applicable Law, and each Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership and its Subsidiaries to withhold or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Partner any amount of U.S. federal, state, or local or non-U.S.
taxes that the General Partner determines, in good faith, that the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Partner pursuant to this Agreement. In addition,
if the Partnership is obligated to pay any other amount to a Governmental Entity (or otherwise makes a payment to a Governmental Entity) that is specifically attributable to a Partner (including U.S. federal income taxes as a result of Partnership
obligations pursuant to the Revised Partnership Audit Provisions with respect to items of income, gain, loss deduction or credit allocable or attributable to such Partner, state personal property taxes and state unincorporated business taxes, but
excluding payments such as professional association fees and the like made voluntarily by the Partnership on behalf of any Partner based upon such Partner’s status as an employee of the Partnership), then such tax shall be treated as an amount

Section 5.05 shall be treated as having been distributed to such Partner at the time such withholding or payment is made. Further, to the extent that the cumulative amount of such withholding or payment for any period
exceeds the distributions to which such Partner is entitled for such period, such Partner shall indemnify the Partnership in full for the amount of such excess. The General Partner may offset Distributions to which a Person is otherwise entitled
under this Agreement against such Person’s obligation to indemnify the Partnership under this Section 5.05. A Partner’s obligation to indemnify the Partnership under this Section 5.05
shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Partnership, and for purposes of this Section 5.05, the Partnership shall be treated as continuing in existence. The Partnership may pursue and enforce all rights and
remedies it may have against each Partner under this Section 5.05, including instituting a lawsuit to collect amounts owed under such indemnity with interest accruing from the date such withholding or payment is made by the
Partnership at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by Law). Any income from such indemnity (and interest) shall not be allocated to or distributed to the Partner paying such
indemnity (and interest). Each Partner hereby agrees to furnish to the Partnership such information and forms as required or reasonably requested in order to comply with any laws and regulations governing withholding of tax or in order to claim any
reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding to which the Partner is legally entitled. 

  
 3 

 (b) If a Partner that receives Units in connection with the closing of the Brigham Opco
Merger does not provide an IRS Form W-9 or another certificate of non-foreign status to the Partnership by the date that is two (2) days prior to the date that the
Partnership is required to remit any withholding tax applicable under Section 1445 and Section 1446 of the Code with respect to the transfer of such Units to such Partner in connection with the closing of the Brigham Opco Merger, then
(i) such Partner shall forfeit a number of Units with a value equal to the amount of such required withholding tax (determined by the Partnership in its sole discretion exercised in good faith and with the value of a Unit being equal to the
closing price of a share of Class A Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately prior to Trading Day on which the closing of the Brigham Opco Merger occurred), (ii) the Partnership shall pay to the applicable Governmental Entity an amount
equal to such required withholding tax, and (iii) a number of shares of Class C Common Stock equal to the number of Units so forfeited by such Partner shall be automatically cancelled by the Corporation for no consideration. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Partnership shall not withhold any other amounts under Section 5.05(a) or otherwise with respect to the issuance of Units to a Partner in connection with the closing of the Brigham Opco Merger. 

 

	2.	 Miscellaneous Provisions. Sections 16.09, 16.10, 16.11, 16.12, 16.13 and 16.18 of the
Agreement shall apply to this Amendment, mutatis mutandis.

interpreting such law and any reference to any law, rule or regulation shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law, rule or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, (iii) any reference herein to any Person
shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns (subject to the restrictions contained in the Loan 

  
 52 

 
Documents), (iv) the words “hereto”, “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import when used in any Loan Document, shall be construed to
refer to such Loan Document in its entirety and not to any particular provision thereof, (v) with respect to the determination of any time period, the word “from” means “from and including”, the words “to” and
“until” each mean “to but excluding” and the word “through” means “to and including” and (vi) any reference in a Loan Document to Articles, Sections, Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to
refer to Articles and Sections of, and Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules to, the Loan Document in which such references appear. No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be interpreted or construed against any Person solely
because such Person or its legal representative drafted such provision. 
 Section 1.05 Accounting Terms and Determinations;
GAAP. Unless otherwise specified herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, all determinations with respect to accounting matters hereunder shall be made, and all financial statements and certificates and reports as to
financial matters required to be furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder shall be prepared, in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements except for changes in which the Borrower’s
independent certified public accountants concur and which are disclosed to the Administrative Agent on the next date on which financial statements are required to be delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 8.01(a);
provided that, unless the Borrower and the Majority Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing, no such change shall modify or affect the manner in which compliance with the covenants set forth herein is computed such that all such computations
shall be conducted utilizing financial information presented consistently with prior periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all
computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to (i) any election under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 825 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a
similar result or effect) to value any Debt or other liabilities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein and (ii) any treatment of Debt under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 or 2015-03 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Debt in a reduced or
bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Debt shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof. In the event that any Accounting Change shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of
financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to reflect equitably such Accounting Changes with
the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been
executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Changes had not occurred.

 Section 1.06 Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the
Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to any reference rate referred to herein or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of such
rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any 

  
 53 

 
such rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative

tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or other action or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination, or calculation of any rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source
or service. 
 Section 1.07 Designation and Conversion of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) Unless designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in accordance with Section 1.07(b), any
Person that becomes a Subsidiary of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Effective Date (whether by formation, acquisition, merger or otherwise) shall be classified as a Restricted Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 1.07, during the Specified Unrestricted Period, each of the Brigham Entities shall be classified as an Unrestricted Subsidiary without further action (and for the avoidance of doubt,
without compliance with the requirements under Section 1.07(b)). 
 (b) The Borrower may designate by prior
written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, any Restricted Subsidiary (including a newly formed or newly acquired Subsidiary) as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) both immediately before, and immediately after giving
effect, to such designation, (A) no Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would result from such designation and (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance, on a pro forma basis, with the covenants set forth in
Section 9.01; (ii) such Subsidiary is not a “restricted subsidiary” for purposes of any indenture or other agreement governing Debt for borrowed money of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary; (iii) such
designation shall be deemed to be an Investment in an amount equal to the fair market value of Borrower’s direct and indirect ownership interest in such Subsidiary and such designation shall be permitted only to the extent such Investment is
permitted under Section 9.05(h) or Section 9.05(n) on the date of such designation (without regard to any future fluctuations in value); (iv) such designation shall be deemed to be a Disposition
pursuant to which the provisions of Section 2.07(e) and Section 9.12 shall apply; (v) after giving effect to such designation, such Subsidiary is in compliance with the requirements of
Section 8.18; and (vi) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, certifying as to the satisfaction

true and correct in all respects) as of such date), (iii) the designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be the incurrence at the time of designation of any Investment, Debt, or Liens of such Subsidiary

demonstrating compliance on a pro forma basis with the covenants set forth in Section 9.01). 
 Section 1.08
Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time provided that with respect to any Letter of
Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Agreement related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the available amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum amount of
such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn at such time. 

Section 1.09 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under
Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to
have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity
Interests at such time. 
 ARTICLE II 

THE CREDITS 

Section 2.01 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make Loans to the Borrower
during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (a) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment or (b) the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the
total Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans. 

  
 55 

 Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings. 

(a) Borrowings. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their
respective Commitments. 
 (b) Types of Loans. Subject to Section 3.03, each Borrowing shall be comprised
entirely of ABR Loans or Term SOFR Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that
any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term SOFR Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and
not less than $1,000,000; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an
LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.08(e). Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of seven (7) Term SOFR
Borrowings outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the
Maturity Date. 
 (d) Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a single Note, dated, in the case of
(i) any Lender party hereto as of the date of this Agreement, as of the Effective Date, (ii) any Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, as of the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption, or
(iii) in the case of a Lender that becomes a party hereto in connection with an increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment pursuant to Section 2.06(c), as of the effective date of such increase, payable to such
Lender in a principal amount equal to its Maximum Credit Amount as in effect on such date, and otherwise duly completed. In the event that any Lender’s Maximum Credit Amount increases or decreases for any reason (whether pursuant to
Section 2.06, Section 12.04(b) or otherwise), upon the request of such Lender, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered on the effective date of such increase or decrease,
a new Note payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to its Maximum Credit Amount after giving effect to such increase or decrease, and otherwise duly completed and such Lender shall promptly return to the Borrower the previously issued
Note held by such Lender. The date, amount, Type, interest rate and, if applicable, Interest Period of each Loan made by each Lender, and all payments made on account of the principal thereof, may be recorded by such Lender on its books for its
Note, and, prior to any transfer, may be endorsed by such Lender on a schedule attached to such Note or any continuation thereof or on any separate record maintained by such Lender. 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. 

  
 56 

 (e) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans, to
fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 12.03(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under
Section 12.03(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its
Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 12.03(c). 
 Section 2.03
Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone or electronic communication (a) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Houston,
Texas time, two Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing (or, with respect to the initial Borrowing on the Effective Date, such lesser period of time as approved by the Administrative Agent) or (b) in the case of an ABR
Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Houston, Texas time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that no such notice shall be required for any deemed request of an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as
provided in Section 2.08(e). Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic communication to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing
Request and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower; provided that, subject to Section 5.02, the Borrower may condition a Borrowing Request on the consummation of an acquisition, Investment or other
identifiable event or condition and any such Borrowing Request may be revoked by the Borrower if such acquisition or Investment is not consummated, or such event or condition does not occur, on the date specified in the applicable Borrowing Request.
Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(a) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 

(b) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(c) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing; 

(d) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the
definition of the term “Interest Period”; 
 (e) the amount of the then effective Borrowing Base, the amount of the
then effective Aggregate Elected Commitment, the current total Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to the requested Borrowing) and the pro forma total Revolving Credit Exposures (giving effect to the requested Borrowing); and 

(f) the location and number of the Borrower’s account (or another account as directed by the Borrower) to which funds are to be
disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.05. 

  
 57 

 If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR
Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term SOFR Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Each Borrowing Request shall constitute a
representation that (a) the amount of the requested Borrowing shall not cause the total Revolving Credit Exposures to exceed the total Commitments (i.e., the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts, (B) the Aggregate
Elected Commitment and (C) the then effective Borrowing Base) and (b) after giving pro forma effect to the requested Borrowing, no Excess Cash exists. 

Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each
Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 

Section 2.04 Interest Elections. 

(a) Conversion and Continuance. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the
case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term
SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.04. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such
portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 

(b) Interest Election Requests. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Borrower shall notify
the Administrative Agent of such election by delivering a written Interest Election Request signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under
Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and
shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic communication to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. 

(c) Information in Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies
and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to
Section 2.04(c)(iii) and (iv) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective
date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting
Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing; and 

  
 58 

 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Term SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Notice to Lenders by the Administrative Agent. Promptly following
receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e) Effect of Failure to Deliver Timely Interest Election Request and Events of Default and Borrowing Base Deficiencies on Interest
Election. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end
of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted on such date to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if a Borrowing Base Deficiency or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Majority Lenders
have elected in writing to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to not allow such conversions or continuations: (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term SOFR Borrowing (and any Interest Election Request that
requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term SOFR Borrowing shall be ineffective) and (ii) unless repaid, each Term SOFR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto. 
 Section 2.05 Funding of Borrowings. 

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the
Borrower by promptly delivering or crediting (as applicable) the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower, subject to, after the Control Agreement Delivery Date, a Control Agreement, and designated by the Borrower in the
applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.08(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank. Nothing
herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for its Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for its Loan in any particular place or
manner. 
 (b) Presumption of Funding by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior
to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with Section 2.05(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made

  
 59 

 
its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in
the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily
charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute
such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount
of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. A notice of
the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by
such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable credit extension set forth in Article IV
are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 

Section 2.06 Termination, Revision and Reduction of Commitments and Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts; Increase, Reduction and
Termination of Aggregate Elected Commitment. 
 (a) Scheduled Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the
Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. If at any time the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount, the Aggregate Elected Commitment or the Borrowing Base is terminated or reduced to zero, then the Commitments shall terminate on the effective date
of such termination or reduction. 
 (b) Optional Termination and Reduction of Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts. 

(i) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts; provided that
(A) each reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (B) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts
if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 3.04(c)(i), the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments. 

  
 60 

 (ii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or
reduce the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts under Section 2.06(b)(i) 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 2.06(b)(ii) shall be
irrevocable; provided that such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more specified events (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by
notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such specified event(s) do not occur. Any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts shall be permanent and may not be reinstated. Each
reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(ii) shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage. 

(c) Increase, Reduction and Termination of Aggregate Elected Commitment. 

(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.06(c)(ii) and the prior written approval of the Administrative
Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Borrower may increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment then in effect by increasing the Elected Commitment of a Lender and/or by causing a Person that at such time is not a Lender
to become a Lender (any such Person that is not at such time a Lender and becomes a Lender, an “Additional Lender”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no case shall an Additional Lender
be a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of one or more natural persons), the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower. 

(ii) Any increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) Any increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment shall first be offered to each of the Lenders, who shall have until the earlier of
(1) five (5) Business Days from the date of such offer and (2) the first date on which all Lenders have declined to increase their Elected Commitments, to elect to increase their applicable Elected Commitment and, if a Lender elects to
increase its Elected Commitment during such period, the Borrower and such Lender shall execute and deliver an Elected Commitment Increase Certificate (as defined below), before the Borrower may elect to cause an Additional Lender to become a Lender;

 (B) such increase shall not be less than $5,000,000 or, if less, the amount by which the Borrowing Base exceeds the Aggregate Elected
Commitment prior to giving effect to such increase, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, and no such increase shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto (A) the Aggregate Elected Commitment exceeds the Borrowing Base then
in effect or (B) prior to the 2026 Senior Notes Discharge, the Aggregate Elected Commitment exceeds $600,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence in form and substance satisfactory to it that such increase is
permitted under the 2026 Senior Notes Documents; 

  
 61 

 (C) following any Scheduled Redetermination, the Borrower may not increase the Aggregate
Elected Commitment more than twice before the next Scheduled Redetermination, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (for the sake of clarity, all increases in the Aggregate Elected Commitment effective on a single date shall be deemed a
single increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment for purposes of this Section 2.06(c)(ii)(C)); 
 (D) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the effective date of such increase; 
 (E) no Lender’s Elected
Commitment may be increased without the consent of such Lender; 
 (F) on the effective date of such increase, no Term SOFR Borrowings
shall be outstanding or if any Term SOFR Borrowings are outstanding, then the effective date of such increase shall be the last day of the Interest Period in respect of such Term SOFR Borrowings unless the Borrower pays compensation required by
Section 5.02 or such compensation is waived by each Lender affected thereby; 
 (G) if the Aggregate Elected
Commitment is increased by increasing the Elected Commitment of a Lender, the Borrower and such Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I (an “Elected
Commitment Increase Certificate”); 
 (H) after the expiration of the time period set forth in clause (A) above, if the
Borrower elects to increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment by causing an Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement, then the Borrower and such Additional Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit J (an “Additional Lender Certificate”), together with an Administrative Questionnaire and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (provided that the Administrative Agent
may, in its discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in connection with any such increase), and the Borrower shall (1) if requested by the 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 and the Additional Lender, and, to the extent applicable and agreed to by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent; 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(iv), from
and after the effective date specified in the Elected Commitment Increase Certificate or the Additional Lender Certificate: (A) the amount of the Aggregate Elected Commitment 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 purchase a pro rata portion of the outstanding Loans 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 Applicable Percentage of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests) after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment (and the resulting modifications of each
Lender’s Maximum Credit Amount pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(iv) or Section 2.06(c)(v)). 

  
 62 

 (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 2.06(c)(ii), and, if
required, the Administrative Questionnaire referred to in Section 2.06(c)(ii), 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 12.04(b)(iv). No increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement
unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 2.06(c)(iv). 
 (v) Upon any increase in
the Aggregate Elected Commitment pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(iv), (A) each Lender’s Maximum Credit Amounts 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 represented by such Lender’s Elected Commitment, in each case after giving effect to such increase, and (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’
Applicable Percentages. 
 (vi) The Borrower may from time to time terminate or reduce the Aggregate Elected Commitment; provided that
(A) each reduction of the Aggregate Elected Commitment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (B) the Borrower shall not reduce the Aggregate Elected Commitment if, after giving
effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 3.04(c), the total Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders would exceed the Aggregate Elected Commitment as reduced. 

(vii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Aggregate Elected Commitment under
Section 2.06(c)(vi) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or such lesser period as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), 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 2.06(c)(vii) shall be irrevocable; provided that such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more specified events (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which
case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such specified event(s) do not occur. Any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Elected Commitment shall be
permanent and may not be reinstated, except pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(i). Each reduction of the Aggregate Elected Commitment shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable
Percentage. 

  
 63 

 (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, the Aggregate Elected Commitment shall be automatically reduced (ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s
Applicable Percentage) so that they equal 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). 

(ix) Contemporaneously with any increase in the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Agreement, if (A) the Borrower elects to increase the
Aggregate Elected Commitment and (B) each Lender has consented to such increase in its Elected Commitment, then the Aggregate Elected Commitment shall be increased (ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable
Percentage) by the amount requested by the Borrower without the requirement that any Lender deliver an Elected Commitment Increase Certificate or that the Borrower pay any amounts under Section 5.02, and Annex I
shall be deemed amended to reflect such amendments to each Lender’s Elected Commitment and the Aggregate Elected Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall record the information regarding such increases in the Register required to be
maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.04(b)(iv). 
 (x) If, after giving effect to any
reduction in the Aggregate Elected Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.06(c), the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceed the as reduced Aggregate Elected Commitment, then the Borrower shall (A) prepay the Borrowings
on the date of such termination or reduction in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and (B) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, transfer to the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as cash collateral as provided in Section 2.08(j). 

Section 2.07 Borrowing Base. 

(a) Borrowing Base. For the period from and including the Effective Date until the first Redetermination Date, the amount of the
Borrowing Base shall be $300,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowing Base may be subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to Section 2.07(e), Section 2.07(f) or
Section 8.13(c). 
 (b) Scheduled and Interim Redeterminations. The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined
semi-annually in accordance with this Section 2.07 (each such redetermination, a “Scheduled Redetermination”), and, subject to Section 2.07(d), such redetermined Borrowing
Base shall become effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders on April 1st and October 1st of each year (or, in each case, such date promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable), commencing
October 1, 2022. In addition, (i) the Borrower may, by notifying the Administrative Agent thereof, one time between successive Scheduled Redeterminations (including prior to the first Scheduled Redetermination), elect to cause the
Borrowing Base to be redetermined, (ii) after the first Scheduled Redetermination, the Administrative Agent may, at the direction of the Required Lenders, by notifying the Borrower thereof, one time between successive Scheduled
Redeterminations, elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined, and (iii) the Borrower may, by notifying the Administrative Agent of any acquisition of Oil and Gas Properties by the Loan Parties with a purchase price in the aggregate of
at least five percent (5%) of the then effective Borrowing Base, elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined (in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (ii), an “Interim
Redetermination”), in each case in accordance with this Section 2.07. 

  
 64 

 (c) Scheduled and Interim Redetermination Procedure. 

(i) Each Scheduled Redetermination and each Interim Redetermination shall be effectuated as follows: upon receipt by the Administrative Agent
of (A) the Reserve Report and the certificate required to be delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c), and, in the
case of an Interim Redetermination, pursuant to Section 8.12(b) and (c), and (B) such other reports, data and supplemental information, including, without limitation, the information provided pursuant to
Section 8.12(c), as may, from time to time, be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Majority 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 its sole discretion, 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 deems appropriate in its sole discretion and consistent with its normal oil and gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time. In no event shall the Proposed Borrowing Base exceed the Aggregate
Maximum Credit Amounts. 
 (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 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on or before March 15th and September
15th of such year following the date of delivery or (2) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.12(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 2.07(c)(i); and 
 (B) in the case of an Interim Redetermination, promptly, and in any event, within
fifteen (15) days after the Administrative Agent has received the required Engineering Reports. 
 (iii) Subject to
Section 12.02(b)(ii) with respect to any Defaulting Lender, any Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved by all of the Lenders (in each Lender’s sole discretion) as
provided in this Section 2.07(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 (in each
Lender’s sole discretion) as provided in this Section 2.07(c)(iii). Upon 

  
 65 

 
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. All decisions regarding the Borrowing Base hereunder shall be made by each Lender in its sole discretion as such Lender deems appropriate and consistent with its normal oil and gas lending criteria as it exists at the
particular time. 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 (A) in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base
that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, a disapproval of the Proposed Borrowing Base and (B) in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect, 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 2.07(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 been deemed to have
approved the Proposed Borrowing Base, then the Administrative Agent shall poll the Lenders to ascertain the highest Borrowing Base then acceptable to (x) in the case of a decrease or reaffirmation, a number of Lenders sufficient to constitute
the Required Lenders or (y) in the case of an increase, all of the Lenders, and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in Section 2.07(d). 

(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 2.07(c)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the amount of the redetermined Borrowing Base (the
“New Borrowing Base Notice”), and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing 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 Sections 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on the April 1st or October 1st, as applicable, following such notice, or (B) if the Administrative Agent shall not have
received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice; and 

(ii) in the case of an Interim Redetermination, on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such New Borrowing Base Notice (or such date
as the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower may otherwise agree to). 
 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 2.07(e), Section 2.07(f) or
Section 8.13(c), whichever occurs first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Scheduled Redetermination or Interim Redetermination shall become effective until the New Borrowing Base Notice related thereto is received by the
Borrower. 

  
 66 

 (e) Reduction of Borrowing Base Related to Dispositions of Borrowing Base Properties
and/or Liquidation of Swap Agreements. If (i) any Swap Agreement to which any Loan Party is a party is Liquidated or (ii) any Loan Party Disposes of any Borrowing Base Property or Equity Interests in any Loan Party owning Borrowing
Base Properties, and the Borrowing Base value assigned to the Liquidated portion of such Swap Agreement (after giving effect to any other Swap Agreements executed by the Borrower or any Guarantor contemporaneously with the Liquidation of such Swap
Agreements or subsequent to the most recent Scheduled Redetermination Date) or the Borrowing Base value of such Borrowing Base Property (or in the case of any Disposition of Equity Interests in any Loan Party owning Borrowing Base Properties, the
Borrowing Base value of the Borrowing Base Properties owned by such Loan Party), as applicable, in each case as determined by the Administrative Agent, when combined with the sum of (A) the Borrowing Base value of all other Borrowing Base
Properties Disposed of (including, in the case of any Disposition of Equity Interests in any Loan Party owning Borrowing Base Properties, the Borrowing Base value of such Borrowing Base Properties owned by such Loan Party), in each case since the
most recent Scheduled Redetermination Date and (B) the Borrowing Base value of the Liquidated portion of other Swap Agreements Liquidated since the most recent Scheduled Redetermination Date, exceeds seven and one half percent (7.5%) of the
Borrowing Base as then in effect (as determined by the Administrative Agent), individually or in the aggregate, then the Borrowing Base then in effect shall be reduced by an amount equal to the value, if any, assigned to the Liquidated portion of
such Swap Agreement in the then effective Borrowing Base and/or the value assigned to such Disposed Borrowing Base Property in the most recently delivered Reserve Report, as the case may be, in each case as determined by the Administrative Agent.
The Borrowing Base as so reduced shall become the new Borrowing Base immediately upon the date of such Disposition or Liquidation, as the case may be, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders on such date until the next redetermination or adjustment thereof hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.07(e), until the first Scheduled Redetermination Date occurs hereunder, the phrase “the most recent
Scheduled Redetermination Date” shall mean “the Effective Date”. 
 (f) Reduction of Borrowing Base Upon Incurrence of
Permitted Additional Debt. If the Loan Parties incur any Permitted Additional Debt in accordance with Section 9.02(g) (other than (i) any Permitted Additional Debt incurred to refinance then-outstanding Permitted
Additional Debt, but, solely in the case of this clause (i), only to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of new Permitted Additional Debt incurred to refinance such outstanding Permitted Additional Debt does not result in an
increase in the principal amount of Permitted Additional Debt outstanding, except (x) in respect of an increase in the principal amount as a result of customary fees and expenses related to the refinancing of such outstanding Permitted
Additional Debt and (y) as otherwise permitted under clause (ii), and (ii) an aggregate principal amount of Permitted Additional Debt consisting entirely of the 2026 Senior Notes incurred on or substantially contemporaneously with
the Third Amendment Effective Date but, in any event, no later than the first Business Day immediately following the Third Amendment Effective Date, of up to $450,000,000, minus the aggregate principal amount of Permitted Additional Debt then
outstanding that was incurred to refinance the Bridge Loan Debt, so long as, solely in the case of this clause (ii), (x) such Permitted Additional Debt is incurred on or before the Scheduled Redetermination of the Borrowing Base scheduled for
on or about October 1, 2022 becomes effective in accordance with Section 2.07(d) and (y) to the extent any Bridge Loan Debt is then outstanding, the net proceeds of such Permitted Additional Debt are used to
refinance one hundred 

  
 67 

 
percent (100%) of the Bridge Loan Debt), unless the Borrower and the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree, the Borrowing Base then in effect shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product
of 0.25 multiplied by the stated principal amount of such Permitted Additional Debt (for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to any original issue discount). The Borrowing Base as so reduced shall become the new Borrowing Base immediately upon
the date of such incurrence, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders on such date until the next redetermination or adjustment thereof hereunder. 

Section 2.08 Letters of Credit. 

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of dollar denominated Letters
of Credit as the applicant thereof for the support of its or any Guarantor’s obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the period from and including
the Effective Date until the day which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date; provided that the Borrower may not request the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of Letters of Credit hereunder if a Borrowing Base
Deficiency exists at such time or would exist as a result thereof. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement
submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. All letters of credit issued pursuant to the Existing Credit
Agreement are deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Effective Date, shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or
extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative
Agent (not less than three (3) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice: 

(i) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed, reinstated or extended; 

(ii) specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, reinstatement or extension (which shall be a Business Day); 

(iii) specifying the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.08(c));

 (iv) specifying the amount of such Letter of Credit; 

(v) specifying the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, reinstate or extend such Letter of Credit; and 

  
 68 

 (vi) specifying the amount of the then effective Borrowing Base and the then effective
Aggregate Elected Commitment and whether a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists at such time, the current total Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to the requested Letter of Credit or the requested amendment, renewal or extension of an
outstanding Letter of Credit) and the pro forma total Revolving Credit Exposures (giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit or the requested amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit). 

A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed, reinstated or extended only if (and each notice shall constitute a representation and
warranty by the Borrower that), after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment, renewal, reinstatement or extension, as applicable, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Commitment, (ii) no Lender’s Revolving Credit
Exposure shall exceed its Commitment and (iii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Commitments (i.e., the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts, (B) the Aggregate Elected Commitment and
(C) the then effective Borrowing Base). 
 If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit
application and reimbursement agreement on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit; provided that, in the event of any conflict between such application and the terms of this Agreement, the
terms of this Agreement shall control. 
 The Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any
order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of
Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date,
or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Effective Date and that the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate
one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally, (iii) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000 or
(iv) if any Lender is at the time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to
eliminate the Issuing Bank’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 4.03(c)(iii)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued
or that Letter of Credit and all other obligations in respect of Letters of Credit as to which the Issuing Bank has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. 

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date twelve
months (or such later date as may be requested by the Borrower and agreed to by the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion) after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, twelve months (or
such later date as may be requested by the Borrower and agreed to by the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion) after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (or such later date as
consented to by the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion and provided that such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped in such amounts and pursuant to such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Issuing Bank in its
sole discretion). 

  
 69 

 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in
such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided
in Section 2.08(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason, including after the Maturity Date. Each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or
reduction whatsoever. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.08(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default, the existence of a Borrowing Base Deficiency or reduction or termination of the
Commitments. 
 (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower
shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, Houston, Texas time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received
notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Houston, Texas time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, Houston, Texas time, on (i) the
Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., Houston, Texas time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if
such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower shall, subject to the conditions to Borrowing set forth herein, be deemed to have requested, and the Borrower does hereby request under such
circumstances, that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing. If the
Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.
Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect
to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by
it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08(e), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or,
to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.08(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to
this Section 2.08(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse such LC Disbursement. 

  
 70 

 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in Section 2.08(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other
document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit Agreement, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of
this Section 2.08(f), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor
any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the
circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document
required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed
to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted
by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto
expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised all requisite care in
each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter
of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make
payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (g) Disbursement
Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or electronic communication) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such
notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 

  
 71 

 (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, until
the Borrower shall have reimbursed the Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement (either with its own funds or a Borrowing under Section 2.08(e)), the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including
the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.08(h) shall
be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such
Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) Replacement and Resignation of the Issuing Bank. 

(i) The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank
and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of
the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.05(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (A) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (B) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor
and all previous Issuing Bank, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank
under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend any existing Letter of Credit. 

(ii) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank may resign as the Issuing Bank at any time upon
thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower), in which case, the resigning
Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.08(i)(i). 
 (j) Cash Collateralization. If
(i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders demanding that the Borrower cash collateralize, or otherwise backstop in such amounts and pursuant to
such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, the outstanding LC Exposure, (ii) the Borrower is required to cash collateralize, or backstop in such amounts and pursuant to such arrangements as are
satisfactory to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(c)(i), Section 3.04(c)(ii),
Section 3.04(c)(iii) or Section 3.04(c)(vi) or (iii) the Borrower is required to cash collateralize, or otherwise backstop in such amounts and pursuant to such arrangements as are satisfactory to
the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, a Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(iii)(B), then the Borrower shall either (x) pledge 

  
 72 

 
and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent (as a first priority, perfected security interest), for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, at a location and pursuant to documentation in
form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, an amount in cash in dollars equal to 102% of such LC Exposure or excess attributable to such LC Exposure, as the case may be, as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon
or (y) or otherwise backstop such LC Exposure or excess attributable to such LC Exposure, as the case may be, in such amounts and pursuant to such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion; provided that
the obligation to deposit such cash collateral or otherwise backstop shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default described in Section 10.01(h) or Section 10.01(i). The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, an exclusive first priority and continuing
perfected security interest in and Lien on such account and all cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time deposited or held in such account, all deposits or wire transfers made thereto, any and all investments
purchased with funds deposited in such account, all interest, dividends, cash, instruments, financial assets and other Property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise payable in respect of, or in exchange for, any or all of the
foregoing, and all proceeds, products, accessions, rents, profits, income and benefits therefrom, and any substitutions and replacements therefor. The Borrower’s obligation to deposit amounts, or otherwise backstop in such amounts and pursuant
to such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, pursuant to this Section 2.08(j), shall be absolute and unconditional, without regard to whether any beneficiary of any 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 or any Subsidiary 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 deposit (if applicable) shall be held as collateral securing the payment and performance of the Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, and
without limiting the foregoing or Section 2.08(c), if any LC Exposure remain outstanding after the expiration date specified in Section 2.08(c), the Borrower shall either immediately
(x) deposit into such account an amount in cash equal to 102% of such LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon or (y) otherwise backstop in such amounts and pursuant to such arrangements as are satisfactory
to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account, except that the Administrative Agent shall not invest any funds
maintained in such account without the Borrower’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at
the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account
shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the
Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If the Borrower is
required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder or 

  
 73 

 
otherwise backstop as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(iii)(B) as a result of a Defaulting Lender, and the Borrower is
not otherwise required to cash collateralize or otherwise backstop the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(c), then such amount (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or the events giving rise to such cash collateralization or backstopping pursuant to
Section 4.03(c)(iii)(B) have been satisfied or resolved. 
 (k) Letters of Credit Issued for Account of
Guarantors. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Guarantor, or states that a Guarantor is the “account party,” “applicant,”
“customer,” “instructing party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Guarantor in
respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been
issued solely for the account of the Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Guarantor in respect of such Letter of
Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for its Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses
of such Guarantors. 
 (l) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower when
a Letter of Credit is issued by it, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall
not be responsible to the Borrower for, and the Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the Issuing Bank required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is
required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the law or any order of a jurisdiction where the Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the
decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking
Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice. 
 ARTICLE III 

PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; PREPAYMENTS; FEES 

Section 3.01 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Termination Date. 

  
 74 

 Section 3.02 Interest. 

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, but
in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 
 (b) Term SOFR Loans. The Loans comprising each Term SOFR Borrowing shall bear
interest at Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 

(c) Post-Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if an Event of Default under Section 10.01(h)
or (i) has occurred and is continuing, (ii) if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document is not paid when due, whether at
stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and to the extent that such failure to pay constitutes an Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or (b), or (iii) at the election of the Majority Lenders, if an
Event of Default (other than with respect to Section 10.01(a), (b), (h) or (i)) has occurred and is continuing, then all Loans outstanding (in the case of clauses (i) and (iii)), and
such overdue amount (in the case of clause (ii)), shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.02, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 
 (d) Interest Payment
Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on the Termination Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.02(c) shall
be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than an optional prepayment of an ABR 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, and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such
conversion. 
 (e) Interest Rate Computations. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless
such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the
Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and shall be binding upon the parties hereto. 

(f) Term SOFR Conforming Changes. With respect to SOFR or Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming
Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly
after such amendment becomes effective. 

  
 75 

 Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. 

(a) Temporary Unavailability of Term SOFR. If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion of ABR Loans to Term
SOFR Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with
Section 3.03(b), and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 3.03(b) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise
exist for determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed ABR Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders determine that for any
reason the Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each
Lender. 
 Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Term SOFR
Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, the
utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Majority Lenders described in clause (ii) of this
Section 3.03(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. 

Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, or continuation of
Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any
outstanding Term SOFR, Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to ABR Loans immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period. 

(b) Replacement of Term SOFR or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents,
if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Majority Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that
the Borrower or the Majority Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that: 
 (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary;
or 
 (ii) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the
Administrative Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month, three month and

  
 76 

 
six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar
denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such
interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR, Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the
“Scheduled Unavailability Date”); 
 then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the
“Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above,
no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the
Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Successor Rate”). 

If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the
Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (y) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.03(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 3.03 at the end of any Interest Period,
relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities
syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S.
dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from
time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments. shall constitute a “Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at
5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Administrative
Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment. 
 The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the
Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate. 

  
 77 

 Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that
to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. 

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than the Floor, the Successor Rate will be
deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the
Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective
without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the
Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective. 
 For purposes of this Section 3.03, those
Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, the relevant Loans in Dollars shall be excluded from any determination of Majority Lenders. 

Section 3.04 Prepayments. 

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay, without premium or penalty
(except with respect to any amounts due under Section 5.02), any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 3.04(b). 

(b) Notice and Terms of Optional Prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or
electronic communication) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Term SOFR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Houston, Texas time, two Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of
prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Houston, Texas time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or email to the Administrative Agent of a written notice of prepayment signed by
a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given
in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.06(b), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with
Section 2.06(b); provided further, that, subject to Section 5.02, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a
material part of the Obligations, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents
thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be
applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02 and any payments to the extent required by
Section 5.02. 

  
 78 

 (c) Mandatory Prepayments. 

(i) If, after giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts pursuant to
Section 2.06(b), the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the total Commitments, then the Borrower shall (A) prepay the Borrowings on the date of such termination or reduction in an aggregate principal amount equal
to such excess, and (B) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, cash collateralize or otherwise backstop such excess as provided in Section 2.08(j). 

(ii) Upon any redetermination or adjustment to the amount of the Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.07
(other than pursuant to Section 2.07(e) or Section 2.07(f)) or Section 8.13(c), if the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the redetermined or adjusted Borrowing
Base, then after receiving a New Borrowing Base Notice in accordance with Section 2.07(d) or a notice of adjustment pursuant to Section 8.13(c), as the case may be (the date of receipt of any such
notice, the “Deficiency Notification Date”), the Borrower shall (i) deliver, within 10 Business Days after the Deficiency Notification Date, written notice to the Administrative Agent indicating the Borrower’s
election to: (A) prepay the Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Borrowing Base Deficiency (and to the extent that any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, cash collateralize
or otherwise backstop such excess as provided in Section 2.08(j)) on or before the 30th day following the Deficiency Notification Date; (B) prepay the Borrowings in six consecutive equal monthly installments, the first
installment being due and payable on the 30th day following the Deficiency Notification Date and each subsequent installment being due and payable on the same day in each of the subsequent calendar months, with each payment being equal to one-sixth (1/6th) of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, so that such Borrowing Base Deficiency is reduced to zero on or before such sixth prepayment date; (C) identify, within thirty (30) days following the
Deficiency Notification Date, to the Administrative Agent additional Oil and Gas Properties with Borrowing Base value acceptable to the Required Lenders in their sole discretion not evaluated in the most recently delivered Reserve Report sufficient
to cure the Borrowing Base Deficiency and, to the extent the mortgage requirement set forth in Section 8.14(a) has not been complied with on a pro forma basis including such additional Oil and Gas Properties, grant
to the Administrative Agent a first-priority Lien (subject to Excepted Liens) on such additional Oil and Gas Properties sufficient to satisfy such requirement on a pro forma basis; provided that in no event may the Borrower elect the
option specified in this clause (C) if fewer than ninety (90) days remain until the Maturity Date; or (D) combine the options provided in clauses (A), (B) and/or (C) above, and also indicating the
amount to be prepaid and the amount to be provided as additional Collateral, and (ii) make such payment and deliver such additional Collateral within the time required under clauses (A), (B) and/or (C) above;
provided that, notwithstanding the options set forth above, (x) in all cases, the Borrowing Base Deficiency must be eliminated on or prior to the Termination Date, (y) after making an election described above, with the consent of
the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may make additional payments or identify additional Oil and Gas Properties (as contemplated by clause (C) without regard to the timeframe set forth therein) in order to accelerate the cure of the
Borrowing Base Deficiency and (z) if the Borrowing Base Deficiency is reduced to zero through any combination of the options set forth herein or through a subsequent Borrowing Base increase, the Borrower’s obligations to cure the
previously existing Borrowing Base Deficiency shall cease and the Borrower shall have no obligation to make additional scheduled prepayments in respect of such Borrowing Base Deficiency. The Borrower shall provide to the

  
 79 

 
Administrative Agent, within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of the New Borrowing Base Notice in accordance with Section 2.07(d) or the date the
adjustment occurs pursuant to Section 8.13(c), as applicable, an irrevocable written notice indicating which of the options specified in clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D) the Borrower elects to
take in order to eliminate the Borrowing Base Deficiency. Such notice shall be irrevocable and, in the event the Borrower fails to provide such written notice to the Administrative Agent within the ten (10) Business Day period referred to
above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have irrevocably elected the option set forth in clause (B) above. The failure of the Borrower to comply with any of the options elected (including any deemed election) pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 3.04(c)(ii) and specified in such notice (or relating to such deemed election) shall constitute an Event of Default. 

(iii) Upon any adjustment to the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.07(e) or
Section 2.07(f), if the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the Borrowing Base as adjusted, then the Borrower shall (A) prepay the Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and (B) if
any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, cash collateralize or otherwise backstop such excess as provided in Section 2.08(j). The Borrower shall be obligated to make such
prepayment and/or cash collateralize or otherwise backstop such excess on the date the adjustment occurs; provided that all payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.04(c)(iii) must be made on or prior
to the Termination Date. 
 (iv) Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing of an alternate application to the
Borrowings then outstanding, each prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall be applied, first, ratably to any ABR Borrowings then outstanding, and, second, to any Term SOFR Borrowings then outstanding,
and if more than one Term SOFR Borrowing is then outstanding, to each such Term SOFR Borrowing in order of priority beginning with the Term SOFR Borrowing with the least number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto and ending
with the Term SOFR Borrowing with the most number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 (v) Each prepayment of
Borrowings pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowings. Prepayments pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall be accompanied by accrued
interest to the extent required by Section 3.02. 
 (vi) Mandatory Prepayment with Excess Cash. If, as of
the last day of any calendar month (whether or not such day is a Business Day) (the “Excess Cash Test Date”), the Loan Parties have Excess Cash as of the end of such Excess Cash Test Date (whether or not such Excess Cash Test
Date is a Business Day), the Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days of such Excess Cash Test Date, prepay Borrowings in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such Excess Cash as of the end of such Excess Cash Test Date
(whether or not such Excess Cash Test Date is a Business Day) and (ii) the amount of Borrowings as of the end of such Excess Cash Test Date (whether or not such Excess Cash Test Date is a Business Day); provided that if any such Excess
Cash remains after such Borrowings are fully prepaid, the Borrower shall apply such remaining Excess Cash to cash collateralize or otherwise backstop any LC Exposure with such remaining Excess Cash as provided in
Section 2.08(j). 

  
 80 

 (vii) Mandatory Prepayment with Net Casualty Event Proceeds. Prior to the 2026
Senior Notes Discharge, upon receipt by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates of any Net Casualty Event Proceeds in excess of $25,000,000 for any individual Casualty Event or series of related Casualty Events or $100,000,000 in the aggregate, then
the Borrower shall apply an amount of such Net Casualty Event Proceeds as set forth in Section 3.04(c)(vii)(A), Section 3.04(c)(vii)(B), Section 3.04(c)(vii)(C) or any
combination thereof within five (5) Business Days after the date of receipt of such Net Casualty Event Proceeds (or with respect to Section 3.04(c)(vii)(C), such other timeframe specified in
Section 3.04(c)(vii)(C)): 
 (A) prior to any application of any such Net Casualty Event Proceeds as set forth in
Section 3.04(c)(vii)(B), prepay the Borrowings in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Casualty Event Proceeds and (2) the then outstanding Borrowings; provided that if
any Net Casualty Event Proceeds remain after the Borrowings are fully prepaid, the Borrower shall apply such remaining Net Casualty Event Proceeds to cash collateralize or otherwise backstop any LC Exposure with such remaining Net Casualty Event
Proceeds to the extent required by, and in accordance with, Section 2.08(j); 
 (B) to the extent any Net
Casualty Event Proceeds remain after application as set forth in Section 3.04(c)(vii)(A), offer to prepay the 2026 Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Casualty Event
Proceeds; and/or 
 (C) so long as (1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) on a pro
forma basis (including after giving effect to the applicable Casualty Event and/or any reinvestment of such Net Casualty Event Proceeds) the Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 (as the Leverage Ratio is recomputed on such date
using (x) Total Net Debt outstanding on such date and (y) EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters (or, if applicable, the relevant annualized period determined in accordance with the definition thereof) ending on the last day of the fiscal
quarter immediately preceding such date for which financial statements are available), reinvest such Net Casualty Event Proceeds in Oil and Gas Properties (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the acquisition of Oil and Gas Properties);
provided that promptly following any determination by the Loan Parties of an election to invest Net Casualty Event Proceeds pursuant to this Section 3.04(c)(vii)(C), the Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days
after the receipt of such Net Casualty Event Proceeds, deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower specifying that the Borrower intends to reinvest such Net Casualty Event Proceeds; provided
further that if any such Net Casualty Event Proceeds are not reinvested within the 365-day period or 545-day period, as applicable, referenced in the definition
of Net Casualty Event Proceeds, the Borrower shall be required to apply such Net Casualty Event Proceeds first, as set forth in Section 3.04(c)(vii)(A) and, to the extent any Net Casualty Event Proceeds remain after
application as set forth in Section 3.04(c)(vii)(A), as set forth in Section 3.04(c)(vii)(B). 

  
 81 

 (viii) Mandatory Prepayment upon Issuance of Debt. Prior to the 2026 Senior Notes
Discharge, upon receipt by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries of any cash proceeds from the incurrence of any Debt (other than Debt that is permitted hereunder) by such Person, the Borrower shall such proceeds as set forth
in Section 3.04(c)(viii)(A), Section 3.04(c)(viii)(B) or any combination thereof: 
 (A)
prior to any application of any such proceeds as set forth in Section 3.04(c)(viii)(B), prepay the Borrowings in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) one hundred percent (100%) of such proceeds and (2) the then
outstanding Borrowings; provided that if any such proceeds remain after the Borrowings are fully prepaid, the Borrower shall apply such remaining proceeds to cash collateralize or otherwise backstop any LC Exposure with such remaining
proceeds to the extent required by, and in accordance with, Section 2.08(j); and 
 (B) to the extent any such
proceeds remain after application as set forth in Section 3.04(c)(viii)(A), offer to prepay the 2026 Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such proceeds. 

(ix) Mandatory Prepayment with Asset Sale Proceeds. Prior to the 2026 Senior Notes Discharge, other than with respect to Net Asset
Sale Proceeds attributable to a Disposition permitted by Section 9.12(a), Section 9.12(b), Section 9.12(e), Section 9.12(f) or
Section 9.12(h), upon receipt by the Borrower or its Affiliates of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds in excess of $25,000,000 for any individual Disposition or series of related Dispositions or $100,000,000 in the aggregate, then
the Borrower shall apply an amount of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds as set forth in Section 3.04(c)(ix)(A), Section 3.04(c)(ix)(B), Section 3.04(c)(ix)(C) or any
combination thereof within five (5) Business Days after the date of receipt of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds (or with respect to Section 3.04(c)(ix)(C), such other timeframe specified in
Section 3.04(c)(ix)(C)): 
 (A) prior to any application of any such Net Asset Sale Proceeds as set forth in
Section 3.04(c)(ix)(B), prepay the Borrowings in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds and (2) the then outstanding Borrowings; provided that if any
Net Asset Sale Proceeds remain after the Borrowings are fully prepaid, the Borrower shall apply such remaining Net Asset Sale Proceeds to cash collateralize or otherwise backstop any LC Exposure with such remaining Net Asset Sale Proceeds to the
extent required by, and in accordance with, Section 2.08(j); 
 (B) to the extent any Net Asset Sale Proceeds
remain after application as set forth in Section 3.04(c)(ix)(A), offer to prepay the 2026 Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds; and/or 

(C) so long as (1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) on a pro forma basis (including
after giving effect to the applicable Disposition and/or any reinvestment of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds) the Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 (as the Leverage Ratio is recomputed on such date using (x) Total Net Debt
outstanding on such date and (y) EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters (or, if applicable, the relevant annualized period determined in accordance with the definition thereof) ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding
such date for which financial statements are available), reinvest such Net Asset Sale Proceeds in Oil and Gas Properties (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the acquisition of Oil and Gas Properties); provided that promptly following any
determination by the Loan Parties of an election to invest Net Asset Sale Proceeds pursuant to this Section 3.04(c)(ix)(C), the Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds,
deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of 

  
 82 

 
the Borrower specifying that the Borrower intends to reinvest such Net Asset Sale Proceeds; provided further that if any such Net Asset Sale Proceeds are not reinvested within the 365-day period or 545-day period, as applicable, referenced in the definition of Net Asset Sale Proceeds, the Borrower shall be required to apply such Net Asset Sale Proceeds
first, as set forth in Section 3.04(c)(ix)(A) and, to the extent any Net Asset Sale Proceeds remain after application as set forth in Section 3.04(c)(ix)(A), as set forth in
Section 3.04(c)(ix)(B). 
 (x) Prepayment Notice. All prepayments made in accordance with
Section 3.04(c)(vii) through Section 3.04(c)(ix) shall be made upon not less than eight (8) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may
be consented to by the Administrative Agent). Each such notice shall include the calculation of the amount of the applicable proceeds giving rise to the prepayment, as applicable, and refer to the section under this Agreement relating to such
prepayment. In connection with any prepayment required under Section 3.04(c)(vii) through Section 3.04(c)(ix), in the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount
received exceeded the amount set forth in such notice, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Borrowings and/or cash collateralization of the LC Exposure and/or prepayment of the 2026 Senior Notes in an amount equal to such
excess, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice of prepayment demonstrating the calculation of such excess. Any notice of prepayment may provide that such prepayment is conditioned upon the
satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. The Borrower shall make any prepayments under Section 3.04(c)(vii) through Section 3.04(c)(ix) on the date set forth in the applicable prepayment
notice. 
 (d) No Premium or Penalty. Prepayments permitted or required under this Section 3.04 shall be
without premium or penalty, except as required under Section 5.02. 
 Section 3.05 Fees. 

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which
shall accrue at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the actual daily amount of the unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date. Accrued commitment
fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case such commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay
(i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Term
SOFR Loans on the actual daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on
which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, (ii) 

  
 83 

 
to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the actual daily amount of the LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure;
provided that in no event shall such fee be less than $500 during any quarter, and (iii) to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, its standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day,
commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such unpaid fees shall be payable on the Termination Date and any such fees accruing after the Termination Date shall be payable on demand. During the
continuation of an Event of Default, to the extent the Majority Lenders have elected to charge default rate interest pursuant to Section 3.02(c)(ii), the fees payable pursuant to this
Section 3.05(b) shall increase by 2.00% per annum over the then-applicable rate. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.05(b) shall be payable within 10 days after
demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case such fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366
days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

(c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts
and at the times set forth in the Fee Letters. 
 ARTICLE IV 

PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING OF SET-OFFS 

Section 4.01 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 

(a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest,
fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Houston, Texas time, on
the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Fees, once paid, shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances absent manifest error.
Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to
the Administrative Agent at its offices specified in Section 12.01, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to
Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. 

  
 84 

 (b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are
received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then
due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 

(c) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment
in respect of (a) Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to
such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its
ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in LC Disbursements of the other Lenders,
or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due
and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that: 
 (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased
and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 

(ii) the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on
behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of cash collateral provided for in
Section 2.08(j), or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant,
other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall apply). 

  
 85 

 (d) The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do
so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 Section 4.02 Presumption of Payment by the Borrower. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank that the Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event,
if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank
in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this Section 4.02 shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 Section 4.03 Deductions by the Administrative Agent; Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.05(a), Section 2.08(d), Section 2.08(e), Section 4.02, Section 5.03(f),
Section 11.10 or Section 12.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or
(ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any
order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. 
 (b) Payments to Defaulting Lenders. 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 Applicable Percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures, then no payments will be made to such Defaulting Lender until such time as such Defaulting Lender shall
have complied with Section 4.03(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 Obligations. 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 Applicable Percentage of all Loans then outstanding. After acceleration or maturity of the Loans, subject to the first sentence of this Section 4.03(b), all principal will be paid ratably as provided in
Section 10.02(c). 

  
 86 

 (c) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(i) Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 3.05(a). 
 (ii) The Commitment, the Maximum Credit Amount and the Revolving Credit Exposure of such
Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or the Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to
Section 12.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that
any redetermination or affirmation of the Borrowing Base shall occur without the participation of a Defaulting Lender, but the Commitment (i.e., the Applicable Percentage of the Borrowing Base of a Defaulting Lender) may not be increased
without the consent of such Defaulting Lender; provided, that, subject to Section 12.19, no such reallocation will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender. 

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

(A) all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the
Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (for the purposes of such reallocation the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall be disregarded in determining the Non-Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage) but only to the extent (1) 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 and (2) 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; provided further that, subject to
Section 12.19, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim
of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation; 

(B) if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, then the Borrower shall within
one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial
reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above), or otherwise backstop such LC Exposure in such amounts and pursuant to such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 2.08(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding and the relevant Defaulting Lender remains a Defaulting Lender; 

  
 87 

 (C) if the Borrower cash collateralizes or backstops any portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (B) above, then the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s
LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped; 
 (D) if the LC
Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.05(a) and
Section 3.05(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and 

(E) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized nor backstopped
pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other 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 3.05(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped; and 

(iv) So long as such 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 and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral or
other backstop arrangement will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 4.03(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 4.03(c)(iii)(A) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 

If a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Lender Parent of any Lender shall occur
following the Effective Date and for so long as such event shall continue, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or
such Lender, satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. 
 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 and such Lender is no longer 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 and/or participations in Letters of Credit of the other
Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans and/or participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 

  
 88 

 Section 4.04 Disposition of Proceeds. The Security Instruments contain an
assignment by the Borrower and/or the Guarantors unto and in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of all of the Borrower’s and/or each Guarantor’s interest in and to production and all proceeds
attributable thereto which may be produced from or allocated to the Mortgaged Property. The Security Instruments further provide in general for the application of such proceeds to the satisfaction of the Obligations and other obligations described
therein and secured thereby. Notwithstanding the assignment contained in such Security Instruments, for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (a) the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties agree that they will
neither notify the purchaser or purchasers of such production nor take any other action to cause such proceeds to be remitted to the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, but the Secured Parties will instead permit such proceeds to be paid to
the Loan Parties and (b) the Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds to be paid to and retained by the Loan Parties. 

ARTICLE V 
 INCREASED
COSTS; BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS; TAXES; ILLEGALITY 
 Section 5.01 Increased Costs. 

(a) Changes in Law. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan
requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or the Issuing Bank; 

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made
by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or 
 (iii) subject any Recipient under this Agreement or under any other
Loan Document to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters
of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; 
 (iv) and the
result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such
Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether
of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other
Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

  
 89 

 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any
Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding
company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank
or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing
Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the
Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates. A
certificate of a Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
Section 5.01(a) or (b) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any
such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Effect of Failure or Delay in Requesting Compensation. Failure or
delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation;
provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such
Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided, further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof. 
 Section 5.02 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any
Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default) (other than a payment required pursuant to Section 3.04(c)(vi)), (b) the conversion of any
Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice
delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.04, then, in
any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for any loss, cost and expense incurred by it as a result of such event, including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of
funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

  
 90 

 A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled
to receive pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof. 
 Section 5.03 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan
Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding
of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or such Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and
withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower and each Guarantor shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, Other Taxes. 
 (c)
Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower and each Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or
any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.03, the Borrower or such Guarantor 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. 

(e) Status of Lenders. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably

  
 91 

 
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably
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 such documentation
(other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.03(e)(ii)(A), Section 5.03(e)(ii)(B) and Section 5.03(e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s
reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form)
certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is
legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect
to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form)
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (2) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that
its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form); 

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a
“10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor
form); or 

  
 92 

 (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form
W-8IMY (or any successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form), IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a
partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
 (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the
extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal
withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) 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 Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at
the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and
such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has
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 clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to
FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(f) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand
therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or any Guarantor has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation
of the Borrower and each Guarantor to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04(c) relating to the maintenance of

  
 93 

 
a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and
any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered
to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or
otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (f). 

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03), it shall pay to the
indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.03 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect
to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to
pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would
have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This
paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.03 shall survive the resignation or
replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 5.03, the term “Lender” includes the
Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 
 Section 5.04 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of
Lenders. 
 (a) Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, or if
the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts
to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation

  
 94 

 
or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future
and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with
any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 5.01, (ii) the Borrower or any Guarantor is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or indemnify any Lender pursuant to
Section 5.03, (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (iv) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice
to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.04(b)), all its interests, rights (other
than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) the Administrative Agent shall have received the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.04 (or waived such
assignment fee), (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 5.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments (D) such assignment does not conflict with
applicable laws and (E) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if such Lender or any of its Affiliates is a Secured Swap Party with any outstanding Secured Swap Agreement, unless on or prior thereto, all
such Swap Agreements have been terminated or novated to another Person and such Lender (or its Affiliate) shall have received payment of all amounts, if any, payable to it in connection with such termination or novation. Each party hereto agrees
that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent
applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (ii) the Lender required to make such
assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other
parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the
parties thereto. 

  
 95 

 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.04 to the contrary,
(i) the Lender that acts as the Issuing Bank may not be replaced hereunder at any time it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to such Lender (including the furnishing of a backstop standby letter of
credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing
Bank) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit and (ii) a Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 11.06. 

Section 5.05 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Governmental Requirement has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental
Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended and (b) )
if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the interest
rate applicable to ABR Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans to ABR Loans (the interest rate applicable to the ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to
clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender
may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to
clause (c) of the definition thereof, in each case, until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by each affected Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the SOFR. Upon
any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.02.

Letter of Credit, as applicable, are within the Borrower’s and each Guarantor’s corporate or equivalent powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or equivalent action (including, without limitation, any action
required to be taken by any other Person, whether interested or disinterested, in order to ensure the due authorization of the Transactions. Each Loan Document to which the Borrower and each Guarantor is a party has been duly executed and delivered

with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority or any other third Person (including holders of its Equity Interests or any class of directors, managers or supervisors, as applicable, whether interested or disinterested, of the Borrower or
any other 

  
 100 

 
Person), nor is any such consent, approval, registration, filing or other action necessary for the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or the consummation of the Transactions, except

Governmental Authority, and (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument evidencing Material Debt binding upon the Loan Parties or any of their respective Properties, or give rise to a right

the Oil and Gas Properties of the Loan Parties and production and cost estimates are necessarily based upon professional opinions, estimates and projections and that the Loan Parties do not warrant that such opinions, estimates and projections will
ultimately prove to have been accurate. 
 (c) Since December 31, 2021, there has been no event, development or circumstance that has
had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing against the Loan Parties (i) not covered by insurance (except for normal deductibles and customary policy exclusions) that, if adversely determined, could
reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any Loan Document or, except as set forth on Schedule 7.05, the Transactions.

or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

instruments binding upon it or its Property, and possesses all licenses, permits, franchises, exemptions, approvals and other governmental authorizations necessary for the ownership of its Property and the conduct of its business, except where the

Document or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished (including, with respect to the Information)), when taken as a whole, contains any material misstatement of fact or omits
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of the date made or deemed made; provided that, with respect to projected financial
information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time such financial information was prepared. To the knowledge of the Borrower, there are no
statements or conclusions in any Reserve Report which are based upon or include materially misleading information or fail to take into account material information regarding the matters reported therein, it being understood that projections
concerning volumes attributable to the Oil and Gas Properties of the Loan Parties and production and cost estimates contained in each Reserve Report are necessarily based upon professional opinions, estimates and projections and that the Loan

of all Liens except Liens permitted by Section 9.03. After giving full effect to the Excepted Liens, the Loan Party 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 

  
 104 

 
ownership of such Properties shall not in any material respect obligate the Loan Parties 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 Loan Parties’ 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 could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) The rights and Properties presently owned, leased or licensed by the Loan Parties including, without
limitation, all easements and rights of way, include all rights and Properties necessary to permit the Loan Parties to conduct their business in all material respects in the same manner as its business has been conducted prior to the Effective Date.

 (d) All of the Properties of Loan Parties which are reasonably necessary for the operation of their businesses are in good working

material to its business, and the use thereof by the Loan Parties does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. The Loan Parties either own or have valid licenses or other rights to use all databases, geological data, geophysical data, engineering data, seismic 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 oil and gas minerals business, with such exceptions as could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 7.17 Maintenance of Properties. 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 with respect to which the Loan Parties own any executive rights (and Properties unitized therewith) have been maintained, operated and
developed in a good and workmanlike manner and in conformity with all Governmental Requirements 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 such Oil and Gas Properties. Specifically in connection with the foregoing, except for those as could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) no such 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) and (ii) none of the wells comprising a
part of such Oil and Gas Properties (or Properties unitized therewith) is deviated from the vertical more than the maximum permitted by Governmental Requirements, and such wells are, in fact, bottomed under and are producing from, and the well bores
are wholly within, 

  
 105 

 
the Oil and Gas Properties (or in the case of wells located on Properties unitized therewith, such unitized Properties). All pipelines, wells, gas processing plants, platforms and other material
improvements, fixtures and equipment with respect to which the Loan Parties own any executive rights and that are necessary to conduct normal operations are being or, in the case of such pipelines, wells, gas processing plants, platforms and other
material improvements, fixtures and equipment the maintenance of which is performed by a third-party operator, the Borrower is using its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such items to be, and to the Borrower’s knowledge such items are,
maintained in a state adequate to conduct normal operations (other than those the failure of which to maintain in accordance with this Section 7.17 could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect).  
 Section 7.18 Gas Imbalances, Prepayments. To the extent the Loan Parties
take Hydrocarbons attributable or allocable to their Oil and Gas Properties in-kind, except as set forth on Schedule 7.18 or on the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 8.12(c), on a net basis there are no gas imbalances, take or pay or other prepayments which would require the Loan Parties to deliver Hydrocarbons produced from their Oil and Gas Properties at some future time

Gas Properties in-kind, except for contracts listed and in effect on the Effective Date on Schedule 7.19, and thereafter either disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent or included in the most
recently delivered Reserve Report (with respect to all of which contracts the Borrower represents that it or the other Loan Parties are receiving a price for all production sold thereunder which is computed substantially in accordance with the terms
of the relevant contract and are not having deliveries curtailed substantially below the subject Property’s delivery capacity), no material agreements exist which are not cancelable on 60 days’ notice or less without penalty or detriment
for the sale of production from the Loan Parties’ Hydrocarbons (including, without limitation, calls on or other rights to purchase, production, whether or not the same are currently being exercised) that (a) pertain to the sale of
production at a fixed price and (b) have a maturity or expiry date of longer than six (6) months. 
 Section 7.20

Letters of Credit shall be used (a) for working capital, for exploration and production operations, and for other general company purposes of the Loan Parties, including the acquisition of Oil and Gas Properties, (b) to pay fees, costs and
expenses associated with the Transactions and (c) on the Effective Date to fund the Effective Date Refinancing. The Loan Parties are not engaged principally, or as one of its or their important activities, in the business of extending credit

Credit will be used for any purpose which violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board.

insurance or any similar arrangement), at a fair valuation, of the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, exceed the aggregate Debt of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis, (b) each of the Loan Parties has not incurred and does not intend to
incur, and does not believe that it will incur, Debt beyond its ability to pay such Debt (after taking into account the timing and amounts of cash reasonably expected to be received by each of the Loan Parties and the amounts to be payable on or in
respect of its liabilities, and giving effect to amounts that could reasonably be expected to be received by reason of indemnity, offset, insurance or any similar arrangement), as such Debt becomes absolute and matures and (c) each of the Loan
Parties does not have (and does not have reason to believe that it will have thereafter) unreasonably small capital for the conduct of its business. 

Section 7.23 International Operations. None of the Loan Parties own, and have not acquired or made any other expenditure (whether
such expenditure is capital, operating or otherwise) in or related to, any Oil and Gas Properties located outside of the geographical boundaries of the United States or the offshore state or federal waters of the United States of America.

attributable to production (and the prices at which such sales were made, the revenues derived from such sales, and the fees, expenses severance taxes and other deductions associated with such sales) with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties of the
Loan Parties for each calendar month during the then current fiscal year to date through and including the last day of the fiscal quarter for which financial statements are being delivered, in each case in the form received from third parties or
otherwise in the form ordinarily used by management of the Borrower. Without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to deliver the report required by this Section 8.01(o), it is understood and agreed that such report is
derived in part from information received from third party operators of the Loan Parties’ Oil and Gas Properties, and as a result thereof, such report may be incomplete with respect to particular Oil and Gas Properties.

(5) Business Days after the execution thereof, copies of any amendment, modification or supplement to (i) any Permitted Additional Debt Document or (ii) the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws, limited liability company
agreement, any preferred stock designation or any other organic document of any Loan Party. 
 (q) Notice of Debt Incurrence. Written

delivered electronically and if so delivered shall be deemed delivered on the date on which such documents are posted on the Borrower’s behalf on an Approved Electronic Platform or another relevant Internet or intranet website, if any, to which
the Administrative Agent and each Lender have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any delivery of reports or other information required by
Section 8.01(a), (b), (i) or (p) shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which any such reports or other information have (A) been posted by or on behalf of Ultimate Parent on

(b) the filing or commencement of, or the threat in writing of, any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or arbitration by or before any
arbitrator or Governmental Authority against or affecting the Borrower or any other Loan Party not previously disclosed in writing to the Lenders or any material adverse development in any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or arbitration
(whether or not previously disclosed to the Lenders) that, in either case, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and 

(c) any other development that results in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.

all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and the rights, licenses, permits, privileges and franchises material to the conduct of its business and maintain, if necessary, its qualification to do
business in each other jurisdiction in which its Oil and Gas Properties are located or the ownership of its Properties requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 9.11. 

Section 8.04 Payment of Obligations. The Borrower will, and will cause each of the other Loan Parties to, pay its obligations,
including Tax liabilities of the Loan Parties before the same shall become delinquent or in default, except where (a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) such Loan Party has set
aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and (c) the failure to make payment pending such contest could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 8.05 Performance of Obligations under Loan Documents. The Borrower will pay the Loans and the other Obligations hereunder
according to the terms hereof, and the Borrower will, and will cause each other Loan Party to, do and perform every act and discharge all of the obligations to be performed and discharged by them under the Loan Documents, including, without
limitation, this Agreement, at the time or times and in the manner specified. 
 Section 8.06 Operation and Maintenance of
Properties. Except, in each case, where the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower, at its own expense, will, and will cause each other Loan Party to: 

(a) to the extent any Loan Party owns any executive rights with respect thereto, operate its Oil and Gas Properties and other material
Properties or cause such Oil and Gas Properties and other material Properties to be operated in a careful and efficient manner in accordance with the practices of the industry and in compliance with all applicable contracts and agreements and in
compliance with all Governmental Requirements, including, without limitation, applicable proration requirements, and all applicable laws, rules and regulations of every other Governmental Authority from time to time constituted to regulate the
development and operation of its Oil and Gas Properties and the production and sale of Hydrocarbons and other minerals therefrom; 

  
 114 

 (b) to the extent any Loan Party owns any executive rights with respect thereto, preserve,
maintain and keep in good repair, working order and efficiency (ordinary wear and tear excepted) all of such material Oil and Gas Properties and other material Properties, including, without limitation, all equipment, machinery and facilities; 

(c) to the extent any Loan Party owns any executive rights with respect thereto, promptly pay and discharge, or make reasonable and customary
efforts to cause to be paid and discharged, all delay rentals, royalties, expenses and indebtedness accruing under the leases or other agreements affecting or pertaining to such Oil and Gas Properties and will do all other things necessary to keep
unimpaired their rights with respect thereto and prevent any forfeiture thereof or default thereunder; and 
 (d) to the extent any Loan
Party owns any executive rights with respect thereto, promptly perform or make reasonable and customary efforts to cause to be performed, in accordance with customary industry standards, the obligations required by each and all of the assignments,
deeds, leases, sub-leases, contracts and agreements affecting its interests in such Oil and Gas Properties and other material Properties. 

(e) With respect to the Oil and Gas Properties referred to in this Section 8.06 that are operated by any Person
other than any Loan Party, to the extent any Loan Party owns any executive rights with respect thereto, such Loan Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the operator of such Oil and Gas Properties to comply with this
Section 8.06 with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties operated by it. 
 Section 8.07 Insurance. The
Borrower will, and will cause each other Loan Party to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are customarily maintained by companies engaged in the same or similar
businesses. The lender loss payable clauses or provisions in said insurance policy or policies insuring any of the Collateral shall be endorsed in favor of and made payable to the Administrative Agent as its interests may appear and such policies in
respect of such liability insurance shall contain an endorsement or other policy provisions naming the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as “additional insureds”. To the extent that the insurer will agree to do so, such policies will
also provide that the insurer will endeavor to give at least 30 days prior notice of any cancellation to the Administrative Agent (subject to a shorter period of time for cancellation due to non-payment of
premium). Notwithstanding any additional insured or lender loss payee designation on an insurance policy in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) and regardless of any initial routing of proceeds payable under an
applicable insurance policy, the Borrower shall be given such proceeds for application to reinvestment or other permitted purposes hereunder unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

  
 115 

 Section 8.08 Books and Records; Inspection Rights. The Borrower will, and will
cause each other Loan Party to, keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities. The Borrower will, and will
cause each other Loan Party to, permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior written notice, to visit and inspect its Properties (provided that any such representative shall agree to
comply with Borrower’s safety rules), to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as
reasonably requested; provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for more than one inspection during any fiscal year,
in the aggregate. 
 Section 8.09 Compliance with Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause each other Loan Party to, comply with
all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its Property, except (other than with respect to Anti-Corruption Laws, applicable AML Laws and applicable Sanctions) where the failure to do so, individually
or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower will maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures, if any, as it reasonably deems appropriate, in light of its business and
international activities (if any), designed to ensure compliance by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws, AML Laws and applicable Sanctions. 

Section 8.10 Environmental Matters. 

(a) The Borrower shall, without cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders: (i) comply, and shall cause
its Properties and operations and each other Loan Party and each other Loan Party’s Properties and operations to comply, with all applicable Environmental Laws, the breach of which could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(ii) not Release or threaten to Release, and shall cause each Subsidiary not to Release or threaten to Release, any Hazardous Material on, under, about or from any Loan Party’s Properties or any other property offsite the Property to the
extent caused by any Loan Party’s operations except in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, the Release or threatened Release of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (iii) timely obtain or
file, and shall cause each other Loan Party to timely obtain or file, all Environmental Permits, if any, required under applicable Environmental Laws to be obtained or filed in connection with the operation or use of any Loan Party’s
Properties, which failure to obtain or file could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) The Borrower will
promptly, but in no event later than five days of the occurrence thereof, notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in writing of any threatened action, investigation or inquiry by any Governmental Authority or any threatened demand or lawsuit
by any Person against any Loan Party or their respective Properties of which the Borrower has knowledge in connection with any Environmental Laws if the Borrower could reasonably anticipate that such action will result in liability (whether
individually or in the aggregate) in excess of the greater of (x) $7,500,000 or (y) 5.0% of the then-effective Borrowing Base, not fully covered by insurance, subject to normal deductibles. 

  
 116 

 Section 8.11 Further Assurances. 

(a) The Borrower at its sole expense will, and will cause each other Loan Party to, promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
all such other documents, agreements and instruments reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to comply with, cure any defects or accomplish the conditions precedent, covenants and agreements of any Loan Party in the Loan Documents,
including the Notes, or to further evidence and more fully describe the collateral intended as security for the Obligations, or to correct any omissions in this Agreement or the Security Instruments, or to state more fully the obligations secured
therein, or to perfect, protect or preserve any Liens created pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Security Instruments or the priority thereof, or to make any recordings, file any notices or obtain any consents, all as may be reasonably
necessary or appropriate, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, in connection therewith. 
 (b) The Borrower hereby authorizes
the Administrative Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of the Borrower or any other Guarantor where permitted by law. A carbon,
photographic or other reproduction of the Security Instruments or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any
financing statement may describe the Collateral as “all assets” of the applicable Borrower or Guarantor or words of similar effect as may be required by the Administrative Agent. 

Section 8.12 Reserve Reports. 

(a) On or before March 1st and September
1st of each year, commencing September 1, 2022, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Reserve Report evaluating the proved Oil and Gas Properties of the
Loan Parties as of the immediately preceding January 1st and July 1st, respectively. The Reserve Report as of January 1 of each
year shall be prepared by one or more Approved Petroleum Engineers, and the July 1 Reserve Report of each year shall be prepared by one or more Approved Petroleum Engineers or by or under the supervision of the chief engineer of the Borrower
who shall certify such Reserve Report to be true and accurate in all material respects and, except as otherwise specified therein, to have been prepared in all material respects in accordance with the procedures used in the immediately preceding
January 1 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 in all material respects and to have been prepared in accordance with the
procedures used in the immediately preceding January 1 Reserve Report. For any Interim Redetermination requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07(c), the Borrower shall provide such
Reserve Report with an “as of” date as required by the Administrative Agent as soon as possible, but in any event no later than thirty (30) 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 in all material respects: (i) the information contained in the Reserve Report and any other information delivered in connection therewith is true and correct in all material respects, it being understood

  
 117 

 
and agreed that projections concerning volumes attributable to the Oil and Gas Properties of the Loan Parties and production and cost estimates contained in the Reserve Report are necessarily
based upon professional opinions, estimates and projections and that the Loan Parties do not warrant that such opinions, estimates and projections will ultimately prove to have been accurate, (ii) except as set forth on an exhibit to the
certificate, the Loan Parties own 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, to the extent the Loan Parties take Hydrocarbons attributable or allocable to their Oil and Gas Properties in-kind, on a net basis there are no gas imbalances,
take or pay or other prepayments in excess of the volume specified in Section 7.18 with respect to its Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in such Reserve Report which would require any Loan Party to deliver Hydrocarbons
either generally or produced from such Oil and Gas Properties at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor; (iv) to the extent Loan Parties take Hydrocarbons attributable or allocable to their Oil and Gas
Properties in-kind, attached to the certificate is a list of all marketing agreements entered into subsequent to the later of the Effective Date or the most recently delivered Reserve Report which the Borrower
could reasonably be expected to have been obligated to list on Schedule 7.19 had such agreement been in effect on the Effective Date and (v) attached thereto is a schedule of the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report
that are Mortgaged Properties and demonstrating that the total value of such Mortgaged Properties as a percentage of the total value of the total proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in such Reserve Report is in compliance with
Section 8.14(a). 
 Section 8.13 Title Information. 

(a) On or before the delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of each Reserve Report required by
Section 8.12(a), the Borrower will deliver title information in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent covering enough of the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report that were
not included in the immediately preceding Reserve Report, so that the Administrative Agent shall have received together with title information previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, title information in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent on at least 85% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report. 

(b) If the Borrower has provided title information for additional Properties under Section 8.13(a), the Borrower
shall, within sixty (60) days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may approve in its sole discretion) of notice from the Administrative Agent that title defects or exceptions exist with respect to such additional Properties,
either (i) cure any such title defects or exceptions (including defects or exceptions as to priority) which are not permitted by Section 9.03 raised by such information, (ii) substitute acceptable Mortgaged
Properties with no title defects or exceptions (provided that Excepted Liens of the type described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), and (f) of the definition thereof may exist, but subject to the provisos
at the end of such definition) having an equivalent value or (iii) deliver title information in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent so that the Administrative Agent shall have received, together with title
information previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, title information in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent on at least 85% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve
Report. 

  
 118 

 (c) If the Borrower is unable to cure any title defect requested by the Administrative Agent
or the Required Lenders to be cured within the 60-day period (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may approve in its sole discretion) or the Borrower does not comply with the requirements to
provide title information in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent covering at least 85% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the most recent Reserve Report, such default shall not be a
Default, but instead the Administrative Agent and/or the Required Lenders shall have the right to exercise the following remedy in their sole discretion from time to time, and any failure to so exercise this remedy at any time shall not be a waiver
as to future exercise of the remedy by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders are not reasonably satisfied with title to any Mortgaged Property after the 60-day period (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may approve in its sole discretion) has elapsed, such unacceptable Mortgaged Property shall not count towards the 85% requirement, and the
Administrative Agent may send a notice to the Borrower and the Lenders that the then outstanding Borrowing Base shall be reduced by an amount as determined by the Required Lenders to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the requirement to
provide title information in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent on at least 85% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties. This new Borrowing Base shall become effective immediately after receipt of
such notice. 
 Section 8.14 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 (as described in Section 8.12(c)(v)) to ascertain whether the Mortgaged Properties represent at least 85% of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the most recently completed
Reserve Report after giving effect to exploration and production activities, acquisitions and Dispositions. In the event that the Mortgaged Properties do not represent at least 85% of such total value, then the Borrower shall, and shall cause the
other Loan Parties to, grant, within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may approve in its sole discretion) of delivery of the certificate required under Section 8.12(c), to the
Administrative Agent as security for the Obligations a first-priority Lien (provided that Excepted Liens of the type described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), and (f) of the definition thereof may exist,
but subject to the provisos at the end of such definition) on additional Oil and Gas Properties not already subject to a Lien of the Security Instruments such that after giving effect thereto, the Mortgaged Properties will represent at least 85% of
such total value. All such Liens will be created and perfected by and in accordance with the provisions of deeds of trust, mortgages, 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 pursuant to this Section 8.14(a) and such Restricted Subsidiary is not a Guarantor, then it shall become a Guarantor and comply with Section 8.14(b). 

  
 119 

 (b) If (i) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary creates or acquires any Material
Subsidiary or (ii) any Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Material Subsidiary (whether pursuant to the definition of Material Subsidiary or otherwise), then the Borrower shall cause, or shall cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, promptly, but in
any event no later than ten (10) days after the date of creation or acquisition thereof or the date such Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Material Subsidiary, as the case may be (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its
sole discretion): (A) cause such Restricted Subsidiary to become a Guarantor by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed supplement to the Guarantee Agreement (or such other document as the Administrative Agent shall deem
appropriate for such purpose), (B) pledge all of the Equity Interests of such Restricted Subsidiary (including, without limitation, delivery of original stock certificates evidencing the Equity Interests of such Restricted Subsidiary, together with
an appropriate undated stock power for each certificate duly executed in blank by the registered owner thereof, if applicable) and (C) execute and deliver such other additional closing documents, certificates and legal opinions as shall
reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 8.15 ERISA Event. The Borrower will promptly furnish and will
cause the other Loan Parties to promptly notify the Administrative Agent upon becoming aware of the occurrence of any ERISA Event that could reasonably be expected to result in material liability to any Loan Party. Such notice shall specify the
nature of the ERISA Event, what action such Loan Party or the ERISA Affiliate is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

Section 8.16 Marketing Activities. To the extent the Loan Parties take Hydrocarbons attributable or allocable to their Oil and Gas
Properties in-kind, the Borrower will not, and will not permit any of the other Loan Parties to, engage in marketing activities for any Hydrocarbons or enter into any contracts related thereto other than
(a) contracts for the sale of Hydrocarbons scheduled or reasonably estimated to be produced from their proved Oil and Gas Properties during the period of such contract, (b) contracts for the sale of Hydrocarbons scheduled or reasonably
estimated to be produced from proved Oil and Gas Properties of third parties during the period of such contract associated with the Oil and Gas Properties of the Loan Parties that any Loan Party has the right to market pursuant to joint operating
agreements, unitization agreements or other similar contracts that are usual and customary in the oil and gas business and (c) other contracts for the purchase and/or sale of Hydrocarbons of third parties (i) which have generally
offsetting provisions (i.e., corresponding pricing mechanics, delivery dates and points and volumes) such that no “position” is taken and (ii) for which appropriate credit support has been taken to alleviate the material credit
risks of the counterparty thereto. 
 Section 8.17 Accounts. 

(a) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, cause each of its Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts and Commodity Accounts at
all times to be subject to a Control Agreement; provided that (a) no such Control Agreement shall be required for any Excluded Account and (b) with respect to the Deposit Accounts, Security Accounts and Commodity Accounts maintained
by the New Loan Parties as of the Effective Date (the “Specified Bank Accounts”), the Borrower and the Guarantors shall have until September 5, 2022 (as such date may be extended by the Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion) (the “Control Agreement Delivery Date”) to deliver Control Agreements covering such accounts. 

  
 120 

 (b) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to instruct all third parties from
which any Loan Party receives, or is reasonably expected to receive, Cash Receipts by direct deposit, to make direct deposits of such Cash Receipts into (i) a Deposit Account of a Loan Party in which the Administrative Agent has been granted a
first-priority Lien and is subject to a Control Agreement, (ii) prior to the Control Agreement Delivery Date, a Deposit Account of a New Loan Party or (iii) a Deposit Account of a Loan Party which is an Excluded Account (subject to any
limitations on amounts described in the definition thereof). 
 Section 8.18 Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower: 

(a) will cause the management, business and affairs of each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the
Unrestricted Subsidiaries, on the other hand, to be conducted in such a manner (including by keeping separate books of account, furnishing separate financial statements of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries to creditors and potential creditors thereof
and by not permitting Properties of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Unrestricted Subsidiaries, on the other hand, to be commingled) so that each Unrestricted Subsidiary will be treated as an entity separate and
distinct from the Borrower and any Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (b) will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any guarantee by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of, or be or become liable for any Debt of any Unrestricted Subsidiary; and 

(c) will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to hold any Equity Interest in, or any Debt of, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary.

 Section 8.19 Post-Closing Matters. The Borrower shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Administrative Agent the
items listed on Schedule 8.19, in each case, on or before the dates specified in Schedule 8.19 (or such later date(s) as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent that any representation or warranty would be incorrect or any covenant would be breached, in either case, by the non-delivery of an item
listed on Schedule 8.19 on a date prior to the date specified in Schedule 8.19 (or such later date(s) as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), such incorrectness or breach is waived through the
date specified in Schedule 8.19 (or such later date(s) as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). 

ARTICLE IX 
 NEGATIVE
COVENANTS 
 The Borrower covenants and agrees with Lenders that, on the Effective Date and thereafter, until Payment in Full:  
 Section 9.01 Financial Covenants. 

(a) Ratio of Total Net Debt to EBITDA. The Borrower will not permit, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, commencing with the
fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022, the ratio of (A) Total Net Debt as of such day to (B) EBITDA for the period of four fiscal quarters (or, if applicable, the relevant annualized period determined in accordance with the
definition thereof) ending on such day (the “Leverage Ratio”) to be greater than 3.50 to 1.00. 

  
 121 

 (b) Current Ratio. The Borrower will not permit, as of the last day of any fiscal
quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022, its ratio of (i) consolidated current assets (including the unused amount of the total Commitments then available to be borrowed, but excluding non-cash assets under FASB ASC 815) to (ii) consolidated current liabilities (excluding non-cash obligations under FASB ASC 815 and current maturities under this
Agreement and under the Bridge Loan Documents) (the “Current Ratio”) to be less than 1.00 to 1.00. 
 (c) Right
to Cure. In the event the Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of Section 9.01(a) or Section 9.01(b) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower, then during the period
from and including the first day after the last day of such fiscal quarter through and including the 10th Business Day after the date the compliance certificate for such fiscal quarter is required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 8.01(c) (such period, the “Cure Period”), the Borrower shall be permitted to cure such failure to comply by requesting that the Leverage Ratio and/or the Current Ratio be recalculated by
increasing EBITDA and/or the consolidated current assets for such fiscal quarter by an amount up to the cash proceeds received by the Borrower from a Specified Equity Contribution during the Cure Period (such amount, a “Cure
Amount”); provided that (i) the Borrower delivers written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of a timely delivered certificate required by Section 8.01(c) that it has elected
to cure the failure to comply and clearly setting forth such Specified Equity Contribution in the computation required by clause (ii) of such Section 8.01(c); (ii) the amount of the Cure
Amount added to EBITDA and/or the consolidated current assets shall not be greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with Section 9.01(a) or Section 9.01(b), as
applicable; (iii) any such increase pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) to EBITDA and/or the consolidated current assets for any fiscal quarter shall be applied solely for the purpose of determining compliance or non-compliance with Section 9.01(a) or Section 9.01(b) as of the last day of any Reference Period that includes such fiscal quarter and not for any other purpose
under any Loan Document (including any determination of pro forma compliance with the Leverage Ratio for the purposes of making any Restricted Payment or Investment or any other purpose); (iv) (A) there shall be no more than two
fiscal quarters during any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters for which the Borrower cures any Leverage Ratio or Current Ratio default by an equity cure and (B) there shall be no more than five fiscal quarters prior to the Maturity Date
for which the Borrower cures any Leverage Ratio or Current Ratio default by an equity cure; (v) such increase in EBITDA and/or consolidated current assets shall be taken into account in calculating the Leverage Ratio or Current Ratio for any
Reference Period that includes the last fiscal quarter of the four quarter period with respect to which such cure right was exercised; (vi) Total Net Debt as of the last day of any fiscal quarter for which the foregoing cure right is exercised
shall not be deemed reduced by the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution made with respect to such fiscal quarter (even if the proceeds of such Specified Equity Contribution are actually used to repay Debt); (vii) for any period during which
EBITDA is calculated on an annualized basis in accordance with the definition thereof, any Cure Amount shall be taken into account after multiplying EBITDA by the applicable annualization factor for such fiscal quarter (i.e. the Cure Amount shall
not be annualized); and (viii) the same dollars of the Cure Amount may not be applied to both increase EBITDA and increase consolidated current assets if the Borrower elects to cure the failure to comply with both
Section 9.01(a) and Section 9.01(b) in the same fiscal quarter (i.e. separate Cure Amounts shall be required for each such cure). If after giving effect to the foregoing recalculation, the Borrower
would then be in compliance with Section 9.01(a) or

favorable to it than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the restrictions set forth in this Section 9.14
shall not apply to (x) the acquisition permitted under Section 9.05(j) and (y) the merger permitted by the final sentence of Section 9.11.

basis) in the aggregate. 
 Section 9.18 Swap Agreements. 

(a) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any other Loan Party to, enter into any Swap Agreements with any Person other than (i) (A)
Swap Agreements in respect of commodities (including Swap Agreements in respect of commodity basis differentials) entered into not for speculative purposes which for the avoidance of doubt, are intended, at inception of execution, to hedge or manage
any of the risks related to existing and or forecasted Hydrocarbon production of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, (B) with an Approved Counterparty, (C) with a tenor not to exceed 60 months, and (D) the aggregate notional
volumes for which (calculated independently for basis differential Swap Agreement volumes and other commodity Swap Agreement volumes) do not exceed, as of the date such Swap Agreement is executed, 85% of the reasonably projected production from
total proved, developed, producing Oil and Gas Properties of the Loan Parties evaluated in the Initial Reserve Report or thereafter the Reserve Report most recently delivered pursuant to Section 8.12, for each month
following the date such Swap Agreement is entered into, in each case for each of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas, calculated separately and (ii) Swap Agreements in respect of interest rates with an Approved Counterparty
effectively converting interest rates from floating to fixed, the notional amounts of which (when aggregated with all other Swap Agreements of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties then in effect effectively converting interest rates from floating
to fixed) do not exceed, as of the date such Swap Agreement is entered into, 75% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Borrower’s Debt for borrowed money which bears interest at a floating rate; provided that put option
contracts that are not related to corresponding calls, collars or swaps and for which an upfront premium has been paid shall not be included in calculating such percentage threshold. In no event shall any Swap Agreement contain any requirement,
agreement or covenant for the Borrower or any other Loan Party to post collateral or margin to secure their obligations under such Swap Agreement or to cover market exposures; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit or
be deemed to prohibit the Secured Swap Obligations from being secured by the Security Instruments. 

  
 134 

 (b) If, on the last day of any fiscal quarter, the aggregate notional volumes of all Swap
Agreements in respect of commodities to which the Borrower or any other Loan Party is a party for which settlement payments were calculated in such fiscal quarter exceeds 100% of the actual production of Hydrocarbons (for each of crude oil, natural
gas liquids and natural gas, calculated separately) from the proved, developed, producing Oil and Gas Properties of the Loan Parties in such fiscal quarter (other than puts, floors, and basis differential swaps on volumes hedged by other Swap
Agreements), then the Borrower shall, or shall cause the other Loan Parties to, Liquidate existing Swap Agreements within fifteen (15) Business Days (or such longer period as agreed by the Administrative Agent) after the end of such fiscal
quarter, such that, after giving effect to such Liquidation, future hedging notional volumes will not exceed 100% of reasonably projected production of Hydrocarbons (for each of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas, calculated separately)
from the proved, developed, producing Oil and Gas Properties of the Loan Parties for the then-current fiscal quarter and any succeeding fiscal quarters.

Borrower may Redeem any Permitted Additional Debt in cash so long as (1) both immediately before, and immediately after giving effect to, any such Redemption, (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) no
Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would exist and (C) Liquidity would be equal to or greater than 10% of the total Commitments (i.e., the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts, (y) the Aggregate Elected Commitment and

which financial statements are available (including, if applicable, the Financial Statements)); provided that the Borrower may elect that compliance with the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) be determined on the date that irrevocable notice
of such Redemption is given to the holders or lenders in respect of such Permitted Additional Debt instead of the date of such Redemption (in which case, for purposes of determining compliance with such clauses, such Redemption shall be deemed to
have occurred on the date such notice is so given), so long as such Redemption is made within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice. 

(b) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any other Loan Party to, amend, modify, waive or otherwise change, consent or agree to any

of any scheduled payment of principal thereof or, other than with respect to the 2026 Senior Notes or any 2026 Senior Notes Document, increase the rate or shorten any period for payment of interest thereon other than customary elections of interest
periods pursuant to the terms of any Permitted Additional Debt Document, (ii) in the case of Permitted Additional Debt other than Bridge Loan Debt, the effect thereof would be to cause the Borrower to violate the terms of
Section 9.02(g), or (iii) in the case of Bridge Loan Debt, the effect thereof would (A) increase the principal amount thereof, (B) cause there to be any scheduled amortization thereof, (C) cause any Loan
Party or other Person to guarantee such Bridge Loan Debt unless such Loan Party or other Person has guaranteed the Obligations pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement, (D) cause the terms of such Bridge Loan Debt to be more restrictive, taken as a
whole, on the Loan Parties than the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than with respect to any mandatory prepayments, applicable fees, interest and other economic terms), or (E) cause any financial maintenance
covenants in such Bridge Loan Documents to be more restrictive on the Loan Parties than the corresponding covenant in this Agreement or cause there to be any financial maintenance covenants in such Bridge Loan Documents that are not in this

(a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Except with respect to Section 11.14, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the other Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and neither the Borrower
nor any Guarantor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall also act
as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Secured Swap Party and a potential Secured Cash Management Provider) and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Borrower and the Guarantors to secure any of the
Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.05 for purposes
of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof granted under the Security Instruments, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits
of all provisions of this Article XI and Article XII (including Section 12.03(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 

Section 11.02 Duties and Obligations of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred
and is continuing (the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency
doctrine of any applicable law; rather, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties), (b) the Administrative Agent shall have
no duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except as provided in Section 11.03, (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and
shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, that is
communicated to, obtained or in the possession of, the Administrative Agent, Arranger or any of their Related Parties in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent herein, (d) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
(ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions
set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, 

  
 142 

 
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created
by the Security Instruments, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VI or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to the Administrative Agent and (e) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 12.02 and 10.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct,
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by
the Borrower or a Lender, and shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of
any condition set forth in Article VI or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or as to those conditions precedent expressly required to be to the
Administrative Agent’s satisfaction, (vi) the existence, value, perfection or priority of any collateral security or the financial or other condition of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or any other obligor or guarantor, or (vii) any
failure by the Borrower or any other Person (other than itself) to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or the performance or observance of any covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein
or therein. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article VI, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder
to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to the proposed closing date specifying its objection thereto. 

Section 11.03 Action by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Majority Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its
opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under
any debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any debtor relief law, and in all cases the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to
act hereunder or under any other Loan Documents unless it shall (a) receive written instructions from the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 12.02) specifying the action 

  
 143 

 
to be taken and (b) be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any
such action. The instructions 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, then 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 11.03; 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.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 12.02), and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to
or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith INCLUDING ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

Section 11.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon
any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon and each of the Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby waives the right to dispute
the Administrative Agent’s record of such statement, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants 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. 

Section 11.05 Subagents. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise
its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding Sections of this Article XI shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of
the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgement that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 

  
 144 

 Section 11.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. 

(a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 11.06,
the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent. 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 gives notice of its resignation as the
retiring Administrative Agent (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the
Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. Upon the acceptance of
its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall 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. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
between the Borrower and such successor Administrative Agent. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XI and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit
of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

 (b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring
Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority
Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 5.03(e) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom
as provided above in this Section 11.06). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article XI and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect
for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the

  
 145 

 
retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents, including (a) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Lenders and (b) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to
any successor Administrative Agent. 
 Section 11.07 Administrative Agent as Lender. The bank serving as the Administrative
Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to
and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 

Section 11.08 No Reliance. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent nor the
Arranger has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent or the Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Arranger to any Lender or the Issuing Bank as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or the
Arranger have disclosed material information in their (or their Related Parties’) possession. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank represents to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and
made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any
other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other Loan Party. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and
(ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender or Issuing Bank for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other
facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a
claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as
may be applicable to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making,
acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. 

  
 146 

 Section 11.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled
and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under
Section 12.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under
Section 12.03. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender
in any such proceeding. 
 Section 11.10 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent
may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.03(a) or Section 5.03(c), each Lender and the
Issuing Bank shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses
(including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the
Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed
to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or 

  
 147 

 
reduction of withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or the Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against
any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 11.10. The agreements in this Section 11.10 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment
of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 

Section 11.11 Authority of Administrative Agent to Release Collateral and Liens. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank, and by
accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Swap Party and each Secured Cash Management Provider, hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to release (or evidence the release of) any Collateral that is permitted to be sold
or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents and to release (or evidence the release of) the GP Pledgor or any Guarantor from the Guarantee Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent 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 Disposition of Property to the extent such Disposition is permitted by the terms of Section 9.12 or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents. 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority
to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release the GP Pledgor or any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.11. The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the
Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by Borrower or any Guarantor in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion
of the Collateral. 
 Section 11.12 [Reserved]. 

Section 11.13 Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the
Majority Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner
purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the
Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which the Borrower or any Guarantor is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the
direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and
shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Majority Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent 

  
 148 

 
or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated
portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such
purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured
Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative
Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any
Disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Majority Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this
Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Majority Lenders contained
in Section 12.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant
Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without
the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid
being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured
Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured
Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above,
each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid. 

Section 11.14 Certain ERISA Matters. 

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from
the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other
Guarantor, that at least one of the following is and will be true: 

  
 149 

 (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of
Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement, 

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption
for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank
collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such
Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, 

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning
of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of
Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or 

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion,
and such Lender. 
 (b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the
immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in
the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the
date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary
with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the
reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). 

  
 150 

 Section 11.15 Recovery of Erroneous Payments. 

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing
Bank (any such Lender, Issuing Bank or other such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately
succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such
Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise,
individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (provided, that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at
law or in equity), the Administrative Agent may not make any such demand under this clause (a) with respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made on or prior to ten (10) Business Days of the date of receipt of such
Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter,
return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and
including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by
the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error. 
 (b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or Issuing Bank, or any Person who has
received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise)
from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its
Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such
Lender or Issuing Bank, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case: 

(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding subclauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made
(absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding subclause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and 

(ii) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and,
in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 11.15(b). 

  
 151 

 (c) Each Lender or Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net
and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Issuing Bank from any source, against any amount due to the
Administrative Agent under Section 11.15(a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. 
 (d) In
the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.15(a), from any Lender or
Issuing Bank that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous
Payment Return Deficiency”), each party hereto agrees that, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the
applicable Lender or Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”). 

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by
the Borrower, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower (or on behalf of the
Borrower) for the purpose of paying, prepaying, repaying, discharging or otherwise satisfying any Obligations. 
 (f) To the extent
permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and each Payment Recipient hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of
set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on
“discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. 
 (g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this
Section 11.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments
and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document. 
 (h) For the
avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.15 to the contrary, the existence of an Erroneous Payment as between the Administrative Agent and any Payment Recipient shall not affect the termination of
this Agreement or the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of Obligations under any Loan Document to the extent that the Borrower (or another Person on behalf of the Borrower) has actually paid such amounts to such accounts
and at such times, in each case as specified in a payoff letter executed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

 (iv) if to any other Lender or the Issuing Bank, to it at its address (or facsimile number)
set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire (including, as appropriate, notices delivered solely to the Person designated by a Lender on its Administrative Questionnaire then in effect for the delivery of notices that may contain material non-public information relating to the Borrower). 
 (v) Notices and other communications sent by hand or
overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours
for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices and other communications delivered through Approved Electronic Platforms, to the extent provided in
paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b). 
 (b) Electronic Communications. 

(i) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications
(including e-mail, FpML messaging, and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to
Article II, Article III, Article IV and Article V unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Borrower may, in its
discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

 (ii) Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (A) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (B) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (A), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that,
for both clauses (A) and (B) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of
business on the next business day for the recipient. 

  
 154 

 (c) Change of Address, Etc. Any party hereto may change its address, facsimile
number, telephone number or email address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall
be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone
number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. 

(d) Posting of Communications. 

(i) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders
and the Issuing Bank by posting the Communications on any Approved Electronic Platform. 
 (ii) Although the Approved Electronic Platform
and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system)
and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the
Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such
distribution. Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution. 

(iii) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS
AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED
ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY
RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY OTHER AGENT, ANY ARRANGER OR ANY OF
THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES, CLAIMS, LIABILITIES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM OF THE LOAN
PARTIES, ANY LENDER, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY. 

  
 155 

 (iv) Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next
sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees
(A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by
electronic transmission and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address. 
 (v) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing
Bank and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative
Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies. 
 (vi) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document. 

(e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall be
entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices and applications for Letters of Credit) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were
incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic
notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 

Section 12.02 Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course
of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any
departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the
Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
  

  
 156 

 (b) Subject to Section 3.03, neither this Agreement nor any
provision hereof nor any Security Instrument nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Majority Lenders or by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Majority Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment or the Maximum Credit Amount of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) increase
the Borrowing Base without the written consent of each non-Defaulting Lender (provided that no Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Borrowing Base may be increased without such Lender’s
written consent), decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base without the consent of the Required Lenders, or modify Section 2.07 in any manner that would increase the Borrowing Base without the consent of each Lender;
provided that (A) a Scheduled Redetermination may be postponed by the Majority Lenders and (B) a reduction of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.07(f) may be waived or reduced with the consent of the
Required Lenders, (iii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, or reduce any other Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without
the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (other than default rate interest provided under Section 3.02(c)(ii) which may be amended, reduced or waived by the Majority Lenders), (iv) postpone the scheduled date of
payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or any other Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any

Section 3.04(c)(iii) which may be reduced or waived by the Required Lenders), (v) change Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata
sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) waive or amend Section 3.04(c)(i), Section 6.01, Section 8.14,
Section 10.02(c) or Section 12.14 or change the definition of the terms “Domestic Subsidiary”, “Foreign Subsidiary” or
“Subsidiary”, without the written consent of each Lender; provided, further, that any waiver or amendment to the terms of Section 12.14, this proviso in this
Section 12.02(b)(vi) or Section 12.02(b)(vii) shall also require the written consent of each Secured Swap Party and each Secured Cash Management Provider, and any amendment or waiver to the terms
of Section 10.02(c) shall also require the written consent of each Secured Swap Party or Secured Cash Management Provider adversely affected thereby, (vii) amend or otherwise modify any Security Instrument in a manner
that results in the Secured Swap Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations secured by such Security Instrument no longer being secured thereby on an equal and ratable basis with the principal of the Loans, or amend or otherwise change the
definition of “Secured Swap Agreement,” “Secured Swap Obligations” or “Secured Swap Party”, without the written consent of each Secured Swap Party adversely affected thereby, or
the definition of “Secured Cash Management Agreement,” “Secured Cash Management Obligations” or “Secured Cash Management Provider,” without the written consent of each Secured
Cash Management Provider adversely affected thereby, (viii) release the GP Pledgor or any Guarantor (except , in each case, as set forth in this Agreement or in the Guarantee Agreement) or release all or substantially all of the Collateral

of this Section 12.02(b) or the definitions of 

  
 157 

 
“Required Lenders” or “Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or
modify any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or any other Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender, (x) subordinate, or have the effect of

foregoing, (A) any supplement to Schedule 7.14 (Subsidiaries), Schedule 7.18 (Gas Imbalances; Other Prepayments), Schedule 7.19 (Marketing Agreements) and Schedule 7.20 (Swap Agreements) shall, in each case, 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, (B) any Security Instrument may be
supplemented to add additional collateral or join additional Persons as Guarantors with the consent of the Administrative Agent, (C) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the
consent of the Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document and (D) the Administrative Agent (or other applicable Credit Party)
and the Borrower may enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or enter into any agreement or instrument to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security

assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with
this Section 12.04. Nothing in this Agreement, 

  
 161 

 
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing
Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 12.04(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions
set forth in Section 12.04(b)(ii), any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment, participations in Letters of Credit and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 

(A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required if such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any other assignee; provided, further that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written
notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; 
 (B) the Administrative
Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment; and 

(C) the Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) provided that no consent of the Issuing
Bank shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment. 
 (ii)
Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate
of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the
date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such
consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (B) each partial assignment shall be
made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 

  
 162 

 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
(x) an Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the
Assignment and Assumption are participants, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent); and 

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the
assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and the Guarantors and their related parties or
their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. 

(iii) Subject to the acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 12.04(b)(iv), from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01,
Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
Section 12.04(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.04(c). 

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Maximum Credit Amount of, and principal amount (and stated interest)
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 (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In connection with any changes to the Register, if necessary, the Administrative
Agent will reflect the revisions on Annex I and forward a copy of such revised Annex I to the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and each Lender. 

(v) Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to
the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, the
assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 12.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment
required by Section 12.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the
assignee shall 

  
 163 

 
have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.08(d), Section 2.08(e),
Section 2.05(b), Section 4.02, Section 12.03(c) or Section 12.04(e) below, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such
Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement
unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 12.04(b). 
 (c) Any Lender may, without
the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion
of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the
sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 12.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 5.01, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under
Section 5.03(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.03(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender and the information)) to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.04 as if it were an assignee under
Section 12.04(b) and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, with respect to any participation, than its
participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells
a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.04(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01(c)
as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, 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 Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the Proposed United States Treasury 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, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

  
 164 

 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this
Section 12.04(d) shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder
or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (e) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with
any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such
additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating
actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor
hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire
(and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any
Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this clause (e), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement
until such compliance occurs. 
 Section 12.05 Survival; Revival; Reinstatement. 

(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had
notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect until Payment in Full. The provisions of Section 5.01,
Section 5.02, Section 5.03, Section 12.03 and Article XI shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 

  
 165 

 (b) To the extent that any payments on the Obligations or proceeds of any Collateral are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the
Obligations so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the 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. 
 Section 12.06 Integration; ENTIRE AGREEMENT; Effectiveness. 

(a) This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Issuing Bank constitute
the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN
THE PARTIES. 
 (b) Except as provided in Section 6.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have
been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 
 Section 12.07 Severability. Any provision
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 12.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank and
each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held
and other obligations (of whatsoever kind, including, without limitation, obligations under Swap Agreements) at any time owing, by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other
Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender, the Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such 

  
 166 

 
obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of such Lender or the Issuing Bank different from the branch office or Affiliate holding
such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so setoff shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for
further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it
exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section 12.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such
Lender, the Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

FROM OBTAINING JURISDICTION OVER ANOTHER PARTY IN ANY COURT OTHERWISE HAVING JURISDICTION. 
 (c) EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE
SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO IT AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 12.01 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. 

  
 167 

 (d) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY (i) IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY

Section 12.10 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only,
are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

Section 12.11 Confidentiality; Material Non-Public Information. Each of the Administrative
Agent, the Arranger, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, its auditors and its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document
or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this
Section 12.11, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or bona fide prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Agreement relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) on a confidential basis to (1) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities
provided for herein or (2) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of identification numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein, (h) with the consent of the
Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.11 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the
Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of the foregoing Persons on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 12.11, “Information” means all
information received from the Borrower, any of its Affiliates, or any of its or their Related Parties or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower’s, any of its Affiliates’, any of its or their Related Parties’ or any Subsidiary’s
businesses, other than any 

  
 168 

 
such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary and
other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of information received from the
Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any of its or their Related Parties or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of
Information as provided in this Section 12.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as
such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that the Information furnished to it pursuant to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates and its or their Related Parties or its or their respective securities, and
confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws. 
 All information, including requests for
waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Related Parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its
Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and
state securities laws. 
 Section 12.12 Interest Rate Limitation. 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 New York
or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement
entered into in connection with or as security for the Notes, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or
received by such Lender under any of the Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Notes shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically and
if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the
Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Notes is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of 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 

  
 169 

 
and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would
thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Lender, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the 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 12.12 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 12.12. 
 Section 12.13 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 TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EFFECTS OF THIS AGREEMENT; THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE THROUGHOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS PRECEDING ITS EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND HAS RECEIVED THE ADVICE OF ITS ATTORNEY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT CERTAIN OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS RESULT IN ONE PARTY ASSUMING
THE LIABILITY INHERENT IN SOME ASPECTS 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 12.14 Collateral Matters; Swap Agreements; Cash Management Agreements. The benefit of the Security Instruments and of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to any Collateral securing the Obligations shall also extend to and be available to Secured Swap Parties and Secured Cash Management Providers on a pro rata basis (but subject to the terms of the Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, provisions thereof relating to the application and priority of payments to the Persons entitled thereto) in respect of Secured Swap Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations. Except as provided in
Section 12.02(b), no Secured Swap Party or Secured Cash Management Provider shall have any voting rights under any Loan 

  
 170 

 
Document as a result of the existence of any Secured Swap Obligation or Secured Cash Management Obligation owed to it. Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with
Section 12.08 or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any
guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.

 Section 12.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the agreement of the Lenders to
make Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue, amend, renew or extend Letters of Credit hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Borrower, and no other Person (including, without limitation, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, any obligor, contractor,
subcontractor, supplier or materialsman) shall have any rights, claims, remedies or privileges hereunder or under any other Loan Document against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender for any reason whatsoever. There are no third
party beneficiaries other than to the extent contemplated by the last sentence of Section 12.04(a). 

Section 12.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA
PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such
Lender to identify, the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. 
 Section 12.17 Non-Fiduciary Status. The arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, and the Lenders are arm’s-length
commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, and the Lenders, on the other hand. The Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to
the extent it has deemed appropriate. The Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; the Administrative Agent, the Arranger
and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates, or any other Person and neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower, or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly
set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower
and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, or any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and
releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 

  
 171 

 Section 12.18 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. 

Section 12.19 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any
Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder
that may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in full
or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 
 (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or
other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by
it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii) the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. 

Section 12.20 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a
guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and
agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations
promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in
fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”)
becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and
any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC
Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and 

  
 172 

 
rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a
proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to
no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of
the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. 

Section 12.21 Releases. 

(a) Release Upon the Release Date. Upon the Release Date, any security interest and any guarantee granted pursuant to the Loan
Documents in respect of the Collateral or the Obligations shall be released; provided that, the Administrative Agent shall take any action reasonably requested by the Borrower in order to effect or evidence the foregoing, in each case,
without recourse or warranty by the Administrative Agent and at the sole expense of the Borrower. 
 (b) Further Assurances. If any
of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise Disposed of by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in a transaction permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of
the Borrower, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Borrower all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created by the applicable Security Instrument on such Collateral. A Guarantor shall be
released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the event that all of the Equity Interests of such Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise Disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement and the
Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Borrower, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Borrower all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence the release of, or otherwise release, such
Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents. 
 Section 12.22 Electronic Execution; Electronic Records;
Counterparts. 
 (a) This Agreement, any Loan Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing,
may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Borrower, on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, and each Credit Party agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any
Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person
enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both
paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper
Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically 

  
 173 

 
signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Each of the Arranger, each Agent and each Credit Party may, at its option, create one or more
copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All
Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved
by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, each of the Arranger, each Agent and each Credit Party shall be entitled to
rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party and/or any Credit Party without further verification and (ii) upon the request of any Credit Party, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by
such manually executed counterpart. 
 (b) Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall be responsible for or have any duty
to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative
Agent’s or the Issuing Bank’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no
liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an
Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for
being the maker thereof). 
 (c) Each of the Borrower, on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, and each Credit Party hereby waives
(i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement and/or such other Loan Document, and
(ii) any claim against any Agent, Arranger, Credit Party and/or any of their respective Related Parties for any liabilities arising solely from any Agent’s, Arranger’s or Credit Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic
Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

conveys all of its rights, duties, liabilities and obligations as the borrower under the Existing Loan Documents to the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably accepts such assignment from KMF Land and agrees to be bound by all of the terms,
conditions and provisions of, and assumes all of the rights, duties, liabilities and obligations of KMF Land as the borrower under the Existing Loan Documents, in each case to the extent amended, restated and superseded in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby with the same force and effect as if originally named the “Borrower” under the Existing Credit Agreement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, KMF Land shall cease to be the “Borrower” thereunder),
(ii) this Agreement shall not constitute a novation, discharge, rescission, extinguishment or substitution of the parties’ rights and obligations as to payment of the “Loans”, “Letters of Credit” and the
“Obligations” (as each such term is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) or evidence payment of all or any portion of any of KMF Land’s or any of the other Existing Loan Parties’ obligations and liabilities under the
Existing Credit Agreement and such amendment and restatement shall operate to renew, amend, modify, and extend all of the rights, duties, liabilities and obligations of the Existing Loan Parties under the Existing Credit Agreement and under the
Existing Loan Documents, which rights, duties, liabilities and obligations as to payment of the “Loans”, “Letters of Credit” and the “Obligations” (as each such term is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) are
hereby renewed, amended, modified and extended, and shall not act as a novation thereof, (iii) the “Loans”, “Letters of Credit” and the “Obligations” (as each such term is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)
shall remain outstanding and be continued as the same indebtedness as Loans, Letters of Credit and other Obligations hereunder and shall bear interest and be subject to such other fees as set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Liens securing
the Obligations under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement and the rights, duties, liabilities and obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors as to payment of the “Loans”, “Letters of Credit” and other
“Obligations” (as each such term is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and the Existing Loan Documents to which they are a party shall not be extinguished but shall be carried forward and shall secure such Obligations and rights,
duties, obligations and liabilities as amended, renewed, extended and restated hereby. 
 (b) Any obligations under the “Fee
Letters” as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and such “Fee Letters” are hereby terminated. Any “Note” as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed for all
purposes superseded and replaced by the Note (if any) issued to the applicable Lender under this Agreement, without further action required by any payee thereof, and all “Notes” under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be of no further
force and effect. 
 (c) KMF Land represents and warrants that, immediately prior to the Effective Date, there are no claims or offsets
against, or defenses or counterclaims to, its obligations (or the obligations of any Guarantor) under the Existing Credit Agreement or any of the other Existing Loan Documents. Borrower represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, there
are no claims or offsets against, or defenses or counterclaims to, its obligations (or the obligations of any Guarantor) under the Existing Credit Agreement or any of the other Existing Loan Documents. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, any Lender may exchange, continue or
roll over all or a portion of its Loans in connection with the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement on the Effective Date and any other refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of
this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender. 

  
 175 

 (e) For the avoidance of doubt, any basket which permits a certain amount of a given type of
transaction over any period of time (however denominated), without being deemed to prohibit any transaction occurring prior to the Effective Date, shall be reset such that such basket provision shall cover only time periods from the Effective Date
until the Maturity Date. 
 (f) For the avoidance of doubt, as of the Effective Date, no Person shall be a party to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document in any capacity other than in any capacity in which such Person executes this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
