periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including;” the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding;” and the word “through”
means “to and including.” 
 (c) Section headings herein and in the other Loan Documents are included for convenience
of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 (d) For purposes of
Section 9.01, a breach of a financial covenant contained in Section 7.12 shall be deemed to have occurred as of any date of reasonable determination thereof by the Agent on or after the last date of any specified measuring
period, regardless of when the financial statements or the Compliance Certificate reflecting such breach are delivered to the Agent and the Lenders. 

1.03. Accounting Terms. 

(a) Generally. All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all
financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a
manner consistent with that used in preparing the Audited Financial Statements, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein. 

(b) Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set
forth in any Loan Document, and Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, Agent, Lenders and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP
(subject to the approval of Borrower and the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) Borrower
shall provide to Agent and Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after
giving effect to such change in GAAP. 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 21 

 1.04. Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down
to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number). 
 1.05. Times of Day. Unless otherwise
specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Central time (daylight or standard, as applicable). 

1.06. Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be
deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more
automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in
effect at such time. 
 ARTICLE II. THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS 

2.01. Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such
loan, a “Loan”) to Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow under this
Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.04, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 

2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made
upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, whereupon Agent shall give prompt notice to Lenders of such request and,
in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. In the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, not later than 12:00 p.m., three (3) Business Days before the requested date of such
Borrowing, conversion or continuation, Agent shall notify Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all Lenders. Each telephonic notice by Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans,
(ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be
borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if Borrower fails to give a timely notice
requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with
respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an
Interest Period of one month. 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 22 

 (b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the
amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by Borrower, Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in
the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to Agent in immediately available funds at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the
applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.01), Agent shall make all funds so received available to
Borrower in like funds as received by Agent either by (i) crediting the account of Borrower on the books of Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to
(and acceptable to) Agent by Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing first, shall
be applied, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to Borrower as provided above. 

(c) During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the
consent of the Required Lenders, and, during the existence of a Default, the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans and Borrower agrees to pay all amounts
due under Section 3.05 in accordance with the terms thereof due to any such conversion. 
 (d) Agent shall promptly
notify Borrower and Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, Agent shall notify Borrower and Lenders of any
change in Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 

(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the
same Type, there shall not be more than six (6) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans. 
 2.03. Letters of
Credit. (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. 
 (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the L/C Expiration
Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of
Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with
respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the L/C Sublimit. Each request by Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a
Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been
drawn upon and reimbursed. 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 23 

 (ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if: 

(A) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve (12) months after the date of
issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or 
 (B) the expiry date
of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the L/C Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date. 

(iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or
restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall
prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital
requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the
L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 
 (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or
more applicable policies of the L/C Issuer; 
 (C) except as otherwise agreed by Agent and the L/C Issuer, such
Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000; 
 (D) such Letter of Credit is to be
denominated in a currency other than Dollars or Canadian dollars; 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 24 

 (E) unless specifically provided for in this agreement, such Letter of
Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or 

(F) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Lender is at such
time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with Borrower, such Lender or all other Lenders to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender. 

(iv) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no
obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 

(v) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents
associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued
by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” or “Agent” as used in Article X included the L/C Issuer with respect to such
acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer. 
 (b) Procedures for
Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit. 
 (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the
case may be, upon the request of Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to Agent) in the form of a L/C Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. Such L/C Application must be received by the L/C
Issuer and Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as
the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit
(which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder;
(F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding
Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (w) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (x) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (y) the nature
of the proposed amendment; and (z) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit
issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or Agent may reasonably require. 
 (ii)
Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application at the address set forth in Section 11.02 for receiving L/C Applications and related correspondence, the L/C Issuer will confirm with Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Agent has
received a copy of such L/C Application from Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to
the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Article V shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the
requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business
practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to
the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 25 

 (iii) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment
to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to Borrower and Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the
L/C Issuer shall notify Borrower and Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer
through Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the
“Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an
amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments
and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in
writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 

(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by Agent, whereupon, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount. Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer. 

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the
conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which
L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii)
shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03. 

 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 26 

 (iv) Until each Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer. 

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under
Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such
Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery by Borrower of a Loan Notice).
No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

 (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to
be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Agent), on demand,
such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such
amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer
submitted to any Lender (through Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Repayment of Participations. 

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such
Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly
from Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Agent), Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of
time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by Agent. 

(ii) If any payment received by Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is
required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer
its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The
obligations of Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 27 

 (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for
each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan
Document; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrower or any
Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of
Credit; 
 (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the
benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or 

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or any Subsidiary. 
 Borrower shall promptly
examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will promptly notify the L/C Issuer.
Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall
not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of
the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken
or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution,
effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any
Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.
None of the L/C Issuer, Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of
Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to
the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower which Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under
any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer
may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of
any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 

 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 28 

 (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has
honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the L/C Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, Borrower shall, in each
case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. Sections 2.04 and 9.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this
Section 2.03, Section 2.04, and Section 9.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral
for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by Lenders). “Cash Collateral” shall
have a corresponding meaning. Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be
maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Agent. 
 (h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless
otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit. 

(i) L/C Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of the Lenders (to be paid by Agent to each Lender (other than any
Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its Applicable Percentage) an aggregate fee (the “L/C Fee”) for the issuance of each Letter of Credit in an amount per annum equal to the greater of the Applicable Rate times the maximum
face amount of the Letter of Credit determined in accordance with Section 1.06 or $1,000. Such L/C Fee shall be payable prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit and thereafter in quarterly installments on the first Business Day
after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing on the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the L/C Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate
during any quarter, the L/C Fee shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon request
of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all L/C Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate. 
 (j) Fronting
Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee for the issuance or extension of each Letter of Credit equal to the greater of $500 or
0.1875% per annum times the maximum face amount of such Letter of Credit determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable upon the issuance or extension of each Letter of Credit. In addition,
Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time
in effect. Such individual customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable. 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 29 

 (k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms of
the Loan Documents and the terms of any Issuer Documents, the terms hereof shall control. 
 (l) Letters of Credit Issued for
Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all
drawings under such Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Borrower, and that Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the
businesses of such Subsidiaries. 
 2.04. Prepayments. 

(a) Borrower may, upon notice to Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or
penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) one (1) Business Day prior to any
date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of
Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be repaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of
such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be
accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of Lenders in accordance with their respective
Applicable Percentages. 
 (b) If for any reason (including without limitation those arising from a reduction of the Borrowing
Base described in Section 4.05) the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an
aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total
Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect; and provided further, however, that the provisions of Section 4.06 shall control in the event the reason the Total Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Commitments is due
to the redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 4.02 or Section 4.03. 
 (c) Borrower
may make a prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 4.06. 
 2.05. Termination or Reduction of
Commitments. Borrower may, upon notice to Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by Agent not later than
11:00 a.m. five (5) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $500,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, (iii) Borrower shall not
terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the
Aggregate Commitments, the L/C Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, the L/C Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or
reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the
Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 30 

 2.06. Repayment of Loans. Borrower shall repay to Lenders on the Maturity Date
the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date. 
 2.07. Interest. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (1) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate or (2) the Maximum Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (1) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate or (2) the Maximum Rate. 

(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due
(without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all
times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (iii) Upon the request of
the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest
on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on
each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 
 2.08. Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections
(i) and (j) of Section 2.03 and in Section 4.07: 
 (a) Commitment Fee. Borrower shall
pay to Agent for the account of the Lenders (to be paid by Agent to each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its Applicable Percentage) an aggregate commitment fee in an amount per annum equal to the Applicable Rate
times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the
Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December,
commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount
shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate on a per diem basis separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. 

 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 31 

 (b) Agent’s Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent for Agent’s own account, fees
in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Unless otherwise specified in the Fee Letter, such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever. 

(c) Lenders’ Upfront Fee. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of the Lenders (to be paid by
Agent to each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its Applicable Percentage), an aggregate upfront fee in the amount provided in the commitment letter between the parties dated as of August 20, 2010. Such upfront fees
are for the credit facilities committed by Lenders under this Agreement and are fully earned on the date paid. The upfront fee paid to each Lender is solely for its own account and is nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever. 

2.09. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined
by Agent’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days
elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion
thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by Agent of
an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 2.10.
Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and by Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by Lenders to
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the
event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of
any Lender made through Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse
thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 (b) In addition
to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In
the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 

 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 32 

 2.11. Payments Generally; Agent’s Clawback. 

(a) (i) General. All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim,
defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s
Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date specified herein. Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage(or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in
like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by Agent after 12:00 noon shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

 (ii) On each date when the payment of any principal, interest or fees are due hereunder or under any Note,
Borrower agrees to maintain on deposit in an ordinary checking account maintained by Borrower with Agent (as such account shall be designated by Borrower in a written notice to Agent from time to time, the “Borrower Account”)
an amount sufficient to pay such principal, interest or fees in full on such date. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent (A) to deduct automatically all principal, interest or fees when due hereunder or under any Note from the Borrower Account, and
(B) if and to the extent any payment of principal, interest or fees under this Agreement or any Note is not made when due to deduct any such amount from any or all of the accounts of Borrower maintained at Agent. Agent agrees to provide written
notice to Borrower of any automatic deduction made pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) showing in reasonable detail the amounts of such deduction. Lenders agree to reimburse Borrower based on their Applicable Percentage for any amounts
deducted from such accounts in excess of amounts due hereunder and under any other Loan Documents. 
 (iii)
Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Agent. Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on
the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or,
in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding
amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately
available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of
the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Agent in connection with the foregoing and
(B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the
amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Agent, then the amount of its share of such applicable Borrowing so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such
Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent. 

 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 33 

 (iv) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Agent. Unless Agent shall
have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on
such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of Lenders or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount
is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

A notice of Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error. 
 (b) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to Agent funds for any Loan
to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to Borrower by Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not
satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 

(c) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of
Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required
hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, purchase its participation or to make its payment under
Section 11.04(c): 
 (d) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the
funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 

2.12. Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or
participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face
value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance
with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise
thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 34 

 (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to
(x) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or
subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such
participation. 
 2.13. Collateral. 

(a) Mortgaged Properties. The payment and performance of the Notes and all of the other Obligations hereunder and under the Loan
Documents shall be secured by a first and superior Lien, subject to Permitted Liens, against the entire Mineral Interest of each Loan Party in the Mortgaged Properties pursuant to the terms of one or more deeds of trust (each an “Oil and
Gas Mortgage”), in favor of Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent. Each Oil and Gas Mortgage to be filed in a county where a Bank of America Mortgage has been filed shall be
a restatement of that particular Bank of America Mortgage, such Bank of America Mortgages having been assigned to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders pursuant to documentation acceptable to Agent. Borrower covenants that the Recognized Value of
all oil and gas properties under mortgage to Agent shall at all times be not less than the Required Reserve Value. On or before each determination of the Borrowing Base and at such other times as Agent shall request, the Loan Parties shall mortgage
such additional proved producing properties to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders having aggregate Recognized Values as are necessary to maintain the Required Reserve Value of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Obligations. 

(b) Title Assurances. At any time any Loan Party is required to execute and deliver Oil and Gas Mortgages to Agent pursuant to
this Section 2.13, such Loan Party shall also deliver to Agent such opinions of counsel (including, if so requested, title opinions addressed to Agent) or other evidence of title as Agent shall deem necessary or appropriate to verify
(i) its title to the oil and gas properties which are subject to such Oil and Gas Mortgages, and (ii) the validity and perfection of the Liens created by such Oil and Gas Mortgages. 

(c) Personal Property of Borrower. The payment and performance of the Notes and all of the other Obligations hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents shall also be secured by a first priority Lien, subject to Permitted Liens, against all personal property of Borrower other than Equity Interests owned by Borrower pursuant to the terms of an agreement (the
“Security Agreement”) in favor of Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent. Equity Interests owned by Borrower shall not be covered by the Security Agreement.
Instead, such Equity Interests shall be pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement described in Section 2.13(d). 

(d) Equity Interests of Subsidiaries and Designated Investment Entities. The payment and performance of the Notes and all of the
other Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be secured by a first priority Lien against the following Equity Interests owned by Borrower pursuant to the terms of an agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), in
favor of Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent: 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 35 

 (i) 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interest of each existing and
future Domestic Subsidiary; 
 (ii) 65% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interest of each existing and future
Foreign Subsidiary; and 
 (iii) the entire Equity Interest owned by Borrower in the Designated Investment
Entities; provided that if such Equity Interest exceeds 65% of all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of such entity, then the Lien shall be limited to 65% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of such entity. 

(e) Concerning Domestic Subsidiaries. The payment and performance of the Notes and all of the other Obligations hereunder and
under the Loan Documents (i) shall be unconditionally guaranteed by each Domestic Subsidiary pursuant to a Guaranty which shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Agent, and (ii) shall be secured by a first priority Lien (subject
only to Permitted Liens) against those oil and gas properties of such Domestic Subsidiaries having a Recognized Value of not less than the Required Reserve Value pursuant to one or more Oil and Gas Mortgages, and (iii) shall be secured by a
first priority Lien, subject to Permitted Liens, against all personal property other than Equity Interests owned by such Domestic Subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms of one or more agreements (each a “Subsidiary Security
Agreement”) in favor of Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders which shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Agent, and (iv) shall be secured by a first priority Lien against any Equity Interests (but limited to 65% in the
case of Equity Interests of a Foreign Subsidiary) which such Domestic Subsidiary may now own or hereafter acquire pursuant to the terms of one or more agreements (each a “Subsidiary Pledge Agreement”) in favor of Agent for
the ratable benefit of Lenders which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent. 
 If any such Equity Interests are evidenced by
issued and outstanding physical certificates, Borrower shall deliver such certificates and appropriate stock powers simultaneously with its execution and delivery of the Pledge Agreement or Subsidiary Pledge Agreement, as applicable. 

2.14. No Fees Paid to Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if a Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender, then all fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.08. 

ARTICLE III. TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 

3.01. Taxes. 

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

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 36 

 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of
subsection (a) above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, within 10 days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than any such penalties, interest and expenses resulting from Agent’s, Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct provided that for purposes of clarification, contesting the payment of any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes shall not be considered gross negligence or willful misconduct), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or
on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon
as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to 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 Agent. 
 (e)
Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party,
with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent as will enable Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United
States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of Borrower or the Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party, 
 (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8ECI, 
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest
under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or 

 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 37 

 (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming
exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be
made. 
 (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion,
that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund
(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent, such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) within thirty (30) days after receipt of same, provided that Borrower, upon the request of
Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event Agent,
such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating
to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender
determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest
rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by
such Lender to Borrower through Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Agent and Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Agent), prepay (on a pro rata basis) or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of
such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain
such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due under Section 3.05 in accordance with the terms thereof due to such
prepayment or conversion. 
 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If Agent determines in connection with any
request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar
Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders to
make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 

 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 38 

 3.04. Increased Costs. 

(a) Increased Costs Generally. 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 or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or the L/C Issuer; 

(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of
Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or 

(iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting
this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the
foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing
or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the
L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender
or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy),
then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s
or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A
certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and
delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 39 

 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer
to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

3.05. Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Agent) from time to time, Borrower shall promptly
compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any actual loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 
 (b) any
failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; or 

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by
the Borrower pursuant to Section 11.14; 
 including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the
liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in
connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used
in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

 3.06. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to
Section 3.02, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, 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 or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be,
in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would
not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 40 

 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with
Section 11.14. 
 3.07. Survival. All of Borrower’s obligations under this Article III
shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder. 
 ARTICLE IV.
BORROWING BASE 
 4.01. Borrowing Base. The Borrowing Base shall represent the approval in their sole
discretion of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, of Agent’s determination of the maximum loan amount that may be supported by the oil and gas properties of the Loan Parties included in the most recent Reserve Report furnished
to Agent, based upon Lenders’ in-house evaluation of such properties. The determination of the Borrowing Base will be made in accordance with then-current practices, economic and pricing parameters, methodology, assumptions, and customary
procedures and standards established by each Lender from time to time for its petroleum industry customers including without limitation (a) an analysis of such reserve and production data with respect to the Mineral Interests of the Loan
Parties in all of their oil and gas properties, including the Mortgaged Properties, as is provided to Lenders in accordance herewith, (b) an analysis of the assets, liabilities, cash flow, business, properties, prospects, management and
ownership of each Loan Party and its Affiliates, and (c) such other credit factors consistently applied as each Lender customarily considers in evaluating similar oil and gas credits. Borrower and Lenders acknowledge that (i) due to the
uncertainties of the oil and gas extraction process, the properties included in any Reserve Report are not subject to evaluation with a high degree of accuracy and are subject to potential rapid deterioration in value, and (ii) for this reason
and the difficulties and expenses involved in liquidating and collecting against the Mortgaged Properties, the determination of the maximum loan amount with respect to the properties included in any Reserve Report contains an equity cushion (market
value in excess of loan amount) which Borrower acknowledges to be essential for the adequate protection of Lenders. The Borrowing Base shall initially be $50,000,000. 

4.02. Periodic Determinations of Borrowing Base. 

(a) On each April 1 and October 1 commencing April 1, 2011, until the Maturity Date, Borrower shall furnish to Agent a
Reserve Report, which shall set out as of the six (6) months ending January 1 and July 1, respectively, the Proved Mineral Interests attributable to the Mortgaged Properties and such other oil and gas properties of the Loan Parties as
Borrower may select. Each October 1 Reserve Report may be prepared by Borrower’s own engineers and shall be certified by the President or other Responsible Officer of Borrower. Each April 1 Reserve Report shall be a complete report
prepared by independent reservoir engineers reasonably acceptable to Agent relating to the Proved Mineral Interests attributable to the Mortgage Properties known as “West Cote Blanche Bay” and “Permian Basin”, and such other oil
and gas properties of the Loan Parties as Borrower may select. In addition, Borrower may submit with each April 1 Reserve Report a separate Reserve Report prepared by Borrower’s own engineers and certified by the President or other
Responsible Officer of Borrower covering such other oil and gas properties of the Loan Parties as Borrower may select. Upon receipt of each such Reserve Report, Agent shall make a determination of the Borrowing Base and the Monthly Reduction Amount
which shall become effective upon approval by the Required Lenders or all Lenders in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 4.04 and subsequent written notification from Agent to Borrower, and which, subject to the other
provisions of this Agreement shall be the Borrowing Base and the Monthly Reduction Amount until the effective date of the next redetermination as provided in this Article IV. 

 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 41 

 (b) In the event that Borrower does not furnish to Agent a Reserve Report by the dates
specified in Section 4.02(a), then Agent and Lenders may nonetheless redetermine the Borrowing Base and redesignate the Borrowing Base from time to time thereafter in their sole discretion until Agent receives the relevant Reserve
Report, whereupon Agent and Lenders shall redetermine the Borrowing Base as otherwise specified in this Article IV. 

4.03. Special Determinations of Borrowing Base. 

(a) Special determinations of the Borrowing Base may be requested by Agent or Borrower not more than one time per calendar year each. If
any special determination is requested by Borrower, it shall be accompanied by internally-prepared engineering data for the oil and gas reserves included in the Mortgaged Properties, and such additional properties as Borrower may select, brought
forward from the most recent Reserve Report furnished by Borrower to Agent. If any special determination is requested by Agent, Borrower will provide Agent with internally prepared engineering data for the oil and gas reserves included in the
Mortgaged Properties, and such additional properties as Borrower may select, updated from the most recent Reserve Report furnished to Agent, as soon as is reasonably practicable following the request. The determination whether to increase or
decrease the Borrowing Base and the Monthly Reduction Amount shall then be made in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 4.01 hereof and the procedures set forth in Section 4.04 hereof. In the event of any
special determination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Section, Agent in the exercise of its discretion may suspend the next regularly scheduled determination of the Borrowing Base. 

(b) Borrower shall give Agent ten (10) Business Days prior written notice of any proposed amendment, modification or termination of
any Swap Contract or Forward Sales Contract, or any other action which Borrower or any Subsidiary proposes to take in connection with any Swap Contract or Forward Sales Contract which could impact its Recognized Value in the then current Borrowing
Base. Agent reserves the right to redetermine the Borrowing Base. As the result of any such action, and any such redetermination shall not be considered a special determination requested by Agent within the meaning of the first sentence of
Section 4.03(a). If requested by Borrower, Agent shall inform Borrower by email within such ten (10) Business Day period of the likely reduction of the Borrowing Base as the result of any action described in the first sentence of
this Section 4.03(b). 
 4.04. General Procedures With Respect to Determination of Borrowing
Base. Agent shall propose a redetermined Borrowing Base and a Monthly Reduction Amount within sixty (60) days following receipt by Agent and Lenders of a Reserve Report and other applicable information. After having received notice of
such proposal from Agent, Required Lenders (or all Lenders in the event of a proposed increase in the Borrowing Base or decrease in the Monthly Reduction Amount) shall have fifteen (15) days to agree or disagree with such proposal. At the end
of such fifteen (15) day period, if Required Lenders (or all Lenders, in the event of a proposed increase of the Borrowing Base or decrease of the Monthly Reduction Amount) shall not have communicated their approval or disapproval, such silence
shall be deemed an approval, and Agent’s proposal shall be the new Borrowing Base and Monthly Reduction Amount. If, however, Required Lenders (or any Lender, in the event of a proposed increase of the Borrowing Base or decrease of the Monthly
Reduction Amount) notify Agent within such fifteen (15) days of their disapproval, Agent and Required Lenders (or all Lenders, in the event of a proposed increase of the Borrowing Base or decrease of the Monthly Reduction Amount) shall agree on
a new Borrowing Base and Monthly Reduction Amount. If the Required Lenders (or all Lenders, in the event of a proposed increase of the Borrowing Base or decrease of the Monthly Reduction Amount), cannot agree on the amount of the Borrowing Base or
Monthly Reduction Amount, as applicable, within seven (7) days after Agent has been notified of their disapproval, then Agent shall propose a new redetermined Borrowing Base and a new Monthly Reduction Amount within fifteen (15) days after
the end of such seven (7) day period and the foregoing process shall be repeated. This process shall be repeated until the Required Lenders (or all Lenders, in the event of a proposed increase of the Borrowing Base or decrease of the Monthly
Reduction Amount) agree on a new Borrowing Base and Monthly Reduction Amount. In taking the above actions, Agent and Lenders shall act in accordance with their normal and customary procedures for evaluating oil and gas reserves and other related
assets as such exist at that particular time and will otherwise act in their sole discretion. Further, each Lender may consider such other credit factors as it deems appropriate which are consistent with its normal and customary procedures for
evaluating oil and gas reserves. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders may exclude any oil and gas reserves or portion of production therefrom or any income from any other property from the Borrowing Base, at any time, because title information is
not satisfactory or such oil and gas reserves are not Mortgaged Properties. 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 42 

 4.05. Borrowing Base Reductions. 

(a) At the time of any periodic or special redetermination of the Borrowing Base, Lenders reserve the right to establish an amount (the
“Monthly Reduction Amount”) by which the Borrowing Base shall be automatically reduced effective on the first day of each successive calendar month until the next Borrowing Base redetermination. Lenders’ determination of
the Monthly Reduction Amount shall be made in accordance with the standards specified in Section 4.01 hereof and the procedures specified in Section 4.04 hereof. Initially, the Monthly Reduction Amount will be set at zero
dollars ($0). If the Total Outstandings shall exceed the Borrowing Base solely because of the reduction of the Borrowing Base by the Monthly Reduction Amount, Borrower shall promptly make a single lump sum payment in an amount sufficient to reduce
the Total Outstandings to or below the Borrowing Base. 
 (b) If any Swap Contract is terminated or is not fully performed for
any reason, the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by the amount of the Recognized Value given such Swap Contract in the then current Borrowing Base as determined by Agent. 

(c) If any Forward Sales Contract is terminated or is not fully performed for any reason, the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by the
amount of the Recognized Value given such Forward Sales Contract in the then current Borrowing Base as determined by Agent. 

(d) The Borrowing Base shall be reduced if the aggregate of Asset Dispositions in any calendar year exceeds 5% of the then existing
Borrowing Base as provided in Section 8.05(h). 
 4.06. Borrowing Base Deficiency. 

(a) If the Total Outstandings exceed the amount of the Borrowing Base because of a periodic or special determination made pursuant to
Section 4.02 or Section 4.03 hereof (or a periodic or special redetermination combined with the Monthly Reduction Amount), then Agent shall notify Borrower of the same (a “Borrowing Base Deficiency
Notice”), and Borrower shall within thirty (30) days following receipt of such Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice elect whether to (i) prepay an amount which would, if prepaid immediately, reduce the Total Outstandings to the
amount of the Borrowing Base, (ii) mortgage (or cause a Guarantor to mortgage) such other oil and gas properties as are acceptable to Lenders, pursuant to security documents acceptable to Agent having present values which, in the opinion of
Lenders, based upon Lenders’ evaluation of the engineering data provided them, taken in the aggregate are sufficient to increase the Borrowing Base to an amount at least equal to the Total Outstandings, or (iii) do any combination of the
foregoing as is acceptable to Agent. If Borrower fails to make an election within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of the Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected the prepayment option
specified in clause (i) above. 
 (b) Borrower shall deliver such prepayments or mortgages of additional oil and gas
properties in accordance with its election (or deemed election) pursuant to Section 4.06(a) as follows: 

(i) Prepayment Elections. If Borrower elects (or is deemed to have elected) to prepay an amount in accordance with
Section 4.06(a)(i) above, then Borrower may make such prepayment in one installment within forty-five (45) days after Borrower’s receipt of the Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice or in six (6) equal consecutive monthly
installments beginning within forty-five (45) days after Borrower’s receipt of the Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter. 

 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 43 

 (ii) Elections to Mortgage Additional Oil and Gas Properties. If
Borrower elects to mortgage additional oil and gas properties in accordance with Section 4.06(a)(ii) above, then (1) such property shall be acceptable to Agent and Lenders with values determined by Agent and Lenders in accordance
with this Article IV and (2) Borrower or such Guarantor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Agent security instruments acceptable to Agent within forty-five (45) days after Borrower’s receipt of the Borrowing Base
Deficiency Notice; provided, however (x) if none of the additional oil and gas properties offered by Borrower are acceptable to Lenders, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected the prepayment option specified in Section 4.06(a)(i)
(and Borrower shall make such prepayment in accordance with Section 4.06(b)(i)); and (y) if the aggregate present values of additional oil and gas properties which are acceptable to Lenders are insufficient to eliminate the
Borrowing Base deficiency, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected the option specified in Section 4.06(a)(iii) (and Borrower shall make prepayment and deliver security instruments as provided in Section 4.06(b)(iii)).

 (iii) Combination Elections. If Borrower elects (or is deemed to have elected) to eliminate the
Borrowing Base deficiency by a combination of prepayment and mortgaging of additional oil and gas properties in accordance with Section 4.06(a)(iii), then within forty-five (45) days after Borrower’s receipt of the Borrowing
Base Deficiency Notice, Borrower shall (or shall cause a Guarantor to) execute, acknowledge and deliver to Agent security instruments acceptable to Agent covering such additional oil and gas properties and pay Agent the amount by which the Borrowing
Base deficiency exceeds the present values of such additional oil and gas properties (x) in one installment within forty-five (45) days after Borrower’s receipt of the Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice, or (y) six (6) equal
consecutive monthly installments beginning within forty-five (45) days after Borrower’s receipt of the Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter. 

4.07. Borrowing Base Increase Fee. A fee shall be paid for each incremental increase in the new Borrowing Base over the
previously existing Borrowing Base. The amount of each such fee shall be determined by Agent in accordance with then prevailing market conditions and shall be shared among Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages. There shall be no
obligation imposed upon Borrower to accept an increase of the Borrowing Base proposed by Lenders. However, if Borrower accepts the increase in the Borrowing Base, the fee shall be due and payable immediately and without regard as to whether Borrower
ever borrows the increased amount available under such new Borrowing Base. Determinations of when a fee is due shall be made by Agent and shall be conclusive and binding on the parties absent manifest error. 

4.08. Mortgage of Additional Properties. Borrower may from time to time upon written notice to Agent propose to add oil and
gas properties of Borrower or any other Loan Party as Mortgaged Properties to be included in the Borrowing Base. Any such proposal shall be accompanied by an internally-prepaid Reserve Report applicable to such properties that conforms with the
requirements of this Agreement and evidence sufficient to establish that Borrower or such other Loan Party, as applicable, has title to such properties. Any such addition shall become effective at such time as (i) Agent, with the approval of
Lenders, has made a determination of the amount by which the Borrowing Base would be increased as the result of such addition, (ii) the conditions set out in Article IV hereof, to the extent they are applicable to such additional
properties, have been satisfied, (iii) if requested by Agent, Agent shall have received an Affidavit of Payment of Trade Bills, Property Certificates, a Title Indemnity Agreement and a Reconciliation Schedule with respect to such
additional properties, (iv) Oil and Gas Mortgages duly executed by the applicable Loan Party have been delivered to Agent, and (v) arrangements satisfactory to Agent have been made with respect to payment of recording fees and taxes, as
applicable. In determining the increase in the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Section, Agent and Lenders shall apply the parameters and other credit factors set forth in this Article IV. A proposal by Borrower pursuant to this
Section 4.08 shall constitute a request for a special determination of the Borrowing Base for purposes of Section 4.03(a).

Extension. 
 ARTICLE VI. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and the Lenders that: 

6.01. Existence, Qualification and Power; Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary thereof (a) if an
entity, is duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority and all requisite governmental licenses,
authorizations, consents and approvals to (i) own or lease its assets and carry on its business and (ii) execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, (c) if an entity, is duly qualified
and is licensed and in good standing under the Laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification or license, and (d) is in compliance with all Laws; except
in each case referred to in clause (b)(i), (c) or (d), to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

6.02. Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to
which such Person is party, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not (a) contravene the terms of any of such Person’s Organization Documents; (b) conflict with or
result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, or require any payment to be made under (i) any Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or affecting such Person or the properties of such Person or any
of its Subsidiaries (except for such events as could not reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Effect) or (ii) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Person or
its property is subject; or (c) violate any Law. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary thereof is in compliance with all Contractual Obligations referred to in clause (b)(i), except to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 6.03. Governmental Authorization; Other Consents. No approval,
consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with (each, a “Filing”), any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or
performance by, or enforcement against, any Loan Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Document other than (i) Filings required by the Loan Documents, (ii) Filings that, if not made or obtained, would not cause a Default hereunder, and
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) Filings that are customarily obtained after the closing of an acquisition of Mineral Interests, and (iv) Filings necessary in connection with the exercise of
remedies under the Loan Documents. 
 6.04. Binding Effect. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document,
when delivered hereunder, will have been, duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when so delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such
Loan Party, enforceable against each Loan Party that is party thereto in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar Laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; (ii) fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results of operations for the period covered thereby in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; and (iii) show all material indebtedness and other liabilities, direct or contingent, of Borrower and its Subsidiaries
as of the date thereof, including liabilities for taxes, material commitments and Indebtedness. 
 (b) The unaudited
consolidated balance sheets of Borrower and its Subsidiaries dated June 30, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income or operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal quarter ended on that date (i) were
prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein, and (ii) fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries
as of the date thereof and their results of operations for the period covered thereby, subject, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments. Schedule 6.05 sets forth all
material indebtedness and other liabilities, direct or contingent, of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date of such financial statements, including liabilities for taxes, material commitments and Indebtedness, that are not
reflected in such balance sheets. 
 (c) Since the date of the Audited Financial Statements, there has been no event or
circumstance, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(d) The drilling budget, capital expenditure budget, forecast of production and forecast of cash flows of Borrower and its Subsidiaries
delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(c) were prepared in good faith on the basis of the assumptions stated therein, which assumptions were fair in light of the conditions existing at the time of delivery of such forecasts, and represented,
at the time of delivery, the Borrower’s best estimate of its future financial performance. 
 6.06.
Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened or contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against any Loan
Party or against any of their properties or revenues that (a) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) except as specifically disclosed in Schedule
6.06, either individually or in the aggregate, if determined adversely, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and there has been no material adverse change in the status, or financial effect on any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary thereof, of the matters described on Schedule 6.06. 
 6.07. No Default. No Loan Party is in
default under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation that could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 6.08. Ownership of
Property; Liens. Each Loan Party (i) has good record and defensible title to the Mineral Interests evaluated in the most recently delivered Reserve Report that are included in the determination of the Borrowing Base, as described in
Section 6.21, and (ii) good title to the personal property used in the ordinary conduct of its business, except for such defects in title as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 49 

 6.09. Environmental Compliance. Borrower and its Subsidiaries have conducted
in the ordinary course of business a review of claims alleging potential liability or responsibility for violation of any Environmental Law on their respective businesses, operations and properties, and as a result thereof Borrower has reasonably
concluded that, except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 6.09, such claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

6.10. Insurance. The properties of the Loan Parties are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies
not Affiliates of any Loan Party, in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance compatible with the following standards; provided the Loan Parties may not self-insure against, and must have policies of insurance for, business
interruption and named windstorm coverage), with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where Borrower or the applicable Loan Party
operates. 
 6.11. Taxes. The Loan Parties have filed all Federal and other material tax returns and reports
required to be filed, and have paid all Federal and other material taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except those which are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP and those not yet delinquent. There is no proposed tax assessment against Borrower or any Loan Party
that would, if made, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 6.12. ERISA Compliance.

 (a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Federal
or state Laws. Each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS, is entitled to rely on a favorable opinion letter issued to the sponsor of a master or prototype
plan adopted by Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate, or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the best knowledge of Borrower, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of,
such qualification. Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to
Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan. 
 (b) There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of
Borrower, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the

(c) (i) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (ii) no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability;

Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan; and (v) neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Sections 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA. 

 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 50 

 6.13. Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, Borrower has no Subsidiaries other
than those specifically disclosed in Part (a) of Schedule 6.13, and all of the outstanding Equity Interests in such Subsidiaries have been validly issued (and, in the case of Subsidiaries that are corporations, are fully paid and
nonassessable) and are owned by a Loan Party in the amounts specified on Part (a) of Schedule 6.13 free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. As of the Closing Date, Borrower has no equity investments in any other
corporation or entity other than those specifically disclosed in Part(b) of Schedule 6.13. 
 6.14. Margin
Regulations; Investment Company Act. 
 (a) Borrower is not engaged and will not engage, principally or as one of its
important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. 

(b) None of Borrower, any Person Controlling Borrower, or any Subsidiary is or is required to be registered as an “investment
company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 6.15. Disclosure. Borrower has disclosed to Agent and
Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries 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. No report, financial statement, certificate or other information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf of any Loan Party to Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and
the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, 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 projected financial information, Borrower represents only that such information was
prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time; and provided further, that projections concerning volumes attributable to Mineral Interests or wells and production and costs estimates contained in each
Reserve Report are necessarily based upon professional opinions, estimates and projections, and the Loan Parties do not warrant that such estimates and projections will ultimately prove to have been accurate. 

6.16. Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and
all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

6.17. Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc. The Loan Parties own, or possess the right to use, all of the trademarks,
service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, without material conflict with the rights of
any other Person. To the best knowledge of Borrower, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by any Loan Party infringes upon any rights
held by any other Person. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, threatened, which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 51 

 6.18. Rights in Collateral; Priority of Liens. Borrower and each other Loan
Party own the property granted by it as Collateral under the Collateral Documents, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. Upon the proper filing of the Oil and Gas Mortgages and UCC financing statements, and the taking of the
other actions required by the Required Lenders, the Liens granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents will constitute valid and enforceable first, prior and perfected Liens on the Collateral in favor of Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders,
subject to Permitted Liens. 
 6.19. Concerning the Collateral. The Mortgaged Properties are described in and
covered by the Reserve Reports that have previously been delivered to and relied upon by Agent and Lenders in connection with this Agreement, and the Loan Parties own at least the decimal percentage Mineral Interest in such properties as specified
in such engineering reports. As of the Closing Date, Borrower has provided Agent with title information and title data reflecting title to the Mineral Interests of the Loan Parties in those Mortgaged Properties that represent at least the Required
Reserve Value of the Loan Parties’ Mineral Interests in those Mortgaged Properties included in the Borrowing Base. 

6.20. Swap Contracts and Forward Sales Contracts. As of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule 6.20, no
Loan Party is a party or subject to any Swap Contract or Forward Sales Contract. Each report delivered pursuant to Section 7.02(b) sets forth a true and complete list of (i) all Swap Contracts of Borrower and each Subsidiary, the
material terms thereof (including the type, term, effective date, termination date and notional amounts or volumes), the net mark to market value thereof, and the counterparty to each such agreement, and (ii) all Forward Sales Contracts of
Borrower and each Subsidiary and material terms thereof (including the type, term, effective date, sales date and amounts or volumes covered thereby). 

6.21. Engineering Reports. Each Loan Party executing an Oil and Gas Mortgage owns or will own the net interest and
production attributable to the wells and units evaluated in the most recent Reserve Report it has previously furnished to Agent, except such as may result from customary provisions of operating agreements requiring parties thereto to pay the share
of costs of a defaulting party or allowing for the acquisition of the interests of any nonparticipating parties. The ownership of such properties shall not in the aggregate in any material respect obligate such Loan Party to bear costs and expenses
relating to the maintenance, development and operations of such properties in an amount materially in excess of the working interests of such properties as shown in such Reserve Report. Each Loan Party executing an Oil and Gas Mortgage has paid all
royalties payable under the oil and gas leases to which it is an operator, except to those contested in accordance with the terms of the applicable joint operating agreement or otherwise contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings. Upon
delivery of each Reserve Report furnished to Lenders pursuant to Section 7.02(d) hereof, the statements made in the preceding sentences of this Section 6.21 shall be true with respect to such Reserve Report. 

6.22. Gas Balancing Agreements and Advance Payment Contracts. As of the Closing Date, (a) there is no Material Gas
Imbalance, and (b) the aggregate amount of all Advance Payments received by any Loan Party under Advance Payment Contracts that have not been satisfied by delivery of production does not exceed $100,000. 

6.23. Warranties and Collateral Documents. All of the warranties of all Loan Parties set forth in the Collateral Documents,
including without limitation those with respect to performance of obligations under oil, gas or mineral leases, sale of production and operation of properties mortgaged to Agent, are true and correct in all material respects. 

 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 52 

 6.24. Tax Shelter Regulations. Borrower does not intend to treat Loans and/or
Letters of Credit as being a “reportable transaction” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4). In the event Borrower determines to take any action inconsistent with such intention, it will promptly notify Agent
thereof. If Borrower so notifies Agent, Borrower acknowledges that one or more Lenders may treat its Loans and/or Letters of Credit as part of a transaction that is subject to Treasury Regulation Section 301.6112-1, and such Lender or Lenders,
as applicable, will maintain the lists and other records required by such Treasury Regulation. 
 6.25. OFAC. No
Loan Party nor any Affiliate of a Loan Party: (a) is a Sanctioned Person, (b) owns assets in Sanctioned Entities, or (c) derives its operating income from investments in, or transactions with Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Entities.
None of the proceeds of any Loan will be used or have been used to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Entity. For purposes of this representation, neither
Charles E. Davidson nor any of his Affiliates shall be considered to be an Affiliate of a Loan Party. 
 6.26.
Solvency. Each Loan Party is, individually and together with its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, Solvent.

Cash Management Agreements, Lender Swap Contracts, Lender Forward Sales Contracts and contingent indemnification obligations under the Loan Documents) shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied, or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding, Borrower
shall, and shall (except in the case of the covenants set forth in Sections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, and 7.12) cause each Subsidiary to:

accompanied by a report and opinion of a Registered Public Accounting Firm of reputable standing reasonably acceptable to the Agent, which report and opinion shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and applicable

Section 7.02; 
 (g) promptly, and in any event within five Business Days after receipt thereof by any Loan Party or

extent any such documents are filed or are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which Borrower posts such documents,
or provides a link thereto on Borrower’s website on the Internet at the website address listed on Schedule 11.02; or (ii) on which such documents are posted on Borrower’s behalf on an Internet or intranet website, if any, to
which each Lender and the Agent have access (whether the SEC website, a commercial, third-party website or website sponsored by the Agent); provided that: (i) Borrower shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Agent or any
Lender that requests Borrower to deliver such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Agent or such Lender and (ii) Borrower shall notify the Agent (by telecopier or electronic mail) of the posting
of any such documents and provide to the Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in every instance Borrower shall be required to provide paper copies of
the Compliance Certificates required by Section 7.02(b) to the Agent. Except for such Compliance Certificates, the Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain copies of the documents referred to above, and in
any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by Borrower with any such request for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies of such documents. 

Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) Agent will make available to Lenders and the L/C Issuer materials and/or information provided
by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the
Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Borrower hereby agrees
that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first
page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with
respect to Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in
Section 11.07); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) Agent and Arranger shall be
entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information”.

same shall become due and payable, all its obligations and liabilities, including (a) all tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its properties or assets, unless the same are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by Borrower or such Subsidiary, or such liability is not yet delinquent; and (b) all lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law
become a Lien upon its property unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by Borrower or such Subsidiary.

franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business, except to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) preserve or renew all of its registered patents,
trademarks, trade names and service marks, the non-preservation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

7.06. Maintenance of Properties. (a) Maintain, preserve and protect all of its material properties and equipment
necessary in the operation of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted; (b) make all necessary repairs thereto and renewals and replacements thereof except where the failure to do so could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) use the standard of care typical in the industry in the operation and maintenance of its facilities. 

7.07. Maintenance of Insurance. (a) Maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates
of Borrower, insurance with respect to its properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, of such types and in such amounts (after giving effect to any
self-insurance compatible with the following standards; provided the Loan Parties may not self-insure against, and must have policies of insurance for, business interruption and named windstorm coverage) as are customarily carried under
similar circumstances by such other Persons; and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the operator of its oil and gas properties to keep its oil and gas properties insured at all times against risks and to the extent that like
properties are customarily insured by other operators engaged in the same or similar activities. All such insurance policies maintained by the Loan Parties (but not those provided by other operators) shall (1) provide that Agent shall receive
prompt notice of any claims filed thereunder; and (2) contain a standard mortgagee clause in favor of Agent with loss payable for all claims in excess of $25,000 to Agent; and (3) provide that no adverse alteration or cancellation thereof

requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its business or property, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted; or (b) the failure to comply therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

7.09. Books and Records. (a) Maintain proper books of record and account, in which full, true and correct entries in
conformity with GAAP consistently applied shall be made of all material financial transactions and matters involving the material assets and business of Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be; and (b) maintain such books of record and
account in material conformity with all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having regulatory jurisdiction over Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. 

7.10. Inspection Rights. Permit representatives and independent contractors of Agent and each Lender to visit and inspect
any of its properties, to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent public accountants, if
no Event of Default exists, at the expense of Borrower for the first of such visits during any calendar year and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to
Borrower; provided, however, that when an Event of Default exists Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of Borrower at any time during normal
business hours and without advance notice; and provided further, that any such inspections of foreign properties (other than foreign Mortgaged Properties) and Foreign Subsidiaries shall be permitted only if reasonably necessary. With respect
to properties or wells not operated by a Loan Party, Borrower’s obligation shall be limited to making reasonable efforts to provide such access subject to Contractual Obligations applicable to Loan Parties related to such access by Loan Parties

ARTICLE X. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

10.01. Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders and the L/C issuer hereby irrevocably
appoints Scotia Capital to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Other than the rights of the Loan Parties under Section 10.06, (i) the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Agent, the Lenders
and the L/C Issuer, and (ii) neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. All benefits and amenities provided to Agent in this Article shall also apply to Arranger in
its capacity as sole arranger and sole book runner. 
 10.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as 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 Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated
or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory
capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. 

10.03. Exculpatory Provisions. Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and
in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any
fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 69 

 (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan
Document or applicable Law; and 
 (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any
duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.02 and 11.01) or (ii) in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to Agent by Borrower, a Lender or the L/C Issuer. 

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 or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document
or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) 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 Agent. 

10.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.
In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Agent may consult with legal counsel
(who may be counsel for 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. 

10.05. Delegation of Duties. Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or
under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by Agent. Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of 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 Agent. 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 70 

 10.06. Resignation of Agent. Agent may at any time give notice of its
resignation to Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of Borrower (but no such consent shall be required if a Default is then
continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above;
provided that if Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the
retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to
each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders and Borrower, if applicable, appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder,
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such
successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

Any resignation by Scotia Capital as Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer. Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer shall be
discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time
of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. 

10.07. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C
Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

10.08. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Bookrunner, Arranger or other Lender
holding a title listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 71 

 10.09. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency
of any Debtor Relief Law or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C
Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.08 and 11.04)
allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on
any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar
official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay
to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04. 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the
L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 

10.10. Collateral and Guarantor Matters. 

(a) Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents for the benefit
of such Lender and the L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth in Section 11.01, any action taken by the
Required Lenders, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer. Agent is hereby authorized (but not obligated) on behalf of all of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from
any Lender or the L/C Issuer from time to time prior to, an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted
pursuant to the Collateral Documents. 
 (b) Each Lender and the L/C issuer hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option
and in its discretion, 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 72 

 (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Agent under
any Loan Document (A) upon (w) termination of the Aggregate Commitments and (x) payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (y) the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit
(other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made) and (z) the termination or unwinding of, or the novation to a financial institution which is not a Lender of, all then
existing Lender Swap Contracts and Lender Forward Sales Contracts, (B) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (C) subject to Section 11.01, if
approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (D) in connection with any foreclosure sale or other disposition of Collateral after the occurrence of an Event of Default; and 

(ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien
on such property that is permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and 
 (iii) to release any
Guarantor from its obligation under any Guaranty of such Person if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. 

Upon request by Agent at any time, each Lender and the L/C Issuer will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest
in particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.10. 
 (c) Subject to (b) above, Agent
shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release or subordination of the Liens granted to Agent for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and the L/C
Issuer herein or pursuant hereto upon the applicable Collateral; provided that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to or create any liability or entail any
consequence other than the release or subordination of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release or subordination shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of
Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower or any other Loan Party, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of
Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, Agent shall be authorized to deduct all expenses reasonably incurred by Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure. 

(d) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or
is owned by Borrower or any other Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Agent herein or in any of the Collateral Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created,
perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or
available to Agent in this Section 10.10 or in any of the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem
appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to Lenders or the L/C Issuer. 

(e) Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Lenders’ and the L/C
Issuer’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender or the L/C Issuer (other than Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender or the L/C
Issuer shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrower shall indemnify
Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower. All telephonic
notices to and other telephonic communications with Agent may be recorded by Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 

11.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Agent to exercise, and no
delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. 

 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 76 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the
authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be
instituted and maintained exclusively by, Agent in accordance with Section 9.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) Agent from exercising on its own
behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its
capacity as L/C Issuer) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.12), or (d) any Lender from
filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Agent
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and
(d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.12, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. 

11.04. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay (i) all out of pocket expenses incurred by Agent, Arranger and their Affiliates
(including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Agent and Arranger), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out of pocket
expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent, Arranger, any Lender or
the L/C Issuer (including engineering charges and the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Agent, Arranger, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of Agent, Arranger,
any Lender or the L/C Issuer, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans
made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), Arranger, each Lender and the L/C
Issuer, and 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, liabilities and related
expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee,
incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the
case of Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or Letter of
Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer 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 of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, 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, whether brought by a third party or
by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE
INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) 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 or (y) result from a claim brought by Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such
Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Borrower shall
also pay any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC against, and all costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof, by Agent and/or the Lenders as a result of conduct by Borrower that
violated a sanction enforced by OFAC. 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 77 

 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), Arranger, the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to
pay to Agent (or any such sub-agent), Arranger, the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of
such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Agent (or any such sub-agent), Arranger or the L/C Issuer in
its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the
provisions of Section 2.11(c). 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No
Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

 (f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of Agent and the L/C Issuer, the
replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 78 

 11.05. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of
Borrower is made to Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of
such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment
in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 11.06. Successors and Assigns. 

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender and
no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance
with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any
party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent
provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement. 
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time 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 (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that any such
assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 
 (i) Minimum Amounts. 

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at
the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for
this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the 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 Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of Agent and, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent
assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met. 

 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 79 

 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as
an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by
subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of Borrower shall be required unless
(1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment unless
it shall object thereto by written notice to Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof); 

(B) the consent of Agent shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such
Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and 
 (C) the consent of the L/C Issuer shall be
required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); 

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and
Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The
assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (v) No Assignment
to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person. 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and
the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 11.04 with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section. 

 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 80 

 (c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at the Agent’s Office 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C
Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent 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 each of the Borrower and any Lender at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time,
without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided
that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the
Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer 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, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section and shall be subject to
Section 11.07. 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 2.12 as though it were a Lender. 
 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not
be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation
to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender. 

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under
this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (g)
Deemed Consent of Borrower. If the consent of Borrower to an assignment to an Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment threshold specified in clause (i) of
the proviso to the first sentence of Section 11.06(b)), Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent ten (10) Business Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered to Borrower by the assigning Lender (through Agent)
unless such consent is expressly refused by Borrower prior to such tenth Business Day. 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 81 

 (h) Resignation as L/C Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if at any time Scotia Capital assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Scotia Capital may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C
Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such
successor shall affect the resignation of Scotia Capital as L/C Issuer. If Scotia Capital resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit
outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, and (b) the successor L/C
Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Scotia Capital to effectively assume the obligations of Scotia Capital with
respect to such Letters of Credit. 
 11.07. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of Agent,
Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors,
officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential),
(b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section in favor of Borrower, to (i) any assignee
of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to
Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Agent, any Lender,
the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of Borrower or
any Subsidiary relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or any
Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of Information received after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Information” shall not include,
and Agent and each Lender may disclose without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4) of the
transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Agent or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or
similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall apply only to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the
tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans, Letters of Credit and transactions contemplated hereby. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Each of Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges
that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and
(c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws. 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 82 

 11.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency, but excluding deposits held in any account designated as a fiduciary account) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever
currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement (including without limitation obligations under Swap Contracts) or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office
holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender,
the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify Borrower and Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application. 
 11.09. Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties
hereto to conform strictly to Applicable Usury Laws regarding the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, whether such Laws are now or hereafter in effect, including the
Laws of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction whose Laws are applicable, and including any subsequent revisions to or judicial interpretations of those Laws, in each case to the extent they are applicable to this Agreement, the
Notes and the other Loan Documents (the “Applicable Usury Laws”). Accordingly, if any acceleration of the maturity of the Notes or any payment by Borrower or any other Person produces a rate in excess of the Maximum Amount or
otherwise results in Borrower or such other Person being deemed to have paid any interest in excess of the Maximum Amount, or if Agent or any of the Lenders shall for any reason receive any unearned interest in violation of any Applicable Usury
Laws, or if any transaction contemplated hereby would otherwise be usurious under any Applicable Usury Laws, then, in that event, regardless of any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or other agreement or instrument
executed or delivered in connection herewith, the provisions of this Section 11.09 shall govern and control, and neither Borrower nor any other Person shall be obligated to pay, or apply in any manner to, any amount that would be
excessive interest. Agent or the Lenders shall never be deemed to have contracted for or be entitled to receive, collect, charge, reserve or apply as interest on any Loan (whether termed interest therein or deemed to be interest by judicial
determination or operation of law), any amount in excess of the Maximum Amount, and, in the event that Agent or any of the Lenders ever receive, collect, or apply as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be
applied as a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such, and, if the principal amount of the applicable Loans are paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest
contracted for, received, collected, charged reserved, paid or payable, including under any specific contingency, exceeds the Maximum Amount, Borrower, Agent and the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law,
(i) characterize any non principal payment (other than payments which are expressly designated as interest payments hereunder) as an expense or fee rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and
(iii) amortize and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire stated term of the Loans so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term; provided that if the Loans are paid in full prior to the end of the full
contemplated term hereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Amount, if any, then Agent or the Lenders shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess, or credit the amount of such excess
against the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Loans made by Agent or the Lenders. As used herein, the term “Maximum Amount” means the maximum nonusurious amount of interest which may be lawfully contracted for,
reserved, charged, collected or received by Agent or such Lender in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement, the Notes and other Loan Documents under all Applicable Usury Laws, and the term “Maximum Rate”
has a corresponding meaning. Texas Finance Code, Chapter 346, which regulates certain revolving loan accounts and revolving tri-party accounts, shall not apply to any revolving loan accounts created under, or apply in any manner to, the Notes, this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
  

 CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 83 

 11.10. Counterparts ; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
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. Except as provided in
Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Agent and when Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

11.11. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan
Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Agent and
each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. 

11.12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations
to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 11.13. Legal
Representation of Agent. In connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in connection with future legal representation relating to loan administration, amendments, modifications,
waivers, or enforcement of remedies, Winstead PC only has represented and only shall represent Scotia Capital in its capacity as Agent and as a Lender. Each other Lender hereby acknowledges that Winstead PC does not represent it in connection with
any such matters.

 11.14. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender or any Participant requests
compensation under Section 3.04, if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Participant pursuant to Section 3.01, if any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and/or Participant and the Agent, require such Lender and/or Participant to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may
be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 
 (a) Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the
assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b); 
 (b) such Lender and/or Participant shall have received payment of
an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be
made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws. 

A Lender or Participant shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by
such Lender or Participant or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act. Borrower shall,
promptly following a request by Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money
laundering rules and regulations, including the Act. 
 11.18. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. 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), Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that:
(i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Agent and the Arranger, are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower and each other Loan Party, on the one hand, and Agent and the Arranger, on
the other hand, (B) each of Borrower and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) Borrower and each other Loan 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) Agent and the Arranger, each 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 Borrower, any other Loan Party, or any other Person and (B) neither Agent nor the Arranger has any
obligation to Borrower and any other Loan Party with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) Agent and the Arranger and their respective
Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower, the other Loan Parties, and neither Agent nor the Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrower or any
other Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Agent and the Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or

“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of

Lender ceases to be a Lender or such Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate of such Lender under this Agreement. No Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document as a result of the existence of obligations
owed to it under any such Lender Swap Contract or Lender Forward Sales Contract. All Lender Swap Contracts and Lender Forward Sales Contracts, if any, are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of said Lender Swap Contracts and
Lender Forward Sales Contracts, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms of the Loan or this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in
said Lender Swap Contract or Lender Forward Sales Contract, and any payoff statement from any Lender relating to this Agreement shall not apply to said Lender Swap Contracts and Lender Forward Sales Contracts except as otherwise expressly provided

to be a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender under this Agreement. No Cash Management Party shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any Secured Cash Management Agreement. All

reduction, increase or change in the terms of the Loan or this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in said Secured Cash Management Contract. Any payoff statement from any Lender relating to this Agreement shall not apply to a Secured
Cash Management Contract, except as otherwise expressly provided in said payoff statement.
