 Exhibit 10.2 

Execution Version 

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT 

This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of July 17, 2018, by and between Berry
Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the parties identified on Schedule I hereto (each a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”).

 Background 

A. Each Seller desires to sell to the Company, at the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the number of
shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Schedule I hereto (each such share of Common Stock to be sold by such Seller, a
“Purchased Interest” of such Seller); provided that in the event of a decrease (such decrease, a “Downsize”) in the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold in the Public Offering (as defined
herein), which decrease shall be in the sole discretion of a Pricing Committee of the board of directors of the Company (the “Pricing Committee”), the Purchased Interests of each Seller shall be adjusted as set forth in the
footnotes to Schedule I; 
 B. The Company desires to purchase each Seller’s Purchased Interests at the price and upon the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Purchases”); 
 C. The Company is conducting a public offering (the
“Public Offering”) of shares of its Common Stock (the “Underwritten Shares”) pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, expected to be entered into on or about July 25, 2018 (the
“Underwriting Agreement”); 
 D. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds received from the Public
Offering to complete the Purchases. 
 E. The board of directors of the Company has approved the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), which approval is intended to exempt each disposition by each Seller of its
respective Purchased Interests, to the extent that such Seller or any person affiliated with it may be deemed an officer or director of the Company, including a “director by deputization,” from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agree as follows: 
 Agreement 

1. Purchase. 
 (a)
Firm Closing 
 i. At the Firm Closing (as defined below), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions and to the terms set forth
in paragraphs 1(a)(ii) and 1(a)(iii) below, each Seller, 

 
severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to transfer, assign, sell, convey and deliver to the Company 100% of its right, title and interest in and to such Seller’s Purchased Interests, and
the Company hereby agrees to purchase such Purchased Interests, at a purchase price per Purchased Interest equal to the per share price at which the Company sells the Underwritten Shares to the underwriters in the Public Offering (the
“Per Share Purchase Price”). 
 ii. The obligations of the Company to purchase Purchased Interests from any Seller
at the Firm Closing shall be subject to (x) the closing of the Public Offering, (y) the representations and warranties of such Seller hereunder being true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing and (iii) such Seller
having complied in all material respects with all of the covenants required to be performed by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement on or prior to the Firm Closing. 

iii. The closing of the sale of the Purchased Interests (the “Firm Closing”) shall take place
immediately following the initial closing of the Public Offering, at the offices of the Company, or at such other time and place as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Sellers. 

iv. At the Firm Closing, each Seller shall deliver to the Company, or as instructed by the Company, duly executed transfer powers relating to
such Seller’s Purchased Interests and the Company agrees to deliver to such Seller the Applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) specified in writing by such Seller. “Applicable
Purchase Price” means, with respect to any Seller, the product of the Per Share Purchase Price and the aggregate number of Purchased Interests being sold by such Seller at such closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

(b) (i) Based on the representations in Section 3(g) and (h) and subject to Section 1(b)(ii) and (iii) below, neither the
Company nor any of its affiliates shall withhold any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any other applicable law. If the Internal Revenue
Service issues a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (or similar Notice) that the Company was required to withhold and remit tax under Section 1445 of the Code on the proceeds payable to a Seller pursuant to this Agreement, then at the Company’s
request, such Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide within 30 days evidence (intended to be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of United States Treasury
Regulations Section 1.1445-1(e)(3)) that such Seller has filed all federal income tax returns required to be filed by such Seller (and paid all federal income tax shown as due from such Seller
on such returns) with respect to the Purchase from such Seller pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, at the election of such Seller, such Seller may provide any such evidence directly to the Internal Revenue Service and not to the Company
or any other third-party. 
 (ii) (A) Within forty-five days from the Firm Closing, the Sellers will provide the Company with relevant
information and any additional information reasonably requested by the Company in order for the Company and Sellers to cooperate in good faith to determine whether the Purchases are redemptions treated as exchanges as defined in Section 302(b)
of the Code (such treatment, the “Exchange Treatment”). If the parties cannot agree on such determination, they shall refer the question to an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to the parties who shall make such
determination. The Company shall bear one-half and the Purchasers shall bear one-half of the fees, 

  
 2 

 
costs and expenses of the accounting firm. If the parties agree, or the independent accounting firm determines, that the Purchases qualify for Exchange Treatment, the parties shall file their tax
returns in a manner consistent with such determination and the Company shall not send the Sellers a Form 1099 reporting the Purchases as a dividend. 

(B) If the parties finally determine that the Purchases do not qualify for Exchange Treatment in accordance with Section 1(b)(ii)(A)
above, any Non-U.S. Seller (as defined below), shall remit the amount of such withholding taxes and any associated interest and penalties to the Company to remit to the IRS in respect of such Non-U.S. Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if neither Seller is a Non-U.S. Seller, this Section 1(b)(ii)(B) shall not apply and shall be treated as if it were not
contained in the Agreement. 
 (C) For these purposes, to the extent that the parties finally determine that the Purchases do not qualify for
Exchange Treatment, for purposes of determining the amount of a dividend subject to withholding, the Company and Sellers shall cooperate in good faith to determine an earnings and profits estimate (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes)
in a manner consistent with U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-3(c) to reduce, if applicable, the amount of any dividend, and shall cooperate with any Seller in providing relevant information with
respect to any Seller seeking eligible refunds of any amounts so withheld. To the extent that any estimate of earnings and profits is less than the actual earnings and profits as determined for such year, procedures consistent with
Section 1(b)(ii)(B) shall apply for purposes of any true-up of withholding obligations based on the final earnings and profits determination and a Non-U.S. Seller
shall pay or withhold such amounts in a manner consistent with Section 1(b)(ii)(B). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if neither Seller is a Non-U.S. Seller, the last sentence of this
Section 1(b)(ii)(C) shall not apply and shall be treated as if it were not contained in the Agreement. 
 (iii) If the Internal
Revenue Service (or any state or local governmental authority) makes a determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or equivalent law for state or local tax purposes) that the Purchases do not qualify for the Exchange
Treatment, any relevant Seller that is a Non-U.S. Seller shall severally and not jointly indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against any withholding taxes and associated interest and penalties
that the Company may suffer, sustain or become subject to, that arises out of, or results from or relates to such determination that the Purchases do not qualify for the Exchange Treatment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if neither Seller is a Non-U.S. Seller, this Section 1(b)(iii) shall not apply and shall be treated as if it were not contained in the Agreement. 

(iv) If, before the date of the Firm Closing, any Seller wishes to transfer its shares to an affiliate that is not a Non-U.S. Seller and that is directly or indirectly owned and controlled by the same investors and controlling entities, Company shall cooperate with Seller to permit such transfer and the transferee shall sign a
joinder to this Agreement.

qualifications, waivers and amendments as will have been obtained or made as of the date of this Agreement, and except, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (A) the
business, operations, results of operations, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (B) the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”); and no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, including the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except where the failure to obtain or make any such consent, approval, authorization,
order, registration or qualification would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 3. Representations of the

(a) Such Seller is duly organized and existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.

 4 

 
regulations of any exchange); and such Seller has full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to sell, assign, transfer and deliver the Purchased Interests to be sold by such
Seller hereunder, except for such consents, approvals, authorizations and orders as would not impair in any material respect the consummation of such Seller’s obligations hereunder. 

(c) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Seller and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such Seller,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equitable principles. 

(d) The sale of the Purchased Interests to be sold by such Seller hereunder and the compliance by such Seller with all of the provisions of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (i) does not and will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any statute, indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such Seller is a party or by which such Seller is bound or to which any of the property or assets of such Seller is subject as of the date hereof, (ii) and will
not result in any violation of the provisions of any organizational or similar documents pursuant to which such Seller was formed (to the extent such Seller is not an individual) or any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or
governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over such Seller or the property of such Seller; except in the case of clause (i) or clause (ii), for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults as would not impair in any material respect
the consummation of such Seller’s obligations hereunder. 
 (e) As of the date hereof and immediately prior to the delivery of its
Purchased Interests to the Company at the Firm Closing, such Seller holds good and valid title to the Purchased Interests to be sold at the Firm Closing or a securities entitlement in respect thereof, and holds, and will hold until delivered to the
Company, such Purchased Interests free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or claims; and, upon delivery of such Purchased Interests (including by crediting to a securities account of the Company) and payment therefor pursuant hereto,
assuming that the Company has no notice of any adverse claims within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York from time to time
(the “UCC”), (A) under 8-501 of the UCC, the Company will acquire a valid security entitlement (within the meaning
of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) to such Purchased Interests purchased by the Company and (B) no action (whether framed in conversion, replevin, constructive trust, equitable lien or
other theory) based on an adverse claim (within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the UCC) to such security entitlement may be asserted against the Company. 

(f) Such Seller (either alone or together with its advisors) has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is

the Purchases as it has requested. Such Seller has received all information that it believes is necessary or appropriate in connection with the Purchases. Such Seller is an informed and sophisticated party and has engaged, to the extent such Seller
deems appropriate, expert advisors experienced in the evaluation of transactions of the type contemplated hereby. Such Seller acknowledges that such Seller has not relied upon any express or implied 

  
 5 

 
representations or warranties of any nature made by or on behalf of the Company, whether or not any such representations, warranties or statements were made in writing or orally, except as
expressly set forth for the benefit of such Seller in this Agreement. 
 (g) If such Seller (or if such Seller is a disregarded entity for
U.S. federal income tax purposes (“Disregarded Entity”), its regarded tax owner) is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), such Seller (or if such Seller is a
Disregarded Entity, its regarded tax owner) will deliver, on or prior to the Firm Closing, (i) a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) a certificate of non-foreign status of Seller in the form of Exhibit A.  
 (h) If such Seller (or if such Seller is
a Disregarded Entity, its regarded tax owner) is not a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Non-U.S. Seller”), such Seller
(or if such Seller is a Disregarded Entity, its regarded tax owner) will deliver, (i) on or prior to the Firm Closing, a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 and (ii) on
or prior to the Firm Closing, a certificate that such Seller’s interest in the Common Stock does not constitute a U.S. real property interest under the provisions of Section 897 of the Code and the corresponding Treasury Regulations in the
form of Exhibit B. If, as of the time of the Firm Closing (including as a result of a transfer permitted under Section 1(b)(iv), neither Seller is a Non-U.S. Seller, this Section 3(h) shall
not apply and shall be treated as if it were not in the Agreement.

 [Schedule I to Purchase Agreement] 

 Exhibit A 

CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS 

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property
interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. In addition, under Section 1445(e) of the Code, a corporation must withhold tax with respect to certain transfers of property if a holder of an interest in the entity is a
foreign person. For U.S. federal income tax purposes (including Sections 1445 of the Code), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the
disregarded entity. 
 Terms not defined in this Certification of Non-Foreign Status shall have the meaning of the
terms set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into as of July     , 2018, by and between Berry Petroleum Corporation (the “Transferee”) and each of the
parties identified on Schedule I to the Agreement. 
 To inform the Transferee that withholding of tax is not required pursuant to Section 1445 of the
Code upon the disposition by [(1) if transferor is a Regarded Tax Person: [[Name of Transferring LLC, Corporation, or Partnership] (“Transferor”) of the Common Stock pursuant to the Agreement, the undersigned hereby
certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:] or (2) if transferor is a Disregarded Entity: [[Name of Disregarded Entity] of the Common Stock pursuant to the Agreement, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf
of [Name of Transferring LLC, Corporation, or Partnership] (“Transferor”):] 
  

	 	1.	 [If transferor is a Disregarded Entity]: [[Name of Disregarded Entity] is a disregarded entity, as
defined in Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations, and is disregarded as separate from Transferor for U.S. federal income tax purposes;] 

 

	 	2.	 Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as those terms
are defined in the Code and Income Tax Regulations); 

  

	 	3.	 Transferor is not a disregarded entity, as defined in
Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations; 

  

	 	4.	 Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is
[    -            ]; and 

  

	 	5.	 Transferor’s office address is: 

[Street] 

[City, State, Zip Code] 

[Exhibit A to Purchase Agreement] 

 Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by
Transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both. Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct
and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.

 [Exhibit A to Purchase Agreement] 

 Exhibit B 

FOREIGN SELLER OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATION 

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property
interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. 
 Treasury Regulation
Section 1.897-1(c)(2)(iii) excludes certain interests in publicly traded U.S. corporations from the definition of “United States real property interest.” Such excluded interests include any
class of stock of a domestic corporation that is regularly traded on an established securities market if such interest is owned by a person who beneficially owns five percent or less of the total fair market value of that class of interests at any
time during the five-year period ending on the date of disposition of such interest. 
 For purposes of this five percent ownership test, the Common Stock
held by a beneficial owner are aggregated with Common Stock held by certain other related beneficial owners under the constructive ownership rules referred to in the last sentence of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.897-9T(b) (the “Constructive Ownership Rules”). 
 For U.S. federal income
tax purposes (including Sections 1445 of the Code), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. 

Terms not defined in this Foreign Seller Ownership Certification shall have the meaning of the terms set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement (the
“Agreement”) entered into as of July     , 2018, by and between Berry Petroleum Corporation (the “Transferee”) and each of the parties identified on Schedule I to the Agreement.

 To inform the Transferee that withholding of tax is not required pursuant to Section 1445 upon the disposition by [(1) if transferor is a
Regarded Tax Person: [[Name of Transferring LLC, Corporation, or Partnership] (“Transferor”) of the Common Stock pursuant to the Agreement, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:] or
(2) if transferor is a Disregarded Entity: [[Name of Disregarded Entity] of the Common Stock pursuant to the Agreement, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of [Name of Transferring LLC, Corporation, or

 Exhibit 10.3 

Execution Version 

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT 

This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of July 17, 2018, by and between Berry
Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the parties identified on Schedule I hereto (each a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”).

 Background 

A. Each Seller desires to sell to the Company, at the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the number of
shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Schedule I hereto under the heading “Firm Purchased Interests” or
“Option Purchased Interests” (each such share of Common Stock to be sold by such Seller, a “Purchased Interest” of such Seller), provided that in the event of an increase (such increase, an
“Upsize”) or decrease (such decrease, a “Downsize”) in the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold in the Public Offering (as defined herein), which increase or decrease shall be in the sole
discretion of a Pricing Committee of the board of directors of the Company (the “Pricing Committee”), the Purchased Interest of each Seller shall be adjusted as set forth in the footnotes to Schedule I; provided
further that in no event shall the aggregate number of Purchased Interests to be sold by any Seller pursuant to this Agreement exceed the number of Purchased Interests set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Schedule I hereto under the
heading “Maximum Purchased Interests”; 
 B. The Company desires to purchase each Seller’s Purchased Interests at the price
and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Purchases”); 
 C. The Company is conducting a
public offering (the “Public Offering”) of shares of its Common Stock (the “Underwritten Shares”) pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, expected to be entered into on or about July 25, 2018 (the
“Underwriting Agreement”); 
 D. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds received from the Public
Offering to complete the Purchases. 
 E. The board of directors of the Company has approved the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), which approval is intended to exempt each disposition by each Seller of its
respective Purchased Interests, to the extent that such Seller or any person affiliated with it may be deemed an officer or director of the Company, including a “director by deputization,” from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. 

 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agree as follows: 
 Agreement

 1. Purchase. 

(a) Firm Closing 
 i. At
the Firm Closing (as defined below), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions and to the terms set forth in paragraphs 1(a)(ii) and 1(a)(iii) below, each Seller, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to transfer, assign, sell,
convey and deliver to the Company 100% of its right, title and interest in and to the number of Purchased Interests set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Schedule I hereto under the heading “Firm Purchased Interests” (each
such share of Common Stock to be sold by such Seller, a “Firm Purchased Interest”) , and the Company hereby agrees to purchase such Purchased Interests, at a purchase price per Purchased Interest equal to
the per share price at which the Company sells the Underwritten Shares to the underwriters in the Public Offering (the “Per Share Purchase Price”). 

ii. The obligations of the Company to purchase Purchased Interests from any Seller at the Firm Closing shall be subject to (x) the
closing of the Public Offering, (y) the representations and warranties of such Seller hereunder being true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing and (z) such Seller having complied in all material respects with all of the
covenants required to be performed by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement on or prior to the Firm Closing. 
 iii. The closing of the
sale of the Firm Purchased Interests (the “Firm Closing”) shall take place immediately following the initial closing of the Public Offering, at the offices of the Company, or at such other time and place as may
be agreed upon by the Company and the Sellers. 
 iv. At the Firm Closing, each Seller shall deliver to the Company, or as instructed by
the Company, duly executed transfer powers relating to such Seller’s Firm Purchased Interests and the Company agrees to deliver to such Seller the Applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s)
specified in writing by such Seller. “Applicable Purchase Price” means, with respect to any Seller, the product of the Per Share Purchase Price and the aggregate number of Purchased Interests being sold by such Seller at such
closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 (b) Option Closing 

i. At each Option Closing (as defined below), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions and to the terms set forth in paragraphs
1(b)(ii) and 1(b)(iii) below, each Seller, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to transfer, assign, sell, convey and deliver to the Company 100% of its right, title and interest in and to the number of Purchased Interests determined
by multiplying (x) the number of Purchased Interests set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Schedule I hereto under the heading “Option Purchased Interests” (each such share of Common Stock to be sold by such Seller, an
“Option Purchased Interest”) by (y) the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock to be sold at such Greenshoe Closing (as defined herein) divided by (b) the total
number of shares of Common Stock that may be sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Greenshoe”), and the
Company hereby agrees to purchase such Purchased Interests at a purchase price per Purchased Interest equal to the Per Share Purchase Price. 

  
 -2- 

 ii. The obligations of the Company to purchase Purchased Interests from any Seller at any
Option Closing shall be subject to (x) the closing of the applicable Greenshoe Closing, (y) the representations and warranties of such Seller hereunder being true and correct in all material respects as of such Option Closing and
(z) such Seller having complied in all material respects with all of the covenants required to be performed by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement on or prior to the Option Closing. 

iii. Each closing of the sale of Option Purchased Interests (each, an “Option Closing,” and each Firm Closing
or Option Closing, a “Closing”) shall take place immediately following any additional closing of the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the Greenshoe (each, a “Greenshoe Closing”), which Greenshoe
Closing may occur on, but not prior to, the same date and time as the initial closing of the Public Offering, at the offices of the Company, or at such other time and place as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Sellers. 

iv. At each Option Closing, each Seller shall deliver to the Company, or as instructed by the Company, duly executed transfer powers relating
to the Option Purchased Interests to be sold by such Seller at such Option Closing, and the Company agrees to deliver to such Seller the Applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) specified in writing
by such Seller. 
 (c) Based on the representations in Section 3(g) and (h), neither the Company nor any of its affiliates intends to
withhold any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement pursuant to Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If the Internal Revenue Service issues a Notice of Proposed Adjustment
(or similar Notice) that the Company was required to withhold and remit tax under Section 1445 of the Code on the proceeds payable to a Seller pursuant to this Agreement, then at the Company’s request, such Seller shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide within 30 days evidence (intended to be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-1(e)(3)) that such Seller has filed all
federal income tax returns required to be filed by such Seller (and paid all federal income tax shown as due from such Seller on such returns) with respect to the Purchases from such Seller pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, at the
election of such Seller, such Seller may provide any such evidence directly to the Internal Revenue Service and not to the Company or any other third-party. 

2. Company Representations. In connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company represents and warrants as of the date
hereof to the Sellers that: 
 (a) The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 

(b) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the
Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equitable
principles. 

  
 -3- 

 (c) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or
other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject,
(ii) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws, or other organizational documents, as applicable, of the Company or its subsidiaries or (iii) violate any statute
or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their properties, in the case of each such clause, after giving effect to any consents, approvals,
authorizations, orders, registrations, qualifications, waivers and amendments as will have been obtained or made as of the date of this Agreement, and except, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), as would not reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on (A) the business, operations, results of operations, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (B) the ability of the Company to consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”); and no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such court or governmental agency or body is required
for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, including the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except where the failure to obtain or make any such
consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

3. Representations of the Sellers. In connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the Sellers, severally and not
jointly, represents and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees that: 
 (a) Such Seller is duly organized
and existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. 
 (b) All consents, approvals, authorizations and orders necessary for the
execution and delivery by such Seller of this Agreement and for the sale and delivery of the Purchased Interests to be sold by such Seller hereunder, have been obtained (except for such consents, approvals, filings, authorizations and orders as may
be required under the Securities Act of 1933, state securities or Blue Sky laws, the rules and regulations of FINRA or the rules and regulations of any exchange); and such Seller has full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and
to sell, assign, transfer and deliver the Purchased Interests to be sold by such Seller hereunder, except for such consents, approvals, authorizations and orders as would not impair in any material respect the consummation of such Seller’s
obligations hereunder. 
 (c) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Seller and constitutes a valid and binding
agreement of such Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general
equitable principles. 

  
 -4- 

 (d) The sale of the Purchased Interests to be sold by such Seller hereunder and the
compliance by such Seller with all of the provisions of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (i) does not and will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of,
or constitute a default under, any statute, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such Seller is a party or by which such Seller is bound or to which any of the property or assets of such Seller
is subject as of the date hereof, (ii) and will not result in any violation of the provisions of any organizational or similar documents pursuant to which such Seller was formed (to the extent such Seller is not an individual) or any statute or
any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over such Seller or the property of such Seller; except in the case of clause (i) or clause (ii), for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults
as would not impair in any material respect the consummation of such Seller’s obligations hereunder. 
 (e) As of the date hereof and
immediately prior to the delivery of its Purchased Interests to the Company at any Closing, such Seller holds good and valid title to the Purchased Interests to be sold at such Closing or a securities entitlement in respect thereof, and holds, and
will hold until delivered to the Company, such Purchased Interests free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or claims; and, upon delivery of such Purchased Interests (including by crediting to a securities account of the Company) and
payment therefor pursuant hereto, assuming that the Company has no notice of any adverse claims within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the
State of New York from time to time (the “UCC”), (A) under 8-501 of the UCC, the Company will acquire a valid security entitlement (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) to such Purchased Interests purchased by the Company and (B) no action (whether framed in conversion, replevin, constructive trust, equitable lien or other
theory) based on an adverse claim (within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the UCC) to such security entitlement may be asserted against the Company. 

(f) Such Seller (either alone or together with its advisors) has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Purchases. Such Seller has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the Purchases, and has had full access to such other information concerning
the Purchases as it has requested. Such Seller has received all information that it believes is necessary or appropriate in connection with the Purchases. Such Seller is an informed and sophisticated party and has engaged, to the extent such Seller
deems appropriate, expert advisors experienced in the evaluation of transactions of the type contemplated hereby. Such Seller acknowledges that such Seller has not relied upon any express or implied representations or warranties of any nature made
by or on behalf of the Company, whether or not any such representations, warranties or statements were made in writing or orally, except as expressly set forth for the benefit of such Seller in this Agreement. 

(g) If such Seller (or if such Seller is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“Disregarded
Entity”), its regarded tax owner) is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), such Seller (or if such Seller is a Disregarded Entity, its regarded tax owner) will deliver, on or
prior to the Firm Closing, (i) a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) a certificate of non-foreign status of Seller in
the form of Exhibit A. 

  
 -5- 

 (h) If such Seller (or if such Seller is a Disregarded Entity, its regarded tax owner) is
not a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), (i) such Seller represents that the sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement is treated as an exchange of stock under section 302(a) of
the Code and (ii) such Seller (or if such Seller is a Disregarded Entity, its regarded tax owner) will deliver, (i) on or prior to the Firm Closing, a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 and (ii) on or prior to the Firm Closing and each Option Closing, a certificate that such Seller’s interest in the Common Stock does not constitute a U.S. real property interest under the provisions of
Section 897 of the Code and the corresponding Treasury Regulations in the form of Exhibit B. 
 4. Termination. This
Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect in the event that the Firm Closing has not occurred on or prior to August 15, 2018. 

5. Notices. All notices, demands or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this

arising under contract, tort or otherwise, shall be brought, heard and determined exclusively in the federal court of the Southern District of New York (provided, that, in the event that subject matter jurisdiction is unavailable in that court, then

 Exhibit A 

CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS 

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property
interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. In addition, under Section 1445(e) of the Code, a corporation must withhold tax with respect to certain transfers of property if a holder of an interest in the entity is a
foreign person. For U.S. federal income tax purposes (including Sections 1445 of the Code), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the
disregarded entity. 
 Terms not defined in this Certification of Non-Foreign Status shall have the meaning of the
terms set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into as of July     , 2018, by and between Berry Petroleum Corporation (the “Transferee”) and each of the
parties identified on Schedule I to the Agreement. 
 To inform the Transferee that withholding of tax is not required pursuant to Section 1445 of the
Code upon the disposition by [(1) if transferor is a Regarded Tax Person: [[Name of Transferring LLC, Corporation, or Partnership] (“Transferor”) of the Common Stock pursuant to the Agreement, the undersigned hereby
certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:] or (2) if transferor is a Disregarded Entity: [[Name of Disregarded Entity] of the Common Stock pursuant to the Agreement, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf
of [Name of Transferring LLC, Corporation, or Partnership] (“Transferor”):] 
  

	 	1.	 [If transferor is a Disregarded Entity]: [[Name of Disregarded Entity] is a disregarded entity, as
defined in Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations, and is disregarded as separate from Transferor for U.S. federal income tax purposes;] 

 

	 	2.	 Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as those terms
are defined in the Code and Income Tax Regulations); 

  

	 	3.	 Transferor is not a disregarded entity, as defined in
Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations;

 Exhibit B 

FOREIGN SELLER OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATION 

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property
interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. 
 Treasury Regulation
Section 1.897-1(c)(2)(iii) excludes certain interests in publicly traded U.S. corporations from the definition of “United States real property interest.” Such excluded interests include any
class of stock of a domestic corporation that is regularly traded on an established securities market if such interest is owned by a person who beneficially owns five percent or less of the total fair market value of that class of interests at any
time during the five-year period ending on the date of disposition of such interest. 
 For purposes of this five percent ownership test, the Common Stock
held by a beneficial owner are aggregated with Common Stock held by certain other related beneficial owners under the constructive ownership rules referred to in the last sentence of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.897-9T(b) (the “Constructive Ownership Rules”). 
 For U.S. federal income
tax purposes (including Sections 1445 of the Code), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. 

Terms not defined in this Foreign Seller Ownership Certification shall have the meaning of the terms set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement (the
“Agreement”) entered into as of July     , 2018, by and between Berry Petroleum Corporation (the “Transferee”) and each of the parties identified on Schedule I to the Agreement.

 To inform the Transferee that withholding of tax is not required pursuant to Section 1445 upon the disposition by [(1) if transferor is a
Regarded Tax Person: [[Name of Transferring LLC, Corporation, or Partnership] (“Transferor”) of the Common Stock pursuant to the Agreement, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:] or
(2) if transferor is a Disregarded Entity: [[Name of Disregarded Entity] of the Common Stock pursuant to the Agreement, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of [Name of Transferring LLC, Corporation, or
Partnership] (“Transferor”):] 
  

	 	1.	 [If transferor is a Disregarded Entity]: [[Name of Disregarded Entity] is a disregarded entity, as
defined in Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations, and is disregarded as separate from Transferor for U.S. federal income tax purposes;] 

 

	 	2.	 Transferor is not a disregarded entity, as defined in
Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations; 

  

	 	3.	 Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number, if any, is
[    -            ]; and 

  

	 	4.	 Transferor’s office address is: 

[Street] 

[City, State, Zip Code] 

[Exhibit B to Purchase Agreement] 

	 	5.	 Transferor, together with any person whose ownership of Common Stock would be attributed to the Transferor
under the Constructive Ownership Rules, do not currently hold, and have never held, Common Stock of greater than five percent of the total fair market value of the Common Stock at any time during the five-year period ending on the [Firm
Closing][Option Closing]. 

 Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Transferee
and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both. Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete,
and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.
