Secured Swap Provider (it being understood that any such assignment shall not change the economic terms (for example, price, volume, the timing of settlement payments, tenor and similar terms) of such assigned Oil and Gas Swap Agreement) and
(y) exercise all rights and remedies under any Oil and Gas Swap Agreement following the occurrence of an event of default or termination event with respect to the applicable counterparty thereunder.”

 12 

 (y) if the Total Debt Leverage Condition is not satisfied immediately after
the consummation of the Barnett Shale Transaction, the Borrower shall use the net cash proceeds of the Contribution Consideration first to prepay Combined Loans and, as necessary, cash collateralize Combined LC Exposure in a manner
satisfactory to each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent in an amount so that, after giving effect to any such prepayments or cash collateralization (it being understood that for purposes of this clause first any amount of Combined LC
Exposure that has been cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to constitute Combined Credit Exposure for purposes of determining the Global Borrowing Base Utilization
Percentage) the Global Borrowing Base Utilization Percentage is less than 25% (or, if greater, an amount sufficient to cure any borrowing base deficiencies), second to, in equal amounts, (1) prepay Combined Loans and, after prepaying all
of the Combined Loans, to cash collateralize all Post 8/6/12 Incremental Combined LC Exposure in a manner satisfactory to each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and (2) repay, repurchase, retire or otherwise Redeem Existing Debt or
Permitted Additional Debt until the outstanding principal amount of the Combined Loans equals $0 and all Post 8/6/12 Incremental Combined LC Exposure has been collateralized as indicated above and third to repay, repurchase, retire or
otherwise Redeem Existing Debt or Permitted Additional Debt; 
 provided further, however, that if
the Barnett Shale Transaction has not been consummated prior to delivery by the Global Administrative Agent of the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice relating to the Scheduled Redetermination of the Global Borrowing Base and U.S. Borrowing Base in April
2013, clause (x) of the preceding proviso shall not apply and instead the Global Borrowing Base and the U.S. Borrowing Base shall be reduced in a manner consistent with the requirements and procedures set forth in Section 9.10(d)(iii)-(v),
to the extent applicable, and the net cash proceeds of the Contribution Consideration shall be applied according to the preceding clause (y), if clause (y) is applicable, and otherwise pursuant to Section 9.10(d)(v), to the extent
applicable.” 
 2.8.2 Section 9.10(i) of the Canadian Credit Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety
with the following text: 
 “(i) transfers and other dispositions of Oil and Gas Properties and Oil and Gas

 13 

 (y) if the Total Debt Leverage Condition is not satisfied immediately after
the consummation of the Barnett Shale Transaction, the Parent shall use the net cash proceeds of the Contribution Consideration first to prepay Combined Loans and, as necessary, cash collateralize Combined LC Exposure in a manner satisfactory
to each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent in an amount so that, after giving effect to any such prepayments or cash collateralization (it being understood that for purposes of this clause first any amount of Combined LC Exposure that

 provided further, however, that if the Barnett Shale
Transaction has not been consummated prior to delivery by the Global Administrative Agent of the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice relating to the Scheduled Redetermination of the Global Borrowing Base and U.S. Borrowing Base in April 2013, clause
(x) of the preceding proviso shall not apply and instead the Global Borrowing Base and the U.S. Borrowing Base shall be reduced in a manner consistent with the requirements and procedures set forth in Section 9.10(d)(iii)-(v), to the
extent applicable, and the net cash proceeds of the Contribution Consideration shall be applied according to the preceding clause (y), if clause (y) is applicable, and otherwise pursuant to Section 9.10(d)(v), to the extent
applicable.”

Section 8.12(c), Section 9.02(n), Section 9.10(d) or Section 9.10(i) of the Combined Credit Agreements. This Section 3 constitutes a New Borrowing Base Notice in accordance with Section 2.07(d) of the Combined Credit
Agreements and a Borrowing Base Allocation Notice in accordance with Section 2.07(e) of the Combined Credit Agreements, in each case, delivered in connection with this second Scheduled Redetermination of the Global Borrowing Base and U.S.
Borrowing Base for the 2012 calendar year.
