Form of Indemnification Agreement

 Exhibit 10.1 
 CENTRAL EUROPEAN DISTRIBUTION CORPORATION 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 This INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the      day of
                 (this “Agreement”) by and between Central European Distribution Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and                                         
(“Indemnitee”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee recognize the substantial increase in corporate
litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries to expensive litigation risks and the limitations of coverage of liability insurance; 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee desire to continue to have in place the additional protection provided by an indemnification agreement and to provide indemnification and advancement of Expenses (as
defined below) to Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law; and 
 WHEREAS, in view of the considerations set
forth above, the Company desires that Indemnitee shall be indemnified and advanced Expenses by the Company as set forth herein; 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as set forth below: 

1. DEFINITIONS. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 

“Bylaws” means the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as such may be amended from time to time. 

“Certificate” means the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as such may be amended from
time to time. 
 “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is or was a member of the board of
directors of the Company (the “Board”) or was otherwise a director, officer, employee or agent or fiduciary of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise,
which such person is or was serving at the request of the Company. 
 “Disinterested Director” means a director
of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee. 

“Expenses” shall include attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, filing fees,
witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses and obligations of any nature whatsoever paid or incurred in connection with
prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, participating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a Proceeding. 

 “Independent Legal Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm,
that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to
matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement) or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Legal Counsel” shall not include
any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

 “Proceeding” includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, proceeding, alternate
dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of (i) the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company, (ii) any action taken by Indemnitee or of any inaction on his
part while acting in, or the fact of, his Corporate Status. Any of the foregoing proceedings described in the immediately preceding sentence (i) shall be deemed a Proceeding, whether or not Indemnitee is acting or serving in any such capacity
at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement and (ii) shall include any Proceeding pending on or before the date of this Agreement; provided that such definition shall
exclude a Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7 to enforce his rights under this Agreement. 
 2.
INDEMNITY. The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify (including the advancement of Expenses) Indemnitee to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law (regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or revocation of
the Certificate or the Bylaws). In furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, and without limiting the generality thereof: 

(a) Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of
indemnification provided in this Section 2(a) if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this
Section 2(a), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such
Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. 

  
 2 

 (b) Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to
the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 2(b) if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment
in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 2(b), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such
Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the state of Delaware shall determine that such indemnification may be made. 

(c) Indemnification for Expenses if Indemnitee of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, he shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters
in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 2 and
without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter. 

3. ADDITIONAL INDEMNITY. In addition to, and without regard to any limitations on, the indemnification provided for in
Section 2, the Company shall and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in
connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf if, by reason of his Corporate Status he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to
or participant in any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company). The only limitation that shall exist upon the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3 shall be that the Company shall not be obligated to
make any payment to Indemnitee that is finally determined (under the procedures, and subject to the presumptions, set forth in Sections 7 and 8 hereof) to be unlawful. 

  
 3 

 4. CONTRIBUTION IN THE EVENT OF JOINT LIABILITY. 

(a) Whether or not the indemnification provided in Sections 2 and 3 hereof is available, in respect of any Proceeding in which the
Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment, penalty, fine or settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges
paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement) of such Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and the Company hereby waives and
relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against Indemnitee. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding) unless such
settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee. 
 (b) Without diminishing or
impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding subparagraph, if, for any reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding in
which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments
and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits
received by the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with him (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the
transaction(s) or event(s) from which such Proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative
fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection
with the transaction(s) or event(s) that resulted in such Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines or settlement amounts (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses,
judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement), as well as any other equitable considerations which the law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company other
than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with him (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were motivated
by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary, and the degree to which their conduct is active or passive. 
 (c) The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims of contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than
Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee. 

  
 4 

 (d) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided
for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid
or to be paid in settlement and for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order
to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding and (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees
and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and transaction(s). 
 5. INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A
WITNESS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness, or is made (or asked) to respond to discovery requests, in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not
a party, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. 
 6. ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any
Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of a written statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final
disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced
if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 6 shall be unsecured and interest free. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the obligation of the Company to advance Expenses pursuant to this Section 6 shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the Company determines (in accordance with the presumptions and procedures set forth herein)
that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed, within 30 days of such determination, by him for all such amounts theretofore paid; provided, however, that if
Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings to secure a determination that he should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Company that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under
applicable law shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advance of Expenses until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto. Indemnitee’s entitlement to such Expenses shall
include those incurred in connection with any Proceeding by Indemnitee seeking adjudication pursuant to this Agreement.

 7. PROCEDURES AND PRESUMPTIONS FOR DETERMINATION OF ENTITLEMENT TO INDEMNIFICATION.
It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted under the law and public policy of the state of Delaware. Accordingly, the parties agree that the following procedures and
presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement: 
 (a) To obtain indemnification (including, but not limited to, the advancement of Expenses and contribution by the Company) under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request,
including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the Company
shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of Indemnitee to provide such a request to the Company, or to
provide such a request in a timely fashion, shall not relieve the Company of any liability that it may have to Indemnitee unless, and to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the interests of the Company. 

(b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 7(a) hereof, a determination,
if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following three methods, which shall be at the election of Indemnitee: (1) by a majority vote of the
Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum; or (2) by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion; or (3) by the stockholders of the Company. 
 (c) If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof, Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected as provided in this
Section 7(c). Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board). Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within 30 days after such written notice of
selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that Independent Legal Counsel so
selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Legal Counsel” as defined in Section 1 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely
objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Legal Counsel. If a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Legal Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Legal Counsel unless and until such objection is
withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof, no Independent Legal Counsel shall have been
selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may seek judicial resolution of any objection, which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Legal Counsel or for the appointment
as Independent Legal Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Legal Counsel
under Section 7(b) hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Legal Counsel incurred by such Independent Legal Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof. The Company shall
pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 7(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Legal Counsel was selected or appointed. 

  
 6 

 (d) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the
person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume (unless there is clear and convincing evidence to the contrary) that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for
indemnification in accordance with Section 7(a) of this Agreement. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion, by clear and convincing evidence. Neither the failure of the Company
(including by its directors or Independent Legal Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable
standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or Independent Legal Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that
Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 
 (e) Indemnitee shall be presumed to have acted in good faith if
Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Company, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Company in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal
counsel for the Company, the Board or any committee of the Board or on information or records given or reports made to the Company by an independent certified public accountant, by a financial advisor or by an appraiser or other expert selected with
reasonable care by the Company, the Board or any committee of the Board. In addition, the knowledge and actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of
determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(e) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed (unless there is clear and convincing evidence to the contrary) that
Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of
persuasion, by clear and convincing evidence. 
 (f) The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of
final judgment may be successful if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption and uncertainty. In the event that any action, claim or proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse
judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such Proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed (unless there is clear and convincing evidence to the contrary) that Indemnitee
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such Proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion, by clear and convincing evidence. 

  
 7 

 (g) If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 7(b) hereof to
determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within 60 days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to
have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, thereto; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(g) shall not apply if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made
by the stockholders pursuant to Section 7(b) of this Agreement and if within 15 days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination the Board or the Disinterested Directors, if appropriate, resolve to submit such
determination to the stockholders for their consideration at the next annual meeting thereof and such determination is made thereat. 
 (h) Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, and provide to such person, persons
or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information, which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Indemnitee to waive any of his rights
under the United States Constitution or to provide information, which is privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure. Any Independent Legal Counsel, member of the Board, or stockholder of the Company shall act reasonably and in good faith in
making a determination under the Agreement of Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity
making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. 

(i) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith
and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 

  
 8 

 8. REMEDIES. 

(a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 7(b)
of this Agreement within 90 days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to this Agreement within 30 days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor,
or (v) payment of indemnification is not made within 30 days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication of his entitlement to such indemnification. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such
proceeding pursuant to this Section 8(a). The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication. 
 (b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 7(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to
this Section 8 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced in any way by reason of that adverse determination. 

(c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 7(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 8, absent a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law. 

(d) In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 8, seeks a judicial adjudication of his rights under, or to recover
damages for breach of, this Agreement, or to recover under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, the Company shall pay on his behalf, in advance, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him in such judicial adjudication, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of Expenses or insurance recovery. 

(e) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 8 that the
procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all
Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefore) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection
with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether
Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be. 

  
 9 

 (f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to
entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding. 
 9. NON-EXCLUSIVITY; SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS; INSURANCE; SUBROGATION. 
 (a) The
rights of indemnification and advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws,
any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any
action taken or omitted by Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification than would be afforded
currently under this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right
or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent or later assertion or employment of any other right or remedy. 
 (b)
To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents or fiduciaries of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise, which such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any
such director, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect, the
Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such
insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. 
 (c) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required
and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights. 

  
 10 

 (d) The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. 

10. EXCEPTION TO RIGHT OF INDEMNIFICATION. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall not be entitled
to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding brought by him, or any claim therein (except claims by way of defense, counterclaim or crossclaim), unless (a) the bringing of such Proceeding or making of such claim shall
have been approved by the Board, (b) such Proceeding is being brought by Indemnitee to assert his rights under this Agreement, or (c) as otherwise required under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the state of Delaware,
regardless of whether Indemnitee is determined to be entitled to such indemnification or insurance recovery as the case may be. 

11. DURATION OF AGREEMENT. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period
Indemnitee is serving as an officer or director of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise)
and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee is or may become subject to any Proceeding (or any proceeding commenced under Section 7 hereof) by reason of his Corporate Status, whether or not he is acting or serving in any such capacity
at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective
successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives.

 12. SECURITY. To the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board, the Company shall at any time and from
time to time provide security to Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral. Any such security, once provided to Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released
without the prior written consent of Indemnitee. 
 13. ENFORCEMENT. 

(a) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 (b) The Company and Indemnitee agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that they each will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United
States located in the state of Delaware or in Delaware State court, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. In addition, each of the Company and Indemnitee (a) consents to submit itself to the
personal jurisdiction of any federal court located in the state of Delaware or any Delaware state court in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by
motion or other request for leave from any such court and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement in any court other than a federal or state court sitting in the state of Delaware. 

  
 11 

 14. SEVERABILITY. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, illegal or otherwise unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each
portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, void, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal, void or otherwise unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and
shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such
provision held to be invalid, illegal, void or otherwise unenforceable), that is not itself invalid, illegal, void or otherwise unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby. 

15. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. No supplement, modification, termination or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless
executed in writing by the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing
waiver.

Credit. During the period from and including the Closing Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender, as issuing bank for the Revolving Lenders, agrees to extend credit for the account of the Borrower at any time and from time
to time by issuing, renewing, extending or reissuing Letters of Credit; provided, however, the Letter of Credit Exposure at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Letter of Credit Commitment or
(ii) the Maximum Line Amount, as then in effect, minus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding. The Revolving Lenders shall participate in such Letters of Credit according to their respective Commitment
Percentage. Each of the Letters of Credit shall 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 21 

 
(i) be issued by the Issuing Lender, (ii) be in the face amount of not less than $10,000, (iii) contain such terms and provisions as are reasonably required by the Issuing Lender,
(iv) be for the account of the Borrower and (v) expire not later than thirteen (13) months from issuance or five days before the Maturity Date. 

(f) Letters of Credit Procedure. The Borrower shall give the Issuing Lender (which shall promptly
notify the Revolving Lenders of such request and their Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit), a Letter of Credit Agreement to be received by the Issuing Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time not less than three Business Days
prior thereto of each request for the issuance, and at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the date of the renewal or extension, of a Letter of Credit hereunder which request shall specify (i) the amount of such Letter of Credit,
(ii) the date (which shall be a Business Day) such Letter of Credit is to be issued, renewed or extended, (iii) the duration thereof, (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, (v) the form or type of the Letter of
Credit and (vi) such other information as the Agent or the Issuing Lender may reasonably request, all of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Issuing Lender, provided, however, in connection with the request
for the initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower may request that the Letter of Credit will be automatically renewed for similar successive periods of time unless and until the Borrower provides a notice no later than 10 days prior to
its expiration to the Issuing Lender that the Letter of Credit should not be renewed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Letter of Credit shall be renewed for a similar successive period of time if its expiration is later
than five days before the Maturity Date. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the date specified for the issuance, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall issue, renew or extend such Letter of Credit
to the beneficiary thereof. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. 

In the event of any conflict between any provision of a Letter of Credit Agreement and this Agreement, the
Borrower, the Issuing Lender, the Agent and the Revolving Lenders hereby agree that the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. 
 The Issuing Lender will send to the Borrower and each Revolving Lender, immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit, or an amendment thereto, a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit, or
such amendment thereto. 
 (g) Letter of Credit Fees. 

(i) The Borrower agrees to pay the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender (to the extent provided in
clause (ii) below) and each Revolving Lender, commissions for issuing the Letters of Credit on the daily average outstanding of the maximum liability of the Issuing Lender existing from time to time under such Letter of Credit (calculated
separately for each Letter of Credit) at the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect with respect to Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans, provided that each Letter of Credit shall bear a minimum commission of $500.00. Each Letter
of Credit shall be deemed to be 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 22 

 
outstanding up to the full face amount of the Letter of Credit until the Issuing Lender has received the canceled Letter of Credit or a written cancellation of the Letter of Credit from the
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in form and substance acceptable to the Issuing Lender, or for any reductions in the amount of the Letter of Credit (other than from a drawing), written notification from the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit.
Such commissions are payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each fiscal quarter of each year. 
 (ii) The Issuing Lender, for its own account, shall retain 12.5% of the amount of each fee payment described in clause (i) above as an issuing fee, and the Agent shall pay to the Revolving Lenders
pro rata the remaining 87.5% of each such fee payment. 
 (iii) Upon each transfer of any Letter
of Credit to a successor beneficiary in accordance with its terms, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a sum in an amount which is in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s then-current fee policy. 

(iv) Upon each drawing of any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own
account a negotiation fee in an amount which is in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s then-current fee policy; provided that such fee shall not be a condition to any drawing. 

(v) Upon each amendment of any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own
account an amendment fee in an amount which is in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s then-current fee policy. 
 (h) Assumption of Risks. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any transferee thereof with respect to its use of such Letter of
Credit. Neither the Issuing Lender (except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender or any of its employees), its correspondents nor the Agent or any Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the
validity, sufficiency or genuineness of certificates or other documents or any endorsements thereon, even if such certificates or other documents should in fact prove to be invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; for errors, omissions,
interruptions or delays in transmissions or delivery of any messages by mail, telex, or otherwise, whether or not they be in code; for errors in translation or for errors in interpretation of technical terms; the validity or sufficiency of any
instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any 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; the failure of
any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon any Letter of Credit; or for any other consequences arising from causes beyond the Issuing Lender’s control or the control
of the Issuing Lender’s correspondents. In addition, neither the Issuing Lender, nor the Agent or any Revolving Lender shall be responsible for any error, neglect, or default of any of the Issuing Lender’s correspondents; and none of the
above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Issuing Lender’s, the Agent’s or any Revolving Lender’s 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 23 

 
rights or powers hereunder or under the Letter of Credit Agreements, all of which rights shall be cumulative. The Issuing Lender and its correspondents may accept certificates or other documents
that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation of any matter contained therein regardless of any notice or information to the contrary. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing provisions, the
Borrower agrees that any action, inaction or omission taken or not taken by the Issuing Lender or by any correspondent for the Issuing Lender in good faith in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any related drafts, certificates, documents or
instruments, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not put the Issuing Lender or its correspondents under any resulting liability to the Borrower. 

(i) Obligation to Reimburse and to Prepay. 

(i) If a disbursement by the Issuing Lender is made under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to
the Agent within five Business Days after notice of any such disbursement is received by the Borrower, the amount of each such disbursement made by the Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit (if such payment is not sooner effected as may be
required under this Section 2(i) or under other provisions of the Letter of Credit), together with interest on the amount disbursed from and including the date of disbursement until payment in full of such disbursed amount at a varying
rate per annum equal to (A) the then applicable interest rate for Base Rate Loans through the fifth Business Day after notice of such disbursement is received by the Borrower and (B) thereafter, the Default Rate for Base Rate Loans (but in
no event to exceed the Maximum Rate) for the period from and including the sixth Business Day following the date of such disbursement to and including the date of repayment in full of such disbursed amount. The obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement with respect to each Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid or performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without
limitation, but only to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the following circumstances: (u) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any of the Loan Documents; (v) any amendment or
waiver of (including any default), or any consent to departure from this Agreement (except to the extent permitted by any amendment or waiver), any Letter of Credit or any of the Loan Documents; or (w) the existence of any claim, set-off,
defense or other rights which the Borrower may have at any time against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the
Issuing Lender, the Agent, any Revolving Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or any unrelated transaction. 

(ii) In the event of the occurrence of, and during the continuance of, any Event of Default, or the
maturity of the Notes evidencing the Revolving Loans, whether by acceleration or otherwise, an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Exposure shall be deemed to be forthwith due and owing by the Borrower

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 24 

 
to the Issuing Lender, the Agent and the Revolving Lenders as of the date of any such occurrence; and the Borrower’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional,
without regard to whether any beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit has attempted to draw down all or a portion of such amount under the terms of a Letter of Credit, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be subject to
any defense or be affected by a right of set-off, counterclaim or recoupment which the Borrower may now or hereafter have against any such beneficiary, the Issuing Lender, the Agent, the Revolving Lenders or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever. Such payments shall be held by the Issuing Lender on behalf of the Revolving Lenders as cash collateral securing the Letter of Credit Exposure in an account or accounts at the Agent’s Office; and the Borrower hereby grants to and by
its deposit with the Agent grants to the Agent a security interest in such cash collateral. Upon reasonable request by the Agent in such circumstances, the Borrower shall immediately execute and deliver to the Agent the Cash Collateral Account
Agreement. In the event of any such payment by the Borrower of amounts contingently owing under outstanding Letters of Credit and in the event that thereafter drafts or other demands for payment complying with the terms of such Letters of Credit are
not made prior to the respective expiration dates thereof, the Agent agrees, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if no other amounts are outstanding under this Agreement, the Notes or the Loan Documents, to remit to the Borrower
amounts for which the contingent obligations evidenced by the Letters of Credit have ceased, provided that if the sole reason for such payment was the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent shall remit such amounts to Borrower as soon
as all Events of Default no longer continue to exist. 
 (iii) Each Revolving Lender severally
and unconditionally agrees that it shall promptly reimburse the Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any disbursement made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit that is not reimbursed
according to this Section 2(i). 
 (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if no Event of Default exists and subject to availability under the Revolving Credit Commitment (after reduction for Letter of Credit Exposure), to the extent the Borrower has not reimbursed the Issuing Lender for any amount drawn
upon a Letter of Credit within five Business Days after notice of such disbursement has been received by the Borrower, the amount of such Letter of Credit reimbursement obligation shall automatically be funded by the Revolving Lenders as a Revolving
Loan hereunder and used by the Revolving Lenders to pay such Letter of Credit reimbursement obligation. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if the funding of such Letter of Credit reimbursement obligation as a Revolving Loan
would cause the aggregate amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding to exceed the amount available under the Revolving Credit Commitment (after reduction for Letter of Credit Exposure), such Letter of Credit reimbursement obligation shall not be
funded as a Revolving Loan, but instead shall accrue interest as provided in Section 2(i)(i). 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 25 

 (j) Fees. 

(i) Unused Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Revolving
Lenders, an unused facility fee at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin times the average actual daily amounts by which the Borrowing Base exceeds the product of the Borrowing Base Utilization times the Borrowing Base. The fee shall be
due and payable quarterly in arrears on each June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31, and upon the termination hereof. The Unused Facility Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears and if there is any change in the
Applicable Margin during any quarter, the average daily amounts for the periods before and after such change shall be computed and multiplied by the appropriate Applicable Margin for each period during which such Applicable Margin was in effect,
with the results being averaged and adjusted to a per annum basis. The Unused Facility Fee shall accrue at all times. 
 (ii) Borrowing Base Increase Fee. The Borrower agrees that it shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders a fee equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the amount of each
increase, if any, in the Borrowing Base above the then current Borrowing Base. Such fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of each such increase. 
 3. Notes Evidencing Loans; Payments of Principal and Interest. 
 (a) Form of Notes - The Revolving Loans made by each Revolving Lender shall be evidenced by a Note made payable to the order of such Revolving Lender, in the amount of such Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Credit Commitment and in the form of Exhibit B hereto with appropriate insertions. The Term Loan made by each Term Loan Lender shall be evidenced by a Note made payable to the order of such Term Loan Lender, in the amount of
such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Percentage of the Term Loan in the form of Exhibit C hereto with appropriate insertions. 
 (b) Interest Rates. The Borrower will pay to the Agent, for the account of each applicable Lender, interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period commencing
on the date such Loan is made to, but excluding, the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum: 
 (i) with respect to any Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Maximum Rate; 

(ii) with respect to any Revolving Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan, for each Interest Period relating
thereto, the Eurodollar-based Rate for such Revolving Loan plus the Applicable Margin (as in effect from time to time), but in no event to exceed the Maximum Rate; 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 26 

 (iii) with respect to any Advance of the Term Loan, the
Eurodollar-based Rate for such Advance plus the Applicable Margin (as in effect from time to time), but in no event to exceed the Maximum Rate; and 

(iv) Interest on Eurodollar Loans and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable, unless such calculation would exceed the Maximum Rate, in which case interest shall be calculated on the per annum basis of
a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. Interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the
period for which such interest is payable. 
 (c) Eurodollar Option. The Interest Option
shall be exercisable by the Borrower, subject to the other limitations set forth herein on the Borrower’s option to designate a portion of the unpaid principal balance of a Revolving Loan as a Eurodollar Loan, only in the manner provided below:

 (i) Notice. On the date hereof, the Borrower shall give the Revolving Lenders written
notice in the form of specifying the initial Interest Option(s) and the respective initial amounts of the Base Rate Loan and Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar Loans designated by the Borrower. If the required Borrowing, Conversion and Continuation
Notice shall not have been timely received by the Agent or fails to designate all or a portion of the unpaid principal amount hereof as either a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Loan in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the
Borrower shall be deemed conclusively to have designated such amounts to be a Base Rate Loan and to have given the Agent notice of such designation. The Borrower may not exercise an Interest Option if the last day of the Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Loan would be after the Maturity Date. 
 (ii) Continuation Options. Subject to
the provisions made in this Section 3(c)(ii), the Borrower may elect to continue all or any part of any Eurodollar Loan beyond the expiration of the then current Interest Period relating thereto by giving advance notice as provided in
Section 2(c) to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders) of such election, specifying the amount of such Revolving Loan to be continued and the Interest Period therefor. In the absence of such a timely and proper
election or an election to convert to a Base Rate Loan under Section 3(c)(iii) below, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue all of such Eurodollar Loan for the same length of Interest Period as its then current
Interest Period. All or any part of any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as provided herein, provided that (a) any continuation of any such Revolving Loan shall be (as to each Revolving Loan as continued for an applicable Interest
Period) in amounts of at least $500,000.00 or any whole multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof and (b) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 27 

 
each Eurodollar Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

(iii) Conversion Options. The Borrower may elect to convert all or any part of any Eurodollar Loan
on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating thereto to a Base Rate Loan by giving advance notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders) of such election. Subject to the provisions made in this
Section 3(c)(iii), the Borrower may elect to convert all or any part of any Base Rate Loan at any time and from time to time to a Eurodollar Loan by giving advance notice as provided in Section 2(c) to the Agent (which shall
promptly notify the Revolving Lenders) of such election. All or any part of any outstanding Revolving Loan may be converted as provided herein, provided that (a) any conversion of any Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan shall be (as to
each such Revolving Loan into which there is a conversion for an applicable Interest Period) in amounts of at least $500,000.00 or any whole multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof and (b) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If
a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan. 
 (iv) Tranche Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, there shall not exist or be outstanding at any time more than seven Eurodollar Tranches. For purposes of
this Section 3(c)(iv), Eurodollar Tranches having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether such Revolving Loans commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Eurodollar Tranches. 

(v) Limitation until Payment of Term Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein and subject to Section 5(i) hereof, until payment in full of the Term Loan, all Revolving Loans shall be Eurodollar Loans. 
 (d) Payment of Interest. Interest hereon shall be payable as follows: 
 (i) accrued interest on any Base Rate Loan shall be payable quarterly in arrears, beginning July 1, 2011, and continuing on the first Business Day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, and on the
Maturity Date; and 
 (ii) accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan shall be payable on the last
day of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, provided that if the Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan is six (6) months or longer, accrued interest on such Eurodollar Loan shall be paid at the end of each three
(3) month period during the term thereof. 
 (e) Payment of Principal. Unless earlier
due in whole or in part pursuant to the mandatory prepayment requirement of Section 7 hereof or unless otherwise accelerated in accordance with the terms hereof, all the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the
Revolving Loans shall be due and payable in full on the 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 28 

 
Maturity Date and all the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loan shall be due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. 

(f) Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will pay to the Agent, for the
account of each Lender, interest at the applicable Default Rate on any principal of any Loan made by such Lender, and (to the fullest extent permitted by law) on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder, under any Loan Document or under
any Note held by such Lender to or for account of such Lender, for the period commencing on the date of an Event of Default shall have occurred until such amount is paid in full or all Events of Default are cured or waived. 

(g) Recapture Rate. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to
any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Maximum Rate applicable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 3(g) and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such
Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Lender computed at the Maximum Rate applicable to such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall
continue to be computed at the Maximum Rate applicable to such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Lender if the total amount of interest had
been computed without giving effect to this Section 3(g). 
 4. Payments; Pro Rata Treatment,
Etc. 
 (a) Payments. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of
principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, and any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, to the Agent at such account as the Agent shall specify by notice
to the Borrower from time to time, not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the date on which such payments shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding
Business Day). Such payments shall be made without (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) defense, set-off or counterclaim. Each payment received by the Agent under this Agreement or any Note for account of a Lender shall be paid
promptly to such Lender in immediately available funds. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of “Interest Period”, if the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any Note would otherwise fall on a day which is not a
Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension. At the time of each payment to the Agent of any principal of or interest on
any borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of the Loans to which such payment shall apply. In the absence of such notice the Agent may specify the Loans to which such payment shall apply, but to the extent possible such payment or prepayment
will be applied first to the Loans comprised of Base Rate Loans. 
 (b) Pro Rata
Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein each Lender agrees that: (i) each borrowing from the Lenders under Section 2(a) and each 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 29 

 
continuation and conversion under Section 2(d) and Section 3(c) shall be made from the Revolving Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, pro rata in accordance with
their Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Percentage, as applicable, each payment of Unused Facility Fee or other fees under Section 2(j) shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitment
Percentage, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Maximum Line Amount under Section 7(d) shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Lender, pro rata according to the amounts of its
respective Revolving Credit Commitment; (ii) each payment of principal of Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amount of the Loans held by the Lenders;
(iii) each payment of interest on Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest due and payable to the respective Lenders; and (iv) each reimbursement by the Borrower of
disbursements under Letters of Credit shall be made for the account of the Issuing Lender or, if funded by the Revolving Lenders, pro rata for the account of the Revolving Lenders, in accordance with the amounts of reimbursement obligations due and
payable to each respective Revolving Lender. 
 (c) Non-receipt of Funds by the Agent.
Unless the Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or the Borrower prior to the date on which such notifying party is scheduled to make payment to the Agent (in the case of a Lender) of the proceeds of a Loan or a payment under a Letter of Credit
to be made by it hereunder or (in the case of the Borrower) a payment to the Agent for account of one or more of the Lenders hereunder (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon
receipt, that it does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Agent, the Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to
the intended recipient(s) on such date and, if such Lender or the Borrower (as the case may be) has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to the Agent the amount so made
available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until, but excluding, the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum which, for any
Lender as recipient, will be equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus one percent (1.0%), and for the Borrower as recipient, will be equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 

(d) Set-off, Sharing of Payments, Etc. 

(i) After the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower agrees that,
in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off, bankers’ Lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall have the right and be entitled (after consultation with the Agent), at its option, to offset balances
held by it or by any of its Affiliates for account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender’s Loans, or any other amount payable to
such Lender hereunder, which is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Borrower), in which case 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 30 

 
it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent thereof, provided that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof. 

(ii) If any Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan made by it under this
Agreement (or reimbursement as to any Letter of Credit) through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s Lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise, and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received a greater
percentage of the principal or interest (or reimbursement) then due hereunder by the Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lenders, it shall promptly (A) notify the Agent and each other Lender thereof and
(B) purchase from such other Lenders participation in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans (or participations in Letters of Credit) made by such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the
case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in
obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal and/or interest on the Loans held by each of the Lenders (or reimbursements of Letters of Credit). To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate
adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans made by
other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s Lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans (or
Letters of Credit) in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with
respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Section 4(d) applies, such
Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 4(d) to share the benefits of any recovery on such secured
claim. 
 (e) Taxes. 

(i) Payments Free and Clear. Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made, in
accordance with Section 4(a), free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case
of each Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) of which the Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender, as
the case may be, is a citizen or resident or in which such Lender has an Applicable Lending Office, (B) the jurisdiction (or any 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 31 

 
political subdivision thereof) in which the Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender is organized, or (C) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which such Lender, the
Issuing Lender or the Agent is presently doing business which taxes are imposed solely as a result of doing business in such jurisdiction (all such excluded taxes being herein referred to as “Excluded Taxes” and all such
non-Excluded Taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being herein referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the Agent (X) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 4(e) such Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (Y) the Borrower shall make such deductions and
(Z) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(ii) Other Taxes. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower
agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect
to, this Agreement, any Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
 (iii) Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes
(including, but not limited to, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 4(e) paid by such Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Agent (on their behalf or on behalf of any Lender),
as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted unless the payment of such Taxes was
not correctly or legally asserted and such Lender’s payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes was the result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any payment pursuant to such indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after
the date any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor to the Borrower, but only if it has been finally determined that such Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Agent owes such Taxes or Other Taxes. If
any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Agent receives a refund or credit in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes for which such Lender, Issuing Lender or the Agent has received payment from the Borrower it shall promptly notify the Borrower of such
refund or credit and shall, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, promptly pay an amount equal to such refund or credit to the Borrower without interest (but with any interest so refunded or credited), provided that the
Borrower, upon the reasonable request of such Lender, the Issuing Lender 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 32 

 
or the Agent, agrees to return such refund or credit (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender or the Agent in the event such Lender or the Agent is required to repay such refund
or credit. 
 (iv) Lender Representations. 

(A) Each Lender represents that it is either (1) a banking association or corporation organized
under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or (2) it is entitled to complete exemption from United States withholding tax imposed on or with respect to any payments, including fees, to be made to it pursuant to this
Agreement (a) under an applicable provision of a tax convention to which the United States of America is a party or (b) because it is acting through a branch, agency or office in the United States of America and any payment to be received
by it hereunder is effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States of America. Each Lender that is not a banking association or corporation organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof agrees to
provide to the Borrower and the Agent on the Closing Date, or on the date of its delivery of the Assignment pursuant to which it becomes a Lender, and at such other times as required by United States law or as the Borrower or the Agent shall
reasonably request, two accurate and complete original signed copies of either (a) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form) certifying that all payments to be made to it hereunder will be effectively connected to a United States
trade or business (the “Form W-8ECI Certification”) or (b) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) certifying that it is entitled to the benefit of a provision of a tax convention to which the United
States of America is a party which completely exempts from United States withholding tax all payments to be made to it hereunder (the “Form W-8BEN Certification”). In addition, each Lender agrees that if it previously filed a Form
W-8ECI Certification, it will deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a new Form W-8ECI Certification prior to the first payment date occurring in each of its subsequent taxable years; and if it previously filed a Form W-8BEN Certification, it will
deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a new certification prior to the first payment date falling in the third year following the previous filing of such certification. Each Lender also agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent such other or
supplemental forms as may at any time be required as a result of changes in applicable law or regulation in order to confirm or maintain in effect its entitlement to exemption from United States withholding tax on any payments hereunder,
provided that the circumstances of such Lender at the relevant time and applicable laws permit it to do so. If a Lender determines, as a result of any change in either (i) a Governmental Requirement or (ii) its circumstances, that
it is unable to submit any form or certificate that it is obligated to submit pursuant to this Section 4(e), or that it is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 33 

 
previously submitted, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of such fact. If a Lender is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America, unless the
Borrower and the Agent have received a Form W-8BEN Certification or Form W-8ECI Certification satisfactory to them indicating that all payments to be made to such Lender hereunder are not subject to United States withholding tax, the Borrower
shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Borrower or the Agent, as applicable, from any United States taxes, penalties, interest and other expenses, costs and
losses incurred or payable by (i) the Agent as a result of such Lender’s failure to submit any form or certificate that it is required to provide pursuant to this Section 4(e) or (ii) the Borrower or the Agent as a result
of their reliance on any such form or certificate which such Lender has provided to them pursuant to this Section 4(e). 
 (B) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the form required pursuant to this Section 4(e), if any, (other than if such failure is due to a
change in a Governmental Requirement occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 4(e)(iii) with respect to taxes imposed by
the United States which taxes would not have been imposed but for such failure to provide such forms; provided, however, that if a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject
to taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps, at such Lender’s cost, as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such taxes. 

(C) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4(e) shall
use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by the Borrower or the Agent or to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office or to contest any tax imposed if the
making of such a filing or change or contesting such tax would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to
such Lender. 
 (f) Several Obligations. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be
made by it or to provide funds for disbursements or reimbursements under Letters of Credit on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan or provide funds on such date, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender or to provide funds to be provided by such other Lender.

AGREEMENT – Page 34 

 5. Capital Adequacy and Additional Costs. 

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Regulatory Change shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, minimum capital,
capital ratio insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with, other liabilities of or for the account of, or the Revolving Credit Commitment or Loans of such Lender or Issuing Lender or the Eurodollar interbank market;

 (ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect
to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit, any Eurodollar Loan made by it or any Note in respect of any such Eurodollar Loans or Letters of Credit, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or
the Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for any indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 4(e) and Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender); or 

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or the Eurodollar interbank market any other condition,
cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or
participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Loans (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loans), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its
obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), and if such costs or
reduced amounts (collectively, the “Additional Costs”) are not otherwise covered by fees and interest charges provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, then, upon reasonable request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Borrower
will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such reasonable Additional Costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any
Regulatory Change affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements imposes any costs on any such Lender,
Issuing Lender, or holding company of either has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company,
if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or the Advances made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below
that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 35 

 
Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies
and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), and if such costs or reduced rate of return are not otherwise covered by fees and interest charges provided for elsewhere in this
Agreement, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing
Lender’s holding company for any such reasonable costs imposed or reduction suffered. 
 (c)
Regulatory Change. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of Section 5(a), in the event that at any time (by reason of any Regulatory Change or any other circumstances arising after the Closing Date affecting (i) any
Lender, (ii) the Eurodollar interbank market or (iii) such Lender’s position in such market), Eurodollar, as determined in good faith by such Lender, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding its
Eurodollar Loans, then, if such Lender so elects, by notice to the Borrower and the Agent, the obligation of such Lender to make additional Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change or other circumstances ceases to be in
effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5(i) shall be applicable). 
 (d)
Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, together with supporting documentation and calculations, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error, so long as such determinations
are made on a reasonable basis. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

(e) [Reserved.] 

(f) [Reserved.] 

(g) Limitation on Eurodollar Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or
prior to the determination of any Eurodollar-based Rate for any Interest Period the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the
definition of “Eurodollar-based Rate” are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Eurodollar Loans as provided herein, then the Agent shall give the
Borrower prompt notice thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Loans. 

(h) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes
unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make Eurodollar

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 36 

 
Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5(i) shall be applicable). 

(i) Base Rate Loans Pursuant to Sections 5(c), 5(g) and 5(h). If the obligation of any Lender
to make Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Sections 5(c), 5(g) or 5(h) (“Affected Loans”), all Affected Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender shall be made instead as Base Rate
Loans (and, if an event referred to in Section 5(c) or Section 5(h) has occurred and such Lender so reasonably requests by notice to the Borrower, all Affected Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically
converted into Base Rate Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Affected Loans are so made as (or converted into) Base Rate Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such
Lender’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans. 
 (j)
Eurodollar Loan Breakage Costs. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender within thirty (30) days of receipt of written request of such Lender (which request shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for requesting such amounts,
together with supporting documentation and calculations, and which shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis), such amount or amounts as shall compensate it for any loss,
cost, expense or liability which such Lender determines are attributable to: 
 (i) any payment,
prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan properly made by such Lender or the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 13(b)) on a date other than the last day of the
Interest Period for such Loan; or 
 (ii) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including
but not limited to, the failure of any of the conditions precedent specified in Section 10 to be satisfied) to borrow, continue or convert a Eurodollar Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, continuation or conversion
specified in the relevant notice given pursuant to Section 2(c). 
 Without limiting the effect of the preceding
sentence, such compensation shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid or converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of such
payment, prepayment or conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date specified for such
borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan provided for herein (less the Applicable Margin) over (y) the interest component of the amount such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading
banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Lender). 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 37 

 (k) Time Limit; Etc. 

(i) Time Limited. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5,
the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse or pay any costs or expenses to any Lender as required by such sections which have accrued more than 180 days prior to such Lender’s giving notice to the Borrower that such Lender has suffered or
incurred such costs or expenses. 
 (ii) Non-Discriminatory Basis. None of the Lenders
shall be permitted to pass through to the Borrower costs and expenses under this Section 5 which are not also passed through by such Lender to other customers of such Lender similarly situated when such customer is subject to documents
containing substantively similar provisions as those contained in such Sections. 
 (l)
Replacement Lenders. 
 (i) If any Lender has notified the Borrower and the Agent of its
incurring Additional Costs or other costs under Section 5(a) or has required the Borrower to make payments for Taxes under Section 4(e), or such Lender’s obligation to make Eurodollar Loans has been suspended under
Section 5(c), 5(g) or 5(h), then the Borrower may, unless such Lender has notified the Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer apply, terminate, in whole but not in part, the
Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender (other than the Agent) (the “Terminated Lender”) at any time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Terminated Lender and the Agent (such notice referred to
herein as a “Notice of Termination”). 
 (ii) In order to effect the termination
of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Terminated Lender, the Borrower shall: (A) obtain an agreement with one or more Revolving Lenders to increase their Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Commitments and/or (B) request
any one or more other banking institutions to become parties to this Agreement in place and instead of such Terminated Lender and agree to accept a Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that
such one or more other banking institutions are reasonably acceptable to the Agent and become parties by executing an Assignment (the Revolving Lenders or other banking institutions that agree to accept in whole or in part the Revolving Credit
Commitment of the Terminated Lender or to purchase any Loan held by the Terminated Lender being referred to herein as the “Replacement Lenders”), such that the aggregate increased and/or accepted Revolving Credit Commitments of the
Replacement Lenders under clauses (A) and (B) above equal the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Terminated Lender. 
 (iii) The Notice of Termination shall include the name of the Terminated Lender, the date the termination will occur (the “Lender Termination Date”), and the Replacement Lender or
Replacement Lenders to which the Terminated Lender will assign its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 38 

 
Loan Percentage of the Term Loan and, if there will be more than one Replacement Lender, the portion of the Terminated Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment to be assigned to each Replacement
Lender. 
 (iv) On the Lender Termination Date, (A) the Terminated Lender shall by execution
and delivery of an Assignment assign its Revolving Credit Commitment to the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders (pro rata, if there is more than one Replacement Lender, in proportion to the portion of the Terminated Lender’s Revolving
Credit Commitment to be assigned to each Replacement Lender) indicated in the Notice of Termination and shall assign to the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders each of its Loans (if any) then outstanding and participation interests in Letters
of Credit (if any) then outstanding (pro rata as aforesaid), (B) the Terminated Lender shall endorse its Notes, payable without recourse, representation or warranty to the order of the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders (pro rata as
aforesaid), (C) the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders shall purchase the Notes held by the Terminated Lender (pro rata as aforesaid) at a price equal to the unpaid principal amount thereof plus interest and facility and other fees
accrued and unpaid to the Lender Termination Date, and (D) the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders will thereupon (pro rata as aforesaid) succeed to and be substituted in all respects for the Terminated Lender with like effect as if
becoming a Lender pursuant to the terms of Section 15(f), and the Terminated Lender will have the rights and benefits of an Assignor under Section 15(f). To the extent not in conflict, the terms of Section 15(f)
shall supplement the provisions of this Section 5(l)(iv). For each Assignment made under this Section 5(l), the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Agent the processing fee provided for in Section 15(f). The
Borrower will be responsible for the payment of any breakage costs associated with termination and Replacement Lenders, as set forth in Section 5(j). 

6. Borrowing Base. 

(a) Initial Borrowing Base. The Revolving Lenders shall determine in their sole discretion the
amount of the Borrowing Base using such methodology, assumptions, economic and pricing parameters, and discount rates as the Revolving Lenders customarily use in assigning collateral value to oil and gas properties at the time in question and based
upon such other credit factors as the Revolving Lenders customarily consider in evaluating oil and gas credits. The Borrower acknowledges that the determination of the Borrowing Base contains an equity cushion (market value in excess of loan amount)
which the Borrower acknowledges to be essential for the adequate protection of the Revolving Lenders. It is expressly understood that the Revolving Lenders have no obligation to designate the Borrowing Base at any particular amount, except in the
exercise of their sole discretion, whether in relation to the Maximum Line Amount or otherwise. During the period from Closing Date, to the date a new Borrowing Base is made effective pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrowing Base shall be
$80,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrowing 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 39 

 
Base may be subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to Section 11(h) and Section 12(e). 

(b) Borrowing Base Limitation. The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined semi-annually in accordance
with this Section 6 as of each Scheduled Redetermination Date commencing on November 1, 2011. In addition, the Borrower may, by notifying the Agent thereof, and the Agent may, at the direction of the Required Revolving Lenders, by
notifying the Borrower thereof, one time during any 12-month period, each elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined between Scheduled Redeterminations; provided, however, that the Agent may cause the Borrowing Base to be
redetermined within 90 days of the Closing Date, which redetermination shall not count towards the limitation set forth above (an “Unscheduled Redetermination”). After each such redetermination, the Agent shall promptly notify the
Borrower in writing of the new Borrowing Base. If an Unscheduled Redetermination is made, the Agent shall notify the Borrower of the new Borrowing Base, and such new Borrowing Base shall continue until the next redetermination of the Borrowing Base.

 (c) Scheduled and Unscheduled Redetermination Procedure. 

(i) Each Scheduled Redetermination and each Unscheduled Redetermination shall be effectuated as follows:
Upon receipt by the Agent of (A) the Reserve Report and the certificate required to be delivered by the Borrower to the Agent, in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, pursuant to Section 11(g)(i), and, in the case of an
Unscheduled Redetermination, pursuant to Section 11(g)(ii), and (B) such other reports, data and supplemental information, including, without limitation, the information provided pursuant to this Section 6(c), as may,
from time to time, be reasonably requested by the Required Revolving Lenders (the Reserve Report, such certificate and such other reports, data and supplemental information being the “Engineering Reports”), the Agent shall evaluate the
information contained in the Engineering Reports and shall, in good faith, propose a new Borrowing Base (the “Proposed Borrowing Base”) based upon such information and such other information (including, without limitation, the status of
title information with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties as described in the Engineering Reports, indicating whether such Oil and Gas Properties are Mortgaged Properties, and the existence of any other Debt) as the Agent deems appropriate in its
sole discretion and consistent with its normal oil and gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time. In no event shall the Proposed Borrowing Base exceed the Maximum Line Amount. 

(ii) The Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders of the Proposed Borrowing Base (the
“Proposed Borrowing Base Notice”): 
 (A) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination
(1) if the Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 11(g)(i) in a timely and complete manner, then on or before the Scheduled Redetermination Date of such year
following the date of delivery or (2) if the Agent shall not have 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 40 

 
received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 11(g)(i) in a timely and complete manner, then promptly after the 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 6, and in any event, within thirty (30) days after the Agent has received the
required Engineering Reports; and 
 (B) in the case of an Unscheduled Redetermination,
promptly, and in any event, within fifteen (15) days after the Agent has received the required Engineering Reports. 
 (iii) Any Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved or deemed to have been approved by all of the Revolving Lenders as provided in this
Section 6(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 the Required Revolving Lenders as provided in this
Section 6(c)(iii). Upon receipt of the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice, each Revolving 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) days, any Revolving Lender has not communicated its approval or disapproval in writing to the Agent, such silence shall be deemed to be an approval of the Proposed Borrowing Base. If,
at the end of such 15-day period, all of the Revolving Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, or the Required Revolving 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 6(d). If,
however, at the end of such 15-day period, all of the Revolving Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, have not approved or deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, then the Agent shall poll the Revolving Lenders to ascertain the
highest Borrowing Base then acceptable to all of the Revolving Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, and, so long as such amount does not increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, such amount shall become the new Borrowing
Base, effective on the date specified in Section 6(d). 
 If any Revolving Lender disagrees with the
Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the then existing Borrowing Base (each, a “Dissenting Lender”), then, if a Borrowing Base is agreed to that is lower than such Proposed Borrowing Base or no new Borrowing Base is agreed
to, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to a Dissenting Lender and the Agent, require such Dissenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 15(f)), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Revolving Lender, if a Revolving Lender accepts such assignment);
provided  

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 41 

 
that, (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent and the Issuing Bank, which consent in each case shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed and
(B) such Revolving Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Revolving Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Exposure, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable
to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). 

(d) Effectiveness of a Redetermined Borrowing Base. After a redetermined Borrowing Base is approved
or is deemed to have been approved by all of the Revolving Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii), the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Revolving 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 Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders: 

(i) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, (A) if the Agent shall have received the Engineering
Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 11(g) in a timely and complete manner, then on the Scheduled Redetermination Date, as applicable, following such notice, or (B) if the Agent shall not have
received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 11(g) in a timely and complete manner, then on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice; and 

(ii) in the case of an Unscheduled Redetermination, on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such
notice. 
 Such amount shall then become the Borrowing Base until the next Scheduled Redetermination Date, the next Unscheduled
Redetermination Date or the next adjustment to the Borrowing Base under Section 11(h) or Section 12(e), whichever occurs first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Scheduled Redetermination or Unscheduled Redetermination shall
become effective until the New Borrowing Base Notice related thereto is received by the Borrower. 
 (e) The Agent may exclude any Oil and Gas Property, Mortgaged Property or portion of production therefrom or any income from any other Property from the Borrowing Base, at any time, because title
information is not reasonably satisfactory, such Property is not a Mortgaged Property or such Property is not assignable. 
 7. Prepayments; Reductions of Revolving Credit Commitment. 
 (a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans upon prior notice to the Agent, without penalty or premium (other than amounts due from the Borrower
under Section 5(j) in connection with any Eurodollar Loan that is repaid or converted prior to the expiration of the corresponding Interest Period), in whole or in part; provided, however, that the Term Loan may not be
prepaid under this Section 7(a) if, after giving effect to such prepayment, the outstanding amount of the Loans would be greater than $25,000,000. Such notice shall specify the 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 42 

 
prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the prepayment and shall be irrevocable and effective only upon receipt by the Agent. Each such prepayment shall be deemed made
on the Business Day made if good funds are received by the Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. Central time and on the next Business Day if good funds are received after 11:00 a.m. Central time and shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 or the
unpaid balance on the Loans, whichever is less. 
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments. 

(i) Borrowing Base Prepayment. If, as a result of any determination of the Borrowing Base, the sum
of the outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Loans and the Letter of Credit Exposure exceeds the Borrowing Base, then either (A) such excess shall be paid in six (6) equal consecutive monthly installments by the Borrower, with the
first such installment being due on that day which is thirty (30) days after notification by the Agent to the Borrower that such an excess exists and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter until paid; or (B) within twenty-five
(25) days of the notification of the Borrower by the Agent of such excess, the Borrower shall pledge to, or create in favor of, the Agent, for the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, first priority Liens in, to and on additional collateral
satisfactory in nature and value to all the Revolving Lenders in their sole judgment to increase the Borrowing Base to an amount equal to cover such excess. Those Revolving Loans to be repaid as excess payments shall be Base Rate Loans, if the
aggregate Base Rate Loans equal or exceed the total excess payments due, and if the aggregate Base Rate Loans are less than the total excess payments due, those Revolving Loans to be repaid shall first be all Base Rate Loans and then those
Eurodollar Loans which the Borrower identifies within ten (10) Business Days of a reasonable request from the Agent, or if the Borrower fails to make such identification, those Eurodollar Loans identified by the Agent. The Borrower will be
liable for all breakage costs in connection with the early termination of any Eurodollar Loan in accordance with the terms of Section 5(j) of this Agreement. The Borrower’s failure (x) to make monthly Borrowing Base excess
payments pursuant to the six (6) month amortization schedule set forth above or (y) to pledge to the Agent additional collateral in an amount which brings said indebtedness within Borrowing Base within such twenty-five (25) days of
notification by the Agent shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement which shall entitle the Required Lenders to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, and to institute foreclosure proceedings or otherwise exercise all remedies which
they may have under the Notes, the Agreement, the Loan Documents or applicable law. 
 (ii)
Other Mandatory Prepayments. Prepayments of outstanding Loans shall be made upon certain significant company events, as follows: 
 (A) Asset Sales. The Borrower shall prepay (or, as applicable, cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Exposure) from the proceeds of all sales of Mortgaged Properties, less the costs of sale and
reservations for taxes, within five days of receipt of such proceeds, an amount equal to 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 43 

 
100% of the value assigned to such Mortgaged Properties in the Borrowing Base as determined in the most recent Scheduled Redetermination or Unscheduled Redetermination. 

(B) Future Debt Issuances. The Borrower shall prepay (or, as applicable, cash collateralize the
Letter of Credit Exposure), within five days of receipt, 100% of the net proceeds of all Debt, other than Debt permitted under Section 12(a) or under any waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents. 

(C) Future Equity Issuances. The Borrower shall prepay, within five days of receipt of the
proceeds of any issuance of stock in connection with any initial public offering of the Borrower, the outstanding amount of the Term Loan. 
 (iii) Application of Other Mandatory Prepayments. The prepayments described in Section 7(b)(ii) shall first be applied to the outstanding amount of the Term Loan. Upon payment in full
of the Term Loan and except with respect to the prepayment described in Section 7(b)(ii)(C), any remaining prepayments shall instead be applied to prepay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans and to cash collateralize any Letter
of Credit Exposure. If any portion of such prepayments remains after application to the Term Loan and, if applicable, Revolving Loans and, if applicable, after the cash collateralization of any Letter of Credit Exposure, such portion shall be
returned to the Borrower. 
 (c) Generally. The outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of
Credit Exposure shall at all times be equal to or less than the lesser of (i) the Maximum Line Amount after adjustments resulting from reductions pursuant to Section 7(d) or mandatory prepayments pursuant to
Section 7(b)(ii) or (ii) the Borrowing Base as determined from time to time. 

(d) Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or to
reduce the amount of the Maximum Line Amount or Borrowing Base at any time, or from time to time, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders) of each such termination or
reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction (which shall not be less than $500,000.00 or any whole multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof) and shall be irrevocable and effective only upon
receipt by the Agent; provided, however, that the Borrower may not so terminate or reduce the Maximum Line Amount if, after giving effect to such termination or reduction, the outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Loans and
the Letter of Credit Exposure would exceed the Maximum Line Amount. 
 8. Collateral Security. To secure

benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender first and prior Liens in and to the Collateral and Oil and Gas Properties constituting no less than 80% of the value assigned to its Oil and Gas Properties in the Reserve Report as of December 31,

of Hydrocarbons produced from the Mortgaged Properties and a pledge of the stock or ownership interests of the Borrower in the Subsidiaries. 
 The granting and assigning of such Liens by the Borrower and each Guarantor shall be pursuant to Security Instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent. The Borrower and each Guarantor will
cause to be executed and delivered to the Agent, in the future, additional Security Instruments if the Agent reasonably deems such are necessary to insure perfection or maintenance of its Liens in the Collateral and the Mortgaged Properties.

 9. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders
that (each representation and warranty herein is given as of the Closing Date and shall be deemed repeated and reaffirmed on the dates of each borrowing and issuance, renewal, extension or reissuance of a Letter of Credit as provided in
Section 2(e)):

Borrower, each Guarantor, and each Subsidiary: (i) is a corporation, limited liability company, or a partnership duly organized, legally existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; (ii) has all

Subsidiaries as at said dates and the results of its operations for the fiscal year and the three month period ending on said dates, all in accordance with GAAP, as applied on a consistent basis (subject, in the case of the interim Financial
Statements, to normal year-end adjustments, including tests for impairment of assets, and lack of footnotes). Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has on the Closing Date any material Debt, contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual
forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any

Statements or in Schedule 9(b). Except as disclosed to the Lenders, since September 30, 2010, there has been no change or event having a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed to the Lenders, since the date of the Financial
Statements, neither the business nor the Properties of the Borrower or any Subsidiary have been materially and adversely affected as a result of any fire, explosion, earthquake, flood, drought, windstorm, accident, strike or other labor disturbance,
embargo, requisition or taking of Property or cancellation of contracts, permits or concessions by any Governmental Authority, riot, activities of armed forces or acts of God or of any public enemy. 

(c) Litigation and Judgments. Except as disclosed to the Lenders in Schedule 9(c)
hereto or hereafter in writing: (i) there is no litigation, legal, administrative or arbitral proceeding, investigation or other action of any nature pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened in writing against or affecting the
Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, or any Guarantor which involves the possibility of any judgment or liability against the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, or any Guarantor not fully covered by insurance (except for normal deductibles), and which
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (ii) there are no outstanding judgments against the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, or any Guarantor. 

(d) No Breach. Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, nor compliance with the
terms and provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any consent which has not been obtained as of the Closing Date under, the respective charter, by-laws, or partnership agreement of the Borrower, any Guarantor, or
any Subsidiary, or any Governmental Requirement or, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge and belief, any material agreement or instrument to which the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound or to which
it or its Properties are subject, or, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge and belief, constitute a default under any such agreement or instrument, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the revenues or assets of the
Borrower, any Guarantor, or any Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument other than the Liens created by the Loan Documents. 

(e) Authority. The Borrower, each Guarantor, and each Subsidiary have all necessary corporate and
partnership power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party; and the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower, each Guarantor and each Subsidiary of the Loan Documents to
which it is a party, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and partnership action on its part; and the Loan Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and each Subsidiary, enforceable in accordance
with their terms, except as such enforceability may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and by general principles of equity.

AGREEMENT – Page 46 

 (f) Approvals. To the best of the Borrower’s
knowledge and belief, no authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no filings or registrations with, any Governmental Authority or any Person are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any
Subsidiary of the Loan Documents or for the validity or enforceability thereof, except for the recording and filing of the Security Instruments as required by this Agreement. 

(g) Use of Loans. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be used by the Borrower to provide for
the working capital, for the purpose of acquiring oil and gas properties, for the development and operational activities with respect to oil and gas properties, and general corporate purposes of the Borrower. The proceeds of the Term Loan shall be
used by the Borrower to provide for acquisition financing for the Eagle Ford Acquisition and for the purpose of paying the costs and expenses associated with the drilling and completion of the initial well committed to be drilled and completed under
the Eagle Ford Acquisition Documents. Neither the Borrower, any Guarantor, nor any Subsidiary is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or
ultimate, of buying or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and no part of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder will be used to buy or carry any margin stock.

 (h) ERISA. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge and belief: 

(i) The Borrower, each Subsidiary and each ERISA Affiliate have complied in all material respects with
ERISA and, where applicable, the Code regarding each Plan, if any. 
 (ii) Each Plan, if any, is,
and has been, maintained in substantial compliance with ERISA and, where applicable, the Code. 

(iii) No act, omission or transaction has occurred which could result in imposition on the Borrower, any
Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate (whether directly or indirectly) of (A) either a civil penalty assessed pursuant to Section 502(c), (i) or (l) of ERISA or a tax imposed pursuant to Chapter 43 of Subtitle D of the Code
or (B) breach of fiduciary duty liability damages under Section 409 of ERISA. 
 (iv)
No Plan, if any, (other than a defined contribution plan) and no trust created under any such Plan has been terminated. No liability to the PBGC (other than for the payment of current premiums which are not past due) by the Borrower, any Subsidiary
or any ERISA Affiliate has been or is expected by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate to be incurred with respect to any Plan. No ERISA Event with respect to any Plan has occurred. 

(v) Full payment when due has been made of all amounts which the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA
Affiliate is required under the terms of each Plan, if any, or applicable law to have paid as contributions to such Plan, and 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 47 

 
no accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, exists with respect to any Plan. 

(vi) The actuarial present value of the benefit liabilities under any Plan which is subject to
Title IV of ERISA does not, as of the end of the Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year, exceed the current value of the assets (computed on a plan termination basis in accordance with Title IV of ERISA) of such Plan allocable to
such benefit liabilities. The term “actuarial present value of the benefit liabilities” shall have the meaning specified in Section 4041 of ERISA. 

(vii) None of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate sponsors, maintains, or contributes to
an employee welfare benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA, including, without limitation, any such plan maintained to provide benefits to former employees of such entities, that may not be terminated by the Borrower, a Subsidiary or
any ERISA Affiliate in its sole discretion at any time without any material liability. 
 (viii)
None of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate sponsors, maintains or contributes to, or has at any time in the preceding six calendar years, sponsored, maintained or contributed to, any multiemployer Plan. 

(ix) None of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate is required to provide security under
Section 401(a)(29) of the Code due to a Plan amendment that results in an increase in current liability for the Plan. 
 (i) Taxes. Except as set out in Schedule 9(i) or as otherwise disclosed to the Lenders in writing, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge and belief, each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has filed all United States Federal income tax returns and all other tax returns which are required to be filed by them before the applicable due date (taking into account all available extensions) and have paid all material taxes due
pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in the
opinion of the Borrower, adequate. No tax Lien has been filed and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge. 

(j) Titles, Etc. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge and belief: 

(i) Except as set out in Schedule 9(j) or as otherwise disclosed to the Lenders in writing,
each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good and defensible title to its material (individually or in the aggregate) Properties, free and clear of all Liens, except Liens permitted by Section 12(b). Except as set forth in
Schedule 9(j) or as otherwise disclosed to the Lenders in writing, after giving full effect to the Permitted Liens, the Borrower owns at least the net interests in production attributable to the Hydrocarbon Interests reflected in the
most recently delivered Reserve Report and the ownership of such Properties shall not in any material respect obligate the Borrower to bear the costs and 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 48 

 
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. All factual information, as opposed to projections, contained in the most recently delivered Reserve Report is true and correct in all material respects as of the date thereof. 

(ii) All leases and agreements necessary in any material respect for the conduct of the business of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries are valid and subsisting, in full force and effect (including as to depths) and there exists no default or event or circumstance which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would give rise to a
default under any such lease or leases, which would affect in any material respect the conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. 

(iii) Without regard to any consent or non-consent provision of any joint operating agreement covering any
of the Mortgaged Properties, the Borrower’s share of (A) the costs for each Mortgaged Property is not greater than the decimal fraction set forth in Exhibit A hereto for such Mortgaged Property, before and after payout, as the case
may be, and described therein by the respective designations working interest (WI), gross working interest (GWI) or similar terms, and (B) production from, allocated to or attributed to each such Mortgaged Property is not less than the decimal
fraction set forth in such Exhibit A hereto for such Mortgaged Property, before and after payout, as the case may be, and described therein by the designations net revenue interest (NRI) or similar terms. 

(iv) The rights, Properties and other assets presently owned, leased or licensed by the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries including, without limitation, all easements and rights of way, include all rights, Properties and other assets necessary to permit the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to conduct their business in all material respects in the same manner
as such business has been conducted prior to the Closing Date. 
 (v) All of the assets and
Properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are reasonably necessary for the operation of their business are in good working condition and are maintained in accordance with prudent business standards. 

(k) No Material Misstatements. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge and belief, the written
information, statements, exhibits, certificates, documents and reports, taken as a whole, furnished to the Agent and the Lenders (or any of them) by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document do not contain any material misstatement of fact and do not omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statement contained therein not materially misleading in the light of the circumstances in which
made and with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Utility Holding Company Act. No Borrower or any Subsidiary is engaged and will not engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued
by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, and none of the Borrower, any Person controlling the Borrower, or any Subsidiary is or is required to be registered as an “investment company” under

the address stated on the signature page of this Agreement, and the principal place of business and chief executive office of each Subsidiary are located at the addresses stated on Schedule 9(n). 

(o) Defaults. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge and belief, neither the Borrower nor any
Subsidiary is in default nor has any event or circumstance occurred which, but for the expiration of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument to which the
Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party or by which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(p) Environmental Matters. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge and belief, except
(i) as provided in Schedule 9(p) or as otherwise disclosed to the Lenders in writing or (ii) as would not have a Material Adverse Effect (or with respect to (C), (D) and (E) below, where the failure to take such
actions would not have a Material Adverse Effect): 
 (A) Neither any Property of the Borrower
or any Subsidiary nor the operations conducted thereon violate any order or requirement of any court or Governmental Authority arising under Environmental Laws or any Environmental Laws; 

(B) Without limitation of clause (A) above, no Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary nor the
operations currently conducted thereon or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, by any prior owner or operator of such Property or operation, are in violation of or subject to any existing, pending or threatened action, suit, investigation,
inquiry or proceeding by or before any court or Governmental Authority arising under Environmental Laws or to any remedial obligations under Environmental Laws; 

(C) All notices, permits, licenses or similar authorizations, if any, required to be obtained or filed in
connection with the operation or use of any and all Property of the Borrower and each Subsidiary, including 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 50 

 
without limitation past or present treatment, storage, disposal or release of a hazardous substance or solid waste into the environment, have been duly obtained or filed, and the Borrower and
each Subsidiary are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such notices, permits, licenses and similar authorizations; 
 (D) All hazardous substances, solid waste, and oil and gas exploration and production wastes, if any, generated at any and all Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary have in the past been transported,
treated and disposed of in accordance with Environmental Laws and so as not to pose an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health or welfare or the environment, and, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, all such transport carriers and
treatment and disposal facilities have been and are operating in compliance with Environmental Laws and so as not to pose an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health or welfare or the environment, and are not the subject of any
existing, pending or threatened action, investigation or inquiry by any Governmental Authority in connection with any Environmental Laws; 
 (E) The Borrower has taken all steps reasonably necessary to determine and has determined that no hazardous substances, solid waste, or oil and gas exploration and production wastes, have been disposed of
or otherwise released and there has been no threatened release of any hazardous substances on or to any Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary except in compliance with Environmental Laws and so as not to pose an imminent and substantial
endangerment to public health or welfare or the environment; 
 (F) To the extent applicable,
all Property of the Borrower and each Subsidiary currently satisfies all design, operation, and equipment requirements imposed by the OPA or scheduled as of the Closing Date to be imposed by OPA during the term of this Agreement, and the Borrower
does not have any reason to believe that such Property, to the extent subject to OPA, will not be able to maintain compliance with the OPA requirements during the term of this Agreement; and 

(G) Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has any known contingent liability in connection with any
release or threatened release of any oil, hazardous substance or solid waste into the environment. 
 (q) Compliance with the Law. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge and belief, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has violated any Governmental Requirement or failed to obtain any
license, permit, franchise or other governmental authorization necessary for the ownership of any of its Properties or the conduct of its business, which violation or failure would have (in the event such violation or failure were asserted by any
Person through appropriate action) a Material Adverse Effect. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge and belief, except for such acts or failures to act as 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 51 

 
would not have a Material Adverse Effect, the Oil and Gas Properties (and properties unitized therewith) have been maintained, operated and developed in a good and workmanlike manner and in
conformity with all applicable laws and all rules, regulations and orders of all duly constituted authorities having jurisdiction and in conformity with the provisions of all leases, subleases or other contracts comprising a part of the Hydrocarbon
Interests and other contracts and agreements forming a part of the Oil and Gas Properties; specifically in this connection, (i) after the Closing Date, no Oil and Gas Property is subject to having allowable production reduced below the full and
regular allowable (including the maximum permissible tolerance) because of any overproduction (whether or not the same was permissible at the time) prior to the Closing Date and (ii) none of the wells comprising a part of the Oil and Gas
Properties (or properties unitized therewith) are deviated from the vertical more than the maximum permitted by applicable laws, regulations, rules and orders, and such wells are, in fact, bottomed under and are producing from, and 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). 
 (r) Insurance. The insurance certificate(s) delivered pursuant to Section 10(a)(vi) and attached hereto as Schedule 9(r) contains an accurate and complete description of all
material policies of fire, liability, workmen’s compensation and other forms of insurance owned or held by the Borrower and each Subsidiary. All such policies are in full force and effect, all premiums with respect thereto covering all periods
up to and including the Closing Date have been paid, and no notice of cancellation or termination has been received with respect to any such policy. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge and belief, such policies are sufficient for compliance
in all material respects with all requirements of law and of all material agreements to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party; are valid, outstanding and enforceable policies; provide adequate insurance coverage in at least such amounts
and against at least such risks (but including in any event public liability) as are usually insured against in the same general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar business for the assets and operations of the Borrower and each
Subsidiary; will remain in full force and effect through the respective dates set forth in such certificate(s) without the payment of additional premiums; and will not in any way be affected by, or terminate or lapse by reason of, the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has been refused any insurance with respect to its assets or operations, nor has its coverage been limited below usual and customary policy limits, by an insurance carrier to
which it has applied for any such insurance or with which it has carried insurance during the last three years. All such policies name the Agent as additional insured, loss payee, and contain endorsements for no cancellation thereof without thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice to the Agent on all such policies. 
 (s) Commodity
Hedging Agreements. Schedule 9(s) sets forth, as of the Closing Date, a true and complete list of all Commodity Hedging Agreements (including commodity price swap agreements, forward agreements or contracts of sale which provide for
prepayment for deferred shipment or delivery of oil, gas or other commodities) of the Borrower and each Subsidiary, the material terms thereof (including the type, term, effective date, termination date and notional amounts or volumes), the net

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 52 

 
mark to market value thereof, all credit support agreements relating thereto (including any margin required or supplied), and the counter party to each such agreement. 

(t) Restriction on Liens. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge and belief, neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement or arrangement (other than this Agreement, the Security Instruments or any other Loan Document), or subject to any order, judgment, writ or decree, which either restricts or purports
to restrict its ability to grant Liens to other Persons on or in respect of their respective assets or Properties except for (i) customary anti-assignment clauses applying only to the contracts or agreements of which such clauses are a part and
(ii) assets subject to Permitted Liens. 
 (u) [Reserved.] 

(v) Solvency. Immediately after the initial Advance and after giving effect to the application of
the proceeds of the initial Advance, (i) the fair value of the Property of the Borrower, each Guarantor, and each of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries on an individual and consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed its debts and
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the Property of the Borrower, each Guarantor, and each of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries on an individual and consolidated basis will be greater than
the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Borrower, each Guarantor, and
each of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries on an individual and consolidated basis will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) the
Borrower, each Guarantor, and each of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries on an individual and consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and
is proposed to be conducted following the initial Advance. 
 (w) Gas Imbalances. To the
best of the Borrower’s knowledge and belief, except as set forth on Schedule 9(w) or on the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to Section 11(g), on a net basis there are no gas imbalances, take or pay or other
prepayments with respect to the Borrower’s Oil and Gas Properties which would require the Borrower to deliver, in the aggregate, five percent (5%) or more of the monthly production from Hydrocarbons produced from the Borrower’s Oil
and Gas Properties at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor. 
 (x) Name Changes. Borrower’s and each Subsidiary’s official names as recorded on their currently effective organizational documents which are filed with the Secretary of State of its
State of organization is the same as found on the signature page of this Agreement and Security Instruments. Borrower has not and no Subsidiary has, during the preceding five years, entered into any contract, agreement, security instrument or other
document using a name other than, or been known by or otherwise used any name other than, the name used by Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the Loan Documents and as set forth on Schedule 9(x) attached hereto.

(aa) Binding Obligations. This Agreement does, and the Notes and other Loan Documents to which the
Borrower is a party upon their creation, issuance, execution and delivery will, constitute valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with their respective terms (except that enforcement may be subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws generally affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and subject to availability of equitable remedies). 

(bb) Not A Utility. The Borrower is not an entity engaged in the State of Texas in the
(i) generation, transmission, or distribution and sale of electric power; (ii) transportation, distribution and sale through a local distribution system of natural or other gas for domestic, commercial, industrial, or other use;
(iii) ownership or operation of a pipeline (other than gas gathering systems) for the transmission or sale of natural or other gas, crude oil or petroleum products to other pipeline companies, refineries, local distribution systems,
municipalities, or industrial consumers; (iv) provision of telephone or telegraph service to others; (v) production, transmission, or distribution and sale of steam or water; (vi) operation of a railroad; or (vii) provision of
sewer service to others. 
 (cc) Sanctioned Persons. To the best of the Borrower’s
knowledge and belief, neither the Borrower or any Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the
Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Borrower will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit or otherwise make available such proceeds to any
Person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC. 
 (dd) Security Instruments. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge and belief, the Mortgages are effective to create in favor of the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a legal,
valid and enforceable Lien on all of the Borrower’s and each Guarantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property thereunder and the proceeds thereof, and when the Mortgages are filed in the offices specified on
Schedule 9(dd), the Mortgages shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Borrower and each Guarantor in such Mortgaged Property and the proceeds thereof, in each case prior
and superior in right to any other Person, other than with respect to the rights of persons pursuant to Liens expressly permitted by Section 12(b).

 10. Conditions of Lending. 

(a) Initial Advance. The obligation of the Lenders to make the initial Advance is subject to the
receipt by the Agent and the Lenders of the following documents (in sufficient original counterparts, other than the Notes, for each Lender) and satisfaction of the other conditions provided in this Section 10(a), each of which shall be

necessary to continuously determine and assure that any failure of the following does not have a Material Adverse Effect: (A) all Property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the

Revolving Lenders a Reserve Report prepared by or under the supervision of the appropriate officer of the Borrower who shall certify such Reserve Report to be true and accurate and to have been prepared in accordance with the standards of the
Society of Petroleum Engineers. For any Unscheduled Redetermination requested by the Agent pursuant to Section 6(b), the Borrower shall provide such Reserve Report with an “as of” date as required by the Agent as soon as
possible, but in any event no later than sixty (60) days following the receipt of the request by the Agent. For any Unscheduled Redetermination requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6(b), the “as of” date shall be

for Liens permitted by Section 12(b), (C) except as set forth on an Exhibit to the certificate, on a net basis there are no gas imbalances, take or pay or other prepayments with respect to its Mortgaged Properties evaluated in such

the most recent previous Reserve Report have been sold since the date of the last Borrowing Base determination except as set forth on an Exhibit to the certificate, which certificate shall list all of its Mortgaged Properties sold and in such detail

Report that were not included in the 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 63 

 
immediately preceding Reserve Report, so that the Agent shall have received together with title information previously delivered to the Agent, satisfactory title information on at least 80% of
the value of the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report and constituting Mortgaged Properties. 
 (ii) Cure of Title Defects. Upon reasonable request by the Agent, the Borrower shall cure any title defects or exceptions which are not Permitted Liens raised by such information and which in the
sole discretion of the Agent render the title to the Mortgaged Properties covered by such information not good and defensible, or substitute acceptable Mortgaged Properties with no title defects or exceptions except for Permitted Liens covering
Mortgaged Properties of an equivalent value, within ninety (90) days after a reasonable request by the Agent or the Lenders to cure such defects or exceptions. 

(iii) Failure to Cure Title Defects. If the Borrower is unable to cure any title defect required to
be cured under Section 11(h)(ii) above as reasonably requested by the Agent or the Lenders to be cured within the 90-day period or the Borrower does not comply with the requirements to provide acceptable title information covering 80% of
the value of the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the most recent Reserve Report and constituting Mortgaged Properties, such default shall not be a Default or an Event of Default, but instead the Agent and the Lenders shall have the right to
exercise the following remedy in their sole discretion from time to time, and any failure to so exercise this remedy at any time shall not be a waiver as to future exercise of the remedy by the Agent or the Lenders. To the extent that the Agent or
the Required Lenders are not satisfied with title to any Mortgaged Property after the time period in Section 11(h)(ii) has elapsed, such unacceptable Mortgaged Property shall not count towards the 80% requirement, and the Agent may send
a notice to the Borrower and the Lenders that the then outstanding Borrowing Base shall be reduced by an amount as determined by the Agent with the concurrence of the Required Lenders to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the requirement to
provide acceptable title information on 80% of the value of the Oil and Gas Properties. This new Borrowing Base shall become effective immediately after receipt of such notice. 

(i) Collateral. 

(i) Collateral. The Obligations shall be secured by a perfected first priority Lien (subject only

are attributed in the Reserve Report as of such date; (B) pursuant to Section 11(i)(ii), any Oil and Gas Properties that are acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the Closing Date to the extent that no less than 80% of
the value of the Oil and Gas Properties owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary to which proven reserves of oil or gas are attributed in the most recently delivered Reserve Report are subject to a perfected first priority Lien (subject only to
Permitted Liens) in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 64 

 
Lenders; and (C) all tangible and intangible personal property of the Borrower or any Guarantor located on or related to the Mortgaged Properties, all accounts receivable and other proceeds
arising from the sale of Hydrocarbons produced from the Mortgaged Properties and the stock or ownership interests directly or indirectly owned by the Borrower in all its Subsidiaries (existing and future) to the extent a security interest therein
can be obtained under the Uniform Commercial Code. 
 (ii) Liens in Acquired Oil and Gas
Properties. Should the Borrower or any Subsidiary acquire any additional producing Oil and Gas Properties or Oil and Gas Properties having an acquisition price of more than $10,000,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal quarter of the Borrower if
non-producing upon acquisition, the Borrower or such Subsidiary will grant to the Agent as security for the Obligations a first-priority Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) in such Oil and Gas Properties, which Lien will be created and perfected
by and in accordance with the provisions of mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements and financing statements, or other Security Instruments to the extent necessary to be in compliance with this Section 11(i), all in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent in its sole discretion and in sufficient executed (and acknowledged where necessary or appropriate) counterparts for recording purposes. 

(iii) Title Information. Upon reasonable request by the Agent in connection with the granting of
the Lien on Oil and Gas Properties referred to in Section 11(i)(i) or (ii) above, the Borrower will provide to the Agent title information in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent with respect to the
Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s interests in such Oil and Gas Properties, provided that the Borrower will not be required to provide title information for more than 80% of the value of the Mortgaged Properties of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries to which proven reserves of oil or gas are attributed. 
 (iv) Legal
Opinions. Promptly after the filing of any new Security Instrument in any state, upon the reasonable request of the Agent, the Borrower will provide to the Agent an opinion addressed to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent in its sole discretion, from counsel acceptable to the Agent, stating that the Security Instrument is valid, binding, and enforceable in accordance with its terms in legally sufficient form for such jurisdiction.

 (j) Production Proceeds. 

(i) In order to secure further the performance by Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the repayment
of the Obligations and to effect and facilitate the Lenders’ right of offset, the Borrower shall, upon reasonable request of the Required Lenders after an Event of Default, execute such forms, authorizations, documents and instruments, and do
such other things from time to time, as the Required Lenders shall reasonably request, in order to require that pipeline companies, operators of the Mortgaged Properties and others

(collectively, the “Purchasers”) purchasing (or acting as agents for, or making payments on behalf of, those purchasing) the oil, gas and other Hydrocarbons produced or to be
produced from, or relating to, the Mortgaged Properties, deliver to a lock box to which the Agent has sole access all checks, cash, proceeds and monies (collectively, the “Proceeds”) now or hereafter payable by the Purchasers (or
any of them) on account of oil, gas or other minerals produced from or relating to the Mortgaged Properties. 
 (ii) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders may require that all Proceeds be delivered to such a lock box. The Agent shall then deposit all Proceeds in a cash collateral account
at the Agent styled “Matador Production Account”. Thereafter the Borrower shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Matador Production Account all such payments and monies which the Borrower receives directly from any Purchaser relating
to the Mortgaged Properties. The Borrower’s obligation to pay the amounts due under the Loans (both principal and interest) shall be absolute, and such amounts shall be due and payable notwithstanding the fact that the funds received by the
Agent are insufficient to pay such amounts. 
 (iii) If, after an Event of Default, the Required
Lenders cause the Proceeds to be paid to the Matador Production Account, then, not less often than monthly, the Borrower shall submit to the Agent an itemized statement of operating costs and expenses, royalty payments and severance or production
taxes required to be paid by the Borrower out of the Proceeds. The application by the Agent of such Proceeds shall, unless the Required Lenders shall agree otherwise in writing, be first to the payment of royalty payments due on the Mortgaged
Properties (to the extent the Agent has received funds for royalty owners) and production and severance taxes on such Proceeds to the extent the same have not been withheld by the purchasers of production, second transfer to the
Borrower’s operating account sufficient funds for the Borrower to pay the amount of operating costs and overhead expenses related to the operation of the Mortgaged Properties set forth in such itemized statement, provided that such costs and
expenses shall, in the Agent’s sole discretion exercised in good faith, be reasonable and relate to the Mortgaged Properties, third to the payment of reasonable costs and expenses due the Lenders or the Agent under this Agreement,
fourth to the payment of accrued interest due on the Notes and last to the payment of the principal then due on the Notes. Agent shall account for all monies received and applied hereunder. After an Event of Default all Proceeds held
by the Agent after any transfer described in the second preceding sentence shall remain deposited in the Matador Production Account and shall secure repayment of the Notes or any other Obligations. The Borrower shall not have any right to withdraw
funds from the Matador Production Account. 
 (iv) The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs the Agent to charge, at its discretion, from time to time the Matador Production Account and any other accounts of the Borrower at the Agent for amounts due to the Agent or Lenders hereunder. The Agent is hereby further authorized, in its
own name or

AGREEMENT – Page 66 

 
the name of the Borrower at any time, to notify any or all parties obligated with respect to the Mortgaged Properties to make all payments due or to become due thereon directly to the Agent. With
or without such general notification, the Agent may take or bring in the Borrower’s name or that of the Agent or Lenders all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by the Agent necessary or desirable to effect possession or collection of
payments. 
 (v) Regardless of any provision hereof, however, the Agent and Lenders shall never
be liable for its or their failure to collect or for its or their failure to exercise diligence in the collection, possession, or any transaction concerning, all or part of the Mortgaged Properties or sums due or paid thereon nor shall Agent or
Lenders be under any obligation whatsoever to anyone by virtue of its security interests and Liens relating to the Mortgaged Properties. 
 (vi) Issuance by the Agent of a receipt to any Person obligated to pay any amounts to the Borrower shall be a full and complete release, discharge and acquittance to such person to the extent of any
amount so paid to the Agent. The Agent is hereby authorized and empowered on behalf of the Borrower to endorse the name of the Borrower upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction or other document or items, including, but not limited
to, all items evidencing payment upon any indebtedness of any person to the Borrower coming into the Agent’s possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof. The Agent is hereby granted an
irrevocable power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest, to execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions or other documents, agreements or items on behalf of the Borrower, after an Event of Default, as shall be deemed by

attorneys or experts selected by it in good faith or any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such agents, accountants, attorneys or experts. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as
the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof permitted hereunder shall have been filed with the Agent. The Agent is authorized to release any Collateral or Mortgaged Property that
is permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. 
 (b)
Reliance by the Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone or telecopier) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or
on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. 

(c) Defaults. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default (other
than the non-payment of principal of or interest on Loans or of fees or failure to reimburse for Letter of Credit drawings) unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a
“Notice of Default.” In the event that the Agent receives such a notice of 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 79 

 
the occurrence of a Default, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. In the event of a payment Default, the Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of each such payment
Default. 
 (d) Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Revolving Credit Commitments and
the Loans made by it and its participation in the issuance of Letters of Credit, Comerica Bank (and any successor acting as the Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. Comerica Bank (and any successor acting
as the Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower (and any of its Affiliates) as if it
were not acting as the Agent, and Comerica Bank and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

 (e) Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent, Arranger and the
Issuing Lender ratably in accordance with their Weighted Percentage for the Indemnity Matters as described in Section 15(c) to the extent not indemnified or reimbursed by the Borrower under Section 15(c), but without limiting
the obligations of the Borrower under said Section 15(c) and for any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, or reasonable costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent, the Arranger or the Issuing Lender in any way relating to or arising out of: (i) this Agreement, the Security Instruments, or any other Loan Document or any other
documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby, but excluding, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties
hereunder or (ii) the enforcement of any of the terms of this Agreement, any Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document or of any such other documents; whether or not any of the foregoing specified in this Section 14(e) arises
from the sole or concurrent negligence of the Agent or the Issuing Lender, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, the Arranger,
or Issuing Bank. 
 (f) Non-Reliance on the Agent and other Lenders. Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower and its decision to
enter into this Agreement, and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the 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 analysis and decisions
in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower of this Agreement, the 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 80 

 
Notes, the Security Instruments, or any other Loan Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the properties or books of the Borrower. Except for notices,
reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the
affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its Affiliates. In this regard, each Lender acknowledges that Winstead PC is acting in this
transaction as special counsel to the Agent only, except to the extent otherwise expressly stated in any legal opinion or any Loan Document. Each Lender will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with
the Loan Documents and the matters contemplated therein. 
 (g) Action by the Agent.
Except for action or other matters expressly required of the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall (i) receive written instructions from the Required Lenders (or
the Required Revolving Lenders or all of the Lenders as expressly required by Section 15(d)) specifying the action to be taken, and (ii) be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expenses
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The instructions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders as expressly required by Section 15(d)) and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto by the Agent shall be binding on all of the Lenders. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders (or the Required Revolving
Lenders or all of the Lenders as required by Section 15(d)) in the written instructions (with indemnities) described in this Section 14(g), provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions,
the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. In no event, however, shall the Agent be required to
take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the Security Instruments, or any other Loan Document or applicable law. 

(h) Resignation or Removal of the Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Agent as provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the
Required Lenders (after consultation with the Borrower if no Event of Default then exists) shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent.
Upon the acceptance of such appointment hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Agent, the 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 81 

 
provisions of this Section 14 and Section 15(c) shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting
as the Agent. 
 15. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Waiver. No failure on the part of the Agent or any Lender to exercise and no delay in
exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan
Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 

(b) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein and in the other Loan
Documents (including, without limitation, any modifications of, or waivers or consents under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) shall be given or made by telecopy, courier or U.S. Mail or in writing and telecopied, mailed or delivered to
the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or in the Loan Documents, except that for notices and other communications to the Agent other than payment of money, the Borrower
need only send such notices and communications to the Agent at the Agent’s Office; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement
or in the other Loan Documents, all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted, if transmitted before 5:00 p.m. local time on a Business Day (otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day) by telecopier and
evidence or confirmation of receipt is obtained, or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, three Business Days after the date deposited in the mails, postage prepaid, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid. 

If any Lender is a foreign bank, please forward a copy of the IRS form W-8BEN to the Agent. 

(c) Payment of Expenses, Indemnities, Etc. 

(i) The Borrower agrees: 

(A) whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated are consummated, to pay all reasonable expenses
of the Agent in the administration (both before and after the execution hereof and including advice of counsel as to the rights and duties of the Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto) of, and in connection with the negotiation, syndication,
investigation, preparation, execution and delivery of, recording or filing of, preservation of rights under, enforcement of, and refinancing, renegotiation or restructuring of, the Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver or consent relating thereto
(including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other

amounts reasonably expended, advanced or incurred by the Agent or the Lenders to satisfy any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including without limitation, all reasonable costs and expenses of foreclosure.

 (B) to indemnify the Agent and each Lender and each of their Affiliates and each of their
officers, directors, employees, representatives, Agents, attorneys, accountants and experts (“Indemnified Parties”) from, hold each of them harmless against and promptly upon demand pay or reimburse each of them for, the Indemnity
Matters which may be incurred by or asserted against or involve any of them (whether or not any of them is designated a party thereto) as a result of, arising out of or in any way related to (1) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the
proceeds of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit, (2) the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents, (3) the operations of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (4) the failure of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary to comply with the terms of any Loan Document or this Agreement, or with any Governmental Requirement, (5) any inaccuracy of any representation or any breach of any warranty of the Borrower or any Guarantor set forth in any of the
Loan Documents, (6) the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit, (7) the payment of a drawing under any Letter of Credit notwithstanding the non-compliance, non-delivery or
other improper presentation of the manually executed draft(s) and certification(s), (8) any assertion that the Lenders were not entitled to receive the proceeds received pursuant to the Security Instruments or (9) any other aspect of the
Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, suit, proceeding
(including any investigations, litigation or inquiries) or claim AND INCLUDING ALL INDEMNITY MATTERS ARISING BY REASON OF THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, but excluding all Indemnity Matters arising solely by reason of claims
between the Lenders or any Lender and the Agent or a Lender’s shareholders against the Agent or Lender or by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party; and 

(C) to indemnify and hold harmless from time to time the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all
losses, claims, cost recovery actions, administrative orders or proceedings, damages and liabilities to which any such Person may become subject (1) under any Environmental Law applicable to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their
Properties, including without limitation, the treatment or disposal 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 83 

 
of hazardous substances on any of their Properties, (2) as a result of the breach or non-compliance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary with any Environmental Law applicable to the Borrower or
any Subsidiary, (3) due to past ownership by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of their Properties or past activity on any of their Properties which, though lawful and fully permissible at the time, could result in present liability,
(4) the presence, use, release, storage, treatment or disposal of hazardous substances on or at any of the Properties owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (5) any other environmental, health or safety condition in
connection with the Loan Documents; provided, however, no indemnity shall be afforded under this Section 15(c)(i)(C) in respect of any Property for any occurrence arising from the acts or omissions of the Agent or any
Lender during the period after which such Person, its successors or assigns shall have obtained possession of such Property (whether by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, as mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise). 

(ii) No Indemnified Party may settle any claim to be indemnified without the consent of the indemnitor,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, that the indemnitor may not reasonably withhold consent to any settlement that an Indemnified Party proposes, if the indemnitor does not have the financial ability to pay all its
obligations outstanding and asserted against the indemnitor at that time, including the maximum potential claims against the Indemnified Party to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 15(c). 

(iii) In the case of any indemnification hereunder, the Agent or Lender, as appropriate shall give notice
to the Borrower of any such claim or demand being made against the Indemnified Party and the Borrower shall have the non-exclusive right to join in the defense against any such claim or demand provided that if the Borrower provides a defense,
the Indemnified Party shall bear its own cost of defense unless there is a conflict between the Borrower and such Indemnified Party. 
 (iv) THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES SHALL EXTEND TO THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES NOTWITHSTANDING THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OF EVERY KIND OR CHARACTER WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, WHETHER AN
AFFIRMATIVE ACT OR AN OMISSION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL TYPES OF NEGLIGENT CONDUCT IDENTIFIED IN THE RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF TORTS OF ONE OR MORE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES OR BY REASON OF STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED WITHOUT FAULT ON ANY ONE
OR MORE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES. TO THE EXTENT THAT AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS FOUND TO HAVE COMMITTED AN ACT OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, THIS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION OF INDEMNIFICATION SHALL CONTINUE BUT SHALL ONLY EXTEND TO THE
PORTION OF THE CLAIM THAT IS 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 84 

 
DEEMED TO HAVE OCCURRED BY REASON OF EVENTS OTHER THAN THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY. 

(v) The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 15(c) shall survive any termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and shall continue thereafter in full force and effect. 
 (vi) The Borrower shall pay any amounts due under this Section 15(c) within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the Borrower of notice of the amount due. 

(vii) The Borrower further agrees that the Agent’s and the Lenders’ liability to Borrower for
failing to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to the actual, direct damages, proximately caused by the Agent’s or such Lender’s error or omission. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be liable in any
event to the Borrower for any special, incidental or consequential damages which the Borrower may incur or suffer in connection with this Agreement, regardless of whether the Agent or such Lender knew of the likelihood of such loss or damage, and
regardless of the basis, theory, or nature of the action on which the Borrower asserts a claim. 

(d) Amendments, Etc. Any provision of this Agreement or any Security Instrument may be amended,
modified or waived with the Borrower’s and the Required Lenders’ prior written consent; provided that (1) no amendment, modification or waiver which extends the final maturity of the Revolving Loans, allows the Borrowing Base
to be increased without the consent of all Revolving Lenders, forgives the principal amount of any Obligations outstanding under this Agreement and owing to the Revolving Lenders, reduces the interest rate applicable to the Revolving Loans or fees
payable to the Revolving Lenders generally (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest or any other amount
payable by the Borrower hereunder, under any Loan Document or under any Note at the Default Rate) or affects Section 7(c) shall be effective without consent of all Revolving Lenders; (2) no amendment, modification or waiver which
extends the final maturity of the Term Loan, forgives the principal amount of any Obligations outstanding under this Agreement and owing to the Term Loan Lenders or reduces the interest rate applicable to the Term Loan or fees payable to the Term
Loan Lenders generally (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest or any other amount payable by the
Borrower hereunder, under any Loan Document or under any Note at the Default Rate) shall be effective without consent of all Term Loan Lenders; (3) no amendment, modification or waiver which releases any guarantor of any Obligations or releases
all or substantially all of the collateral, affects Section 7(b)(iii), this Section 15(d) or Section 15(f)(i) or modifies the definition of “Required Lenders” shall be effective without consent of all
Lenders; (4) no amendment, modification or waiver which modifies the definition of “Required Revolving Lenders” shall be effective without the consent of all Revolving Lenders; (5) no amendment, modification or waiver which
increases the 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 85 

 
Maximum Line Amount of any Revolving Lender shall be effective without the consent of such Revolving Lender; (6) no amendment, modification or waiver which modifies the rights, duties or
obligations of the Agent shall be effective without the consent of the Agent; and (7) no amendment, modification or waiver which modifies the rights, duties or obligations of the Issuing Lender shall be effective without the consent of the
Issuing Lender. 
 (e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 
 (f) Assignments and Participations. 
 (i)
The Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes or any Letters of Credit without the prior consent of all of the Lenders and the Agent. 

(ii) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may assign to one or more assignees (an
“Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto (an “Assignment”); provided,
however, that (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, such assignment shall require the written consent of the Agent and, provided no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower, whose consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, (B) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, any such assignment shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000.00 or such lesser amount to which the Borrower and the Agent have
consented and if the assigning Lender has assigned less than all of its Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Loans or less than all of its Term Loan Percentage of the Term Loan, such assigning Lender shall retain a Commitment Percentage of the
Revolving Loans or Term Loan Percentage of the Term Loan, as applicable, equating to at least $5,000,000.00 or such lesser amount to which the Borrower and the Agent have consented and (C) the assignee or assignor shall pay to the Agent a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00 for each assignment. Any such assignment will become effective upon the execution and delivery to the Agent of the Assignment, payment of the recordation fee and, if required, the consent of the Agent and
the Borrower. Promptly after receipt of an executed Assignment, the Agent shall send to the Borrower a copy of such executed Assignment. Upon receipt of such executed Assignment, the Borrower will, at its own expense, execute and deliver new Notes
to the Assignor and/or Assignee, as appropriate, in accordance with their respective interests as they appear. Upon the effectiveness of any assignment pursuant to this Section 15(f)(ii), the Assignee will become a “Lender,” if
not already a “Lender,” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Assignor shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment (and if the assigning Lender no longer holds any rights
or obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” hereunder except that its rights under Sections 4(e), 5, and 15(c) shall not be affected). The Agent will prepare on the last
Business Day of each month 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 86 

 
during which an assignment has become effective pursuant to this Section 15(f)(ii), a new Annex I giving effect to all such assignments effected during such month, and
will promptly provide the same to the Borrower and each of the Lenders. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 15(f)(ii) shall be treated for purposes
of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 15(f)(iii). 
 (iii) Each Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Agent or the Issuing Lender, transfer, grant or assign participations in all or any part of such Lender’s interests hereunder pursuant
to this Section 15(f)(iii) to any Person (a “Participant”), provided that: (A) such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the transferee of such participation shall
not constitute a “Lender” hereunder, (B) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (C) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (D) the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Lender 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 the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents;
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 that would (x) forgive any principal owing on any Obligations or
extend the final maturity of the Loans, (y) reduce the interest rate (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increases in interest rates) or fees applicable to any of the Revolving Credit Commitments, or Loans
or Letters of Credit in which such Participant is participating, or postpone the payment of any thereof, or (z) release any guarantor of the Obligations or release all or substantially all of the collateral (except as provided in the Loan
Documents) supporting any of the Revolving Credit Commitments, or Loans or Letters of Credit in which such Participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of
the Loan Documents (the Participant’s rights against the granting Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement with such Lender creating such participation), and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder
shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, provided that such Participant shall be entitled to receive additional amounts under Section 5 on the same basis as if it were a Lender and be indemnified
under Section 15(c) as if it were a Lender. In addition, each agreement creating any participation must include an agreement by the Participant to be bound by the provisions of Section 15(o). 

(iv) The Lenders may furnish any information concerning the Borrower in the possession of the Lenders from
time to time to Assignees and Participants 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 87 

 
(including prospective Assignees and Participants); provided that, such Persons agree to be bound by the provisions of Section 15(o). 

(v) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15(f) to the contrary, any Lender may assign and
pledge its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment and/or pledge shall release the assigning and/or pledging Lender from its obligations hereunder. 

(vi) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 15(f), no transfer or assignment of
the interests or obligations of any Lender or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the
“Blue Sky” laws of any state. 
 (g) Invalidity. In the event that any one or
more of the provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Letters of Credit, or the Letter of Credit Agreements shall, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision of the Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same instrument (including electronic copies) and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. 

(i) Survival. The obligations of the parties under Sections 4(e)(iii), 14(e),
15(c), and 15(o) shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. To the extent that any payments on the Obligations or proceeds of any collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared
to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Obligations so satisfied shall be
revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Agent’s and the Lenders’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Security Instrument shall continue in full
force and effect. In such event, each Security Instrument shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrower shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Agent and the Lenders to effect such reinstatement. 

(j) NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES
AND SUPERSEDE ALL OTHER AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES RELATING
TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT
THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED
BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE
PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

 (k) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

 (i) This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of Texas, except to the extent that United States federal law permits any Lender to charge interest at the rate allowed by the laws of the state where such Lender is located. 

(ii) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to the Loan Documents shall be brought in the courts of
the State of Texas sitting in Dallas County or of the United States of America for the Northern District of Texas, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the parties to this Agreement hereby accepts for itself and (to the extent
permitted by law) in respect of its Property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or
based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions. This submission to jurisdiction is non-exclusive and does not preclude any
party hereto from obtaining jurisdiction over any party herein, any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries, or any Guarantor in any court otherwise having jurisdiction. 

(iii) Each party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts
in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party at its said address, such service to become effective thirty (30) days after such mailing. Nothing herein shall
affect the right of any party or any holder of a Note to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any party or the Borrower’s Properties in any other jurisdiction.

 (l) Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Lender shall conform
strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of Texas or any other
jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement entered into in
connection with or as security for the Notes, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such
Lender under any of the Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Notes shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore
paid shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower); and
(ii) in the event that the maturity of the Notes is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of 

  
 CREDIT
AGREEMENT – Page 89 

 
Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender may never
include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if
theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower).
All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of
the Loans evidenced by the Notes until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. 

(m) Confidentiality. In the event that the Borrower or any Guarantor provides to the Agent or the
Lenders written confidential information, if the Borrower shall denominate such information in writing as “confidential”, the Agent and the Lenders shall thereafter maintain such information in confidence in accordance with the standards
of care and diligence that each utilizes in maintaining its own confidential information. This obligation of confidence shall not apply to such portions of the information which (i) are in the public domain, (ii) hereafter become part of
the public domain without the Agent or the Lenders breaching their obligation of confidence to the Borrower or Guarantor, (iii) are previously known by the Agent or the Lenders from some source other than the Borrower, (iv) are hereafter
developed by the Agent or the Lenders without using the Borrower’s or Guarantor’s information, (v) are hereafter obtained by or available to the Agent or the Lenders from a third party who owes no obligation of confidence to the
Borrower or Guarantor with respect to such information or through any other means other than through disclosure by the Borrower or Guarantor, (vi) are disclosed with the Borrower’s or Guarantor’s consent, (vii) must be disclosed

 EXHIBIT F 

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 
 As of             ,             , for value received, the undersigned
(“Debtor”) pledges, assigns and grants to Comerica Bank, whose address is 1717 Main Street, 4th Floor, Dallas, Texas 75201, in its capacity as Agent (“Agent”), for the benefit of Agent and for the ratable benefit of
the Lenders, a continuing security interest and lien (any pledge, assignment, security interest or other lien arising hereunder is sometimes referred to herein as a “security interest”) in the Collateral (as defined below) to secure
payment when due, whether by stated maturity, demand, acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated May 19, 2011, among Matador
Resources Company (the “Borrower”), Agent and the Lenders signatories thereto (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
herein will have the meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement. Obligations include without limit any and all obligations or liabilities of the Borrower and/or Debtor to the Agent or the Lenders, whether absolute or contingent, direct or
indirect, voluntary or involuntary, liquidated or unliquidated, joint or several, known or unknown, arising under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; any and all amendments, modifications, renewals and/or extensions of any of the above;
all reasonable costs incurred by Agent or any Lender in establishing, determining, continuing, or defending the validity or priority of any security interest, or in pursuing its rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other agreement
between Agent or the Lenders and the Borrower and/or Debtor or in connection with any proceeding involving Agent or the Lenders as a result of any financial accommodation to the Borrower and/or Debtor; and all other reasonable costs of collecting
Obligations, including without limit reasonable attorneys’ fees. Debtor agrees to pay Agent or the Lenders all such costs incurred by the Agent or any Lender, immediately upon demand, and until paid all costs shall bear interest at the Default
Rate (to the fullest extent such rate does not exceed the Maximum Rate) applicable to the Obligations. Any reference in this Agreement to attorneys’ fees shall be deemed a reference to reasonable fees, costs, and expenses, whether or not a suit
or action is instituted, and to court costs if a suit or action is instituted, and whether attorneys’ fees or court costs are incurred at the trial court level, on appeal, in a bankruptcy, administrative or probate proceeding or otherwise.
Debtor further covenants, agrees, represents and warrants as follows: 
  

	1.	 Collateral shall mean all of the following property Debtor now or later owns or has an interest in, wherever located: 

 

	 	(a)	 (i) all of Debtor’s interests (the “Pledged Equity Interests”) in any limited liability company, general partnership, limited
partnership, limited liability partnership, other partnership, or corporation and listed on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Subsidiaries”), and all proceeds, interest, profits, and other payments or rights to payment attributable to
the Pledged Equity Interests; 

 (ii) all distributions, cash, instruments, certificates and
other property now or hereafter received, receivable or otherwise made with respect to or in exchange for the Pledged Equity Interests, including interim distributions, returns of capital, 

  
 1 

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

 
loan repayments, and payments made in liquidation of the Pledged Equity Interests, and whether or not the same arise or are payable under any agreement or certificate forming any of the
Subsidiaries or any other agreement governing the Subsidiaries or the relations among the partners of the Subsidiaries, if applicable (any and all such proceeds, interest, profits, payments, rights to payment, distributions, cash, instruments,
certificates, other property, interim distributions, returns of capital, loan repayments, and payments made in liquidation being herein called the “Subsidiary Rights to Payments”, and any and all such agreements, certificates, and
other agreements being herein called the “Subsidiary Agreements”); 
 (iii) all other interests
and rights of Debtor in the Pledged Equity Interests, whether under the Subsidiary Agreements or otherwise, including without limitation any right to cause the dissolution of any of the Subsidiaries or to appoint or nominate a successor to Debtor in
the Subsidiaries, if applicable (all such other interests and rights being herein called the “Other Subsidiary Rights”); 
  

	 	(b)	 all books, records, ledger cards, files, correspondence, software, computer printouts, and similar items that at any time evidence or contain
information relating to the Pledged Equity Interests or are otherwise necessary or helpful in the collection thereof or realization thereon; and 

  

	 	(c)	 all additions, attachments, accessions, parts, replacements, substitutions, renewals, interest, dividends, distributions, warrants, options, rights,
cash, rights of any kind (including but not limited to stock splits, stock rights, voting and preferential rights), products, and proceeds of or pertaining to the above including, without limit, cash or other property which were proceeds and are
recovered by a bankruptcy trustee or otherwise as a preferential transfer by Debtor. 

 In the definition of
Collateral, a reference to a type of collateral shall not be limited by a separate reference to a more specific or narrower type of that Collateral. 
  

	2.	 Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. Debtor warrants, covenants and agrees as follows: 

 

	 	2.1	 Prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Debtor shall deliver to Agent all certificate(s) identified in
Exhibit A hereof and evidencing any of the Pledged Equity Interests and shall be accompanied by undated stock powers duly executed in blank. 

  

	 	2.2	 Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, if Debtor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock certificate
(including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase, or reduction of capital or issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights, whether as
an addition to, in substitution of, or in exchange for any Collateral or otherwise, then Debtor agrees to accept the same as Agent’s agent and to hold the same in trust for Agent,

  
 2 

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

	 	 
and to deliver the same forthwith to Agent in the exact form received, with the appropriate endorsement of Agent when necessary and/or appropriate undated stock powers duly executed in blank, to
be held by Agent as additional Collateral for the Obligations, subject to the terms hereof. When an Event of Default exists, any sums paid upon or in respect of the Collateral upon the liquidation or dissolution of the issuer thereof shall be paid
over to Agent to be held by it as additional Collateral for the Obligations subject to the terms hereof; and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Collateral or any property shall be distributed upon or with
respect to the Collateral pursuant to any recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the issuer thereof or pursuant to any reorganization of the issuer thereof, the property so distributed shall be delivered to the Agent to be held by
it, as additional Collateral for the Obligations, subject to the terms hereof. All sums of money and property so paid or distributed in respect of the Collateral that are received by Agent shall, until paid or delivered to Agent, be held by Debtor
in trust as additional security for the Obligations. 

  

	 	2.3	 Debtor shall not consent to or approve the issuance of any additional shares of any class of capital stock of the issuer of the Pledged Equity
Interests, or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, any such shares or any warrants, options, rights, or other commitments entitling any person or entity to purchase or otherwise acquire any such shares. 

 

	 	2.4	 Debtor shall furnish to Agent, in form and at intervals as Agent may reasonably request, any information Agent may reasonably request and allow
Agent to examine, inspect, and copy any of Debtor’s books and records. Debtor shall, at the reasonable request of Agent, mark its records and the Collateral to clearly indicate the security interest of Agent under this Agreement.

  

	 	2.5	 At the time any Collateral becomes, or is represented to be, subject to a security interest in favor of Agent or any Lender, Debtor shall be deemed
to have warranted that (a) Debtor is the lawful owner of the Collateral and has the right and authority to subject it to a security interest granted to Agent or any Lender; (b) none of the Collateral is subject to any security interest
other than that in favor of Agent or any Lender; (c) there are no financing statements on file, other than in favor of Agent; (d) no person, other than Agent, has possession or control (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) of any
Collateral of such nature that perfection of a security interest may be accomplished by control; (e) Debtor acquired its rights in the Collateral in the ordinary course of its business; and (f) except for compliance with applicable federal
and state securities laws and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Collateral is not subject to any restriction on transfer or assignment, Debtor has the unrestricted right to pledge the Collateral as contemplated hereby, and all of the
Collateral has been duly and validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable. 

  

	 	2.6	 Debtor will keep the Collateral free at all times from all claims, liens, security interests and encumbrances other than those in favor of Agent and
the Lenders. 

  
 3 

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

	 	 
Debtor will not, without the prior written consent of Agent, sell, transfer or lease, or permit to be sold, transferred or leased, any or all of the Collateral. 

 

	 	2.7	 Debtor will do all acts and will execute or cause to be executed all writings reasonably requested by Agent to establish, maintain and continue an
exclusive, perfected and first security interest of Agent and the Lenders in the Collateral. Debtor agrees that Agent and the Lenders have no obligation to acquire or perfect any lien on or security interest in any asset(s), whether realty or
personalty, to secure payment of the Obligations. 

  

	 	2.8	 Debtor will pay within the time that they can be paid without interest or penalty all taxes, assessments and similar charges which at any time are
or may become a lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any Collateral, except to the extent contested in good faith and bonded in a manner satisfactory to Agent. If Debtor fails to pay any of these taxes, assessments, or other charges in the time
provided above, Agent has the option (but not the obligation) to do so, and Debtor agrees to repay all amounts so expended by Agent immediately upon demand, together with interest at the Default Rate (to the fullest extent such rate does not exceed
the Maximum Rate). 

  

	 	2.9	 If Agent, acting in its sole discretion, redelivers Collateral to Debtor or Debtor’s designee for the purpose of (a) the ultimate sale or
exchange thereof; or (b) presentation, collection, renewal, or registration of transfer thereof; such redelivery shall be in trust for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and shall not constitute a release of Agent’s or the Lenders’
security interest in it or in the proceeds or products of it unless Agent specifically so agrees in writing. If Debtor requests any such redelivery, Debtor will deliver with such request a duly executed financing statement in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent. Any proceeds of Collateral coming into Debtor’s possession as a result of any such redelivery shall be held in trust for Agent and immediately delivered to Agent for application on the Obligations. Agent may (in its sole
discretion) deliver any or all of the Collateral to Debtor, and such delivery by Agent shall discharge Agent from all liability or responsibility for such Collateral except for any liability which arises from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Agent. Agent, at its option, may require delivery of any Collateral to Agent at any time with such endorsements or assignments of the Collateral as Agent may reasonably request. 

 

	 	2.10	 At any time during the existence of an Event of Default and without notice, Agent may (a) cause any or all of the Collateral to be transferred
to its name or to the name of its nominees; (b) receive or collect by legal proceedings or otherwise all dividends, interest, principal payments and other sums and all other distributions at any time payable or receivable on account of the
Collateral, and hold the same as Collateral, or apply the same to the Obligations, the manner and distribution of the application to be in the sole discretion of Agent; (c) enter into any extension, subordination, reorganization, deposit,
merger or consolidation agreement or any other agreement relating to or affecting the Collateral, and deposit or surrender 

  
 4 

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

	 	 
control of the Collateral, and accept other property in exchange for the Collateral and hold or apply the property or money so received pursuant to this Agreement; and (d) take such actions
in its own name or in Debtor’s name as Debtor’s agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to establish exclusive control (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) over any Collateral of such nature that perfection of
the Agent’s or any Lender’s security interest may be accomplished by control. 

  

	 	2.11	 Agent may assign any of the Obligations and deliver any or all of the Collateral to its assignee, who then shall have with respect to Collateral so
delivered all the rights and powers of Agent under this Agreement, and after that Agent shall be fully discharged from all liability and responsibility with respect to Collateral so delivered except to the extent any such liability results from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent. 

  

	 	2.12	 The undersigned agrees that no security or guarantee now or later held by Agent or any Lender for the payment of any indebtedness, whether from the
Borrower, any guarantor, or otherwise, and whether in the nature of a security interest, pledge, lien, assignment, setoff, suretyship, guaranty, indemnity, insurance or otherwise, shall affect in any manner the unconditional pledge of the
undersigned under this Agreement, and Agent, in its sole discretion, without notice to the undersigned, may release, exchange, modify, enforce and otherwise deal with any security or guaranty without affecting in any manner the unconditional pledge
of the undersigned under this Agreement. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that Agent and the Lenders have no obligation to acquire or perfect any lien on or security interest in any assets, whether realty or personalty, or to obtain any
guaranty to secure payment of the Obligations, and the undersigned is not relying upon any guaranty which Agent has or may have or assets in which Agent or any Lender has or may have a lien or security interest for payment of the Obligations.

  

	 	2.13	 The undersigned may terminate their pledge under this Agreement as to future indebtedness (except as provided below) by (and only by) delivering
written notice of termination to an officer of Agent and receiving from an officer of Agent written acknowledgment of delivery; provided, the termination shall not be effective until the opening of business on the fifth (5th) day following written acknowledgment of delivery. Any
termination shall not affect in any way Agent’s rights under this Agreement as to any Obligations existing at the effective date of termination or any Obligations created after that pursuant to any commitment or agreement of Agent or pursuant
to any Borrower loan with Agent existing at the effective date of termination (whether advances or readvances by Agent are optional or obligatory), or any modifications, extensions or renewals of any of the Obligations, whether in whole or in part,
and as to all of the Obligations and modifications, extensions or renewals of it, this Agreement shall continue effective until the same shall have been fully satisfied. 

  
 5 

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

	 	2.14	 The undersigned agrees to reimburse Agent upon demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limit, reasonable attorneys’
fees) incurred in enforcing any of the duties or obligations of the undersigned under this Agreement or in establishing, determining, continuing or defending the validity or priority of Agent’s security interest under this Agreement.

  

	3.	 Collection of Proceeds. 

  

	 	3.1	 Debtor agrees to collect and enforce payment of all Collateral until Agent shall direct Debtor to the contrary. Immediately upon notice to Debtor by
Agent and at all times after that, Debtor agrees to fully and promptly cooperate and assist Agent in the collection and enforcement of all Collateral and to hold in trust for Agent and the Lenders all payments received in connection with Collateral
and from the sale, lease or other disposition of any Collateral, all rights by way of suretyship or guaranty and all rights in the nature of a lien or security interest which Debtor now or later has regarding Collateral. Immediately upon and after
such notice, Debtor agrees, subject to the right of Debtor to receive cash dividends under Section 4.8 hereof, to (a) endorse to Agent and immediately deliver to Agent all payments received on Collateral or from the sale, lease or
other disposition of any Collateral or arising from any other rights or interests of Debtor in the Collateral, in the form received by Debtor without commingling with any other funds, and (b) immediately deliver to Agent all property in
Debtor’s possession or later coming into Debtor’s possession through enforcement of Debtor’s rights or interests in the Collateral. During the existence of an Event of Default, Debtor irrevocably authorizes Agent or any Agent employee
or agent to endorse the name of Debtor upon any checks or other items which are received in payment for any Collateral, and to do any and all things necessary in order to reduce these items to money. Agent shall at all times have the right to
exchange any certificates representing Collateral for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement. Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of Collateral or the
proceeds of it, or as to the preservation of any related rights, beyond the use of reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in the possession of Agent or any Lender. Debtor agrees to take all steps necessary to preserve rights
against prior parties with respect to the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 3.1 shall be deemed a consent by Agent to any sale, lease or other disposition of any Collateral. 

 

	4.	 Defaults, Enforcement and Application of Proceeds. 

 

	 	4.1	 Upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”), Debtor shall be in default under this Agreement:

  

	 	(a)	 Any Event of Default under and as defined in the Credit Agreement; or 

  
 6 

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

	 	(b)	 Any failure or neglect to comply with, or breach of or default under, any term of this Agreement if such failure, neglect, breach or default
continues uncured after 30 days following notice thereof from Agent to Debtor. 

  

	 	4.2	 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent may at its discretion and without prior notice to Debtor declare any or all of the Obligations to
be immediately due and payable, and shall have and may exercise any right or remedy available to it including, without limitation, any rights and remedies described in the Credit Agreement and any one or more of the following rights and remedies:

  

	 	(a)	 Exercise all the rights and remedies upon default, in foreclosure and otherwise, available to secured parties under the provisions of the Uniform
Commercial Code and other applicable law; 

  

	 	(b)	 Institute legal proceedings to foreclose upon the lien and security interest granted by this Agreement, to recover judgment for all amounts then due
and owing as Obligations, and to collect the same out of any Collateral or the proceeds of any sale of it; 

  

	 	(c)	 Institute legal proceedings for the sale, under the judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, of any or all Collateral; and/or

  

	 	(d)	 Personally or by agents, attorneys, or appointment of a receiver, enter upon any premises where Collateral may then be located, and take possession
of all or any of it and/or render it unusable; and without being responsible for loss or damage to such Collateral, hold, operate, sell, lease, or dispose of all or any Collateral at one or more public or private sales, leasings or other
dispositions, at places and times and on terms and conditions as Agent may deem fit, without any previous demand or advertisement; and except as provided in this Agreement, and any obligation of a prospective purchaser or lessee to inquire as to the
power and authority of Agent to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or as to the application by Agent of the proceeds of sale or otherwise, which would otherwise be required by, or available to Debtor under, applicable law are
expressly waived by Debtor to the fullest extent permitted. 

 At any sale pursuant to this
Section 4.2, whether under the power of sale, by virtue of judicial proceedings or otherwise, it shall not be necessary for Agent or a public officer under order of a court to have present physical or constructive possession of
Collateral to be sold. The recitals contained in any conveyances and receipts made and given by Agent or the public officer to any purchaser at any sale made pursuant to this Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be presumed
(absent manifest error) to establish the truth and accuracy of the matters stated (including, without limit, as to the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Obligations, the accrual and nonpayment of it and advertisement and conduct of the
sale); and all prerequisites to the sale shall be presumed to have been satisfied and performed. Upon any sale of any Collateral, 

  
 7 

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

	 	 
the receipt of the officer making the sale under judicial proceedings or of Agent shall be sufficient discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and the purchaser shall not be obligated
to see to the application of the money. Any sale of any Collateral under this Agreement shall be a perpetual bar against Debtor with respect to that Collateral. At any sale or other disposition of the Collateral pursuant to this
Section 4.2, Agent disclaims all warranties which would otherwise be given under the Uniform Commercial Code, including without limit a disclaimer of any warranty relating to title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and Agent may
communicate these disclaimers to a purchaser at such disposition. This disclaimer of warranties will not render the sale commercially unreasonable. 

  

	 	4.3	 The proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Collateral authorized by this Agreement shall be applied by Agent as described in the Credit
Agreement. Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency, which it shall pay to Agent immediately upon demand. Debtor agrees that Agent shall be under no obligation to accept any noncash proceeds in connection with any sale or disposition of
Collateral unless failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable. If Agent agrees in its sole discretion to accept noncash proceeds (unless the failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable), Agent may ascribe any commercially reasonable
value to such proceeds. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent may apply any reasonable discount factor in determining the present value of proceeds to be received in the future or may elect to apply proceeds to be received in the future only as and
when such proceeds are actually received in cash by Agent. 

  

	 	4.4	 Nothing in this Agreement is intended, nor shall it be construed, to preclude Agent from pursuing any other remedy provided by law or in equity for
the collection of the Obligations or for the recovery of any other sum to which Agent may be entitled for the breach of this Agreement by Debtor. Nothing in this Agreement shall reduce or release in any way any rights or security interests of Agent
contained in any existing agreement between the Borrower, Debtor, or any Guarantor and Agent. 

  

	 	4.5	 No waiver of default or consent to any act by Debtor shall be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Agent. No waiver of
any default or forbearance on the part of Agent in enforcing any of its rights under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion or of any rights. 

 

	 	4.6	 Debtor authorizes Agent or any agent of Agent, in its own name, at Debtor’s expense, to do any of the following during the existence of an
Event of Default, as Agent, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate: 

 (i) to demand, sue
for, collect, or receive in the name of Debtor or in its own name, any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral and, in connection therewith, endorse

  
 8 

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

 
checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, or any other instruments for the payment of money under the Collateral; 

(ii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests, or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against
the Collateral; 
 (iii) to direct account debtors and any other parties liable for any payment under any of the
Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to Agent or as Agent shall direct; (i) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any
time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (ii) to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock powers, verifications, notices, and other documents relating to the Collateral; (iii) to commence and prosecute any suit,
actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (iv) to defend any suit, action, or proceeding brought
against Debtor with respect to any Collateral; (v) to settle, compromise, or adjust any suit, action, or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Agent may deem appropriate; 

(iv) to exchange any of the Collateral for other property upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, or other readjustment of the issuer thereof and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar, or other designated agency upon such terms as Agent may determine;
(vii) to add or release any guarantor, endorser, surety, or other party to any of the Collateral or the Obligations; (viii) to renew, extend, or otherwise change the terms and conditions of any of the Collateral or Obligations; and
(ix) to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Agent’s option and
Debtor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Agent reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve, or realize upon the Collateral and Agent’s security interest therein; and 

(v) to do and perform any act on behalf of Debtor permitted or required under this Agreement. 

 

	 	4.7	 Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Debtor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting rights relating
or pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Agent shall execute and deliver to Debtor all such proxies and other instruments as Debtor may reasonably request for the purpose
of enabling Debtor to exercise the voting rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section. 

  

	 	4.8	 Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Debtor shall be entitled to receive and retain all cash dividends and
distributions paid on the 

  
 9 

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

	 	 
Collateral to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends and distributions are paid out of earned surplus. 

 

	 	4.9	 During the existence of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right, but shall not be obligated to, exercise or cause to be exercised all
voting, consensual, and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral, and Debtor shall deliver to Agent, if reasonably requested by Agent, irrevocable proxies with respect to the Collateral in form satisfactory to Agent.

  

	 	4.10	 Debtor hereby acknowledges and confirms that Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among
other things, to acquire any shares of the Collateral for their own respective accounts for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof. Debtor further acknowledges and confirms that any such private sale may result in prices or
other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, and Agent shall be under
no obligation to take any steps in order to permit the Collateral to be sold at a public sale. Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for any period of time necessary to permit any issuer thereof to register such
Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws. 

  

	 	4.11	 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Debtor also agrees, upon request of Agent, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at
any place designated by Agent which is reasonably convenient to Agent and Debtor. 

  

	5.	 Miscellaneous. 

  

	 	5.1	 Until Agent is advised in writing by Debtor to the contrary, all notices, requests and demands required under this Agreement or by law shall be
given to, or made upon, Debtor at the first address indicated in Section 5.15 below. 

  

	 	5.2	 Debtor will give Agent not less than 30 days prior written notice of all contemplated changes in Debtor’s name, location, chief executive
office, principal place of business, and/or location of any Collateral, and Debtor shall promptly take all necessary steps reasonably requested by Agent to maintain the perfection of Agent’s security interest in the Collateral.

  

	 	5.3	 Agent assumes no duty of performance or other responsibility under any contracts contained within the Collateral. 

 

	 	5.4	 Agent has the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations or any interest in, any or all of the Obligations and any related
obligations, including 

  
 10 

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

	 	 
without limit this Agreement. In connection with the above, subject to any restrictions in the Credit Agreement, Agent may disclose all documents and information which Agent now or later has
relating to Debtor, the Obligations or this Agreement, however obtained. Debtor further agrees that Agent may provide information relating to this Agreement or relating to Debtor or the Obligations to the Agent’s parent, affiliates,
subsidiaries, and service providers but subject to any restrictions in the Credit Agreement and solely for purposes relating to this Agreement. 

  

	 	5.5	 In addition to Agent’s other rights, any indebtedness owing from Agent to Debtor can be set off and applied by Agent on any Obligations at any
time(s) either before or after maturity or demand with notice to Debtor, provided that Agent’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof. Any such action shall not constitute acceptance of collateral in discharge
of any portion of the Obligations. 

  

	 	5.6	 Debtor, to the extent not expressly prohibited by applicable law, waives any right to require the Agent to: (a) proceed against any person or
property; or (b) pursue any other remedy in the Agent’s power. Debtor waives, to the extent allowed by law, notice of acceptance of this Agreement and presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, dishonor, notice of dishonor, notice of
default, notice of intent to accelerate or demand payment or notice of acceleration of any Obligations, any and all other notices to which the undersigned might otherwise be entitled, and diligence in collecting any Obligations, and agree(s) that
the Agent may, once or any number of times, modify the terms of any Obligations, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate, renew or forbear to enforce payment of any or all Obligations, or permit the Borrower to incur additional Obligations, all
without notice to Debtor and without affecting in any manner the unconditional obligation of Debtor under this Agreement. Debtor unconditionally and irrevocably waives each and every defense (other than payment) of any nature which, under principles
of guaranty or otherwise, would operate to impair or diminish in any way the obligation of Debtor under this Agreement, and acknowledges that such waiver is by this reference incorporated into each security agreement, collateral assignment, pledge
and/or other document from Debtor now or later securing the Obligations, and acknowledges that as of the date of this Agreement no such defense or setoff exists. 

 

	 	5.7	 Debtor waives any and all rights (whether by subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement, or otherwise) to recover from the Borrower any amounts paid or
the value of any Collateral given by Debtor pursuant to this Agreement until such time as all of the Obligations have been fully paid. 

  

	 	5.8	 In the event that applicable law shall obligate Agent to give prior notice to Debtor of any action to be taken under this Agreement, Debtor agrees
that a written notice given to Debtor at least ten days before the date of the act shall be reasonable notice of the act and, specifically, reasonable notification of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale,
lease, or 

  
 11 

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

	 	 
other disposition is to be made, unless a shorter notice period is reasonable under the circumstances. A notice shall be deemed to be given under this Agreement when delivered to Debtor or three
Business Days after being placed in an envelope addressed to Debtor and deposited, with postage prepaid, in a post office or official depository under the exclusive care and custody of the United States Postal Service or one Business Day after being
delivered to an overnight courier. The mailing shall be by overnight courier, certified, or first class mail. 

  

	 	5.9	 Notwithstanding any prior revocation, termination, surrender, or discharge of this Agreement in whole or in part, the effectiveness of this
Agreement shall automatically continue or be reinstated in the event that any payment received or credit given by Agent or the Lenders in respect of the Obligations is returned, disgorged, or rescinded under any applicable law, including, without
limitation, bankruptcy or insolvency laws, in which case this Agreement shall be enforceable against Debtor as if the returned, disgorged, or rescinded payment or credit had not been received or given by Agent, and whether or not Agent or any Lender
relied upon this payment or credit or changed its position as a consequence of it. In the event of continuation or reinstatement of this Agreement, Debtor agrees upon demand by Agent to execute and deliver to Agent those documents which Agent
reasonably determines are appropriate to further evidence (in the public records or otherwise) this continuation or reinstatement, although the failure of Debtor to do so shall not affect in any way the reinstatement or continuation.

  

	 	5.10	 This Agreement and all the rights and remedies of Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Agent’s and the
Lenders’ successors and assigns and to any other holder who derives from Agent title to or an interest in the Obligations or any portion of it, and shall bind Debtor and the heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns of Debtor.
Nothing in this Section 5.10 is deemed a consent by Agent to any assignment by Debtor. 

  

	 	5.11	 If there is more than one Debtor, all undertakings, warranties and covenants made by Debtor and all rights, powers and authorities given to or
conferred upon Agent are made or given jointly and severally. 

  

	 	5.12	 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all terms in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in Article 9 (or, absent definition
in Article 9, in any other Article) of the Uniform Commercial Code as those meanings may be amended, revised or replaced from time to time. “Uniform Commercial Code” means the Texas Business and Commerce Code as amended, revised or
replaced from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties intend that the terms used herein which are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code have, at all times, the broadest and most inclusive meanings possible. Accordingly, if the
Uniform Commercial Code shall in the future be amended or held by a court to define any term used herein more broadly or inclusively than the Uniform Commercial Code in effect on the date of this Agreement, then such term, as used herein, shall be
given such broadened meaning. If the Uniform Commercial Code shall in the future be amended or held by a court to define any term used herein 

  
 12 

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

	 	 
more narrowly, or less inclusively, than the Uniform Commercial Code in effect on the date of this Agreement, such amendment or holding shall be disregarded in defining terms used in this
Agreement. 

  

	 	5.13	 No single or partial exercise, or delay in the exercise, of any right or power under this Agreement, shall preclude other or further exercise of the
rights and powers under this Agreement. The unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of Debtor and Agent with respect
to the subject matter of this Agreement. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Debtor and an authorized officer of Agent. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. 

  

	 	5.14	 To the extent that any of the Obligations is payable upon demand, nothing contained in this Agreement shall modify the terms and conditions of the
Obligations nor shall anything contained in this Agreement prevent Agent from making demand, without notice and with or without reason, for immediate payment of any or all of the Obligations at any time(s), whether or not an Event of Default has
occurred. 

  

	 	5.15	 Debtor represents and warrants that Debtor’s exact name is the name set forth in this Agreement. Debtor further represents and warrants the
following and agrees that Debtor is, and at all times shall be, located in the following place: 

 5400 LBJ Freeway, Suite 1500 
 Dallas, Texas 75240 

Debtor, Matador Resources Company, is a registered organization which is organized under the laws of one of the states
comprising the United States (e.g. corporation, limited partnership, registered limited liability partnership or limited liability company), and Debtor is located (as determined pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code) in the state under the laws of
which it was organized, which is: Texas. 
  

	 	5.16	 A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code and
may be filed by Agent in any filing office. 

  

	 	5.17	 This Agreement shall be terminated only upon the payment in full of the non-contingent Obligations, the termination of any continuing commitment of
the Lenders under the Credit Agreement to make additional Loans thereunder and the termination or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, but the obligations contained in Section 2.14 of this Agreement shall survive termination.
Upon termination of this Agreement, upon reasonable request by Debtor, Agent shall 

  
 13 

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

	 	 
promptly execute, deliver and file (to the extent necessary) termination statements and other instruments to evidence release of the liens and security interests created hereunder and return to
Debtor any of the Collateral in its possession. 

  

	 	5.18	 Debtor agrees to reimburse the Agent upon demand for any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limit, court costs, legal
expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not suit is instituted and, if suit is instituted, whether at the trial court level, appellate level, in a bankruptcy, probate or administrative proceeding or otherwise) incurred in enforcing
or attempting to enforce this Agreement or in exercising or attempting to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or incurred in any other matter or proceeding relating to this Security Agreement. 

 

	6.	 THIS WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT (AS DEFINED BY SECTION 26.02 OF THE TEXAS BUSINESS AND COMMERCE CODE) REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES
AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

discretion under the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are incidental thereto; and

UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY 
 1. The undersigned, MRC Permian Company, a Texas corporation, Matador Production Company, a Texas corporation, Longwood Gathering and Disposal Systems GP, Inc., a Texas corporation, Longwood Gathering and
Disposal Systems, LP, a Texas limited partnership, and MRC Rockies Company, a Texas corporation (individually, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), whose address is 5400 LBJ Freeway, Suite 1500,
Dallas, Texas 75240, hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantee in favor of Comerica Bank, as agent (in such capacity, “Agent”) for the Lenders and Issuing Lender from time to time parties to
that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2011, among Matador Resources Company, a Texas corporation (“Borrower”), the Lenders named therein, Comerica Bank, as Agent and Comerica Bank, as Issuing
Lender (as the same may be amended, restated, renewed, extended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to
such terms in the Credit Agreement), their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance when due, after the expiration of any applicable cure period under the Credit Agreement, if any, of
all Guaranteed Obligations (as herein defined). 
 As used herein, “Guaranteed Obligations”
means all obligations, interest (including any interest which, but for the application of the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on amounts owed by the Borrower), principal, fees, expenses (including, without
limitation, the reasonable attorneys’ fees of Agent, the Lenders and Issuing Lender) and other amounts now or hereafter owing by the Borrower to the Lenders and Issuing Lender, including, without limitation, (i) all obligations and
liabilities incurred pursuant to, or arising in connection with, the Credit Agreement, (ii) all obligations, liabilities and indebtedness represented or evidenced by any promissory note executed pursuant to the Credit Agreement and any renewal,
extension, modification, increase or substitution thereof, (iii) all reimbursement obligations arising with respect to any and all letters of credit issued by Issuing Lender and (iv) any and all losses, costs, expenses, and damages
suffered or incurred by Agent, the Lenders or Issuing Lender as a consequence of the Borrower’s becoming the subject of a proceeding pursuant to, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended. This is a
joint and several, irrevocable, unconditional and continuing guaranty of payment, and not a guaranty of collection, and Agent, the Lenders or Issuing Lender may enforce each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder without first suing or enforcing its
rights or remedies against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or obligor or enforcing or collecting any present or future collateral security for the Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the
contrary, in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if, as a result of applicable law relating to
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, including Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), the obligations of any Guarantor under
this Section 1 would otherwise, after giving effect to (y) all other liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under such Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of
such Guarantor in 

  
 EXHIBIT
H – Page 1 

 
respect of intercompany Debt to the Borrower to the extent that such Debt would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder) and (z) the value as assets
of such Guarantor (as determined under the applicable provisions of such Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights held by such Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable
requirements of law, (ii) Section 10 hereof or (iii) any other contractual obligations providing for an equitable allocation among such Guarantor and other Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Borrower of obligations arising under
this Guaranty or other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations by such parties, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under this
Section 1, then the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Lender, Agent or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not
subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding. 
 2. Payment of any
sum or sums due to Agent, the Lenders or Issuing Lender hereunder will be made by each Guarantor immediately upon demand by Agent. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligation hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired in any respect by reason of
any failure by Agent to perfect, or continue perfection of, any Lien or security interest in any security or any delay by Agent in perfecting any such Lien or security interest. 

3. Each Guarantor hereby waives (a) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, (b) notice of the extension of
credit by the Lenders or Issuing Lender to the Borrower, (c) notice of the occurrence of any breach or default by the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, (d) notice of the sale or foreclosure on any collateral for the
Guaranteed Obligations, (e) notice of the transfer of any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations to any third party, (f) demand for payment, presentment, protest, notice of protest and non-payment, or other notice of default, notice of
acceleration and intention to accelerate, and (g) all other notices. 
 4. Each
Guarantor hereby consents and agrees to, and acknowledges that its obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged by, the following: (a) the renewal, extension, modification, increase, amendment or alteration of the Credit Agreement,
the Guaranteed Obligations or any related document or instrument; (b) any forbearance, waiver, extension or compromise granted to the Borrower by the Lenders or Issuing Lender; (c) the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of
the Borrower or any other Guarantor or obligor; (d) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) the full or partial release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or obligor;
(f) the release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment (including without limitation negligent, willful; unreasonable or unjustifiable impairment) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations; (g) the failure of Agent,
Lender or Issuing Lender to properly obtain, perfect or preserve any security interest or Lien in any such collateral; (h) the failure of Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender to exercise diligence, commercial reasonableness or reasonable care in the
preservation, enforcement or sale of any such collateral; (i) the time for the Borrower’s performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document may be extended or such
performance or compliance may be waived; and (j) any other act or omission of Agent, the Lenders, Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person or any other circumstance which would otherwise constitute or create a legal or equitable defense
in favor of any Guarantor. 

  
 EXHIBIT
H – Page 2 

 5. Each Guarantor hereby waives any rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnity, or contribution which he may have as a result of paying the Guaranteed Obligations until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash. 

6. Each Guarantor represents and warrants that (a) it has received or will receive direct or indirect benefit from
the making of this Guaranty and the creation of the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) each Guarantor is familiar with the financial condition of the Borrower and the value of any collateral security for the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) neither
Agent, the Lenders nor Issuing Lender has made any representations to any Guarantor in order to induce such Guarantor to execute this Guaranty; (d) as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligation
evidenced hereby, each Guarantor is, and will be, solvent, and has and will have assets which, fairly valued, exceed his obligations, liabilities and debts; (e) to the best of its knowledge and belief, the execution, delivery and performance by
each Guarantor of this Guaranty and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder do not, and will not, contravene or conflict with any law, statute or regulation whatsoever to which such Guarantor is subject or constitute a default
(or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, charge, Lien, or any contract, agreement or other instrument to which such Guarantor is a
party or which may be applicable to such Guarantor or any of its assets; (f) this Guaranty is a legal and binding obligation of each Guarantor and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other
laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights; and (g) all representations and warranties made by each Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof. 

7. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that any Guarantor’s termination or disposition of any ownership interest in
the Borrower shall not alter, affect or in any way limit the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. 
 8. In
the event the Borrower is a corporation, joint stock association or partnership, or is hereafter incorporated, if the indebtedness at any time hereafter exceeds the amount permitted by law, or the Borrower is not liable because the act of creating
the obligation is ultra vires, or the officers or persons creating same acted in excess of their authority, and for these reasons any part of the Guaranteed Obligations cannot be enforced against the Borrower, such fact shall in no manner affect any
Guarantor’s liability hereunder; but each Guarantor shall be liable hereunder, notwithstanding any finding that the Borrower is not liable for part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, and to the same extent as such Guarantor would have been
if the Guaranteed Obligations had been enforceable against the Borrower. 
 9. In the event of a default in the
payment or performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations when such Guaranteed Obligations become due, whether by its terms, by acceleration or otherwise, each Guarantor shall, upon demand, promptly pay the amount due thereon to Agent,
in lawful money of the United States, at Agent’s address set forth in the Credit Agreement. One or more successive or concurrent actions may be brought against any Guarantor, either in the same action in which the Borrower is sued or in
separate actions, as often as Agent deems advisable. Suit may be brought or demand may be made against all parties who have signed this Guaranty or any other guaranty in favor of Agent covering all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or
against any one or more of them, separately or together, without 

  
 EXHIBIT
H – Page 3 

 
impairing the rights of Agent against any party hereto. The exercise by Agent of any right or remedy under this Guaranty or under any other agreement or instrument, at law, in equity or
otherwise, shall not preclude concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy. No delay on the part of Agent in exercising any right hereunder or failure to exercise the same shall operate as a waiver of such right. In no event shall
any waiver of the provisions of this Guaranty be effective unless the same be in writing and signed by Agent, and then only in the specific instance and for the purpose given. The books and records of Agent, the Lenders and Issuing Lender shall be
admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding involving this Guaranty and shall be prima facie evidence of the payments made on, and the outstanding balance of, the Guaranteed Obligations. 

10. To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations exceeding
the greater of (a) the amount of the economic benefit actually received by such Guarantor from the Loans and the Letters of Credit and (b) the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount
of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the Borrower) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth at the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors at the
date enforcement is sought hereunder, then such Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worths of such other Guarantors at the date enforcement hereunder is sought.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing its guaranty herein or affecting
the rights and remedies of the Guarantors hereunder. This Section 10 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 10 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of
the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay to the Lenders the Guaranteed Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof. 

11. If Agent, the Lenders or Issuing Lender must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by Agent,
the Lenders or Issuing Lender in satisfaction of any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to any Guarantor by Agent shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall be reinstated
and remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of the Borrower and each Guarantor that such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantors’ indefeasible performance of such obligations and then
only to the extent of such performance. 
 12. All notices shall be given as provided by the terms of the Credit
Agreement and to the addresses for notices set forth in the Credit Agreement. 
 13. This Guaranty shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, transferees, endorsees and legal representatives. 
 14. Whenever herein the singular number is used, the same shall include the plural where appropriate, and words of any gender shall include each other gender where appropriate. 

15. This Guaranty embodies the entire agreement between the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior agreements,
conditions and understandings, if any, related to the subject 

  
 EXHIBIT
H – Page 4 

 
matter hereof. This Guaranty may be amended only by a written instrument executed by Guarantors and Agent. The substantive laws of the State of Texas shall govern the validity, construction,
enforcement and interpretation of this Guaranty. For purposes of litigation pertaining to this Guaranty, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of state and federal courts located in the State
of Texas. Each Guarantor and Agent each agree that Dallas County, Texas, is a convenient forum in which to decide any dispute related to this Guaranty or the Credit Agreement and agrees that all actions pertaining to this Guaranty and the Credit
Agreement shall be brought in Dallas County, Texas. In addition to the obligation of each Guarantor set forth in Section 1 hereof, such Guarantor shall pay to Agent, the Lenders or Issuing Lender all costs and expenses (including court
costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by any of Agent, the Lenders or Issuing Lender in the preservation or enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder. 

16. THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO.
