the Company set forth in this Section 3.2(a) require the Company to cooperate with respect to the calling and holding of more than two special meetings of the Company’s stockholders to effect the Charter Amendment
Proposals or the LTIP Proposal, as applicable. The Stockholders shall vote, and shall cause each of their Affiliates to vote, all of their shares of Common Stock in favor of any such proposal or action in furtherance of any Charter Amendment
Proposal or the LTIP Proposal.

(on a fully diluted basis, including equity securities exercisable into Common Stock, and on a combined basis) shown below, the Company shall, and the Stockholders shall take all Necessary Action to, include in the slate of nominees recommended by
the Board for election as directors at each applicable annual or special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected that number of individuals designated by EnerVest that, if elected, will result in EnerVest having the number of
directors serving on the Board that is shown below. In the event that EnerVest shall be entitled to designate only one director, such director may be, but shall not be required to be, an “independent director” under NYSE Rules.

the Board for election as directors at each applicable annual or special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected that number of individuals designated by TPG that, if elected, will result in TPG having the number of directors
serving on the Board that is shown below. In the event that TPG shall be entitled to designate only one director, such director may be, but shall not be required to be, an “independent director” under the NYSE Rules. For purposes of
calculating the Percent of Initial TPG Share Ownership Owned below, if TPG holds Sponsor Warrants that expire pursuant to their terms while held by TPG, then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Sponsor Warrants

designate a replacement director, and the Company and the Sponsors shall not be required to take any action to cause any vacancy to be filled by any such designee, to the extent that election or
appointment of such designee to the Board would result in a number of directors designated by such Sponsor in excess of the number of directors that such Sponsor is then entitled to designate for membership on the Board pursuant to this Agreement.

 (h) Forced Resignation. Each Sponsor shall take all Necessary Action to cause any of its Sponsor Directors, to resign promptly from
the Board if such Sponsor Director, as determined by the Board in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel, (i) is prohibited or disqualified from serving as a director of the Company under any rule or regulation of the SEC, the

a new Sponsor Director, such newly named Sponsor Director to be appointed promptly to the Board in place of the resigning Sponsor Director in the manner set forth in the Company’s governing documents for filling vacancies on the Board and in
Section 2.2(g). Nothing in this paragraph (h) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall confer any third-party beneficiary or other rights upon any person designated hereunder as a Sponsor Director, whether during or after
such person’s service on the Board.

for election to the Board. Subject to applicable Laws and the NYSE Rules, if a TPG Director is a member of the Nominating and Governance Committee, such TPG Director shall be the chairman thereof. 

Section 3.3 The Company shall reimburse any Stockholder for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of any Necessary Action required to be taken under the foregoing provisions of Section 3.2.

the intention of the Parties with respect to the composition of the Board as herein stated. Each Stockholder agrees to cast all votes to which such Stockholder is entitled in respect of its shares of Common Stock, whether at any annual or special

under the Exchange Act relating to ownership of Common Stock, or (ii) that would result in a Person (together with its Affiliates and associates) acquiring beneficial ownership of 

  
 11 

 
such number of shares of Common Stock that, when combined with the number of shares beneficially owned thereby immediately prior to such sale or transaction, will cause such Person to
beneficially own in excess of 15% of the Common Stock outstanding at such time, unless in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), such Person agrees in writing to be bound by substantially the same obligations as such Stockholder is bound by
pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Sponsor Director shall not be deemed to be interested for purposes of this Section 3.6(a) solely as a result of the fact that such Sponsor Director was appointed
by a Sponsor. The foregoing restrictions of this Section 3.6(a) shall not apply to (x) any Underwritten Shelf Takedown, Block Trade, or Transfers of shares of Common Stock included on a Piggyback Registration Statement

Subsidiaries to which any Stockholder (or any of its Affiliates) may be bound (including the Registration Rights Agreement), each Stockholder shall be permitted to Transfer shares of Common Stock to a Permitted Transferee of such Stockholder
following notice of such transfer to the Company and if at the time of and as a condition to such Transfer, such Permitted Transferee agrees to become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering such documents as may be necessary to make
such Transferee a party hereto, whereupon such Transferee will be treated as a Stockholder (with the same rights and obligations as its Transferring Stockholder) for all purposes of this Agreement. 

(c) In the event that any Affiliate of any Stockholder acquires shares of Common Stock (pursuant to the
Non-Compete Agreement or otherwise), such Stockholder shall cause such Affiliate to agree to become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering such documents as may be necessary to make such
Affiliate a party hereto, whereupon such Affiliate will be treated as a Stockholder (with the same rights and obligations as its Affiliated Stockholder) for all purposes of this Agreement. This Section 3.6(c) shall not
apply to any Affiliate of any Stockholder who is a natural person (other than John Walker). 
 (d) Any attempted transaction in violation of
this Section 3.4 shall be null and void. 
 Section 3.7 Sharing of Information. Each Stockholder
recognizes that it, or its Affiliates and Representatives, has acquired or will acquire confidential, non-public information (“Confidential Information”) about the Company and its Subsidiaries
the use or disclosure of which could cause the Company substantial loss and damages that could not be readily calculated and for which no remedy at law would be adequate. Accordingly, each Stockholder covenants and agrees with the Company that it
will not (and will cause its respective Affiliates and Representatives not to) at any time, except with the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, disclose any Confidential Information known to it, unless (i) such
information becomes known to the public through no fault of such Stockholder, (ii) disclosure is required by applicable Law or court of competent jurisdiction or requested by a Governmental Entity, provided that such Stockholder promptly
notifies the Company of such disclosure and takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure, (iii) such information does not relate to the assets, business or liabilities that were contributed or sold to the
Company at the Closing and was available or becomes available to such Stockholder before, on or after the date hereof, without 

  
 12 

 
restriction, from a source (other than the Company) without any breach of duty to the Company or (iv) such information was independently developed by the Stockholder or its representatives
without the use of the Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent permitted by antitrust, competition or any other applicable Law, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit a Stockholder from disclosing
Confidential Information to any Affiliate, Representative, limited partner, member or shareholder of such Stockholder; provided, that such Stockholder shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 3.7 by any
such person. 
 Section 3.8 Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the directors for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at meetings of the Board and any committees thereof, including travel, lodging and meal expenses. 

Section 3.9 Indemnity Agreements. Simultaneously with any person becoming a Sponsor Director, the Company shall execute and
deliver to each such Sponsor Director an Indemnity Agreement dated the date such Sponsor Director becomes a director of the Company. 

Section 3.10 Chief Executive Officer Succession. The Company shall consult with each Sponsor with respect to candidates for
successor to the Chief Executive Officer. 
 ARTICLE IV 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 

Section 4.1 Assignment; Benefit. The rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable without the prior written consent of
the other Parties except as provided in Section 3.6. Any such assignee may not again assign those rights, other than in accordance with this Article IV. Any attempted assignment of rights or
obligations in violation of this Article IV shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and there shall
be no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement other than the Sponsor Directors under Section 3.9. 

Section 4.2 Freedom to Pursue Opportunities. Subject to any other agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to which
any Stockholder (or any of its Affiliates) or any Sponsor Director may be bound (including the Non-Compete Agreement), the Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that: (i) each Stockholder and Sponsor
Director (and each Affiliate thereof) has the right to, and shall have no duty (contractual or otherwise) not to, (x) directly or indirectly engage in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, including those deemed to be competing with the Company or any of their Subsidiaries, or (y) directly or indirectly do business with any client or customer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (ii) in the event that
a Stockholder or Sponsor Director (or any Affiliate thereof) acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and such Stockholder or any other Person, the
Stockholder and Sponsor Director (and any such Affiliate) shall have no duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Company or any of their Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and, notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shall not be liable to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates or Stockholders for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of the fact that such Stockholder or Sponsor
Director (or such Affiliate thereof), directly or indirectly, pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person, or does not present such opportunity to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 

  
 13 

 Section 4.3 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically (without
any action by any Party) as to each Stockholder upon the later of the time at which such Stockholder or any of its Affiliates no longer has the right to designate an individual for nomination to the Board under this Agreement; provided,
that the provisions in Section 3.6 and this Article IV shall survive such termination; provided, further, this Agreement shall terminate automatically (without any action by any Party) on
December 31, 2022. 
 Section 4.4 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or
incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated
hereby is not affected in any adverse manner to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to
effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible. 

Section 4.5 Entire Agreement; Amendment. 

(a) This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein
and supersedes and replaces any prior understanding, agreement or statement of intent, in each case written or oral, of any kind and every nature with respect hereto. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived in whole or in
part at any time without the express written consent of the Company and the Stockholders. Except as set forth above, there are no other agreements with respect to the governance of the Company between any Stockholders or any of their Affiliates.

 (b) No waiver of any breach of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless such waiver is expressly made in writing and
executed and delivered by the party against whom such waiver is claimed. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any
other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in
equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. 

Section 4.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof shall be
deemed to be an original instrument, but all of such counterparts shall constitute for all purposes one agreement. Any signature hereto delivered by a Party by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be deemed an original signature hereto.
No Party shall be bound until such time as all of the Parties have executed counterparts of this Agreement.

 Section 4.7 Notices. All notices and communications required or permitted to be
given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, or sent by overnight courier or mailed by certified or registered United States Mail with all postage fully prepaid, or sent by electronic mail (“email”)

Indebtedness, Disposition, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, prepayment, redemption or the consummation of any other transaction meets the criteria of one, or more than one, of the categories permitted pursuant to Article 9 or
Article 10 (including in connection with any Incremental Increase), as applicable, the Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, determine under which category such Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Asset Sale, Restricted Payment, Affiliate
transaction, prepayment, redemption or the consummation of any other transaction (or, in each case, any portion thereof) is permitted. 

Section 1.12 Pro Forma and Other Calculations. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, financial ratios and tests, including the Consolidated Total Debt to EBITDAX Ratio and the
Consolidated Current Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.12; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (b), (c) or (d) of this
Section 1.12, when calculating the Consolidated Total Debt to EBITDAX Ratio or the Consolidated Current Ratio, as applicable, for purposes of Section 10.11 (other than for the purpose of
determining pro forma compliance with Section 10.11), the events described in this Section 1.12 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro
forma effect. In addition, whenever a financial ratio or test is to be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, the reference to the “Test Period” for purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test shall be deemed to be a reference to,
and shall be based on, the most recently ended Test Period for which internal financial statements of the Borrower (or applicable Parent Entity, as applicable) are available (as determined in good faith by the Borrower). 

(b) For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test or compliance with any covenant determined by reference to Consolidated EBITDAX (or
Consolidated Total Assets), Specified 

  
 55 

 
Transactions (with any incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith to be subject to clause (d) of this Section 1.12) that have been
made (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) if applicable as described in clause (a) above, subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is
made, shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDAX and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had
occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period (or, in the case of Consolidated Total Assets, on the last day of the applicable Test Period). If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a
Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment
pursuant to this Section 1.12, then such financial ratio or test (or Consolidated Total Assets) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.12;
provided that with respect to any pro forma calculations to be made in connection with any acquisition or investment in respect of which financial statements for the relevant target are not available for the same Test Period for which
internal financial statements of the Borrower are available, the Borrower shall determine such pro forma calculations on the basis of the available financial statements (even if for differing periods) or such other basis as determined on a
commercially reasonable basis by the Borrower. 
 (c) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro
forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings,
operating expense reductions and synergies projected by the Borrower in good faith to result from, or relating to, any Specified Transaction (including the Transactions and, for the avoidance of doubt, acquisitions and investments occurring prior to
the Effective Date) which is being given pro forma effect that have been realized or are expected to be realized and for which the actions necessary to realize such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies are taken, committed
to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (in the good faith determination of the Borrower) (calculated on a Pro Forma Basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and
synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies were realized during the entirety of such period) and “run-rate”
means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (including any savings expected to result from the
elimination of a public target’s Public Company Costs) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions; provided that (A) such amounts are reasonably identifiable (in the good faith determination
of the Borrower), (B) such actions are taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken no later than eighteen (18) months after the date of such Specified Transaction (or
actions undertaken or implemented prior to the consummation of the Specified Transaction), (C) no amounts shall be added pursuant to this clause (c) to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing
Consolidated EBITDAX (or any other components thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period and (D) it is understood and agreed that subject to compliance with the other provisions of
Section 1.12(c), amounts to be included in pro forma calculations pursuant to this Section 1.12 may be included in Test Periods in which the Specified Transaction to which such amounts
related is no longer being given pro forma effect pursuant to Section 1.12(b). 
 (d) In the event that
(w) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement, discharge, defeasance or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred
or repaid under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and not replaced), (x) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Stock or (y) any

  
 56 

 
Restricted Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Preferred Stock, (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or
simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness or such issuance, refinancing or
redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.12 or in any classification under GAAP of any Person,
business, assets or operations in respect of which a definitive agreement for the disposition thereof has been entered into, at the election of the Borrower, no pro forma effect shall be given to any discontinued operations (and the Consolidated
EBITDAX or Consolidated Total Assets attributable to any such Person, business, assets or operations shall not be excluded for any purposes hereunder) until such disposition shall have been consummated. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Credit Document to the contrary, in the event any Lien, Indebtedness, Disposition,
Investment, Restricted Payment, transaction, action, judgment or amount under any provision in this Agreement or any other Credit Document (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more than one of the categories of permitted Baskets
under this Agreement (including within any defined terms), including any Fixed Basket or Non-Fixed Basket, as applicable, the Borrower shall be permitted, in its sole discretion, at the time of incurrence to
divide and classify and to later, at any time and from time to time, re-divide and re-classify (including to re-classify
utilization of any Fixed Basket as being incurred under any Non-Fixed Basket or other Fixed Basket or utilization of any Non-Fixed Basket as being incurred under any
Fixed Basket or other Non-Fixed Basket) on one or more occasions (based on circumstances existing on the date of any such re-division and
re-classification) any such Lien, Indebtedness, Disposition, Investment, Restricted Payment, transaction, action, judgment or amount, in whole or in part, among one or more than one applicable Baskets under
this Agreement (in the case of re-classification or re-division, so long as the amount so re-classified or re-divided is permitted at the time of such re-classification or re-division to be incurred pursuant to the applicable Basket into
which such amount is re-classified or re-divided at such time). For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Lien, Indebtedness, Disposition, Investment, Restricted
Payment, transaction, action, judgment or other amount that shall be allocated to each such Basket shall be determined by the Borrower at the time of such division, classification, re-division or re-classification, as applicable. For all purposes hereunder, (x) “Fixed Basket” shall mean any Basket that is subject to a fixed-Dollar limit (including Baskets based on a percentage of
Consolidated EBITDAX or Consolidated Total Assets) and (y) “Non-Fixed Basket” shall mean any Basket that is subject to compliance with a financial ratio or test (including any Basket requiring
compliance with the Leverage Ratio Covenant on a Pro Forma Basis) (any such ratio or test, a “Financial Incurrence Test”). 

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Credit Document to the contrary, with respect to any amounts incurred, or transactions
entered into or consummated, in reliance on a Fixed Basket substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a Non-Fixed Basket, it is understood
and agreed that such amounts incurred in reliance on any applicable Fixed Basket (and any cash proceeds thereof) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the
Non-Fixed Basket in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence; provided that full pro forma effect shall be given to all applicable and related transactions (including the use of proceeds
of all applicable Indebtedness incurred and any repayments, repurchases and redemptions of Indebtedness) and all other adjustments as to which pro forma effect may be given under this Section 1.12. 

  
 57 

 (h) If any Lien, Indebtedness, Disposition, Investment, Restricted Payment, transaction,
action, judgment or amount (or any portion thereof) is incurred, issued, taken or consummated in reliance on any Basket which is to be measured as of the date of such incurrence, issuance or consummation by reference to a percentage of Consolidated
EBITDAX or Consolidated Total Assets as of such date, then the Credit Parties shall not be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if such Lien, Indebtedness, Disposition, Investment, Restricted Payment, transaction, action, judgment or amount,
would exceed such Basket if calculated based on the Consolidated EBITDAX or Consolidated Total Assets, as applicable, as of a later date (including the date of any Refinancing). 

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Credit Document to the contrary, when (a) calculating any applicable Financial
Incurrence Test, the amount or availability under any Basket, (b) determining (x) compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) has occurred, is
continuing or would result therefrom, (y) compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires compliance with any representations and warranties set forth or referenced herein or (z) the satisfaction of any other conditions
precedent to the making of dispositions, acquisitions and investments, the incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, the incurrence of Liens, repayments of Indebtedness, the making of Restricted Payments and/or
the designation of a Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary, in each case under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), in connection with the incurrence of any Limited Condition Transaction, the date of
determination of such Financial Incurrence Test, availability under any Basket or other provisions, determination of whether any Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) has occurred, is continuing or would result
therefrom, determination of compliance with any representations or warranties or the satisfaction of any other conditions shall, at the option of the Borrower (in its sole discretion) (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option, an
“LCT Election,” which LCT Election may be in respect of one or more of clauses (a), (b)(x), (b)(y) and (b)(z) above), be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements (or other relevant definitive
documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (or, in the case of (x) any redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, the date on which notice with respect to such
Limited Condition Transactions is sent or (y) any Restricted Payment, the date of declaration thereof) (such date, the “LCT Test Date”). If, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction, any Indebtedness
or other transaction in connection therewith and any actions or transactions related thereto and any related pro forma adjustments, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such actions or consummate such
transactions on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such Baskets or other provisions (and any related requirements and conditions), such provisions (and any related requirements and conditions) shall be deemed to have been complied with
(or satisfied) for all purposes; provided, that (A) if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters shall have become available, the Borrower may elect, in its sole discretion, to
re-determine availability under such Baskets or other provisions on the basis of such financial statements, in which case, such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable LCT Test
Date for purposes of such Baskets or other provisions, (B) if the Borrowing Base shall have been subsequently re-determined or adjusted, the Borrower may elect, in its sole discretion, to re-determine availability under such Baskets or other provisions on the basis of such redetermined or adjusted Borrowing Base, in which case, such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the
applicable LCT Test Date for purposes of such Baskets or other provisions, and (C) compliance with such Baskets or other provisions (and any related requirements and conditions) shall not be determined or tested at any time after the applicable
LCT Test Date for such Limited Condition Transaction, any Indebtedness or other transaction incurred in connection therewith and any actions or transactions related thereto (unless, for the avoidance of doubt, otherwise elected by the Borrower in
its sole discretion in accordance with the foregoing clause (A)). 
 (j) For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT
Election, (1) if any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time after the LCT Test Date have been exceeded or otherwise failed to have been complied with as

  
 58 

 
a result of fluctuations in any such Financial Incurrence Test or Basket, including due to fluctuations in the Borrowing Base, Consolidated EBITDAX or Consolidated Total Assets of the Borrower or
the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded or failed to have been complied with as a result of such fluctuations, (2) if any related requirements and
conditions (including as to the absence of any (or any type of) continuing Default or Event of Default and satisfaction of any representations and warranties) for which compliance or satisfaction was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date
would at any time after the LCT Test Date not have been complied with or satisfied (including due to the occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default, failure to satisfy any representations and warranties or any re-determination or adjustment of the Borrowing Base), such requirements and conditions will not be deemed to have been failed to be complied with or satisfied (and such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed
not to have occurred or be continuing and such representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been satisfied) and (3) in calculating the availability under any Financial Incurrence Test or Basket in connection with any action or
transaction following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or date for redemption, purchase or repayment specified in an
irrevocable notice or declaration for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Financial Incurrence Test or Basket (excluding, for the
avoidance of doubt, any calculation, determination or re-determination of the Borrowing Base) shall be determined or tested giving pro forma effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or
transactions related thereto. 
 Section 1.13 LIBOR Discontinuation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be amended to replace the LIBOR Rate with (a) a successor or alternative index rate as the Administrative Agent (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any
other Lender) and the Borrower may reasonably determine, so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the Administrative Agent provides notice of such alternate rate of interest
to the Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that such Majority Lenders object to such determination or (b) absent such mutual selection by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, a comparable successor or alternative
interbank rate for deposits in Dollars that is, at such time, broadly accepted as the prevailing market practice for syndicated leveraged loans of this type in lieu of the “LIBOR Rate” as reasonably determined by the Administrative
Agent; provided that (i) any such successor or alternative rate shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in a manner consistent with market practice and (ii) to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible
for the Administrative Agent, such successor or alternative rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower. 

ARTICLE 2 
 AMOUNT AND
TERMS OF CREDIT 
 Section 2.1 Commitments. 

(a) (i) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make a loan or
loans denominated in Dollars (each an “Initial Loan” and, collectively, the “Initial Loans”) to the Borrower, which Loans (i) shall be made at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and
prior to the Termination Date, (ii) may, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or LIBOR Loans; provided that all Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing
shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Loans of the same Type, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not, for any Lender at any time, after giving effect

  
 59 

 
thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in such Lender’s Total Exposure at such time exceeding such Lender’s Commitment Percentage at such time of the Loan Limit,
(v) shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in the aggregate amount of all Lenders’ Total Exposures at such time exceeding the Loan Limit and (vi) in the case of the Effective Date
Loans made on the Effective Date, shall not exceed $385,000,000 in aggregate principal amount (for the avoidance of doubt, no Loans other than the Effective Date Loans shall be made on the Effective Date). 

(ii) Each Lender may at its option make any LIBOR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such
Loan, provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan and (ii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize any increased costs
to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of the Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it determines
would be otherwise disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.10 shall apply). 

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Swingline Lender in its individual capacity agrees, at any time and from
time to time on and after the Effective Date and prior to the Swingline Maturity Date, to make a loan or loans (each a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower in Dollars, which
Swingline Loans (i) shall be ABR Loans, (ii) shall have the benefit of the provisions of Section 2.1(c), (iii) shall not exceed at any time outstanding the Swingline Commitment, (iv) shall not, after giving
effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result at any time in the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Total Exposure at such time exceeding the Loan Limit then in effect and (v) may be repaid and reborrowed in
accordance with the provisions hereof. Each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be repaid in full on the earlier of (a) five (5) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is initially borrowed and (b) the Swingline Maturity Date;
provided, that on each date a Loan is borrowed, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding. The
Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after receiving a written notice from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent stating that an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received
written notice of (i) rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or (ii) the waiver of such Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1. 

(c) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to each Lender that all then-outstanding Swingline Loans
shall be funded with a Borrowing of Loans, in which case Loans constituting ABR Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by each Lender pro rata based on
each Lender’s Commitment Percentage, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Loans upon
one (1) Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified to it in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) that the
amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for each Borrowing specified in Section 2.2, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Article 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a
Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, (v) any reduction in the Total Commitment after any such Swingline Loans were made or (vi) any other event, circumstance or
condition whatsoever, whether or not similar to the foregoing. In the event that, in the sole judgment of each Swingline Lender, any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the
commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Borrower), each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from the Swingline Lender (without recourse or warranty)

  
 60 

 
such participation of the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Commitment Percentages;
provided that all principal and interest payable on such Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date the respective participation is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation,
shall be payable to such Lender purchasing same from and after such date of purchase. 
 Section 2.2 Minimum Amount of Each
Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing shall be in a minimum amount of at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Type of Loans and in a multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and Swingline
Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 and in a multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof (except that Mandatory Borrowings shall be made in the amounts required by Section 2.1(c) and Loans to reimburse the applicable
Issuing Bank with respect to any Unpaid Drawing shall be made in the amounts required by Section 3.3 or Section 3.4, as applicable). More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any date;
provided, that at no time shall there be outstanding more than ten Borrowings of LIBOR Loans under this Agreement. 

Section 2.3 Notice of Borrowing. 

(a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Loans (other than Swingline Loans, Mandatory Borrowings or borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings), the
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, (i) prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in
writing) of each Borrowing of Loans if such Loans are to be initially LIBOR Loans (or prior to 12:00 p.m. noon (New York City time) three (3) Business Days prior written notice in the case of a Borrowing of Loans to be made on the Effective
Date initially as LIBOR Loans) and (ii) written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of each Borrowing of Loans that are to be ABR Loans. Such notice (together with
each notice of a Borrowing of Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(b), a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing,
(B) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (C) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of ABR Loans and/or LIBOR Loans and, if LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto (if no
Interest Period is selected, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration). The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in
writing) of each proposed Borrowing of Loans, of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing. 

(b) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, it shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic
notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Swingline Loans prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing. Each such notice shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be
made pursuant to such Borrowing and (ii) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). The Administrative Agent shall promptly give the Swingline Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each
proposed Borrowing of Swingline Loans and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing. 
 (c) Mandatory Borrowings shall
be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.1(c), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in such Section. 

(d) Borrowings to reimburse Unpaid Drawings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 3.4(a). 

  
 61 

 (e) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any
notice it may give hereunder by telephone, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an
Authorized Officer of the Borrower. 
 Section 2.4 Disbursement of Funds. 

(a) No later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (including Mandatory Borrowings), each
Lender will make available its pro rata portion of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below; provided that on the Effective Date, such funds shall be made available by 10:00 a.m. (New York City
time) or such earlier time as may be agreed among the Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent for the purpose of consummating the Transactions; provided, further, that all Swingline Loans shall be made available in the full
amount thereof by the Swingline Lender no later than 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date requested. 
 (b) Each Lender shall make
available all amounts it is to fund to the Borrower under any Borrowing in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars, and the Administrative Agent will (except in the case of
Mandatory Borrowings and Borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings) make available to the Borrower, by depositing or wiring to an account as designated by the Borrower in the Borrowing Notice to the Administrative Agent the aggregate of the amounts so
made available in Dollars. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any such Borrowing (or, with respect to an ABR Loan, the date of such Borrowing prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)) that such
Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent
on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in
fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available such amount to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such
Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the
Administrative Agent in Dollars. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount
was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Overnight Rate or (ii) if
paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans. 

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments
hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill
its commitments hereunder). 
 Section 2.5 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, on the earlier of (X) the
Termination Date and (Y) (i) on the Initial Maturity Date, the then outstanding Initial Loans, (ii) on the relevant maturity date for any Extended Class, all then outstanding Extended Loans in respect of such Extension Series and
(iii) on the Swingline Maturity Date, the then outstanding Swingline Loans. 

  
 62 

 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending
office from time to time under this Agreement. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register
pursuant to Section 13.6(b)(iv), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder (whether such Loan is an Initial Loan,
an Extended Loan or Swingline Loan, as applicable), the Type of each Loan made 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 or the Swingline Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(d) The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this
Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that
the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest)
the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the Register and the Lender’s accounts described in Section 2.5(b), the Register
shall control. 
 Section 2.6 Conversions and Continuations. 

(a) Subject to the penultimate sentence of this clause (a), (i) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all or
a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount (and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof) of the outstanding principal amount of Loans of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and (ii) the Borrower shall have
the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period; provided that (A) no partial conversion of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding
principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, (B) ABR Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the
Administrative Agent has or the Majority Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion, (C) LIBOR Loans may not be continued as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period if an Event of Default is in
existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, and (D) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant
to this Section 2.6 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least (1) three (3) Business Days’, in the case of a continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans or (2) the date of conversion, in the case of a conversion
into ABR Loans, prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted into
or continued and, if such Loans are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto (if no Interest Period is selected, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
(1) month’s duration). The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans. 

  
 63 

 (b) If any Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any
LIBOR Loans and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current Interest Period
into ABR Loans. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in clause (a) above, the Borrower shall be deemed to
have elected to continue such Borrowing of LIBOR Loans into a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans having an interest period of one (1) month, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower may deliver a Notice of Conversion or Continuation pursuant to which the
Borrower elects to irrevocably continue the outstanding principal amount of any Loan subject to an interest rate Hedge Agreement as LIBOR Loans for each Interest Period until the expiration of the term of such applicable Hedge Agreement;
provided that any Notice of Conversion or Continuation delivered pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) shall include a schedule attaching the relevant interest rate Hedge Agreement or related trade confirmation. 

Section 2.7 Pro Rata Borrowings. Each Borrowing of Initial Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata
on the basis of their then applicable Commitment Percentages with respect to the applicable Class. Each Borrowing of Extended Loans under this Agreement shall be granted by the Lenders of the relevant Extension Series thereof pro rata on the
basis of their then-applicable Extended Commitments for the applicable Extension Series. It is understood that (a) no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender
severally but not jointly shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and (b) failure by a Lender to perform any of its obligations
under any of the Credit Documents shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation under any Credit Document. 

Section 2.8 Interest. 

(a) The unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin plus the ABR, in each case, in effect from time to time. 

(b) The unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether
by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin plus the relevant LIBOR Rate, in each case, in effect from time to time. 

(c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or (ii) any other amount payable under the Credit Documents
(including, without limitation, interest payable thereon and premium, if any) shall not be paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount (other than with respect to any such amount payable to a
Defaulting Lender) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (the “Default Rate”) (A) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2.0%, (B) in the case of any
overdue interest, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a) plus 2.0% from and including the date of such non-payment to
the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment) and (C) in the case of any overdue amount not specified in subclause (A) or (B) above, a rate per annum equal to the rate per
annum otherwise payable at such time on ABR Loans. 
 (d) Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing
to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable in Dollars; provided that any Loan 

  
 64 

 
that is repaid on the same date on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Except as provided below, interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears
on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three (3) months, on
each date occurring at three (3)-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, (iii) in respect of each Loan, (A) on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid), (B) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and
(C) after such maturity, on demand. 
 (e) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with
Section 5.5. 
 (f) The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans,
shall promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. 

Section 2.9 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in
respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(a), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower be (i) a one-, two-, three- or
six- or (if available to all the Lenders making such LIBOR Loans as determined by such Lenders in good faith based on prevailing market conditions) a twelve (12)-month period or (ii) any period shorter
than one (1) month (if available to all the Lenders making such LIBOR Loans as determined by such Lenders in good faith based on prevailing market conditions) as requested by the Borrower. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above: 

(a) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any
conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires; 

(b) if any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or begins on a day for
which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period; 

(c) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding
Business Day; provided that, if any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest
Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; and 
 (d) the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect any Interest Period in respect
of any LIBOR Loan if such Interest Period would extend beyond the Maturity Date. 

  
 65 

 Section 2.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc. 

(a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Majority Lenders or (y) in the case of clauses
(ii) and (iii) below, any Lender, shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto): 

(i) on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (A) deposits in the principal amounts of the
Loans comprising such LIBOR Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant market or (B) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Effective Date affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate; or 
 (ii) that a Change
in Law occurring at any time after the Effective Date shall (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Lender, (B) subject any Lender to any Tax (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4, or (ii) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal,
letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or (C) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (in each case,
other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender, which results in the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans or participating in Letters of Credit (in each case hereunder)
increasing by an amount which such Lender reasonably deems material or the amounts received or receivable by such Lender hereunder with respect to the foregoing shall be reduced; or 

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such
Lender in good faith with any Requirement of Law (or would conflict with any such Requirement of Law not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful); 

then, and in any such event, such Lenders (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter
give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case
of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist
(which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans that have not yet been incurred shall
be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, promptly (but no later than fifteen (15) days) after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts
as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for
the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall
take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by applicable Requirements of Law. 

(b) At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or
(iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel

  
 66 

 
such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to
Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each
such LIBOR Loan into an ABR Loan; provided that if more than one Lender are affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b). 

(c) If, after the Effective Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements of any Lender or compliance by any
Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements occurring after the Effective Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s capital or
assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its
parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements), then from time to time, promptly (but in any event no later than fifteen (15) days) after written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a
result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any applicable Requirement of Law as in effect on the Effective Date. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will
be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the
failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of
such notice. 
 Section 2.11 Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by the Borrower to or
for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2 or
13.7, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Article 11 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans is not made on the date specified in a Notice of Borrowing, (c) any ABR Loan is
not converted into a LIBOR Loan on the date specified in a Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any LIBOR Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Loan on the date specified in a Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of
principal of any LIBOR Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, the Borrower shall after the Borrower’s receipt of a written request by such Lender (which
request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent (within fifteen (15) days after such request) for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for
any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits)
actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan. 

Section 2.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of
Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(c), 3.11 or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such
Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation does not cause such Lender or its lending office to suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of
avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in
Section 2.10, 3.11 or 5.4. 

  
 67 

 Section 2.13 Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4 is given by any Lender more than one hundred eighty (180) days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had
knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, Tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under
Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 181st day prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower; provided that if the circumstance
giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such one hundred eighty (180)-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

Section 2.14 Borrowing Base. 

(a) Initial Borrowing Base. For the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the first Redetermination Date, the
amount of the Borrowing Base shall be $550,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowing Base may be subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to Section 2.14(b), (e), (f), (g),
and (h) and Section 9.16. 
 (b) Scheduled and Interim Redeterminations. The Borrowing Base
shall be redetermined semi-annually in accordance with this Section 2.14 (a “Scheduled Redetermination”), and, subject to Section 2.14(d), such redetermined Borrowing Base shall
become effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders on April 1st and October 1st of each year (or as promptly as possible thereafter); provided that the first Scheduled Redetermination
shall occur no earlier than November 1, 2018. In addition, the Borrower may at any time (including prior to the first Scheduled Redetermination date), by notifying the Administrative Agent thereof not more than twice during any period of twelve
(12) consecutive calendar months, and the Administrative Agent, following the first Scheduled Redetermination date on or about November 1, 2018, may, at the direction of the Required Lenders, by notifying the Borrower thereof, one time
during any period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months (provided that such limitation shall not apply to any redetermination requested by the Borrower in connection with any Incremental Increase pursuant to
Section 2.16), in each case, elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined between Scheduled Redeterminations (an “Interim Redetermination”) in accordance with this
Section 2.14. In addition to, and not including and/or limited by the annual Interim Redeterminations allowed above, the Borrower may, by notifying the Administrative Agent thereof, at any time between Scheduled
Redeterminations, request additional Interim Redeterminations of the Borrowing Base in the event it acquires Oil and Gas Properties with Proved Reserves which are to be Borrowing Base Properties having a PV-9
(calculated at the time of acquisition) in excess of 5.0% of the Borrowing Base in effect immediately prior to such acquisition; provided that for purposes of the foregoing, the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary owning Oil and Gas
Properties with Proved Reserves as a Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to constitute an acquisition by the Borrower of Oil and Gas Properties with Proved Reserves. 

(c) Scheduled and Interim Redetermination Procedure. 

(i) Each Scheduled Redetermination and each Interim Redetermination shall be effectuated as follows: Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent
of (A) the Reserve Report and the Reserve Report Certificate, and (B) such other reports, data and supplemental information, including the information provided pursuant to Section 9.14(c), as may, from time to
time, be reasonably requested by the Required Lenders (the Reserve Report, such Reserve Report Certificate and such other reports, data and supplemental information being the “Engineering Reports”), the Administrative Agent shall
evaluate the information contained in the Engineering Reports and shall in good faith propose a new Borrowing Base (the “Proposed Borrowing Base”) based upon such information and such other information (including the status of title
information with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties as described in the Engineering Reports and the existence of any Hedge Agreements or any other Indebtedness) as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate in good faith in accordance with its
usual and customary oil and gas lending criteria as they exist at the particular time. 

  
 68 

 (ii) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Proposed
Borrowing Base (the “Proposed Borrowing Base Notice”): 
 (A) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination,
(1) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.14(a) and (c) in a timely manner, then on or before the March 15th and September 15th
of such year following the date of delivery or (2) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.14(a) and (c) in a timely manner,
then promptly after the Administrative Agent has received complete Engineering Reports from the Borrower and has had a reasonable opportunity to determine the Proposed Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.14(c)(i);
and 
 (B) in the case of an Interim Redetermination, promptly, and in any event, within fifteen (15) days after the
Administrative Agent has received the required Engineering Reports. 
 (iii) Any Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing
Base then in effect must be approved or deemed to have been approved by all Non-Defaulting Lenders in each such Lender’s sole discretion and consistent with each such Lender’s normal and customary
oil and gas lending criteria as they exist at the particular time as provided in this Section 2.14(c)(iii) and any Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved
or be deemed to have been approved by Lenders constituting at least the Required Lenders in each such Lender’s sole discretion and consistent with each such Lender’s normal and customary oil and gas lending criteria as they exist at the
particular time as provided in this Section 2.14(c)(iii). Upon receipt of the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice, each Lender shall have fifteen (15) days to agree with the Proposed Borrowing Base or disagree with the
Proposed Borrowing Base by proposing an alternate Borrowing Base. If at the end of such fifteen (15)-day period, any Lender has not communicated its approval or disapproval in writing to the Administrative
Agent, such silence shall be deemed to be an approval of the Proposed Borrowing Base. If, at the end of such fifteen (15)-day period, all Non-Defaulting Lenders, in the
case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, or the Required Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect, have approved or deemed to
have approved, as aforesaid, then the Proposed Borrowing Base shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in Section 2.14(d). If, however, at the end of such fifteen
(15)-day period, all Non-Defaulting Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, have not approved or deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, then the Administrative
Agent shall promptly thereafter poll the Lenders to ascertain the highest Borrowing Base then acceptable to all Non-Defaulting Lenders (in the case of any increase to the Borrowing Base) or a number of Lenders
sufficient to constitute the Required Lenders (in any other case) and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in Section 2.14(d). 

(d) Effectiveness of a Redetermined Borrowing Base. Subject to Section 2.14(h), after a redetermined Borrowing
Base is approved or is deemed to have been approved by all Non-Defaulting Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.14(c)(iii), the Administrative Agent
shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the amount of the redetermined Borrowing Base (the “New Borrowing Base Notice”), and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective and applicable to the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders: 

  
 69 

 (i) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, (A) if the Administrative Agent shall
have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.14(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, on the April 1st or October 1st, as applicable, following such notice, or
(B) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.14(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on the Business Day next
succeeding delivery of such New Borrowing Base Notice; and 
 (ii) in the case of an Interim Redetermination, on the Business Day next
succeeding delivery of such New Borrowing Base Notice. 
 Subject to Section 2.14(i), such amount shall then
become the Borrowing Base until the next Scheduled Redetermination Date, the next Interim Redetermination Date or the next adjustment to the Borrowing Base under Section 2.14(e), (f), (g) or (h) or
Section 9.16, whichever occurs first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Scheduled Redetermination or Interim Redetermination shall become effective until the New Borrowing Base Notice related thereto is received by the
Borrower in accordance with Section 13.2. 
 (e) Reduction of Borrowing Base Upon Incurrence of Borrowing Base
Reduction Debt. Upon the issuance or incurrence of any Borrowing Base Reduction Debt (other than any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to Refinance such Indebtedness, but (subject to the parenthetical set forth in the definition of
“Borrowing Base Reduction Debt”) only to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to Refinance such Indebtedness does not result in an increase in the principal amount thereof above
(i) the principal amount originally incurred or issued up to the original principal amount of the Refinanced Indebtedness plus (ii) any additional amounts payable in connection with such refinancing, including any accrued interest,
premiums (including reasonable tender premiums), defeasance costs, fees and other expenses), the Borrowing Base then in effect shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of 0.25 multiplied by the stated principal amount of such
Borrowing Base Reduction Debt (without regard to any original issue discount), and the Borrowing Base as so reduced shall become the new Borrowing Base immediately upon the date of such issuance or incurrence, effective and applicable to the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders on such date until the next redetermination or modification thereof hereunder. 

(f) Reduction of Borrowing Base Upon Termination of Hedge Positions. If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall terminate or
create any off-setting positions in respect of any commodity hedge positions (whether evidenced by a floor, put or Hedge Agreement) upon which (i) the Lenders relied in determining the Borrowing Base and
(ii) since the later of (A) the last redetermination date and (B) the last adjustment made pursuant to this clause (f) (the later of (A) and (B), the “Last Borrowing Base Hedge Reduction”), the Borrowing
Base Value of such terminated and/or offsetting positions (after taking into account any other Hedge Agreement executed since the Last Borrowing Base Hedge Reduction, including those executed substantially concurrently with the taking of any such
action) exceeds 5.0% of the then-effective Borrowing Base, then, the Required Lenders shall have the right to adjust the Borrowing Base in an amount equal to the Borrowing Base Value, if any, attributable to such terminated or off-setting hedge positions in the calculation of the then-effective Borrowing Base (after taking into account any other Hedge Agreement executed since the Last Borrowing Base Hedge Reduction, including those
executed substantially concurrently with the taking of any such action) and (if the Required Lenders in fact make any such adjustment) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of the Borrowing Base Value, if any,
attributable to such hedge positions in the calculation of the then-effective Borrowing Base and upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowing Base shall be simultaneously reduced by such amount. 

  
 70 

 (g) Reduction of Borrowing Base Upon Asset Dispositions. If (i) the Borrower or
one of the other Credit Parties Disposes of Oil and Gas Properties or Disposes of any Equity Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary or Minority Investment owning Oil and Gas Properties, (ii) such Disposition described in clause
(i) involves Borrowing Base Properties included in the most recently delivered Reserve Report and (iii) the aggregate Borrowing Base Value of all such Borrowing Base Properties Disposed of since the later of (A) the last
redetermination date and (B) the last adjustment of the Borrowing Base made pursuant to this Section 2.14(g) exceeds 5.0% of the then-effective Borrowing Base, then, after the Administrative Agent has received the
notice required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.4(b) or Section 10.6(i), no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of consummation of any such Disposition, the
Required Lenders shall have the right to adjust the Borrowing Base in an amount equal to the Borrowing Base Value, if any, attributable to such Disposed of Borrowing Base Properties in the calculation of the then-effective Borrowing Base and, if the
Required Lenders in fact make any such adjustment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of the Borrowing Base Value, if any, attributable to such Disposed of Borrowing Base Properties in the calculation of the
then-effective Borrowing Base and upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowing Base shall be simultaneously reduced by such amount. For the purposes of this Section 2.14(g) a “Disposition” of Oil and Gas Properties
shall be deemed to include the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary owning Oil and Gas Properties as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and the Disposition or other transfer of Oil and Gas Properties or the Equity Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary or
Minority Investment owning Oil and Gas Properties to an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 (h) Borrower’s Right to Elect Reduced Borrowing
Base. Within three (3) Business Days of its receipt of a New Borrowing Base Notice, the Borrower may provide written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that specifies for the period from the effective date of the New
Borrowing Base Notice until the next succeeding Scheduled Redetermination Date, the Borrowing Base will be a lesser amount than the amount set forth in such New Borrowing Base Notice, whereupon such specified lesser amount (the “Draw
Limit”) will become the new Borrowing Base. The Borrower’s notice under this Section 2.14(h) shall be irrevocable, but without prejudice to its rights to initiate Interim Redeterminations. 

(i) Administrative Agent Data. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to provide, promptly, and in any event within three
(3) Business Days, following its receipt of a request by the Borrower, an updated Bank Price Deck. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree, upon request, to meet with the Borrower to discuss their evaluation of the reservoir
engineering of the Oil and Gas Properties included in the Reserve Report and their respective methodologies for valuing such properties and the other factors considered in calculating the Borrowing Base. 

Section 2.15 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) Commitment Fees shall
cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to 
 Section 4.1(a); 

(b) The Commitment and Total Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, the Majority Lenders
or the Required Lenders or all Non-Defaulting Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 13.1);
provided that (i) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 13.1 (other than Section 13.1(a)(B)(x)) or requiring the consent of each
affected Lender pursuant to Section 13.1(a)(B)(i) or (ix) shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender (which for the avoidance of doubt would include any change to the Maturity Date applicable to such

  
 71 

 
Defaulting Lender, decreasing or forgiving any principal or interest due to such Defaulting Lender, any decrease of any interest rate applicable to Loans made by such Defaulting Lender (other
than the waiving of post-default interest rates) and any increase in or extension of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) and (ii) any redetermination, whether an increase, decrease or affirmation, of the Borrowing Base shall occur without
the participation of a Defaulting Lender, but the Commitment (i.e., the Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing Base) of a Defaulting Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Defaulting Lender; 

(c) If any Swingline Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then (i) all or any
part of such Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the
Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages; provided that (A) each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Total
Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment Percentage of the Loan Limit of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (B) neither such reallocation nor any
payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any other Lender may have against such
Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender, (ii) to the extent that all or any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s
Swingline Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure cannot, or can only partially, be so reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders, whether by reason of the first proviso in
Section 2.15(c)(i) or otherwise, the Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, Cash
Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause
(i) above), in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.7 for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding, (iii) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.15(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(b) with respect to
such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized (and such fees shall be payable to the Issuing Banks), (iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of
the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.15(c), then the Letter of Credit Fees payable for the account of the Lenders pursuant to
Section 4.1(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitment Percentages and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Swingline Loan fees (if
any) or Letter of Credit Fees to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period that such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit
Exposure is reallocated, or (v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.15(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or
remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 4.1(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to such Issuing Bank
until such Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated; 
 (d) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the
Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank will be required to issue any new Letter of Credit or amend any outstanding Letter of Credit to increase the Stated Amount thereof, alter the drawing terms
thereunder or extend the expiry date thereof, unless each Issuing Bank is reasonably satisfied that any exposure that would result from the exposure to such Defaulting Lender is eliminated or fully covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders or by Cash Collateralization or a combination thereof in accordance with clause (c) above or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, and participating
interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with
Section 2.15(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); 

  
 72 

 (e) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank
agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon, as of the effective date specified in such
notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender and any applicable Cash Collateral shall be promptly returned to the
Borrower and any Letter of Credit Exposure of such Lender reallocated pursuant to Section 2.15(c) shall be reallocated back to such Lender; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the
affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a
Defaulting Lender; and 
 (f) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 11 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 13.8), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent
hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of
Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement;
fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, each Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender
against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a
result of any final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to that
Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Unpaid Drawings, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the relevant
Loans of, and Unpaid Drawings owed to, the relevant Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied in the manner set forth in this Section 2.15(f). Any
payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 3.7 shall be deemed paid to
and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 
 Section 2.16 Increase of Total
Commitment. 
 (a) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.16(b), the Borrower may increase the Total
Commitment then in effect (any such increase an “Incremental Increase”) by increasing the Commitment of a Lender (an “Increasing Lender”) or by causing a Person that at such time is not a Lender to become a Lender
(an “Additional Lender”). 
 (b) Any increase in the Total Commitment shall be subject to the following additional
conditions: 

  
 73 

 (i) such increase shall not be less than $10,000,000 (and increments of $1,000,000 above
that minimum) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; 
 (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
immediately after giving effect to such increase; 
 (iii) no Lender’s Commitment may be increased without the consent of such Lender
and no Issuing Bank’s Maximum Letter of Credit Commitment may be increased without the consent of such Issuing Bank; 
 (iv) the
maturity date of such increase shall be the same as the Maturity Date; 
 (v) for the avoidance of doubt, such increase shall be subject to
the Borrowing Base (which may, subject to and in accordance with Section 2.14(b), be redetermined at the Borrower’s option immediately after giving effect to any acquisition of Borrowing Base Properties); 

(vi) the increase shall be on the exact same terms and pursuant to the exact same documentation applicable to this Agreement (other than with
respect to any arrangement, structuring, upfront or other fees or discounts payable in connection with such Incremental Increase) (provided that the Applicable Margin of the RBL Facility shall be increased to be consistent with that for such
Incremental Increases); and 
 (vii) the Borrower may seek commitments in respect of an Incremental Increase, in its sole discretion, from
either existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) or from additional banks, financial institutions or other institutional lenders or investors who will become Lenders hereunder with
the consent of the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, conditioned or denied). 

(c) Any increase in the Total Commitment shall be implemented using customary documentation (any such documentation, an “Incremental
Agreement”). Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be amended pursuant to an Incremental Agreement, without the consent of Lenders other than the Lenders providing such Incremental
Increase, to the extent necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of an Incremental Increase and (ii) address technical issues relating to funding and payments, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative
Agent to enter into any such Incremental Agreement. 
 Section 2.17 Extension Offers. 

(a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Commitments and related Loans of a given
Class be amended to extend the scheduled Maturity Date thereof and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.17. In order to establish an Extended Class, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the
Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Class) (each, a “Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Class to be
established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Class (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other similar fees payable in connection
therewith that are not generally shared with all relevant Lenders) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Class and (y) be identical to the Commitments and Loans under the Existing Class from which such
Extended Class is to be amended (the “Specified Existing Commitment Class”), except that: (i) the fees with respect to the Extended Commitments of any Extended Class may be different than the fees for

  
 74 

 
the Commitments of such Existing Class, in each case to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (ii) the yield with respect to the Extended Loans of any Extended Class
(whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the yield for the Loans of such Existing Class, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment;
(iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of
such Extended Class); provided that (A) in no event shall the final Maturity Date of any Extended Class of a given Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the Maturity Date of the Existing Class,
(B) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing and (C) any Extended Loans of an Extended Class may participate on a pro rata basis or less than or greater than pro
rata basis in any voluntary repayments or prepayments of principal of the Loans hereunder and on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory repayments or
prepayments of Loans hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Loan Extension Request. Any Class of Loans and Commitments amended pursuant to any Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, an “Extension
Series”) of Extended Commitments and Extended Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Commitments and Extended Loans amended from an Existing Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable
Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Extension Series with respect to an Existing Class. Each request for an Extension Series of Extended Commitments and Extended Loans proposed to be incurred under this
Section 2.17 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (it being understood that the actual principal amount thereof provided by the applicable Lenders may be lower than such minimum
amount) and the Borrower may impose an Extension Minimum Condition with respect to any Loan Extension Request, which may be waived by the Borrower in its sole discretion. 

(b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Loan Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be
agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Class are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.17. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Commitments and Loans of any Existing Class amended into an
Extended Class pursuant to any Loan Extension Request. Any Lender holding a Commitment or Loan under an Existing Class (each, an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans under the
Existing Class subject to such Loan Extension Request amended into Extended Commitments and Extended Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Loan
Extension Request of the amount of its Commitments and Loans under the Existing Class, which it has elected to request be amended into an Extended Class (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the
event that the aggregate principal amount of Commitments and Loans under the Existing Class in respect of which applicable Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Loan Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Commitments and Extended
Loans requested to be extended pursuant to the Loan Extension Request, Commitments and Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Commitments and Extended Loans on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the
Administrative Agent) based on the aggregate principal amount of Commitments and Loans included in each such Extension Election. Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Commitment into an Extended Commitment, such Extended Commitment shall be
treated identically to all Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment Class for purposes of the obligations of a Lender in respect of Swingline Loans under Section 2.1(c) and Letters of Credit under
Article 3, except that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the Swingline Maturity Date and/or the last day for issuing Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Letters of
Credit may be continued (pursuant to mechanics to be specified in the applicable Extension Amendment) so long as the applicable Swingline Lender and/or the applicable Issuing 

  
 75 

 
Bank, as applicable, have consented to such extensions. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Swingline Maturity Date and/or the last day for issuing Letters of Credit may be extended (and the
related obligations to make Swingline Loans or issue Letters of Credit may not be continued) without the express consent of the Swingline Lender or applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable. 

(c) Extended Commitments and Extended Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Extension Amendment”) to
this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Lender providing an Extended Commitment and Extended Loan thereunder (and the Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank, if applicable), which shall be consistent with the
provisions set forth in Sections 2.17(a) and (b) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment.
Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to
(i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Commitment and Extended Loans incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 5.2 to reflect the existence of the Extended
Commitments and Extended Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, (iii) address technical issues relating to funding and payments and (iv) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents
as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.17, and the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent
to enter into any such Extension Amendment. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, no Extension Amendment shall be effective unless (i) all Letter of Credit Exposure will be covered on terms reasonably acceptable to the Issuing
Bank, (ii) all Swingline Exposure will be covered on terms reasonably acceptable to the Swingline Lender and (iii) the Available Commitment shall not exceed the Borrowing Base. 

(d) No conversion of Commitments and Loans pursuant to any extension in accordance with this Section 2.17 shall
constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 3 

LETTERS OF CREDIT 

Section 3.1 Letters of Credit. 

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and prior
to the L/C Maturity Date, each Issuing Bank, severally, and not jointly, agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Article 3, to issue upon the request of the Borrower and for the direct or indirect benefit of
the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, a letter of credit or letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit” and each, a “Letter of Credit”) in such form and with such Issuer Documents as may be approved by the
applicable Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion; provided that the Borrower shall be a co-applicant of, and jointly and severally liable with respect to, each Letter of Credit issued for the
account of a Restricted Subsidiary. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of
which, when added to the Letters of Credit Outstanding at such time, would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment then in effect, (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would cause the aggregate amount of all
Lenders’ Total Exposures at such time to exceed the Loan Limit then in effect, (iii) each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date occurring no later than one (1) year after the date of issuance or such longer period of time as
may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank or as provided under Section 3.2(b); provided that any Letter of Credit may
provide for automatic renewal thereof for 

  
 76 

 
additional periods of up to twelve (12) months or such longer period of time as may be agreed upon by the applicable Issuing Bank, subject to the provisions of
Section 3.2(b); provided, further, that in no event shall such expiration date occur later than the L/C Maturity Date unless arrangements which are reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank to
Cash Collateralize (or backstop) such Letter of Credit have been made, (iv) no Letter of Credit shall be issued if it would be illegal under any applicable Requirement of Law for the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit to have a Letter of
Credit issued in its favor, (v) no Letter of Credit shall be issued by an Issuing Bank after it has received a written notice from any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders stating that a Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing until such time as such Issuing Bank shall have received a written notice (A) of rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering such notice, (B) of the waiver of such Default or
Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1 or (C) that such Default or Event of Default is no longer continuing, (vi) no Issuing Bank shall have an obligation to issue a Letter of Credit in
a Stated Amount which, when added to the outstanding Letters of Credit issues by such Issuing Bank, would exceed such Issuing Bank’s Maximum Letter of Credit Commitment, and (vii) without the consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, no
Letter of Credit shall be issued in any currency other than Dollars. 
 (c) Upon at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written
notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the applicable Lenders), the Borrower shall have the
right, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment in whole or in part; provided that, after giving effect to such termination or reduction, the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the Letter of
Credit Commitment. 
 Section 3.2 Letter of Credit Applications. 

(a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued, amended or renewed for its account on its own behalf, or on behalf of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative
Agent a Letter of Credit application, amendment request or any such document as may be approved by the applicable Issuing Bank (each, a “Letter of Credit Application”). Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Application or amendment
request, (A) the applicable Issuing Bank will use its best efforts to process such Letter of Credit Application on the Business Day on which such Letter of Credit Application is received, provided that such Letter of Credit Application
is received no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (B) otherwise, the first Business Day next succeeding receipt of such Letter of Credit Application. No Issuing Bank shall issue any Letters of Credit unless such
Issuing Bank shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent that the conditions to such issuance have been met. 
 (b) If the
Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve (12)-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such
Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve (12)-month period to be agreed upon at the time
such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been
issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Maturity Date; provided,
however, that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (i) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of

  
 77 

 
Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (b) of Section 3.1 or otherwise), or (ii) it has
received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Article 7 are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension. 

(c) Each Issuing Bank (other than the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates) shall, at least once each week, provide the Administrative
Agent with a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time; provided that, upon written request from the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank shall thereafter notify the Administrative Agent in writing on
each Business Day of all Letters of Credit issued on the prior Business Day by such Issuing Bank. 
 Section 3.3 Letter of Credit
Participations. 
 (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to
have sold and transferred to each Lender (each such Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3, an “L/C Participant”), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to
have purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage, in each
Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. 

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the L/C
Participants other than to confirm that (i) any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered, (ii) such Issuing Bank has examined the documents with reasonable care and (iii) the documents appear
to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), shall not create for such Issuing Bank any resulting liability. 

(c) In the event that an Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have repaid such
amount in full to such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each L/C Participant of such failure, and each such L/C Participant shall promptly and
unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, the amount of such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Each L/C Participant
shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day
after the date notified by such Issuing Bank in immediately available funds. If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the relevant Issuing Bank, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date
such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time then in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily
charged by such Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing. The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Bank its Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit
shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of 

  
 78 

 
such Issuing Bank its Commitment Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any
other L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent such other L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of any such payment. 

(d) Whenever an Issuing Bank receives a payment in respect of an unpaid reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has
received for the account of such Issuing Bank any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each L/C
Participant that has paid its Commitment Percentage of such reimbursement obligation, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally
funded by such L/C Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all L/C Participants) of the principal amount so paid in respect of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective L/C Participations
at the Overnight Rate. 
 (e) The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of an
Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including under any of the following circumstances: 
 (i) any lack
of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower or any other Person (including an L/C Participant) may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or
any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated
transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit); 
 (iii)
any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or 

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or 

(vi) any other event, condition of circumstance, whether or not similar to the foregoing. 

Section 3.4 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. 

(a) The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank by making payment in Dollars or to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Issuing Bank (whether with its own funds or with proceeds of the Loans) in immediately available funds, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount so paid until
reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”) within one (1) Business Day following the date on which such Issuing 

  
 79 

 
Bank provides written notice to the Borrower of such payment or disbursement (such required date for reimbursement on such Business Day (the “Reimbursement Date”)), with interest
on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Bank, from and including the date of such payment or disbursement to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, at the per annum rate for each day equal to the rate described in
Section 2.8(a); provided that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Letter of Credit, (i) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and
such Issuing Bank prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date that the Borrower intends to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to
have given a Notice of Borrowing requesting that the Lenders make Loans (which shall be ABR Loans) on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount at such drawing, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C
Participant of such drawing and the amount of its Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each L/C Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a Loan to the Borrower in the manner deemed to have been requested in the amount of its Commitment
Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such Reimbursement Date by making the amount of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent. Such Loans made in respect of such Unpaid Drawing on such
Reimbursement Date shall be made without regard to the Minimum Borrowing Amount and without regard to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 7. The Administrative Agent shall use the proceeds of such Loans solely for purpose
of reimbursing the relevant Issuing Bank for the related Unpaid Drawing. In the event that the Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the L/C Maturity Date, the full amount of the Letters of Credit
Outstanding in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an Unpaid Drawing subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4 except that such Issuing Bank shall hold the proceeds received from the Lenders as
contemplated above as cash collateral for such Letter of Credit to reimburse any Drawing under such Letter of Credit and shall use such proceeds first, to reimburse itself for any Drawings made in respect of such Letter of Credit following
the L/C Maturity Date, second, to the extent such Letter of Credit expires or is returned undrawn while any such cash collateral remains, to the repayment of obligations in respect of any Loans that have not paid at such time and
third, to the Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 3.4(a) shall affect the Borrower’s obligation to repay all outstanding Loans when due in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.4 to reimburse the
relevant Issuing Bank with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any
set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including in its capacity as an L/C
Participant), including any defense based upon (i) the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit, (ii) any
non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing, (iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision
therein, (iv) 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 or (v) any other event or
circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 3.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the
Borrower’s obligations hereunder; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the relevant Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential
or punitive 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 such 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 Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts
or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), shall be binding on the Borrower 

  
 80 

 
and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Bank to the Borrower; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to
the extent of any direct damages suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such 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 as
determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their
face to be in compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit may in its sole discretion either accept or 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 (unless the Borrower shall consent to payment
thereon not withstanding such lack of strict compliance). 
 Section 3.5 New or Successor Issuing Bank. 

(a) Any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the Borrower. The Borrower may replace any Issuing Bank for any reason upon written notice to such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and may add Issuing Banks at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent. If an Issuing
Bank shall resign or be replaced, or if the Borrower shall decide to add a new Issuing Bank under this Agreement, then the Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders (who have agreed to act as successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Issuing
Bank) a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and such new Issuing Bank, another successor or new issuer of
Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the replaced or resigning Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be granted
the rights, powers and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder, and the term “Issuing Bank” shall mean such successor or such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment. The acceptance of any appointment as an
Issuing Bank hereunder whether as a successor issuer or new issuer of Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall become an “Issuing Bank” hereunder. After the resignation or
replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the resigning or 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 and the other Credit Documents with
respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. In connection with any resignation or replacement pursuant to this clause (a) (but, in case
of any such resignation, only to the extent that a successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have been appointed), either (i) the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall arrange to
have any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor issuer of Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrower shall cause the successor issuer of Letters of
Credit, if such successor issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or resigning Issuing Bank, to issue “back-stop” Letters of Credit naming the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank as beneficiary for each outstanding Letter of
Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank, which new Letters of Credit shall have a Stated Amount equal to the Letters of Credit being back-stopped and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing
on the corresponding back- stopped Letters of Credit. After any resigning or replaced Issuing Bank’s resignation or replacement as Issuing Bank, the provisions of this Agreement relating to an Issuing Bank shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (A) while it was an Issuing Bank under this Agreement or (B) at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. 

  
 81 

 (b) To the extent that there are, at the time of any resignation or replacement as set forth
in clause (a) above, any outstanding Letters of Credit, nothing herein shall be deemed to impact or impair any rights and obligations of any of the parties hereto with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit (including any
obligations related to the payment of fees or the reimbursement or funding of amounts drawn), except that the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have the obligations regarding
outstanding Letters of Credit described in clause (a) above. 
 Section 3.6 Role of Issuing Bank. Each Lender and
the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no Issuing Bank shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to
ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective affiliates nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender for (a) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Majority Lenders, (b) any action taken or
omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct or (c) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes
all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and
remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing
Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.3(e); provided that anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an Issuing Bank,
and such Issuing Bank may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by such Issuing Bank’s
willful misconduct or gross negligence (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) or such Issuing Bank’s unlawful failure (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) to pay under any Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any Issuing Bank may accept documents that
appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no Issuing Bank shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring
or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 

Section 3.7 Cash Collateral. 

(a) Upon the request of the Majority Lenders if, as of the L/C Maturity Date, there are any Letters of Credit Outstanding, the Borrower shall
immediately Cash Collateralize the then Letters of Credit Outstanding. 
 (b) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Majority Lenders may require that the L/C Obligations be Cash Collateralized; provided that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in Section 11.5 with respect to the Borrower, the Borrower shall
immediately Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit then outstanding and no notice or request by or consent from the Majority Lenders shall be required. 

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, “Cash Collateralize” shall mean to (i) pledge and deposit with or deliver to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances (“Cash Collateral”) in an amount 

  
 82 

 
equal to the amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding required to be Cash Collateralized (the “Required Cash Collateral Amount”) or (ii) if the relevant Issuing Bank
benefiting from such collateral shall agree in its reasonable discretion, other forms of credit support (including any backstop letter of credit) in a face amount equal to 105% of the Required Cash Collateral Amount from an issuer reasonably
satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, in each case under clause (i) and (ii) above pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank (which documents are
hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the L/C Participants, a security interest in all such cash,
deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Such cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts established by and in the name of the Borrower, but under the “control” (as
defined in Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 3.8
Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the relevant Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (a) the rules of the ISP or the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits shall
apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (b) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial
Letter of Credit. 
 Section 3.9 Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the
terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control. 
 Section 3.10 Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted
Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank
hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s
business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 Section 3.11 Increased Costs. If,
after the Effective Date, the adoption of any Change in Law shall either (a) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank, or any L/C
Participant’s L/C Participation therein, or (b) impose on any Issuing Bank or any L/C Participant any other conditions, costs or expenses affecting its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations
therein or any Letter of Credit or such L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Issuing Bank or such L/C Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any
Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Issuing Bank or such L/C Participant hereunder (other than (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4, or (ii) Excluded Taxes) in
respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein, then, promptly (and in any event no later than fifteen (15) days) after receipt of written demand to the Borrower by such Issuing Bank or such L/C Participant, as the case may be (a
copy of which notice shall be sent by such Issuing Bank or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Issuing Bank or such L/C Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Bank
or such L/C Participant for such increased cost or reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that no Issuing Bank or L/C Participant shall be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Person’s compliance with, or pursuant to
any request or directive to comply with, any such Requirement of Law as in effect on the Effective Date. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by the relevant Issuing Bank or an L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate
shall be sent by such Issuing Bank or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Bank or such L/C
Participant as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error.

 ARTICLE 4 

FEES; COMMITMENTS. 

Section 4.1 Fees. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of each Lender (in each case pro rata according
to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders), a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for each day from the Effective Date until but excluding the Termination Date. Each Commitment Fee shall be payable by the Borrower
quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (for the three (3)-month period (or portion thereof) ended on such day for which no payment has been received) and on the Termination Date (for the period
ended on such date for which no payment has been received pursuant to clause (i) above), and shall be computed for each day during such period at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day on the
Available Commitment (assuming for this purpose that there is no reference to “Swingline Exposure” in the definition of Total Exposure) in effect on such day. 

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their
respective Letter of Credit Exposure, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit until the termination or expiration date of such Letter
of Credit computed at the per annum rate for each day equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Such Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable (i) quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Termination Date (for the period for which no payment has been received pursuant to clause (i) above). 

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Fronting
Fee”), for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the termination or expiration date of such Letter of Credit, computed at the rate for each day equal to 0.125% per annum (or such other amount as may be
agreed in a separate writing between the Borrower and the relevant Issuing Bank) on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit (or at such other rate per annum as agreed in writing between the Borrower and the relevant Issuing
Bank). Such Fronting Fees shall be due and payable by the Borrower (i) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Termination Date (for the period for which no payment has been
received pursuant to clause (i) above). 
 (d) The Borrower agrees to pay directly to each Issuing Bank upon each issuance of,
drawing under, and/or amendment of, a Letter of Credit issued by it such amount as the relevant Issuing Bank and the Borrower shall have agreed upon for issuances of, drawings under or amendments of, letters of credit issued by it. 

(e) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the administrative agent fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in
writing from time to time between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. 
 Section 4.2 Voluntary Reduction of Commitments.

 (a) Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office (which 

  
 84 

 
notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the
Commitments of any Class, as determined by the Borrower, in whole or in part; provided that (a) with respect to the Commitments, any such termination or reduction shall apply proportionately and permanently to reduce the Commitments of
each of the Lenders of such Class, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) the Borrower may allocate any termination or reduction of Commitments among Classes of Commitments either (A) ratably among Classes or (B) first to the
Commitments with respect to any Existing Commitments and second to any Extended Commitments and (2) in connection with the establishment on any date of any Extended Commitments pursuant to Section 2.17, (i) the
Existing Commitments of each Lender providing any such Extended Commitments on such date shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount of Specified Existing Commitments so extended on such date by such Lender and (ii) the Existing
Commitments of any Lender not providing such Extended Commitments shall be reduced, solely to the extent elected to be reduced by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17, among the Class or Classes of Commitments elected
by the Borrower (provided that (x) after giving effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of any Loans made on such date, the Total Exposure of any such Lender does not exceed the Commitment of such Lender (such Total Exposure
and Commitment in the case of an Extending Lender being determined for purposes of this proviso, for the avoidance of doubt, exclusive of such Extending Lender’s Extended Commitment and any exposure in respect thereof) and (y) for the
avoidance of doubt, any such repayment of Loans contemplated by the preceding clause (x) shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 5.3(a) with respect to the ratable allocation of payments
hereunder, with such allocation being determined after giving effect to any conversion pursuant to Section 2.17 of Existing Commitments and Existing Loans into Extended Commitments and Extended Loans respectively, and prior
to any reduction being made to the Commitment of any other Lender), (b) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be in the amount of at least $1,000,000 and (c) after giving effect to such termination
or reduction and to any prepayments of Loans or cancellation or Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit made on the date thereof in accordance with this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Total Exposures shall not exceed the
Loan Limit. 
 (b) The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than two
(2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.15(f) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the
Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. 
 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any such notice of commitment termination pursuant to Section 4.2 may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or
non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent
on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. 
 Section 4.3 Mandatory Termination of
Commitments. 
 (a) The Total Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Termination Date. 

(b) The Swingline Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the earlier of (x) the Swingline Maturity Date and
(y) the Termination Date. 

  
 85 

 ARTICLE 5 

PAYMENTS. 

Section 5.1 Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans and Swingline Loans, in each case, without
premium or penalty, in whole or in part from time to time on the following terms and conditions: 
 (a) the Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to make such prepayment, the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of LIBOR Loans) the specific
Borrowing(s) being prepaid, which notice shall be given by the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) (i) in the case of LIBOR Loans, two (2) Business Days prior to and (ii) in the case of ABR Loans on the date of such
prepayment and shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders; 
 (b) each partial prepayment of
(i) LIBOR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or a lesser amount to the extent such lesser amount represents the entire aggregate outstanding LIBOR Loans at such time, and (ii) any
ABR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or a lesser amount to the extent such lesser amount represents the entire aggregate outstanding ABR Loans at such time; provided that no partial
prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount for such LIBOR Loans; and 

(c) any prepayment of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 on any day other than the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto shall be subject to compliance by the Borrower with the applicable provisions of Section 2.11. 
 Each
such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type and Class of Loans to be prepaid. At the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.1, such
prepayment shall not be applied to any Loans of a Defaulting Lender. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any such notice
of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other
credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. 

Section 5.2 Mandatory Prepayments. 

(a) Repayment following Optional Reduction of Commitments. If, after giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Commitments
pursuant to Section 4.2(a), a Loan Limit Deficiency exists, then the Borrower shall on the same Business Day (i) prepay the Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been paid in full, the remaining Loans on
the date of such termination or reduction in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Loan Limit Deficiency and (ii) if any Loan Limit Deficiency remains after prepaying all of the Loans as a result of any Letter of Credit Exposure, pay to
the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Banks and the L/C Participants an amount in cash or otherwise Cash Collateralize an amount equal to such Loan Limit Deficiency as provided in Section 3.7. 

(b) Repayment of Loans Following Redetermination or Adjustment of Borrowing Base. 

  
 86 

 (i) Upon any redetermination of the Borrowing Base in accordance with
Section 2.14(b), if a Loan Limit Deficiency exists, then the Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of a New Borrowing Base Notice indicating such Loan Limit Deficiency, inform the
Administrative Agent that it intends to take one or more of the following actions: (A) within thirty (30) days following such election prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Loan Limit Deficiency, (B) prepay
the Loans in six (6) equal monthly installments, commencing on the 30th day following such election with each payment being equal to l/6th of the aggregate principal amount of such Loan Limit Deficiency (as such Loan Limit Deficiency may be
reduced during such six (6)-month period as a result of any Borrowing Base redetermination or other adjustment to the Borrowing Base described in this Agreement), (C) within thirty (30) days following such election, provide additional Oil and
Gas Properties (accompanied by reasonably acceptable engineering reports) not evaluated in the most recently delivered Reserve Report (which shall become Mortgaged Properties within the time period prescribed by
Section 9.11(d) regardless of whether the Collateral Coverage Minimum is then satisfied) or other Collateral reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent having a Borrowing Base Value (as proposed by the Administrative
Agent and approved by the Required Lenders in good faith in accordance with their respective usual and customary oil and gas lending criteria as they exist at the particular time) sufficient, after giving effect to any other actions taken pursuant
to this Section 5.2(b)(i) to eliminate any such Loan Limit Deficiency, or (D) undertake a combination of clauses (A), (B), and (C); provided that if, because of Letter of Credit Exposure, a
Loan Limit Deficiency remains after prepaying all of the Loans, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such remaining Loan Limit Deficiency as provided in Section 3.7; provided further, that any Loan Limit
Deficiency must be cured on or prior to the Termination Date. 
 (ii) Upon any adjustment to the Borrowing Base pursuant to
Section 2.14(e), (f), (g) or (h) or Section 9.16, if a Loan Limit Deficiency exists, then the Borrower shall (A) prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount
equal to such Loan Limit Deficiency and (B) if any Loan Limit Deficiency remains after prepaying all of the Loans as a result of any Letter of Credit Exposure, Cash Collateralize such Loan Limit Deficiency as provided in
Section 3.7. The Borrower shall be obligated to make such prepayment and/or deposit of cash collateral no later than three (3) Business Days following the date it receives written notice from the Administrative Agent
of the adjustment of the Borrowing Base and the resulting Loan Limit Deficiency; provided that all payments required to be made pursuant to this clause (ii) must be made on or prior to the Termination Date. 

(c) Application to Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Loans elected under Section 5.1 or required by
Section 5.2, the Borrower may designate (i) the Types and Class of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) being repaid and (ii) the Loans to be prepaid; provided that (A) each
prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans, and (B) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (A), no prepayment of Loans shall be applied to the Loans of any
Defaulting Lender unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Borrower. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its
reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11. 
 (d)
LIBOR Interest Periods. In lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 5.2 in respect of any LIBOR Loan, other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor so long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Borrower at its option may deposit, on behalf of the Borrower, with the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loan to be prepaid and such LIBOR Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the
Interest Period therefor in the required amount. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a corporate time deposit account established on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, earning interest at the then
customary rate for accounts of such type. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Such
deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the LIBOR Loans to be so prepaid; provided that the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this
Section 5.2. 

  
 87 

 (e) Application of Proceeds. The application of proceeds pursuant to this
Section 5.2 shall not reduce the aggregate amount of Commitments under the RBL Facility and amounts prepaid may be reborrowed subject to the Available Commitment. 

Section 5.3 Method and Place of Payment. 

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto or the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender entitled thereto, as the case may be,
not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), in each case, on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other office as the Administrative Agent shall specify for such
purpose by notice to the Borrower, it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall
constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. All repayments or prepayments of any Loans (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) hereunder and all other payments under each Credit Document shall be
made in Dollars. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) or, otherwise, on the next Business Day in the
sole discretion of the Administrative Agent) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as applicable, entitled thereto. 

(b) For purposes of computing interest or fees, any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall
be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall
be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension. 

Section 5.4 Net Payments. 

(a) Any and all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made
free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes; provided that if the Borrower, any Guarantor or the Administrative Agent (such applicable Person, the “applicable withholding agent”)
shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings as are reasonably determined by the applicable
withholding agent to be required by any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements
of Law, and (iii) to the extent withholding or deduction is required to be made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower or such Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after all required
deductions and withholdings of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes have been made (including deductions or withholdings of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4) the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. After any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party or
the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as 

  
 88 

 
provided in this Section 5.4, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the
original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 
 (b) The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable Requirements of Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, any Other Taxes (whether or not such Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority). 

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender within fifteen
(15) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4), and any 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 setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error and shall constitute a required notice for purposes of Section 2.13. 

(d) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine
(A) whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Credit Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available
exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Credit Party pursuant to any Credit Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the
applicable jurisdiction. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as
will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.4(d), each Non-U.S. Lender
with respect to any Loan made to the Borrower shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so: 
 (i) deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, two copies of (A) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal
withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or any applicable successor form) (together with a Non-Bank Tax Certificate) representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a “10-percent shareholder” (within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower or Opco Parent, is not a CFC described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code) and the interest payments in question are not effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender of a trade or
business within the United States), (B) IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, or Form W-8ECI
(or any applicable successor form), in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming 

  
 89 

 
complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement, (C) IRS Form W-8IMY (or
any applicable successor form) and all necessary attachments (including the forms described in clauses (A) and (B) above, provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and not
a participating Lender, and one or more of the partners is claiming portfolio interest treatment, a Non-Bank Tax Certificate may be provided by such Non-U.S. Lender on
behalf of such partners) or (D) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed
by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; provided, however, that such other form and supplementary documentation described in this clause (D) (other than forms and
documentation also described in clauses (A), (B), or (C)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender; and 
 (ii) deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification (or any applicable successor form) (A) promptly after such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, invalid or inaccurate in any respect, (B) promptly
after the occurrence of any change in the Non-U.S. Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and
(C) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or promptly notify in writing the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such Non-U.S. Lender’s
legal inability to do so. 
 Each Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 13.6 or a Lender pursuant to
Section 13.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 5.4(e),
Section 5.4(h) and Section 5.4(i); provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Person from which the related
participation shall have been purchased. 
 In addition, each Agent shall deliver to the Borrower (x)(I) prior to the date on which the first
payment by the Borrower is due hereunder or (II) prior to the first date on or after the date on which such Agent becomes a successor Agent pursuant to Section 12.9 on which payment by the Borrower is due hereunder, as
applicable, two copies of either (i) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 certifying its exemption from U.S. Federal backup withholding or (ii) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI (with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf) and IRS Form W-8IMY (certifying that it is either a “qualified intermediary” within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(e)(5) that has assumed primary withholding obligations under the Code, including Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code, or a “U.S. branch” within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) that is treated as a U.S. person for purposes of withholding obligations under the Code) (with respect to any payments received by the Agent on
the account of others), and (y) on or before the date on which any such previously delivered documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously
delivered by it to the Borrower, and from time to time if reasonably requested by the Borrower, two further copies of such documentation (or prompt notification in writing of its legal inability to do so). 

(f) If any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith,
that it has received a refund of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax for which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 5.4), then the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower or such Guarantor for such amount (net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and without interest other than any interest received thereon from the relevant Governmental

  
 90 

 
Authority with respect to such refund) as the Lender, Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith to be the
proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse net after-Tax position (taking into account expenses or any taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if
the payment had not been required; provided that the Borrower or such Guarantor, upon the request of the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or such Guarantor
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in the event the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. In such event, such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of
assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may delete any information therein that it
deems confidential). A Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall claim any refund that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its sole discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. No
Lender nor the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be obliged to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party in connection with this clause
(f) or any other provision of this Section 5.4. 
 (g) If the Borrower determines that a reasonable basis
exists for contesting an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax for which a Credit Party has paid additional amounts or indemnification payments, each Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower as the
Borrower may reasonably request in challenging such Tax. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold each Lender and Agent harmless against any out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by such Person in connection with any request made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.4(g). Nothing in this Section 5.4(g) shall obligate any Lender or Agent to take any action that such
Person, in its sole judgment, determines may result in a material detriment to such Person. 
 (h) Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent two IRS Forms W-9 (or substitute or successor form), properly completed and duly executed, certifying that such U.S. Lender is exempt from United States federal backup
withholding (i) on or prior to the Effective Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, invalid or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) after
the occurrence of a change in the U.S. Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. 
 (i) If a payment made to any Lender or any Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit
Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or such Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the
Code, as applicable), such Lender or such Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such
documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such
payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.4(i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

  
 91 

 (j) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.4,
the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and any Swingline Lender and the term “applicable law” or “Requirement of Law” includes FATCA. 

(k) The agreements in this Section 5.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans
and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 Section 5.5 Computations of Interest and Fees. 

(a) Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, Interest on LIBOR Loans and ABR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a three
hundred sixty (360)-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest on ABR Loans in respect of which the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of the Administrative Agent’s prime rate and interest on
overdue interest shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365)- (or three hundred sixty-six (366)-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. 

(b) Fees and the average daily Stated Amount of Letters of Credit shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360)-day year for the actual days elapsed. 
 Section 5.6 Limit on Rate of Interest. 

(a) No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay
any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect to any of the Obligations in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation. 

(b) Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a
result of Section 5.6(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations. 

(c) Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would
obligate the Borrower or any other Credit Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable Requirement of Law, then notwithstanding such
provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law, such adjustment to be
effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8. 

(d) Rebate of Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any
Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable Requirement of Law, then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that
Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower.

 ARTICLE 8 

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS 

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit as provided for
herein, the Borrower makes, on the date of each Credit Event (but solely, on the Effective Date, to the extent such representations and warranties are required to be true and correct as a condition to Borrowing pursuant to Article 6), the
following representations and warranties to, and agreements with, the Lenders, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit: 

Section 8.1 Corporate Status. Each of the Borrower and each Material Subsidiary of the Borrower (a) is a duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has the corporate or other organizational power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact its business as now conducted and (b) has duly qualified
and is authorized to do business and is in good standing (if applicable) in all jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 8.2 Corporate Power and Authority; Enforceability. Each
Credit Party has the corporate or other organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and 

  
 97 

 
provisions of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Credit
Documents to which it is a party. Each Credit Party has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party and each such Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (whether considered
in a proceeding in equity or law). 
 Section 8.3 No Violation. None of the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit
Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party will (a) contravene any Requirement of Law, except to the extent such contravention would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) result in any breach of

transactions contemplated hereby prepared by or on behalf of the foregoing or their representatives and made available to any Lenders or the Administrative Agent in connection with the Transactions or the other transactions contemplated hereby (with
respect to any Information relating to the Acquired Business or the Ironwood Acquired Interests, to Borrower’s knowledge) did not, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading, taken as a whole, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto). 

  
 98 

 (b) The Projections (with respect to any Projections relating to the Acquired Business or
the Ironwood Acquired Interests, to Borrower’s knowledge) have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable as of the date thereof (it being understood that actual results may vary materially from

other liabilities referenced in this Section 8.10(a), be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to Plans that are Multiemployer Plans, the representations and warranties in this

its Subsidiaries. 
 Section 8.14 Properties. 

(a) Assuming that all applicable Governmental Authorities have granted approvals, made recordations and taken such other actions as are
necessary in connection with the Transactions and any assignments made in connection therewith, except as set forth on Schedule 8.14 hereto, each Credit Party has good and defensible title to the Borrowing Base Properties evaluated in the

(iii) with title defects disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent), and valid title to all its material personal properties, in each case, free and clear of all Liens other than Liens permitted by Section 10.2,
except in each case where the failure to have such title would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. After giving full effect to the Liens permitted by
Section 10.2, (A) the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiary specified as the owner does not fail in any material respects to own the working interests and net revenue interests attributable to the Hydrocarbon Interests as
such working interests and net revenue interests are reflected in the most recently delivered Reserve Report and (B) the ownership of such properties shall not in any material respect obligate the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary to bear
the costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operations of each such property in an amount in excess of the working interest of each property set forth in the most recently delivered Reserve Report that is not offset by a
corresponding proportionate increase in the Borrower’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s net revenue interest in such property. 

(b) All material leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries are valid and
subsisting, in full force and effect, except to the extent that any such failure to be valid or subsisting would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) The rights and properties presently owned, leased or licensed by the Credit Parties including all easements and rights of way, include all
rights and properties necessary to permit the Credit Parties to conduct their respective businesses as currently conducted, except to the extent any failure to have any such rights or properties would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. 

  
 100 

 (d) All of the properties of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries that are
reasonably necessary for the operation of their businesses are in good working condition and are maintained in accordance with prudent business standards, except to the extent any failure to satisfy the foregoing would reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

(including calls on, or other rights to purchase, production, whether or not the same are currently being exercised) that (i) represent in respect of such agreements 2.5% or more of the Borrower’s average monthly production of Hydrocarbon
volumes and (ii) have a maturity or expiry date of longer than six (6) months from the Effective Date.

Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, is currently the subject of any U.S. sanctions (“Sanctions”) administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department
(“OFAC”). No proceeds of the Loans will be used by Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary directly or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, indirectly, (x) for the purpose of financing activities of or with any
Person, or in any country, that, at the time of such financing, is the subject of any Sanctions administered by OFAC, except to the extent licensed or otherwise approved by OFAC or (y) in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices

the well bores are wholly within, the Oil and Gas Properties (or in the case of wells located on properties unitized therewith, such unitized properties) of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, except, in each case, to the extent any failure
to satisfy the foregoing would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, legal, valid and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, the Collateral described therein to the extent intended to be created thereby and
(i) when financing statements and other filings in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified in the Collateral Agreement and (ii) upon the taking of possession or control by the Collateral Agent of such Collateral with respect to
which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control (which possession or control shall be given to the Collateral Agent to the extent possession or control by the Collateral Agent is required by the Collateral Agreement), the
Liens created by the Security Documents shall constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in (to the extent intended to be created thereby), all right, title and interest of the Grantors in such Collateral to the extent perfection

thereof, subject only to Liens permitted under this Agreement, and when such Mortgage is filed in the appropriate office, such Mortgage shall constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the Credit

of the Borrower) is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business) and against at least such risks (and with such risk retentions) as the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of management of the Borrower) is
reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business; and will furnish to the Administrative Agent, upon written request from the Administrative Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried. The
Secured Parties shall be the additional insureds on any such liability insurance as their interests may appear and, if property insurance is obtained, the Collateral Agent shall be the loss payee under any such property insurance; provided

Section 9.5 Consolidated Corporate Franchises. The Borrower will do, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to do, or cause to
be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, corporate rights and authority, except to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(a) Promptly after the Borrower knows or has reason to know of the occurrence of any of the following events that, individually or in the
aggregate (including in the aggregate such events previously disclosed or exempt from disclosure hereunder, to the extent the liability therefor remains outstanding), would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower will
deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer or any other senior officer of the Borrower setting forth details as to such occurrence and the action, if any, that the Borrower or such ERISA Affiliate is required or

 (d) In connection with each redetermination (but not any adjustment) of the Borrowing Base,
the Borrower shall review the applicable Reserve Report, if any, and the list of current Mortgaged Properties (as described in Section 9.14(c)), to ascertain whether the PV-9 of the

 Section 9.13 Further Assurances. 

(a) Subject to the applicable limitations set forth in the Security Documents, the Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to,
execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, assignments of

(b) [Reserved]. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Collateral Agent and the Borrower reasonably determine in writing that the cost of creating or perfecting any Lien on any property is excessive in relation to the benefits afforded to the
Lenders thereby, then such property may be excluded from the Collateral for all purposes of the Credit Documents. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Collateral Agreement, or any other Credit Document,
(i) the Administrative 

  
 113 

 
Agent may grant extensions of time for or waivers of the requirements of the creation or perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of title opinions or other title information, legal
opinions, appraisals, flood insurance and surveys with respect to particular assets (including extensions beyond the Effective Date for the perfection of security interests in the assets of the Credit Parties on such date) where it reasonably
determines, in consultation with the Borrower, that perfection or obtaining of such items is not required by law or cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement
or the other Credit Documents, (ii) Liens required to be granted from time to time pursuant to this Agreement and the Security Documents shall be subject to exceptions and limitations set forth in the Security Documents and, to the extent
appropriate in any applicable jurisdiction, as otherwise agreed between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may make such modifications to the Security Documents, and execute and/or
consent to such easements, covenants, rights of way or similar instruments (and Administrative Agent may agree to subordinate the lien of any mortgage to any such easement, covenant, right of way or similar instrument or record or may agree to
recognize any tenant pursuant to an agreement in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), as are reasonable or necessary and otherwise permitted by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.13 or anything in this Agreement or any other Credit
Document to the contrary: (A) Liens required to be granted from time to time shall be subject to exceptions and limitations set forth in the Collateral Agreement and the other Credit Documents and, to the extent appropriate in any applicable
jurisdictions, as agreed between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; (B) the Collateral shall not include any Excluded Assets; and (C) no actions in any jurisdiction outside of the United States or that are necessary to comply with
any Requirement of Law of any jurisdiction outside of the United States shall be required in order to create any security interest in assets located, titled, registered or filed outside of the United States or to prefect such security interests (it
being understood that there shall be no collateral agreements, security agreements, pledge agreements, or share charge (or mortgage) agreements governed under the laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United States); provided that nothing
in this Section 9.13 or any other provision of the Credit Documents shall affect or impair the Borrower’s obligation to meet the Collateral Coverage Minimum.

(85%) of the PV-9 value of the Borrowing Base Properties included in the most recently delivered Reserve Report in accordance with Section 9.16(a), such default shall not be a

any assets that have been pledged to secure such Junior Debt;

 Section 10.10
Hedge Agreements. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Hedge Agreements with any Person other than: 

(a) Hedge Agreements in respect of commodities entered into not for speculative purposes the net notional volumes for which (when aggregated
with other commodity Hedge Agreements then in effect, other than puts, floors and basis differential swaps on volumes already hedged pursuant to other Hedge Agreements) do not exceed, as of the date the latest hedging transaction is entered into
under a Hedge Agreement, 85% of the reasonably anticipated Hydrocarbon production from the Credit Parties’ total Proved Reserves (as forecast based upon the Initial Reserve Report or the most recent Reserve Report delivered pursuant to
Section 9.14(a), as applicable) for the sixty-six (66) month period from the date of creation of such hedging arrangement (the “Ongoing Hedges”). In addition to
the Ongoing Hedges, in connection with a proposed Permitted Acquisition (a “Proposed Acquisition”), and without limiting the ability of the Borrower to enter into incremental hedging in connection with a Permitted Acquisition within
the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 10.10(a), the Credit Parties may also enter into incremental hedging contracts with respect to the Credit Parties’ reasonably anticipated projected
production from the total Proved Reserves of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as forecast based upon the most recent Reserve Report having notional volumes not in excess of 15% of the Credit Parties’ existing projected production
prior to the consummation of such Proposed Acquisition for a period not exceeding forty-two (42) months from the date such hedging arrangement is created, during the period

  
 142 

 
between (1) the date on which such Credit Party signs a definitive acquisition agreement in connection with a Proposed Acquisition and (2) the earliest of (a) the date of
consummation of such Proposed Acquisition, (b) the date of termination of such Proposed Acquisition and (c) one-hundred twenty (120) days after the date of execution of such definitive
acquisition agreement (or such longer period as to which the Administrative Agent may agree); provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the notional volumes of incremental hedging contracts entered into in
connection with a Proposed Acquisition exceed 85% of the reasonably anticipated Hydrocarbon production from the total Proved Reserves attributable to the properties to be acquired pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition, for each of crude oil, natural
gas and natural gas liquids, calculated separately, as forecast based upon a Reserve Report delivered to the Administrative Agent in connection therewith; provided, further, that all such incremental hedging contracts entered into with
respect to a Proposed Acquisition must be terminated or unwound within ninety (90) days following the date of termination of such Proposed Acquisition. It is understood that (x) the foregoing limitations shall in any event exclude basis
differential swaps, put contracts and floors and (y) commodity Hedge Agreements which may, from time to time, “hedge” the same volumes, but different elements of commodity risk thereof, shall not be aggregated together when
calculating the foregoing limitations on notional volumes; 
 (b) other Hedge Agreements (other than any Hedge Agreements in respect of
equity or equity index swaps or options, bond or bond price or bond index swaps or options or forward bond or forward bond price or forward bond index transactions) entered into not for speculative purposes; 

(c) it is understood that for purposes of this Section 10.10, the following Hedge Agreements shall not be deemed
speculative or entered into for speculative purposes: (i) any commodity Hedge Agreement intended, at inception of execution, to hedge or manage any of the risks related to existing and/or forecasted Hydrocarbon production of the Borrower or its
Restricted Subsidiaries (whether or not contracted) and (ii) any Hedge Agreement intended, at inception of execution, (A) to hedge or manage the interest rate exposure associated with any debt securities, debt facilities or leases
(existing or forecasted) of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, (B) for foreign exchange or currency exchange management, (C) to manage commodity portfolio exposure associated with changes in interest rates or (D) to hedge
any exposure that the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries may have to counterparties under other Hedge Agreements such that the combination of such Hedge Agreements is not speculative taken as a whole; and 

(d) for purposes of entering into or maintaining Ongoing Hedges under Section 10.10(a), forecasts of reasonably
projected Hydrocarbon production volumes and reasonably anticipated Hydrocarbon production from the Credit Parties’ total Proved Reserves based upon the Initial Reserve Report or the most recent Reserve Report delivered pursuant to
Section 9.14(a), as applicable, shall be revised to account for any increase or decrease therein anticipated because of information obtained by Borrower or any other Credit Party subsequent to the publication of such

Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or
expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts received from any Guarantor or Parent Entity Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap
Obligations of such Guarantor or Parent Entity Guarantor. 
 Section 11.12 Equity Cure. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 11 or in any Credit Document, in the event that the Borrower
fails to comply with the requirements of Section 10.11(a) or Section 10.11(b), then (A) at any time after the beginning of such fiscal quarter (but, in any event, after the Effective Date)
until the expiration of the tenth Business Day subsequent to the date the compliance certificate for calculating the Consolidated Total Debt to EBITDAX Ratio and/or the Consolidated Current Ratio is required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 9.1(c) (the “Cure Deadline”), the Borrower shall have the right to cure such failure (the “Cure Right”) by receiving cash proceeds (which cash proceeds shall be received no earlier
than the first day of the applicable fiscal quarter for which there is a failure to comply with the applicable Financial Performance Covenant and shall not include the Contributed Amount) from an issuance of Qualified Equity Interests (other than
Disqualified Stock) for cash as a cash capital contribution (or from any other contribution of cash to capital or issuance or sale of any other Equity Interests on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), and upon receipt by the
Borrower of such cash proceeds (such cash amount being referred to as the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise of such Cure Right, any applicable Financial Performance Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following
pro forma adjustments: 
 (i) Consolidated EBITDAX and/or Consolidated Current Assets, as specified by the Borrower, shall be
increased, solely for the purpose of determining the existence of an Event of Default resulting from a breach of the applicable Financial Performance Covenant with respect to (A) in the case of an increase in Consolidated EBITDAX, any Test
Period that includes the fiscal quarter for which the Cure Right was exercised and (B) in the case of an increase in Consolidated Current Assets, the Test Period then ending and, in all cases, not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by
an amount equal to the Cure Amount; and 

  
 147 

 (ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations (without giving effect to any
repayment of any Indebtedness with any portion of the Cure Amount or any portion of the Cure Amount on the balance sheet of Holdings and the Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case, with respect to such fiscal quarter only), the Borrower shall then be
in compliance with the requirements of the applicable Financial Performance Covenants, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such Financial Performance Covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same
effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of any such Financial Performance Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement; provided
that (A) in each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which no Cure Right is exercised, (B) Cure Rights shall not be exercised more than five times during the term of this Agreement,
(C) each Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with any such applicable Financial Performance Covenant above (such amount, the “Necessary Cure Amount”; it being
understood that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Necessary Cure Amount required to cure the two separate Financial Performance Covenants in respect of a fiscal quarter may differ); provided that if the Cure Right is exercised prior to the
date financial statements are required to be delivered for such fiscal quarter, then the Cure Amount shall be equal to the amount reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith that is required for purposes of complying with the applicable
Financial Performance Covenants for such fiscal quarter (such amount, the “Expected Cure Amount”), (D) with respect to an increase of Consolidated EBITDAX, in respect of the fiscal quarter in which such Cure Right was exercised and
for each Test Period that includes such fiscal quarter, all such Cure Amounts shall be disregarded for the purposes of any financial ratio determination under the Credit Documents other than for determining compliance with the applicable Financial
Performance Covenants, (E) with respect to an increase in Consolidated Current Assets, in respect of the fiscal quarter in which such Cure Right was exercised, all such Cure Amounts shall be disregarded for the purposes of any financial ratio
determination under the Credit Documents other than for determining compliance with the applicable Financial Performance Covenants, (F) no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be required to make any extension of credit hereunder during the ten
(10)-Business Day period referred to above, unless the Borrower shall have received the Cure Amount, and (G) no amounts received pursuant to any exercise of the Cure Right shall be applied to reduce the Indebtedness of the Borrower and the
Restricted Subsidiaries on a Pro Forma Basis for purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Performance Covenants for the fiscal quarter in which such Cure Right was made (provided that to the extent such amounts are actually
applied to prepay Indebtedness, such reduction may be given effect in determining compliance with the Financial Performance Covenants for fiscal quarters after the fiscal quarter in which such Cure Right was made); and 

(iii) upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice, on or prior to the Cure Deadline, that the Borrower intends to exercise the
Cure Right in respect of a fiscal quarter, the Lenders shall not be permitted to accelerate Loans held by them or to exercise remedies against the Collateral on the basis of a failure to comply with the requirements of the applicable Financial
Performance Covenants, unless such failure is not cured pursuant to the exercise of the Cure Right on or prior to the Cure Deadline. 
 (b)
Expected Cure Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Expected Cure Amount is (i) greater than the Necessary Cure Amount, then such difference may be used for the purposes of determining the
Applicable Equity Amount and (ii) less than the Necessary Cure Amount, then not later than the applicable Cure Deadline, the Borrower must receive cash proceeds from issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) or a cash capital
contribution (but not including the Contributed Amount), which cash proceeds received by Borrower shall be equal to the shortfall between such Expected Cure Amount and such Necessary Cure Amount.

duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any
other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, each Lender
and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Collateral Agent as the agent with respect to the Collateral, and each of the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender, each Lender and each Issuing Bank irrevocably authorizes

 Section 12.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent may each execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents by or through agents, sub-agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties; provided, however, that no such Subagent
shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign
or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any Subagents selected by it in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

 Section 12.3 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Credit Document (except for its or 

  
 149 

 
such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein)
or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or any participant for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any
other Credit Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Security Documents or for any
failure of the Borrower or any other Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements
contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Administrative
Agent, any Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of any Credit Party. 
 Section 12.4 Reliance by Agents. The Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or
instruction believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice
of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any
other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents in accordance with a request of the Majority Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans; provided that the
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable Requirements of Law. For
purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article 6 and Article 7 on the Effective Date, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied
with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Effective Date
specifying its objection thereto. 
 Section 12.5 Notice of Default. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent
shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this
Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such
directions, the 

  
 150 

 
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the
best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval or consent of the Majority Lenders, the Required Lenders, each individual lender or adversely affect Lender, as
applicable. 
 Section 12.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Other
Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereinafter taken,
including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to any Lender, any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank. Each
Lender, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank represents to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and each other Credit Party and made
its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it
deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and any other Credit Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be
furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business,
assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. 

Section 12.7 Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, each in
its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Commitments or Loans, as applicable, outstanding in
effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions
of the Total Exposure in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any
time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of any actual or threatened claim, action,
suit litigation investigation or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) relating to the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any Proceeding; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s,
as applicable, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Lenders
(or such other number or 

  
 151 

 
percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Credit Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct for purposes of this
Section 12.7. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Loans), this Section 12.7 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other
Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or
out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment
or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to
herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect
thereto. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against
until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement
in excess of such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action,
judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 12.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder. 
 Section 12.8 Agents in Its Individual Capacities. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to,
accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and any other Credit Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, each Agent
shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in
its individual capacity. 
 Section 12.9 Successor Agents. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may at any time
give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender and/or Collateral Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Administrative Agent, Swingline
Lender or Collateral Agent, may be removed as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, at the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Majority Lenders. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or
removal, as the case may be, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which successor agent shall be (a) subject to the consent of the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under
Section 11.1 or 11.5 (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (b) a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the
United States; provided, that in no event shall any such successor be a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution. If, in the case of a resignation of a retiring Agent, no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, appoint a
successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless
become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent
on behalf of the Lenders or Issuing Banks under and Credit Documents, 

  
 152 

 
the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be
made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section 12.9). Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other
instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Majority Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Documents, such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 12.9). After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article 12 (including
Section 12.7) and Section 13.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its Subagents and their respective Agent-Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent. 
 Any resignation of any Person as Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 12.9 shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder (a) such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, (b) the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to
effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
 Section 12.10 Withholding
Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the IRS or any authority of the United States or
other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed,
or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that
the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any applicable Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of any applicable Credit Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as
Tax or otherwise, including penalties, additions to Tax and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set
off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.10. For the avoidance of doubt,
for purposes of this Section 12.10, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and any Swingline Lender. 

Section 12.11 Security Documents and Collateral Agent under Security Documents and Guarantee. Each Secured Party hereby further
authorizes the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents.
Without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, is authorized to (x) enter into or amend the Collateral Agreement on the Effective Date and (y) to amend
the Security Documents to add additional Collateral. Subject to Section 13.1, without further written consent 

  
 153 

 
or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may (a) execute any documents or instruments necessary in connection with a Disposition
of assets permitted by this Agreement, (b) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is (i) the subject of such Disposition of assets or otherwise becomes an Excluded Equity Interest, an Excluded Asset or property of an
Excluded Subsidiary, (ii) to the extent the property constituting Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee in accordance with Section 5(g) of the Guarantee or
otherwise in accordance with this Agreement or (iii) with respect to which Majority Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 13.1) have otherwise consented or
(c) release any applicable Guarantor from the Guarantee in connection with such Disposition or in connection with such Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary, or with respect to which Majority Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be
required to give such consent under Section 13.1) have otherwise consented. The Lenders and the Issuing Banks (including in their capacities as potential Cash Management Banks and potential Hedge Banks) irrevocably agree
that (x) the Collateral Agent is authorized and the Collateral Agent agrees it shall (for the benefit of Borrower), without any further consent of any Lender, enter into or amend the Customary Intercreditor Agreement or any intercreditor
agreement with the collateral agent or other representatives of the holders of Indebtedness that is permitted to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is permitted under this Agreement, in each case for the purpose of adding the holders of
such Indebtedness (or their representative) as a party thereto and otherwise causing such Indebtedness to be subject thereto (it being understood that any changes may be made to the Customary Intercreditor Agreement or any applicable intercreditor
agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing and with any material modifications to be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), (y) the Collateral Agent may rely
exclusively on a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower as to whether any such other Liens are permitted and (z) any such intercreditor agreement referred to in clause (x) above, entered into by the Collateral Agent,
shall be binding on the Secured Parties. Furthermore, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (including in their capacities as potential Cash Management Bank and potential Hedge Banks) hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to
subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clause (j) of the definition of
“Permitted Liens” and clauses (c), (e) (with respect to Liens securing Indebtedness permitted under Section 10.1(f)), (f), (g), (j), (o), (p), (w),
(x) and (y) of Section 10.2 or otherwise permitted to be senior to the Liens of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent on such property; provided that prior to any such request, the Borrower
shall have in each case delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower certifying that such subordination is permitted under this Agreement. 

Section 12.12 Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Agents and each Secured Party hereby agree that (a) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed
that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be
exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser
or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities
unless the Majority Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and
apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition. 

  
 154 

 Section 12.13 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding, constituting an Event of Default under Section 11.5, the Administrative
Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the
principal and interest owing and unpaid hereunder or under any other Credit Document in respect of the Loans and all other Indebtedness that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel, to the extent due
under Section 13.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator
or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, to the extent due under
Section 13.5. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Indebtedness or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim
of any Lender in any such proceeding. 
 ARTICLE 13 

MISCELLANEOUS. 

Section 13.1 Amendments, Waivers and Releases. 

(a) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may
be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.1. The Majority Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent and/or the
Collateral Agent shall, from time to time, (A) enter into with the relevant Credit Party or Credit Parties written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Credit Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to
this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Credit Parties hereunder or thereunder or (B) waive in writing, on such terms and conditions as the Majority Lenders or the
Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided,
however, that each such waiver and each such amendment, supplement or modification shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, further, that no such waiver and no such
amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive or reduce any portion of any Loan or reduce the stated rate (it being understood that only the consent of the Majority Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to
pay interest at the Default Rate or amend Section 2.8(c)), or forgive or reduce any portion, or extend the 

  
 155 

 
date for the payment (including the Maturity Date), of any principal, interest or fee payable hereunder (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in
interest rates and any change due to a change in the Borrowing Base or Available Commitment), or extend the final expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment (provided that (1) any Lender, upon the request of the Borrower, may extend
the final expiration date of its Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, including the Majority Lenders, and (2) it is being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default
shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender) or extend the final expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the L/C Maturity Date, or increase the amount of the Commitment of any Lender (provided that, any Lender,
upon the request of the Borrower, may increase the amount of its Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, including the Majority Lenders), or make any Loan, interest, fee or other amount payable in any currency other than Dollars, in each
case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.1 in a manner that would reduce the voting rights of any Lender,
or reduce the percentages specified in the definitions of the terms “Majority Lenders”, “Required Lenders” or “Non-Defaulting Lenders” (it being understood that, with the consent
of the Majority Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Majority Lenders, Required Lenders and all Non-Defaulting Lenders on
substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Effective Date), consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document to which it is a party (except as permitted
pursuant to Section 10.3), in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (iii) amend the provisions of Section 11.11 or any analogous
provision of any Security Document, in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (iv) amend,
modify or waive any provision of Article 12 without the written consent of the then-current Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable, or any other former or current Agent to whom Article 12 then applies in a manner that
directly and adversely affects such Person, or (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article 3 with respect to any Letter of Credit without the written consent of each Issuing Bank to whom Article 3 then applies in a manner
that directly and adversely affects such Person, or (vi) amend, modify or waive any provisions hereof relating to Swingline Loans without the written consent of the Swingline Lender, or (vii) release all or substantially all of the
aggregate value of the Guarantees (except as expressly permitted by the Guarantee or this Agreement) without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (viii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents
(except as expressly permitted by the Security Documents or this Agreement) without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (ix) amend Section 2.9 so as to permit Interest Period intervals greater than six
(6) months without regard to availability to Lenders, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (x) increase the Borrowing Base without the written consent of all
Non-Defaulting Lenders (provided that no Defaulting Lender’s share of the Borrowing Base may be increased without its consent), decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base without the written consent
of the Required Lenders or otherwise modify Section 2.14(b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) or (h) if such modification would have the effect of increasing the Borrowing Base without
the written consent of all Non-Defaulting Lenders; provided that a Scheduled Redetermination may be postponed by the Required Lenders, or (xi) affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other
amounts payable to, any Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of such Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders
and shall be binding upon the Borrower, such Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; it being understood that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In connection with the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligations to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers
or consents on behalf of such Lender whose consent is required hereunder. 

  
 156 

 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any
right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders
other than Defaulting Lenders), except that the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and no such amendment, waiver or consent shall disproportionately adversely affect
such Defaulting Lender without its consent as compared to other Lenders (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of
the Lenders). 
 (c) Without the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank, the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent
may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Credit Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Credit Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting,
perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security
interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Credit
Document. 
 (d) In connection with the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness to be
secured by a Lien on any Collateral permitted by Section 10.2 of this Agreement, at the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (including in its capacity as “collateral agent” under the Credit
Documents) agrees to enter into the Customary Intercreditor Agreement, and execute and deliver any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to such agreement (each, an
“Intercreditor Agreement Supplement”), and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, any Security Document, and to make or consent to any filings or take any
other actions in connection therewith, as may be reasonably determined by the Borrower, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to be necessary or reasonably desirable for any Lien on
the Collateral permitted to secure such additional Indebtedness to become a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be designated by the Borrower, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Credit Documents) pursuant to the Security
Document being so amended, amended and restated, restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified. The Lenders and each of the Issuing Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take any action contemplated by the preceding sentence, and
any such amendment, amendment and restatement, restatement, waiver of or supplement to or other modification of any such Credit Document shall be effective notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.1. 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Majority Lenders,
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit or debt facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect
thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Loans and the Commitments and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit
or debt facilities in any determination of the Majority Lenders, the Required Lenders and all Non-Defaulting Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion. 

  
 157 

 (f) In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the
written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the Replacement Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Loans of any Class (“Replaced Loans”) with replacement loans
(“Replacement Loans”) hereunder; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Replaced Loans, plus accrued interest, fees,
premiums (if any) and penalties thereon and reasonable fees, expenses, original issue discount and upfront fees associated with such Replacement Loans, (ii) the All-In Yield with respect to such
Replacement Loans shall not be higher than the All-In Yield for such Replaced Loans immediately prior to such refinancing unless the maturity of the Replacement Loans is at least one (1) year later than
the maturity of the Replaced Loans and (iii) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Loans than, those applicable to such Replaced
Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the Latest Maturity Date of the Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing. Each amendment to this Agreement providing for
Replacement Loans may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to effect the
provisions of this paragraph, and for the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall supersede any other provisions in this Section 13.1 to the contrary. 

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Credit Documents (including any exhibit, schedule or other
attachment) may be made with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (i) if such modifications are not adverse in any material respect to the Lenders, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Banks (in which case, the consent of the
Swingline Lender and Issuing Banks shall be required) or (ii) to the extent necessary (A) to integrate any Incremental Increase or Extended Commitment contemplated by Sections 2.16 and 2.17, (B) to change the financial
reporting convention in accordance with Section 9.10 or (C) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case with respect to this clause (C), the Lenders, the Swingline
Lender and the Issuing Banks shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the
Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that the Majority Lenders object to such amendment. 
 Section 13.2
Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission). All such written notices shall be
mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or electronic mail address, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as
follows: 
 (a) if to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, to the address,
facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 13.2 or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice
to the other parties; and 
 (b) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number
specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks. 
 All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of
(i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii)(A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, three (3) Business Days after

  
 158 

 
deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail, when delivered;
provided that notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.6, 2.9, 4.2 and 5.1 shall not be effective until received. 

Section 13.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by Requirements of Law. 
 Section 13.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder, in the other Credit Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans
hereunder. Such representations and warranties shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Cash
Management Agreements or contingent indemnification obligations, in any such case, not then due and payable). 
 Section 13.5
Payment of Expenses; Indemnification. 
 (a) The Borrower agrees (i) if the Effective Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the
Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger with “lead left” placement for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions
contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs, which shall be limited to one counsel to the Lead Arranger with “lead left”
placement and one local counsel as reasonably necessary in any relevant jurisdiction material to the interests of the Lenders taken as a whole and (ii) after the Effective Date, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents
(including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, and including all respective Attorney Costs, which shall be limited to Attorney Costs of one counsel to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole and one local counsel as reasonably necessary in any relevant jurisdiction material to the interests of the Lenders taken as a whole and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one
additional counsel and (if reasonably necessary) one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Indemnitees similarly situated). The agreements in this Section 13.5 shall survive the repayment of all other
Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 13.5 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided that,
with respect to the Effective Date, all amounts due under this Section 13.5 shall be paid on the Effective Date solely to the extent invoiced to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days prior to the Effective Date.
If any Credit Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Credit Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Credit Party by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 

  
 159 

 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, Lender, Lead Arranger,
Agent-Related Person and their Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, agents, advisors and other representatives of the foregoing (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all
liabilities, losses, damages, claims, or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs but limited in the case of legal fees and expenses to the reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel for all
Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant jurisdiction, and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel and (if reasonably necessary) one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Indemnitees similarly
situated) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement,
performance or administration of any Credit Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any
Commitment or Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged Environmental Claim regarding, or liability or obligation under Environmental Law of, the Credit Parties 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 (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened
claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) (a “Proceeding”) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or whether or not such Proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any other Person and, in each case, whether
or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such liabilities, losses, damages, claims or out-of-pocket expenses resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any of its Related Indemnified Persons, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) a material breach of any obligations
under any Credit Document by such Indemnitee or of any of its Related Indemnified Persons, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) any dispute solely
among Indemnitees other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an administrative agent or collateral agent or arranger or any similar role under this Agreement and other than any claims arising out of any
act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from
the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement (except for direct (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive or consequential)
damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, of such Indemnitee), nor shall any
Indemnitee, Agent-Related Parties, Credit Party or any Subsidiary have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection
herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Effective Date) (other than, in the case of any Credit Party, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party, or which are included in a third-party claim, and for
any out-of-pocket expenses related thereto). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this
Section 13.5 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Credit Party, any Subsidiary of any Credit Party, its directors, stockholders or
creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents are consummated. All amounts due
under this Section 13.5 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided, however, that such
Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this
Section 13.5. The agreements in this Section 13.5 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the
other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 13.5(b) shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, prepayments,
suits, costs, expenses and disbursements arising from any non-Tax claims.

 Section 13.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. 

(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 each Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) except as expressly permitted by Section 10.3, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender
may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 13.6. 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 each Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of this
Section 13.6) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Agent-Related Parties and each other Person entitled to indemnification under Section 13.5) any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, any Lender
may at any time assign to one or more assignees (other than Holdings, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, any natural person, any Disqualified Institution or any Defaulting Lender) all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including participations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of: 

(A) the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, denied or conditioned); provided that no consent of the
Borrower shall be required for an assignment if an Event of Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 with respect to the Borrower has occurred and is continuing; and 

(B) the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld,
delayed, denied or conditioned). 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of 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 be in integral
multiples of $5,000,000, unless each of the Borrower, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be
required if an Event of Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 with respect to the Borrower has occurred and is continuing; 

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of
any assignment and the Administrative Agent shall enter the relevant information in the Register pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 13.6; and 

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and
applicable Tax forms (including those described in Sections 5.4(d), (e), (h) and (i), as applicable). 

  
 161 

 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this
Section 13.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10,
2.11, 3.11, 5.4 and 13.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.6 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 clause (c) of this Section 13.6. 

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders (including any SPVs that provide all or any part of a Loan pursuant to
Section 13.6(g) hereof), and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest amounts) of the Loans and L/C Obligations and any payment made by each Issuing Bank under any applicable Letter of Credit owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, the Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this
Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Swingline
Lender and, solely with respect to itself, each other 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 clause (b) of this Section 13.6 (unless waived) and any written
consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 13.6, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. 

(vi) The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to ascertain, monitor or enforce compliance with the restrictions on assignments and
participations related to Disqualified Institutions. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities other than any Defaulting Lender, any Disqualified Institution (so long as the Administrative Agent may make the list of Disqualified
Institutions available to any Lender upon request, in each case, subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 13.16 and any failure of the Borrower to respond to any request for

  
 162 

 
consent of assignment shall not cause any such Person to cease to constitute a Disqualified Institution), Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or their respective Affiliates
or natural persons (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); 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, each 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 or any other Credit Document;
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 clause (i) or (ii) of the second proviso
of the second sentence of Section 13.1(a) that affects such Participant, provided that the Participant shall have no right to consent to any modification to the percentages specified in the definitions of the terms
“Majority Lenders”, “Required Lenders” or “Non-Defaulting Lenders”. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 13.6, the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.11 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections and Sections 2.12 and
13.7) as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6). To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 13.8(b) as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.8(a) as though it were a Lender. 

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.11
or 5.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent;
provided that the Participant shall be subject to the provisions in Section 2.12 and Section 13.7 as if it were an assignee under clauses (a) and (b) of this
Section 13.6. Each Lender that sells a participation or grants an SPV shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each
Participant or each SPV and the principal amounts (and stated interest amounts) of each Participant’s or SPV’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries
in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and each party hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation or SPV for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or SPV or any information relating to a
Participant’s or SPV’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of
credit or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c), proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.163-5 or any applicable
temporary, final or other successor regulations or upon the Borrower’s request, to confirm that no Participant is a Disqualified Institution. 

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, any Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, 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 any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction
over such Lender, and this Section 13.6 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. In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment or for any other reason, the Borrower hereby agrees that, upon

  
 163 

 
request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after the Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense,
a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 or H-2, as the case may be, evidencing the Loans and Swingline Loans, respectively, owing to
such Lender or its registered assigns. 
 (e) Subject to Section 13.16, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to
disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its
Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with such
Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement. 
 (f) The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the
same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose
funding vehicle (a “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting
Lender would otherwise be obligated to make the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or
otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same
extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting
Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all
outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under
the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.6, any SPV may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative
Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information
relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This Section 13.6(g) may not be amended without the written consent of
the SPV. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the following sentence, each SPV shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.11 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.11 and 5.4 as though it were a Lender, and Sections 2.12 and 13.7), and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
clause (b) of this Section 13.6. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, an SPV shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.11 or
5.4 than its Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to such SPV, unless such grant to such SPV is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. 

 

  
 164 

 (h) Any assignment or participation of a Loan or Commitment by a Lender without the
Borrower’s consent (i) to a Disqualified Institution or (ii) to the extent the Borrower’s consent is required under this Section 13.6, to any other Person, shall be null and void, and, in the event of
any assignment or participation of any Loan or Commitment by a Lender in breach of the foregoing, the Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance to unwind any such assignment or Participation in addition to any other remedies available
to the Borrower at law or in equity. In addition, (A) the Borrower may (x) terminate any Commitment of such Person and prepay any applicable outstanding Loans at a price equal to the lesser of par and the amount such Person paid to acquire
such Loans, without premium, penalty, prepayment fee or breakage and/or (y) require such Person to assign its rights and obligations to one or more permitted assignees under this Section 13.6 at the price indicated
above (which assignment shall not be subject to any processing and recordation fee) and if such Person does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such assignment within five
(5) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such Person, then such Person shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on
its part, (B) no such Person shall receive any information, reporting or other materials provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or attend or participate in any meetings attended by the Lenders and
the Administrative Agent, (C) for purposes of voting, any Loans or Commitments held by such Person shall be deemed not to be outstanding, and such Person shall have no voting or consent rights with respect to “Majority Lender”,
“Required Lender” or class votes or consents, (D) for purposes of any matter requiring the vote or consent of each Lender affected by any amendment or waiver, such Person shall be deemed to have voted or consented to approve such
amendment or waiver if a majority of the affected class (giving effect to clause (C) above) so approves and (E) such Person shall not be entitled to any expense reimbursement or indemnification rights and shall be treated in all
other respects as a Defaulting Lender; it being understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions shall only apply to the Person specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph and not to any assignee of
such Person that becomes a Lender so long as such assignee becomes an assignee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.6. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that the
Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity, including against any Lender that enters into an assignment, participation or other transaction (including the disclosure of Confidential Information) with a Disqualified Institution in contravention of
the terms of this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will suffer irreparable harm if such Lender breaches any obligation under this Section 13.6. Additionally, each Lender
agrees that the Borrower may seek to obtain specific performance or other equitable or injunctive relief to enforce this paragraph against such Lender with respect to such breach without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm.

 Section 13.7 Replacements of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. 

(a) In the event that any Lender (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10,
3.11 or 5.4 (other than Section 5.4(b)), (ii) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is
required to be taken or (iii) becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to replace such Lender or terminate the Commitment of such Lender; provided that (x) in the case of a replacement (A) such replacement
does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (B) the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and the Borrower shall pay all other amounts (other than any disputed amounts), pursuant to
Section 2.10, 3.11 or 5.4, as the case may be) owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (C) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and
conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender 

  
 165 

 
and each Issuing Bank (except to the extent such Swingline Lender or Issuing Banks is, or is an Affiliate of, the Lender being replaced) and (D) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to
make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6(b) (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein as long as the replacement
Lender pays such fee) and (y) in the case of a termination, repay all Obligations (including amounts (other than any disputed amounts), owing pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.11 or 5.4, as the case may be)
owing to such Lender as of such termination date (and, in the case of an Issuing Bank, cancel or backstop on terms satisfactory to such Issuing Bank any Letters of Credit issued by it). 

(b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a
proposed amendment, waiver, discharge, termination or Borrowing Base determination that pursuant to the terms of Section 13.1 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected or the Required Lenders or all Non-Defaulting Lenders and with respect to which the Majority Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting
Lender grants such consent) to (x) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to
one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (except to the extent such Swingline Lender or Issuing Banks is, or is an Affiliate of, the Lender being replaced) or
(y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender; provided that: (x) in the case of a replacement, (i) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced (other
than principal and interest) shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such
Non-Consenting Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 13.6 (provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein
as long as the replacement Lender pays such fee) and (y) in the case of a termination, all Obligations owing to such Non-Consenting Lender shall be paid in full concurrently with such termination. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (i) each party hereto agrees that any assignment pursuant to the terms of this
Section 13.7 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, each Issuing Bank and the assignee and that the Lender making such assignment
need not be a party thereto and (ii) no termination of Commitments may be made pursuant to this Section 13.7 unless the Letter of Credit Exposure and Swingline Exposure of the terminated Lender is cash collateralized
on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender. 
 (d) Any such Lender replacement or Commitment termination
pursuant to this Section 13.7 shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 

Section 13.8 Adjustments; Set-off. 

(a) If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment in respect of any principal of or interest on
all or part of the Loans made by it, or the participations in Letter of Credit Obligations held by it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant
to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 11.5, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender entitled thereto, if any, in respect of such
other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase for cash at face value from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each
such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause 

  
 166 

 
such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans
and other amounts owing them; provided, however, that (A) if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and
benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (B) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment made by the Borrower or any other Credit Party pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (2) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, Commitments or participations in Drawings to
any assignee or participant or (3) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Commitments or any increase in the Applicable
Margin in respect of Loans or Commitments of Lenders that have consented to any such extension. Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Credit Party rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct
creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation. 
 (b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Requirements of Law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable Requirements of Law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder or under any Credit Document (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and
appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower (and the Credit Parties,
if applicable) and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 
 Section 13.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one
or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission, e.g., a “pdf” or a “tif”), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be
deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

Section 13.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 13.11 Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit
Documents represent the agreement of the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or
warranties by the Borrower, the Guarantors, any Agent nor any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents. 

Section 13.12 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

  
 167 

 Section 13.13 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally: 
 (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the courts of the United States of America for
the Southern District of New York, in each case located in New York County, and appellate courts from any thereof; provided that nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document will prevent any Lender, the Collateral Agent or the
Administrative Agent from bringing any action to enforce any award or judgment or exercise any right under the Credit Documents or against any Collateral or any other property of any Credit Party in any other forum in which jurisdiction can be
established; 
 (b) consents that any such action or proceeding shall be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or
hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; 

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail
(or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person at its address set forth on Schedule 13.2 at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant to
Section 13.2; 
 (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other
manner permitted by Requirements of Law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; 
 (e) without limitation of Sections
12.7 and 13.5, waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 13.13 any special, exemplary, punitive
or consequential damages (other than, in the case of any Credit Party, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party, or which are included in a third-party claim, and for any out-of-pocket expenses related thereto); and 
 (f) agrees that a final judgment in any 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.

 Section 13.17 Release of Collateral and Guarantee
Obligations. 
 (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Credit Parties on any
Collateral shall be automatically released (i) in full, as set forth in clause (b) below, (ii) upon the Disposition of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other Disposition permitted hereunder) to any
Person other than another Credit Party (other than Holdings), to the extent such Disposition is not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any
Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) upon any Collateral becoming an Excluded Equity Interest, an Excluded Asset or becoming owned by an Excluded Subsidiary or becoming subject to Liens pursuant to clauses
(d) and (e) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” or any Lien permitted pursuant to Sections 10.2(f), (g), (j), (m), (o), (p), (w), (x) and (y), in each case,
except in connection with a transaction prohibited hereunder, (iv) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Credit Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (v) if the release of such Lien is approved,
authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 13.1), (vi) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral
is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee in accordance with the second succeeding sentence or Section 5(g) of the Guarantee and (vii) as required by the Collateral Agent to
effect any Disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other
than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Credit Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Credit Parties, including the proceeds of any Disposition, all of which shall continue to constitute
part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents. Additionally, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that (A) Parent and Opco Parent shall be released from the Parent
Guarantee or Opco Guarantee, as applicable, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5(g) thereof, as applicable, (B) any other Person that guarantees the Obligations shall be released from its guarantee pursuant to and in accordance
with the terms of the documentation governing such guarantee and (C) 

  
 170 

 
Subsidiary Guarantors shall be released from the Guarantee upon consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary Guarantor ceasing to constitute a Restricted
Subsidiary or otherwise becoming an Excluded Subsidiary. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to
evidence and confirm the release of any guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Credit
Document relating to any such Collateral or guarantor shall no longer be deemed to be repeated. In connection with any release hereunder, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense in connection with the release of any Liens created by any Credit
Document in respect of such Subsidiary, property or asset. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other
Credit Document, when all Obligations (other than (i) Hedging Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreements, (ii) Cash Management Obligations in respect of any Secured Cash Management Agreements and (iii) any contingent or
indemnification obligations not then due) have been paid in full in cash or equivalents thereof, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding that is not Cash Collateralized or back-stopped, upon request of
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to
release all obligations under any Credit Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be any (i) Hedging Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreements, (ii) Cash Management Obligations in respect of any Secured
Cash Management Agreements and (iii) any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due. Any such release of Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any
portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or
upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 Section 13.18 USA PATRIOT Act. The Agents and each Lender hereby notify the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the
USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT 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 Agent and such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. 

Section 13.19 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any
Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant
to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or
part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight
Rate from time to time in effect. 

  
 171 

 Section 13.20 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise,
all as though such payments had not been made. 
 Section 13.21 Disposition of Proceeds. The Security Documents contain an
assignment by the Borrower and/or the Grantors unto and in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders of all of the Borrower’s or each Grantor’s interest in and to their
as-extracted collateral in the form of production and all proceeds attributable thereto which may be produced from or allocated to the Mortgaged Property. The Security Documents further provide in general for
the application of such proceeds to the satisfaction of the Obligations described therein and secured thereby. Notwithstanding the assignment contained in such Security Documents, until the occurrence of an Event of Default, (a) the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will neither notify the purchaser or purchasers of such production nor take any other action to cause such proceeds to be remitted to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, but the Lenders will
instead permit such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (b) the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and/or such
Subsidiaries. 
 Section 13.22 Collateral Matters; Hedge Agreements. The benefit of the Security Documents and of the provisions
of this Agreement relating to any Collateral securing the Obligations shall also extend to and be available on a pro rata basis pursuant to terms agreed upon in the Credit Documents to any Person (a) under any Secured Hedge Agreement, in
each case, after giving effect to all netting arrangements relating to such Hedge Agreements or (b) under any Secured Cash Management Agreement. No Person shall have any voting rights under any Credit Document solely as a result of the
existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement. 
 Section 13.23
Agency of the Borrower for the Other Credit Parties. Each of the other Credit Parties hereby appoints the Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including the giving and receipt of
notices and the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and therein and all modifications hereto and thereto. 

Section 13.24 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any
Credit Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may
be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any
Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in full or in
part or cancellation of any such liability; 

  
 172 

 (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments
of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights
with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or 
 (iii) the variation of the terms of such
liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
