obligated to Owner on any Collateral or Proceeds and to instruct such persons to deliver all Collateral and/or Proceeds directly to Bank, and (b) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any or all Collateral. All rights,
powers, privileges and remedies of Bank shall be cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of Bank in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such right, power, privilege or remedy; nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent
or approval of any kind by Bank of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing. It is agreed that public or private sales or
other dispositions, for cash or on credit, to a wholesaler or retailer or investor, or user of property of the types subject to this Agreement, or public auctions, are all commercially reasonable since differences in the 

  
 -10- 

 
prices generally realized in the different kinds of dispositions are ordinarily offset by the differences in the costs and credit risks of such dispositions. While an Event of Default exists:
(a) Owner will deliver to Bank from time to time, as requested by Bank, current lists of all Collateral and Proceeds; (b) Owner will not dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds except on terms approved by Bank; (c) Bank may, at any time
and at Bank’s sole option, liquidate any time deposits pledged to Bank hereunder and apply the Proceeds thereof to payment of the Indebtedness, whether or not said time deposits have matured and notwithstanding the fact that such liquidation
may give rise to penalties for early withdrawal of funds; and (d) at Bank’s request, Owner will assemble and deliver all Collateral and Proceeds, and books and records pertaining thereto, to Bank at a reasonably convenient place designated
by Bank. Owner further agrees that Bank shall have no obligation to process or prepare any Collateral for sale or other disposition. 
 13.
DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL AND PROCEEDS; TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS. In disposing of Collateral hereunder, Bank may disclaim all warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. Any proceeds of any disposition of any Collateral or
Proceeds, or any part thereof, may be applied by Bank to the payment of expenses incurred by Bank in connection with the foregoing, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be applied by Bank toward the payment
of the Indebtedness in such order of application as Bank may from time to time elect. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the Indebtedness, Bank may transfer all or any part of the Collateral or Proceeds and shall be fully discharged thereafter
from all liability and responsibility with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all rights and powers of Bank hereunder with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred; but with respect to any
Collateral or Proceeds not so transferred, Bank shall retain all rights, powers, privileges and remedies herein given. 
 14. NOTICES. All
notices, requests and demands required under this Agreement must be in writing, addressed to Bank at the address specified in Section 2 hereof and to Owner at the address of its chief executive office specified below or to such other address as
any party may designate by written notice to each other party, and shall be deemed to have been given or made as follows: (a) if personally delivered, upon delivery; (b) if sent by mail, upon the earlier of the date of receipt or three
(3) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class and postage prepaid; and (c) if sent by telecopy, upon receipt. 
 15. COSTS,
EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Owner shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (to include outside counsel fees and all allocated
costs of Bank’s in-house counsel), expended or incurred by Bank in connection with (a) the perfection and preservation of the Collateral or Bank’s interest therein, and (b) the realization, enforcement and exercise of any right,
power, privilege or remedy conferred by this Agreement, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including
without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person) relating to Owner or in any way affecting any of the Collateral or Bank’s ability to exercise any of its rights or remedies with
respect thereto. All of the foregoing shall be paid by Owner with interest from the date of demand until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the greater of ten percent (10%) or Bank’s Prime Rate in effect from time to time. 

  
 -11- 

 16. SUCCESSORS; ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties; provided however, that Owner may not assign or transfer any of its interests or rights hereunder without Bank’s prior written consent. Owner
acknowledges that Bank has the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, any Indebtedness of Borrower to Bank and any obligations with respect thereto, including this Agreement. In
connection therewith, Bank may disclose all documents and information which Bank now has or hereafter acquires relating to Owner and/or this Agreement, whether furnished by Borrowers, Owner or otherwise. Owner further agrees that Bank may disclose
such documents and information to Borrower. 
 17. AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended or modified only in writing signed by Bank and
Owner. 
 18. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or any remaining provisions of this Agreement. 

19. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon. 

20. ARBITRATION. 
 (a)
Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents),
whether in tort, contract or otherwise in any way arising out of or relating to in any way (i) the loan and related loan and security documents which are the subject of this Agreement and its negotiation, execution, collateralization,
administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination. 
 (b)
Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in Oregon selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States
Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the
AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the
AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to herein, as applicable, as the “Rules”).
If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and
expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable
state law. 
 (c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right
of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property 

  
 -12- 

 
collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as
replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to
arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph. 

(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will
be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of
three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of Oregon or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal
judiciary of Oregon, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give
effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to
dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of Oregon and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant
within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator
deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to
arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief. 
 (e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding, discovery
will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date. Any requests for an extension
of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining
information is available. 
 (f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. No party hereto shall be entitled to join or consolidate
disputes by or against others in any arbitration, except parties who have executed this Agreement or any other contract, instrument or document relating to any Indebtedness, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member
of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity. 
 (g) Payment
Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding. 

  
 -13- 

 (h) Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the
parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results
thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the
arbitration provision most directly related to the documents between the parties or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the documents or any
relationship between the parties. 
 Owner warrants that Owner is an organization registered under the laws of the State of Arizona. 

Owner warrants that its chief executive office (or principal residence, if applicable) is located at the following address: 2999 N 44th
Street, Suite 500, Arizona 85018, c/o Low & Cohen PLLC. 
 UNDER OREGON LAW, MOST AGREEMENTS, PROMISES AND COMMITMENTS MADE BY BANK
CONCERNING LOANS AND OTHER CREDIT EXTENSIONS WHICH ARE NOT FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES OR SECURED SOLELY BY THE BORROWER’S RESIDENCE MUST BE IN WRITING, EXPRESS CONSIDERATION AND BE SIGNED BY BANK TO BE ENFORCEABLE. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed as of the date first written above.

 APPENDIX B 

Corporate Transactions 
 Over the years,
Apache and its Affiliated Entities have engaged in certain acquisitions and disposition transactions. This Appendix contains provisions that apply to employees (including former employees) affected by certain transactions. 

Sales 
 For an Employee who
transferred to Natural Gas Clearinghouse (“NGC”) pursuant to the terms of the Employee Benefits Agreement effective April 1, 1990 between Apache and NGC, a Period of Service shall be calculated by treating as employment with Apache
any period(s) of employment after April 1, 1990 with NGC or any business that is then treated as a single employer with NGC pursuant to Code §414(b), §414(c), §414(m), or §414(o). 

Employees terminated in connection with the summer 1995 sale of certain properties to Citation 1994 Investment Limited Partnership are fully vested in their
Plan Accounts as of September 1, 1995. 
 An Employee who transferred to Producers Energy Marketing LLC (“ProEnergy”) in the first half of
1996 is fully vested in his Plan Accounts as of the date of transfer. If such an individual becomes an Employee again, all new contributions to his Plan Accounts shall vest according to the regular rules. 

The following three paragraphs apply to any Employee who transfers to Fieldwood Energy, LLC (“Fieldwood”) or to any business while it is treated as
a single employer with Fieldwood pursuant to Code §414(b), §414(c), §414(m), or §414(o) (collectively, the “Fieldwood Group”), and whose transfer occurs pursuant to the closing of the transaction described in the
“Purchase and Sale Agreement by and among Apache Corporation, Apache Shelf, Inc., and Apache Deepwater LLC, and Fieldwood Energy, LLC and GOM Shelf LLC” (the “PSA”) that was entered into on July 18, 2013 (a “Transferred
Employee”). 
 Vesting. Notwithstanding subsection 5.3(a), for vesting purposes, a Period of Service for a Transferred Employee shall include
his service with the Fieldwood Group after the closing of the transaction until his termination of employment with the Fieldwood Group. Notwithstanding subsection 5.4(b), the earliest date a forfeiture may occur is the date of the Employee’s
termination of employment with the Fieldwood Group. 
 Distributions. A Transferred Employee may take a distribution of the entire distributable
amount at any time after his Termination from Service Date from the Company. The distributable amount, as determined under section 6.3, only includes vested benefits. If the Transferred Employee takes a distribution and his vested percentage later
increases, he may take additional distribution(s), each of which shall be equal to the entire distributable amount at the time of the distribution. Notwithstanding subsection 6.6(c), the Plan will not cash out a small Account until the Transferred
Employee becomes fully vested or, if earlier, he terminates employment with the Fieldwood Group. 
 Loans. A Transferred Employee may roll over any
outstanding loan from the Plan to a qualified plan sponsored by any member of the Fieldwood Group that agrees to accept such a rollover, as long as the rollover is initiated by the last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in
which occurs the Transferred Employee’s Effective Date (as defined in Exhibit F of the PSA). Any loan not rolled over by such date shall be subject to the usual default rules in section 7.6. Notwithstanding Article VI, a Transferred Employee
may roll over a loan under this paragraph without taking any other distribution from the Plan. 
 Acquisitions 

A Period of Service for vesting purposes for a New Employee (listed below) shall be determined by treating all periods of employment with the Former Employer
Controlled Group as periods of employment with Apache. The “Former Employer Controlled Group” means the Former Employer (listed below), its predecessor company/ies, and any business while such business was treated as a single employer with
the Former Employer or predecessor company pursuant to Code §414(b), §414(c), §414(m), or §414(o).

 APPENDIX C 

Mariner Energy, Inc. 

Introduction 
 Through a merger
effective as of November 10, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), Apache acquired Mariner Energy, Inc., (“Mariner”) which sponsored the Mariner Energy, Inc. Employee Capital Accumulation Plan (“Mariner’s 401(k) Plan”).
Mariner’s 401(k) Plan is merged into this Plan as of November 16, 2010. This Appendix describes the special rules that apply to amounts transferred from Mariner’s 401(k) Plan to this Plan, and also describes how the match is
calculated for 2010 in this Plan. 
 Capitalized terms in this Appendix have the same meanings as those given to them in the Plan. The regular terms of the
Plan shall apply, except as provided below. 
 Match 

The Company Matching Contribution for 2010 shall be determined pursuant to section 3.2 of the Plan, based on the Participant Contributions and Compensation
paid to a Covered Employee after the date of the merger, except as provided in the next sentence. If a Covered Employee’s Participant Contributions to this Plan and his contributions to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan that are subject to the limits
of Code §402(g) are $16,500 or (because of catch-up contributions) more during 2010, his Company Matching Contribution for 2010 will be the greater of (a) the aggregate matching contributions he would have received in both this Plan and
Mariner’s 401(k) Plan had equal salary deferrals of $16,500 in the aggregate been withheld from each regular paycheck during 2010, minus the match allocated to him for 2010 in Mariner’s 401(k) Plan, or (b) the amount described in the
preceding sentence. 
 The Company Matching Contribution shall vest pursuant to the usual rules in Article V. See Appendix B for additional (pre-Apache)
service that is taken into account for vesting purposes. 
 Incoming Assets 

A participant in Mariner’s 401(k) Plan may have as many as seven different types of accounts in that plan. The following distribution rules apply to
those incoming accounts (the “Old Mariner Accounts”). 
  

	1.	Accounts. 

  

	 	(a)	Employee Deferrals. Any Old Mariner Account that is subject to Code §401(k) shall be transferred to the Participant Contributions Account. No special distribution rules apply to such amounts.

  

	 	(b)	Regular Match. Matching contributions to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan and the earnings thereon shall be transferred to a separate subaccount of the Company Contributions Account in this Plan. These amounts vest 33%
when his Period of Service is one year, 66% when his Period of Service is two years, and 100% when his Period of Service is three years or more. These amounts are subject to the distribution rules that apply to Company Contributions Accounts, except
as noted below in section 2 below. 

  

	 	(c)	Discretionary Company Contribution. Discretionary employer contributions to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan and the earnings thereon that were subject to a 6-year vesting schedule shall be transferred to a separate
subaccount of the Company Contribution Account in this Plan that is subject to the regular 5-year vesting schedule described in Article V. The additional vesting shall apply to this subaccount on the date of the merger of the plans, even to those
subaccounts of individuals who are no longer employees. This subaccount is subject to the distribution rules that apply to Company Contributions Accounts, except as noted in section 2 below. 

	 	(d)	Pre-Tax Rollover Account. Pre-tax rollovers contributions to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan and the earnings thereon shall be transferred to the Rollover Account. No special distribution rules apply to such amounts.

  

	 	(e)	After-Tax Rollover Account. After-tax rollovers contributions to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan and the earnings thereon shall be transferred to a separate, fully vested, subaccount of the Rollover Account in this
Plan. No special distribution rules apply to this subaccount. 

  

	 	(f)	After-Tax Account. A participant’s after-tax contributions to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan and the earnings thereon shall be transferred to a separate, fully vested, subaccount of the Participant Contributions
Account in this Plan. The same distribution rules that apply to the Rollover Account will apply to this subaccount. 

  

	 	(g)	FERI Accounts. Both matching and discretionary employer contributions to a plan sponsored by Forest Oil and transferred to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan and the earnings thereon shall be transferred to separate,
fully vested, subaccounts of the Company Contributions Account in this Plan. These subaccounts are subject to the distribution rules that apply to Company Contributions Accounts, except as noted in section 2 below. 

 

	2.	Special Distribution Rules. 

  

	 	(a)	Installments. Except as provided in the next sentence, in subsection 6.4(b) of the Plan (relating to in-service withdrawals, minimum required withdrawals, and installments to beneficiaries), and in subsection
13.9(f) of the Plan (relating to QDROs), all distributions shall be in the form of a lump sum of the Account Owner’s entire vested account balance in the Plan. Any Account Owner who elected installment payments from the Old Mariner Accounts
before the merger of Mariner’s 401(k) Plan and this Plan shall be paid the installments in the amount and on the schedule he had elected. 

  

	 	(b)	Hardship Withdrawals. A Participant may take an in-service hardship withdrawal that meets the requirements of paragraphs 6.5(c)(i) and 6.5(c)(ii) of the Plan from the subaccounts of the Company Contribution
Account that were established in subsections 1(b), 1(c), and 1(g) of this Appendix, to the extent such subaccounts are vested. 

  

	 	(c)	Two-Year Rule. Once the funds have actually been in either the Plan or Mariner’s 401(k) Plan for 24 months, a Participant may take an in-service withdrawal from the vested portion of the subaccounts of the
Company Contribution Account that were established in subsections 1(b), 1(c), and 1(g) of this Appendix. 

  

	 	(d)	Five-Year Rule. Once a Participant has been a Participant in this Plan and Mariner’s 401(k) Plan for 60 months, the Participant may take an in-service withdrawal from the vested portion of the subaccounts of
the Company Contribution Account that were established in subsections 1(b), 1(c), and 1(g) of this Appendix. 

  

	3.	Investments. 

 The Plan may accept an in-kind transfer of assets from Mariner’s
401(k) Plan, as determined by the Committee. 
  

	4.	Loans. 

 Loans in Mariner’s 401(k) Plan will be transferred to the Plan. The
repayment schedule of the loans may be modified to accommodate the Borrower’s new pay schedule. Participants cannot borrow from the Plan again until all prior loans have been repaid. 

	5.	Enrollment. 

 Individuals who were employed by Mariner or related companies and become
Covered Employees on the Closing Date will be deemed to have elected to make Participant Contributions to this Plan at the same rate that they had been making similar contributions to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan immediately before the plans’
merger. If any such individual was not contributing to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan when the plan merger occurred, he will not be automatically enrolled in the Plan, even if he was hired by Mariner as recently as one day before the plans’ merger.

  

	6.	Vesting. 

 If (a) the Participant was an employee of Mariner on the Closing Date,
(b) his severance from employment occurs on or before June 30, 2011, (c) Apache decided to terminate the Participant or the Participant decided not to accept Apache’s offer of employment, and (d) the Participant’s
termination is not for cause, then the Participant’s Old Mariner Accounts shall become fully vested upon his severance from employment.

is a US citizen or US resident, or is a nonresident alien performing services for AIEI whose remuneration from AIEI is treated as income from sources within the United States pursuant to Code §872, with the following exceptions. 

 

	 	(a)	Any individual directly employed by an entity other than AIEI shall not be a Covered Employee, even if such individual is considered a common-law employee of AIEI or is treated as an employee of AIEI pursuant to Code
§414(n). 

  

	 	(b)	An Employee included in a unit of Employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement shall not be a Covered Employee unless the collective bargaining agreement specifically provides for such Employee’s
participation in the Plan. 

  

	 	(c)	An Employee whose job is classified as “temporary” shall be a Covered Employee only after he has worked for one or more Companies for six consecutive months. 

 

	 	(d)	An Employee shall not be a Covered Employee while he is classified as an “intern,” a “consultant,” or an “independent contractor.” An Employee may be classified as an “intern”
only if he is currently enrolled (or is expected to be enrolled within the next 12 months) in a high school, college, or university. An Employee may be classified as an intern even if he does not receive academic course credit from his school.

  

	 	(e)	An individual who is employed pursuant to a written agreement with an agency or other third party for a specific job assignment or project shall not be a Covered Employee. 

When Participant Contributions Begin 

Participant Contributions can be made from any paycheck of a Covered Employee after this amendment is signed. 

Calculation of Match 
 The Company
Matching Contribution for a Covered Employee shall be determined pursuant to section 3.2 of the Plan, based on his Participant Contributions for the Plan Year and his “Includable Compensation” for the Plan Year. “Includable
Compensation” includes Compensation paid only while the Participant is a Covered Employee, and shall include a Participant’s entire final paycheck that contains any funds attributable to services performed as a Covered Employee. 

When Benefits Cease to Be Earned 
 When an
Employee of AIEI ceases to be a Covered Employee, Participant Contributions will be withheld (pursuant to his then-existing deferral election) from Compensation from his entire final paycheck that contains funds attributable to services performed as
a Covered Employee.
