Recitals

WHEREAS, Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders are parties to the Credit Agreement dated as of September 5, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have made certain credit available to and on behalf of Borrower.

WHEREAS, Borrower has requested and the Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects as hereinafter provided.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Defined Terms. Each capitalized term which is defined in the Credit Agreement, but which is not defined in this Amendment, shall have the meaning ascribed such term in the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to sections and articles in this Amendment refer to sections and articles of the Credit Agreement.

Section 2. Amendments to Credit Agreement.

(a) Section 9.13(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to the following:

On or before August 31st and February 28th of each year, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent a Reserve Report evaluating, as of the immediately preceding June 30th and December 31st, respectively, the Proved Reserves of the Borrower and the Credit Parties located within the geographic boundaries of the United States of America (or the Outer Continental Shelf adjacent to the United States of America) that the Borrower desires to have included in any calculation of the Borrowing Base. Each Reserve Report as of December 31 shall be prepared at the Borrower’s election, by one or more Approved Petroleum Engineers. Each Reserve Report as of June 30 shall be prepared by or under the supervision of the chief engineer of the Borrower, provided that the Borrower may elect to have such Reserve Report prepared by one or more Approved Petroleum Engineers. In any event, the Reserve Report shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.


(b) Section 10.10(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to the following:

At all times, on a net basis, the aggregate notional volume for each of natural gas, natural gas liquids, and crude oil, calculated separately, covered by Hedge Transactions for any fiscal quarter during the forthcoming sixty (60) month period (other than Excluded Hedges) shall not exceed, (x) for the first thirty (30) month period of such sixty (60) month period, 80% of the reasonably anticipated projected production (based upon the Borrower’s internal projections) and (y) for the second thirty (30) month period of such sixty (60) month period, 80% of the reasonably anticipated projected production from Proved Reserves (based on the most recent Reserve Report delivered pursuant to Section 9.13), in each case, of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil production, calculated separately, for each such quarter in the then forthcoming sixty (60) month period (the “Ongoing Hedges”). If after the end of any calendar month, the Borrower determines that the aggregate volume of all commodity hedging transactions for which settlement payments were calculated in such calendar month and the preceding calendar month (other than puts, floors, and basis differential swaps on volumes hedged by other Hedge Agreements) exceeded 80% of actual production of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil production in such two calendar month period, then, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of such calendar month, the Borrower shall terminate, create off-setting positions, allocate volumes to other production the Borrower or any Subsidiary is marketing, or otherwise unwind existing Hedge Agreements such that, at such time, future hedging volumes will not exceed 80% of reasonably anticipated projected production or 80% of reasonably anticipated projected production from Proved Reserves, as applicable, for the then-current and any succeeding calendar months.

Section 3. Borrowing Base. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that effective as of the date hereof the Borrowing Base shall be $425,000,000 until the date of the next determination or adjustment of the Borrowing Base pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The Borrowing Base established pursuant to this Section 3 is deemed to be the Borrowing Base to be determined effective as of the date hereof, as described in Section 2.14(b) of the Credit Agreement.

Section 4. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall become effective as of March 26, 2018 (other than the provisions in Section 3 hereof, which shall become effective as of the date hereof), on the date when each of the following conditions are satisfied or waived in accordance with Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement (such date, the “Amendment Effective Date”):

Section 4.1. Administrative Agent shall have received from the Lenders counterparts (in such number as may be requested by Administrative Agent) of this Amendment signed on behalf of such Persons.

Section 4.2. The Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender an upfront fee equal to sixty (60) basis points of the difference between (a) such Lender’s pro rata portion of the Borrowing Base after giving effect to this Amendment minus (b) such Lender’s pro rata portion of the Borrowing Base immediately prior to giving effect to this Amendment.

Section 4.3. After giving effect to this Amendment, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the Amendment Effective Date.

Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed to declare this Amendment to be effective (and the Amendment Effective Date shall occur) when it has received documents confirming or certifying, to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent, compliance with the conditions set forth in this Section 3 or the waiver of such conditions as permitted in Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement. Such declaration shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties to the Credit Agreement for all purposes.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

Section 5.1. Confirmation. The provisions of the Credit Agreement, as amended and modified by this Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect following the Amendment Effective Date.

Section 5.3. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Lenders that (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (b) no event or events have occurred which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) all representations and warranties made by any Credit Party contained in the Credit Agreement or in the other Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation or warranty contains a materiality qualifier in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the Amendment Effective Date (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation or warranty contains a materiality qualifier in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date).

Section 5.4. Credit Document. This Amendment is a Credit Document and shall be construed, administered and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement. On and after the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference in each Credit Document to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended or otherwise modified by this Amendment.

Section 5.5. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts, and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 5.9. Severability. Any provision of this Amendment which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 5.10. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
