1) | Amendments. Section 2.02(c) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the sixth sentence thereof and inserting in its place the following: |
If the Company agrees to acquire additional Deepwater GOM Assets prior to an Initial Public Offering under this Section 2.02(c), then each of the holders of Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (the Common Stockholders) and Preferred Stockholders shall contribute its proportionate share (determined on an as-converted basis) of any capital necessary to fund such acquisition through the purchase from the Company of additional shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $20.00 per share; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.08, any or all of MTP Energy Master Fund Ltd., MTP Energy Opportunities Fund I LLC, MTP Opportunity Fund, LLC, Triangle Peak Partners Private Equity, LP and Hipparchus Fund LP (each, together with its Affiliates, a Magnetar Fund) or FSEP Term Funding, LLC, FS Investment Corporation, and Locust Street Funding LLC (each, together with its Affiliates, a GSO Fund), may assign, in whole or in part (including without limitation an assignment limited to a particular offer under this Section 2.02(c)), its rights and (to the extent related to such assigned rights) obligations under this Section 2.02(c), in their capacity as holders of Preferred Stock, to acquire additional shares of

2) | Miscellaneous. The provisions of Sections 3.01 (Counterparts), 3.03 (Governing Law) and 3.04 (Waiver of Jury Trial) of the Stockholders Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to this Second Amendment. |
