4. Increase of Borrowing Base. As of the Effective Date, the Borrowing Base is hereby increased from $85,000,000 to $90,000,000. The parties hereto agree that the foregoing redetermination of the Borrowing Base constitutes the June 1, 2018 Scheduled Redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Credit Agreement. The Borrowing Base, as increased hereby, shall remain in effect until next redetermined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.07 of the Credit Agreement.

5. Limited Waiver. Borrower was not in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.20 of the Credit Agreement regarding Swap Agreements for the period ending June 30, 2018. Such noncompliance is an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement (the “Subject Event of Default”). Subject to the provisions of this Amendment, the Lenders waive the Subject Event of Default. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 5, nothing in this Amendment is intended to affect the continuing obligations of the Loan Parties to comply with, or the continuing rights of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent with respect to, any provision of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

6. Certain Representations. The Borrower represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date: (a) the Borrower has full power and authority to execute the Modification Papers to which it is a party and such Modification Papers constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (b) no authorization, approval, consent or other action by, notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower thereof; and (c) no Default has occurred and is continuing or will result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment. In addition, the Borrower represents that after giving effect to the Modification Papers, all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (provided that any such representations or warranties that are, by their terms, already qualified by reference to materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct without regard to such additional materiality qualification) on and as of the Effective Date as if made on and as of such date, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty is true and correct in all material respects (or true and correct without regard to such additional materiality qualification, as applicable) as of such earlier date.

7. No Further Amendments. Except as previously amended or waived in writing or as amended or waived hereby, the Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged and all provisions shall remain fully effective between the parties thereto.

8. Acknowledgments and Agreements. The Borrower acknowledges that on the date hereof all outstanding Secured Obligations are payable in accordance with their terms, and the Borrower waives any defense, offset, counterclaim or recoupment with respect thereto. Each of the Borrower, the

Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders does hereby adopt, ratify and confirm the Credit Agreement and acknowledges and agrees that the Credit Agreement is and remains in full force and effect. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that its liabilities and obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are not impaired in any respect by this Amendment.

9. Limitation on Agreements. The modifications set forth herein are limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed (a) to be a consent under or a waiver of or an amendment to any other term or condition in the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (b) to prejudice any other right or rights that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any of the other documents referred to herein or therein. The Modification Papers shall constitute Loan Documents for all purposes.

10. Confirmation of Security. The Borrower hereby confirms and agrees that all of the Security Instruments that presently secure the Secured Obligations shall continue to secure, in the same manner and to the same extent provided therein, the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations as described in the Credit Agreement.

11. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which constitute one instrument. In making proof of this Amendment, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one counterpart thereof signed by each of the parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic means shall be deemed effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

12. Incorporation of Certain Provisions by Reference. The provisions of Section 12.09 of the Credit Agreement captioned “Governing Law, Jurisdiction, Consent to Service of Process” is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

13. Release. To induce the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders to agree to the terms hereof, Borrower represents and warrants that as of the Effective Date, there are no claims or offsets or defenses or counterclaims to Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents, and in accordance therewith Borrower:

(a) waives any and all such claims, offsets, defenses or counterclaims, whether known or unknown, arising under the Loan Documents prior to the Effective Date; and

(b) releases and discharges each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and their respective Related Parties (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all obligations, indebtedness, liabilities, claims, rights, causes of action or other demands whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, in law or equity, which Borrower ever had, now has or claims to have or may have against any Released Party arising prior to the Effective Date and from or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

14. Entirety, Etc. This Amendment, the other Modification Papers and all of the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement among the parties. THIS AMENDMENT, THE OTHER MODIFICATION PAPERS AND ALL OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.
