termination or reduction. 
 (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitment;
provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and shall be applied ratably to each Lender’s Revolving Commitment and

Borrower is in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.11 as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which the financial statements and compliance certificate required under

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 41 

 
Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, in each such Revolving Lender’s sole discretion, to provide a portion of such increase in the
Revolving Commitments up to the portion of such increase that such Revolving Lender’s existing Revolving Commitment bears to the aggregate amount of the existing Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders electing to participate in such
requested increase by executing and delivering to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Lender Certificate”). In the event that, within 10 Business Days of the
Administrative Agent’s receipt of such written notice from the Borrower, the existing Lenders fail to provide increases to their respective Revolving Commitments sufficient to satisfy such requested increase in the Revolving Commitments, the
Borrower may adjust the previously requested increase to reflect the increased Revolving Commitments of existing Revolving Lenders or one or more financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent may become a Revolving Lender
under this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a Lender Certificate. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of Lender Certificates representing increases to existing Revolving Lender Revolving
Commitments and/or Revolving Commitments from new Revolving Lenders as provided in this Section 2.03 in an aggregate amount equal to the requested increase (as the same may have been adjusted), (i) the Revolving Commitments (including the
Revolving Commitment of any Person that becomes a Revolving Lender by delivery of such a Lender Certificate) automatically without further action by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be increased on the effective date set
forth in such Lender Certificates by the amount indicated in such Lender Certificates, (ii) the Register shall be amended to add the Revolving Commitments of each additional Revolving Lender or to reflect the increase in the Revolving
Commitments of each existing Revolving Lender, and the Applicable Percentages of the Revolving Lenders shall be adjusted accordingly to reflect each additional Revolving Lender or the increase in the Revolving Commitments of each existing Revolving
Lender, (iii) any such additional Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be a party in all respects to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents to which the Lenders are a party, and (iv) upon the effective date set forth in such Lender
Certificate, any such Revolving Lender party to the Lender Certificate shall purchase and each existing Revolving Lender shall assign to such Revolving Lender a pro rata portion of the outstanding Credit Exposure of each of the existing Revolving
Lenders such that the Revolving Lenders (including any additional Revolving Lender, if applicable) shall have the appropriate portion of the Aggregate Credit Exposure of the Revolving Lenders (based in each case on such Revolving Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of Revolving Commitments, as applicable, as revised pursuant to this Section), and the Borrower shall have paid to the Revolving Lenders any amounts due pursuant to Section 2.17 as a result of such purchase and assignment.

 (b) Replacement Term Facilities. 

(i) With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and any one or more Lenders (including New
Term Lenders) may agree that such Lenders shall make term loans (the “Replacement Term Loans”) to replace the Initial Term Loans made hereafter by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a notice (in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) specifying (A) the amount of the Replacement Term Loans, (B) the applicable closing date for the Replacement Term Loans (each a “Replacement Term Loans Closing Date”),

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 42 

 
(C) the applicable maturity date for the Replacement Term Loans (which in any event shall not be earlier than the Revolving Maturity Date), (D) the amortization schedule for the Replacement
Term Loans, (E) the Applicable Margin and other pricing terms for the Replacement Term Loans and (F) the other terms and conditions of the Replacement Term Loans, which, in each case, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent. The Replacement Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Loans and after giving effect to the issuance of the Replacement Term Loans, the Revolving Commitments plus the outstanding Initial
Term Loans and any Replacement Term Loans (after giving effect to any replacement thereof) do not exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect. No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in the making of any Replacement Term Loans unless it
agrees to do so in its sole discretion. 
 (ii) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which,
with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Administrative Agent, elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with any transaction described in Section 2.03(b) shall
execute a Lender Certificate whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a “New Term Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and
entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, on any Replacement Term Loans Closing Date, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Replacement Term Loans being made on such Replacement Term
Loans Closing Date. Any such deemed amendment may be effected in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto. 

(c) Incremental Term Facilities. 
 (i) With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and any one or more Lenders (including New Term Lenders) may agree that such Lenders shall make incremental term loans (the
“Incremental Term Loans”) by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a notice (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) specifying (A) the amount of the Incremental Term Loans,
(B) the applicable closing date for the Incremental Term Loans (each an “Incremental Term Loan Closing Date”), (C) the applicable maturity date for the Incremental Term Loans (which in any event shall not be earlier than
the Revolving Maturity Date), (D) the amortization schedule for the Incremental Term Loans, (E) the Applicable Margin and other pricing terms for the Incremental Term Loans and (F) the other terms and conditions of the Incremental
Term Loans, which, in each case, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Loans and after giving effect to the issuance
of the Incremental Term Loans, the Revolving Commitments plus the Incremental Term Loans, plus, the outstanding Replacement Term Loans (after giving effect to any replacement thereof) do not exceed the Borrowing Base then in

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 43 

 
effect. No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in the making of any Incremental Term Loans unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion. With respect to any Incremental Term Loans
incurred after the initial Replacement Term Loans Closing Date, the Effective Yield applicable to such Incremental Term Loans will not be more than 0.50% higher than the corresponding Effective Yield on the Term Loans then outstanding (calculated
for both the Incremental Term Loans and the Term Loans then outstanding inclusive of any original issue discount, upfront fees and Adjusted LIBO Rate floors, payable to all applicable Term Lenders), unless the Effective Yield with respect to the
Term Loans then outstanding is increased by an amount equal to the difference between the Effective Yield with respect to such Incremental Term Loans and the corresponding Effective Yield on the existing Term Loans, minus 0.50%. With respect to the
Revolving Commitments, the Effective Yield applicable to the Revolving Commitments will not be more than 0.50% higher than the corresponding Effective Yield on the Term Loans then outstanding (calculated for both the Term Loans then outstanding and
the Revolving Commitments then existing inclusive of any original issue discount, upfront fees and Adjusted LIBO Rate floors, payable to all Term Lenders and all Revolving Lenders, respectively), unless the Effective Yield with respect to the Term
Loans then outstanding is increased by an amount equal to the difference between the Effective Yield with respect to such Revolving Commitments and the corresponding Effective Yield on the existing Term Loans, minus 0.50%. 

(ii) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Administrative Agent, elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with any transaction described in Section 2.03(c) shall execute a Lender Certificate whereupon such New
Term Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, on any
Incremental Term Loan Closing Date, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loans being made on such Incremental Term Loan Closing Date. Any such deemed amendment may be
effected in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto. 
 Section 2.04. Loans and Borrowings. 
 (a) Each Loan shall be made as
part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not
relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Revolving Commitment or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.07(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 eight (8) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.

 (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 Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the
Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving 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
Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving 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 paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation
to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph 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 or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(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 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. 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 on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice;
provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving 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 Revolving Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender
of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving 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 2.08 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.08 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent
of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing
Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving
Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –

 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 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 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 (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, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff
against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving 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 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 consequential damages, claims
in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s 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 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 telecopy) 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 Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC
Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall
reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, 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

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –

reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.14(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving
Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. 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 Revolving 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 2.13(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) 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 (ii) 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 Banks, as the
context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 
 (j)
Cash Collateralization. 
 (i) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing at least sixty-six and two-thirds
percent (66 2/3%) of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in the Cash Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to the total LC
Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral 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 with respect to the Borrower described in clauses (h) or (i) of Article IX. 

(ii) All cash collateral provided by Borrower or any other Credit Party pursuant to the request of the Administrative
Agent in accordance with Section 2.21(c) shall be deposited in the Cash Collateral Account. 
 (iii)
Deposits in the Cash Collateral Account made pursuant to either the foregoing paragraph (i) of this Section 2.07(j) or Section 2.21(c) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
Obligations under this Agreement and Borrower hereby grants a security interest in such cash and each deposit account into which such cash is deposited to secure the Obligations under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 49 

 
including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Cash Collateral Account. Other than interest at the rate per annum in effect for accounts of the same type maintained with the Administrative
Agent at such time and any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be of the type described in clause (b) of the definition of Permitted Investments and shall be made by the Administrative Agent in
consultation with the Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case, such 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 the Cash Collateral 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 (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) or more of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations under this Agreement.

 (v) If the Borrower is required to provide cash collateral pursuant to either paragraph (i) of
this Section 2.07(j) or Section 2.21(c), the amount of such cash collateral (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after (x) in the case of cash collateral
provided pursuant to paragraph (i) above, all Events of Default have been cured or waived and (y) in the case of cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 2.21(c), the date on which such cash collateral is no longer required
pursuant to Section 2.21(c). 
 Section 2.08. Funding of Borrowings. 

(a) 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 12:00 noon to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that, Term Loans shall be made as provided in Sections 2.01(b) and 2.03. The Administrative Agent will
make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to
finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.07(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank. 
 (b) 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 paragraph (a) of this Section 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 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 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

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 50 

 
Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation 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. 
 Section 2.09. Interest Elections. 

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request; provided that all Borrowings on the Effective Date shall be ABR Borrowings. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different
Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. 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) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the
time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.05 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, telecopy or electronic mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with
Section 2.04: 
 (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 clauses (iii) and (iv) below 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
Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar 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”. 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 51 

 If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify
an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. 

(d) 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) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election
Request with respect to a Eurodollar 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 to an ABR
Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is
continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto. 
 Section 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender the then
unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Revolving Maturity Date. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender (i) quarterly installments of $750,000.00 due and
payable on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year beginning September 30, 2013, and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan on the Term Loan Maturity Date. 

(b) Borrower and each surety, endorser, guarantor and other party ever liable for payment of any sums of money payable under this
Agreement, jointly and severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, protest, notice of protest and nonpayment, as to the payments due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and as to
each and all installments hereunder and thereunder, and agree that their liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not be affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment hereof, or in any indulgences, or by any
release or change in any security for the payment of the Obligations, and hereby consent to any and all such renewals, extensions, indulgences, releases or changes. 
 (c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender,
including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (d) The
Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and
payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 52 

 (e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d)
of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall
not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (f)
Any Lender or Participant may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender or Participant a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender or
Participant (or, if requested by such Lender or Participant, to such Lender or Participant and its registered assigns) and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall
at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 11.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and
its registered assigns). 
 Section 2.11. Optional Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole and or in part, subject to prior
notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that (i) any prepayment made at any time a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists shall be applied ratably to the prepayment of Revolving Borrowings to the extent required
to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency and (ii) any prepayment of a Term Loan Borrowings shall be in minimum principal amounts of $10,000,000.00 and increments of $5,000,000.00 in excess thereof. 

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of any prepayment hereunder
(i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. one
(1) Business Day before the date of prepayment. 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 or reduction of the Revolving Commitment as contemplated by Section 2.02, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination or reduction is
revoked in accordance with Section 2.02. 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 2.04. 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 2.14 and with respect to any prepayment of a Term Loan, the prepayment premium, if any, required under Section 2.13(d).

 Section 2.12. Mandatory Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.12(b) and 2.12(c), in the event a Borrowing Base Deficiency
exists, the Borrower shall either (a) within fifteen (15) days after written notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, by instruments satisfactory in form and substance to the Lenders, provide
the Lenders with additional security consisting of Oil and Gas Interests with value and quality satisfactory to the Lenders in their sole discretion to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency, or prepay, subject to the payment of any funding

prepayment eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency), or (b) within fifteen (15) days after written notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, elect to prepay, subject to the payment of any
funding indemnification amounts required by Section 2.17 but without premium or penalty, the principal amount of such Borrowing Base Deficiency in not more than six (6) equal monthly installments plus accrued interest thereon with the
first such monthly payment being due upon the thirtieth
(30th) day after the Borrower’s receipt of
notice of such Borrowing Base Deficiency. Amounts applied to pay the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) shall be applied ratably to pay the then outstanding Loans (both Revolving Loans and Term Loans). With respect to the portion of such
payments applied to pay the Revolving Loans, such payments shall be applied to the Revolving Borrowings in the order specified in Section 2.12(e) and with respect to the portion of such payments applied to pay the Term Loans, such payments
shall be applied to the Term Loan Borrowings in the order specified in Section 2.12(f). 
 (b) If the Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any Borrowing Base Properties at any time (whether pursuant to a Disposition of Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary permitted pursuant to Section 7.03 or otherwise) or a Borrowing Base Deficiency occurs
as a result of any other event described in Section 3.06, the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Borrowings, to the extent necessary to eliminate any Borrowing Base Deficiency that may exist or that may have occurred as a result of such
Disposition or other event described in Section 3.06 on or within two (2) Business Days of the date it or any Restricted Subsidiary receives the Net Cash Proceeds from such Disposition or any other event described in Section 3.06;
provided, that with respect to any such Disposition of Borrowing Base Properties at any time after the Asset Sale Termination Date, any Net Cash Proceeds from any Disposition received by Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in excess of the
amount necessary to eliminate any such Borrowing Base Deficiency may be used within three hundred sixty (360) days after such Disposition to (i) acquire property, plant and equipment or any business entity used or useful in carrying on the
business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and having a fair market value at least equal to the fair market value of the properties Disposed of or to improve or replace any existing property of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries used or useful in carrying on the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or (ii) prepay the Loans in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default exists in which event any amounts

date of such termination or reduction in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and (ii) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Revolving Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, pay 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 2.07(j).

event and on each occasion that any Net Cash Proceeds are received by or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of the incurrence of any Indebtedness after the Effective Date in connection with any Permitted Refinancing of the Term Loans
outstanding on the Effective Date (the “Initial Term Loans”) pursuant to Section 2.03 or otherwise, the Borrower shall, immediately after such Net Cash Proceeds are received by any Credit Party, apply such amounts to prepay the
Initial Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds until such Initial Terms Loans are paid in full. 
 (e) Amounts applied to the prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.12(b) and 2.12(c) shall be first applied ratably to ABR Revolving Borrowings then outstanding and, upon payment in full of
all outstanding ABR Revolving Borrowings, second, to Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings then outstanding, and if more than one Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing is then outstanding, to each such Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing beginning with the Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowing with the least number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto and ending with the Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing with the most number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto and in the
event all Revolving Borrowings are paid in full, any remaining amounts shall be applied to prepayment of Term Loan Borrowings in the order specified in Section 2.12(f). Any prepayments pursuant to this Section shall be without penalty or
premium but otherwise accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.14 and any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 2.17. Amounts applied to the payment of Revolving Borrowings pursuant to this Section

 Section 2.13. Fees and Prepayment Premium. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, an unused commitment fee (the
“Unused Commitment Fee”) equivalent to the Revolving Applicable Rate times the daily average of the Aggregate Unused Commitments. Such Unused Commitment Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days. The
Unused Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the Revolving Maturity Date for any period then
ending for which the Unused Commitment Fee shall not have been theretofore paid. In the event the Revolving Commitments terminate on any date other than the last day of March, June, September or December of any year, the Borrower agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, on the date of such termination, the total Unused Commitment Fee due for the period from the last day of the immediately preceding March, June, September or December, as the case
may be, to the date such termination occurs. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Revolving Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans on the average
daily amount of such Revolving 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
Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate equal to 0.125% per annum on
the average daily amount of the 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 of termination of the Revolving
Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s 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 fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any
other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (c) Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent and J.P. Morgan, for their respective accounts, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter payable to the Administrative Agent and J.P. Morgan and such other fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and J.P. Morgan. 
 (d) With respect to any voluntary prepayment or Permitted Refinancing
of the Term Loans after the initial Replacement Term Loans Closing Date (other than a refinancing of the Term Loans in connection with any transaction that would, if consummated, constitute a Change of Control) with a lower Effective Yield than the
Effective Yield of the existing Term Loans, or 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 56 

 
any amendment (other than an amendment in connection with any transaction that would, if consummated, constitute a Change of Control) that reduces the Effective Yield of the Term Loans, in either
case that occurs prior to the first anniversary of the initial Replacement Term Loans Closing Date and the primary purpose of which is to lower the Effective Yield on the Term Loans, shall be subject to a prepayment premium of 1% of the principal
amount of the Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced or amended. Prepayments made after the first anniversary of the initial Replacement Term Loans Closing Date shall not be subject to the prepayment fee described in this Section 2.13(d).

 (e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or
to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Unused Commitment Fees and participation fees, to the Revolving Lenders. Subject to Section 11.13, fees paid shall not be refundable under any
circumstances. 
 Section 2.14. Interest. 
 (a) The Revolving Loans comprising each ABR Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Revolving Applicable Rate. The Term Loans comprising each ABR Term Loan
Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus 3.00%. 
 (b) The Revolving Loans comprising each Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Revolving Applicable Rate. The Term Loans comprising each Eurodollar Term Loan Borrowing shall bear interest at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus 4.00%. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before
judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, two percent (2.00%) plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case
of any other amount, two percent (2.00%) plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. 
 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments and with respect to the Revolving Loans, on the Revolving
Maturity Date and with respect to the Term Loans, the Term Loan Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or
prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period at a time when no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists), 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 Eurodollar 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.

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 57 

 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, 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, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. 
 Section 2.15. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest
Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent
notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar
Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 Section 2.16. Increased Costs. 
 (a) If any Change in Law shall:

 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; 

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, costs or expense
affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or 
 (iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto
(other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (C) Connection Income Taxes);

 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient
of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Eurodollar 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. 
 (b) 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), 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) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth (i) the
amount or amounts reasonably necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section, (ii) the factual basis for such compensation, and
(iii) the manner in which such amount or amounts were calculated, 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) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the
Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 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 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty (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 2.17. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto
(including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on
the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 59 

 
hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar 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 2.20, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In
the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of
such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to
borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid
were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to
receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower within one hundred eighty (180) days after such Lender incurs such loss, cost or expense and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the
amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 
 Section 2.18. Taxes.

 (a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by or account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan
Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, unless required by any applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined by an applicable Withholding Agent in its sole discretion exercised in good faith) requires the
deduction or withholding of any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent may so deduct or withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of deducted or withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such deduction or withholding (including such deduction or withholding
applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Credit Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 
 (c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, such Credit Party 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.

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 60 

 (d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally
indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.18(d)) that are paid or payable by such Recipient or required to be withheld
or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable 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. The
indemnity under this Section 2.18(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the Recipient delivers to the Borrower a certificate stating the amount of such payment or liability. Such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such
Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders.
Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for (i) any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified
Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s
failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of 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. The indemnity under this
Section 2.17(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of such payment or liability. Such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(f) Status of Lenders. 
 (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments 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 requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such
payments to be made without, 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 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 any 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 2.17(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii) (D) below) shall not be required if in the
Lender’s 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. If any form or certification
previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall update such form or certificate or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in
writing of its legal inability to do so. 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –

 (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), duly completed executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt
from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, if it is legally eligible to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or, if available, an original signed form) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and executed copies (or, if available, an original signed form) of whichever of the following is
applicable: 
 (1) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which
the United States of America is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN 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
Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States of America, IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
Section 881(c) of the Code both (x) IRS Form W-8BEN and (y) a tax certificate substantially in the form of 
Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code(a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”); or 
 (4) in the
case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1, IRS Form W-9,
and/or other 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 62 

 
certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender
are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. 

(C) any Non-U.S. 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 Non-U.S. 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 originals of any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to
enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required by law to be made. 
 (D) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender 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, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under
FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 (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 2.18 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.18), 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 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any 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 to such indemnified party pursuant to the
previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 2.18(g), 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 63 

 
in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.18(g) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less
favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.18(g) shall not be construed to
require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(h) Issuing Bank. For purposes of Section 2.18(e) and (f), the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank. 

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.18 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. 

Section 2.19. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 

(a) 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 2.16, Section 2.17 or Section 2.18, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. 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 at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Mail Code IL1-0010, 10 South Dearborn, 7th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60603-2003, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 2.16, Section 2.17,
Section 2.18 and Section 11.03 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. 
 (b) Any proceeds of
Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower), or
(B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.12) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense
reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank from the Borrower or any other Credit Party (other than in connection with Cash Management Obligations or Lender Hedging Obligations), second, to pay
any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower or any other Credit Party (other than in connection with Cash Management Obligations or Lender Hedging Obligations), third, to pay interest then due and payable on
the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 64 

 
ratably, fourth, to pay the portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, unreimbursed LC Disbursements and payment obligations then owing with respect to Cash
Management Obligations or Lender Hedging Obligations and to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the aggregate LC Exposure to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations (to the extent not
otherwise cash collateralized by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement), in each case, ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, the Lender Counterparties and the holders of any Cash Management Obligations, and
fifth, to the payment of any other Obligations due to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party by any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Credit
Party that is not an Eligible Contract Participant shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations owing to a Lender Counterparty (it being understood, that in the event that any amount is applied to Obligations other than Excluded Swap
Obligations as a result of this clause, the Administrative Agent shall make such adjustments as it determines are appropriate to distributions pursuant to the foregoing clause fourth above from amounts received from Eligible Contract
Participants to ensure, as nearly as possible, that the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to Obligations described in the foregoing clause fourth above by Lender Counterparties that are the holders of any Excluded Swap
Obligations are the same as the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to other Obligations pursuant to the foregoing clause fourth above). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by
the Borrower, or unless an Event of Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period
applicable thereto or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans of the same Class and, in any such event, the Borrower shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16.
The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations. 

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise (including any right of set-off exercised with
respect to a Swap Agreement), obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans
and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their
respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 65 

 
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 set-off 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. 

(d) 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 hereunder 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 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 Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(d), Section 2.07(e),
Section 2.08(b), Section 2.19(d) or Section 11.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent
for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations 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 such Sections, in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative
Agent in its discretion. 
 Section 2.20. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders; Illegality. 

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, 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 or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or Section 2.18, 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) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16,
or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, 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, and consents required by, Section 11.04), all its interests, rights and obligations
under this 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 66 

 
Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans, 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) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment
will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. 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. 
 (c) If (i) in connection with any proposed amendment,
modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires approval of all of the Lenders under Section 11.02, the consent of Super-Majority Lenders shall have
been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a
 “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required has not been obtained or (ii) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender; then, in each case, the Borrower
may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, elect to replace such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, as a Lender party to this Agreement in accordance with and subject to
the restrictions contained in, and consents required by Section 11.04; provided that (x) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing
Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (y) 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). A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply or, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, such Lender
is no longer a Defaulting Lender. 
 (d) If any change after the Effective Date in federal, state, or foreign laws or regulations
or the adoption or making after such date of any interpretations, directives or requests applying to a class of banks including any Lender under any federal, state, or foreign laws or regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court
or governmental or monetary authority charged with its interpretation or administration makes it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Lender shall notify Borrower and Administrative Agent,
whereupon the obligation of such Lender to make or continue, or to convert any Borrowings to, Eurodollar Borrowings, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Borrower and Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such
suspension no longer exist. Before giving any such notice, such Lender shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 67 

 
Lender. If any Lender determines that it may not lawfully continue to maintain any Eurodollar Borrowings to the end of the applicable Interest Periods, all of the affected Borrowings shall be
automatically converted to ABR Borrowings as of the date of such Lender’s notice, and upon such conversion Borrower shall compensate such Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.

 Section 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a)
Fees shall cease to accrue on the Unused Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a). 
 (b) Such
Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which voting is required (other than to the extent expressly provided in Section 11.02(b)) and the Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining
whether the Required Revolving Lenders, the Majority Lenders or the Super-Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder. 
 (c) If any LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i) all or any part of such LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent
(x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 5.02
are satisfied at that time; 
 (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.07(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause
(ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is
cash collateralized; 
 (iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause
(i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13(a) and Section 2.13(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 68 

 (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is
neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.13(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. 
 (d) 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 will be 100%
covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(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 2.21(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 
 (e) 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 Credit Exposure which results in its Credit Exposure being less than its Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate Credit Exposure, then no payments will be made to such Defaulting Lender until such time as such Defaulting Lender shall
have complied with this Section 2.21 and all amounts due and owing to the Lenders has 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 2.21(e), all principal will be paid ratably as provided in Section 2.19(b). 

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

Section 2.22. Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the
Obligations, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void
or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force
as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.22 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.22 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 Section 2.23. Collection of Proceeds of Production. The Security Instruments
contain an assignment by the Borrower and/or the Guarantors to and in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of all of the Borrower’s or each Guarantor’s interest in and to production and all proceeds
attributable thereto which may be produced from or allocated to the Mortgaged Properties. 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, (a) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will neither notify the purchaser or
purchasers of such production nor take any other action to cause such proceeds to be remitted to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, but the Lenders will instead permit such proceeds to be paid to the relevant Credit Party and (b) the
Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds to be paid to the relevant Credit Party so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

Article III 
 Borrowing Base 
 Section 3.01. Initial Borrowing Base. For the
period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the first Redetermination Date, the amount of (a) the Borrowing Base shall be $1,600,000,000 (the “Initial Borrowing Base”) and (b) the Available Borrowing Base
shall be $1,300,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowing Base may be subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to this Article III, Section 6.12 and Section 7.03(a). 

Section 3.02. Scheduled and Interim Redeterminations. Except as set forth in the following sentence, the Borrowing Base shall
be redetermined semi-annually in accordance with this Section 3.02 (a “Scheduled Redetermination”), and, subject to Section 3.04, such redetermined Borrowing Base shall become effective and applicable to the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders on or about April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 2014. In addition, (i) the Borrower may, by notifying the Administrative Agent thereof, elect to cause the
Borrowing Base to be redetermined once between Scheduled Redeterminations, and (ii) the Administrative Agent may (either in its discretion or at the direction of the Required Revolving Lenders), by notifying the Borrower thereof, elect to cause
the Borrowing Base to be redetermined at any time (each such redetermination, an “Interim Redetermination”), in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in accordance with this Article III. 

Section 3.03. Scheduled and Interim Redetermination Procedure. 

(a) Each Scheduled Redetermination and each Interim Redetermination shall be effectuated as follows: Upon receipt by the Administrative
Agent of (A) the Reserve Report and (B) such other reports, data and supplemental information, including, without limitation, the 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 70 

 
information provided pursuant to Section 6.10, as may, from time to time, be reasonably requested by the Required Revolving Lenders (the Reserve Report, such certificate and such other
reports, data and supplemental information being the
 “Engineering Reports”), the Administrative Agent shall evaluate the information contained in the Engineering Reports and shall, in good faith, propose a new Borrowing Base
(the “Proposed Borrowing Base”) based upon such information and such other information (including, without limitation, the status of title information with respect to the Oil and Gas Interests as described in the Engineering
Reports, the existence of any other Indebtedness, the financial condition of the Credit Parties, the economic effect of the Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Swap Agreements then in effect and such other credit factors) 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. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Proposed Borrowing Base (the “Proposed Borrowing Base Notice”): 

(i) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination (A) if the Administrative Agent shall have
received the Engineering Reports and other information required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.10(a) in a timely and complete manner, then on or about March 15th and September 15th of such year following the date of delivery or (B) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the
Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.10(a) in a timely and complete manner, then promptly after the Administrative Agent has received complete Engineering Reports and other information from the
Borrower and has had a reasonable opportunity to determine the Proposed Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 3.03(a); and 
 (ii) 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. 

(c) Any Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved or deemed to have been approved by
all of the Revolving Lenders as provided in this Section 3.03(c); 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 Administrative Agent
and the Required Revolving Lenders (in each Lender’s sole discretion consistent with its normal oil and gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time) as provided in this Section 3.03(c). Upon receipt of the Proposed Borrowing
Base Notice, each Lender shall have fifteen (15) days to agree with the Proposed Borrowing Base or disagree with the Proposed Borrowing Base by proposing an alternate Borrowing Base, and each Lender shall make its determination of the
appropriate amount of the Borrowing Base consistent with each such Lender’s normal and customary 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 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 Administrative Agent and the Required Revolving Lenders, in the case of a 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 71 

 
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 3.04. If, however, at the end of such 15-day period, all of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent and the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, have not approved or
deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, then the Administrative Agent shall poll the Lenders to ascertain the highest Borrowing Base then acceptable to a number of Lenders sufficient to constitute the Required Revolving Lenders or all of the Lenders,
as applicable, and, subject to the approval rights contained in this Section 3.04, such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in Section 3.04. 

Section 3.04. 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 Administrative Agent and the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.03(c), 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:, (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 6.10(a) in a timely and complete
manner, then on or about April 1st and
October 1st of such year, as applicable, following
such notice, or if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.10(a) in a timely and complete manner, then on the Business Day next succeeding delivery
of such notice; and (b) in the case of an Interim Redetermination, on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice. Such amount shall then become the Borrowing Base until the next Scheduled Redetermination Date, the next Interim
Redetermination Date or the next adjustment to the Borrowing Base under Section 3.06 or Section 6.12, 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. 
 Section 3.05. Lenders’ Sole
Discretion. The Lenders shall have no obligation to determine the Borrowing Base at any particular amount. Furthermore, Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders have no obligation to increase the Borrowing Base and that any increase in the
Borrowing Base is in each Lender’s sole discretion and subject to the individual credit approval processes of each of the Lenders which processes shall be conducted in good faith and based upon such information and such other information
(including, without limitation, the status of title information with respect to the Oil and Gas Interests as described in the Engineering Reports, the existence of any other Indebtedness, the financial condition of the Credit Parties, the economic
effect of the Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Swap Agreements then in effect and such other credit factors) as such Lender deems appropriate in its sole discretion and consistent with its normal oil and gas lending criteria as
it exists at the particular time.

(a) Reduction of Borrowing Base Upon Asset Dispositions. With respect to any Disposition described in Section 7.03(a)(viii),
the Borrowing Base shall be automatically reduced, effective immediately upon any such Disposition, by an amount equal to (i) at any time prior to the Asset Sale Termination Date, the Net Cash Proceeds received by any Credit Party with respect
to such Disposition and (ii) at all other times, the Engineered Value of the Oil and Gas Interests Disposed of (as determined by the Administrative Agent and confirmed by the Required Revolving Lenders), and the Borrowing Base as so reduced
shall become the new Borrowing Base immediately upon the consummation of such Disposition, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders until the next redetermination or adjustment of the
Borrowing Base pursuant to this Agreement. Upon any such redetermination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a New Borrowing Base Notice to the Borrower and the Lenders. 

(b) Reduction of Borrowing Base Upon Issuance of Senior Notes. Unless otherwise waived in writing by the Required Revolving
Lenders, upon the issuance of any Senior Notes by any Credit Party in accordance with Section 7.01(h) (other than any Permitted Refinancing that extends, refinances, renews, replaces, defeases or refunds existing Senior Notes), the Borrowing
Base then in effect shall automatically be reduced by (i) at any time prior to the Asset Sale Termination Date, the Net Cash Proceeds received by any Credit Party from the issuance of such Senior Notes, and (ii) at all other times, the
lesser of (A) $250 for each $1,000 in stated principal amount of such Senior Notes on the date such Senior Notes are issued or (B) such other amount, if any, determined by the Required Revolving Lenders in their sole discretion prior to
the issuance of such Senior Notes, and the Borrowing Base as so reduced shall become the new Borrowing Base immediately upon the date of such issuance, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders until the next redetermination or adjustment of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Agreement. Upon any such redetermination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a New Borrowing Base Notice to the Borrower and the Lenders.

 (c) Certain Dispositions. 
 (i) With respect to any Disposition of the Equity Interests of TGGT Holdings pursuant to Section 7.03(a)(x) at any time prior to the Asset Sale Termination Date, the Borrowing Base shall be

(ii) with respect to any Dispositions by any Credit Party of fifty percent (50%) of the undeveloped Oil and Gas
Interests in Area 1 at any time on or before thirty (30) days after the Effective Date contemplated by the KKR Participation Agreement pursuant to Section 7.03(a)(xi), the Borrowing Base shall be automatically reduced, effective
immediately upon any such Disposition, by an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds received by any Credit Party with respect to such Disposition; 
 (iii) with respect to any Disposition of any Oil and Gas Interests pursuant to Section 7.03(a)(xiii) at any time prior to the Asset Sale Termination Date, the Borrowing Base shall be automatically
reduced, effective immediately upon any such Disposition, by an amount equal to (i) the Net Cash Proceeds received by any Credit Party with respect to such Disposition and (ii) at all other times, the Engineered Value of the Oil and Gas
Interests Disposed of (as determined by the Administrative Agent and confirmed by the Required Revolving Lenders); and 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 73 

 (iv) with respect to the immediately foregoing clauses (i) through
(iii), the Borrowing Base as so reduced shall become the new Borrowing Base immediately upon the consummation of such Disposition, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders until the next
redetermination or adjustment of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that the reduction in the Borrowing Base as a result of any Disposition described in this Section 3.06(c), shall not result in the Borrowing Base
being less than $1,200,000,000 if such dispositions occur prior to the earlier of (A) April 1, 2014 and (B) the first Scheduled Redetermination after the Effective Date. Upon any such redetermination, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly deliver a New Borrowing Base Notice to the Borrower and the Lenders. 
 (d) Equity Issuances. In the event any
Credit Party issues any Equity Interests to any Person (other than another Credit Party) at any time prior to the Asset Sale Termination Date, the Borrowing Base shall be automatically reduced, effective immediately upon any such issuance by an
amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Credit Party with respect to such issuance. 
 (e) Asset Sale
Termination Date. Unless otherwise terminated as a result of clause (b) of the definition of the Asset Sale Termination Date, the Borrowing Base will be reduced by the Net Asset Sale Amount on the first anniversary of the Effective Date.

 Article IV 
 Representations and Warranties 
 Each Credit Party represents and warrants
to the Lenders that (it being understood and agreed that with respect to the Effective Date such representations and warranties are deemed to be made concurrently with and after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions): 

Section 4.01. Organization; Powers. Each Credit Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required. 
 Section 4.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each Credit Party’s corporate, limited liability company or partnership powers and have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement and each of the Loan Documents to which a Credit Party is party have been duly executed and delivered by such Credit Party and
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Credit Party, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and
subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –

 Section 4.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do
not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and, after the Effective Date, the filing of this
Agreement and related Loan Documents by the Borrower with, and other required disclosures required by, the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (b) will not violate
any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other Organizational Documents of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture,
agreement or other instrument evidencing Material Indebtedness or a Material Sales Contract binding upon the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be
made by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary not otherwise permitted under Section 7.02. 

Section 4.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. 

(a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders the consolidated balance sheet and related statements of income and cash flows of
the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries (i) as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2012, reported on by KPMG LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and
for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, setting forth in comparative form the figures for the corresponding period of (or, in the case of the balance sheet, as of the end of) the previous fiscal year, all certified by a Responsible
Officer. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with
GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes, in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above. 

(b) Since December 31, 2012, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations, prospects or condition,
financial or otherwise, of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (it being understood that changes in commodity prices for Hydrocarbons affecting the oil and gas industry as a whole do not constitute a material adverse
change). 
 (c) From April 1, 2013 to the Effective Date and except for the Oil and Gas Interests actually acquired in the
Haynesville Acquisition and the Oil and Gas Interests to be acquired in the Eagle Ford Acquisition, the cumulative economic effect of all Dispositions and Acquisitions of the Oil and Gas Interests included in the Initial Reserve Report during such
period is less than five percent (5%) of the Engineered Value of the Oil and Gas Interests included in the Initial Reserve Report. 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –

 Section 4.05. Properties. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.15 with respect to proved reserves included in the Oil and Gas Interests of the
Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all such real and personal property material to its business, except for minor defects in title that do not
interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes. 
 (b) All material leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries are valid and subsisting, in full force and effect, 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 agreement which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) The rights and Properties presently owned, leased or licensed by the Credit Parties including all easements and rights of way, include
all material rights and Properties necessary to permit the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries to conduct their business. 

(d) All of the material Properties of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Oil and Gas Interests, which are
addressed in Section 4.18) which are reasonably necessary for the operation of their businesses are in good working condition and are maintained in accordance with prudent business standards. 

(e) The Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other
intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and such Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, 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. 
 Section 4.06. Litigation
and Environmental Matters. 
 (a) There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if
adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions. 

(b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary to the Borrower’s knowledge (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any
permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any

 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 76 

 (c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the
Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 4.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. The Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable
to it or its Property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its Property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
No Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency has occurred and is continuing. 
 Section 4.08. Investment Company Status.
Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 Section 4.09. Taxes. The Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be
paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate
reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 4.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to
occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of FASB Statement 87) did not, as of the date of
the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $5,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the
assumptions used for purposes of FASB Statement 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $5,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.

 Section 4.11. Disclosure. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or
other restrictions to which it or any Restricted Subsidiary is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the other reports,
financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as
modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) 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; provided that, with respect to the Projections, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 77 

 Section 4.12. Labor Matters. There are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against
the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Borrower and
its Restricted Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other Law dealing with such matters to the extent that such violation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 4.13. Capitalization and Credit Party Information. Schedule 4.13 lists, as of the Effective Date (a) each
Subsidiary that is an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (b) for the Borrower, its full legal name, its jurisdiction of organization, its organizational identification number and its federal tax identification number, and (c) for each Restricted
Subsidiary its full legal name, its jurisdiction of organization, its organizational identification number, its federal tax identification number, the number of shares of capital stock or other Equity Interests outstanding and the owner(s) of such
Equity Interests. 
 Section 4.14. Margin Stock. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary is engaged
principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board), and no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be
used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. 
 Section 4.15. Oil and Gas Interests. Each Credit Party has good and defensible title to all proved reserves included in the Oil and Gas Interests (for purposes of this Section 4.15,
“proved Oil and Gas Interests”) described in the most recent Reserve Report provided to the Administrative Agent, free and clear of all Liens except Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.02. All such proved Oil and Gas Interests are
valid, subsisting, and in full force and effect, and all rentals, royalties, and other amounts due and payable in respect thereof have been duly paid. Without regard to any consent or non-consent provisions of any joint operating agreement covering
any Credit Party’s proved Oil and Gas Interests, such Credit Party’s share of (a) the costs for each proved Oil and Gas Interest described in the Reserve Report is not materially greater than the decimal fraction set forth in the
Reserve Report, before and after payout, as the case may be, and described therein by the respective designations “working interests,” “WI,” “gross working interest,” “GWI,” or similar terms (except in such
cases where there is a corresponding increase in the net revenue interest), and (b) production from, allocated to, or attributed to each such proved Oil and Gas Interest is not materially less than the decimal fraction set forth in the Reserve
Report, before and after payout, as the case may be, and described therein by the designations “net revenue interest,” “NRI,” or similar terms. Each well drilled in respect of proved producing Oil and Gas Interests described in
the Reserve Report (1) is capable of, and is presently, either producing Hydrocarbons in commercially profitable quantities or in the process of being worked over or enhanced, and the Credit Party that owns such proved producing Oil and Gas
Interests is currently receiving payments for its share of production, with no funds in respect of any thereof being presently held in suspense, other than any such funds being held in suspense pending delivery of appropriate division orders, and
(2) has been drilled, bottomed, completed, and operated in compliance with all applicable laws, in the case of clauses (1) and (2), except where any failure to satisfy clause (1) or to comply with clause (2) would not have a
Material Adverse Effect, and no such well which is currently producing Hydrocarbons is subject to any penalty in production by reason of such well having produced in excess of its allowable production. 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –

 Section 6.10. Reserve Reports. 
 (a) On or before March 1 and
September 1 of each year, commencing March 1, 2014, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Reserve Report evaluating the Oil and Gas Interests of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties as of
December 31 of such year and June 30 of such year. The Reserve Report as of December 31 of each year shall be prepared by one or more Approved Petroleum Engineers. The Reserve Report as of June 30 of each year shall be prepared

preceding December 31 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 the Borrower’s or EXCO’s internal reserve engineering staff, which shall certify such Reserve Report to be true and accurate and to have been prepared in accordance with the
procedures used in the immediately preceding December 31 Reserve Report, or prior to the initial December 31 Reserve Report, the Initial Reserve Report. For any Interim Redetermination requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower
pursuant to Section 3.02, the Borrower shall provide such Reserve Report with an “as of” date as required by the Administrative Agent as soon as possible, but in no event later than 30 days following the receipt of such request.

Borrower shall review the Reserve Report delivered in connection therewith and the list of current Mortgaged Properties to ascertain whether the Mortgaged Properties represent at least eighty percent (80%) of the total Engineered Value of the
Borrowing Base Properties (the “Minimum Mortgaged Value”). In the event that the Mortgaged Properties do not represent at least the Minimum Mortgaged Value, then the Borrower shall, and shall cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
grant, within thirty (30) days (or such longer time period as acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) of delivery of the applicable Reserve Report, to the Administrative Agent as security for the Obligations a
first-priority Lien 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –

interest on additional Oil and Gas Interests not already subject to a Lien of the Security Instruments such that after giving effect thereto, the Mortgaged Properties will represent at least the
Minimum Mortgaged Value. All such Liens will be created and perfected by and in accordance with the provisions of deeds of trust, security agreements and financing statements or other Security Instruments, all in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and in sufficient executed (and acknowledged where necessary or appropriate) counterparts for recording purposes. In addition, promptly after entering into any such agreement, the Credit Parties shall, and
shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, collateral assignments of all gathering, handling, storing, processing, transportation, supply,
pipeline, marketing, operating or services agreement with any Affiliate that is not a Credit Party, and (ii) cause each Affiliate to execute and deliver a consent acknowledging such collateral assignments, in each case, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 6.12. Title Data. 

(a) Within 30 days (or such longer time period as acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) after the delivery to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders of each Reserve Report required by Section 6.10, the Borrower will deliver title information in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent covering enough of the Oil and Gas Interests
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, satisfactory
title information on at least ninety percent (90%) of the Minimum Mortgaged Value of the Oil and Gas Interests evaluated by such Reserve Report. 
 (b) If title information for additional Properties has been provided under Section 6.12(a), the Borrower shall, within 60 days of notice from the Administrative Agent that title defects or exceptions
exist with respect to such additional Properties that are not permitted by Section 7.02, either (i) cure any such title defects or exceptions (including defects or exceptions as to priority), (ii) substitute acceptable Mortgaged
Properties with no title defects or exceptions (other than Liens which are permitted by Section 7.02) 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, satisfactory title information on at least ninety percent (90%) of the Minimum Mortgaged Value of the Oil and
Gas Interests evaluated by such Reserve Report. 
 (c) If any title defect or exception identified by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to a notice to the Borrower as described in Section 6.12(b) cannot be cured or the Borrower does not substitute acceptable Mortgaged Properties or the Borrower does not comply with the requirement to provide acceptable title
information covering at least ninety percent (90%) of the Minimum Mortgaged Value of the Oil and Gas Interests evaluated in the most recent Reserve Report, in each case within the 60-day period described in Section 6.12(b), such default
shall not be a Default, but instead the Administrative Agent and/or the Required Revolving Lenders shall have the right to exercise the remedy described in the immediately succeeding sentence in their sole discretion from time to time, and any
failure to so exercise such remedy at any time shall not 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 92 

 
be a waiver as to any future exercise of such remedy by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Lenders are not satisfied
with title to any Mortgaged Property after the 60-day period described in Section 6.12(b) has elapsed, such Mortgaged Property shall not count towards the percentage of the Minimum Mortgaged Value for satisfactory title information and shall be
deemed not to have been included in the most recently delivered Reserve Report, 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 Revolving Lenders to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the requirement to provide satisfactory title information on ninety percent (90%) of the Minimum Mortgaged Value of the Oil and Gas Interests evaluated by the most
recently delivered Reserve Report. This new Borrowing Base shall become effective immediately after receipt of such notice. 

Section 6.13. Swap Agreements. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, the Borrower and any one or more of its
Restricted Subsidiaries shall have entered into Swap Agreements permitted under Section 7.05(a) for notional volumes of Crude Oil and Natural Gas equal to the forecasted production from proved developed producing reserves set forth in the
Acquisition Reserve Reports and satisfactory to JPMorgan, in its capacity as Co-Lead Arranger. The Borrower will , and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, maintain the Swap Agreements described in the immediately preceding sentence and the
Existing Swap Agreements and, except as expressly permitted under Section 7.05, none of the Existing Swap Agreements may be amended or modified, nor may any Credit Party sell, assign, monetize, transfer, cancel or otherwise dispose of any of
its rights and interests in any Existing Swap Agreement without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders (it being understood that any Lender Counterparty may sell, assign, transfer, novate or otherwise dispose of its rights and interests
in any Swap Agreement to any Approved Counterparty at any time). Upon the request of the Majority Lenders, the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Swap Agreement to which the Borrower
or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party to (a) be collaterally assigned to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (b) upon the occurrence of any default or event of default under such agreement or contract,
(i) to permit the Lenders to cure such default or event of default and assume the obligations of such Credit Party under such agreement or contract and (ii) to prohibit the termination of such agreement or contract by the counterparty
thereto if the Lenders assume the obligations of such Credit Party under such agreement or contract and the Lenders take the actions required under the foregoing clause (i). Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall,
within thirty (30) days of such request, provide to the Administrative Agent and each Lender copies of all agreements, documents and instruments evidencing the Swap Agreements not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent and Lenders,
certified as true and correct by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, and such other information regarding such Swap Agreements as the Administrative Agent and Lenders may reasonably request. 

Section 6.14. Restricted Subsidiaries. In the event any Person is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, Borrower will
(a) promptly take all action necessary to comply with Section 6.15, (b) promptly take all such action and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Administrative Agent all such documents, opinions,
instruments, agreements, and certificates similar to those described in Section 5.01(b) and Section 5.01(c) that the Administrative Agent may request, and (c) promptly cause such Restricted Subsidiary to (i) become a party to
this 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –

Agreement and Guarantee the Obligations by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a Counterpart Agreement in the form of Exhibit C, and (ii) to the extent required to comply
with Section 6.11 or as requested by the Administrative Agent, execute and deliver Mortgages and other Security Instruments creating Liens prior and superior in right to any other Person, subject to Permitted Encumbrances, in such Restricted
Subsidiary’s Oil and Gas Interests and other assets. Upon delivery of any such Counterpart Agreement to the Administrative Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by each Credit Party, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor and shall
be as fully a party hereto as if such Restricted Subsidiary were an original signatory hereto. Each Credit Party expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other
Credit Party hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Credit Party that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Credit Party hereunder. With respect to each
such Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent written notice setting forth with respect to such Person the date on which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower, and supplement the data
required to be set forth in the Schedules to this Agreement as a result of the acquisition or creation of such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such supplemental data must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and Majority
Lenders. 
 Section 6.15. Pledged Equity Interests. On the date hereof and at the time hereafter that any Restricted
Subsidiary of the Borrower is created or acquired, any Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or any Affiliate that is not a Credit Party serves as an operator of any Borrowing Base Properties, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (as
applicable) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a Pledge Agreement (or an amendment or amendment and restatement of the existing Pledge Agreement), in form and substance acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, from the Borrower and/or the Subsidiaries (as applicable) covering all Equity Interests owned by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiaries in such Restricted Subsidiaries and in any Affiliate that is an operator of any
Borrowing Base Properties, together with all certificates (or other evidence acceptable to Administrative Agent) evidencing the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each such Restricted Subsidiary of every class owned by such Credit Party (as
applicable) which, if certificated, shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by stock powers executed in blank (as applicable), as Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or appropriate to grant, evidence and perfect a security interest in the issued
and outstanding Equity Interests owned by Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in each Restricted Subsidiary prior and superior in right to any other Person. 
 Section 6.16. Production Proceeds and Bank Accounts. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Mortgages and except for the BG Escrow Account and the BG Operating Account, each Credit Party
shall cause all production proceeds and revenues attributable to the Oil and Gas Interests of such Credit Party and all distributions and dividends on any Equity Interests owned by any Credit Party to be paid and deposited into deposit accounts of
such Credit Party maintained with the Administrative Agent, any Lender or with any other financial institutions acceptable to the Administrative Agent and cause all such deposit accounts at such other financial institutions (other than deposit and
investment accounts the aggregate balance of which does not exceed $250,000 at any time for all such deposit and investment accounts taken as a whole) to be subject to a control agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

to creditors and potential creditors thereof and by not permitting Properties of the Borrower and its respective Restricted Subsidiaries to be commingled with those of Unrestricted Subsidiaries) so that each Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a
corporation, limited liability company or partnership will be treated as an entity separate and distinct from the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 Section 6.18. Credit Ratings. Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a corporate and a credit facility credit rating for each of the Revolving Commitments and the Term
Loans (but not a specific credit rating).

(a) Each Credit Party at its sole expense will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries 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 the Borrower or any other
Credit Party, as the case may be, 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 reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent, in connection therewith. 
 (b) Each Credit Party 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 such Credit Party or any other Credit Party 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. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that any such financing statement may describe the collateral as “all assets” of the applicable Credit Party or words of similar effect as may be
required by the Administrative Agent.

Section 7.05. Swap Agreements. The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into or
maintain any Swap Agreement, except the Existing Swap Agreements, and Swap Agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business with Approved Counterparties and not for speculative purposes to: 

(a) hedge or mitigate Crude Oil and Natural Gas price risks to which the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has actual exposure;
provided that at the time the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary enters into any such Swap Agreement, such Swap Agreement (i) does not have a term greater than sixty (60) months from the date such Swap Agreement is entered into,
and (ii) when aggregated with all other Swap Agreements then in effect (including the Existing Swap Agreements) would not cause the aggregate notional volume per month for each of Crude Oil and Natural Gas, calculated separately, under all Swap
Agreements then in effect (other than Excluded Hedges) to exceed, as of the date such Swap Agreement is executed, (x) one hundred percent (100%) of the “forecasted production from total proved reserves” (as defined below) of the
Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries for any month during the first two years of the forthcoming five year period, (y) ninety percent (90%) of the “forecasted production from total proved reserves” of the Borrower and the

Subsidiaries for any month during the fourth and fifth year of the forthcoming five year period, and 
 (b) effectively cap,
collar or exchange interest rates (from fixed to floating rates, from one floating rate to another floating rate or otherwise) with respect to any interest-bearing liability or investment of any Credit Party.

Natural Gas as reflected in the most recent Reserve Report delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.01, after giving effect to any pro forma adjustments for the consummation of any Acquisitions or dispositions since the
effective date of such Reserve Report; provided that upon the execution and delivery of a purchase agreement, merger agreement or other similar agreement by the Borrower or any 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 103 

 
Restricted Subsidiary in respect of an Acquisition consisting directly or indirectly of Oil and Gas Interests (each, a “Proposed Oil and Gas Acquisition”), so long as the
Revolving Commitments exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure by at least fifteen percent (15%) of the Revolving Commitments at the time of and immediately after giving effect thereto, Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into
Swap Agreements with a term of three (3) years or less which when aggregated with all other Swap Agreements then in effect for the Projected Oil and Gas Volumes included in such Proposed Oil and Gas Acquisition, would not cause the aggregate
notional volume per month for each of Crude Oil and Natural Gas, calculated separately, under all such Swap Agreements then in effect with respect to such Proposed Oil and Gas Acquisition (other than Excluded Hedges) to exceed, as of the date such
Swap Agreement is executed, eighty percent (80%) of the Projected Oil and Gas Volumes for any month prior to the third anniversary of the date such agreement was executed and delivered by the parties thereto until such Proposed Oil and Gas
Acquisition is consummated in accordance with the terms of the underlying purchase agreement, merger agreement or other similar agreement. In the event such Proposed Oil and Gas Acquisition is terminated or cancelled by written agreement among the
parties or otherwise not consummated within 30 days after execution and delivery of such agreement (or such longer period of time as acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), then within five (5) Business Days after such
termination or the end of such 30 day (or longer) period, as applicable, the Borrower shall and shall cause the Restricted Subsidiaries to novate, unwind or otherwise dispose of all Swap Agreements to the extent necessary to be in compliance with
the limitations set forth in clause (a) of this Section 7.05. 
 Except as otherwise required pursuant to the
immediately preceding paragraph, in the event any Credit Party enters into a Swap Agreement (including the Existing Swap Agreements), the terms and conditions of such Swap Agreement may not be amended or modified, nor may any Credit Party sell,
assign, monetize, transfer, cancel or otherwise dispose of any of its rights and interests in any such Swap Agreement without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders (it being understood that any Lender Counterparty may sell, assign,
transfer, novate, or otherwise dispose of its rights and interests in any Swap Agreement to any Approved Counterparty at any time); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Credit Party may enter into a Swap Modification so long as
(i) within three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Borrower provides written notice to the Administrative Agent of the terms of such Swap Modification, setting forth in reasonable detail, (x) the effect of such Swap Modification on
the aggregate notional volume of Crude Oil and Natural Gas subject to the Credit Parties’ Swap Agreements and (y) the amount of Net Cash Proceeds received by such Credit Party as a result of such Swap Modification, (ii) the aggregate
notional volume of Crude Oil and Natural Gas affected by such Swap Modification, together with all other Swap Modifications consummated since the most recent Redetermination Date, does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate notional
volume of Crude Oil and Natural Gas subject to the Credit Parties’ Swap Agreements in effect as of the most recent Redetermination Date, and (iii) the Borrower applies the Net Cash Proceeds received by any Credit Party as a result of such
Swap Modification to prepay the Loans. 
 Each Credit Party and each Lender agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Existing
Swap Agreements are Swap Agreements permitted under this Section 7.05, (ii) as of the Effective Date, the counterparty to each Existing Swap Agreement is a Lender Counterparty (or was a Lender Counterparty under and as defined in the
Original Credit Agreement), (iii) the obligations 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 104 

 
of the Credit Parties under the Existing Swap Agreements are included in the defined term “Lender Hedging Obligations” and such obligations are entitled to the benefits of, and are
secured by the Liens granted under, the Security Instruments and (iv) as of the Effective Date, the aggregate notional volume of Hydrocarbons under all Swap Agreements of the Credit Parties then in effect does not exceed the percentages of
forecasted production from total proved reserves permitted pursuant to this Section 7.05 (calculated as if a Credit Party was entering into a new transaction under a Swap Agreement on the Effective Date). 

Section 7.06. Restricted Payments. The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, declare

Restricted Payment, (d) the Borrower may declare and pay cash dividends to the holders of its common stock; provided that on the date of and after giving effect to any such Restricted Payment, (i) no Default has occurred and is
continuing, (ii) the aggregate amount of such cash dividends declared and paid in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters shall not exceed $50,000,000, (iii) the Revolving Commitments exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure
by an amount equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the Revolving Commitment, and (iv) such Restricted Payment is permitted under the terms of the Indenture, and (e) at any time after the Asset Sale Termination Date, the
Borrower may repurchase outstanding shares of its common stock; provided that (i) the aggregate amount of cash used by Borrower to repurchase shares of its common stock shall not exceed $200,000,000, (ii) on the date of and after
giving effect to any such Restricted Payment, (x) no Default has occurred and is continuing, and (y) the Revolving Commitments exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure by an amount equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of

business at prices and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained on an arm’s-length basis from unrelated third parties, (b) transactions between or among the Borrower
and its Restricted Subsidiaries not involving any other Affiliate, (c) transactions described on Schedule 7.07, (d) any Restricted Payment permitted by Section 7.06, (e) transactions with Unrestricted Subsidiaries consisting of
certain services agreements and secondment agreements pursuant to which any Credit Party provides services and secondees to such Unrestricted Subsidiaries to assist with such Unrestricted Subsidiaries’ operations, (f) the investments
permitted under Section 7.04 (other than any investments made pursuant to clause (o) thereof) and (g) the MLP Transactions.

Subsidiary to create, incur or permit to exist any Lien upon any of its property or assets, or (b) the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to pay dividends or other distributions with respect to any of its Equity Interests or to make or repay
loans or advances to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or to Guarantee Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions and conditions imposed by law or by
this Agreement, (ii) the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions and conditions set forth in the Loan Documents and the Senior Note Documents (or any documents evidencing or relating to any Permitted Refinancing), (iii) the foregoing

by an amount equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the Revolving Commitment. The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into or permit any modification or amendment of the Senior Note

 Article VIII 
 Guarantee of Obligations 
 Section 8.01. Guarantee of Payment.
Each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the punctual payment of all Obligations now or which may in the future be owing by any Credit Party (the
“Guaranteed Liabilities”). This Guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection only. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to exhaust any right or remedy or take any action against the Borrower or any other Person
or any collateral. The Guaranteed Liabilities include 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 107 

 
interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of any jurisdiction at the rate or rates provided in the Loan Documents, or the Swap
Agreements between any Credit Party and any Secured Party, as the case may be, regardless of whether such interest is an allowed claim. Each Guarantor agrees that, as between the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent, the Guaranteed Liabilities may
be declared to be due and payable for the purposes of this Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition which may prevent, delay or vitiate any declaration as regards the Borrower or any other Guarantor and that in the event
of a declaration or attempted declaration, the Guaranteed Liabilities shall immediately become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee. 
 Section 8.02. Guarantee Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Liabilities shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Swap Agreements to
which any Secured Party is a party. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (a) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Loan Documents or
the Guaranteed Liabilities, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any of the terms of any Loan Document or Guaranteed Liability, including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon; (b) any release
or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty or support document, or any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, for all or any of the Loan Documents or Guaranteed
Liabilities; (c) any present or future law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction (whether of right or in fact) or of any agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend, restructure or otherwise affect any term of any Loan Document or Guaranteed
Liability; (d) without being limited by the foregoing, any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or Guaranteed Liability; and (e) any other setoff, defense or counterclaim whatsoever (in any case, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory) with respect to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby which might constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of, the Borrower or a Guarantor. 

Section 8.03. Guarantee Irrevocable. This Guarantee is a continuing guaranty of the payment of all Guaranteed Liabilities now
or hereafter existing under this Agreement and such Swap Agreements to which any Secured Party is a party and shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all Guaranteed Liabilities and other amounts payable hereunder and until
this Agreement and the Swap Agreements are no longer in effect or, if earlier, when the Guarantor has given the Administrative Agent written notice that this Guarantee has been revoked; provided that any notice under this Section shall not
release the revoking Guarantor from any Guaranteed Liability, absolute or contingent, existing prior to the Administrative Agent’s actual receipt of the notice at its branches or departments responsible for this Agreement and such Swap
Agreements and reasonable opportunity to act upon such notice. 
 Section 8.04. Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party on the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Borrower, or any other Credit Party, or otherwise, all as though the payment had not been made. 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 108 

 Section 8.05. Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any rights which it may
acquire by way of subrogation, by any payment made under this Guarantee or otherwise, until all the Guaranteed Liabilities have been paid in full and this Agreement and the Swap Agreements to which any Lender Counterparty is a party are no longer in
effect. If any amount is paid to the Guarantor on account of subrogation rights under this Guarantee at any time when all the Guaranteed Liabilities have not been paid in full, the amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and the
Lender Counterparties and shall be promptly paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured or absolute or contingent, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such
Swap Agreements. If any Guarantor makes payment to the Administrative Agent, Lenders, or any Lender Counterparties of all or any part of the Guaranteed Liabilities and all the Guaranteed Liabilities are paid in full and this Agreement and such Swap
Agreements are no longer in effect, the Administrative Agent, Lenders and Lender Counterparties shall, at such Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or
warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Liabilities resulting from the payment. 
 Section 8.06. Subordination. Without limiting the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Counterparties under any other agreement, any liabilities owed by the Borrower
to any Guarantor in connection with any extension of credit or financial accommodation by any Guarantor to or for the account of the Borrower, including but not limited to interest accruing at the agreed contract rate after the commencement of a
bankruptcy or similar proceeding, are hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Liabilities, and such liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by any Guarantor as
trustee for the Administrative Agent and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Liabilities but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under the other provisions of this
Guarantee. 
 Section 8.07. Payments Generally. All payments by the Guarantors shall be made in the manner, at the
place and in the currency (the “Payment Currency”) required by the Loan Documents and the Swap Agreement to which any Lender Counterparty is a party, as the case may be; provided, however, that (if the Payment Currency
is other than Dollars) any Guarantor may, at its option (or, if for any reason whatsoever any Guarantor is unable to effect payments in the foregoing manner, such Guarantor shall be obligated to) pay to the Administrative Agent at its principal
office the equivalent amount in Dollars computed at the selling rate of the Administrative Agent or a selling rate chosen by the Administrative Agent, most recently in effect on or prior to the date the Guaranteed Liability becomes due, for cable
transfers of the Payment Currency to the place where the Guaranteed Liability is payable. In any case in which any Guarantor makes or is obligated to make payment in Dollars, the Guarantor shall hold the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
Lender Counterparties harmless from any loss incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Lender Counterparty arising from any change in the value of Dollars in relation to the Payment Currency between the date the Guaranteed Liability
becomes due and the date the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Lender Counterparty is actually able, following the conversion of the Dollars paid by such Guarantor into the Payment Currency and remittance of such Payment Currency to the
place where such Guaranteed Liability is payable, to apply such Payment Currency to such Guaranteed Liability. 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 109 

 Section 8.08. Setoff. Each Guarantor agrees that, in addition to (and without
limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Lender Counterparty may otherwise have, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Lender Counterparty shall be entitled, at its
option, to offset balances (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by it for the account of any Guarantor at any office of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Lender Counterparty, in Dollars or in any other
currency, against any amount payable by such Guarantor under this Guarantee which is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Guarantor), in which case it shall promptly notify such Guarantor thereof;
provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such Lender Counterparty to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof. 
 Section 8.09. Formalities. Each Guarantor waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceptance of this Guarantee or incurrence of any Guaranteed Liability and any other
formality with respect to any of the Guaranteed Liabilities or this Guarantee. 
 Section 8.10. Limitations on
Guarantee. The provisions of the Guarantee under this Article VIII are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting
the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guarantee would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability under this
Guarantee, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Lender Counterparty, be
automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”).
This Section 8.10, with respect to the Maximum Liability of the Guarantors, is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent, Lenders and Lender Counterparties hereunder to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under
applicable law, and no Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section 8.10 with respect to the Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that none of the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder shall
be rendered voidable under applicable law. 
 Section 8.11. Keepwell. 

(a) Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds
or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be
liable under this Section 8.11 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 8.11, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under applicable law relating to
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 110 

 
Guarantor under this Section 8.11 shall remain in full force and effect until this Agreement is terminated, all Obligations are paid in full (other than contingent obligations for which no

 Article X 
 The Administrative Agent 
 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 on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 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 any Credit Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. 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, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Majority Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 11.02), and (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 information relating to any
Credit Party that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 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 the Required Revolving Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. 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 the Administrative Agent 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, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other
agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. No Person identified as a Co-Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent, in each case in its respective capacity as such, shall have any responsibilities or
duties, or incur any liability, under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 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. 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.

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –

 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 paragraphs 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. 
 Subject to the appointment and
acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, 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. If no successor 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, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in Chicago, Illinois or New York, New York, or an Affiliate
of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor 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. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.03 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. 

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to release any
Collateral that it is permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. 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 sale or other disposition of Collateral to the extent such

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –

sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms of Section 7.03 or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and Issuing Bank authorize Administrative Agent
to enter into any intercreditor agreement in connection with any Permitted Refinancing permitted by Section 7.01(h).

Section 11.02. Waivers; Amendments. 
 (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and
remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this

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

 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any other provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by

may not be increased without the consent of such Defaulting Lender); 
 (iii) reduce or forgive the principal
amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender other than

 (iv) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Maturity Date,
or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender
(including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) affected thereby (it being understood that waiver of a mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a postponement or waiver of a scheduled payment or date of expiration);

 (vii) change any of the provisions of this Section 11.02(b), 11.02(c)
or the definition of “Majority Lender”, “Required Revolving Lenders”, “Super-Majority Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class)
required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby;

Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender); 
 (ix) release any Guarantor from its obligation under its Guaranty
(except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender);

Revolving Lenders shall be required to fund Revolving Loans when such Lenders would otherwise not be required to do so. 

provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent
or the Issuing Bank hereunder (including the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank under Section 2.21) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Administrative
Agent may also amend Schedule 2.01 to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 11.04. 
 (c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 11.02, the Revolving Lenders, in their capacity as such, and only the Revolving Lenders may, with the consent of Required Revolving Lenders, amend or modify (i) the definition of “Borrowing
Base Usage” and cause such amendment or modification to apply retroactively to a date specified by the Required Revolving Lenders, and (ii) the covenants set forth in Section 7.11.

EACH RELATED PARTY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN “INDEMNITEE”) AGAINST, AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSES,
INCLUDING THE FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY COUNSEL FOR ANY INDEMNITEE, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF (I) THE EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY

CREDIT OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM (INCLUDING ANY REFUSAL BY THE ISSUING BANK TO HONOR A DEMAND FOR PAYMENT UNDER A LETTER OF CREDIT IF THE DOCUMENTS PRESENTED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DEMAND DO NOT STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH
LETTER OF CREDIT), (III) ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED PRESENCE OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, OR ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE BORROWER OR ANY
SUBSIDIARY, OR (IV) ANY ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO;
PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE
JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE. 
 (c) To the extent that any
Credit Party fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank,

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 paragraph (c) of this Section) 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 paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment 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 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 ten
(10) Business Days after having received notice thereof and provided further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a Federal Reserve Bank or central bank having
jurisdiction over such Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 121 

 (B) the Administrative Agent; and 

(C) the Issuing Bank, provided that no consent of the Issuing Bank shall be required for an assignment of all or any
portion of a Term Loan. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, 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 in respect of such Lender’s Commitment and such Lender’s Loans under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to
prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and 

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 For the purposes of this Section 11.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

 “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding
or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that
administers or manages a Lender. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, 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 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 122 

 
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16, Section 2.17, Section 2.18 and Section 11.03). Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.04 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 paragraph (c) of this Section except that any attempted assignment or transfer by any Lender that does not comply with clause (C) of Section 11.04(b)(ii) shall be null and void. 

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a
copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment and Applicable Percentage of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Credit Parties, 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 Credit
Parties, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall
already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, 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 have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.07(d) or Section 2.07(e), Section 2.08, Section 2.19(d) or Section 11.03(c), 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
paragraph. 
 (c) 
 (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, 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 first proviso to Section 11.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein,
including the requirements under Section 2.18(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.18(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its
interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.17 and 2.18 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section; and
(B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or 2.18, 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. 
 (ii) To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.19(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 this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to
disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under
any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the 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. 

(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 without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 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.

 Section 11.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Credit Parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement 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 as long as the principal of or any accrued interest
on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.16,
Section 2.17, Section 2.18 and Section 11.03 and Article X 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 or any provision hereof. 

Section 11.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by
different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable
to the Administrative Agent and J.P. Morgan constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. Except as provided in Section 5.01, 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. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 Section 11.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement 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; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such
provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 11.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, each Lender and each of its 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 at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of any Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement
held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section and Section 8.08 are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

 Section 11.11. 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 11.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, 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 (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be

any Credit Party; provided that, in the case of information received from any Credit Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the

Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 Section 11.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan
hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit accounts (formerly Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann. Art. 5069,
Ch. 15)) shall not apply to this Agreement or to any Loan, nor shall this Agreement or any Loan be governed by or be subject to the provisions of such Chapter 346 in any manner whatsoever. 

Section 11.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which
information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably requires to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and
regulations, including the Act. 
 Section 11.15. Original Credit Agreement. Upon the Effective Date, this Agreement
shall supersede and replace in its entirety the Original Credit Agreement; provided, however, that (a) all loans, letters of credit, and other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities outstanding under the Original Credit
Agreement on such date shall continue to constitute Loans, Letters of Credit and other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under this Agreement, (b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents hereunder shall
not constitute a novation, refinancing or any other fundamental change in the relationship among the parties and (c) the Loans, Letters of Credit, and other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities outstanding hereunder, to the extent
outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement immediately prior to the date hereof, shall constitute the same loans, letters of credit, and other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities as were outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement.

 Section 11.16. Reaffirmation and Grant of Security Interest. Each Credit Party hereby (i) confirms that each
Security Instrument (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) to which it is a party or is otherwise bound and all Collateral encumbered thereby, will continue to guarantee or secure, as the case may be, to the fullest extent possible in
accordance with the Loan Documents, and regardless of whether any Guarantor under this Agreement was a “Borrower” under either of the Original Credit Agreement, the payment and performance of all Obligations and Guaranteed Liabilities
under this Agreement and the Secured Indebtedness (as such term is defined in the Mortgages) under the Mortgages, as the case may be, and (ii) reaffirms its grant to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of a
continuing Lien on and security interest in and to such Credit Party’s right, title and interest in, to and under all 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 128 

 
Collateral as collateral security for the prompt payment and performance in full when due of the Obligations and Guaranteed Liabilities under this Agreement and the Secured Indebtedness under the
Mortgages (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms thereof. 

Section 11.17. Reallocation of Commitments and Loans. The Lenders have agreed among themselves to reallocate their respective
Commitments as contemplated by this Agreement and to adjust their interests in the Revolving Commitment and the Loans accordingly. On the Effective Date and after giving effect to such reallocation and adjustment of the Commitment, the Revolving
Commitment and Applicable Percentage of each Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.01 and each Lender shall own its Applicable Percentage of the outstanding Loans. The reallocation and adjustment to the Revolving Commitments of each Lender as
contemplated by this Section 11.17 shall be deemed to have been consummated pursuant to the terms of the Assignment and Assumption attached as Exhibit A hereto as if each of the Lenders had executed an Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such reallocation and adjustment. The Borrower and Administrative Agent hereby consent to such reallocation and adjustment of the Revolving Commitments. The Administrative Agent hereby waives the $3,500 processing and recordation fee set forth in
Section 11.04(b)(ii)(C) with respect to the assignments and reallocations of the Revolving Commitments contemplated by this Section 11.17. To the extent requested by any Lender, and in accordance with Section 2.17, the Borrower shall
pay to such Lender, within the time period prescribed by Section 2.17, any amounts required to be paid by the Borrower under Section 2.17 in the event the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or the conversion of any Eurodollar
Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto is required in connection with the reallocation contemplated by this Section 11.17. 
 Section 11.18. Flood Insurance Regulation. Notwithstanding any provision in any Mortgage 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 Properties” and no Building or Manufactured (Mobile) Home shall be encumbered by any such Mortgage. As used
herein, “Flood Insurance Regulations” shall mean (i) the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 as now or hereafter in effect or any successor statute thereto, (ii) the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 as now or hereafter in
effect or any successor statue thereto, (iii) the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (amending 42 USC 4001, et seq.), as the same may be amended or recodified from time to time, and (iv) the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004 and
any regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 Section 11.19. No Fiduciary Duty. In connection with all aspects of each
transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower and each other Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging
and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Co-Lead Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agent (collectively, the “Agents”) and the Lenders and their Affiliates
(collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 11.19, the “Lenders”) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, each other Credit Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and
the Administrative Agent, the other Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties has consulted its own legal, 

  
 EXCO CREDIT AGREEMENT –
Page 129 

 
accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower and each other Credit Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the
terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, each other Agent 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, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the
Administrative Agent, any other Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the other Agents 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, the other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, any other Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their
respective Affiliates. The Lenders may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Credit Party, for itself and on behalf of its
Subsidiaries, agrees that nothing in this Agreement or the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and any Credit
Party or its Subsidiaries, their stockholders or their affiliates, on the other. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the
Administrative Agent, the other Agents 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. Each Credit Party, for itself and its Subsidiaries,
agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party or Subsidiary, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 QLOGIC CORPORATION 
 1998 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

 (Amended and Restated Effective May 23, 2013) 

This 1998 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN (the “Plan”) was established by QLOGIC CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation, on the 9th day of April, 1998 and
became effective on the “Effective Date.” The Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth herein, effective May 23, 2013. 
 ARTICLE 1 
 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN 

1.1 Purpose. The Company has determined that it is in its best interest to provide incentives
to attract and retain employees and to increase employee morale by providing a program through which employees of the Company, and of such of the Company’s Subsidiaries as the Company’s Board of Directors may from time to time designate
(each a “Designated Subsidiary,” and collectively, “Designated Subsidiaries”) may acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of shares of the common stock of the Company (“Company Stock”). The
Plan is hereby established by the Company to permit employees to subscribe for and purchase directly from the Company shares of the Company Stock at a discount from the market price, and to pay the purchase price in installments by payroll
deductions. The Plan is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”). The provisions of the Plan are to be
construed in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. The Plan is not intended to be an employee benefit plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and therefore is not required to comply with
that Act.  
 ARTICLE 2 
 DEFINITIONS 
 2.1 Administrator.
“Administrator” shall refer to the committee of the Board of Directors of the Company appointed to administer the Plan, and if no such committee has been appointed, the term Administrator shall mean the Board of Directors. 

 2.2 Company. “Company” means QLogic Corporation, a Delaware corporation.

 2.3 Compensation. “Compensation” includes salary, annual bonus/incentive
paid in cash, annual profit sharing, overtime, lead premium, commissions and shift differential, but expressly excludes other forms of compensation such as relocation, housing, car allowances, phone allowances, sign-on bonuses, referral bonuses and
non-cash incentives. 
 2.4 Effective Date. “Effective Date” means
November 2, 1998. 

 2.5 Employee. “Employee” means each person currently
employed by the Company or any of its Designated Subsidiaries. 
 2.6 Grant Date. “Grant
Date” means the first day of each Offering Period under the Plan. 
 2.7 Offering
Period. “Offering Period” means (1) the four-month period from May 1, 2013 through August 31, 2013, and (2) each period of three consecutive months thereafter (such periods to commence
on each September 1, December 1, March 1 and June 1); provided, however, that the Administrator may declare, as it deems appropriate and in advance of the applicable Offering Period, a shorter (not to be less than three
months) Offering Period or a longer (not to exceed 27 months) Offering Period.  
 2.8
5% Owner. “5% Owner” means an Employee who, immediately after the grant of any rights under the Plan, would own stock (within the meaning of Section 423(b)(3) of the Code) possessing 5% or more of the total
combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company, or of any Parent, or of any Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section, the ownership attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply, and stock which the Employee
may purchase under outstanding options shall be treated as stock owned by the Employee. 
 2.9
Parent. “Parent” means any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken chain of corporations ending with the Company in which each corporation (other than the Company) owns shares possessing 50% or more of
the total combined voting power of all classes of shares in one or more of the other corporations in the chain. 

2.10 Participant. “Participant” means an Employee who has satisfied the eligibility
requirements of Section 3.1 and has become a participant in the Plan in accordance with Section 3.2. 

2.11 Purchase Date. “Purchase Date” means the last day of each Offering Period. 

2.12 Subsidiary. “Subsidiary” means any corporation (other than the Company) in an
unbroken chain of corporations (beginning with the Company) in which each corporation (other than the last corporation) owns shares possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares in one or more of the other
corporations in the chain. 
 ARTICLE 3 

ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION 
 3.1 Eligibility. Each Employee of the Company, or any Designated Subsidiary, whose customary employment is for more than 20 hours per week and more than five
months in a calendar year may become a Participant in the Plan on the Grant Date coincident with or next following the Employee’s satisfaction of the requirements of Section 3.2. 

3.2 Participation. An Employee who has satisfied the eligibility requirements of
Section 3.1 may become a Participant in the Plan upon his completion and delivery to the Administrator of the Company of a stock purchase agreement provided by the Company (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) authorizing payroll
deductions. Payroll deductions for a Participant shall  

  
 2 

 
commence on the Grant Date coincident with or next following the filing of the Participant’s Stock Purchase Agreement and shall remain in effect until revoked by the Participant by the
filing of a notice of withdrawal from the Plan under Article 8 or by the filing of a new Stock Purchase Agreement providing for a change in the Participant’s payroll deduction rate under Section 5.2. 

3.3 Special Rules. Under no circumstances shall: 

a. an option to purchase Company Stock under the Plan be granted to a Participant if the exercise of such option would cause the
Participant to be a 5% Owner; 
 b. an option to purchase Company Stock under the Plan be granted to a Participant if such
option would cause the Participant to have rights to purchase Company Stock under the Plan (and under any other employee stock purchase plan of the Company, any Parent or any Subsidiary which is qualified under Section 423 of the Code) which
accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of the Company Stock (determined at the time the right to purchase such Company Stock is granted, before giving effect to any discounted purchase price under any such plan) for each
calendar year in which such right is outstanding at any time, as this rule is applied under Section 423 of the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; or 

c. the number of shares of Company Stock purchasable by a Participant in any Offering Period exceed 10,000 shares, subject to periodic
adjustments under Section 10.4. 
 For purposes of the foregoing, a right to purchase Company Stock accrues when it first becomes
exercisable during the calendar year. If any amount which exceeds the limits set forth in this Section 3.3 remains in the Participant’s Account after the exercise of the Participant’s option on the Purchase Date, such amount shall be
refunded to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable after such date. 
 ARTICLE 4 

OFFERING PERIODS 
 4.1 Offering Periods. The Plan shall provide for Offering Periods commencing on each Grant Date and terminating on the next following Purchase Date.

 ARTICLE 5 
 PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS 
 5.1 Participant
Election. Upon completion of the Stock Purchase Agreement, each Participant shall designate the amount of payroll deductions to be made from his or her paycheck to purchase Company Stock under the Plan. The amount of payroll deductions
shall be designated in whole percentages of Compensation, not to exceed a maximum of 10%, which maximum percentage may be increased or decreased from time to time in the discretion of the Administrator effective with the Offering Period next
commencing after the date of such increase or decrease, but in no event shall the maximum amount be increased to an amount in excess of 15% of Compensation. The amount so designated upon the Stock Purchase Agreement shall be effective as of the next
Grant  

  
 3 

 
Date and shall continue in effect for the Offering Period commencing on such Grant Date and, unless otherwise expressly provided by the Administrator, all subsequent Offering Periods until the
Participant is no longer eligible to participate in the Plan or terminates or alters such Stock Purchase Agreement in accordance with Section 5.2 below. 
 5.2 Changes in Election. Any Participant may change any election (increase or decrease the rate of payroll deductions) under this Section one time during any
Offering Period by completing and delivering to the Administrator a new Stock Purchase Agreement setting forth the desired change at least 15 days prior to the end of the Offering Period. A Participant may terminate participation in the Plan at any
time prior to the close of an Offering Period as provided in Article 8. A Participant may also terminate payroll deductions and have accumulated deductions for the then current Offering Period applied to the purchase of Company Stock as of the
Purchase Date for that Offering Period by completing and delivering to the Administrator a new Stock Purchase Agreement setting forth the desired change. Any change under this Section shall become effective on the next payroll period (to the extent
practical under the Company’s payroll practices) following the delivery of the new Stock Purchase Agreement.  
 5.3 Participant Accounts. The Company shall establish and maintain a separate account (“Account”) for each Participant. The amount of each
Participant’s payroll deductions shall be credited to his Account. No interest will be paid or allowed on amounts credited to a Participant’s Account. All payroll deductions received by the Company under the Plan are general corporate
assets of the Company and may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose. The Company is not obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.  
 ARTICLE 6 
 GRANT OF OPTION 

6.1 Option to Purchase Shares. On each Grant Date, each Participant shall be granted an option
to purchase at the price determined under Section 6.2 that number of whole shares of Company Stock that can be purchased or issued by the Company based upon that price with the amounts held in his Account, subject to the limits set forth in
Section 3.3. In the event that there are amounts held in a Participant’s Account that are not used to purchase Company Stock (except for amounts required to be returned under Section 3.3), such amounts shall remain in the
Participant’s Account and shall be eligible to purchase Company Stock in the next subsequent Offering Period.  
 6.2 Purchase Price. The purchase price for any Offering Period shall be the lesser of: 
 a. 85% of the Fair Market Value of Company Stock on the Grant Date; or 
 b. 85% of
the Fair Market Value of Company Stock on the Purchase Date. 
 6.3 Fair Market Value. “Fair
Market Value” shall mean the value of one share of Company Stock, determined as follows: 
 a. If the Company Stock is then
listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange, the Fair Market Value shall be the closing sale price of the Company Stock on the date of valuation on the principal national securities exchange on which the Company Stock is

  
 4 

 
then listed or admitted to trading, or, if there is no trading of the Company Stock on such date, the Fair Market Value shall be the closing sale price of the Company Stock on such principal
national securities exchange on the next preceding day on which there was trading in the Company Stock. 
 b. If the Company
Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange on the valuation date, the Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Administrator in good faith using any reasonable method of valuation, which determination shall be
conclusive and binding on all interested parties. 
 ARTICLE 7  

PURCHASE OF STOCK 
 7.1 Exercise of Option. 
 a. On each Purchase Date,
the Participant will be deemed to exercise the option expiring on that Purchase Date. Notwithstanding the above, a Participant may direct the Company not to purchase Company Stock on the Purchase Date in accordance with Section 8.1, in which
case any amount in the Participant’s Account shall be refunded to the Participant as provided in Section 8.1. 
 b.
Upon exercise of an option, the Plan shall purchase on behalf of each Participant the maximum number of whole shares of Company Stock subject to such option at the option price determined under Section 6.2 above as can be purchased with the
amounts held in each Participant’s Account. Any amounts remaining in a Participant’s Account as a result of the requirement that no fractional shares may be purchased shall be held in the Participant’s Account and carried forward for
the rest of the Offering Period or to the next Offering Period. 
 7.2 Delivery of Company
Stock. The time of issuance and delivery of the shares may be postponed for such period as may be necessary to comply with the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the listing requirements of any
securities exchange on which the Company Stock may then be listed, or the requirements under other laws or regulations applicable to the issuance or sale of such shares. 

ARTICLE 8 

WITHDRAWAL 
 8.1 In Service Withdrawals. At any time prior to the Purchase Date of an Offering Period (subject to any deadline the Administrator may establish for the relevant
Offering Period prior to the Grant Date for such Offering Period), any Participant may withdraw the amounts held in his Account by executing and delivering to the Administrator a written notice of withdrawal on the form provided by the Company. In
such a case, the entire balance of the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant, without interest, as soon as is practicable. Upon such notification, the Participant shall cease to participate in the Plan for the remainder of the
Offering Period in which the notice is given. A reduction in contributions to zero during any Offering Period with an instruction to hold the funds in a Participant’s Account to purchase shares on the Purchase Date of the Offering Period shall
not be deemed a withdrawal. Any Employee who has withdrawn under this Section  

  
 5 

 
shall be excluded from participation in the Plan for the remainder of the Offering Period in which the withdrawal occurred and the next succeeding Offering Period, but may then be reinstated as a
Participant thereafter by executing and delivering a new Stock Purchase Agreement to the Administrator. 
 8.2
Termination of Employment. 
 a. In the event that a Participant’s employment with the Company
terminates for any reason, the Participant shall cease to participate in the Plan on the date of termination. As soon as is practical following the date of termination, the entire balance of the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the
Participant or his beneficiary in cash, without interest. For purposes of the Plan, if a Designated Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company, each person employed by that Designated Subsidiary will be deemed to have terminated employment
for purposes of the Plan, unless the person continues as an employee of the Company or another Designated Subsidiary. 
 b. A
Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares of Company Stock purchased under the Plan or any cash from the Participant’s Account in the event of his or her death subsequent to a Purchase Date, but
prior to delivery of such shares or cash. In addition, a Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the Participant’s Account under the Plan in the event of his death prior to a Purchase Date
under paragraph (a) above. If a Participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not solely his or her spouse, spousal consent shall be required for such designation to be effective unless it is established (to the satisfaction of the
Administrator or its delegate) that there is no spouse or that the spouse cannot be located. 
 c. Any beneficiary designation
under paragraph (b) above may be changed by the Participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a Participant, the Administrator may rely upon the most recent beneficiary designation it has on file as being the
appropriate beneficiary. In the event of the death of a Participant where no valid beneficiary designation exists or the beneficiary has predeceased the Participant, the Administrator shall deliver any cash or shares of Company Stock to the executor
or administrator of the estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed to the knowledge of the Administrator, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may deliver such shares of Company Stock or cash to the
spouse or any one or more dependents or relatives of the Participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Administrator, then to such other person as the Administrator may designate. 

ARTICLE 9  
 PLAN ADMINISTRATION 
 9.1 Plan
Administration. 
 a. Authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan shall be vested
in the Board of Directors (the “Board”) for the Company, or a committee (“Committee”) thereof. Members of the Committee may be appointed from time to time by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board. As used herein, the
term “Administrator” shall mean the Board or, with respect to any matter as to which responsibility has been delegated to the Committee, the term Administrator shall mean the Committee. The initial Administrator of the Plan shall be the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Administrator shall have all powers necessary to supervise the administration of the Plan and control its operations. 

  
 6 

 b. In addition to any powers and authority conferred on the Administrator elsewhere in the
Plan or by law, the Administrator shall have the following powers and authority: 
 (i) To designate agents to carry out
responsibilities relating to the Plan; 
 (ii) To administer, interpret, construe and apply this Plan and to answer all
questions which may arise or which may be raised under this Plan by a Participant, his or her beneficiary or any other person whatsoever; 
 (iii) To establish rules and procedures from time to time for the conduct of its business and for the administration and effectuation of its responsibilities under the Plan; and 

(iv) To perform or cause to be performed such further acts as it may deem to be necessary, appropriate, or convenient for the operation
of the Plan. 
 c. Any action taken in good faith by the Administrator in the exercise of authority conferred upon it by this
Plan shall be conclusive and binding upon a Participant and his beneficiaries. All discretionary powers conferred upon the Administrator shall be absolute. 
 9.2 Limitation on Liability. No Employee of the Company nor member of the Board or Committee shall be subject to any liability with respect to his or her duties
under the Plan unless the person acts fraudulently or in bad faith. To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each member of the Board or Committee, and any other Employee of the Company with duties under the Plan who was or is a
party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the person’s conduct in the performance of his duties under the Plan.

 9.3 Sub-Plans. The Administrator has discretion to adopt any rules
regarding administration of the Plan to conform to local laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of payroll deductions, payment of interest
and handling of share certificates which vary according to local requirements. The Administrator has the authority to suspend or limit participation in the Plan by employees of any particular Subsidiary of the Company for any reason, including
administrative or economic reasons. The Administrator may also adopt rules, procedures or sub-plans applicable to particular Subsidiaries or locations, which sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Section 423 of the Code.

 9.4 Reliance on Experts Delegation. In making any
determination or in taking or not taking any action under the Plan, the Committee or the Board, as the case may be, may obtain and may rely upon the advice of experts, including professional advisors to the Company. No director, officer or agent of
the Company or any Designated Subsidiary shall be liable for any such action or determination taken or made or omitted in good faith. The Administrator may delegate ministerial, non-discretionary functions to individuals who are officers or
employees of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary. 

  
 7 

 ARTICLE 10 

COMPANY STOCK 
 10.1 Limitations on Purchase of Shares. The maximum number of shares of Company Stock that shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be 9,000,000
shares, subject to adjustment under Section 10.4 below. The shares of Company Stock to be sold to Participants under the Plan will be issued by the Company. If the total number of shares of Company Stock that would otherwise be issuable
pursuant to rights granted pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Plan at the Purchase Date exceeds the number of shares then available under the Plan, the Administrator shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining available in as uniform
and equitable manner as is practicable. In such event, the Administrator shall give written notice of such reduction of the number of shares to each Participant affected thereby and any unused payroll deductions shall be returned to such Participant
if necessary.  
 10.2 Voting Company Stock. The Participant will have
no interest or voting right in shares to be purchased under Section 6.1 of the Plan until such shares have been actually delivered to and held of record by the Participant. 

10.3 Registration of Company Stock. Shares to be delivered to a Participant under the Plan will
be registered in the name of the Participant unless designated otherwise by the Participant.  

10.4 Changes in Capitalization of the Company. Subject to any required action by the
stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Company Stock covered by each right under the Plan which has not yet been exercised and the number of shares of Company Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but have not
yet been placed under rights or which have been returned to the Plan upon the cancellation of a right, as well as the purchase price per share of Company Stock covered by each right under the Plan which has not yet been exercised, shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Company Stock resulting from a stock split, stock dividend, spin-off, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares or the like.
Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible
into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Company Stock subject to any option granted hereunder. 

10.5 Merger of Company. In the event that the Company at any time proposes to merge into,
consolidate with or enter into any other reorganization pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving entity (including the sale of substantially all of its assets or a “reverse” merger in which the Company is the surviving entity),
the Plan and each then outstanding option hereunder shall terminate, unless provision is made in writing in connection with such transaction for the continuance of the Plan and for the assumption of outstanding options theretofore granted, or the
substitution for such outstanding options of new options covering the shares of a successor corporation, with appropriate adjustments as to number and kind of shares and prices, in which event the Plan and the outstanding options theretofore granted
or the new options substituted therefor, shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided. If such provision is not made in such transaction for the continuance of the Plan and the assumption of the outstanding options theretofore
granted or the substitution for such outstanding options of new options covering the shares of a  

  
 8 

 
successor corporation, then the Administrator shall cause written notice of the proposed transaction to be given to the persons holding then-outstanding options not less than 10 days prior to the
anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction, and, concurrent with the effective date of the proposed transaction, such outstanding options shall be exercised automatically in accordance with Section 7.1 as if such effective date were
the Purchase Date of the applicable Offering Period unless a Participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 8.1. The Administrator may provide in each case that the transactions contemplated by this Section 10.5 are contingent
upon the consummation of the proposed merger, consolidation or other reorganization event and provide for the reinstatement of the Plan and outstanding options and the continuation of the Offering Period then in effect in the event that such
consummation does not occur. 
 ARTICLE 11 
 MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS 
 11.1 Amendment
and Termination. The Plan shall terminate on May 23, 2023. Since future conditions affecting the Company cannot be anticipated or foreseen, the Company reserves the right to amend, modify, or terminate the Plan at any time. Upon
termination of the Plan, all benefits shall become payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment or termination shall affect rights previously granted, nor may an amendment make any change in any right previously granted
which adversely affects the rights of any Participant without the Participant’s consent. In addition, no amendment may be made without prior approval of the stockholders of the Company if such amendment would: 

a. Increase the number of shares of Company Stock that may be issued under the Plan; 

b. Materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan; or 

c. Materially increase the benefits which accrue to Participants under the Plan. 

11.2 Benefits Not Alienable. Benefits under the Plan may not be assigned or alienated, whether
voluntarily or involuntarily. Any attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds in accordance with Article 8.

 11.3 No Enlargement of Employee Rights. This Plan is strictly a voluntary
undertaking on the part of the Company and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Company and any Employee or to be consideration for, or an inducement to, or a condition of, the employment of any Employee. Nothing contained in the
Plan shall be deemed to give the right to any Employee to be retained in the employ of the Company or to interfere with the right of the Company to discharge any Employee at any time.  

11.4 Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by Federal law, all legal questions pertaining
to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of California. 

  
 9 

 11.5 Non-business Days. When any act under the
Plan is required to be performed on a day that falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, that act shall be performed on the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. Notwithstanding the above, Fair Market Value shall
be determined in accordance with Section 6.3. 
 11.6 Compliance With Securities
Laws. The Plan, the granting of options under the Plan and the offer, issuance and delivery of shares of Company Stock are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited
to state and federal securities laws) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. The person acquiring any
securities under the Plan will, if requested by the Company and as a condition precedent to the exercise of his or her option, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Administrator may deem necessary or desirable to assure
compliance with all applicable legal requirements. 
 11.7 Other Company Benefit and
Compensation Programs. Payments and other benefits received by an Employee pursuant to the Plan shall not be deemed a part of the Employee’s compensation for purposes of the determination of benefits under any other employee welfare
or benefit plans or arrangements, if any, provided by the Company or any Subsidiary, except where the Administrator expressly otherwise provides or authorizes in writing.
