“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per
annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/100 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate. 

“Administrative Agent” has the meaning set forth in the Preamble. 

“Administrative Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied from time to time by the
Administrative Agent. 
 “Affected Loans” has the meaning assigned such term in

 “Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount” at any time shall equal the sum of the

“Agreement” means this Credit Agreement, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or
restated. 
 “Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) the
Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus  1⁄2 of 1%, and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (based
on an Interest Period of 30 days) in effect on such day plus 1%. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the
effective date of such change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively; provided that if the Alternate Base Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes
of this Agreement. 
 “Anti-Corruption Laws” means all state or federal laws, rules, and regulations applicable to
the Borrower or any of its Affiliates from time to time concerning or relating to bribery or corruption, including the FCPA.  

“Applicable Margin” means, for any day, with respect to any ABR Loan or Eurodollar Loan, or with respect to the
Commitment Fee Rate, as the case may be, the rate per annum set forth in the Borrowing Base Utilization Grid below based upon the Borrowing Base Utilization Percentage then in effect:

	 5
	  	390%	 	3.50%	 	2.50%	 	0.500%	 	3.50%

 Each change in the Applicable Margin shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such

(b)    Types of Loans. Subject to Section 3.03, each Borrowing shall be
comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan;

Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount

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 Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records
of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through Administrative Agent,

(iii)    whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; 

(iv)    in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which
shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; 
 (v)    the
amount of the then effective Borrowing Base, the current total Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to the requested Borrowing) and the pro forma total Revolving Credit Exposures (giving effect to the requested Borrowing); 

(vi)    the Consolidated Cash Balance (without regard to the requested Borrowing) and the pro forma
Consolidated Cash Balance (giving effect to the requested Borrowing) as of the end of the third Business Day after such requested Borrowing will be funded; and 

(vii)    the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which
shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.05. 
 If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested
Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Each Borrowing Request
shall constitute a representation (1) that the amount of the requested Borrowing shall not cause the total Revolving Credit Exposures to exceed the total Commitments (i.e., the lesser of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts and the then
effective Borrowing Base) and (2) that as of the end of the third Business Day after such requested Borrowing will be funded, after giving pro forma effect to the requested Borrowing, the Consolidated Cash Balance shall not exceed $10,000,000.

  
 31 

 Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03,
the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 

Section 2.04.    Interest Elections. 

(a)    Conversion and Continuance. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the
applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue
such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.04. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the
affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 

(b)    Interest Election Requests. To make an election pursuant to this
Section 2.04, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were
requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or sent by
facsimile or electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in substantially the form of Exhibit C and signed by the Borrower. 

(c)    Information in Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election
Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(i)    the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being
elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(iii) and (iv) shall
be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant
to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii)    whether the resulting
Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv)    if the resulting Borrowing
is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

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

  
 32 

 (d)    Notice to Lenders by the Administrative Agent.
Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e)    Effect of Failure to Deliver Timely Interest Election Request and Events of Default and Borrowing
Base Deficiencies on Interest Election. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid
as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default or a Borrowing Base Deficiency has occurred and is continuing:
(i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing (and any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
ineffective) and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

Section 2.05.    Funding of Borrowings. 

(a)    Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the
proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans
available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that
ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.08(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to
obtain the funds for its 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 its Loan in any particular place or manner. 

(b)    Presumption of Funding by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from a Lender (x) in the case of ABR Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of the proposed Borrowing and (y) otherwise, prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative
Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.05(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to
the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
(i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any
administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Type of Loan elected by
the Borrower with respect to such amount. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such
interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such 

  
 33 

 
Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such
payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 2.06.    Termination and Reduction of Aggregate Maximum Credit
Amounts. 
 (a)    Scheduled Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the
Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. If at any time the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts or the Borrowing Base is terminated or reduced to zero, then the Commitments shall terminate on the effective date of such termination or
reduction. 
 (b)    Optional Termination and Reduction of Aggregate Credit Amounts. 

(i)    The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Aggregate Maximum Credit
Amounts; provided that (A) each reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (B) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the
Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 3.04(c), the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments. 

(ii)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the
Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts under Section 2.06(b)(i) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly
following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(ii) shall be irrevocable. Any termination or
reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts shall be permanent and may not be reinstated. Each reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable
Percentage. 
 Section 2.07.    Borrowing Base. 

(a)    Borrowing Base. The term “Borrowing Base” means, as of the date of
the determination thereof, the designated loan value as calculated by all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders (and including any Lenders who have been deemed to have approved such Borrowing Base), as applicable, in their sole discretion assigned
to the discounted present value of future net income accruing to the Mortgaged Property, based upon the Lenders’ in-house evaluation of the Mortgaged Property. The Lenders’ or Required Lenders’
(and including any Lenders who have been deemed to have approved such Borrowing Base) 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 such Lender from time to time for its petroleum industry customers. For the period from and including the Sixth Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the first Redetermination Date
thereafter, the amount of the Borrowing Base shall be $160,000,000, unless otherwise adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

(b)    Scheduled and Interim Redeterminations. The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined
semi-annually in accordance with this Section 2.07 (a “Scheduled Redetermination”), and, subject to Section 2.07(d), such redetermined Borrowing Base shall

  
 34 

 
become effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders on or about May 1st and November 1st of each year. In addition, the Borrower may, by notifying the
Administrative Agent thereof, one time during any 12-month period, and the Administrative Agent may, one time during any 12-month period, at the direction of the
Required Lenders, by notifying the Borrower thereof, each elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined between Scheduled Redeterminations (an “Interim Redetermination”) in accordance with this
Section 2.07. 
 (c)    Scheduled and Interim Redetermination
Procedure. 
 (i)    Each Scheduled Redetermination and each Interim Redetermination shall be
effectuated as follows: Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of (A) the Reserve Report and the certificate required to be delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, pursuant to
Section 8.12(a) and (c), and, in the case of an Interim Redetermination, pursuant to Section 8.12(b) and (c), and (B) such other reports, data and supplemental information,
including, without limitation, the information provided pursuant to Section 8.12(c), as may, from time to time, be reasonably requested by the Required Lenders (the Reserve Report, such certificate and such other reports,
data and supplemental information being the “Engineering Reports”), the Administrative Agent shall evaluate the information contained in the Engineering Reports and shall, in its sole discretion, propose a new Borrowing Base
(the “Proposed Borrowing Base”) based upon such information and such other information (including, without limitation, the status of title information with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties as described in the Engineering
Reports and the existence of any other Debt) as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate in its sole discretion and consistent with its normal oil and gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time. In no event shall the Proposed
Borrowing Base exceed the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts. 
 (ii)    The Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Proposed Borrowing Base (the “Proposed Borrowing Base Notice”): 

(A)    in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination (x) if the
Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on
or before April 1st and October 1st of such year following the date of delivery or (y) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the
Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then promptly after the Administrative Agent has
received complete Engineering Reports from the Borrower and has had a reasonable opportunity to determine the Proposed Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.07(c)(i); and 

(B)    in the case of an Interim Redetermination, promptly, and in any event, within fifteen
(15) days after the Administrative Agent has received the required Engineering Reports. 

  
 35 

 (iii)    Any Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the
Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved or deemed to have been approved by all of the Lenders as provided in this Section 2.07(c)(iii); and any Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing
Base then in effect must be approved or be deemed to have been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in this Section 2.07(c)(iii). Upon receipt of the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice, each Lender shall have fifteen
(15) days to agree with the Proposed Borrowing Base or disagree with the Proposed Borrowing Base by proposing an alternate Borrowing Base. All decisions regarding the Borrowing Base shall be made by each Lender in its sole discretion. If at the
end of such fifteen (15) days, any Lender has not communicated its approval or disapproval in writing to the Administrative Agent, such non-response shall be deemed to be an approval of the Proposed
Borrowing Base. If, at the end of such 15-day period, all of the Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, or the Required Lenders, in the case of
a Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect, have approved or been deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, then the Proposed Borrowing Base shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date
specified in Section 2.07(d). If, however, at the end of such 15-day period, all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, have not approved or been deemed to have
approved, as aforesaid, the Proposed Borrowing Base, then the Administrative Agent shall poll the Lenders to ascertain the highest Borrowing Base then acceptable to all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, and such amount shall
become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in Section 2.07(d). 

(d)    Effectiveness of a Redetermined Borrowing Base. After a redetermined Borrowing Base is
approved or is deemed to have been approved by all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the amount of
the redetermined Borrowing Base (the “New Borrowing Base Notice”), and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders:

 (i)    in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, (A) if the Administrative Agent shall have
received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on May 1st or November 1st, as applicable, following such
notice, or (B) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then
on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice; and 
 (ii)    in the case of an Interim
Redetermination, on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice. 
 Such amount shall then become the Borrowing Base until the
next Scheduled Redetermination Date, the next Interim Redetermination Date or the next adjustment to the Borrowing Base under Section 2.07(e) or otherwise hereunder, whichever occurs first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Scheduled Redetermination or Interim Redetermination shall become effective until the New Borrowing Base Notice related thereto is received by the Borrower. 

  
 36 

 (e)    Borrowing Base Reductions. 

(i)    If the sum of (A) the Recognized Value of the aggregate of Asset Dispositions occurring in any
period between Scheduled Redeterminations, plus (B) the Recognized Value of Swap Terminations occurring in the same period exceeds 5% of the then effective Borrowing Base, then the Borrowing Base shall be reduced in an amount determined
by the Administrative Agent in its discretion in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 2.07(a) taking into account both Recognized Value or attributed value of such Asset Dispositions and the Recognized Value
given to such Swap Agreements. Any redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Section 2.07(e) shall not be considered an Interim Redetermination requested by Administrative Agent within the meaning of
Section 2.07(b). 
 (ii)    The Borrowing Base may be reduced as provided in
Section 8.13(c). 
 (iii)    If the Borrower incurs any Permitted Senior Debt
in reliance on Section 9.02(j) after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, then the Borrowing Base then in effect shall be reduced immediately upon the date of such incurrence by an amount equal to the product of
(A) 0.25 multiplied by (B) the difference between (I) the proceeds resulting from such issuance, minus (II) the amount of such proceeds applied to repay any outstanding Permitted Senior Debt. The Borrowing Base as so reduced
shall become the new Borrowing Base immediately upon the date of such incurrence, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders on such date until the next redetermination or modification
thereof hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.07(e)(iii), if any such Debt is issued at a discount or otherwise sold for less than “par”, the reduction shall be calculated based upon the stated principal
amount without reference to such discount. 
 (f)    Borrowing Base Deficiency. 

(i)    If, at any time, a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then Administrative Agent shall give notice to
Borrower of such Borrowing Base Deficiency (such notice, a “Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice”), and Borrower shall within 15 days following receipt of such Borrowing Base Deficiency Notice elect whether to (A) prepay an
amount which would, if prepaid immediately, reduce the total Revolving Credit Exposures to the amount of the Borrowing Base, (B) mortgage such other Oil and Gas Properties as are acceptable to the Required Lenders, pursuant to security
documents acceptable to Administrative Agent having Recognized Values which, in the opinion of the Required Lenders, based upon the Required 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 Revolving Credit Exposures, or (C) do any combination of the foregoing as is acceptable to Administrative Agent such that the Borrowing Base is an amount at least equal to the
total Revolving Credit Exposure. If Borrower fails to make an election within 15 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 (A) above. 

  
 37 

 (ii)    Borrower shall deliver such prepayments or mortgages
of additional Oil and Gas Properties in accordance with its election (or deemed election) pursuant to clause (f)(i) above as follows: 

(A)    Prepayment Elections. If Borrower elects (or is deemed to have elected)
to prepay an amount in accordance with clause (f)(i)(A) above, then Borrower may make such prepayment in one installment within 45 days after Borrower’s notice of
its election (or date of deemed election) or, if no Event of Default exists, in six equal consecutive monthly installments beginning within 45 days after Borrower’s notice of its election (or date of deemed election) and continuing on the same
day of each month thereafter. 
 (B)    Elections to Mortgage Additional Oil and Gas
Properties. If Borrower elects to mortgage additional oil and gas properties in accordance with clause (f)(i)(B) above, then
(1) such property shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders with Recognized Values determined by Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders in accordance with this
Section 2.07 and (2) Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Administrative Agent security instruments acceptable to
Administrative Agent within 45 days after Borrower’s notice of its election (or such longer time as determined by Administrative Agent); provided, however (x) if none of
the additional Oil and Gas Properties offered by Borrower are acceptable to the Required Lenders, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected the prepayment option specified in
clause (f)(i)(A) (and Borrower shall make such prepayment in accordance with
clause (f)(ii)(A)); and (y) if the aggregate Recognized Values of additional Oil and Gas Properties which are acceptable to the
Required Lenders are insufficient to eliminate the Borrowing Base Deficiency, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected the option specified in clause (f)(i)(C)
(and Borrower shall make prepayment and deliver security instruments as provided clause (f)(ii)(C)). 

(C)    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 clause (f)(i)(C), then
within 45 days after Borrower’s notice of its election (or date of deemed election) (or such longer time as determined by Administrative Agent), Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Administrative Agent security instruments
reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent covering such additional Oil and Gas Properties and pay  

  
 38 

 
Administrative Agent the amount by which the Borrowing Base Deficiency exceeds the Recognized Values of such additional Oil and Gas Properties in one installment within 45 days after
Borrower’s notice of its election (or date of deemed election) or, if no Event of Default exists, in six equal consecutive monthly installments beginning within 45 days after notice of its election (or date of deemed election) and continuing on
the same day of each month thereafter. 
 Section 2.08.    Letters of Credit. 

(a)    General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the
issuance of dollar denominated Letters of Credit for its own account or for the account of any of its Subsidiaries, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the
Availability Period; provided that (i) the Borrower may not request the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of Letters of Credit hereunder if a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists at such time or would exist as a result thereof and
(ii) the minimum amount of any such Letter of Credit shall be $50,000. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other
agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 

(b)    Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the
issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or send by facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been
approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (not less than five (5) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice: 

(i)    requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended,
renewed or extended; 
 (ii)    specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which
shall be a Business Day); 
 (iii)    specifying the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire
(which shall comply with Section 2.08(c)); 
 (iv)    specifying the amount of
such Letter of Credit; 
 (v)    specifying the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such
other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit; and 

(vi)    specifying the amount of the then effective Borrowing Base and whether a Borrowing Base Deficiency
exists at such time, the current total Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to the requested Letter of Credit or the requested amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit) and the pro forma total Revolving Credit
Exposures (giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit or the requested amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit). 

  
 39 

 Each notice shall constitute a representation by the Borrower that after giving effect to the requested issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension, as applicable, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Commitment and (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Commitments (i.e. the lesser of the Aggregate Maximum Credit
Amounts and the then effective Borrowing Base). 
 If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the
Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. 

(c)    Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on
the earlier of (i) the date that is eighteen months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, eighteen months after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is
five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive
periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date) unless the Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days (or such longer period as may be specified in such Letter of
Credit) prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed. 

(d)    Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit
increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of
Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in
Section 2.08(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this
Section 2.08(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence
and continuance of a Default, the existence of a Borrowing Base Deficiency or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(e)    Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of
Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received
notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such
notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of
receipt; provided that if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrower shall, subject to the conditions to Borrowing set forth herein, be deemed to have requested, and the Borrower does hereby request under such
circumstances, that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing in an 

  
 40 

 
equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to
make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following
receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Loans made by
such Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders.
Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08(e), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that
Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.08(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.08(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse
such LC Disbursement. 
 (f)    Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse
LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.08(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and
irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that
does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit Agreement, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this
Section 2.08(f), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of
their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances
referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a
drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to
the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing
Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised all requisite care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without
limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept
and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance
with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 

  
 41 

 (g)    Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank
shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed in
writing or by facsimile or electronic transmission) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not
relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 

(h)    Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, until the
Borrower shall have reimbursed the Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement (either with its own funds or a Borrowing under Section 2.08(e)), the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the
date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.08(h) shall be
for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the
extent of such payment. 
 (i)    Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be
replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the
time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.05(b). From and after the effective date of any such
replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing
Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank
shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional
Letters of Credit. 
 (j)    Cash Collateral - Default. If (i) any Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing and the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.08(j), or (ii) the Borrower is required
to pay to the Administrative Agent the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(c), then the Borrower shall deposit, in an account with the Administrative Agent (the
“LC Collection Account”), in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to, in the case of an Event of Default, the LC Exposure, and in the case of a payment required by
Section 3.04(c), the amount of such excess as provided in Section 3.04(c), as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash
collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower or any Subsidiary
described in Section 10.01(h) or Section 10.01(i). The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the 

  
 42 

 
Issuing Bank and the Lenders, an exclusive first priority and continuing perfected security interest in and Lien on the LC Collection Account and all cash, checks, drafts, certificates and
instruments, if any, from time to time deposited or held in the LC Collection Account, all deposits or wire transfers made thereto, any and all investments purchased with funds deposited in such account, all interest, dividends, cash, instruments,
financial assets and other Property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise payable in respect of, or in exchange for, any or all of the foregoing, and all proceeds, products, accessions, rents, profits, income and benefits therefrom,
and any substitutions and replacements therefor. The Borrower’s obligation to deposit amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08(j) shall be absolute and unconditional, without regard to whether any beneficiary of any such
Letter of Credit has attempted to draw down all or a portion of such amount under the terms of a Letter of Credit, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be subject to any defense or be affected by a right of set-off, counterclaim or recoupment which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may now or hereafter have against any such beneficiary, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person
for any reason whatsoever. Such deposit shall be held as collateral securing the payment and performance of the Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall
have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the LC Collection Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of
the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the LC Collection Account. Moneys in the LC Collection Account shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for
the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If the Borrower is required to provide
an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, and the Borrower is not otherwise required to Cash Collateralize the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to
Section 3.04(c), then such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within 3 Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 

(k)    Cash Collateral – Defaulting Lender. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting
Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to
such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.10(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. 

(i)    Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting
Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s
obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Exposure, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the
Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). 

  
 43 

 (ii)    Application. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.08(k) or Section 2.10 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting
Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Exposure (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other
application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. 
 (iii)    Termination of
Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.08(k)
following (A) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including, without limitation, by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender or reduction of the Fronting Exposure), or (B) the determination by
the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.10, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral
shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such cash collateral shall remain subject to the security
interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents. 
 (iv)    Any payment of Cash Collateral by the
Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against the applicable Defaulting Lender. 

Section 2.09.    Collateral. 

(a)    Mortgaged Property. The payment and performance of the Notes and all of the other Obligations
hereunder and under the Loan Documents and under the Secured Swap Agreements and under Secured Treasury Management Agreements shall be secured by a first and superior Lien (subject to Excepted Liens) against the interest of the Borrower and each
Subsidiary in a portion of their Oil and Gas Properties, the Recognized Value of which represents at least 90% of the Recognized Value of all of their proved Oil and Gas Properties, pursuant to the terms of one or more Mortgages in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, which Mortgages shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent. 

(b)    Guarantees and Pledges of Equity Interests. The payment and performance of the Notes and all
of the other Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents, and under the Secured Swap Agreements and Secured Treasury Management Agreements, (A) shall be unconditionally guaranteed by each Subsidiary pursuant to one or more Guaranty
Agreements, and (B) shall be secured by a first priority Lien (subject to Excepted Liens) against the Equity Interests of each Subsidiary pursuant to a Pledge Agreement. Reference is made to Section 8.14 of this
Agreement for further provisions with respect to additional Guarantors and additional collateral. 

(c)    Personal Property of Borrowers and Subsidiaries. The payment and performance of the Notes and
all of the other Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents and under Secured Swap Agreements and under Secured Treasury Management Agreements shall also be 

  
 44 

 
secured by a first priority Lien (subject to Excepted Liens) against all personal property of the Borrowers and each Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of one or more Security Agreements in favor
of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. 

Section 2.10.    Defaulting Lenders. 

(a)    Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: 

(i)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any
amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 12.02. 

(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 12.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent
hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting
Lender in accordance with Section 2.08(k); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its
portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy
such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to
future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.08(k); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default exists, to
the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under
this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in
respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 were
satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans
of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Exposure are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to
Section 2.10(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or 

  
 45 

 
payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(ii)
shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(iii)    Certain Fees. 

(A)     No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee under
Section 3.05(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that
Defaulting Lender).  
 (B)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees
under Section 3.05(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of
Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.08(k).  

(C)    With respect to any fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause
(A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such
Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Exposure that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause
(iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and
(z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 

(iv)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such
Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the
Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Maximum Credit Amount. Subject to Section 12.20, no reallocation hereunder shall
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a
result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 

  
 46 

 (v)    Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described
in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.08(k). 

(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank agree in
writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include
arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be
necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.10(a)(iv)), whereupon such
Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided,
further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s
having been a Defaulting Lender. 
 (c)    New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto. 

ARTICLE III 
 Payments of
Principal and Interest; Prepayments; Fees 
 Section 3.01.    Repayment of Loans. The Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Termination Date. 

Section 3.02.    Interest. 

(a)    ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base
Rate plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 

(b)    Eurodollar Loans. The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 

(c)    Post-Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, or if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon
acceleration or otherwise, and including any payments in respect of a Borrowing Base Deficiency under Section 3.04(c), then all Loans outstanding, in the case of an Event of Default, and such overdue amount, in the case of
a failure to pay amounts when due, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in Section 3.02(a), but in no event
to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, and (ii) during any Borrowing Base Deficiency (after the expiration of the cure periods provided in Section 2.07(f)), all Loans 

  
 47 

 
outstanding at such time shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at the rate then applicable to such Loans, plus the Applicable Margin, if any, plus an additional two percent (2%),
but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 
 (d)    Interest Payment Dates. Accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on the Termination Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.02(c) shall be payable on
demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than an optional prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of
such repayment or prepayment, and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

 (e)    Interest Rate Computations. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate
Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and be binding upon the
parties hereto. 
 (f)    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. 

Section 3.03.    Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a
Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (a)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or 

(b)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO
Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, facsimile or electronic transmission as promptly as
practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing
to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective (and shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing), and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as
an ABR Borrowing. 

  
 48 

 Section 3.04.    Prepayments. 

(a)    Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to
prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 3.04(b). 

(b)    Notice and Terms of Optional Prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent
by telephone (confirmed in writing) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an
ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid.
Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of
an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued
interest to the extent required by Section 3.02 and any break funding payments required by Section 5.02. 

(c)    Mandatory Prepayments. 

(i)    If, after giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts
pursuant to Section 2.06(b), the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the total Commitments, then the Borrower shall (A) prepay the Borrowings on the date of such termination or reduction in an aggregate principal
amount equal to such excess, and (B) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as Cash
Collateral as provided in Section 2.08(j). 
 (ii)    If, other than upon any
adjustment to the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.07(e), a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then the Borrower shall take such actions as required by Section 2.07(f) to cure such Borrowing
Base Deficiency, including making any prepayment required by such section. 
 (iii)    If, upon any
adjustments to the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.07(e), a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then the Borrower shall (A) prepay the Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Borrowing Base
Deficiency, and (B) if any Borrowing Base Deficiency remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders an amount equal to such Borrowing Base Deficiency to be
held as Cash Collateral as provided in Section 2.08(j). The Borrower shall be obligated to make such prepayment and/or deposit of Cash Collateral on the date it or any Subsidiary receives cash proceeds as a result of such
Asset Disposition or Swap Termination, as the case may be; provided that all payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.04(c)(iii) must be made on or prior to the Termination Date. 

(iv)    If, at any time, (A) there are outstanding Borrowings or LC Exposure and (B) the
Consolidated Cash Balance exceeds $10,000,000 as of the end of any four consecutive Business Days (such four Business Day period, the “Consolidated Cash  

  
 49 

 
Balance Excess Period”), then the Borrower shall, on or before the end of such Consolidated Cash Balance Excess Period, (x) prepay the Borrowings in an aggregate principal
amount equal to such excess as of the end of the Consolidated Cash Balance Excess Period, and (y) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of any LC Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as cash collateral as provided in Section 2.08(j), in each case. 

(v)    Each prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall be
applied, first, ratably to any ABR Borrowings then outstanding, and, second, to any Eurodollar Borrowings then outstanding, and if more than one Eurodollar Borrowing is then outstanding, to each such Eurodollar Borrowing in order of priority
beginning with the Eurodollar Borrowing with the least number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto and ending with the Eurodollar Borrowing with the most number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

(vi)    Each prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall be
applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowings. Prepayments pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02. 

(d)    No Premium or Penalty. Prepayments permitted or required under this
Section 3.04 shall be without premium or penalty, except as required under Section 5.02. 

(e)    No Effect on Swap Agreements. Prepayments permitted or required under this
Section 3.04 shall not affect the Borrower’s obligation to continue making payments under any Swap Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such prepayment, subject to the terms of such
Swap Agreement. 
 Section 3.05.    Fees. 

(a)    Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the
Termination Date. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment
fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case such commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall
be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

(b)    Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Margin on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC
Exposure, (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any 

  
 50 

 
portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and
the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, provided that in no event shall such fee be less than $500 during any quarter, and (iii) to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, its standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third
Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the Termination Date and any such fees accruing after the Termination Date shall be
payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.05(b) shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case such fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (c)    Administrative Agent Fees. The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

ARTICLE IV 
 Payments; Pro
Rata Treatment; Sharing of Payments 
 Section 4.01.    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of
Payments. 
 (a)    Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to
be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 or
otherwise) prior to 11:00 a.m., on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without defense, deduction, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Fees, once paid, shall be fully earned and shall not be
refundable under any circumstances. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest
thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices specified in Section 12.01, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments
pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative
Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for
payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. 

(b)    Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 

  
 51 

 (c)    Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender
shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or other obligations
hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as
provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and such
other 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 participations in LC Disbursements and other amounts owing them; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,
such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) or any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or Participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of
this Section 4.01(c) shall apply). The Borrower, each Subsidiary, each Guarantor and each other 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 the Borrower, each Subsidiary, each Guarantor and each other Loan Party rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower, each Subsidiary, each Guarantor and each other Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 

Section 4.02.    Presumption of Payment by the Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made
such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day
from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 Section 4.03.    Disposition of Proceeds. The Security
Instruments contain an assignment by the Borrower and/or the Guarantors unto and in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of all of the Borrower’s or each Guarantor’s interest in and to production and all
proceeds attributable thereto which may be produced from or allocated to the Mortgaged Property. The Security Instruments further provide in general for the application of such proceeds to the satisfaction of the Obligations and other obligations
described therein and secured thereby. Notwithstanding the assignment contained in such Security Instruments, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (a) the 

  
 52 

 
Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will neither notify the purchaser or purchasers of such production nor take any other action to cause such proceeds to be remitted to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders, but the Lenders will instead permit such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (b) the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to
cause such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and/or such Subsidiaries. 
 ARTICLE V 

Increased Costs; Break Funding Payments; Taxes; Illegality 

Section 5.01.    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 such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; 

(ii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described
in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, Loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital
attributable thereto; or 
 (iii)    impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank
market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or 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 or such other Recipient of making, converting to,
continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or 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, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other
amount), then, upon request of such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the
Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b)    Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law
affecting such Lender or the Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment 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 Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time
to time the 

  
 53 

 
Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing
Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c)    Certificates for
Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
Section 5.01(a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d)    Delay in
Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to
demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than
nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to
claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 Section 5.02.    Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.04(b), or (e) the replacement of a Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with the
terms of Section 5.04(b), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any
Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate
that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been
the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar
deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. 
 A certificate of any Lender setting forth any
amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown
as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 Section 5.03.    Taxes. 

(a)    Issuing Bank. For purposes of this Section 5.03, the term
“Lender” includes the Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 

  
 54 

 (b)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by
or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an
applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full
amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such
deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or
withholding been made. 
 (c)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall
timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(d)    Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each
Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to
be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability shall be delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (e)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall
severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for
such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04(d) relating to the
maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the
Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the
Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). 

(f)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to
a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.03, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment,
a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 55 

 (g)    Status of Lenders. 

(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (or as prescribed by law) as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such
Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set
forth in Section 5.03(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed
cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(i)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

 (A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;  

(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(I)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable
payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

  
 56 

 (II)    executed copies of IRS 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 substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not
a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E
or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable; or 
 (IV)    to the
extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable,, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2
or Exhibit J-4, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership
and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-3 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal
withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the  

  
 57 

 
Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by
applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause
(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 Each Lender
agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its
legal inability to do so. 
 (h)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its
sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 5.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of
all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by
the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified
party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the
indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had
never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(i)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.03
shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any
Loan Document. 
 Section 5.04.    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a)    Designation of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 5.01 or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to

  
 58 

 
Section 5.03, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans
hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b)    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 5.01 or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03,
and in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 5.04(a) or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a
Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.04(b)), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to
Section 5.01 or Section 5.03) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender,
if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that 
 (i)    the Borrower shall have received the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 12.04, 

(ii)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its
Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.02), from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), 

(iii)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 5.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter, 

(iv)    such assignment does not conflict with the applicable law, and 

(v)    in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a
Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. 

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

Section 5.05.    Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it
becomes unlawful for any Lender or its applicable lending office to honor its obligation to make or 

  
 59 

 
maintain Eurodollar Loans either generally or having a particular Interest Period hereunder, then (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof and
such Lender’s obligation to make such Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (the “Affected Loans”) until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain such Eurodollar Loans and (b) all Affected Loans which
would otherwise be made by such Lender shall be made instead as ABR Loans (and, if such Lender so requests by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, all Affected Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted
into ABR Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Affected Loans are so made as (or converted into) ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Affected Loans
shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans. 
 ARTICLE VI 

Conditions Precedent 

Section 6.01.    Effective Date. The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Bank to issue
Letters of Credit hereunder shall not become effective until each of the following conditions is satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 12.02) on the Effective Date: 

(a)    The Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders shall have received all commitment, facility
and agency fees and all other fees and amounts due and payable on or prior to the Effective Date, including, to the extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all

PC, counsel for the Administrative Agent, to be held by such counsel and applied toward payment of costs and expenses for recordation of the Mortgages, as provided pursuant to Section 12.03(a). If such deposit exceeds the
amount of such costs and expenses, the excess shall be returned to the Borrower. If such deposit is less than such costs and expenses, the deficit shall be paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 12.03(a). 

(c)    The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary,
Responsible Officer or other duly authorized officer reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of the Borrower and each Guarantor, each setting forth (i) resolutions of its board of directors or board of managers (or equivalent body)

of Credit, as applicable, except to the extent any such representations and warranties are expressly limited to an earlier date, in which case, on and as of the date of such Borrowing or the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such

ARTICLE VII 

Representations and Warranties 

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders that: 

Section 7.01.    Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority, and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary, to own its assets and to carry
on its business as now conducted, and is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where failure to have such power, authority, licenses, authorizations, consents,
approvals and qualifications could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 7.02.    Authority; Enforceability. The Transactions are within the Borrower’s and each
Guarantor’s powers under its Organizational Documents and have been duly authorized by all necessary action (including, without limitation, any action required to be taken by any class of managers, directors, partners or owners of Equity
Interests of the Borrower or any other Person, whether interested or disinterested, in order to ensure the due authorization of the Transactions). Each Loan Document to which the Borrower and each Guarantor is a party has been duly executed and
delivered by the Borrower and such Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and such Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to Debtor Relief Laws or other laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

Section 7.03.    Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of,
registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority or any other third Person (including members, shareholders, partners or any class of managers, directors, or partners, whether interested or disinterested, of the
Borrower or any other Person), nor is any such consent, approval, registration, filing or other action necessary for the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, except such as
have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect other than (i) the recording and filing of the Security Instruments as required by this Agreement, (ii) those third party approvals or consents which, if not made or obtained,
would not cause a Default hereunder, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or do not have an adverse effect on the enforceability of the Loan Documents, and (iii) consents by, required notices to, or other actions
by state and federal governmental entities in connection with the assignment of state and federal oil and gas leases or other interests therein that are customarily obtained subsequent to such assignments, (b) will not violate any applicable
law or Organizational Documents of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or its Properties, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or such Subsidiary and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Property of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary (other than the Liens created by the Loan Documents and, at any time prior to the Second Lien Discharge Date, the Liens created under the Second Lien Documents to the extent permitted hereunder and under the Second Lien Intercreditor
Agreement). 

  
 64 

 Section 7.04.    Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change.

 (a)    The financial statements of Borrower heretofore furnished to the Lenders present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to
year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the unaudited quarterly financial statements. 

(b)    Since December 31, 2016, (i) there has been no event, development or circumstance that has
had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has been conducted only in the ordinary course consistent with past business practices in all material respects.

 (c)    Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has on the date hereof any material Debt (including
Disqualified Capital Stock) or any contingent liabilities, off-balance sheet liabilities or partnerships, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses
from any unfavorable commitments, except as referred to or reflected or provided for in the Financial Statements. 

Section 7.05.    Litigation. 

(a)    Except as set forth on Schedule 7.05, there are no actions, suits, investigations or
proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary (i) not fully covered by insurance (except for normal
deductibles) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) that involve
any Loan Document or the Transactions. 
 (b)    Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no
change in the status of the matters disclosed in Schedule 7.05 that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 7.06.    Environmental Matters. Except as set forth in Schedule 7.06 or that could not be
reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (or with respect to (c), (d) and (e) below, where the failure to take such actions could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect): 

(a)    neither any Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary nor the operations conducted thereon violate
any order or requirement of any court or Governmental Authority or any Environmental Laws. 
 (b)    no
Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary nor the operations currently conducted thereon are in violation of or subject to any existing, pending or threatened action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding by or before any court or Governmental
Authority or to any remedial obligations under Environmental Laws. 

  
 65 

 (c)    all notices, permits, licenses, exemptions, approvals
or similar authorizations, if any, required to be obtained or filed in connection with the operation or use of any and all Property of the Borrower and each Subsidiary, including, without limitation, past or present treatment, storage, disposal or
release of a hazardous substance, oil and gas waste or solid waste into the environment, have been duly obtained or filed, and the Borrower and each Subsidiary have not received written notice stating that they are not in compliance with the terms
and conditions of all such notices, permits, licenses and similar authorizations. 
 (d)    to
Borrower’s knowledge, all hazardous substances, solid waste and oil and gas waste, if any, generated at any and all Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary have in the past been transported, treated and disposed of in accordance with
Environmental Laws. 
 (e)    the Borrower has taken all steps reasonably necessary to determine and has
determined that no oil, hazardous substances, solid waste or oil and gas waste, have been disposed of or otherwise released and there has been no threatened release of any oil, hazardous substances, solid waste or oil and gas waste on or to any
Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary except in compliance with Environmental Laws. 
 (f)    to the
extent applicable, all Property of the Borrower and each Subsidiary currently satisfies all design, operation, and equipment requirements imposed by the OPA, and the Borrower does not have any reason to believe that such Property, to the extent
subject to the OPA, will not be able to maintain compliance with the OPA requirements during the term of this Agreement. 

(g)    neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has any known contingent liability or Remedial Work in
connection with any release or threatened release of any oil, hazardous substance, solid waste or oil and gas waste into the environment, except as referred to or reflected or provided for in the Financial Statements. 

Section 7.07.    Compliance with Laws and Agreements; No Defaults. 

(a)    Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary is in compliance with all Governmental Requirements
applicable to it or its Property and all agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its Property, and possesses all licenses, permits, franchises, exemptions, approvals and other governmental authorizations necessary for the ownership of
its Property and the conduct of its business, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(b)    Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default nor has any event or circumstance occurred
which, but for the expiration of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default or would require the Borrower or a Subsidiary to Redeem or make any offer to Redeem under any indenture, note, credit agreement
or instrument pursuant to which any Material Indebtedness is outstanding or by which the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their Properties is bound. 

(c)    No Default has occurred and is continuing. 

Section 7.08.    Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment
company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

  
 66 

 Section 7.09.    Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of Taxes and other governmental charges are, in the reasonable opinion of Borrower, adequate. No Tax Lien has been filed and, to
the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted with respect to any such Tax or other such governmental charge. 

Section 7.10.    ERISA. 

(a)    The Borrower, the Subsidiaries and each ERISA Affiliate have complied in all material respects with
ERISA and, where applicable, the Code regarding each Plan. 
 (b)    Each Plan is, and has been,
maintained in substantial compliance with ERISA and, where applicable, the Code. 
 (c)    No act,
omission or transaction has occurred which could result in imposition on the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate (whether directly or indirectly) of (i) either a civil penalty assessed pursuant to subsections (c), (i) or (l) of
Section 502 of ERISA or a tax imposed pursuant to Chapter 43 of Subtitle D of the Code or (ii) breach of fiduciary duty liability damages under Section 409 of ERISA. 

(d)    No Plan (other than a defined contribution plan) or any trust created under any such Plan has been
terminated since September 2, 1974. No liability to the PBGC (other than for the payment of current premiums which are not past due) by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has been or is expected by the Borrower, any Subsidiary
or any ERISA Affiliate to be incurred with respect to any Plan. No ERISA Event with respect to any Plan has occurred. 

(e)    Full payment when due has been made of all amounts which the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or any ERISA
Affiliate is required under the terms of each Plan or applicable law to have paid as contributions to such Plan as of the date hereof, and no accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code),
whether or not waived, exists with respect to any Plan. 
 (f)    The actuarial present value of the
benefit liabilities under each Plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA does not, as of the end of the Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year, exceed the current value of the assets (computed on a plan termination basis in accordance with
Title IV of ERISA) of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities. The term “actuarial present value of the benefit liabilities” shall have the meaning specified in Section 4041 of ERISA. 

(g)    Neither the Borrower, the Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate sponsors, maintains, or contributes
to an employee welfare benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA, including, without limitation, any such plan maintained to provide benefits to former employees of such entities, that may not be terminated by the Borrower, a Subsidiary
or any ERISA Affiliate in its sole discretion at any time without any material liability. 

  
 67 

 (h)    Neither the Borrower, the Subsidiaries nor any ERISA
Affiliate sponsors, maintains or contributes to, or has at any time in the six-year period preceding the date hereof sponsored, maintained or contributed to, any Multiemployer Plan. 

(i)    Neither the Borrower, the Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate is required to provide security under
Section 401(a)(29) of the Code due to a Plan amendment that results in a material increase in current liability for the Plan. 

Section 7.11.    Disclosure; No Material Misstatements. The Borrower has disclosed or delivered to the
Administrative Agent and the 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. None of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their
Affiliates in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (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, the Borrower
represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. There is no fact known to the Borrower or any Subsidiary which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect or in the future is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and which has not been set forth in this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary prior to, or on, the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than industry wide risks normally associated with the types of businesses conducted by Borrower
and its Subsidiaries). There are no statements or conclusions in any Reserve Report which are based upon or include misleading information or fail to take into account material information regarding the matters reported therein, it being understood
that projections concerning volumes attributable to the Oil and Gas Properties and production and cost estimates contained in each Reserve Report are necessarily based upon professional opinions, estimates and projections and that the Borrower and
the Subsidiaries do not warrant that such opinions, estimates and projections will ultimately prove to have been accurate. 

Section 7.12.    Insurance. The Borrower has, and has caused all of its Subsidiaries to have, (a) all
insurance policies sufficient for the compliance by each of them with all material Governmental Requirements and all material agreements and (b) insurance coverage in at least amounts and against such risk (including, without limitation, public
liability) that are commercially reasonable and usually insured against by companies similarly situated and engaged in the same or a similar business for the assets and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent has
been named as an additional insured in respect of such liability insurance policies, and the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such has been named as loss payee with respect to Property loss insurance. 

Section 7.13.    Restriction on Liens. Neither the Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries is a party to any
material agreement or arrangement (other than the Permitted Senior Debt Documents, Capital Leases creating Liens permitted by Section 9.03(c), but then only on the Property subject of such Capital Lease, and, at any time
prior to the Second Lien Discharge Date, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and Second Lien Documents), or subject to any order, judgment, writ or decree, which either restricts or purports to restrict its ability to grant Liens to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders on or in respect of their Properties to secure the Obligations and the Loan Documents. 

  
 68 

 Section 7.14.    Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on Schedule
7.14 or as disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly furnish a copy to the Lenders), which shall be a supplement to Schedule 7.14, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries and the Borrower has no Foreign Subsidiaries.
Each Subsidiary on such schedule is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary and is a Consolidated Subsidiary. 

Section 7.15.    Location of Business and Offices. The Borrower’s jurisdiction of organization is
Delaware; the name of the Borrower as listed in the public records of its jurisdiction of organization is Lonestar Resources America Inc.; and the organizational identification number of the Borrower in its jurisdiction of organization is 5282689
(or, in each case, as set forth in a notice delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.01(n) in accordance with Section 12.01). The Borrower’s principal place of business and
chief executive offices are located at the address specified in Section 12.01 (or as set forth in a notice delivered pursuant to Section 8.01(n) and Section 12.01(c)).
Each Subsidiary’s jurisdiction of organization, name as listed in the public records of its jurisdiction of organization, organizational identification number in its jurisdiction of organization, and the location of its principal place of
business and chief executive office is stated on Schedule 7.14 (or as set forth in a notice delivered pursuant to Section 8.01(n)). 

Section 7.16.    Properties; Titles, Etc. 

(a)    Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has good and defensible title to its respective Oil and
Gas Properties evaluated in the most recently delivered Reserve Report and good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, licenses of, or rights to use, all its personal Properties, in each case, free and clear of all Liens except Liens permitted
by Section 9.03. After giving full effect to the Excepted Liens, the Borrower or the Subsidiary specified as the owner owns the net interests in production attributable to the Hydrocarbon Interests as reflected in the most
recently delivered Reserve Report, and the ownership of such Properties shall not in any material respect obligate the Borrower or such Subsidiary to bear the costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operations of each such
Property in an amount in excess of the working interest of each Property set forth in the most recently delivered Reserve Report that is not offset by a corresponding proportionate increase in the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s net
revenue interest in such Property. The ownership by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Hydrocarbons and the undivided interests therein specified on the exhibits to the Mortgages are the same interests reflected in the most recently delivered
Reserve Report. 
 (b)    All material leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of
the Borrower and the Subsidiaries are valid and subsisting, in full force and effect, and there exists no default or event or circumstance which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would give rise to a default under any such
lease or leases, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c)    The
rights and Properties presently owned, leased or licensed by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries including, without limitation, all easements and rights of way, include all rights and Properties necessary to permit the Borrower and the Subsidiaries to
conduct their business in all material respects in the same manner as its business has been conducted prior to the date hereof. 

(d)    All of the Properties of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries which are reasonably necessary for the
operation of their businesses are in good working condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and are maintained in accordance with prudent business standards. 

  
 69 

 (e)    Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary owns, or is
licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual Property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and such Subsidiary does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any
such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries either own or have valid licenses or other rights to use all databases, geological
data, geophysical data, engineering data, seismic data, maps, interpretations and other technical information used in their businesses as presently conducted, subject to the limitations contained in the agreements governing the use of the same,
which limitations are customary for companies engaged in the business of the exploration and production of Hydrocarbons, with such exceptions as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 7.17.    Maintenance of Properties. Except for such acts or failures to act as could not be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and subject to the prior rights and limitations of Borrower as an owner of any non-operated working interests, the Oil and Gas Properties (and Properties unitized
therewith) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have been maintained, operated and developed in a good and workmanlike manner and in conformity with all Governmental Requirements and in conformity with the provisions of all leases, subleases or
other contracts comprising a part of the Hydrocarbon Interests and other contracts and agreements forming a part of the Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Specifically in connection with the foregoing, except for those as
could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) no Oil and Gas Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is subject to having allowable production reduced below the full and regular allowable (including the maximum
permissible tolerance) because of any overproduction (whether or not the same was permissible at the time) and (ii) none of the wells comprising a part of the Oil and Gas Properties (or Properties unitized therewith) of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary is deviated from the vertical more than the maximum permitted by Governmental Requirements (except with respect to horizontal wells permitted by Governmental Authority), and such wells are, in fact, bottomed under and are producing from,
and the well bores are wholly within, the Oil and Gas Properties (or in the case of wells located on Properties unitized therewith, such unitized Properties) of the Borrower or such Subsidiary. All pipelines, wells, gas processing plants, platforms
and other material improvements, fixtures and equipment owned in whole or in part by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that are necessary to conduct normal operations are being maintained in a state adequate to conduct normal operations, and
with respect to such of the foregoing which are operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, in a manner consistent with the Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ past practices (other than those the failure of which to maintain in
accordance with this Section 7.17 could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). 

Section 7.18.    Material Gas Imbalances, Prepayments. Except as set forth on
Schedule 7.18 or on the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.12(c), on a net basis there are no Material Gas Imbalances, take or pay or other prepayments which would require the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to deliver Hydrocarbons produced from the Oil and Gas Properties at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor. 

Section 7.19.    Marketing of Production. Except for contracts listed and in effect on the date hereof on

it will incur, Debt beyond its ability to pay such Debt (after taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by each of the Borrower and the Guarantors and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of its liabilities, and giving
effect to amounts that could reasonably be received by reason of indemnity, offset, insurance or any similar arrangement) as such Debt becomes absolute and matures and (c) each of the Borrower and the Guarantors will not have (and will have no

when the Mortgages are filed in the offices of the Counties in which the Oil and Gas Properties are located, the Mortgages shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Borrower and each

continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property or other Property covered by the Lien of the Security Instruments without the signature of the Borrower or any other Guarantor where permitted by
law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of the Security Instruments or any financing statement covering the Mortgaged Property or such other Property or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.

 Section 8.12.    Reserve Reports. 

(a)    On or before April 1st and October 1st of each year, commencing October 1, 2017, the
Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Reserve Report evaluating the Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the immediately preceding January 1st and July 1st, respectively. The Reserve
Report as of January 1 of each year shall be prepared by one or more Approved Petroleum Engineers, and the July 1 Reserve Report of each year shall be prepared by or under the supervision of the chief engineer of the Borrower who shall
certify such Reserve Report to be true and accurate and to have been prepared in accordance with the procedures used in the immediately preceding Reserve Report prepared by an Approved Petroleum Engineer. 

(b)    In the event of an Interim Redetermination, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders a Reserve Report prepared by or under the supervision of the chief engineer of the Borrower who shall certify such Reserve Report to be true and accurate and to have been prepared in accordance with the procedures used in the
immediately preceding Reserve Report prepared by an Approved Petroleum Engineer. For any Interim Redetermination requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07(b), the Borrower shall provide
such Reserve Report with an “as of” date as required by the Administrative Agent as soon as possible, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days following the receipt of such request. 

(c)    With the delivery of each Reserve Report, the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders a certificate from a Responsible Officer certifying that: (i) the information contained in the Reserve Report and any other information delivered in connection therewith is true and correct in all material respects, it being
understood that each Reserve Report is necessarily based upon professional opinions, estimates and projections, and the Borrower does not warrant that the same will prove to be accurate, (ii) the Borrower or its

  
 80 

 
Subsidiaries own good and defensible title to the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in such Reserve Report and such Properties are free of all Liens except for Liens permitted by
Section 9.03, (iii) except as set forth on an exhibit to the certificate, on a net basis there are no Material Gas Imbalances, take or pay or other prepayments in excess of the volume specified in
Section 7.18 with respect to its Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in such Reserve Report which would require the Borrower or any Subsidiary to deliver Hydrocarbons either generally or produced from such Oil and Gas
Properties at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor, (iv) none of their Oil and Gas Properties have been sold since the date of the last Borrowing Base determination except Hydrocarbons sold in the ordinary
course and other Oil and Gas Properties as set forth on an exhibit to the certificate, which certificate shall list all of its Oil and Gas Properties (other than Hydrocarbons sold in the ordinary course of business) sold and in such detail as
reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, (v) attached to the certificate is a list of all marketing agreements entered into subsequent to the later of the date hereof or the most recently delivered Reserve Report which the Borrower
could reasonably be expected to have been obligated to list on Schedule 7.19 had such agreement been in effect on the date hereof, (vi) attached to the certificate is a list of the names and addresses of the purchasers which accounted
for at least 75% of the total natural gas and oil revenues of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries during the 12-month period ended as of the immediately preceding December 31 or June 30, as applicable
and (vii) attached thereto is a schedule of the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report that are Mortgaged Properties and demonstrating the percentage of the total value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties that the value of
such Mortgaged Properties represent in compliance with Section 8.14(a). 

(d)    With the delivery of each Reserve Report, the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders an engineering update based upon then-current SEC pricing (an “SEC Report”). Borrower may (but is not obligated to) provide additional SEC Reports to Administrative Agent and the Lenders not more than one time
during each fiscal quarter. 
 Section 8.13.    Title Information. 

(a)    On or before the delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of each Reserve Report
required by Section 8.12(a) and at such other times as Agent shall reasonably request, the Borrower will deliver title information in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent covering enough of the Oil and
Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report that were not included in the immediately preceding Reserve Report, so that the Administrative Agent shall have received together with title information previously delivered to the Administrative
Agent, satisfactory title information on at least 80% of the Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report.1 

(b)    If the Borrower has provided title information for additional Properties under
Section 8.13(a), the Borrower shall, within 60 days of notice from the Administrative Agent that title defects or exceptions exist with respect to such additional Properties, either (i) cure any such title defects or
exceptions (including defects or exceptions as to priority) which are not permitted by Section 9.03 raised by such information, (ii) substitute acceptable Mortgaged Properties with no title defects or exceptions except
for Excepted Liens (other than Excepted Liens described in clauses (e), (g) and (h) of such definition) having an equivalent value or (iii) deliver title information in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent so that the

  

	1 	 NTD: if Title Requirement is not satisfied prior to amendment effective date, 30 day post-closing period to be
added. 

  
 81 

 
Administrative Agent shall have received, together with title information previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, satisfactory title information on at least 80% of the Recognized Value
of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report. 
 (c)    If the Borrower is
unable to cure any title defect requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to be cured within the 60-day period or the Borrower does not comply with the requirements to provide acceptable title
information covering 80% of the Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the most recent Reserve Report, such default shall not be a Default, but instead the Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise the
following remedy in its sole discretion from time to time, and any failure to so exercise this remedy at any time shall not be a waiver as to future exercise of the remedy by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. To the extent that the
Administrative Agent is not satisfied with title to any Mortgaged Property after the 60-day period has elapsed, such unacceptable Mortgaged Property shall not count towards the 80% requirement, and the
Administrative Agent may send a notice to the Borrower and the Lenders that the then outstanding Borrowing Base shall be reduced by an amount as determined by the Administrative Agent to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the requirement to
provide acceptable title information on 80% of the Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties. This new Borrowing Base shall become effective immediately after receipt of such notice. 

Section 8.14.    Additional Collateral; Additional Guarantors. 

(a)    In connection with each redetermination of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall review the Reserve
Report and the list of current Mortgaged Properties (as described in Section 8.12(c)(vii)) to ascertain whether the Mortgaged Properties represent at least 90% of the Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties
evaluated in the most recently completed Reserve Report after giving effect to exploration and production activities, acquisitions, dispositions and production. In the event that the Mortgaged Properties do not represent at least 90% of such
Recognized Value, then the Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, grant, within thirty (30) days of delivery of the certificate required under Section 8.12(c), to the Administrative Agent as security for
the Obligations a first-priority Lien interest (provided that Excepted Liens of the type described in clauses (a) to (d) and (f) of the definition thereof may exist, but subject to the provisos at the end of such definition) on
additional Oil and Gas Properties not already subject to a Lien of the Security Instruments such that after giving effect thereto, the Mortgaged Properties will represent at least 90% of such total value. All such Liens will be created and perfected
by and in accordance with the provisions of Mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements and financing statements or other Security Instruments, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and in sufficient
executed (and acknowledged where necessary or appropriate) counterparts for recording purposes. In order to comply with the foregoing, if any Subsidiary grants a Lien on its Oil and Gas Properties to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit
of the Secured Parties and such Subsidiary is not a Guarantor, then it shall become a Guarantor and comply with Section 8.14(b). 

(b)    The Borrower shall promptly cause each Subsidiary (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the
Excluded Subsidiary) to guarantee the Obligations pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement. In connection with any such guaranty, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Subsidiary to, promptly, (i) pledge all of the Equity Interests of such new
Subsidiary pursuant to a Pledge Agreement (including, without limitation, delivery of original stock certificates, if any, evidencing the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary, together with an appropriate undated stock powers for each certificate
duly executed in blank by the registered owner thereof) and (ii) execute and deliver such other additional closing documents, certificates and legal opinions as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent. 

  
 82 

 (c)    If the Borrower elects to provide additional Mortgaged
Properties in lieu of making any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(c), then the Borrower shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Excluded Subsidiary) to, grant to the
Administrative Agent as security for the Obligations a first-priority Lien interest (subject only to Excepted Liens) on additional Oil and Gas Properties not already subject to a Lien of the Security Instruments. All such Liens will be created and
perfected by and in accordance with the provisions of Mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements and financing statements or other Security Instruments, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and in
sufficient executed (and acknowledged where necessary or appropriate) counterparts for recording purposes. In order to comply with the foregoing, if any Subsidiary places such a Lien on its Oil and Gas Properties and such Subsidiary is not a
Guarantor, then it shall become a Guarantor and comply with Section 8.14(b). 

(d)    In the event that (i) the Required Lenders waive the provisions of
Section 9.15 to permit the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary to become the owner of a Foreign Subsidiary (such waiver to be granted in the sole discretion of the Required Lenders), and (ii) such Foreign Subsidiary
has total assets in excess of $1,000,000, then the Borrower shall promptly, or shall cause such Domestic Subsidiary to promptly, guarantee the Obligations pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement. In connection with any such guaranty, the Borrower shall,
or shall cause such Domestic Subsidiary to, (i) execute and deliver a supplement to the Guaranty Agreement, (ii) pledge 65% of all the Equity Interests of such Foreign Subsidiary (including, without limitation, delivery of original stock
certificates evidencing such Equity Interests of such Foreign Subsidiary, together with appropriate stock powers for each certificate duly executed in blank by the registered owner thereof) and (iii) execute and deliver such other additional
closing documents, certificates and legal opinions as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent. 

(e)    The Borrower agrees that it will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, grant a Lien on any
Property to secure the Second Lien Notes without first (i) giving prior written notice as set forth in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement to the Administrative Agent thereof and (ii) granting to the Administrative Agent to secure the
Obligations a first-priority, perfected Lien on the same Property pursuant to Security Instruments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In connection therewith, the Borrower shall, or shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, execute and deliver such other additional closing documents, certificates and legal opinions as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent. 

Section 8.15.    ERISA Compliance. The Borrower will promptly furnish and will cause the Subsidiaries and any
ERISA Affiliate to promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent (i) promptly after the filing thereof with the United States Secretary of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service or the PBGC, copies of each annual and other report with respect to
each Plan or any trust created thereunder, (ii) immediately upon becoming aware of the occurrence of any ERISA Event or of any “prohibited transaction,” as described in Section 406 of ERISA or in Section 4975 of the Code, in
connection with any Plan or any trust created thereunder, a written notice signed by the President or the principal Financial Officer of the Borrower, the Subsidiary or the ERISA Affiliate, as the case may be, specifying the nature thereof, what
action the Borrower, the Subsidiary or the ERISA Affiliate, as applicable, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto, and, when known, any action taken or proposed by the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor or the PBGC with
respect thereto, and (iii) immediately upon receipt thereof, copies of any notice of the PBGC’s intention to terminate or to have a trustee appointed to 

  
 83 

 
administer any Plan. With respect to each Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan), the Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary and ERISA Affiliate to, (i) satisfy in full and in a
timely manner, without incurring any late payment or underpayment charge or penalty and without giving rise to any lien, all of the contribution and funding requirements of Section 412 of the Code (determined without regard to subsections (d),
(e), (f) and (k) thereof) and of Section 302 of ERISA (determined without regard to sections 303, 304 and 306 of ERISA), and (ii) pay, or cause to be paid, to the PBGC in a timely manner, without incurring any late payment or
underpayment charge or penalty, all premiums required pursuant to sections 4006 and 4007 of ERISA. 

Section 8.16.    Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under each Loan Document in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however,
that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 8.16 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this
Section 8.16, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under
this Section shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been fully and finally paid. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 8.16 constitute, and this
Section 8.16 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

Section 8.17.    Required Swap Agreements. Not later than 20 days following the Sixth Amendment Effective Date
(or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) (the “Required Swap Date”), the Borrower shall or shall have caused another Loan Party to, enter into and maintain Swap Agreements with one or more
Approved Counterparties to hedge notional amounts of crude oil and natural gas, as applicable, covering not less than (a) for each calendar month during the period of 24 consecutive full calendar months following the Required Swap Date, seventy
percent (70%) of the Projected Production from the total Proved Developed Producing Reserves of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such calendar month, calculated separately; and (b) for each calendar month during the period of 12
consecutive full calendar months following the period of 24 consecutive months specified in clause (a), fifty percent (50%) of the Projected Production from the total Proved Developed Producing Reserves of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such
calendar month, calculated separately. 
 Section 8.18.    Post-Amendment Obligations. 

(a)    Not later than 60 days after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, which date may be extended in the
Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, the Borrower shall (a) close any deposit account, securities account or commodity account (that does not constitute an Excluded Account) at or with any banking or other financial institution
that is not a Lender, (b) establish new deposit accounts, securities accounts and/or commodity accounts with Lenders and deposit any Collateral from the accounts closed pursuant to clause (a) in such newly established accounts, and
(c) in respect of each of the accounts described in clause (b) (that does not constitute an Excluded Account), deliver to the Administrative Agent a control agreement signed by the Administrative Agent, the depository bank, the other parties
thereto and the applicable Loan Party, and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, covering the applicable deposit account, securities account or commodity account. 

(b)    Not later than 30 days after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, which date may be extended in the
Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion (such date, the “Second  

  
 84 

 
Lien Discharge Date”), the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it that all amounts outstanding under the Second
Lien Notes have been paid in full, that the Second Lien Documents (as defined in the Sixth Amendment) have been terminated and that any security interests in connection therewith have been released or terminated. 

(c)    Not later than 30 days after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, which date may be extended in the
Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, the Administrative Agent shall have received title information (including customary title opinions, information or reports or other documents) consistent with usual and customary standards for the
geographic regions in which the Borrowing Base properties and acquired Oil and Gas Properties are located with respect to not less than 80% of the value of the Oil and Gas Properties included in the Borrowing Base (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, the Lonestar Assets included in the Borrowing Base).

Senior Debt, to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder) shall not exceed $300,000,000, (ii) the Borrower shall comply with Section 8.01(r); and (iii) the Borrowing Base then in effect shall be adjusted to the extent required by
Section 2.07(e)(iii), and the Borrower shall make any prepayment required by Section 3.04(c)(iii). Upon each such incurrence of Permitted Senior Debt, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant to the Lenders that both before
and immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Permitted Senior Debt (and any concurrent repayment of other Permitted Senior Debt refinanced with such Permitted Senior Debt then being incurred, as the case may be, with the proceeds of

(k)    at any time prior to the Second Lien Discharge Date, the Second Lien Notes; and

Subsidiary to, enter into any transaction, including, without limitation, any purchase, sale, lease or exchange of Property or the rendering of any service, with any Affiliate (other than the Guarantors and Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Borrower)

Imbalance, or (b) except in those circumstances where in accordance with customary industry practice it would otherwise be prudent to do so and such actions or transactions individually or in the aggregate will not have a Material Adverse
Effect, allow take-or-pay or other prepayments with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that would require the Borrower or such
Subsidiary to deliver Hydrocarbons at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor.

(A)    not more than 25% of total hedged volumes will be comprised of hedged volumes from properties
other than Proved Developed Producing Reserves, as included in the most recently delivered SEC Report for each of crude oil and natural gas, calculated separately; and 

(B)    the aggregate notional volumes of all such Swap Agreements (other than put and floor options
and basis differential swaps on volumes already hedged pursuant to other Swap Agreements) in any current or future fiscal quarter, as listed in the most recently delivered Swap Agreement Certificate, shall not exceed 100% of gross volumes of crude

Certificate received by the Administrative Agent, as applicable. 
 If any Swap Agreement Certificate reflects, or if the
Borrower otherwise determines and so notifies the Administrative Agent, that after the end of any fiscal quarter the requirements of clause (a)(iii)(B) above are not met, then if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall within
30 days of such request, terminate, create off-setting positions, or otherwise unwind or monetize existing Swap Agreements such that, at such time, the Borrower is then in compliance with the requirements of
clause (a)(iii)(B) above.

Approved Counterparty, as follows: (i) Swap Agreements effectively converting interest rates from fixed to floating, the notional amounts of which (when aggregated with all other Swap Agreements of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries then in
effect effectively converting interest rates from fixed to floating) do not exceed 50% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Borrower’s Debt for borrowed money which bears interest at a fixed rate and (ii) Swap Agreements
effectively converting interest rates from floating to fixed, the notional amounts of which (when aggregated with all other Swap Agreements of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries then in effect effectively converting interest rates from floating to

oil and gas business and (iii) other contracts for the purchase and/or sale of Hydrocarbons of third parties (A) which have generally offsetting provisions (i.e. corresponding pricing mechanics, delivery dates and points and volumes) such

(i)    First, to payment or reimbursement of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
expenses and indemnities payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; 

(ii)    Second, pro rata to payment or reimbursement of that portion of the Obligations constituting
fees, expenses and indemnities payable to the Lenders; 
 (iii)    Third, pro rata to payment of
accrued interest on the Loans; 
 (iv)    Fourth, pro rata to payment of principal outstanding on
the Loans, Obligations owing to any Swap Lender, and Obligations owed to any Treasury Management Party; 

(v)    Fifth, pro rata to any other Obligations and to serve as Cash Collateral to be held by the
Administrative Agent to secure the LC Exposure; and 
 (vi)    Sixth, any excess, after all of the
Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, shall be paid to the Borrower or as otherwise required by any Governmental Requirement. 

Amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (v) above shall be applied to
satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if
any, in the order set forth above. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Obligations owing to any Swap Lender and Obligations arising under Secured Treasury Management Agreements shall be excluded from
the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Swap Lender or Treasury Management Party,
as the case may be. Each Swap Lender and Treasury Management Party not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of
the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article XI hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection (c), or anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, no
amount received from any Loan Party shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Loan Party, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise
set forth above in this Section 10.02(c).

 ARTICLE XI 

The Agents 

Section 11.01.    Appointment; Powers. 

(a)    Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank to act on its behalf
as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan
Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the
Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect
only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 
 (b)    The Administrative Agent shall
also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Swap Lender and/or Treasury Management Party) and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes
the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such
powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents
and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the
Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Instruments, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article XI and
Article XII (including Section 12.03(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 

Section 11.02.    Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the
same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or
unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, 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 the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lenders. 
 Section 11.03.    Exculpatory Provisions. 

(a)    The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 

(i)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has
occurred and is continuing; 

  
 100 

 (ii)    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 the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent will not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its
counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that
may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and 

(iii)    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 the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity. 
 (b)    The Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as
provided in Sections 12.02 and 10.02)), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent
shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Bank. 

(c)    The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement 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 the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Instruments, (v) the value or sufficiency of any
of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VI or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

Section 11.04.    Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon,
and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (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. The Administrative 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, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative 

  
 101 

 
Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing
Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

Section 11.05.     Delegation of Duties. The Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall
apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Loans as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the
selection of such sub agents. 
 Section 11.06.    Resignation of Administrative Agent and/or Issuing Bank.

 (a)    The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, so long as no Event of Default then exists in consultation with the Borrower, 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 Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided
that if the Administrative 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 (i) the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall
instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent (except for any indemnity, fees or other payments owed to the
retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative 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 the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

  
 102 

 (b)    Any resignation by Citibank as Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank. After the resignation of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations
of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, renew or increase any
existing Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, any Letter of Credit with an auto-extend feature (for the avoidance of doubt, the retiring Issuing Bank is authorized to notify any and each beneficiary of each Letter of Credit (in
accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit) that any such Letter of Credit will not be renewed, extended or increased, automatically or otherwise). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder,
(i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank (except for any indemnity, fees or other payments owed to the retiring Issuing Bank), (ii) the
retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank 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 Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit. 

(c)    In addition to the foregoing, if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting
Lender, the Issuing Bank may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, resign as Issuing Bank, effective at the close of business on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than 30 days after the
date of such notice); provided that such resignation by the Issuing Bank will have no effect on the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then outstanding or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with
respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit or otherwise to the Issuing Bank. 
 Section 11.07.    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative 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 Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative 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. 

Section 11.08.    No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the
Bookrunners, Arrangers, Documentation Agents or Syndication Agents 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
the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder. No Bookrunner, Arranger, Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. 

Section 11.09.    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration
or otherwise and irrespective of whether the 

  
 103 

 
Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) 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, LC Exposure 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 the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Bank
and the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.05 and 12.03) 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 Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, to
pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under
Section 12.03. 
 Section 11.10.    Collateral and Guaranty Matters. 

(a)    Each of Lenders and the other Secured Parties (including each Lender in its capacity as a potential
Swap Lender and/or Treasury Management Party), and the Issuing Bank, irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, 

(i)    to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan
Document (x) upon termination of all of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to
which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall have been made), (y) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other
disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (z) subject to Section 12.02, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; 

(ii)    to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any
Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 9.03; and 

(iii)    to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement if such Person ceases
to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents. 
 Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time,
the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement
pursuant to this Article XI. In each case as specified in this Section 11.10, the 

  
 104 

 
Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of
such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Instruments or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement, in each case in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 11.10. 

(b)    The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into
any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection
therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. 

Section 11.11.    Secured Swap Agreements and Secured Treasury Management Agreements. No Swap Lender or
Treasury Management Party that obtains the benefits of Section 10.02(c), any Guaranty Agreement or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty Agreement or any
Security Instrument shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any
Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XI to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required
to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Swap Agreements and/or Secured Treasury Management Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written
notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Swap Lender or Treasury Management Party, as the case may be.

Administrative Questionnaire. 
 Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered
mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the
opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b). 

(b)    Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder may be delivered or
furnished by electronic communication (including e mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Bank
pursuant to Article II, Article III, Article IV and Article V if such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by
electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that
approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 
 Unless the Administrative Agent
otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by
the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or 

  
 106 

 
communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address
as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor, provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or
other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient. 

(c)    Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number or email address for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. 
 (d)    (i) Each Loan Party agrees that the
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar
electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). 
 (ii)    The Platform is
provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind,
express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code
defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the
Borrower or the other Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or
otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information,
document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank by means of electronic
communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform. 
 (iii)    Each Public Lender
agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such
Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through
the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, any of the other Loan Parties, or their securities for
purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 
 Section 12.02.    Waivers; Amendments. 

(a)    No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender
to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, under any of the Loan Documents shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor 

  
 107 

 
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise
have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.02(b), and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a
waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

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, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from
exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Issuing Bank from exercising the rights and remedies that
inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuing Bank) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 12.08 (subject to the terms of
Section 4.01), 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 the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 10.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 4.01, 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. 

(b)    Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any other Loan Document or any provision thereof
may be waived, amended or modified, except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Majority Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Majority Lenders;
provided that no such agreement shall 
 (i)    increase the Commitment or the Maximum Credit
Amount of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, 
 (ii)    increase the Borrowing Base
without the written consent of each Lender, decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base without the consent of the Required Lenders, or modify Section 2.07 in any manner without the consent of each Lender, 

(iii)    reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon,
or reduce any fees payable hereunder, or reduce any other Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 

  
 108 

 (iv)    postpone the scheduled date of payment or prepayment
of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or any other Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or
postpone or extend the Termination Date without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 

(v)    change Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(c) or
Section 10.02(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby and if applicable, each Swap Lender
and each Treasury Management Party affected thereby, 

(vi)    waive or amend Section 3.04(c), Section 6.02,

Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and (B) nothing in this Section 12.02 shall cause any waiver, amendment, modification or consent to (I) any fee letter between the Borrower and any Lender, Agent or the

(b)    THE BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (AND ANY
SUB-AGENT THEREOF), EACH LENDER AND THE ISSUING BANK, 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, PENALTIES AND RELATED EXPENSES (INCLUDING THE FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY COUNSEL FOR ANY INDEMNITEE), INCURRED BY ANY INDEMNITEE OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY
INDEMNITEE BY ANY PERSON OR BY THE 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, (II) ANY LOAN OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR THE USE OR PROPOSED
USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM (INCLUDING ANY REFUSAL BY THE ISSUING BANK TO HONOR A DEMAND FOR PAYMENT UNDER A LETTER OF CREDIT IF THE DOCUMENTS PRESENTED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DEMAND DO NOT STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH LETTER OF
CREDIT), (III) ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED PRESENCE OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR OTHER LOAN PARTIES, OR ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE

 110 

 
IS A PARTY THERETO, PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, PENALTIES 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 THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER
LOAN PARTY AGAINST AN INDEMNITEE FOR MATERIAL BREACH IN BAD FAITH OF SUCH INDEMNITEE’S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, IF THE 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. THIS SECTION 12.03(b) SHALL NOT APPLY WITH RESPECT TO TAXES OTHER THAN ANY TAXES THAT REPRESENT LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, ETC. ARISING FROM ANY
NON-TAX CLAIM. 
 (c)    To the extent that the Borrower for any
reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Arranger or the Issuing Bank or any Related Party of the foregoing under
Section 12.03(a) or (b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Bank, or such Related Party as the case may be, such
Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the total Revolving Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including
any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to the Issuing Bank solely in its capacity as such, only the Lenders shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts, such
payment to be made severally among them based on such Lenders’ Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) provided, further, that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Bank in its capacity as
such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. 

(d)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the 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 or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising
from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it 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. 
 (e)    All amounts due under this
Section 12.03 shall be payable promptly, but in any event not later than ten days after demand therefor. 

(f)    The provisions of this Section 12.03 shall remain operative and in full
force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the
invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank. 

  
 111 

 Section 12.04.    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 neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b)
of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (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 paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent 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 at the time owing to it); provided that in
each case 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/or the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in
paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate 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 paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section,
the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable 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 the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed).  

  
 112 

 (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 Loan or the Commitment assigned. 

(iii)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent
required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A)    the consent
of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or
(y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall
object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof and provided, further, that the Borrower’s
consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Loans;  
 (B)    the
consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for assignments in respect of the Loans or any unfunded Commitments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with
respect to such Lender; and 
 (C)    the consent of the Issuing Bank shall be required
for any assignment in respect of the Loans or any unfunded Commitment. 
 (iv)    Assignment
and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

(v)    No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) to any Loan
Party or any of Affiliate of any Loan Party or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B). 

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

  
 113 

 (vii)    Certain Additional Payments. In connection
with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such
additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating
actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor
hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and
(y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and
obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of
this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph
(c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the 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
Article V and Section 12.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly
agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of
this Section. 
 (c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Dallas, Texas, 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 (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall 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. The
Register shall be available for inspection by 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 Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (except (x) a natural Person or (y) any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or any Affiliate of an Loan Party

  
 114 

 
or Subsidiary of a Loan Party) (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 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 Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 12.03(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s). 

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Sections 12.02(b) to the extent that it affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits
of Article V (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.03(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under
Section 5.03(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that
such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.04 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Sections 5.01 or 5.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in
Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the
provisions of Section 5.04(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were a Lender;
provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the
Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of
any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to
establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(e)    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 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. 

  
 115 

 (f)    Prohibited Transfer. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Section 12.04, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” laws of any state. 

Section 12.05.    Survival; Revival; Reinstatement. 

(a)    All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the other Loan
Parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any other
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or
any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of
Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 and Article XI shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or
thereof. 
 (b)    To the extent that any payments on the Obligations or proceeds of any collateral are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the
Obligations so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and
each Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrower shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to
effect such reinstatement. 
 Section 12.06.    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic
Signatures. 
 (a)    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. 

(b)    This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees
payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof and thereof. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. 

  
 116 

 (c)    Except as provided in
Section 6.01, this Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when
taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

(d)    Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “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 records in
electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable
law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

Section 12.07.    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 12.08.    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender,
the Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, 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) at any time held and other obligations (of whatsoever kind and in whatever currency, including, without limitation, obligations under Swap Agreements and Treasury Management Agreements) at any time owing
by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, any Subsidiary, or other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower, any Subsidiary, or other Loan Party now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to such Lender or the Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower, such Subsidiary or such Guarantor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or the Issuing Bank different from the
branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately
to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such
Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that
such Lender, the Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. The rights of each Lender under this Section 12.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or
its Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative 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.

Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

 Section 12.10.    Headings. Article and Section headings and
the Table of Contents used herein and in the other Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document. 
 Section 12.11.    Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and
the Issuing Bank agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (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 required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over
such Person or its Related Parties (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, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement
or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Loans or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance
and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans; (h) with the consent of the Borrower; or (i) 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 the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. 

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. 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 the Lenders acknowledges and
agrees that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or another Loan Party, 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 United States
Federal and state securities laws. 
 Section 12.12.    Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the
parties hereto that each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby 

  
 119 

 
would be usurious as to any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily
applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the
Notes, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under any of the Loan Documents or
agreements or otherwise in connection with the Notes shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Lender on
the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the
Notes is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest
under law applicable to any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Lender as of the date
of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in
full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Lender, be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the stated term of the Loans evidenced by the Notes until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If
at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 12.12 and (ii) in
respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender, then the
amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Lender shall
equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.12. To the extent that Chapter 303 of the Texas
Finance Code is relevant for the purpose of determining the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to a Lender, such Lender elects to determine the applicable rate ceiling under such Chapter by the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect. Chapter 346 of
the Texas Finance Code does not apply to the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 

Section 12.13.    EXCULPATION PROVISIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT IT HAS A DUTY TO
READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND AGREES THAT IT IS CHARGED WITH NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; THAT IT HAS IN FACT READ THIS AGREEMENT AND IS FULLY INFORMED AND HAS FULL NOTICE

RECEIVED THE ADVICE OF ITS ATTORNEY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT CERTAIN OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS RESULT IN ONE PARTY ASSUMING THE LIABILITY INHERENT IN
SOME ASPECTS OF THE TRANSACTION AND RELIEVING THE OTHER PARTY OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH LIABILITY. EACH PARTY HERETO 

  
 120 

 
AGREES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY EXCULPATORY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ON THE BASIS THAT THE PARTY HAD NO NOTICE
OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH PROVISION OR THAT THE PROVISION IS NOT “CONSPICUOUS.” 

Section 12.14.    Collateral Matters; Swap Agreements; Treasury Management Agreements. The benefit of the
Security Instruments and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to any collateral securing the Obligations shall also extend to and be available to any Swap Lender and any Treasury Management Party with respect to amounts payable by the
Borrower, any Subsidiary, and any Guarantor under any Secured Swap Agreement and/or Secured Treasury Management Agreement on a pari passu basis with respect to repayment of principal outstanding on Loans due under this Agreement. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 12.02(b)(v), no Swap Lender or Treasury Management Party shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Swap Agreements or
Treasury Management Agreements. All Swap Agreements between the Borrower or any Subsidiary and any Swap Lender are independent agreements governed by the terms thereof and will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment,
prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms of the Loans created under this Agreement except as otherwise provided in said Swap Agreement, and any payoff statement from any Lender relating to this Agreement shall not apply
to said Swap Agreement with such Swap Lender except as otherwise expressly provided in such payoff statement. All Treasury Management Agreements between the Borrower and any Treasury Management Party are independent agreements governed by the terms
thereof and will remain in force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms of the Loans created under this Agreement except as otherwise provided in said Treasury Management
Agreement, and any payoff statement from any Lender relating to this Agreement shall not apply to said Treasury Management Agreement with such Treasury Management Party except as otherwise expressly provided in such payoff statement.

the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue, amend, renew or extend Letters of Credit hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Borrower, and no other Person (including, without limitation, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, any obligor,
contractor, subcontractor, supplier or materialman) shall have any rights, claims, remedies or privileges hereunder or under any other Loan Document against the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender for any reason
whatsoever. There are no third party beneficiaries. 
 Section 12.16.    No Advisory or Fiduciary
Responsibility. The Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that in connection with all aspects of (x) the transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan

THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective covenants and agreements set forth below, the Parties agree

AGREEMENT

1. Term.
The Company shall continue to employ Executive, and Executive accepts such continued employment, on the terms and conditions

Date has not occurred, the term of this Agreement shall be automatically renewed for the twelve (12) month period immediately
following the Expiration Date and each twelve (12) month period ending thereafter (each, a “Renewal Term”
and, together with the Initial Term, the “Term”), unless either the Company or Executive provides written
notice to the other Party of his or its election not to renew this Agreement at least thirty (30) days prior to the last day of
the then-current Term. Executive’s employment hereunder shall be coterminous with the Term, and termination of Executive’s

2. Duties
as Executive of the Company. Subject to this Agreement’s terms, Executive agrees to continue to serve the Company
as its Executive Vice President of Business Development and General Manager South America and to act in the ordinary course of
its business with all the powers and duties reasonably incident to the position(s) and such other responsibilities or duties that
may be from time to time assigned to Executive by the Board of Directors or the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Executive
shall report to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company acknowledges that the Executive is also currently serving
as Board Member and Legal Representative in Argentina for the Neos Group of Companies and owns a seismic processing business,
Geo Imaging Solutions, which require some of his attention. Company agrees that such service shall not constitute a breach of
Executive’s duties under this Agreement, if and so long as (i) Executive devotes such portion of his time as is necessary
to carry perform his duties under this Agreement for the Company promptly and in accordance with the highest professional standards
and (ii) Executive does not accept any increase in his responsibilities for Neos or any additional position as an employee, officer
or director of any other person or firm unless he notifies the Company in writing of the nature of the increase responsibilities
or additional position and the Company, in its sole discretion, consents thereto in writing.

 

3. Compensation
and Related Matters.

 

(a) Base
Salary. Executive shall receive an initial Base Salary (defined below) paid by the Company at the annual rate of $312,000
per year, including what was previously paid to cover health care insurance in Argentina. Executive’s Base Salary may be
increased annually, effective on January 1 of each year beginning after the Effective Date, by an amount (if any) to be determined
by Eco-Stim, in its sole discretion. For purposes of this Agreement, “Base Salary” shall mean Executive’s
initial base salary or, the adjusted base salary then in effect at the time in question. The Base Salary shall be paid, subject
to all applicable withholdings and deductions, in accordance with the Company’s ordinary payroll practices, as in effect
from time to time.

 

(b) Bonus
Target. During each full calendar year of the Term, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus in an amount,
if any, to be determined by the Board of Directors of Eco-Stim in its sole discretion, up to a maximum of one hundred percent
(100%) of Executive’s Base Salary (the “Annual Bonus”). The amount of the Annual
Bonus awarded, if any, shall be based on achieving certain goals related to Company performance and objectives, established and
measured by the Board of Directors of Eco-Stim, in its sole discretion. To receive any Annual Bonus for a calendar year, Executive
must be in “active working status” at the time such Annual Bonus is scheduled to be paid, except as
otherwise provided in Section 4, below. For purposes of this Agreement, “active working status” means
that the Termination Date has not occurred for any reason and Executive has not been given notice of termination of his employment
for any reason, and Executive has not resigned his employment or given notice of his resignation, for any reason.

 

(c) Expenses.
Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable business expenses incurred by him, in accordance
with the policies and procedures established by the Company from time to time, in performing services under this Agreement and
during his employment with the Company, provided that Executive properly accounts for the expenses in accordance with Company
policies. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for
reimbursement in any other calendar year. Reimbursement of eligible expenses shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar
month following the calendar month in which the expenses were incurred, provided appropriate requests with supporting documentation
are timely submitted in accordance with, or as otherwise provided in, the Company’s business expense reimbursement policy.

(d) Benefits.
During the Term, Executive shall be eligible to participate in such retirement and employee benefit plans and arrangements
that may be offered to the Company’s senior executives, subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions,
and overall administration of such plans and arrangements, as amended from time to time. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed
to confer upon Executive or any other person, including any beneficiary, any rights under or with respect to any such plan or
arrangement or to amend any such plan or arrangement, and Executive and each other person, including any beneficiary, shall be
entitled to look only to the express terms of any such plan or arrangement for his or her rights thereunder. Nothing paid to Executive
under any such plan or arrangement presently in effect or made available in the future shall be deemed to be in lieu of the Base
Salary and other benefits payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(e) Vacation;
Sick Leave; Holidays. Executive shall be entitled to twenty (20) days of vacation and six (6) days of paid sick leave
during each year of the Term, pro-rated for partial years, exclusive of holidays. Executive shall insure that the scheduling of

as provided by the terms of the Company’s policy governing vacation, as that policy is updated or revised from time to time
in the Company’s sole discretion. For purposes of this Section, weekends shall not count as Vacation days. Executive shall
also be entitled to all paid holidays given by the Company.

 

(f) Proration.
The Base Salary payable to Executive hereunder in respect of any calendar year during which Executive is employed by the Company
for less than the entire year shall be prorated in accordance with the total number of calendar days in such calendar year during
which he is so employed.

 

4. Termination.

 

(a) Definitions.

 

(1) “Cause”
shall mean:

 

(i) Executive’s
failure or refusal to substantially perform his material duties, responsibilities and/or obligations, which failure or refusal
to perform (if curable) is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company within thirty (30) days following written notice
from the Company to Executive setting forth the nature of the duties, responsibilities and/or obligations that Executive has failed
or refused substantially to perform; provided that Cause shall not include Executive’s failure to so perform as a result
of Executive’s incapacity due to his Disability;

 

(ii) any
act by Executive involving fraud, misrepresentation, theft, embezzlement, or dishonesty on a material matter in connection with
Executive’s employment with, or performance of his duties for, the Company; or

 

    	 	 3	 

    	 

    

 

(iii) conviction
of Executive, or a plea by Executive, of guilty or nolo contendere to, an offense that is a (A) felony or (B) misdemeanor

(2) A
“Disability” or “Disabled” shall mean the inability of Executive
to perform the essential functions of his position at the Company by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment
that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than three (3) months.
Executive shall be considered to have a Disability (i) if he is determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration
or (ii) if he is determined to be disabled under Eco-Stim’s long-term disability plan in which Executive participates and
if such plan defines “disability” in a manner that is consistent with the immediately preceding sentence.

 

(3) A
“Good Reason” shall mean that the occurrence of any of the following without Executive’s
express written consent:

 

(i) A
material diminution in Executive’s Base Salary;

 

(ii) A
change in the location where Executive is expected or required to perform the majority of Executive’s job duties at the

miles from the Base Location, except for travel reasonably required of Executive on the Company’s business;

 

(iii) A
substantial and adverse diminution in Executive’s duties, authority, responsibility or position with the Company; or

 

(iv) Any
breach by the Company of any material provision of this Agreement.

 

Executive’s

provided, however, that Good Reason shall cease to exist on the thirtieth (30th) day following the later of (x) the occurrence
of the fact, event, condition or other circumstance constituting or giving rise to Good Reason or (y) Executive’s knowledge
thereof. During such thirty (30) day notice period, the Company shall have a cure right, and Executive’s termination for
Good Reason will be effective upon expiration of such cure period only if the fact, event, condition or other circumstance constituting
or giving rise to Good Reason is not cured within such period. Any such termination by Executive shall not be deemed a breach
of the Agreement. If the Company timely cures the fact, event, condition or other circumstance giving rise to Good Reason for
Executive’s resignation, the notice of termination shall become null and void.

 

(4) “Termination
Date” shall mean the date Executive’s employment with the Company and this Agreement terminates or is
terminated for any reason. To the extent that any payments or benefits under this Agreement are considered nonqualified deferred
compensation subject to Section 409A (“Code Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”),
to the extent necessary to avoid additional taxes under Code Section 409A, such termination of employment will only be considered
a termination of employment to the extent it also constitutes a “separation from service” for purposes of Code Section
409A.

covered dependents are covered by another company’s group health insurance, whichever is sooner; and provided, further,
that if the Company determines in good faith that its payment of such cost will result in the imposition of excise taxes or penalties
on the Company and/or the insurance carrier with respect to such medical benefits, then the Company shall not pay (or reimburse)
such cost and the Company shall provide an economically equivalent benefit or payment, to the extent that such benefit or payment

due to non-renewal by Executive, in full satisfaction of its obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall provide Executive

agreed by the Parties, not to disparage the Company, its employees, officers, directors and affiliates, and to release and waive
any claim or cause of action that Executive may have against the Company and any of its affiliates, including, without limitation,

payment or benefit that is due under the express terms of this Agreement at the time the time Executive executes the Release.

Information, during the Term, he will not compete with the Company or any of its affiliates, including by engaging in the conception,
design, development, production, marketing, or servicing of any product or service that is substantially similar to the products
or services which the Company provides, and that he will not work for, in any capacity, assist, or become affiliated with as an
owner, founder, shareholder, partner, member, lender, advisor, director, consultant, contractor, agent, employee, affiliate or
co-venturer, or otherwise act in any capacity, either directly or indirectly, of, in or with respect to, any individual or business
which offers or performs services, or offers or provides products substantially similar to the services and products provided
by the Company or any of its affiliates; provided, however, Executive shall not be prevented from owning no more than 2%
of any company whose stock is publicly traded.

 

    	 	 7	 

    	 

    

 

(b) Conflicts
of Interest. Executive agrees that during the Term, he will not engage, either directly or indirectly, in any activity
(a “Conflict of Interest”) that might adversely affect the Company, including ownership of a material
investment in a competitor of the Company, ownership of a material interest in any supplier, contractor, distributor, subcontractor,
customer or other entity with which the Company does business or acceptance of any material payment, service, loan, gift, trip,
entertainment, or other favor from a supplier, contractor, distributor, subcontractor, customer or other entity with which the
Company does business, and that Executive will promptly inform the CEO or the Eco-Stim Board of Directors as to each offer received
by Executive to engage in any such activity. As used in this Section 7(b), “materiality” shall be viewed
from the perspective of Executive. Executive further agrees to disclose to the Company any other facts of which Executive becomes
aware which in Executive’s good faith judgment could reasonably be expected to involve or give rise to a Conflict of Interest
or potential Conflict of Interest.

 

(c) Non-Competition
After Termination from Employment. Executive hereby agrees that, in order to protect the Company’s Confidential
Information, it is necessary to enter into the following restrictive covenant, which is ancillary to the enforceable promises
between the Company and Executive otherwise contained in this Agreement. Executive hereby agrees that Executive shall not at any
time during the Restricted Period engage in any capacity, whether as an owner, founder, shareholder, partner, member, lender,
advisor, director, consultant, contractor, agent, employee, affiliate or co-venturer, or otherwise, either directly or indirectly,
in any commercial enterprise, a primary business of which is to develop, manufacture, sell, lease, or otherwise provide any product,
process, apparatus, service or development competitive with or substantially similar to any product, process, apparatus, service,
or development sold or provided by the Company or any of its affiliates (“Competitive Products”) on
which Executive worked or about which Executive learned Confidential Information while employed by the Company anywhere within
Texas, Oklahoma, Argentina, and/or any of the other markets in which the Company or any of its affiliates has sold Competitive
Products or formulated a plan to sell Competitive Products into a market during the last twelve (12) months of Executive’s
employ. It is understood that the geographical area set forth in this covenant is divisible so that if this clause is invalid
or unenforceable in an included geographic area, that area is severable and the clause remains in effect for the remaining included
geographic areas in which the clause is valid. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Restricted Period”
means a period of six (6) months after termination for any reason whatsoever, whether by Executive or the Company, of Executive’s
employment with the Company. The Restricted Period shall commence at the time Executive’s employment with the Company terminates.
The parties agree that this agreement of non-competition is intended to be enforceable by the Company only to the extent that
Texas law allows such a contractual limitation and it shall be void beyond such permitted limitations.

 

    	 	 8	 

    	 

    

 

(d) Confidential
Information. Executive agrees that he will not, except as the Company may otherwise consent or direct in writing, reveal
or disclose, sell, use, lecture upon, publish or otherwise disclose to any third party any Confidential Information or proprietary
information of the Company, or authorize anyone else to do these things at any time either during or subsequent to his employment
with the Company. This Section 7(d) shall continue in full force and effect after termination of Executive’s
employment and after the termination of this Agreement. Executive’s obligations under this Section 7(d) with
respect to any specific Confidential Information and proprietary information shall cease when that specific portion of the Confidential
Information and proprietary information becomes publicly known, in its entirety and without combining portions of such information
obtained separately and shall not apply to information that may be required by law or an order of any court, agency or proceeding
to be disclosed (but only for the purposes of and to the minimum extent required by such compelled disclosure, and provided that
Executive promptly notifies the Company of such requirement and provides the Company all reasonable assistance and cooperation
in seeking to oppose such requirement or obtain protective treatment). It is understood that such Confidential Information and
proprietary information of the Company include matters that Executive conceives or develops, as well as matters Executive learns
from other employees of the Company. “Confidential Information” is defined to include information: (1)
disclosed to or known by Executive as a consequence of or through his employment with the Company; (2) not generally known outside
the Company; and (3) that relates to any aspect of the Company or its business, finances, operation plans, budgets, research,
or strategic development. “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, the Company’s
trade secrets, proprietary information, financial documents, long range plans, customer or supplier lists, marketing strategy,
data bases, costing data, computer software developed by the Company, investments made by the Company, and any information provided
to the Company by a third party under restrictions against disclosure or use by the Company or others. Nothing in this Agreement
or otherwise shall prohibit Executive from making a report to any governmental agency or entity if Executive has a reasonable
belief that there has been a potential violation of federal or state law or regulation or from making other disclosures that are
protected under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable federal or state law or regulation. No prior authorization to make
any such reports or disclosures is required and Executive is not required to notify the Company that Executive has made such reports
or disclosures. Executive, however, may not waive the Company’s attorney-client privilege. The Company and Executive acknowledge
that pursuant to 18 U.S.C § 1833(b)(1) a Company employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal
or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local
government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating
a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such
filing is made under seal. The Company and Executive further acknowledge that, pursuant to 18 U.S.C § 1833(b)(2) if an employee
files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, such employee may disclose the trade
secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document
containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

(e) Work
Product; Assignment; Patent and Copyright Registrations; Warranty. Executive agrees that he has disclosed and will disclose
promptly and fully to the Company all discoveries, developments, concepts, ideas, know how, trade secrets, designs, inventions,
improvements, processes, computer programs, algorithms, models, graphics, pictorial representations, user interfaces, functional
specifications, reports, spreadsheets, presentations, analyses, works of authorship, and any improvements, enhancements, or documentation
of or to the same, including any Confidential Information, whether or not patentable, that he developed, made, worked on or conceived
or reduced to practice, individually or jointly with others prior to the date of this Agreement in any way related or pertaining
to or connected with the present or anticipated business, development, work or research of the Company, or that he develops, makes,
works on, conceives or reduces to practice, individually or jointly with others in the course of his work for the Company or with
the use of the Company’s time, materials or facilities in any way related or pertaining to or connected with the present
or anticipated business, development, work or research of the Company or which result from or are suggested by any work he may
do for the Company and whether produced during normal business hours or on personal time (collectively the “Work Product”).
Work Product shall further include any such works of authorship, inventions, discoveries, improvements, designs, processes, software
or improvements thereto conceived, made, reduced to practice, developed or perfected by Executive within six (6) months after
termination of Executive’s employment with the Company.

 

Executive
shall make and maintain adequate and current written records and evidence of all Work Product, including drawings, work papers,
graphs, computer records and any other documents, which shall be considered Company property.

 

(1) Work
Made for Hire. Executive acknowledges that all original works of authorship which are made by Executive (solely or jointly
with others) within the scope of his employment with the Company and which are protectable by copyright are “works made
for hire,” pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101). If any of the works of authorship which are
made by Executive (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of his employment with the Company are held for any reason
not to be “works made for hire” for the Company or if ownership of all right, title and interest in and to such works
has not vested exclusively and immediately in the Company upon creation, Executive hereby irrevocably assigns, without further
consideration, any and all right, title and interest in and to such works to the Company, including any and all Intellectual Property
Rights with respect thereto.

 

(2) Assignment
of Work Product. Executive hereby agrees and confirms that all right, title and interest, including all Intellectual Property
Rights (defined below), in and to the existing Work Product has been irrevocably (subject to the provisions of 17 U.S.C. §203,
if applicable) assigned at the time of creation, and/or is hereby irrevocably (subject to the provisions of 17 U.S.C. §203,
if applicable) assigned to the Company, and Executive hereby agrees that all right, title and interest in future Work Product
is and will be automatically and irrevocably (subject to the provisions of 17 U.S.C. §203, if applicable) assigned to the
Company. Executive has not assigned or otherwise granted any right in or to the Work Product to any third party and all Work Product
is and shall be the exclusive property of the Company. The Parties intended and intend that any and all copyright and other Intellectual
Property Rights in the Work Product, including without limitation any and all rights to distribute and reproduce such Work Product
in any and all media throughout the world, are the sole property of the Company.

 

    	 	 10	 

    	 

    

 

“Intellectual
Property Rights” shall mean, on a world-wide basis, any and all now known or hereafter known tangible and intangible
(i) rights associated with works of authorship including, without limitation, copyrights, moral rights and mask-works, (ii) trademark
and trade name rights and similar rights, including all goodwill associated therewith, (iii) trade secret rights and database
rights, (iv) patent rights, all rights associated with designs, algorithms, computer programs, methods of doing business, ideas,
concepts, techniques, inventions (whether patentable or not), processes and other industrial property rights, (v) all other intellectual
and industrial property rights of every kind and nature and however designated, whether arising by operation of law, contract,
license or otherwise, and (vi) all registrations, initial applications, renewals, extensions, continuations, divisions or reissues
thereof now or hereafter existing, made, or in force, both foreign and domestic (including any rights in any of the foregoing).

 

(3) Patent
and Copyright Registrations. The Company and its designees solely shall have the right to use and apply for common law
and statutory protections of the Work Product, including all patents, copyrights, mask work rights, and other intellectual property
rights, in any and all countries and jurisdictions. Furthermore, Executive agrees to assist the Company, or its designee, at the
Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the Work Product and any copyrights, patents,
mask work rights or other Intellectual Property Rights relating thereto in any and all countries and jurisdictions, including
the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications,
oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for, obtain, perfect and
assign such rights in the name of the Company. Executive further agrees that his obligation to execute or cause to be executed,
when it is in his power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of Executive’s employment
with the Company. If the Company is unable, for any reason, to secure Executive’s signature to execute such instruments
or papers relating to the Work Product, then Executive hereby designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers
and agents as Executive’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in Executive’s stead to record the Company’s
ownership interest and to execute and file any such instruments and papers relating to the Work Product and to do all other lawfully
permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon in the Company’s
name with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Executive. The foregoing agency shall apply to any applications or
registrations, including any divisions, continuations, renewals, reissues, and extensions and other instruments and papers, as
applicable, now existing or hereafter filed or issued. This agency is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

(4) Unassigned
Inventions. Executive recognizes that the terms of this Agreement do not require him to assign to the Company any invention
that was developed entirely on his own time without using equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secrets belonging to the Company
and neither related to the actual or anticipated business, research or development of the Company, nor resulting from work performed
by Executive for the Company.

 

    	 	 11	 

    	 

    

 

(f) Non-Solicitation.
To protect the Company’s Confidential Information, and in the event of Executive’s termination of employment for
any reason whatsoever, whether by Executive or the Company, it is necessary to enter into the following restrictive covenant,
which is ancillary to the enforceable promises between the Company and Executive otherwise contained in this Agreement. Executive
covenants and agrees that during Executive’s employment and for a period of six (6) months from the date of termination
of Executive’s employment for any reason whatsoever (the “Non-Solicitation Period”), Executive
will not, directly or indirectly, either individually or as an owner, founder, shareholder, partner, member, lender, advisor,
director, consultant, contractor, agent, employee, affiliate or co-venturer, or otherwise act in any capacity, of, in or with
respect to, any individual or business, except on behalf of the Company, solicit business, or attempt to solicit business, or
sell, lease, transfer, license, promote, or otherwise market products or services competitive with products or services sold by
the Company, to the Company’s clients, suppliers or customers, or those individuals or entities with whom the Company did
business, including those individuals or entities that the Company actively solicited for business with Executive’s participation,
during Executive’s employment. Executive further agrees that during Executive’s employment and for the Non-Solicitation
Period, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, or by acting in concert with others, solicit or influence any employee
of the Company or any of its affiliates or independent contractor engaged by the Company or any of its affiliates to end his or
her employment or engagement with the Company or accept employment or engagement with any entity in competition with the Company.

 

(g) Return
of Documents, Equipment, Etc. All writings, records, and other documents and things comprising, containing, describing,
discussing, explaining, or evidencing any Confidential Information, and all equipment, components, parts, tools, and the like
in Executive’s custody or possession that have been obtained or prepared in the course of Executive’s employment with
the Company shall be the exclusive property of the Company, shall not be copied and/or removed from the premises of the Company,
except in pursuit of the business of the Company, and shall be delivered to the Company, without Executive retaining any copies,
upon notification of the termination of Executive’s employment or at any other time requested by the Company. The Company
shall have the right to retain, access, and inspect all property of Executive of any kind in the office, work area, and on the
premises of the Company upon termination of Executive’s employment and at any time during employment by the Company to ensure
compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(h) Reaffirmation
of Obligations. Upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive, if requested by Company,
shall reaffirm in writing Executive’s recognition of the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of the Company’s
Confidential Information and proprietary information, and reaffirm any other obligations set forth in this Agreement.

 

(i) Prior
Disclosure. Executive represents and warrants that Executive has not used or disclosed any Confidential Information he
may have obtained from the Company prior to signing this Agreement, in any way inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(j) No
Previous Restrictive Agreements. Executive represents that, except as disclosed in writing to the Company, Executive is
not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party to refrain from using or disclosing any trade
secret or confidential or proprietary information in the course of Executive’s employment by the Company or to refrain from
competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or any other party. Executive further represents
that Executive’s performance of all the terms of this Agreement and Executive’s work duties for the Company does not
and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by Executive in confidence
or in trust prior to Executive’s employment with the Company, and Executive will not disclose to the Company or induce the
Company to use any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or other party.

 

    	 	 12	 

    	 

    

 

(k) Breach;
Remedies and Representations. Executive agrees that any breach of Sections 7(a) through (k) above
will cause irreparable damage to the Company, which cannot be remedied solely by money damages, and that in addition to any other
remedies the Company may have, the Company is entitled to obtain injunctive relief against Executive to prevent the breach or
threatened breach of any of Executive’s obligations thereunder. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed as limiting
the Company’s right to pursue any other available remedy at law or in equity, including recovery of damages and termination
of this Agreement and/or any termination or offset against any payments that may be due pursuant to this Agreement. Executive
acknowledges that Executive is sophisticated in business, that the restrictions and remedies set forth in this Section 7
do not create an undue hardship on Executive and will not prevent Executive from earning a livelihood. Executive understands
and agrees that the Company has a legitimate business interest in protecting the Confidential Information provided to Executive
during the course of Executive’s employment and the goodwill associated with the client and other business relationships
introduced to Executive and developed during Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive further acknowledges that
Executive has had a sufficient period of time within which to review this Agreement with an attorney of Executive’s choice
and Executive has done so to the extent he desired. Executive and the Company agree that the restrictions and remedies contained
in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests regardless of the
reason for or circumstances giving rise to such termination and that Executive and the Company intend that such restrictions and
remedies shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible by law.

 

(l) Enforceability.
The agreements contained in this Section 7 are independent of the other agreements contained herein. Accordingly,
failure of the Company to comply with any of its obligations outside of this Section do not excuse Executive from complying with
the agreements contained herein.

 

(m) Survivability.
The agreements contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

 

(n) Post-Employment
Notice Obligations. During the Term and continuing through the Restricted Period and the Non-Solicitation Period, Executive
agrees to notify any person or entity with whom Executive seeks or accepts employment or engagement, of Executive’s obligations
under this Section 7. The Company similarly may notify any subsequent employer of Executive’s obligations
under this Section 7 and Executive releases and holds the Company harmless in connection with such disclosure and
the consequences thereof. In addition, during the Restricted Period and the Non-Solicitation Period, Executive agrees to notify
the Company, in writing, not less than 3 business days before commencing employment or engagement with a third party and provide
the following information: (i) the name and address of the third party and (ii) Executive’s new title and general description
of Executive’s new job duties and responsibilities.

 

    	 	 13	 

    	 

    

 

8. Reformation.
If a court concludes that any time period or the geographic area specified in Sections 7(c) or (g) of
this Agreement are unenforceable, then the time period will be reduced by the number of months, or the geographic area will be
reduced by the elimination of the overbroad portion, or both, so that the restrictions may be enforced in the geographic area
and for the time to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

9. Director
and Officer Positions. Executive agrees that, upon termination of employment, for any reason, Executive will immediately
tender his resignation from any and all Board or officer positions held with the Company and/or any of its direct or indirect
parents or subsidiaries.

 

10. Indemnification
& D&O

 

(a) Claims.
The Company shall, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, indemnify Executive if Executive is made, or threatened
to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor (collectively, a “Proceeding”),
by reason of the fact that Executive is or was an employee, director or officer of the Company or an affiliate, or is or was serving
in any capacity at the request of the Company for any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan
or other enterprise, against judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid in settlement and costs, charges and expenses
(including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) paid or incurred in connection with any such Proceeding.

 

(b) Non-Exclusivity.
The right to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section
10 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which Executive may now or hereafter have under any law, bylaw, constituent
document, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in Executive’s official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

 

(c) Continuation
of Rights. The right to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant
to, this Section 10 shall continue as to Executive after Executive has ceased to be a director, officer, or employee
of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of Executive’s estate, both with
respect to proceedings that are threatened, pending or completed at the date of such termination and with respect to proceedings
that are threatened, pending or completed after the date.

 

(d) Enforcement.
The right to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section
10 shall be enforceable by Executive in any court of competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving that such indemnification
or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is not appropriate shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including
its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement
of such action that such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is proper in the circumstances nor an actual
determination by the Company (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that Executive
is not entitled to such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses shall constitute a defense to the action or
create a presumption that Executive is not so entitled. Executive shall also be indemnified for any expenses incurred in connection
with successfully establishing Executive’s right to such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses, in
whole or in part, in any proceeding.

 

    	 	 14	 

    	 

    

 

(e) Other
Services. If Executive serves (i) an affiliate of the Company, or (ii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or any
corporation referred to in clause (i), in any capacity, then Executive shall be deemed to be doing so at the request of the Company.

 

11. Assignment.
In entering into this Agreement, the Company is relying on the unique personal services of Executive; services from another
person will not be an acceptable substitute. Executive may not assign this Agreement or any of the rights or obligations set forth
in this Agreement without the written consent of the Company; provided, however, Executive may assign any right to receive payment
under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment by Executive in violation of this Section 11 shall be void. This
Agreement, and any rights and obligations hereunder, shall be assigned by the Company to a successor by merger or a purchaser
of substantially all of the assets of the Company.

 

12. Tax
Withholding. The payments and benefits under this Agreement may be compensation and as such may be included in either
Executive’s W-2 earnings statements or 1099 statements. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement
such federal, state or local taxes as the Company shall determine are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or
regulation.

 

13. Binding
Agreement. Executive understands that his obligations under this Agreement are binding upon Executive’s heirs, successors,
personal representatives, and legal representatives.

 

14. Notices.
All notices required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand
or sent by facsimile or sent, postage prepaid, by registered, certified or express mail or overnight courier service and shall
be deemed given when so delivered by hand or facsimile, or if mailed, three days after mailing (one business day in the case of
express mail or overnight courier service) to the parties at the following addresses or facsimiles (or at such other address for
a party as shall be specified by like notice):

 

	 	If
    to Executive:	Carlos

	 	 	Attn:
    Chief Executive Officer

 

Executive
hereby agrees to provide the Company with prompt written notice of any change in Executive’s address for so long as this
Agreement remains in effect. Notices delivered by facsimile shall have the same legal effect as if such notice had been delivered
in person.

 

15. Waiver.
No waiver by either Party to this Agreement of any right to enforce any term or condition of this Agreement, or of any breach
hereof, shall be deemed a waiver of such right in the future or of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement.

 

16. Entire
Agreement. Except as may be provided in any indemnification agreement between Executive and the Company and/or FracRock
International, Inc. (“FracRock”), the predecessor of the Company’s subsidiary, EcoStim International, Inc.,
and any plan and/or award agreement under which Executive was granted any equity or equity-based award with the Company and its
subsidiaries and their respective predecessors, the terms of this Agreement are intended by the Parties to be the final expression
of their agreement with respect to the employment of Executive by the Company and supersede all prior understandings and agreements,
whether written or oral, including, but not limited to, the Prior Employment Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this
Agreement and any such indemnification agreement, it is intended that the agreement that grants Executive greater rights shall
govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement will not in any way affect any equity or equity-based awards that may be
granted to Executive, which are governed by the applicable plan and/or award agreements under which they were granted, except
to the extent expressly provided for in such agreement or plan. The Parties further intend that this Agreement shall constitute
the complete and exclusive statement of its terms and that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial,
administrative, or other legal proceeding to vary the terms of this Agreement.

 

17. Modification
of Agreement. This Agreement may not be changed or modified or released or discharged or abandoned, in whole or in part,
except by an instrument in writing signed by Executive and an officer or other authorized executive of the Company.

 

18. Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard
to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

 

19. Jurisdiction
and Venue. With respect to any litigation regarding this Agreement, Executive and the Company agree to venue in the state
or federal courts in Harris County, Texas, and agrees to waive and does hereby waive any defenses and/or arguments based upon
improper venue and/or lack of personal jurisdiction. By entering into this Agreement, Executive and the Company agree to personal
jurisdiction in the state and federal courts in Harris County, Texas.

 

    	 	 16	 

    	 

    

 

20. Interpretation;
Counterparts. No provision of this Agreement is to be interpreted for or against any Party because that Party drafted
such provision. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement,
they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “hereto,”
“hereby,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement
shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “or” is not
exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or
other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable
to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. All pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine
or neuter as the context may require. Any agreement, instrument or law defined or referred to herein means such agreement, instrument
or law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, unless otherwise specifically indicated. This Agreement may be
executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or portable document file (PDF) signatures), each of which shall
be deemed an original and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

21. Compliance
With Section 409A.

 

(a) Delay
in Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if upon the Termination Date, any stock of the
Company is publicly traded on an established securities market within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and in the opinion of
reputable outside counsel engaged by the Company and acceptable to Executive, Executive is a “specified employee”
within the meaning of Code Section 409A and the deferral of any amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement as a result of
Executive’s termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax to Executive under
Code Section 409A, then the Company will defer the payment of any such amounts hereunder until the earlier of: (i) the date that
is six (6) months following the date of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, or (ii) the date
of Executive’s death, at which time any such delayed amounts will be paid to Executive in a single lump sum.

 

(b) Section
409A. It is the intention of the Parties that all payments and benefits under this Agreement (and any amendment hereto)
shall be made and provided in a manner that is either exempt from or intended to avoid taxation under Code Section 409A, to the
extent applicable. Any ambiguity in this Agreement (or any amendment hereto) shall be interpreted to comply with the above. Executive
acknowledges that the Company has made no representations as to the treatment of the compensation and benefits provided hereunder
and Executive has been advised to obtain his own tax advice. Each amount or benefit payable pursuant to this Agreement (and any
amendment hereto) shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

 

(c) Reimbursement.
To the extent that the reimbursement of any expenses or the provision of any in-kind benefits pursuant to this Agreement is
subject to Code Section 409A, (A) the amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided hereunder
during any one calendar year shall not affect the amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be
provided hereunder in any other calendar year; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any limit
on the amount of any expenses incurred by Executive that may be reimbursed or paid under the terms of the Company’s medical
plan, if such limit is imposed on all similarly situated participants in such plan; (B) all such expenses eligible for reimbursement
hereunder shall be paid to Executive no later than December 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such

(d) Reformation.
If the Company determines that any compensation or benefits provided by this Agreement may result in the application of Code Section
409A, the Company shall, in consultation with Executive, modify the Agreement in the least restrictive manner necessary in an
effort to exclude such compensation from the definition of “deferred compensation” within the meaning of such Code
Section 409A or in an effort to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A, other applicable provision(s) of the Code and/or
any rules, regulations or other regulatory guidance issued under such statutory provisions, without any diminution in the value
of the payments or benefits to Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to assume any increased
economic burden.

 

(e) Overall
Compliance. In the event that it is reasonably determined by the Company and Executive that, as a result of Code Section
409A, any of the payments that Executive is entitled to under the terms of this Agreement or any nonqualified deferred compensation
plan (as defined under Section 409A) may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms hereof or thereof, as the case may
be, without causing Executive to be subject to an income tax penalty and interest, the Company will make such payment on the first
day that would not result in Executive incurring any tax liability under Section 409A.

 

(f) Consultation
with Tax Advisor. Executive is hereby advised to consult immediately with his own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences
of this Agreement, including the consequences of Code Section 409A.
