Exhibit 4.2
DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

The following description of the capital stock of Earthstone Energy, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is based upon the Company’s third amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”), the Company’s amended and restated bylaws, as amended (“Bylaws”), and applicable provisions of law. We have summarized certain portions of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws below. The summary is not complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by express reference to, the provisions of applicable law and to the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws.

Authorized Capital Stock

Under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), 50,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “common stock”), and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

Class A Common Stock

Voting Rights. Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share held of record on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. The holders of shares of Class A Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

Dividend Rights. Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to ratably receive dividends when and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any prior rights and preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

Liquidation Rights. Upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or other winding up, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably the assets available for distribution to the stockholders after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

Other Matters. The shares of Class A Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights and are not subject to further calls or assessment by the Company. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A Common Stock. All outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Class B Common Stock

Voting Rights. Holders of shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share held of record on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to the stockholders for their vote or approval, except with respect to the amendment of certain provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation that would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Class B Common Stock so as to affect them adversely, which amendments must be adopted by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the shares affected by the amendment, voting as a separate class, or as otherwise required by applicable law.

Dividend and Liquidation Rights. Holders of Class B Common Stock do not have any right to receive dividends or distributions of assets upon dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

Exchange Right. Each holder of shares of Class B Common Stock holds an equal number of membership units (“EEH Units”) of Earthstone Energy Holdings, LLC (“EEH”). In accordance with the terms of the First Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of EEH, each holder of EEH Units (each, an “EEH Unitholder”) generally has the right to exchange his, her or its EEH Units, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock, for shares of Class A Common Stock at an exchange ratio of one share of Class A Common Stock for each EEH Unit (and a corresponding share of Class B Common Stock) exchanged (subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications) or, if the Company or EEH so elects, cash. As EEH Unitholders exchange their EEH Units and Class B Common Stock for Class A Common Stock, the Company’s interest in EEH will correspondingly increase.

Anti-Takeover Provisions
 
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Certain provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws summarized below may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter, or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interests, including attempts that might result in a premium being paid over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions that (unless, as a general matter, a Preferred Stock designation provides otherwise for that series of Preferred Stock):

		
	•
	permit us to issue, without any further vote or action by our stockholders, shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting the series and the designation of the series, the voting powers (if any) of the shares of the series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional, and other special rights, if any, and any qualification, limitations or restrictions of the shares of such series;

		
	•
	require special meetings of our stockholders to be called by an officer of the Company upon the written request of a majority of our Board of Directors; and

		
	•
	our Board of Directors be classified into three classes: Class I, Class II, and Class III, each class having a three-year term of office. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), stockholders of a corporation with a classified board of directors may only remove a director “for cause” unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our Certificate of Incorporation does not so provide and, accordingly, stockholders may only remove a director “for cause.” The likely effect of the classification of the board of directors is an increase in the time required for the stockholders to change the composition of the board of directors. For example, because only approximately one-third of the directors may be replaced by stockholder vote at each annual meeting of stockholders, stockholders seeking to replace a majority of the members of our Board of Directors will need at least two annual meetings of stockholders to effect this change.

Delaware Law

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in the manner, summarized below. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or did own within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:

		
	•
	before the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

		
	•
	upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances; or

		
	•
	at or after the time the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the business combination was approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Section 203 of the DGCL may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions our Board of Directors does not approve in advance and it may also discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for our shares of Class A Common Stock held by stockholders.

These provisions of Delaware law and our Certificate of Incorporation could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our Class A Common Stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interest.

The provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL do not apply to a corporation if, subject to certain requirements, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation contain a provision expressly electing not to be governed by the provisions of the statute or the corporation does not have voting stock listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders.

Because our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws do not include any provision to “opt-out” of Section 203 of the DGCL, the statute will apply to business combinations involving us.

Section 2.9 Co-Branded Account Origination and Product Upgrade.
(a)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2(a), and subject to mutual agreement, Bank may originate new Co-Branded Accounts and issue new Co-Branded Credit Cards to Applicants that qualify for approval under the Risk Management Policies, and shall extend credit to such new Cardholders subject to the Risk Management Policies and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement.  
(i)The origination channels, marketing and disclosures with respect to origination of Co-Branded Accounts, and related procedures, will be as mutually agreed from time to time.  For the avoidance of doubt, Company shall not be required to originate new Co-Branded Accounts at point of sale.

The number of Accounts to be converted from time to time shall in all instances be as mutually agreed.  Accounts will be selected for conversion based on mutually agreed criteria, provided that final selection criteria for Product Upgrades will be a Bank Matter.

(ii)Subject to each Party's rights to change the terms and conditions of Accounts under the Program Agreement: (i) the APR for purchases on a Converted Account at the time of conversion will be [*], and (ii) the other terms and benefits of Converted Accounts at the time of conversion will be [*].

•Two percent (2%) of Network Transactions at merchants identified by Mastercard transaction code as restaurants or gas stations; and

•One percent (1%) of all other Network Transactions.

(b)Company will conduct activation and usage marketing and will actively market the EVP.  Materials relating to the EVP will be Program Materials as defined herein.   
(c)Bank will determine the timing for communication and rollout of the EVP to existing Converted Accounts, and Company will determine the timing for communication and rollout of the EVP to existing Co-Branded Accounts other than Converted Accounts, provided in any event that the EVP will be offered on all existing Co-Branded Accounts.
(d)Bank and Company desire to reflect the cash flow impact of EVP Cost in the month in which the EVP Reimbursement is reflected.  Accordingly, Bank and Company agree that an accrual for unfulfilled EVP (“EVP Accrual”) will be incorporated into the revenue sharing provisions of the Program Agreement on a monthly basis and reflected in the Monthly Statement pursuant to Schedule 8.1.  EVP Accrual will be calculated as follows:  
(i)EVP accruing during the period based on eligible purchases on Co-Branded Accounts; plus 
(ii)if applicable, a reasonable adjustment for the difference between estimated EVP Accrual for the Program Year and estimated EVP Cost for the Program Year due to any minimum fulfillment threshold as described in Section 2.10(f)(i); minus
(iii)if applicable pursuant to Section 2.11(c), a reasonable adjustment for [*]; minus
(iv)the unfulfilled EVP of Co-Branded Accounts closed or charged off during the period; plus or minus
(v)customary accounting adjustments to accrued EVP made in the ordinary course during the period (e.g., returns, processing errors, disputes). 
(e)The Monthly Funds Settlement Report will include an adjustment to eliminate the cash flow impact of the current month’s EVP Accrual included in the revenue sharing provision.  For clarity, it is the intent of the parties that the EVP Accrual shall not impact the monthly cash settlement amount.  
(f)EVP may be fulfilled in the form of a Company closed loop gift card (“EVP GiftCard”), as a Billing Statement credit (“EVP Statement Credit”), or as otherwise mutually agreed.  
(i)As of the Amendment Effective Date, EVP is fulfilled annually in the form of an EVP GiftCard.  The value of each EVP GiftCard will be calculated on a 12-month basis from February 1 through January 31 (the “EVP Program Year”), with fulfillment in the

(ii)Co-Branded Accounts closed for any reason with accrued EVP that has not been fulfilled will forfeit such unfulfilled EVP.   
(g)Bank will reimburse Company for the amount of EVP fulfilled in cash or cash equivalent by Company, including EVP GiftCards and EVP Statement Credits ("EVP Cost”).  Such reimbursement (“EVP Reimbursement") will be reflected in the monthly funds settlement report included in Schedule 8.1 ("Monthly Funds Settlement Report") as a cost of the Program for purposes of calculating Alternative Risk Adjusted Revenue for the month in which EVP is fulfilled by the Company.  
(h)An adjustment to include the cumulative cash flow impact of the EVP Accrual will be reflected in the Monthly Funds Settlement Report for the same month in which the EVP Reimbursement is reflected.
(i)If redemption is in a form other than cash or a cash equivalent, the parties will mutually agree to a settlement process.
(j)Company will provide Bank with standard reporting from the system of record for the EVP program and, if applicable, other documentation to support the calculation of EVP Accrual and EVP Cost, including the monthly and annual settlement and accrual calculations, and to support the audit of Bank's financial statements. 
(k)Company will own the EVP program and the liability associated with the EVP.  Company will be responsible for the design, terms and conditions, and administration of the EVP, and will manage and make all decisions with respect to the EVP, subject to Section 2.11.

In the event EVP Cost for the EVP Initial Construct exceeds the EVP Threshold, the Program Managers will [*]. 
Section 2.11 Changes to EVP.
(a)Company may test modifications to the EVP from time to time provided that such tests are designed to avoid any material impact on the Program.  Company may propose and implement changes to the EVP from time to time in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.4 and Section 3.5.  Prior to implementing a change in the EVP that Bank believes is reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on the Program, credit sales, credit quality or Bank’s economic returns from the Program, Company shall, upon the request of Bank, offer Bank the opportunity to test such change (except to the extent Company determines in good faith that such testing would not be beneficial), for a limited period of time, on a segment of Accounts or region of Stores (as reasonably determined by Company, in consultation with Bank, to be a segment

If Company proposes to make a modification to the EVP, then, unless otherwise agreed by Bank, Company shall deliver all of the following information relating to such proposed modification:
(i)a reasonable description of the proposed modification and Company’s rationale for the proposed modification;
(ii)a forecast reflecting the projected effects of the modification on key Program indicators, including credit sales and credit quality, and the estimated impact to Program profitability of such modification, which forecast shall include reasonably detailed information regarding the factual data and assumptions on which such forecast is based; and
(iii)the results of any testing done with respect to, or other data or analysis supporting, the EVP change.  
(b)In the event a change to the EVP that has been or will be implemented as a Company Matter is reasonably expected to exceed the EVP Threshold, pose a material reputational or compliance risk to Bank, or have a material adverse effect on the Program, net credit sales, credit risk, or Bank’s economic returns from the Program, based on a written pro forma delivered by Bank to Company which incorporates reasonable assumptions, then Bank may, by notice to Company, initiate a thirty (30) day negotiation period (the “EVP Negotiation”).  The EVP Negotiation may be initiated prior to, and must be initiated no later than six (6) months following, the implementation of a change to the EVP as a Company Matter: 
(i)During the EVP Negotiation, the parties shall negotiate in good faith changes to the Program and/or Program economics that are designed to remedy the effect of the EVP change that has been or is to be implemented.

After a party proposes a Program Decision Matter, the Program Managers shall review, meet and discuss the proposal.  The Program Managers shall consult with the Compliance Managers for proposals involving compliance issues, the Risk Managers for proposals involving risk-related matters and the Collections Managers for proposals involving collections issues.  If the Program Managers are unable to agree on any proposal that is a Program Decision Matter, they may determine to continue the Program unchanged or either Program Manager, upon notice to the other, may invoke the dispute resolution process set forth in Section 3.5.  During such dispute resolution process, the Program shall continue unchanged.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) either party may implement a change required by Applicable Law or Network Rules as of the effective date of such requirement (or the date such party determines a requirement of Applicable Law or Network Rules necessitating such change is applicable to the Program or to such party) if such date is prior to completion of the dispute resolution procedures in this Section 3.4 and Section 3.5.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 3.5(c)(xvi), Company in its capacity as servicer following the Closing Date: (A) shall not implement any change as a result of a requirement of Applicable Law or Network Rules applicable to Bank or the Program unless Bank has agreed in writing or the implementation or non-implementation of such change has been determined in accordance with the dispute resolution process set forth in Section 3.5, and (B) shall follow the directions of Bank with respect to the implementation of changes or other measures that Bank is entitled to implement (including as a Bank Matter), including changes to Program or servicing processes or procedures, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.”
