The Borrower and the Guarantors are parties to that certain Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2016 made by the Borrower and each of the other Grantors party thereto in favor of the Administrative Agent (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Guaranty Agreement”).

C. The Borrower has requested and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party hereto have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Sixth Amendment.

D. NOW, THEREFORE, to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Sixth Amendment and in consideration of the promises 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 used herein but not otherwise defined herein has the meaning given such term in the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Sixth Amendment. Unless otherwise indicated, all section references in this Sixth Amendment refer to sections of the Credit Agreement.

Section 2. Amendments to Credit Agreement.

2.1 Amendments to Section 1.02 – Certain Defined Terms.

(a) Each of the following definitions is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Agreement” means this Credit Agreement, including any schedules and exhibits hereto, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment and the Sixth

Amendment, and as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated.

“Applicable Margin” means, for any day, with respect to any ABR Loan or Eurodollar Loan, or with respect to the Commitment Fee Rate, as the case may be, the rate per annum set forth in the Borrowing Base Utilization Grid below based upon the Borrowing Base Utilization Percentage then in effect:



Borrowing Base Utilization Grid
	<25%	≥25%, but <50%	≥50%, but <75%	≥75%, but <90%	≥90%
ABR Loans	0.250%	0.500%	0.750%	1.000%	1.250%
Eurodollar Loans	1.250%	1.500%	1.750%	2.000%	2.250%

For the avoidance of doubt, any lease that would be characterized as an operating lease in accordance with GAAP on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date (whether or not such operating lease was in effect on such date) shall continue to be accounted for as an operating lease (and not as a Capital Lease) for purposes of this Agreement regardless of any change in GAAP (whether or not such change in GAAP is contemplated as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date) following the Sixth Amendment Effective Date that would otherwise require such lease to be re-characterized (on a prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) as a Capital Lease.
