 Section 3. Administration. 

(a) Authority of the Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, subject to Section 3(b); provided,

Executive Officer may not grant Awards to, or take any action with respect to any Award previously granted to, a person who is then an officer subject to Rule 16b-3 or a Director. Subject to the
terms of the Plan and applicable law, and in addition to other express powers and authorizations conferred on the Committee by the Plan, the Committee shall have full power and authority to: 

(i) designate Participants; 

(ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to a Participant;

(v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances Awards may be vested, settled, exercised, canceled, or forfeited; 

(vi) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to an Award made under the Plan; 

(vii) establish, amend, suspend, or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper
administration of the Plan; and 
 (viii) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or
desirable for the administration of the Plan. 
 The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, in
any Award or in any Award Agreement in such manner and to such extent as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or
with respect to the Plan or any Award shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time, and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Persons, including the General Partner, the Partnership, any of their
respective Affiliates, any Participant, and any beneficiary of any Award. 
 (b) Authority of a Subcommittee of the Committee. At any
time that a member of the Committee is not a Qualified Member, any action of the Committee relating to an Award granted or to be granted to a Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Partnership may be
taken either (i) by a subcommittee, designated by the Committee, composed solely of two or more Qualified Members, (ii) by the Committee but with each such member who is not a Qualified Member abstaining or recusing himself or herself from
such action; provided, however, that upon such abstention or recusal the Committee remains composed solely of two or more Qualified Members, or (iii) by the full Board. Any such action described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) of the
preceding sentence shall be deemed to be the action of the Committee for all purposes of the Plan. 

  
 5 

 (c) Limitation of Liability. The Committee and each member thereof shall be entitled to,
in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to him or her by any Employee, the General Partner’s or the Partnership’s legal counsel, independent auditors, consultants, or any other agents assisting in the
administration of the Plan. Members of the Committee and any Employee acting at the direction or on behalf of the Committee shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the General Partner with respect to any such action or determination. 

Section 4. Units. 

(a) Limits on Units Deliverable. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c) and Section 7, the number of Units that
may be delivered with respect to Awards under the Plan is [     ]. If any Award is forfeited, cancelled, exercised, settled in cash, or otherwise terminates or expires without the actual delivery of Units pursuant to such Award
(the grant of Restricted Units is not a delivery of Units for this purpose unless and until the Restricted Period for such Restricted Units lapses), or if any Units under an Award are held back to cover the exercise price or tax withholding
(including the withholding of Units with respect to an Award of Restricted Units), then, in either such case, the Units underlying such Awards that are so forfeited, cancelled, exercised, settled in cash or that otherwise terminate or expire without
the actual delivery of Units and Units so held back shall be available to satisfy future Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the aggregate grant date fair value (computed as of the date of grant in
accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of all Awards granted to any Director during any single calendar year shall not exceed $[     ]; provided, however, that such limitation shall be
$[     ] in the first year a Person becomes a Director. There shall not be any limitation on the number of Awards that may be paid in cash. 

(b) Sources of Units Deliverable under Awards. Any Units delivered pursuant to an Award shall consist, in whole or in part, of
(i) Units acquired in the open market; (ii) Units acquired from the Partnership (including newly issued Units), any Affiliate of the Partnership, or any other Person; or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the
Committee in its discretion. 
 (c) Adjustments. 

(i) Certain Restructurings. Upon the occurrence of any “equity restructuring” event that could result in an additional
compensation expense to the General Partner or the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 718 if adjustments to Awards with respect to such event were discretionary, the Committee shall equitably adjust the number and type of Units (or
other securities or property) covered by each outstanding Award and the terms and conditions, including the exercise price and performance criteria (if any), of such Award to equitably reflect such event and shall adjust the number and type of Units
(or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan after such event; provided, however, that no adjustment to any Award shall materially reduce the benefit to a Participant immediately prior to
such adjustment without the consent of such Participant. Upon the occurrence of any other similar event that would not result in an accounting charge under 

  
 6 

 
ASC Topic 718 if the adjustment to Awards with respect to such event were subject to discretionary action, the Committee shall have complete discretion to adjust Awards and the number and type of
Units (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan in such manner as it deems appropriate with respect to such other event. In the event the Committee makes any adjustment pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4(c), the Committee shall make a corresponding and proportionate adjustment with respect to the maximum number of Units that may be delivered with respect to Awards under the Plan as provided in Section 4(a) and
the kind of Units or other securities available for grant under the Plan. 
 (ii) Other Adjustments. Subject to, and without limiting
the scope of, the provisions of Section 4(c)(i), in the event that the Committee determines that any distribution (whether in the form of cash, Units, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, split, reverse split, reorganization,
merger, Change of Control, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Units or other securities of the Partnership, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Units or other securities of the Partnership, or
other similar transaction or event affects the Units such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be
made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (A) the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted, (B) the
number and type of Units (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and (C) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding
Award; provided, that the number of Units subject to any Award shall always be a whole number. Further, upon the occurrence of any event described in the preceding sentence, the Committee, acting in its sole discretion without the consent or
approval of any holder, may effect one or more of the following alternatives, which may vary among individual holders and which may vary among Awards: 

(A) remove any applicable forfeiture restrictions on any Award; 

(B) accelerate the time of exercisability or the time at which the Restricted Period shall lapse to a specific date specified
by the Committee; 
 (C) require the mandatory surrender to the General Partner or the Partnership by selected holders of
some or all of the outstanding Awards held by such holders (irrespective of whether such Awards are then subject to a Restricted Period or other restrictions pursuant to the Plan) as of a date specified by the Committee, in which event the Committee
shall thereupon cancel such Awards and cause the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their respective Affiliates to pay to each holder an amount of cash per Unit equal to the per Unit value as determined by the Committee as of the date
determined by the Committee to be the date of cancellation and surrender of such Awards less the exercise price, if any, applicable to such Awards; provided, however, that to the extent the exercise price of an Option or UAR exceeds
such per Unit value as determined by the Committee, no consideration will be paid with respect to that Award; 

  
 7 

 (D) cancel Awards that remain subject to a Restricted Period as of a date
specified by the Committee without payment of any consideration to the Participant for such Awards; or 
 (E) make such
adjustments to Awards then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such event (including, without limitation, the substitution of new awards for Awards); provided, however, that the Committee may determine in its sole
discretion that no adjustment is necessary to Awards then outstanding. 
 Section 5. Eligibility. Any Employee,
Consultant or Director shall be eligible to be designated a Participant and receive an Award under the Plan. 
 Section 6.
Awards. 
 (a) Options and UARs. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants,
and Directors to whom Options or UARs shall be granted, the number of Units to be covered by each Option or UAR, the exercise price therefor, the Restricted Period and other conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Option or UAR,
including the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. 

(i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Unit purchasable under an Option or subject to a UAR shall be determined by the Committee at
the time the Option or UAR is granted but, except with respect to substitute Awards pursuant to Section 6(f)(viii), may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of the date of grant of such Option or UAR. 

(ii) Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the exercise terms and the Restricted Period, if any, with respect to
an Option or UAR, which may include a provision for accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals or other events and the method or methods by which payment of the exercise price with respect to an Option or UAR may be made
or deemed to have been made, which may include cash, check acceptable to the General Partner, withholding Units having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price from the Award, a “cashless-broker”
exercise through procedures approved by the General Partner, other securities or other property, a note (in a form acceptable to the General Partner), or any combination of the foregoing methods. 

(iii) Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the Award Agreement, upon termination of a Participant’s
employment with (or service to) the General Partner and its Affiliates or membership on the Board, whichever is applicable, for any reason during the applicable Restricted Period, all outstanding Options and UARs awarded to the Participant shall be
automatically forfeited on such termination. 
 (b) Restricted Units and Phantom Units. The Committee shall have the authority to
determine the Employees, Consultants, and Directors to whom Restricted Units or Phantom Units shall be granted, the number of Restricted Units or Phantom Units to be granted to each such Participant, the applicable Restricted Period, the conditions
under which the Restricted Units or Phantom Units may become vested or forfeited, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may establish with respect to such Awards, including whether DERs are granted with respect to the Phantom Units.

  
 8 

 (i) UDRs. To the extent determined by the Committee, in its discretion, the Award
Agreement for a grant of Restricted Units may provide that distributions made by the Partnership with respect to the Restricted Units shall be subject to the same forfeiture and other restrictions as the Restricted Unit and, if restricted, such
distributions shall be held, with or without interest or other earnings credit (as determined by the Committee), until the Restricted Unit vests or is forfeited with the UDR being paid or forfeited at the same time, as the case may be. Absent such a
restriction on the UDRs in the Award Agreement, UDRs shall be paid to the holder of the Restricted Unit without restriction at the same time as cash distributions are paid by the Partnership to its unitholders. 

(ii) Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, upon termination of a Participant’s
employment with (or service to) the General Partner and its Affiliates or membership on the Board, whichever is applicable, for any reason during the applicable Restricted Period, all outstanding, unvested Restricted Units and Phantom Units awarded
to the Participant shall be automatically forfeited on such termination. 
 (iii) Lapse of Restrictions. 

(A) Phantom Units. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, upon or as soon as reasonably practical
following the vesting of each Phantom Unit, subject to Section 8(b), the Participant shall be entitled to settlement of such Phantom Unit and shall receive one Unit (or such greater or lesser number of Units as may be provided pursuant to the
applicable Award Agreement) or an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value (for purposes of this Section 6(b)(iii), as calculated on the last day of the Restricted Period) of a Unit (or such greater or lesser number of Units as may be
provided pursuant to the applicable Award Agreement) or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee in its discretion and as provided in the applicable Award Agreement. 

(B) Restricted Units. Upon or as soon as reasonably practicable following the vesting of each Restricted Unit, subject
to Section 8(b), the Participant shall be entitled to have the restrictions removed from his or her Unit certificate (or book entry account, as applicable). 

(c) DERs. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants, and Directors to whom DERs are granted,
whether such DERs are tandem or separate Awards, whether such DERs shall be paid directly to the Participant, be credited to a bookkeeping account (with or without interest or other earnings credit), any vesting restrictions and payment provisions
applicable to the DERs, and such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion, all of which shall be specified in the applicable Award Agreements. Distributions in respect of DERs shall be credited as of the
distribution dates during the period between the date an Award is granted to a Participant and the date such Award vests, is exercised, is distributed or expires, as determined by the Committee. Such DERs shall be converted to cash, Units,
Restricted Units, or Phantom Units by such formula and at such 

  
 9 

 
times and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Committee. Tandem DERs may be subject to the same or different vesting restrictions as the underlying Award, or be subject to
such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DERs shall only be paid in a manner that is either exempt from or in compliance with Section 409A. 

(d) Bonus Units and Awards in Lieu of Obligations. The Committee is authorized to grant Units as a bonus or to grant Units in lieu of
obligations to pay cash or deliver other property under the Plan or under other plans or compensatory arrangements to such Employees, Consultants and Directors and in such amounts as the Committee, in its discretion, may select. Bonus Units or
Awards granted hereunder shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee. 
 (e) Other
Unit-Based Awards; Cash Awards. Other Unit-Based Awards may be granted under the Plan to such Employees, Consultants, and Directors as the Committee, in its discretion, may select. An Other Unit-Based Award shall be an award denominated or
payable in, valued in or otherwise based on or related to Units, in whole or in part. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any Other Unit-Based Award, including, if such Other Unit-Based Award (or any portion thereof) is not
fully vested when granted, the conditions under which such Other Unit-Based Award (or the unvested portion thereof) may become vested or forfeited. Other Unit-Based Awards may be paid in cash, Units (including Restricted Units) or any combination
thereof as provided in the applicable Award Agreement. Cash Awards, as an element of or supplement to, or independent of any other Award under this Plan, may also be granted pursuant to this Section 6(e). 

(f) Certain Provisions Applicable to Awards. 

(i) Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in
addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with
other Awards or awards granted under any other plan of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their respective Affiliates may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards. 

(ii) Limits on Transfer of Awards. 

(A) Except as provided in Section 6(f)(ii)(C), each Option and UAR shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the
Participant’s lifetime, or by the Person to whom the Participant’s rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 

(B) Except as provided in Section 6(f)(ii)(C), no Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated,
pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void
and unenforceable against the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their respective Affiliates. 

  
 10 

 (C) The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement or in its discretion that an
Award may, on such terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to time establish, be transferred by a Participant without consideration to any “family member” of the Participant, as defined in the instructions to use of the Form
S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any related family trust, limited partnership or other transferee specifically approved by the Committee. 

(iii) Term of Awards. The term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee. 

(iv) Issuance of Units. The Units or other securities of the Partnership delivered pursuant to an Award may be evidenced in any manner
deemed appropriate by the Committee in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, in the form of a certificate issued in the name of the Participant or by book entry, electronic or otherwise and shall be subject to such stop transfer orders
and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the SEC, any securities exchange upon which such Units or other securities are then listed, and any applicable laws, and
the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be inscribed on any certificates, if applicable, to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 

(v) Consideration for Grants. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Awards may be granted for such consideration, including
services, as the Committee shall determine. 
 (vi) Delivery of Units or other Securities and Payment by Participant of
Consideration. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, subject to compliance with Section 409A, the Partnership shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries
evidencing Units pursuant to the exercise or vesting of any Award unless and until the Board or the Committee has determined, with advice of counsel, that (A) the issuance of such Units is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of
governmental authorities, and, if applicable, the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Units are listed or traded, and (B) the Units are covered by an effective registration statement or applicable exemption from registration.
In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board or the Committee may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board or the Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable in
order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the delivery of Units pursuant to the exercise or vesting of an Award may be deferred for any period during which, in the good faith
determination of the Committee, the Partnership is not reasonably able to obtain or deliver Units pursuant to such Award without violating applicable law or the applicable rules or regulations of any governmental agency or authority or securities
exchange. No Units or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement (including any exercise price or tax

  
 11 

 
withholding) is received by the General Partner. Such payment may be made by such method or methods and in such form or forms as the Committee shall determine, including cash, other Awards,
withholding of Units, cashless broker exercises with simultaneous sale, or any combination thereof; provided that the combined value, as determined by the Committee, of all cash and cash equivalents and the Fair Market Value of any such Units
or other property so tendered to the General Partner, as of the date of such tender, is at least equal to the full amount required to be paid to the General Partner pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement. 

(vii) Change of Control. If specifically provided in an Award Agreement, upon a Change of Control the Award may automatically vest and
be payable or become exercisable in full, as the case may be. 
 (viii) Substitute Awards. Awards may be granted under the Plan in
substitution of similar awards held by individuals who are or who become Employees, Consultants or Directors in connection with a merger, consolidation or acquisition by the Partnership or one of its Affiliates of another entity or the securities or
assets of another entity (including in connection with the acquisition by the Partnership or one of its Affiliates of additional securities of an entity that is an existing Affiliate of the Partnership). To the extent permitted by Section 409A,
such substitute Awards that are Options or UARs may have exercise prices less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the date of the substitution. 

(ix) Prohibition on Repricing of Options and UARs. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(c) and Section 7(c), the terms of
outstanding Award Agreements may not be amended without the approval of the Partnership’s unitholders so as to: 
 (A) reduce the Unit
exercise price of any outstanding Options or UARs, 
 (B) grant a new Option, UAR or other Award in substitution for, or upon the
cancellation of, any previously granted Option or UAR that has the effect of reducing the exercise price thereof, 
 (C) exchange any Option
or UAR for Units, cash, or other consideration when the exercise price per Unit under such Option or UAR exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Units, or 

(D) take any other action that would be considered a “repricing” of an Option or UAR under the listing standards of the New York
Stock Exchange or, if the Units are not then-listed on such exchange, to the extent applicable, on any other national securities exchange on which the Units are listed. 

Subject to Section 4(c), Section 7(c) and Section 8(n), the Committee shall have the authority, without the approval of the
Partnership’s unitholders, to amend any outstanding Award to increase the per Unit exercise price of any outstanding Options or UARs or to cancel and replace any outstanding Options or UARs with the grant of Options or UARs having a per Unit
exercise price that is equal to or greater than the per Unit exercise price of the original Options or UARs.

 Section 7. Amendment and Termination. Except to the extent prohibited by
applicable law: 
 (a) Amendments to the Plan. Except as required by applicable law or the rules of the principal securities exchange
on which the Units are traded and subject to Section 7(b) below, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan in any manner, including increasing the number of Units available for Awards under the
Plan, without the consent of any partner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or other Person. 
 (b) Amendments to
Awards. Subject to Section 7(a), the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter any Award theretofore granted (including, without limitation, requiring or allowing for an election to settle an Award in
cash), provided no change in any Award shall (i) materially reduce the benefit to a Participant immediately prior to such change without the consent of such Participant or (ii) cause such Award to fail to comply with the requirements of
Section 409A (to the extent applicable). 
 (c) Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring
Events. The Committee is hereby authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including the events described in Section 4(c)) affecting
the Partnership or the financial statements of the Partnership, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or such Award; provided, however, that no such adjustment may be made that (i) would cause the Plan or such Award to fail to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A (to the extent applicable), or (ii) would materially reduce the benefit to a Participant immediately prior to such adjustment without the consent of such Participant. 

Section 8. General Provisions. 

(a) No Rights to Award. No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for
uniformity of treatment of Participants. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient. 
 (b)
Tax Withholding. Unless other arrangements have been made that are acceptable to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner is authorized to deduct, withhold, or cause to be
deducted or withheld, from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award, or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Units, including Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant to such
Award, or other property) of any applicable taxes payable in respect of the grant or settlement of an Award, its exercise, the lapse of restrictions thereon, or any other payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other
action as may be necessary in the opinion of the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner to satisfy its withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes. In the event that Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant to an
Award are used to satisfy such withholding obligations, the number of Units that may be withheld or surrendered shall be limited to the number of Units that have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the aggregate amount of such
liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. 

  
 13 

 (c) No Right to Employment or Service Relationship. The grant of an Award shall not be
construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, to continue providing consulting services, or to remain on the Board, as applicable. Furthermore, the General Partner or an
Affiliate of the General Partner may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or his or her service relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, any Award Agreement or
other written agreement between any such entity and a Participant. 
 (d) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of
the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflict of laws principles. 

(e) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law or, if it cannot be construed
or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person, or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award
shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (f) Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Units or other
consideration under an Award if, in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Units or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation, the rules of the principal securities exchange on which
the Units are then traded, or entitle the Partnership or an Affiliate of the Partnership to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the General Partner by a Participant, other holder, or beneficiary
in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary. 
 (g) No
Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner and a Participant
or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured
creditor of the General Partner or such Affiliate. 
 (h) No Fractional Units. No fractional Units shall be issued or delivered
pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Units or whether such fractional Units or any rights
thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated with or without consideration. 

  
 14 

 (i) Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a
convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision hereof. 

(j) Facility Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any individual under legal disability or who, in the judgment of the Committee,
is unable to properly manage his financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such individual, or may be applied for the benefit of such individual in any manner that the Committee may select, and the General Partner, the
Partnership and their respective Affiliates shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts. 
 (k) Participation
by Affiliates. In making Awards to Employees employed by, or Consultants providing services to, an Affiliate of the General Partner, the Committee shall be acting on behalf of the Affiliate of the General Partner, and to the extent the
Partnership has an obligation to reimburse the General Partner for compensation paid to Employees or Consultants for services rendered for the benefit of the Partnership, such reimbursement payments may be made by the Partnership directly to the
Affiliate of the General Partner, and, if made to the General Partner, shall be received by the General Partner as agent for the Affiliate of the General Partner. 

(l) Allocation of Costs. Nothing herein shall be deemed to override, amend, or modify any cost sharing arrangement, omnibus agreement,
or other arrangement between the General Partner, the Partnership, and any of their respective Affiliates regarding the sharing of costs between such entities. 

(m) Gender and Number. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, the plural shall include the singular and the
singular shall include the plural. 
 (n) Compliance with Section 409A. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall operate
or be construed to cause the Plan or an Award that is subject to Section 409A to fail to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. The applicable provisions of Section 409A are hereby incorporated by reference and shall control
over any Plan or Award Agreement provision in conflict therewith or that would cause a failure of compliance thereunder, to the extent necessary to resolve such conflict or obviate such failure. Subject to any other restrictions or limitations
contained herein, in the event that a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A) becomes entitled to a payment under an Award that constitutes a “deferral of compensation” (as defined under Section 409A) on
account of a “separation from service” (as defined under Section 409A), to the extent required by the Code, such payment shall not occur until the date that is six months plus one day from the date of such separation from service. Any
amount that is otherwise payable within the six-month period described herein will be aggregated and paid in a lump sum without interest. 

(o) No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. None of the Board, the Committee, the Partnership, the General Partner, or any of their
respective Affiliates (i) provides or has provided any tax advice to any Participant or any other Person or makes or has made any assurance, commitment or guarantee that any federal, state, local or other tax treatment will (or will not) apply
or be available to any Participant or other Person or (ii) assumes any liability with respect to any tax or associated liabilities to which any Participant or other Person may be subject. 

  
 15 

 (p) Clawback. To the extent required by applicable law or any applicable securities
exchange listing standards, or as otherwise determined by the Committee, (i) Awards and amounts paid or payable pursuant to or with respect to Awards shall be subject to the provisions of any applicable clawback policies or procedures adopted
by the General Partner or the Partnership, which clawback policies or procedures may provide for forfeiture, repurchase, or recoupment of Awards and amounts paid or payable pursuant to or with respect to Awards, and (ii) notwithstanding any
provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner and the Partnership reserve the right, without the consent of any Participant or beneficiary of any Award, to adopt any such clawback policies and procedures,
including such policies and procedures applicable to the Plan or any Award Agreement with retroactive effect. 
 Section 9. Term
of the Plan. The Plan shall be effective on the date on which it is adopted by the Board and shall continue until the earliest of (i) the date terminated by the Board or the Committee, (ii) the date that all Units available under
the Plan have been delivered to Participants, or (iii) the 10th anniversary of the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award granted
prior to such termination, and the authority of the Board or the Committee under the Plan or an Award Agreement to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award, shall
extend beyond such termination date.

Section 2.01. Loans and Letters of Credit. 

(a) Loans. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms of this Agreement, to make loans to the Borrower during the period from and
including (i) the Closing Date or (ii) such later date that such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement as provided in Section 12.06(b), to but excluding, the Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any one time
outstanding up to but not exceeding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment as then in effect; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of all such Loans by all Lenders hereunder at any one time outstanding together with the LC
Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during the Revolving Credit Period, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow the amount of the Aggregate Commitments. 

(b) Letters of Credit. During the Revolving Credit Period, each Lender (or its Affiliates) that has agreed to act as an Issuing Bank
agrees to extend credit for the account of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries at any time and from time to time by issuing, renewing, extending or reissuing Letters of Credit; provided, however, that the LC Exposure at any one time
outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the LC Commitment or (ii) the Aggregate Commitments, as then in effect, minus the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding. The Lenders shall participate in such Letters of
Credit according to their respective Percentage Share of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts. Each of the Letters of Credit shall (A) be issued by the Issuing Bank, (B) contain such terms and provisions as are reasonably required by the
Issuing Bank, (C) be for the account of the Borrower or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries and (D) expire not later than the earlier of eighteen (18) months from the date of issuance, renewal, extension or reissuance or five
(5) days prior to the Termination Date. 
 (c) Limitation on Types of Loans. Subject to the other terms and provisions of this
Agreement, at the option of the Borrower, the Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans; provided that, without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders, no more than eight (8) Eurodollar Loans may be outstanding at any time to
any Lender. 
 Section 2.02. Borrowings, Continuations and Conversions, Letters of Credit. 

(a) Borrowings. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) advance notice as hereinafter
provided of each borrowing of Loans hereunder, which shall specify the aggregate amount of such borrowing, the Type and the date (which shall be a Business Day) of the Loans to be borrowed and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the duration of the
Interest Period therefor. 
 (b) Minimum Amounts. All Base Rate Loan borrowings shall be in amounts of at least $500,000 or the
remaining balance of the Aggregate Commitments, if less, or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and all Eurodollar Loans shall be in amounts of at least $2,500,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. 

  
 26 

 (c) Notices. All borrowings, continuations and conversions shall require advance written
notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) in the form of Exhibit B hereto (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed by such a written notice), which in each case shall be irrevocable, from the Borrower to be
received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. Houston, Texas time on the date of each Base Rate Loan borrowing and not later than 12:00 p.m. Houston, Texas time three Business Days prior to the date of each Eurodollar Loan
borrowing, continuation or conversion. Without in any way limiting the Borrower’s obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, the Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice believed by the
Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice
except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Continuation Options. Subject to the
provisions made in this Section 2.02(d), 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 2.02(c) to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) of such election, specifying the amount of such Loan to be continued and the Interest Period therefor. In the absence of such a timely and proper election,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.02(e). All or any part of any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as provided herein; provided that (i) any continuation of
any such Loan (or any part thereof) shall be in amounts of at least $2,500,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, each Eurodollar Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

(e) 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 as provided in Section 2.02(a) to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) of such election. Subject to the provisions made in this
Section 2.02(e), 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 2.02(c) to the Administrative Agent (which
shall promptly notify the Lenders) of such election. All or any part of any outstanding Eurodollar Loan may be converted as provided herein; provided that (i) any conversion of any Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan (or any part thereof)
shall be in amounts of at least $2,500,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Borrower by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of the Borrower, designated by the Borrower. 

  
 27 

 (g) Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank (which shall promptly
notify the Lenders of such request) advance notice to be received by the Issuing Bank not later than 11:00 a.m. Houston, Texas time not less than three Business Days prior thereto of each request for the issuance and at least three Business Days
prior to the date of the renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit hereunder which request shall specify the amount of such Letter of Credit, the date (which shall be a Business Day) such Letter of Credit is to be issued, renewed or extended, the
duration thereof, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, the form of the Letter of Credit and such other information as the Issuing Bank may reasonably request all of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank. 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 Bank shall issue such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof. 

In conjunction with the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall execute a Letter of Credit Agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any provision of a Letter of Credit Agreement and this Agreement, the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby
agree that the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. 
 The Issuing Bank will send to the Borrower and each Lender, 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. 
 (h) Loans
and Borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement. On the Closing Date (or as soon as practicable with respect to (iii)): 
 (i) the
Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid commitment fees, break funding fees under Section 5.05 and all other fees that are outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement for the account of each “Lender” under the Existing Credit
Agreement; 
 (ii) each “Base Rate Loan” and “Eurodollar Loan” outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be
deemed to be amended and restated with the proceeds of a new Base Rate Loan or Eurodollar Loan, as applicable, and continued as existing Loans under this Agreement and not as a novation; 

(iii) the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to cause each “Lender” under the Existing Credit Agreement to deliver to
the Borrower as soon as practicable after the Closing Date the Note issued by the Borrower to it under the Existing Credit Agreement, marked “canceled” or otherwise similarly defaced; 

(iv) any letters of credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed issued under this Agreement; and 

(v) the Existing Credit Agreement and the commitments thereunder shall be superceded by this Agreement and such commitments shall terminate.

  
 28 

 It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement not constitute a novation of the
obligations and liabilities existing under the Existing Credit Agreement or evidence repayment of any such obligations and liabilities and that this Agreement amend and restate in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement and re-evidence the
obligations of the Borrower outstanding thereunder. 
 Section 2.03. Changes of Maximum Credit Amount; Increase and Reduction of
Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount. 
 (a) Maximum Credit Amounts. The Aggregate Commitments shall at all times be equal to the
least of (i) the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts after adjustments resulting from reductions pursuant to Section 2.03(b), (ii) the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount after adjustments resulting from increases or reductions pursuant
to Section 2.03(d), or (iii) the Borrowing Base as determined from time to time. 
 (b) Voluntary Reduction/Termination. The
Borrower shall have the right to terminate in whole or to reduce in part the amount of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts at any time or from time to time upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which
shall promptly notify the Lenders) of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction (which in the case of any partial reduction shall not be less than $2,500,000 or any
whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof) and shall be irrevocable and effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts can never be less than the sum of the outstanding Loans
and the LC Exposure. Upon any reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount that would otherwise result in the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount being less than the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount, the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall
be automatically reduced (ratably among the Lenders) so that it equals the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount as so reduced. 
 (c)
Reinstatement. The Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated. 
 (d) Increase and Reduction
of Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount. 
 (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03(d)(ii), the Borrower may, at its
election, increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount then in effect by increasing the Elected Commitment of one or more existing Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender) and/or by causing one or more Persons that are acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and that at such time are not Lenders to become a Lender (each an “Additional Lender”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no case shall an Additional Lender be the
Borrower, an Affiliate of the Borrower or a natural person. 
 (ii) Any increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be subject
to the following additional conditions. 
  

	 	(A)	 such increase shall not be less than $50,000,000 unless (1) the Administrative Agent otherwise consents or (2) prior to giving effect to
such increase, the Borrowing Base exceeds 

  
 29 

	 	
the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount and after giving effect to such increase, the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount will equal the Borrowing Base; provided that no such increase shall be
permitted if after giving effect thereto the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount exceeds the Borrowing Base then in effect; 

  

	 	(B)	following any Scheduled Redetermination Date, the Borrower may not increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount more than once before the next Scheduled Redetermination Date unless the Administrative Agent otherwise
consents (it being understood that the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount may also be increased on any Scheduled Redetermination Date); 

  

	 	(C)	no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the effective date of such increase; 

  

	 	(D)	on the effective date of such increase, no Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding or if any Eurodollar Loans are outstanding, then the effective date of such increase shall be the last day of the Interest Period in
respect of such Eurodollar Loans unless the Borrower pays compensation, if any, required by Section 5.05; 

  

	 	(E)	no Lender’s Elected Commitment may be increased without the consent of such Lender; 

  

	 	(F)	subject to Section 2.03(d)(ix) below, if the Borrower elects to increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount by increasing the Elected Commitment of one or more Lenders, the Borrower and each such Lender shall

the Borrower, such Lender and/or the Administrative Agent; and 

  

	 	(G)	 if the Borrower elects to increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount by causing one or more Additional Lenders to become a party to this
Agreement, then the Borrower and each such Additional Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H (an “Additional Lender Certificate”), together with an
Administrative Questionnaire and a processing and recordation fee of 

  
 30 

	 	
$3,500 for each Additional Lender which shall be payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent unless waived by the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall (1) if requested by any
Additional Lender, deliver a Note payable to such Additional Lender in a principal amount equal to its Maximum Credit Amount, and otherwise duly completed and (2) pay any applicable fees as may have been agreed to between the Borrower, any
Additional Lender and/or the Administrative Agent. 

 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
Section 2.03(d)(iv), from and after the effective date specified in the Elected Commitment Increase Certificate or the Additional Lender Certificate (or if any Eurodollar Loans are outstanding, then the last day of the Interest Period in
respect of such Eurodollar Loans, unless the Borrower has paid compensation, if any, required by Section 5.05): (A) the amount of the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be increased as set forth therein, and (B) in the case of
an Additional Lender Certificate, any Additional Lender party thereto shall be a party to this Agreement and have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, the Lender or the Additional
Lender, as applicable, shall be deemed to have purchased a pro rata portion of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests in Letters of Credit) of each of the other Lenders (and such Lenders hereby agree to sell and to take all such further
action to effectuate such sale) such that each Lender (including any Additional Lender, if applicable) shall hold its Percentage Share of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests in Letters of Credit) after giving effect to the increase in
the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount and the resulting modification of each Lender’s Maximum Credit Amount pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(v). 

(iv) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Elected Commitment Increase Certificate or an Additional Lender Certificate, executed by the Borrower
and the Lender or by the Borrower and the Additional Lender party thereto, as applicable, the processing and recording fee referred to in Section 2.03(d)(ii) and the Administrative Questionnaire referred to in Section 2.03(d)(ii), if
applicable, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Elected Commitment Increase Certificate or Additional Lender Certificate and record the information contained therein in the Register required to be maintained by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 12.06(g). No increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 2.03(d)(iv). 

(v) Upon any increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.03(d), (A) each Lender’s Maximum
Credit Amount shall be automatically deemed amended to the extent necessary so that each such Lender’s Applicable Percentage equals the percentage of the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount represented by such Lender’s Elected Commitment,
in each case after giving effect to such increase, (B) Annex I to this Agreement shall be deemed amended to reflect the Elected Commitment of each Lender (including any Additional Lender) as thereby increased, any changes in the Lenders’
Maximum Credit Amounts pursuant to the foregoing clause (A), and any resulting changes in the Lenders’ Percentage Shares, and (C) the Borrower shall execute and deliver new Notes to the extent required under Section 2.06. 

  
 31 

 (vi) The Borrower may from time to time reduce the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount; provided
that (A) each reduction of the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents and (B) the Borrower shall
not reduce the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.07(b), the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loans plus the LC Exposure would exceed
the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount. 
 (vii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce
the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount under Section 2.03(d)(vi) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of
any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.03(d)(vii) shall be irrevocable. Any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Elected
Commitment Amount shall be permanent and may not be reinstated, except pursuant to Section 2.03(e)(i). Each reduction of the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s
Percentage Share. 
 (viii) Upon any redetermination or other adjustment in the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Agreement that would
otherwise result in the Borrowing Base becoming less than the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount, the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be automatically reduced (ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Percentage
Share) so that it equals such redetermined Borrowing Base (and Annex I shall be deemed amended to reflect such amendments to each Lender’s Elected Commitment and the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount). 

(ix) Contemporaneously with any increase in the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Agreement, if (A) the Borrower elects to increase the
Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount ratably among the Lenders and (B) each Lender has consented to such increase in its Elected Commitment, then the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be increased (ratably among the Lenders in accordance
with each Lender’s Percentage Share) by the amount requested by the Borrower (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d)(ii)(A)) without the requirement that any Lender deliver an Elected Commitment Increase Certificate, and
Annex I shall be deemed amended to reflect such amendments to each Lender’s Elected Commitment and the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount. The Administrative Agent shall record the information regarding such increases in the Register required
to be maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.06(g). 

  
 32 

 Section 2.04. Fees.

 Section 2.05. 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. 

Section 2.06. Notes. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower in substantially

rate and, if applicable, Interest Period of each Loan made by each Lender, and all payments made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books for its Note. Failure to make any such notation or to attach a
schedule shall not affect any Lender’s or the Borrower’s rights or obligations in respect of such Loans or affect the validity of such transfer by any Lender of its Note.

without premium or penalty, except as required under Section 5.05 for prepayment of Eurodollar Loans. Any prepayments on the Loans may be reborrowed subject to the then effective Aggregate Commitments. 

Section 2.08. Borrowing Base. 

(a) Initial Borrowing Base. For the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the first Scheduled Redetermination Date
thereafter, the amount of the Borrowing Base shall be $700,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowing Base may be subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to Section 2.08(e), Section 2.08(f), Section 8.08
or Section 9.13. 
 (b) Scheduled and Interim Redetermination. Subject to Section 2.08(d), the Borrowing Base shall be
redetermined (a “Scheduled Redetermination”) on April 1st and October 1st of each year, commencing April 1, 2015. In addition, either the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders,
may, once between Scheduled Redeterminations, each elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined (a “Wildcard Interim Redetermination”) in accordance with this Section 2.08. Furthermore, Borrower, may, once during each
calendar year, elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined (in addition to any Wildcard Interim Redetermination) between Scheduled Redeterminations (each such redetermination and Wildcard Interim Redetermination, an “Interim
Redetermination”) in connection with a material acquisition (including a drop-down of assets) of Oil and Gas Properties by Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with this Section 2.08. 

(c) Scheduled and Interim Redetermination Procedure. 

(i) Each Scheduled Redetermination and each Interim Redetermination shall be effectuated as follows: Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent
of (A) the applicable Reserve Report and the certificate related thereto in accordance with Section 8.07(c) and (B) the information provided pursuant to Section 8.07(c), the list of Hedging Agreements per Section 8.01(e),
and such other reports, data and supplemental information as may, from time to time, be reasonably requested by the Required Lenders (the Reserve Report, such certificate and such other reports, data and supplemental information being the
“Engineering Reports”), the Administrative Agent shall evaluate the information contained in the Engineering Reports and shall, in good faith, propose a new Borrowing Base (the “Proposed Borrowing Base”) based upon
such information and such other information (including, without limitation, the status of title information with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties as described in the Engineering Reports and the existence of any other Debt) as the Administrative
Agent, in good faith, deems appropriate and consistent with its normal oil and gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time; provided that (x) without the prior written consent of Required Lenders, the assigned value of the
Oil and Gas Properties included in the Borrowing Base of all Designated Borrowing Base Entities shall not exceed 0% of the total Borrowing Base and (y) without the prior written consent of each Lender, the assigned value of the Oil and Gas
Properties included in the Borrowing Base of all Designated Borrowing Base Entities shall not exceed 25% of the total Borrowing Base. 

  
 35 

 (ii) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Proposed Borrowing
Base (the “Proposed Borrowing Base Notice”): 
  

	 	(A)	in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination (1) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.07(a) and (c) in a
timely and complete manner, then on or before the March 15th and September 15th of such year following the date of delivery of such Engineering Report or (2) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports
required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.07(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then promptly after the Administrative Agent has received complete Engineering Reports from the Borrower and has had a reasonable
opportunity to determine the Proposed Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.08(c)(i) and in any event, within fifteen (15) days after the Administrative Agent has received the required Engineering Report; and 

 

	 	(B)	in the case of an Interim Redetermination, promptly, and in any event, within fifteen (15) days after the Administrative Agent has received the required Engineering Reports. 

(iii) Any Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved or deemed to have been approved by all
of the Lenders as provided in this Section 2.08(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 Lenders as provided
in this Section 2.08(c)(iii). Upon receipt of the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice, each Lender shall have fifteen (15) days to agree with the Proposed Borrowing Base or disagree with the Proposed Borrowing Base by proposing an alternate
Borrowing Base. If at the end of such fifteen (15) days, any Lender has not communicated its approval or disapproval in writing to the Administrative Agent, such silence shall be deemed to be an approval of the Proposed Borrowing Base. If, at
the end of such 15-day period, all of the Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, or the Required Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the
Borrowing Base then in effect, have approved or deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, then the Proposed Borrowing Base shall become the new Borrowing Base effective on the date specified in Section 2.08(d). If, however, at the end of such
15-day period, all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, have not approved or deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, then the Administrative Agent shall poll the Lenders to ascertain the highest Borrowing Base then acceptable to a
number of Lenders sufficient to constitute the Required Lenders 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 2.08(d).

  
 36 

 (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 Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.08(c)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders (the “New Borrowing Base
Notice”) of the amount of the redetermined Borrowing Base, and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders: 

(i) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, (A) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to be
delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.07(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on the April 1st or October 1st, as applicable, following delivery of the New Borrowing Base Notice, or (B) if the
Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.07(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of the New
Borrowing Base Notice; and 
 (ii) in the case of an Interim Redetermination, on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of the New
Borrowing Base Notice. 
 Such amount shall then become the Borrowing Base until the next Scheduled Redetermination Date, the next Interim
Redetermination date or the next adjustment to the Borrowing Base under Section 2.08(e), Section 8.08 or Section 9.13, whichever occurs first. 

(e) Potential Adjustment of Borrowing Base Upon Termination of Hedging Agreements or Sale of Oil and Gas Properties. If the Borrower,
any Designated Borrowing Base Entity or any Restricted Subsidiary shall (i) terminate or create any off-setting positions which has the economic effect of terminating any Hedging Agreements (regardless of how evidenced), upon which the Lenders
relied in determining the Borrowing Base, and which would affect the Borrowing Base (after giving effect to any replacement Hedging Agreements), or (ii) pursuant to Section 9.13(c), sell, assign, farm-out, convey or otherwise transfer any
interest in any Oil and Gas Properties, exceeding in the aggregate under clauses (i) and (ii) an amount exceeding 5% of the then current Borrowing Base then, contemporaneous with the consummation of such termination, offset, sale,
assignment, farm-out, conveyance or other transfer, the Borrowing Base shall be adjusted in an amount determined by the Administrative Agent equal to the economic value of such Hedging Agreements or interests. 

(f) Automatic Reduction of Borrowing Base. Simultaneously with the issuance or incurrence by the Borrower of any Permitted Subordinate
Debt in accordance with Section 9.02(i) or any Permitted Senior Debt in accordance with Section 9.02(j), the Borrowing Base shall be automatically reduced, without the need for any additional approval by the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders, by an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the principal amount of such Permitted Subordinate Debt or Permitted Senior Debt, respectively, issued or incurred; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Borrowing Base shall not be reduced to the extent that the proceeds from the issuance of such Debt are used to 

  
 37 

 
substantially concurrently Redeem (or if such Redemption is subject to mandatory notice periods or other required time periods, designated (and actually used) to Redeem) other Debt (other than
Indebtedness) of the Loan Parties being Redeemed thereby, provided further, that such other Debt is permitted under Section 9.02. Promptly following any such reduction in the Borrowing Base, Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and
the Lenders of the amount of the Borrowing Base as reduced, which Borrowing Base shall remain in effect for all purposes of this Agreement until the next Redetermination Date of the Borrowing Base in accordance with this Section 2.08 or any
additional adjustment of the Borrowing Base in accordance with this Section 2.08. 
 Section 2.09. 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. None of the Issuing Bank (except in the case of willful misconduct or bad
faith on the part of the Issuing Bank or any of its employees), its correspondents or any 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 such
messages 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 Bank’s control or the control of the Issuing Bank’s correspondents. In addition, neither the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent nor
any Lender shall be responsible for any error, neglect or default of any of the Issuing Bank’s correspondents; and none of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Issuing Bank’s, the Administrative Agent’s
or any Lender’s rights or powers hereunder or under the Letter of Credit Agreements, all of which rights shall be cumulative. The Issuing Bank 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 Bank or by any correspondent for the Issuing Bank 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 Bank or its correspondents under any resulting liability to the Borrower. 
 Section 2.10.
Obligation to Reimburse and to Prepay. 
 (a) If a disbursement by the Issuing Bank is made under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent within two Business Days after notice of any such disbursement is received by the Borrower, the amount of each such disbursement made by the Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit (if such payment is not sooner
effected as may be required under this Section 2.10 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 (i) the then applicable interest 

  
 38 

 
rate for Base Rate Loans through the second Business Day after notice of such disbursement is received by the Borrower and (ii) thereafter, the Post-Default Rate (but in no event to exceed
the Highest Lawful Rate) for the period from and including the third Business Day following the date of such disbursement to and including the date of repayment in full of such disbursed amount; provided that any disbursement in respect of a Letter
of Credit shall be deemed to have been reimbursed to the Issuing Bank by the Borrower with the proceeds of a borrowing of a Base Rate Loan from each of the Lenders based upon their Percentage Share of the amount disbursed if the Borrower was
otherwise entitled to borrow funds under Section 6.02, but subject to minimum amounts required under Section 2.02(b). 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: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any of the Security Instruments; (ii) 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 Security Instruments; (iii) 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 Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the Security Instruments, the transactions contemplated hereby or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any statement, certificate, draft, notice or any other document presented under
any Letter of Credit proves to have been forged, fraudulent, insufficient or invalid in any respect or any statement therein proves to have been untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (v) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which appears on its face to comply, but does not comply, with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower will not be liable for payment or performance
that results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank, except where the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary actually recovers the proceeds for itself or the Issuing Bank of any payment made by the Issuing Bank in
connection with such gross negligence or willful misconduct. Nothing herein set forth shall be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in
respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other
documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof pursuant to the terms hereunder. 
 (b) In the event of the
occurrence of any Event of Default, a payment or prepayment with respect to the LC Exposure is required under Section 2.07(b) or the maturity of the Notes, whether by acceleration or otherwise, an amount equal to the LC Exposure (or the excess
attributable to the LC Exposure in the case of Section 2.07(b)) shall be deemed to be forthwith due and owing by the Borrower to the Issuing Bank and the Lenders as of the date of any such occurrence, and the Borrower’s obligation to pay
such amount shall be absolute and 

  
 39 

 
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 Bank, the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person for any reason whatsoever. Such payments shall be held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders as cash collateral securing the LC Exposure in an account or accounts at the Principal
Office, and the Borrower hereby grants to and by its deposit with the Administrative Agent grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, a security interest in such cash collateral. 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 Administrative 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. 
 (c) Each Lender severally and unconditionally agrees that it
shall promptly reimburse the Issuing Bank, through the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts of any disbursement made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit that
is not reimbursed by the Borrower according to this Section 2.10 or alternatively, to make a Loan for the account of the Borrower equal to its Percentage Share of the amount disbursed. 

Section 2.11. Lending Offices. The Loans of each Type made by each Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender’s
Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type. 
 ARTICLE III 

Payments of Principal and Interest 

Section 3.01. Repayment of Loans. On the Termination Date, the Borrower shall repay the then outstanding aggregate principal on
the Notes. 
 Section 3.02. Interest. 

(a) Interest Rates. The Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each 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) if such a Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin (as in effect from time to
time), but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate; and 
 (ii) if such a Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, for each Interest Period relating
thereto, the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan plus the Applicable Margin (as in effect from time to time), but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 

  
 40 

 (b) Post-Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, interest at the applicable Post-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 such amount was due and payable (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) until the same is paid in
full. 
 (c) Due Dates. Accrued interest on Base Rate Loans shall be payable on each Quarterly Date and on the Termination Date, and
accrued interest on each Eurodollar Loan shall be payable on the last day of the Interest Period therefor and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months at three-month intervals following the first day of such Interest Period, except that
interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand and interest on any Eurodollar Loan that is converted into a Base Rate Loan (pursuant to Section 5.04) shall be payable on the date of conversion (but only
to the extent so converted) and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Termination Date. In the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than an optional prepayment of a Base Rate Loan prior to the Termination
Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. 
 (d)
Determination of Rates. Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders to which such interest is payable. Each determination
by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall, except in cases of manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. 

ARTICLE IV 
 Payments;
Pro Rata Treatment; Computations; Etc. 
 Section 4.01. Payments. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all
payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower or any Guarantor under the Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at such account as the Administrative Agent
shall specify by notice to the Borrower from time to time, not later than 1:00 p.m. Houston, Texas 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 Administrative 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 provided in clause (c) of 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 Administrative Agent of any principal of or interest on any borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the Type of Loans to which such payment shall apply. In the absence of such notice, the Administrative Agent may specify
the Type of 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. 

  
 41 

 Section 4.02. Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein,
each Lender agrees that: (a) each borrowing from the Lenders under Section 2.01 and each continuation and conversion under Section 2.02 shall be made from the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Share of Loan being so
borrowed, continued or converted, each payment of commitment fee or Letter of Credit (other than the facing fee) fees under Section 2.04(b)(i) shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Share of the
Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts under Section 2.03(b) shall be applied to the Maximum Credit Amount of each Lender, pro rata in accordance with its
Percentage Share of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts; (b) each payment of principal of Loans shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amount of the Loans held by all Lenders;
(c) each payment of interest of Loans shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest due and payable to all of the Lenders; and (d) each reimbursement by the Borrower of disbursements under
Letters of Credit shall be made for account of the Issuing Bank or, if funded by the Lenders, pro rata for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with the amounts of reimbursement obligations due and payable to each respective Lender. 

Section 4.03. Computations. 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 Highest Lawful 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. 
 Section 4.04. Non-receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.
Unless the Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, the Administrative 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 Administrative
Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent until but excluding the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum which, for any Lender as recipient, will be equal to the Federal Funds Rate, and for the Borrower as recipient, will be equal
to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 

  
 42 

 Section 4.05. Set-off, Sharing of Payments, Etc. 

(a) Right of Set-off. The Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off, bankers’ lien or
counterclaim a Lender, Cash Management Lender or Hedge Lender may otherwise have, (i) each Lender shall have the right and be entitled (after consultation with the Administrative Agent), at its option, to offset balances held by it or by any of
its Affiliates for account of the Borrower or any Guarantor at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, (ii) each Cash Management Lender shall have the right and be entitled (after consultation with the Administrative Agent), at
its option, to offset amounts due and payable to such Cash Management Lender (or any Affiliate of such Cash Management Lender) under any Cash Management Agreement, and (iii) each Hedge Lender shall have the right and be entitled (after
consultation with the Administrative Agent), at its option, to offset amounts due and payable to such Hedge Lender (or any Affiliate of such Hedge Lender) under any Hedging Agreement, each against any principal of or interest on any of such Loans,
Cash Management Agreement, Hedging Agreements or any other amount due and payable to such Lender, Cash Management Lender or Hedge Lender hereunder, which is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Borrower), in
which case it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, provided that such Lender’s, Cash Management Lender’s or Hedge Lender’s failure to give such notice or to so consult shall not affect the validity
thereof. 
 (b) Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan made by it to the Borrower
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 (i) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender
thereof and (ii) purchase from such other Lenders participations 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, 

  
 43 

 
insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 4.05 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 4.05 to share the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. 

Section 4.06. Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free and Clear. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.06(a)), the
Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) the
Borrower or such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law. 
 (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and
the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by
or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.06) and any penalties,
interest and reasonable out of pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than any
amounts arising as a result of such party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. A certificate prepared in good faith of the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank as to the amount of such payment or liability under this
Section 4.06 and reasonably detailed calculations therefor shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders and Issuing Banks. Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent
for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the
Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable out of pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 4.06(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender or
Issuing Bank a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. 

  
 44 

 (e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or a Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such
payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(f) Foreign Lenders and Foreign Issuing Bank. 

(i) Any Foreign Lender or Foreign Issuing Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the
jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located or is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences,
the completion, execution and submission of any such non-United States documentation (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the documentation described in subparagraph (ii) of this section (f)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or
Issuing Bank. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 4.06(f) if it is legally eligible to do so.
If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender or Issuing Bank, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days
after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender and Issuing Bank, if it is legally eligible to do so, shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender or Issuing Bank becomes a Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement, whichever of the following is applicable: 

 

	 	(A)	two (2) properly completed and executed IRS Forms W-8BEN, IRS Forms W-8BEN-E or any successor form claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party;

  
 45 

	 	(B)	two (2) properly completed and executed IRS Forms W-8ECI or any successor form claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax because the applicable income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or
business; 

  

	 	(C)	in the case of a Foreign Lender or Foreign Issuing Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is
not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two (2) properly completed and executed IRS Forms W-8BEN, IRS Forms W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form; 

 

	 	(D)	two (2) properly completed and executed IRS Forms W-8IMY or applicable successor form (together with forms listed under clauses (A) through (C) or (E) hereof, as may be required under this
Section 4.06(f)); 

  

	 	(E)	two (2) properly completed and executed IRS Forms W-9 or any successor form establishing an exemption from withholding; or 

  

	 	(F)	any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax properly completed and executed together with any supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

(iii) If a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such
Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and/or the Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent and/or the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to
determine that such Recipient has or has not complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.06(f)(iii), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

  
 46 

 (g) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the
effective date of the Agreement, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 
 Section 4.07. Disposition of Proceeds. The Security Instruments
contain an assignment by the Borrower unto and in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders of all of the Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ interest in and to production and all proceeds attributable thereto which may
be produced from or allocated to the Mortgaged Property, and the Security Instruments further provide in general for the application of such proceeds to the satisfaction of the Indebtedness and other obligations described therein and secured
thereby. Notwithstanding the assignment contained in such Security Instruments, until the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lenders (a) agree that they will neither notify the purchaser or purchasers of such production nor take any other
action to cause such proceeds to be remitted to the Lenders, but the Lenders will instead permit such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (b) hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as may be
necessary to cause such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and/or such Subsidiaries. 
 Section 4.08. Payments and Deductions to a
Defaulting Lender. 
 (a) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding
any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid in
cash. 
 (b) If a Defaulting Lender (or a Lender who would be a Defaulting Lender but for the expiration of the relevant grace period) as a
result of the exercise of a set-off shall have received a payment in respect of its Revolving Credit Exposure which results in its Revolving Credit Exposure being less than its Percentage Share, then no payments will be made to such Defaulting
Lender until such time as such Defaulting Lender shall have complied with Section 4.08(c) and all amounts due and owing to the Lenders have been equalized in accordance with each Lender’s respective pro rata share of the Indebtedness.
Further, if at any time prior to the acceleration or maturity of the Loans, the Administrative Agent shall receive any payment in respect of principal of a Loan or a reimbursement of an LC Disbursement while one or more Defaulting Lenders shall be
party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall apply such payment first to the Borrowing(s) for which such Defaulting Lender(s) shall have failed to fund its pro rata share until such time as such Borrowing(s) are paid in full or each
Lender (including each Defaulting Lender) is owed its Percentage Share of all Loans then outstanding. After acceleration or maturity of the Loans, subject to the first sentence of this Section 4.08(b), all principal will be paid ratably as
provided in Section 10.02(d). 
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

  
 47 

 (i) Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 2.04. 
 (ii) The Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in
determining whether all Lenders or the Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 12.04); provided that (A) any waiver, amendment or modification
requiring the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 12.04 or requiring the consent of each affected Lender with respect to any change to the Termination Date applicable to such Defaulting Lender, decreasing or forgiving any principal or
interest due to such Defaulting Lender, any decrease of any interest rate applicable to Loans made by such Defaulting Lender (other than the waiving of post-default or Borrowing Base Deficiency interest rates) and any increase in such Defaulting
Lender’s Commitment, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (B) any redetermination, whether an increase, decrease or affirmation, of the Borrowing Base shall occur without the participation of a Defaulting Lender, but the
Commitment (i.e., the Percentage Share of the Borrowing Base) of a Defaulting Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 

(iii) If any LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 

 

	 	(A)	all or any part of such LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares (for the purposes of such reallocation the Defaulting Lender’s
Commitment shall be disregarded in determining each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Percentage Share) but only to the extent (I) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure
does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments, (II) the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 are satisfied at such time and (III) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure plus its
reallocated share of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment; 

  

	 	(B)	if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, then the Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent cash
collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.10(b) for so long as such LC Exposure is
outstanding, or if such Defaulting Lender becomes a Non-Defaulting Lender or is replaced, until such LC Exposure is allocated to such Lender or replacement Lender, as applicable; 

  
 48 

	 	(C)	if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 4.08 then the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant
to Section 2.04(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 

 

	 	(D)	if the LC Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 4.08(c)(iii)(A), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04(a) and Section 2.04(b) shall be adjusted
in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Percentage Share; or 

  

	 	(E)	if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 4.08(c)(iii), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender
hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable
under Section 2.04(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated. 

(d) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit,
unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower (in any combination thereof) in accordance with Section 4.08(c), and
participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 4.08(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein). 

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

 ARTICLE V 

Additional Costs and Capital Adequacy 

Section 5.01. Additional Costs. 

(a) Eurodollar Regulations, etc. The Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may
reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs which it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make any Eurodollar Loans hereunder, or any reduction in any
amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of such Eurodollar Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any
Regulatory Change which: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any Note in respect of any of such Eurodollar Loans or subjects any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Taxes that are
Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve,
special deposit, minimum capital, capital ratio or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of such Lender, or any portion of the Aggregate Commitments or Loans of such
Lender or the Eurodollar interbank market; or (iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or any Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or such Lender’s Commitment or Loans. Each Lender will notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower of any event occurring after the Closing Date which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to
request such compensation, and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Lender affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole
opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender, provided that such Lender shall have no obligation to so designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States. If any Lender requests compensation from the Borrower under this
Section 5.01(a), the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender, suspend the obligation of such Lender to make additional Eurodollar Loans until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions
of Section 5.04 shall be applicable). 
 (b) Regulatory Change. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of
Section 5.01(a), in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change or any other circumstances arising after the Closing Date affecting such Lender, the Eurodollar interbank market or such Lender’s position in such market, any Lender
either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on
Eurodollar Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes Eurodollar Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of
liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower, 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 5.04 shall be applicable). 
 (c) Capital Adequacy. Without limiting the
effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.01 (but without duplication), the Borrower shall pay directly to any Lender from time to time on request such amounts as such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate
such Lender or its parent or holding company for any costs which it determines are attributable to the maintenance by such Lender or its parent or holding company (or any 

  
 50 

 
Applicable Lending Office), pursuant to any Governmental Requirement following any Regulatory Change, of capital in respect of its Commitment, its Notes, its Loans or any interest held by it in
any Letter of Credit, such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of such Lender or its parent or holding company (or any Applicable Lending Office) to a level below
that which such Lender or its parent or holding company (or any Applicable Lending Office) could have achieved but for such Governmental Requirement. Such Lender will notify the Borrower that it is entitled to compensation pursuant to this
Section 5.01(c) as promptly as practicable after it determines to request such compensation. 
 (d) Compensation Procedure. Any
Lender notifying the Borrower of the incurrence of Additional Costs under this Section 5.01 shall in such notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent set forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of its request for compensation.
Determinations and allocations by each Lender for purposes of this Section 5.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b), or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to Section 5.01(c), on its
costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans or Letters of Credit, and of the amounts required to compensate such Lender under this
Section 5.01, shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error for all purposes, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis. Any request for additional compensation under this Section 5.01 shall
be paid by the Borrower within 30 days of the receipt by the Borrower of the notice described in this Section 5.01(d). 

Section 5.02. Limitation on Eurodollar Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the
determination of any Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period: 
 (a) the Administrative 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 Rate” in Section 1.02 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; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent
determines (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” in Section 1.02 upon the basis of which the rate of interest for
Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not sufficient to adequately cover the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans; 

then the Administrative 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. 
 Section 5.03. 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 Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.04 shall be applicable). 

  
 51 

 Section 5.04. Base Rate Loans. Pursuant to Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03. If the
obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Sections 5.01, 5.02 or 5.03 (“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 5.01(b) or Section 5.03 has occurred and such Lender so 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. 
 Section 5.05. Compensation. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender within 30
days of receipt of written request of such Lender (which request shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for requesting such amounts and which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error 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 (other than loss of profit) which such Lender determines are attributable to: 

(a) 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 10.02) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or 

(b) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the conditions precedent specified in
Article VI 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 2.02(c).

Parent MLP) and each Restricted Subsidiary: (a) is duly organized or formed, legally existing and in good standing, if applicable, under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, except where failure to so exist or remain in good standing
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) has all requisite power, and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now
being or as proposed to be conducted, except where failure to have such power could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (c) is qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which the nature of the business
conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and where failure so to qualify could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 7.02. Financial Condition. 

(a) The (i) audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and the
related consolidated statement of income, partners’ capital and cash flow of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended on said date, with the opinion thereon of UHY Mann Frankfort Stein & Lipp CPAs, LLP

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 against or affecting any Group Member which involves the possibility of any
judgment or liability against such Group Member not fully covered by insurance (except for normal deductibles) and which if adversely determined could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 7.04. 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 or by-laws of any Loan Party, any Governmental Requirement or any material agreement or
instrument to which a Loan Party is a party or by which it is bound or to which it or its Properties are subject, or constitute a default under any such agreement or instrument, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the

its material Oil and Gas Properties and the equity interests owned by it in each Designated Borrowing Base Entity and good title to its other material personal Properties, in each case, free and clear of all Liens except Liens permitted by
Section 9.03. After giving full effect to the Excepted Liens, the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiary specified as the owner owns the net interests in production attributable to the Hydrocarbon Interests as reflected in the most recently
delivered Reserve Report, and the ownership of such Properties shall not in any material respect obligate the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary to bear the costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operations of each such
Property in an amount in excess of the working interest of each Property set forth in the most recently delivered Reserve Report that is not offset by a corresponding proportionate increase in the Borrower’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s
net revenue interest in such Property. 
 (b) All material leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of the Loan
Parties are valid and subsisting, in full force and effect, 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

 (c) The rights, Properties and other
assets presently owned, leased or licensed by the Loan Parties including, without limitation, all easements and rights of way, include all rights, Properties and other assets necessary to permit them to conduct their business in all material

 (d) All of the assets and Properties of the
Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) and the Restricted Subsidiaries which are reasonably necessary for the operation of its business are in good working condition and are maintained in accordance with prudent business

 Section 7.11. No Material Misstatements. No written information, statement, exhibit,
certificate, document or report (other than projections, forward looking information and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (or any of them) by the Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement contains any material misstatement of fact or omits 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 the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. All financial projections concerning the Loan Parties furnished to the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders (or any of them) by any Loan Party in connection with the negotiation or this Agreement have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Loan Parties to be reasonable at the time made, it being understood that
actual results may vary materially from such projections. There is no fact peculiar to the Borrower (or following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) or any Restricted Subsidiary which has a Material Adverse Effect or in the future is reasonably
likely to have (so far as the Borrower (or following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) can now foresee) a Material Adverse Effect and which has not been set forth in this Agreement or the other documents, certificates and statements furnished to
the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary prior to, or on, the Closing Date in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. There are no statements or conclusions in any Reserve Report which are
based upon or include misleading information or fail to take into account material information regarding the matters reported therein, it being understood that each Reserve Report is necessarily based upon professional opinions, estimates and
projections and that Borrower does not warrant that such opinions, estimates and projections will ultimately prove to have been accurate. No representation or warranty is made with respect to any Hydrocarbon Interest to which no proved oil or gas
reserves are properly attributed. 
 Section 7.12. Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower (nor following the Parent MLP
IPO, the Parent MLP) nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

Section 7.13. Subsidiaries. The Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) has no Subsidiaries other than those
listed in Schedule 7.13, as supplemented from time to time by the Borrower by written notice to the Administrative Agent. Schedule 7.13, as supplemented from time to time by the Borrower by written notice to the Administrative Agent identifies each
Subsidiary as either Restricted or Unrestricted or Foreign and its state or country of organization. The Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) has no Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors except as permitted by
Section 8.09(b). 
 Section 7.14. Material Personal Property. All pipelines, wells, gas processing plants, platforms and
other material improvements, fixtures and equipment owned in whole or in part by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are necessary to conduct normal operations are being maintained in a state adequate to conduct normal
operations, and with respect to such of the foregoing which are operated by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in a manner consistent with the Borrower’s or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ past practices (other than those the
failure of which to maintain in accordance with this Section 7.14 could not reasonably be expect to have a Material Adverse Effect). 

  
 59 

 Section 7.15. Defaults. No Loan Party is in default and no 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 a Loan Party is a party or by which the Borrower (or following the
Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) or any Restricted Subsidiary is bound which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing. 

Section 7.16. Environmental Matters. Except as could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (or with respect
to (c), (d) and (e) below, where the failure to take such actions could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect): 

(a) neither any Property of the Borrower (nor following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) nor any Subsidiary nor the operations conducted
thereon violate any order or requirement of any court or Governmental Authority or any Environmental Laws; 
 (b) no Property of the Borrower
(nor following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) nor any Subsidiary nor the operations currently conducted thereon or, to the knowledge of the Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP), 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 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 following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) and each Subsidiary, including, 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 following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) 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 following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) 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 knowledge of the Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP), 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 (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) 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 following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) 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; 

  
 60 

 (f) to the extent applicable, all Property of the Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the
Parent MLP) and each Subsidiary currently satisfies all design, operation, and equipment requirements imposed by the OPA, and the Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) does not have any reason to believe that such Property, to
the extent subject to the OPA, will not be able to maintain compliance with the OPA requirements during the term of this Agreement; and 

(g) neither the Borrower (nor following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) 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. 
 Section 7.17.
Compliance with the Law; Maintenance of Properties. No Loan Party has violated any applicable Governmental Requirement binding upon it or its Properties 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.
Except for such acts or failures to act as could not be reasonably expected to 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, except for those as could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) 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 (b) none of the wells comprising a part of the Oil and Gas Properties (or properties unitized therewith) is 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). 

Section 7.18. Insurance. The Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) has, and has caused all its Restricted
Subsidiaries to have (a) all insurance policies sufficient for the compliance by each of them with all material Governmental Requirements and all material agreements and (b) insurance coverage in at least amounts and against such risk
(including, without limitation, public liability) that are usually insured against by companies similarly situated and engaged in the same or a similar business for the assets and operations of the Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the
Parent MLP) and its Restricted Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders have been named as additional insureds in respect of such liability insurance policies that are maintained by the Borrower and/or the Parent MLP and/or any
Restricted Subsidiary.

Designated Borrowing Base Entity, its constituent documents), or subject to any order, judgment, writ or decree, which either restricts or purports to restrict its ability to grant Liens to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on or in respect

Property. The Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) and its Restricted Subsidiaries either own or have valid licenses or other rights to use all databases, geological data, geophysical data, engineering data, maps,
interpretations and other technical information used in their businesses as presently conducted, subject to the limitations contained in the agreements governing the use of the same, which limitations are customary for companies engaged in the
business of the exploration and production of Hydrocarbons, with such exceptions as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 7.22. Gas Imbalances. As of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule 7.22 or on the most recent certificate
delivered pursuant to Section 8.07(c), on a net basis there are no gas imbalances, take or pay or other prepayments with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties which would require the delivery of Hydrocarbons produced from the Oil and Gas
Properties at some future time without the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor exceeding $1,000,000 in the aggregate. 

Section 7.23. Marketing of Production. Except for contracts listed on Schedule 7.23 (with respect to all of which contracts the

substantially below the subject Property’s delivery capacity), as of the Closing Date, there exist no material agreements which are not cancelable on 60 days notice or less without penalty or detriment for the sale of production from the

Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) and the Guarantors will not have incurred or intended to incur, and will not believe that it will incur, Debt beyond its ability to pay such Debt (after taking into account the timing and

offset, insurance or any similar arrangement) as such Debt becomes absolute and matures and (c) each of the Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) and the Guarantors will not have (and will have no reason to believe that it

material respects and to have been prepared in accordance with the procedures used in the immediately preceding January 1st Reserve Report. 

(b) In the event of an Interim Redetermination, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Reserve Report
prepared by or under the supervision of the chief engineer of the Borrower who shall certify such Reserve Report to be true and accurate to the best of his or her knowledge in all material respects and to have been prepared in accordance with the

date as required by the Administrative Agent as soon as possible, but in any event no later than 45 days following the receipt of such request. 

(c) With the delivery of each Reserve Report, the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, a certificate from a
Responsible Officer certifying that, to the best of his knowledge and in all material respects: (i) the information contained in the Reserve Report and any other information delivered in connection therewith is true and correct, (ii) the
Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries owns good and defensible title to the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in such Reserve Report and such Properties are free of all Liens except for Liens permitted by Section 9.03, (iii) 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 in excess of the volume specified in Section 7.22 with respect to its Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in such Reserve Report
which would require the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to deliver Hydrocarbons produced from such Oil and Gas Properties at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor, (iv) none of its Oil and Gas
Properties included in the most recently delivered 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 Oil and Gas
Properties sold and in such detail as reasonably required by the Majority Lenders, (v) attached to the certificate is a list of all marketing agreements entered into subsequent to the later of the Closing Date or the most recently delivered
Reserve Report which the Borrower would have been obligated to list on Schedule 7.23 had such agreement been in effect on the Closing Date and (vi) attached thereto is a schedule of the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report
that are Mortgaged Property. 

  
 70 

 Section 8.08. Oil & Gas Properties. The Borrower may, by written notice to
the Administrative Agent, elect to remove Oil and Gas Properties (the “Elected Oil and Gas Properties”) from the Borrowing Base. Promptly thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the
Borrower’s expense, any releases, terminations or other amendments to the Security Instruments to effectuate a release of Liens on the Elected Oil and Gas Properties, and at such time and without any further action by any Person except as
expressly set forth below (a) such Elected Oil and Gas Properties shall be deemed to not be included in the most recently delivered Reserve Report, and (b) the then outstanding Borrowing Base shall be reduced by an amount equal to the
value of such Elected Oil and Gas Properties as reasonably determined by the Majority Lenders. 
 Section 8.09. Additional
Collateral; Additional Guarantors. 
 (a) In connection with each redetermination of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall review the
Reserve Report and the list of current Mortgaged Properties to ascertain whether the Mortgaged Properties have a PV9% of not less than the Minimum Collateral Value, based upon the Administrative Agent’s then current commodity price projections
and assumptions. In connection with such review, the Borrower shall supply the Administrative Agent with a written report of the calculations used to determine such PV9% value of the Mortgaged Properties certified by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower. In the event that the Mortgaged Properties do not have a PV9% of at least the Minimum Collateral Value, then the Borrower shall, and shall cause its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Designated Borrowing Base Entities) to, grant to
the Administrative Agent as security for the Indebtedness a first-priority Lien interest (subject only to Excepted Liens of the type described in clauses (a) to (e), (g) and (h) of the definition thereof) on additional Oil and Gas
Properties (other than those owned by Designated Borrowing Base Entities or not included in the most recently delivered Reserve Report) such that after giving effect thereto, the Mortgaged Properties will have a PV9% value, based upon such
projections and assumptions, of not less than the Minimum Collateral Value. All such Liens will be created and perfected by and in accordance with the provisions of deeds of trust, security agreements and financing statements, or other Security
Instruments, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and in sufficient executed (and acknowledged where necessary or appropriate) counterparts for recording purposes. In order to comply with the foregoing, if
any Restricted Subsidiary places a Lien on its Oil and Gas Properties that are included in the most recently delivered Reserve Report and such Restricted Subsidiary is not a Guarantor, then it shall become a Guarantor and comply with
Section 8.09(b). 
 (b) In connection with the consummation of the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP and new General Partner shall
guarantee the Indebtedness pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement and shall join this Agreement pursuant to a joinder in such form as Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) shall
notify the Administrative Agent at the time that any Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, and promptly thereafter (and in any event within 30 days) cause any such Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary to guarantee the
Indebtedness pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement; provided (w) any Designated Borrowing Base Entity which is not then a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary shall not be required to guarantee the Indebtedness, (x) BSAP II GP, L.L.C and the Parent MLP
GP shall not be required to guarantee the Indebtedness, (y) Black Stone Natural Resources Management Company shall not be required to guarantee the Indebtedness 

  
 71 

 
unless it shall have consolidated net tangible assets (other than any such assets to be used for the purpose of funding payroll, compensation and benefits and other disbursements) in excess of
$5,000,000, and (z) any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be required to guarantee the Indebtedness unless it shall have either (x) consolidated net tangible assets (other than any such assets to be used for the purpose of funding payroll,
compensation and benefits and other disbursements) in excess of $5,000,000 or (y) Oil and Gas Properties included in the Borrowing Base. In connection with any such guarantee by the Parent MLP and/or such Restricted Subsidiary that is not an
Excluded Subsidiary, the Borrower (and/or the Parent MLP, as applicable) shall, or shall cause such Subsidiary to, (i) execute and deliver a supplement to the Guarantee Agreement executed by such Subsidiary, (ii) pledge all of the capital
stock of such new Subsidiary (including, without limitation, delivery of original stock certificates evidencing the capital stock of such Subsidiary, together with an appropriate undated stock powers for each certificate duly executed in blank by
the registered owner thereof) and (iii) execute and deliver such other additional closing documents, certificates and legal opinions as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent. In the event that the Borrower and/or one or more
Guarantors forms or acquires any interests in a Designated Borrowing Base Entity which is not then a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary and which is a Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary, the Borrower or such Guarantor (as applicable)
shall, or shall cause such Subsidiary to, (i) pledge all of the capital stock owned by the Borrower and/or a Guarantor of such new Designated Borrowing Base Entity (including, without limitation, delivery of original stock certificates
evidencing the capital stock of such Person, together with an appropriate undated stock powers for each certificate duly executed in blank by the registered owner thereof) and (ii) execute and deliver such other additional closing documents,
certificates and legal opinions as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent. In the event that the Borrower (or following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) and/or one or more Guarantors forms or acquires any interests in a
Restricted Subsidiary that is a First-Tier Foreign Subsidiary or FSHCO, the Borrower (or following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) shall, or shall cause such Guarantor to, (iii) pledge 65% of the voting capital stock and all of the
non-voting capital stock owned by the Borrower (or the Parent MLP, as applicable) and/or a Guarantor of such new First-Tier Foreign Subsidiary or FSHCO (including, without limitation, if applicable, delivery of original stock certificates evidencing
the capital stock of such Person, together with an appropriate undated stock powers for each certificate duly executed in blank by the registered owner thereof) and (iv) execute and deliver such other additional closing documents, certificates
and legal opinions as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the capital stock of a Foreign Subsidiary that is not a First-Tier Foreign Subsidiary shall be pledged. 

(c) In the event that an Event of Default occurs or a Deficiency continues beyond any applicable cure period, the Borrower (and following the
Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) shall, and shall cause each of its Guarantors to, immediately execute and deliver documentation in the form requested by the Administrative Agent granting a first priority Lien on all of the Borrower’s and its
Guarantors’ Property that is not then Mortgaged Property. 
 Section 8.10. ERISA Information and Compliance. As soon as
available, and in any event, within ten days after the Borrower (or following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) obtains knowledge of any of the following, the Borrower (or the Parent MLP, as applicable) will furnish and will cause each ERISA
Affiliate to promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent 

  
 72 

 
with sufficient copies to the Lenders (a) a written notice signed by a Responsible Officer describing the occurrence of any ERISA Event or of any material “prohibited transaction,”
as described in section 406 of ERISA or in section 4975 of the Code, in connection with any Plan or any trust created thereunder, and specifying what action the Borrower (or the Parent MLP, as applicable) or the ERISA Affiliate is taking or proposes

a trustee appointed to administer any Plan and (c) a written notice of the Borrower’s (or the Parent MLP’s, if applicable) or an ERISA Affiliate’s participation in a Multiemployer Plan. With respect to each Plan (other than a
Multiemployer Plan), the Borrower (or following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) will, and will cause each ERISA Affiliate to, (i) satisfy in full and in a timely manner, without incurring any material late payment or underpayment charge or
penalty and without giving rise to any Lien, all of the contribution and funding requirements of section 412 of the Code (determined without regard to subsections (d), (e), (f) and (k) thereof) and of section 302 of ERISA (determined
without regard to sections 303, 304 and 306 of ERISA), and (ii) pay, or cause to be paid, to the PBGC in a timely manner, without incurring any material late payment or underpayment charge or penalty, all premiums required pursuant to sections
4006 and 4007 of ERISA. 
 Section 8.11. Distribution Compliance. The Borrower shall cause each Designated Borrowing Base Entity
to make distributions of all net income and/or net profits as required by its partnership agreement as in effect on the Closing Date without regard to amendments that regard such distributions. Each Designated Borrowing Base Entity formed or
acquired after the Closing Date shall have a distribution policy substantially similar to Black Stone Natural Resources I, LP’s policy and the Borrower shall cause each such Person to comply with such policy. 

Section 8.12. Designated Borrowing Base Entities and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO,
the Parent MLP): 
 (a) will cause the management, business and affairs of each of the Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent
MLP) and its Restricted Subsidiaries to be conducted in such a manner (including, without limitation, by keeping separate books of account, furnishing separate financial statements of each Designated Borrowing Base Entity and Unrestricted Subsidiary
to creditors and potential creditors thereof and by not permitting Properties of the Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) and its Restricted Subsidiaries to be commingled with Properties of the Designated Borrowing Base
Entities and Unrestricted Subsidiaries) so that each Designated Borrowing Base Entity and Unrestricted Subsidiary will be treated as an entity separate and distinct from the Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) and its other
Subsidiaries. 
 (b) will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, incur, assume, guarantee or be or become liable for
(whether as general partner, managing member or otherwise) any Debt of any other Subsidiary at any time such Person is not also a Restricted Subsidiary. 

  
 73 

 (c) will not permit any Designated Borrowing Base Entity or Unrestricted Subsidiary to purchase
or hold any equity interest in, or any Debt of, the Borrower (or following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) or any Restricted Subsidiary. 

(d) will not create or suffer to exist any Subsidiary that is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary unless such Subsidiary is a Designated Borrowing
Base Entity or an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 Section 8.13. Commodity Exchange Act Keepwell Provisions. The Borrower (and
following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) shall, and shall cause each Qualified ECP Guarantor, jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each
other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under the Security Instruments in respect of Hedging Agreements (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 8.13 for the maximum amount of such
liability that can be incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 8.13, or otherwise under any Security Instrument, as it relates to such other Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or
fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 8.13 shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments have expired or been terminated and the principal of and
interest on each Loan and all fees payable hereunder and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full in immediately available funds and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or terminated or been cash
collateralized and all LC Disbursements shall have been reimbursed. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 8.13 constitute, and this Section 8.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other
agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

Section 8.14. Foreign Corrupt Practices. Borrower (and following the Parent MLP IPO, the Parent MLP) and its Subsidiaries have
instituted and will maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance with the FCPA.

enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any Note or any other document referred to or provided for herein or for any failure by the Borrower or any other Person (other than itself) to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder
or for the existence, value, perfection or priority of any collateral security or the financial or other condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or any other obligor or guarantor; (c) except pursuant to Section 11.07, shall be
required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder; and (d) shall be responsible for any action 

  
 87 

 
taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or in connection herewith INCLUDING ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, except
for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent may employ agents, accountants, attorneys and experts and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, accountants, 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent is authorized to release any collateral
that is permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. 
 Section 11.02. Reliance by Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telecopier, telegram or cable) 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 it. 

Section 11.03. Defaults. The Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. In the event of a payment Default,
the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of each such payment Default. 
 Section 11.04. Rights as a
Lender. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it and its participation in the issuance of Letters of Credit, Wells Fargo (and any successor acting as Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates,
include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and their respective 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 Administrative Agent, and Wells Fargo and its respective 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. 

Section 11.05. INDEMNIFICATION. THE LENDERS AGREE TO INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ARRANGER AND THE ISSUING BANK RATABLY
FOR THE INDEMNITY MATTERS AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 12.03 TO THE EXTENT NOT INDEMNIFIED OR REIMBURSED BY THE BORROWER UNDER SECTION 12.03, BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER UNDER SAID SECTION 12.03 AND FOR ANY AND ALL OTHER
LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES 

  
 88 

 
OR DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND AND NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ARRANGER OR ANY ISSUING BANK IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR
ARISING OUT OF: (I) THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS 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 THEIR AGENCY DUTIES HEREUNDER OR (II) THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OF ANY SUCH OTHER DOCUMENTS; WHETHER OR NOT ANY OF THE FOREGOING SPECIFIED IN THIS
SECTION 11.05 ARISES FROM THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ARRANGER OR THE ISSUING BANK, 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 PERSON SEEKING SUCH INDEMNIFICATION. 
 Section 11.06. Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent, Arranger and
other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Arranger 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 Subsidiaries and its own decision to enter into this Agreement, and that each Lender will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger 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 Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall not be required to keep
themselves informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of this Agreement, the Notes, the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the properties or books of the
Borrower or its Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger shall 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 Administrative Agent, the
Arranger nor any of their respective Affiliates. In this regard, each Lender acknowledges that Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP is acting in this transaction as special counsel to the Administrative Agent only, except to the extent otherwise
expressly stated in any legal opinion or any Loan Document. Each other party hereto 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. 

Section 11.07. Action by Administrative Agent. Except for action or other matters expressly required of the Administrative Agent,
the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall (a) receive written instructions from the Majority Lenders, the Majority Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable, (or
all of the Lenders as expressly required by Section 12.04) specifying the action to be taken, and (b) be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expenses which

  
 89 

 
may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The instructions as aforesaid and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto by the Administrative Agent
shall be binding on all of the Lenders. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the requisite Lenders in the written instructions (with
indemnities) described in this Section 11.07, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal
liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or applicable law. 
 Section 11.08. Resignation or Removal of
Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, and Administrative Agent
may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided that the successor shall have a combined
capital and surplus of not less than $200,000,000 or its equivalent in other currencies. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint its successor; provided
that the successor shall have a combined capital and surplus of not less than $200,000,000 or its equivalent in other currencies. Upon the acceptance of such appointment hereunder by a successor, such successor shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI and Section 12.03 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
Administrative Agent. 
 Section 11.09. Authority of Administrative Agent to Release Liens. The Administrative Agent is hereby
authorized to execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with any sale
or other disposition of Property to the extent such sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms of Section 9.13 or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents. 

Section 11.10. Arranger. The Arranger shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities under this Agreement. 

  
 90 

 ARTICLE XII 

Miscellaneous 

Section 12.01. Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative 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

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

reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other outside consultants for the Administrative Agent and, in the case of enforcement, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and any of the Lenders); and
promptly reimburse the Administrative Agent for all amounts expended, advanced or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in accordance with this Agreement to satisfy any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any Loan

 (b) TO INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ARRANGER 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

  
 91 

 
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 (I) ANY ACTUAL OR PROPOSED USE BY THE BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OF THE PROCEEDS OF ANY OF THE LOANS OR LETTERS OF CREDIT, (II) THE EXECUTION,
DELIVERY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (III) THE OPERATIONS OF THE BUSINESS OF THE BORROWER AND THE SUBSIDIARIES BY THE BORROWER AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, (IV) THE FAILURE OF THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF ANY LOAN
DOCUMENT, INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT, OR WITH ANY GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENT, (V) 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, (VI) THE ISSUANCE,
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OR TRANSFER OF OR PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO PAY UNDER ANY LETTER OF CREDIT, (VII) THE PAYMENT OF A DRAWING UNDER ANY LETTER OF CREDIT NOTWITHSTANDING THE NON-COMPLIANCE, NON-DELIVERY OR OTHER IMPROPER PRESENTATION OF THE MANUALLY

REASONABLE FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF COUNSEL AND ALL OTHER 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 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR A
LENDER’S SHAREHOLDERS AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE 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 PARTY 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 (I) UNDER ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW APPLICABLE TO THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY OR ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE
TREATMENT OR DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES ON ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES, (II) 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, (III) DUE TO PAST

ADMINISTRATIVE 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).

 (d) No Indemnified Party may settle any claim to be indemnified without the consent of the indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. For purposes of this Section 12.03(d), the parties acknowledge that an indemnitor may not reasonably withhold or delay 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 liability that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party and for which indemnification pursuant to this
Section 12.03 would be required, the amount of such liability to be determined by a nationally recognized defense counsel selected by the Indemnified Party to be substantially likely to be due assuming litigation on the merits of the claim
against the Indemnified Party. 
 (e) In the case of any indemnification hereunder, the Administrative 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. 

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

  
 93

of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and shall continue thereafter in full force and effect.

(a) no amendment, modification or waiver which extends the Termination Date, increases the Borrowing Base, modifies Section 2.03(a), Section 2.08, the definition of “Majority Lenders” or “Required Lenders”, the
definition of “Minimum Collateral Value” or Section 8.09 shall be effective without the consent of all of the Lenders; (b) no amendment, modification or waiver which forgives the principal amount of any Indebtedness under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, releases any Guarantor (except as set forth in the Guarantee Agreement) or releases all or substantially all of the collateral (other than as provided in Section 11.09), reduces the interest rate applicable
to the Loans or the fees payable to the Lenders generally, or modifies this Section 12.04 or Section 12.06(a) shall be effective without consent of all Lenders; (c) no amendment, modification or waiver which modifies
Section 10.02(d) shall be effective without the consent of all the Lenders and Hedge Lenders; (d) no amendment, modification or waiver which increases the Maximum Credit Amount or Elected Commitment of any Lender shall be effective without
the consent of such Lender; (e) no amendment, modification or waiver which modifies the rights, duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank shall be effective without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the
Issuing Bank, as applicable; and (f) any supplement to Schedule 7.13 (Subsidiaries) shall be effective simply by delivering to the Administrative Agent a supplemental schedule clearly marked as such and, upon receipt, the Administrative Agent
will promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Lenders. 
 Section 12.05. 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. 
 Section 12.06.
Assignments and Participations. 
 (a) Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor may assign its rights or obligations hereunder or under
the Notes or any Letters of Credit without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) Any Lender
may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E (an “Assignment”); provided, however, that
(i) after giving effect to any such assignment, both the assignee and the assignor shall have Maximum Credit Amounts of at least $5,000,000 (unless the Borrower shall have consented to a smaller amount) and (ii) the assignee or assignor
shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment. Any such assignment will become effective upon the execution and 

  
 94 

 
delivery to the Administrative Agent of the Assignment and the consent of the Administrative Agent. Promptly after receipt of an executed Assignment under this Section 12.06(b), the
Administrative 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 12.06(b), 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 4.06, 5.01, 5.05 and 12.03 shall not be affected). The Administrative Agent will prepare on the last Business Day of each month during which an assignment has
become effective pursuant to this Section 12.06(b), 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. 

(c) Each Lender may transfer, grant or assign participations in all or any part of such Lender’s interests hereunder pursuant to this
Section 12.06(c) to any Person, provided that: (i) such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the transferee of such participation shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; and
(ii) no participant under any such participation shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of any of the Loan Documents except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (x) forgive any principal owing on any Indebtedness
or extend the final maturity of the Loans, (y) reduce the interest rate or fees applicable to any of the Commitments or the 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 Indebtedness (except as provided in the Loan Documents) or release all or substantially all of the collateral (except as provided in the Loan Documents) supporting any of the Aggregate 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 Article V on the same basis as if it were a Lender and be indemnified under Section 12.03 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 12.15 and shall require each Participant to deliver the documentation required under Section 4.06(f) to the participating Lender. Each
Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a limited fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and
the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or
any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any
Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury

  
 95 

 
Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the
owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) nor any Loan Party shall have any
responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (d) The Lenders may furnish any information concerning the Borrower in the
possession of the Lenders from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants); provided that, such Persons agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of Section 12.15. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.06 to the contrary, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any of its Notes to any
Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve System and/or such Federal Reserve
Bank. No such assignment and/or pledge shall release the assigning and/or pledging Lender from its obligations hereunder. 
 (f)
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 12.06, 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)
The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Maximum Credit Amount and Elected Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice 

Section 12.07. Invalidity. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents or the
Letters of Credit, 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 Loan Document. 
 Section 12.08. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. 

  
 96 

 Section 12.09. References. The words “herein,” “hereof,”
“hereunder” and other words of similar import when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole, and not to any particular article, section or subsection. Any reference herein to a Section shall be deemed to refer to the
applicable Section of this Agreement unless otherwise stated herein. Any reference herein to an exhibit or schedule shall be deemed to refer to the applicable exhibit or schedule attached hereto unless otherwise stated herein. 

Section 12.10. Survival. The obligations of the parties under Section 4.06, Article V, and Sections 11.05 and 12.03 shall
survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Aggregate Commitments. To the extent that any payments on the Indebtedness 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 Indebtedness so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or
proceeds had not been received and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, each
Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrower shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to effect such reinstatement.

DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF A 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 ANOTHER PARTY IN ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION. 
 (d) EACH PARTY HEREBY (I) IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN; (II) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUCH
LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES; (III) CERTIFIES THAT NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF COUNSEL FOR ANY PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, OR IMPLIED THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, AND (IV) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 12.13. 

Section 12.14. 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 

  
 98 

 
follows: (a) 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 Indebtedness (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Indebtedness shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower); and (b) 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 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 Indebtedness (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Indebtedness
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 stated 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. 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 Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 12.14
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 Highest Lawful 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 Highest Lawful 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 12.14. To the extent that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance
Code is relevant for the purpose of determining the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to a Lender, such Lender elects to determine the applicable rate ceiling under such Chapter by the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect. Chapter 346 of the
Texas Finance Code does not apply to the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 
 Section 12.15. Confidentiality. In the event
that the Borrower provides to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders confidential information belonging to the Borrower, if the Borrower shall denominate such information as “confidential”, the Administrative 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 (a) are in the public domain, (b) hereafter become part of the public domain without the Administrative Agent or the Lenders breaching their obligation of confidence to the Borrower, (c) are previously known by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders from some source other than the Borrower, (d) are hereafter developed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders without using the Borrower’s information, (e) are hereafter obtained by or available
to the Administrative Agent or 

  
 99 

 
the Lenders from a third party who owes no obligation of confidence to the Borrower with respect to such information or through any other means other than through disclosure by the Borrower,
(f) are disclosed with the Borrower’s consent, (g) must be disclosed either pursuant to any Governmental Requirement or to Persons regulating the activities of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender in any suit, action or proceeding for the purpose of defending itself, reducing its liability or protecting or exercising any claim, right, remedy or interest under or in connection with the Loan Documents or the Hedging Agreements with
any Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender), or (h) as may be required by law or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority in any judicial, arbitration or governmental proceeding. Further, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may
disclose any such information to any of its Affiliates and the directors, officers, employees, administrators, or managers of such Person and of such Person’s Affiliates. Further, the Administrative Agent or a Lender may disclose any such
information to any other Person engaged by it or other Lender, any independent petroleum engineers or consultants, any independent certified public accountants, any legal counsel employed by such Person in connection with this Agreement or any Loan
Document, including without limitation, the enforcement or exercise of all rights and remedies thereunder, or any assignee or participant (including prospective assignees and participants) in the Loans; provided, however, that the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders shall receive a confidentiality agreement from the Person to whom such information is disclosed such that said Person shall have the same obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information as is imposed upon the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the
lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. 

Section 12.16. EXCULPATION PROVISIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT IT HAS A DUTY TO READ THIS AGREEMENT
AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND AGREES THAT IT IS CHARGED WITH NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; THAT IT HAS IN FACT READ THIS AGREEMENT AND IS FULLY INFORMED AND HAS FULL NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE

TRANSACTION AND RELIEVING THE OTHER PARTY OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH LIABILITY. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY EXCULPATORY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS ON THE BASIS THAT THE PARTY HAD NO NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH PROVISION OR THAT THE PROVISION IS NOT “CONSPICUOUS.”

 Section 12.17. Flood Insurance Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, in no event is any Building (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulation) or Manufactured (Mobile) Home (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulation) included in the
definition of “Mortgaged Property” and no Building or Manufactured (Mobile) Home is hereby encumbered by this Agreement or any other Loan Document. As used herein, “Flood Insurance Regulations” means the National Flood Insurance
Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 and the regulations issued in connection therewith by the Office of the Controller of
the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board and other Governmental Authorities, each as it may be amended, reformed or otherwise modified from time to time. 

Section 12.18. USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of
the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and the Borrower in accordance with the Act. 

Section 12.19. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by this
Agreement, Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any related services in connection therewith (including in
connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and
Administrative Agent and each Lender, on the other hand, and Borrower and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the
other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Administrative Agent and Lenders is and has been acting solely as a
principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) each of the Administrative Agent and
Lenders has neither assumed nor will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of Borrower or any other Loan Party with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with

respective Affiliates on other matters) and each of the Administrative Agent and Lenders has no obligation to Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those
obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower, the
other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and each of the Administrative Agent and Lenders has no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) each of the
Administrative Agent and Lenders will not provide any legal, 

  
 101 

 
accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and
each of Borrower and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each of Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

PARENT MLP IPO TRANSACTIONS 

The following are the general steps by which Black Stone Minerals Company, L.P. (“BSMC”) plans to effect an MLP
IPO (the “IPO”).  
  

			
	Step 1:		BSMC (as sole limited partner) and Black Stone Natural Resources, L.L.C. (“BSNR”) (as sole general partner) have formed Black Stone Minerals, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
“MLP”).
		
			BSMC has made a nominal cash contribution to the MLP (the “Original Cash Contribution”).
		
			The MLP has formed Black Stone Minerals Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Merger Sub”). The Merger Sub will have nominal assets and will not guarantee the bank credit facility, nor
will it pledge its assets to secure the bank credit facility, and will be dissolved or rolled up in connection with IPO.
		
	Step 2:		The MLP will form a new wholly-owned subsidiary to be the general partner of the MLP (the “New GP”). The New GP will not guarantee the bank credit facility, nor will it pledge its assets to secure the bank
credit facility. The equity of New GP owned by the MLP will not be pledged to secure the bank credit facility.
		
			BSMC will make a cash contribution to the MLP, and the MLP will contribute such cash to the New GP.
		
			BSNR will transfer its general partner interest in the MLP to the New GP in exchange for such cash.
		
	Step 3:		The limited liability company agreement of BSNR will be amended to permit BSNR to make a “check-the-box” election to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
		
			The limited partnership agreement of BSMC will be amended to permit BSNR to hold units of BSMC.
		
	Step 4:		BSMC will contribute cash to BSNR in an amount sufficient to allow BSNR to acquire a 1% limited partner interest in BSMC.
		
			BSMC will contribute cash to the MLP, and the MLP will contribute such cash to the New GP, in an amount sufficient to allow the New GP to acquire a 1% limited partner interest in the MLP (the “Returned Cash
Contribution”). 

  
 Schedule 9.24- Page 1

			
		
	Step 5:		BSNR and the New GP will elect to be treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
		
	Step 6:		BSNR will contribute cash to BSMC in exchange for a 1% limited partner interest in BSMC.
		
	Step 7:		The New GP will contribute to the MLP the Returned Cash Contribution in exchange for a 1% limited partner interest in the MLP.
		
	Step 8:		The limited partnership agreement of the MLP will be amended and restated in anticipation of the IPO.
		
			The limited partner interests of BSMC and the New GP in the MLP will be converted into common units of the MLP.
		
			BSMC will merge into the Merger Sub, with BSMC surviving.
		
			In connection with such merger: (i) BSMC will redeem its common units in the MLP for a return of the Original Cash Contribution; (ii) all common units in BSMC (other than Class A common units held by BSNR) will be exchanged for
common units of the MLP at a conversion ratio to be determined; (iii) the preferred units in BSMC will be exchanged for preferred units in the MLP at a conversion ratio of 1:1; (iv) the BSMC Class A common units held by BSNR will remain outstanding;
(v) the New GP will retain its general partner interest in the MLP and its common units in the MLP; (vi) the MLP’s equity interest in the Merger Sub will be converted into common units of BSMC with a value equal to a 99% limited partner
interest in BSMC; and (vii) BSNR will retain its general partner interest in BSMC.
		
			Immediately following the merger, the limited partnership agreement of BSMC will be amended and restated.
		
	Step 9:		The MLP will form a new wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company to be the general partner of BSMC (the “New BSMC GP”). The MLP will remove BSNR as general partner of BSMC and will appoint the New BSMC
GP as general partner of BSMC.
		
			The limited liability company agreement of the New GP will be amended and restated into the form that is desired at the time of the IPO. 

  
 Schedule 9.24- Page 2

			
		
	Step 10:		The MLP will conduct an initial public offering of common units (currently targeting approximately $500 million), which will represent a percentage limited partner interest in the MLP.
		
	Step 11:		The MLP will contribute all of the net proceeds of such initial public offering to BSMC in exchange for an additional limited partner interest in BSMC.
