	 	Re:	OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT 

 Dear Ms. Massey: 

On behalf of Warren Resources, Inc. (“Warren” or the “Company”), I am pleased to extend this offer of employment to you effective as of
your Start Date (as defined below), and look forward to you joining Warren. I am confident you will find your position with Warren both challenging and rewarding. 

The basic terms are as follows: 
 Start Date: Tuesday,
November 1, 2016. 
 Job Title: Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer. 

Job Location: Effective January 1, 2017, Dallas, Texas. Prior to January 1, 2017, you will work from either the Houston office or the Plano
Texas office. 
 Responsibilities: You will be responsible for performing the duties and responsibilities as are commensurate and consistent with
your position as Chief Accounting Officer and will devote your full working time, attention and efforts to the Company and to discharging the responsibilities of your position, including the internal and external audit functions; all state and
federal taxes filings; internal and external financial reports, as well as all accounting, including ledgers, assets, credit, collections, and accounts; and, such other duties and responsibilities as may be assigned from time to time by the Company
which relate to the business of the Company. You will report directly to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). You agree to comply with the Company’s standard policies and procedures, and with all applicable laws and
regulations. 
 Annual Base Salary: $235,000, payable bi-weekly in
twenty-six (26) equal installments less all required or elected taxes and other withholdings. 
 Annual
Bonus: Starting in calendar 2017, you will have a target bonus of 50% of your base salary with specified performance metrics mutually agreed upon by you and the CFO and approved by the CEO and compensation committee of the board of directors.
Depending on the achievement of the performance metrics (as determined by the compensation committee), the multiplier times the target bonus can be 0 to 2 times the target bonus. For clarity, the maximum target that can be achieved in any calendar
year would be 2 times the target bonus. 
 Other Long-Term Incentives: You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s equity incentive
plan (provided such plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders), with any such grant of equity to be determined by the compensation committee with recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer

Time”) during each calendar year of employment, plus three personal days and five days of sick leave (“PTO”), all in accordance with the Warren Resources Employee Handbook, which you acknowledge receiving and reviewing. Subject to and
in accordance with applicable eligibility requirements, you will be eligible to participate in such employee benefit plans, policies, programs and arrangements as are generally provided to the Company’s from time to time, which benefits
currently include health and dental insurance plans and a 401(k) retirement plan. 
 Severance Benefits: Attached is a copy of the current executive
severance benefits in place for the Company’s employees. I will recommend a plan similar to this to the new compensation committee. 
 No Guarantees
Due to Pending New Board of Directors: The Company’s new board of directors (to be appointed after completion of our pending bankruptcy proceedings) will approve the new compensation plans of the Company along with the specific awards under
the equity incentive program. We do not expect this will materially change from the plans currently in place, but there are no guarantees and changes or modifications to our benefit plans could occur at the request of our new board. In addition, we
expect the new board of directors to make the formal appointment of new officers, and if you accept the position contemplated in this letter, we plan to request that the new board appoint you as Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer. 

Restrictive Covenants: The offer of employment that is contained in this letter agreement is contingent upon your timely executing our standard Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreement attached hereto. 

Entire Agreement: Unless expressly provided herein, this letter agreement and the Exhibits hereto represent the entire agreement between you and the
Company regarding your employment and supersedes all prior communications and agreements, whether written or oral. 
 Employment at Will: Although
the Company hopes for a lasting relationship with you, your employment with the company is and will remain strictly “at will”. This means that both the Company and you have the absolute right to terminate your employment at any time, with
or without notice and with or without cause, subject to any termination benefits due pursuant to this letter agreement or the above referenced severance plan.

This Separation Agreement and General Release (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Robert S. Purgason (the “Employee”) and The

WHEREAS, the Employee’s employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates will be terminated; 

WHEREAS, the Company is providing to Employee severance benefits pursuant to The Williams Companies, Inc. Executive Severance Pay Plan (“Severance Pay
Plan”), and 
 WHEREAS, in order to achieve a final and amicable resolution of the employment relationship in all its aspects, the Company has agreed
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement as set forth below, to provide benefits pursuant to the Severance Pay Plan. 
 NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the releases, agreements, and payments set forth in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Parties acknowledge, the Company and the Employee agree as follows: 

 

	1.	Last Day of Employment. The Employee’s last day of employment with the Company was January 31, 2017 (“Separation Date”).

deductions (the “Separation Payment”). Employee may also receive certain accelerated vesting of equity awards under The Williams Companies, Inc. 2007 Incentive Plan based upon execution and non-revocation of this Agreement. In addition,

	3.	Fees. The Company agrees to pay the two attorneys’ fees/costs bills previously submitted by Clouse Dunn LLP in the Purgason/Williams file and make an additional payment of attorneys’

	6.	No Additional Benefits. Employee agrees that this Agreement resolves any and all outstanding issues arising from Employee’s employment. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that (i) this
Agreement includes payments and/or benefits in addition to and not in lieu of any payment(s) and/or benefits of what Employee might otherwise be eligible to receive under the terms of any of the Company’s policies, bonus plans, benefit plans,
or any other correspondence regarding the terms and conditions of Employee’s employment; and (ii) Employee has received all compensation and benefits to which Employee would otherwise be entitled through the Separation Date and shall
receive no other compensation or benefits from Company other than those set forth in Paragraph 2 and the vested interests and rights described in Paragraph 3 of this Agreement and the Company has no further financial obligations of any kind to the
Employee.

the fulfillment of the promises contained in this Agreement.

	 	•	 	The Company has provided Employee, at Employee’s option, fifty (50) days from the Separation Date in order to consider the Agreement. Failure by Employee to return to Robyn Ewing, Senior Vice President, One
Williams Center, Tulsa, OK 74172 robyn.ewing@williams.com, an executed Agreement within fifty-one (51) days from the Separation Date will void this Agreement; 

 

	 	•	 	Employee understands and acknowledges that he/she has carefully read this Agreement (including, if applicable, any attached exhibit) and understands the contents and meaning of this Agreement. By signing below, Employee
knowingly and voluntarily accepts this Agreement and does so of Employee’s own free will; 

  

	 	•	 	Employee understands that the ADEA is a federal statute that prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in employment, benefits, and benefit plans; 

 

	 	•	 	Employee understands that, through this Agreement, he/she is waiving, releasing, and forever giving up any and all claims under the ADEA he/she may have had against the Released Parties that may have existed on or prior
to the date upon which Employee executes this Agreement; 

  

	 	•	 	Employee understands that any claims under the ADEA that may arise after the date this Agreement is executed by him/her are not waived; 

 

	 	•	 	Employee is hereby advised to consult with an attorney of Employee’s choice before entering into this Agreement. Employee is responsible for paying his/her attorneys’ fees and costs, if any. By signing this
Agreement, Employee acknowledges that Employee has consulted or had an opportunity to consult with an attorney or a representative of Employee’s choosing, if any, and Employee is not relying on any advice from the Company or its agents or
attorneys in Employee’s decision to execute this Agreement; 

  

	 	•	 	Employee is receiving consideration for Employee’s waiver of claims under the ADEA that is in addition to anything of value to which he/she is already entitled; 

  
 4 

	 	•	 	Employee has a period of seven (7) days following his/her execution of this Agreement to revoke this Agreement (“Revocation Period”). To revoke this Agreement, Employee must provide written notice of
revocation to the Company at Robyn Ewing, Senior Vice President, One Williams Center, Tulsa, OK 74172 robyn.ewing@williams.com, prior to the expiration of the seven (7) day revocation period; and 

 

	 	•	 	The Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until the eighth day after Employee signs the Agreement (the “Effective Date”). No Separation Payment under this Agreement shall be due until after the

	10.	Eligibility. Executive is eligible for the Separation Payment and benefits provided under this Agreement and has not received and is not eligible for more favorable severance pay benefits under any other
severance pay plan, agreement or arrangement of or with the Company.

and negotiations. Employee will make no statements or representations relating to this Agreement, except to Employee’s attorney or tax advisor, spouse, or as may otherwise be allowed or required by law. Employee further acknowledges his/her
continuing obligations to maintain the confidentiality of the Released Parties’ confidential and proprietary information, including, but not limited to, any confidential or non-public information regarding the business methods, business
strategies, and plans, policies, procedures, techniques, research, or development projects or results, trade secrets, or other knowledge or processes of or developed by the Released Parties (the “Confidential Information”) and agrees that
he/she shall not use, disseminate, or disclose any of the Confidential Information to any person or entity. Employee further acknowledges that if Employee were to use or disclose, directly or indirectly, the Confidential Information, that such use
and/or disclosure would cause Company irreparable harm and injury for which no adequate remedy at law exists. Therefore, in the event of the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement, and in particular this Paragraph 9 by
Employee, Company shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief to enjoin such breach or threatened breach, in addition to all other remedies and alternatives which may be available at law or in equity. Employee acknowledges that the remedies
contained in the Agreement for violation of this Agreement are not the exclusive remedies that Company may pursue. 

  

	12.	Protected Rights. Employee understands that nothing contained in this Agreement limits Employee’s ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National
Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other federal, state, or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). Employee further understands
that this Agreement does not limit Employee’s ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other
information, without notice to the Company. This Agreement does not limit Employee’s right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies.

for 12 months, to run consecutively, beginning on the Separation Date. 

  
 5 

	14.	Tax Implications. Employee acknowledges that the Released Parties have not made any representations or promises with respect to the tax treatment of any monies paid or benefits provided in accordance with
this Agreement. The Parties further agree that if any state or federal agency should in the future decide that all or any part of the monies paid or benefits provided under this Agreement is taxable income to Employee and/or that the proceeds were
not properly reported or classified, Employee shall be solely responsible for paying the resulting taxes, interest, and/or penalties without further liability on the part of any of the Released Parties and he/she shall indemnify each of the Released
Parties and hold each of them harmless from any tax, penalty, damages, or interest which may be imposed on the Released Parties by any state or federal agency as a result of Employee’s tax treatment of the Separation Payment. 

 

	15.	Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”) or an exemption thereunder and shall be construed
and administered in accordance with Section 409A. As of the date of this Agreement, the Company is not aware of a violation of Section 409A with respect to the lump sum payment described in Section 2 above. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, payments provided under this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an applicable exemption. Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from

of a violation of Section 409A with respect to the lump sum payment described in Section 2 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with

	16.	No Admission of Wrongdoing. The Parties agree that neither this Agreement nor anything contained herein, including the furnishing of the consideration for this Agreement, shall be deemed or construed at
any time for any purpose as an admission by either Party or evidence of any liability or unlawful conduct of any kind. 

  

	17.	Cooperation. Employee agrees that he/she will cooperate fully with the Company and the Released Parties in connection with any and all existing or future litigation, investigations, subpoenas, or requests
for information brought by or against the Company or any Released Party, whether administrative, civil, or criminal in nature. Employee agrees to cooperate to the extent that the Company or the Released Parties deem necessary and, if Employee’s
testimony is deemed necessary, Employee will testify truthfully. The Company or the Released Parties will reimburse Employee for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of such cooperation, other than any attorneys’ fees or costs
Employee incurs relating to any attorney retained by Employee or his/her agent. 

  

	    	 Entire Agreement. Except as specified elsewhere in this Agreement and rights under the 2004
Agreement between Company and Employee (including his rights and ownership in M&A process map and forms, encompassing approximately 4 volumes developed in 1999, also an undivided interest in the data and IP developed in the underground
