The parties to this Amendment agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the meanings provided in the Credit Agreement.

2. Amendments to Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is amended as follows:

(a) The definitions of “Qualified Counterparty” and “Qualified Hedging Agreement”, respectively, are amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

“Qualified Counterparty” means with respect to any Hedging Agreement, each Person party to the Collateral Agency Agreement that is either (a) on the date that such Person enters into the related Hedging Agreement, the agent or any lender under this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates, (b) each of Macquarie Bank Limited, Mercuria Energy America, LLC and each of their respective Affiliates, (c) an Existing Hedge Party, but solely with respect to the Hedging Agreements in effect on the Closing Date, or (d) any other Person approved from time to time by the Agent.

“Qualified Hedging Agreement” means a Hedging Agreement entered into by Borrower or any Guarantor and any Qualified Counterparty.

(b) The references to the dollar amount “$825,000,000” in Section 6.2(b) and Section 9.1(a)(vii) of the Credit Agreement are each amended to refer to “$880,000,000.”

3. Redetermination of Borrowing Base. As of the Effective Date, the amount of the Borrowing Base is reaffirmed at $75,000,000.00, which Borrowing Base will remain in effect until otherwise redetermined in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

4. Effect of this Amendment. This Amendment is not, and should not be deemed to be, a waiver of, amendment to, consent to or modification of any other term or provision of the Loan Documents, or of any event, condition, or transaction on the part of any Loan Party or any other Person, in each case except as specifically set forth in this Amendment.

5. Conditions. This Amendment (other than Section 10 below, which is effective immediately upon execution and delivery) will be effective as of the Effective Date, but only upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(a) The Agent’s receipt of original or facsimile or portable document format (PDF) copies (followed promptly by originals) of each of the following, each properly executed, each dated as of the Effective Date (or, in the case of certificates of governmental officials, a recent date before the date of the Amendment) and each in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and its legal counsel:

(i) this Amendment;

(ii) certificates of resolutions or other action, incumbency certificates and/or other certificate(s) signed by an officer of any Loan Party that is other than a natural person, as required by the Agent, to evidence the identity, authority and capacity of the signatory(ies) to this Amendment and the other Loan Documents; and

(b) If required by Agent, the payment by Borrower of all amounts described in Section 9. The Agent’s declination to require Borrower to pay all or a portion of these amounts as a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment will not excuse Borrower’s obligation to do so immediately upon the Agent’s demand.
