To the Holder(s) named in

Schedule A hereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Third Supplement to Note Purchase Agreement (this “Third Supplement”) is among Energy & Exploration Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), the Guarantors (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement described below), Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as the administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and the Holders named on Schedule A attached hereto.

Reference is hereby made to the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of April 8, 2013 (as supplemented by the First Supplement, dated as of December 12, 2013, and by the Second Supplement, dated as of January 31, 2014 and as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Purchase Agreement”) among the Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Holders signatory thereto. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as specified in the Note Purchase Agreement. Reference is further made to Section 2.1(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement which requires that, prior to the issuance of any Supplemental Notes, the Issuer and each Holder named on Schedule A attached hereto shall execute and deliver a Supplement.

The Issuer hereby agrees with the Holder(s) as follows:

1)	*Terms of Tranche D Notes*.

Issuance and Sale of Tranche D Notes.

The Issuer has authorized the issue and sale of $60,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Tranche D Notes (the “Tranche D Notes”). The Tranche D Notes are “Supplemental Notes” and “Notes” (as such terms are defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), with such distinctions as may be applicable set forth in Section 1(a) below. The Tranche D Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit A hereto. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement and on the basis of the representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, the Issuer agrees to issue and sell to each Holder, and each Holder agrees to purchase from the Issuer, Tranche D Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Holder’s Tranche D Pro Rata Share, as set forth on Appendix A hereto, of $45,000,000 at a price of 96% of the principal amount thereof on the Third Supplement Closing Date (the “Initial Tranche D Notes”).

ii)

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, during the period following the Third Supplement Closing Date but prior to September 30, 2014, the Holders may, at their option by giving not less than 2 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, purchase additional Tranche D Notes from the Issuer (in each case, so long as all conditions set forth in Section 4 shall have been satisfied) in accordance with their respective Tranche D Pro Rata Shares, as set forth on Appendix A hereto, in an aggregate principal amount equal to $15,000,000 at a price of 96% of the principal amount thereof (the “Additional Tranche D Notes”); provided that the aggregate amount of Tranche D Notes purchased on the Additional Tranche D Note Purchase Date shall be no less than $15,000,000.

Interest.

Each Initial Tranche D Note shall:

(1)

from the Third Supplement Closing Date until the date four (4) years after the Third Supplement Closing Date bear interest at a rate equal to fifteen percent (15.00%) per annum; and

(2)

from the date four (4) years after the Third Supplement Closing Date until the Tranche D Maturity Date bear interest at a rate equal to twenty percent (20.00%) per annum;

ii)

Each Additional Tranche D Note shall:

(1)

from the Additional Tranche D Note Purchase Date until the date four (4) years after the Additional Tranche D Note Purchase Date bear interest at a rate equal to fifteen percent (15.00%) per annum; and

(2)

from the date four (4) years after the Additional Tranche D Note Purchase Date until the Additional Tranche D Maturity Date bear interest at a rate equal to twenty percent (20.00%) per annum;

in each case, as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 2.6(c) of the Note Purchase Agreement, which shall be due and payable in cash (“Tranche D Interest”).

Tranche D Maturity Date. The Tranche D Notes shall mature (i) with respect to the Initial Tranche D Notes, on that date that is the earlier of (A) March 27, 2019, and (B) the date that all Notes shall become due and payable in full under the Note Purchase Agreement and hereunder, whether by acceleration or otherwise (the “Initial Tranche D Maturity Date”) and (ii) with respect to the Additional Tranche D Notes, if any, on the date that is the earlier of (A) the date that is five (5) years following the Additional Tranche D Note Purchase Date and (B) the date that all Notes shall become due and payable in full under the Note Purchase Agreement and hereunder, whether by acceleration or otherwise (the “Additional Tranche D Maturity Date”, together with Initial Tranche D Maturity Date, as applicable, the “Tranche D Maturity Date”).

Prepayments. Each Tranche D Note shall be subject to the repayment and prepayment provisions of Section 2.7, Section 2.8, and Section 2.9 of the Note Purchase Agreement.

Tranche D Make Whole Amount.

If, on or prior to September 26, 2016 (the “Tranche D Make-Whole Expiry Date”), the Issuer prepays, for any reason other than as a result of an Insolvency Event, whether as a result of an acceleration (or deemed acceleration) following an Event of Default or otherwise, all or any part of the principal balance of any Tranche D Note, then the Issuer shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of all Holders, in addition to the amount so prepaid, an amount equal to the present value at such time, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, of the amount of interest which would have been payable on the principal balance of the Note being prepaid from the date of prepayment through the Tranche D Make-Whole Expiry Date, such amount to be paid to be calculated by the Issuer and confirmed by the Lead Investor.

ii)

If, on or prior to the Tranche D Make-Whole Expiry Date, the Issuer prepays, as a result of an Insolvency Event, all or any part of the principal balance of any Tranche D Note, then the Issuer shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of all Holders, in addition to the amount so prepaid, an amount equal to the present value at such time, computed using a discount rate equal to the Tranche D Interest then in effect minus the Treasury Rate, of the amount of interest which would have been payable on the principal balance of the Note being prepaid from the date of repayment through the Tranche D Make-Whole Expiry Date (such amount to be calculated by the Issuer).

iii)

The amount described in clause (i) of this Section 1(e), or clause (ii) of this Section 1(e), as applicable, shall be referred to as the “Tranche D Make-Whole Amount”.

Tranche D Repayment Premium.

If, on or prior to the date that is thirty-six (36) calendar months following the Third Supplement Closing Date, the Issuer makes any repayment of the Tranche D Notes, whether such repayment occurs as a result of an acceleration (whether automatic or optional acceleration) following an Event of Default or otherwise, then the Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of all Holders, in addition to the amount so repaid, an amount equal to three percent (3%) (herein referred to as the “Tranche D Repayment Premium”), of the principal amount so repaid, together with amounts owing pursuant to Section 1(b).

ii)

Any payment required pursuant to this Section 1(f) is in addition to, and not a replacement of any amount paid pursuant to Section 1(b) or Section 1(e). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 1(f) is for the benefit of the Holders only (and the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Holders) and is not intended to be the sole remedy for the Issuer’s breach of Section 1(d) with respect to Section 2.8 of the Note Purchase Agreement.

Closing. The sale and purchase of the Initial Tranche D Notes shall occur on March 27, 2014 or on such other Business Day thereafter that all conditions set forth in Section 3 below have been satisfied or waived (the “Third Supplement Closing Date”). On the Third Supplement Closing Date, the Issuer will deliver to each Holder the Initial Tranche D Notes to be purchased by such Holder in the form of a single Tranche D Note dated as of the Third Supplement Closing Date and registered in such Holder’s name, against delivery by such Holder to the Issuer of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Issuer to account number 650046124, ABA # 114000093 at Frost National Bank, 777 Main Street, Suite 500, Fort Worth, TX 76102. If, on the Third Supplement Closing Date, the Issuer shall fail to tender such Tranche D Notes to any Holder as provided above in this Section 2, or any of the conditions specified in Section 3 shall not have been fulfilled to any Holder’s satisfaction or otherwise waived by the Holders, such Holder shall, at such Holder’s election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Third Supplement, without thereby waiving any rights such Holder may have by reason of such failure or such nonfulfillment.

Conditions Precedent to Initial Tranche D Notes Purchase. The obligation of each Holder to purchase and pay for the Initial Tranche D Notes to be sold to such Holder on the Third Supplement Closing Date is subject to the fulfillment to such Holder’s satisfaction (unless otherwise waived by the Holders), prior to or contemporaneous with the Third Supplement Closing Date, of the following conditions:

The Administrative Agent and the Holders shall have received sufficient copies of this Third Supplement executed by each Note Party, the Administrative Agent, and each Holder.

Each Holder shall have received a Tranche D Note in the form of Exhibit A hereto, dated as of the Third Supplement Closing Date and registered in such Holder’s name.

The Issuer shall have delivered to the Lead Investor an originally executed Third Supplement Closing Date Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, together with all attachments thereto.

The Administrative Agent, the Holders and their respective counsel shall have each received executed copies of the favorable written opinion of Bracewell & Giuliani, LLP, special counsel for the Note Parties, dated as of the Third Supplement Closing Date and covering such matters as the Lead Investor may reasonably request and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Investor (and each Note Party hereby instructs such counsel to deliver such opinions to the Administrative Agent and the Holders).

The Issuer shall have paid all fees and expenses payable by it pursuant to the terms of Section 10.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement as of the Third Supplement Closing Date.

The Administrative Agent and the Holders shall have received a Note Purchase Notice in the form of Exhibit A to the Note Purchase Agreement, as of Third Supplement Closing Date.

Conditions Precedent to Additional Tranche D Notes Purchase. At the written request of the Issuer in accordance with Section 1(a)(ii) hereof, each Holder may, at its option, purchase and pay for the Additional Tranche D Notes to be sold to such Holder on any date following the Third Supplement

Closing Date (the “Additional Tranche D Note Purchase Date”), which purchase is subject to the fulfillment to such Holder’s satisfaction (unless otherwise waived by the Holders), prior to or contemporaneous with the Additional Tranche D Note Purchase Date, of the following conditions:

The representations and warranties of the Issuer set forth in Note Purchase Agreement and this Third Supplement shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Additional Tranche D Note Purchase Date, except to the extent any representation or warranty set forth in this Third Supplement contains qualifiers such as “material”, “in all material respects,” “except as could not reasonably be expected to result in, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifying language or similar qualifiers, then such representation or warranty shall be true and correct as of such date (unless such representations and warranties are stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date).

At the time of and immediately after giving effect to the issuance of such Additional Tranche D Notes, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) Cash Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company, at the Company’s principal offices at the address set forth in Section 17.2(b) or at such other office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 13; the following: (i) a written notice of Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant specifying the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be purchased, (ii) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which the Warrant is being exercised; and (iii) this Warrant or the evidence and indemnity required by Section 12. Such notice shall be substantially in the form of the Subscription Form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A, duly executed by Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon receipt thereof, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, execute or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder a certificate reflecting Holder’s ownership of the aggregate number Shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a Share of Series A Preferred Stock, as hereinafter provided in Section 2.3. The Company shall update its records to reflect ownership of such Shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the name of Holder or such other name as shall be designated in the notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for all purposes, as of the date the notice, together with payment of the aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant, is received by the Company as described above and all taxes required to be paid by Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2.2 prior to the issuance of such Shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been paid. If this Warrant has been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate representing the Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or, at the request of Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to Holder. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made at the option of Holder by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

- 6 -

(i) In lieu of the payment of the Exercise Price, Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation), to require the Company to convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into Shares of Series A Preferred Stock as provided for in this Section 2.1(c) (the “Conversion Right”). Upon exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall deliver to Holder (without payment by Holder of any of the Exercise Price) that number of Warrant Shares (the “Conversion Shares”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the value of this Warrant (or portion thereof as to which the Conversion Right is being exercised if the Conversion Right is being exercised in part) at the time the Conversion Right is exercised (determined by subtracting the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares as to which the Conversion Right is being exercised in effect immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right from the aggregate Current Market Price of the Warrant Shares as to which the Conversion Right is being exercised immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right) by (y) the Current Market Price of one (1) Share of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right.

(ii) The Conversion Rights provided under this Section 2.1(c) may be exercised in whole or in part and at any time and from time to time while this Warrant remains outstanding. In order to exercise the Conversion Right, Holder shall surrender to the Company, at the Company’s offices, this Warrant (or the evidence and indemnity required by Section 12) and the Notice of Conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C duly executed. The presentation and surrender shall be deemed a waiver of Holder’s obligation to pay all or any portion of the aggregate purchase price payable for the Warrant Shares as to which such Conversion Right is being exercised. This Warrant (or so much thereof as shall have been surrendered for conversion) shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day of surrender of such Warrant for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If this Warrant has been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the acknowledgement reflecting the ownership of the Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or, at the request of Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to Holder.

(d) Conversion Upon Qualified Initial Public Offering. Upon the consummation of a Qualified Initial Public Offering of the Company, the Holder shall be deemed to have exercised this Warrant in full, without payment of the Exercise Price therefor, for a number of Shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the number of Shares of Common Stock into which the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been converted upon consummation of the Qualified Initial Public Offering if such Shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Qualified Initial Public Offering minus (ii) a number of Shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (A) the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of the Qualified Initial Public Offering by (B) the public offering price per Share of Common Stock in the Qualified Initial Public Offering. As promptly as practicable after the consummation of the Qualified

- 7 -

Initial Public Offering, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall execute or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder a certificate reflecting Holder’s ownership of the aggregate number Shares of Common Stock issuable upon such deemed exercise of this Warrant, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a Share of Common Stock, as hereinafter provided in Section 2.3. The Company shall update its records to reflect ownership of such Shares of Common Stock in the name of Holder. Such Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Shares of Common Stock for all purposes, as of the date of the consummation of the Qualified Initial Public Offering.

2.2. Payment of Taxes. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all transfer, stamp or similar Taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery thereof, unless such Tax or charge is imposed by law upon Holder, in which case, Holder shall pay such Taxes or charges. The Company shall not be required to pay any Tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer upon exercise of this Warrant resulting in any Warrant Shares being registered in any name other than that of Holder, and in such case, the Company shall not be required to register such Warrant Shares in any name other than Holder until such Tax or other charge has been paid or it has been established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that no such Tax or other charge is due.

2.3. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional Share of Series A Preferred Stock of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a Share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Current Market Price per Share of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock on the date of exercise, which Current Market Price per Share, in the case of the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 2.1(d), shall be the public offering price per Share of Common Stock in the Qualified Initial Public Offering.

(b) subdivides its outstanding Shares of Series A Preferred Stock into a larger number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock; or

- 9 -

4.2. Certain Other Distributions. If at any time the Company takes a record of holders of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any distribution of:

(b) any Options to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any assets or property, or any other securities of any nature whatsoever (other than Additional Shares), or

then (i) the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per Share at the date of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price per Share of Series A Preferred Stock plus the amount of consideration, if any, paid by the holder of one Share of Series A Preferred Stock for such indebtedness, assets, Shares, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable, minus the amount allocable to one Share of Series A Preferred Stock of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board and supported by an opinion from an Independent Financial Expert) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, assets, Shares, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable; provided that in the event that the denominator is calculated to be less than 0.01, the denominator shall be deemed to be 0.01 for purposes of this Section 4.2, and (ii) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Shares of any other class of equity shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to holders of its Shares of such Shares or Shares of such other class of equity within the meaning of this Section 4.2 and, if the outstanding Shares shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of Shares as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding Shares within the meaning of Section 4.1.

(c) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Shares shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/10th of a Share.

(d) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company takes a record of holders of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock or other property for which an adjustment is required under this Section 4 and, thereafter and before the distribution to holders thereof, legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such distribution, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

5. NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS

5.1. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, or whenever the price at which such Shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants, is adjusted pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall prepare a certificate to be executed by the Board, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board determined the fair market value of any evidences of indebtedness, Shares or stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights referred to in Section 4.2), specifying the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and describing the number and kind of any other Shares or other property for which this Warrant is exercisable, and any change in the purchase price or prices thereof, after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Company shall promptly cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to each Holder in accordance with Section 17.2. The Company shall keep at its office or agency designated pursuant to Section 13 copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours by any Holder

(b) there is any proposed capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another Person; or

distribution or right, the date on which holders of Shares shall be entitled to any such distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which holders of Shares shall be entitled to exchange their Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice shall be deemed sufficiently given if addressed to Holder at the last address of Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section 17.2.

6. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not, and will not permit or cause any of its subsidiaries to, by any action, including, without limitation, through any amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, the Stockholders Agreement, through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, directly or indirectly avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant or impair or diminish the value of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue Series A Preferred Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (b) use its reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

7. RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF SHARES. From and after the Third Supplement Closing Date, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued Shares of Series A Preferred Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. All Shares of Series A Preferred Stock, when issued upon exercise of this Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights. Before taking any action that would result in an adjustment in the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof. If any Shares of Series A Preferred Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of Warrants require registration or qualification with any governmental authority or other governmental approval or filing under any federal or state law before such Shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be so issued, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible and at its expense endeavor to cause such Shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be duly registered or qualified. The Company agrees that it will not reduce the par value of the Series A Preferred Stock.

8. TAKING OF RECORD; SHARES AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS. In the case of all distributions by the Company to holders of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, close its transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.

9.1. Tax Status. The Company will maintain its status as an entity classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

9.2. Treatment of Warrant. The Company and the Holder intend to treat the Warrants as Shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrant for Shares of Series A Preferred Stock as a nonevent for U.S. federal and applicable state and local Tax purposes.

9.3. Withholding. If the Company determines that U.S. federal withholding of Tax with respect to the Warrants or the Warrant Shares held by any Holder is necessary, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify such Holder reasonably in advance of such withholding, and provide such Holder with a reasonable opportunity to establish an exemption or other basis for reducing or eliminating such U.S. federal withholding Tax. The Company shall cooperate with each Holder, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide each Holder with information that any such Holder may request, in connection with such Holder’s Tax reporting and U.S. federal withholding Tax obligations relating to the Warrants and the Warrant Shares, including, with respect to each distribution payable on the Warrant Shares (whether in cash or in kind) or deemed distributed on the Warrant or Warrant Shares, providing such Holder with a contemporaneous reasonable estimate as to the amount of any such dividend that is expected to be treated as a dividend pursuant to section 301(c)(1) of the Code.

Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant will have restrictions upon resale as imposed by federal and state securities laws and the terms and conditions of this Warrant. Each Share certificate, if any, representing Warrant Shares shall bear the following legends:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD, UNLESS IT HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE (AND, IN SUCH CASE, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY MAY BE REQUIRED BY THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH OFFER OR SALE IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT). THIS SECURITY MAY BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF APRIL 8, 2013 (AS MAY BE AMENDED OR RESTATED FROM TIME TO TIME), A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES.

(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the Holder of such Warrant has a minimum net worth of at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000), such Holder’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant, dated the date of the original Warrant.

13. OFFICE OF THE COMPANY. As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices of the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; NO RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Holder to purchase Shares, and no enumeration of the rights or privileges of Holder contained herein, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Shares or as a holder of Shares of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of Company. Except as provided for in Certificate of Incorporation and the Stockholders Agreement, this Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.
