Commitment Letter
Ladies and Gentlemen
Oasis Petroleum Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “you”), has advised JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), Well Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”, and collectively with JPMCB, Wells Fargo and any Additional Commitment Party (as defined below), the “Commitment Parties”, “we” or “us”) that the Company (a) intends, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oasis Petroleum North America LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), to acquire (the “Acquisition”), from Diamondback Energy, Inc. (the “Seller”), certain assets located in the Williston Basin defined in the Acquisition Agreement (as defined on Annex I) as the “Assets” (the “Acquired Assets”) and (b) seeks to consummate the other Transactions described in the Transaction Description attached hereto as Annex I (the “Transaction Description”), including the financing of the Acquisition and payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith as set forth in the Transaction Description.
Annexes II and III hereto are referred to as the “Summary of Terms”; and the Summary of Terms, together with this letter and the Transaction Description are referred to as the “Commitment Letter”. The date of consummation of the Acquisition and funding of the Bridge Loans referred to herein as the “Closing Date”. You agree that, unless the context otherwise requires, each reference herein to “you”, and any provision hereof applicable to you shall apply to the Company and Buyer, as applicable, and the Company agrees to cause Buyer to comply with the terms of this Commitment Letter as if it were a party hereto. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as specified in the Transaction Description and, if not defined therein, the Summary of Terms.
1.    Commitments, Roles and Titles. In connection with the foregoing, JPMCB and Wells Fargo are pleased to advise you of their several, but not joint, commitments to provide 60% and 40%, respectively, of the Bridge Facility (as defined in Annex II-A) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $500.0 million (the “Commitments”) (the Commitment Parties, in such capacity, the “Initial Lenders”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Summary of Terms.
You hereby appoint JPMCB and WFS to act as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (in such capacity, the “Lead Arrangers”) for the Bridge Facility; provided that JPMCB may perform any of its responsibilities as Lead Arranger through its affiliate, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC. You hereby appoint JPMCB, to act as administrative agent for the Bridge Facility (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). It is further agreed that (a) JPMCB shall have “left” placement in any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Bridge Facility and (b) WFS



shall appear to the immediate right of JPMCB in any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Bridge Facility.
On or prior to the date that is seven business days from the date hereof, you may, subject to the consent of JPMCB, Wells Fargo and WFS and the execution of customary joinder documentation reasonably acceptable to us and you, appoint additional financial institutions as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (any such financial institution, an “Additional Commitment Party”). Such Additional Commitment Parties, collectively, shall commit to provide no more than 50% of the aggregate commitments in respect of the Bridge Facility (with up to corresponding compensatory economics for providing such commitments), and the commitments of the Initial Lenders as of the date hereof shall be ratably reduced by the amount of the commitments so provided by such Additional Commitment Parties; provided that no Additional Commitment Party shall be awarded economics in excess of the economics awarded to JPMCB or Wells Fargo (or their affiliates), respectively. Upon execution of such joinder documentation, each Additional Commitment Party shall be deemed to be an “Initial Lender” and “Commitment Party” hereunder as if such Additional Commitment Party had been an original signatory hereto in such capacities.
Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, you agree that no other agents, co-agents, arrangers, bookrunners, managers or co-managers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than compensation expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters referred to below) will be paid to any Lender (as defined below) for the purpose of obtaining its commitment to participate in the Bridge Facility unless you and we shall so agree. No Commitment Party is responsible for the performance of the obligations of any other Commitment Party, and the failure of a Commitment Party to perform its obligations hereunder will not prejudice the rights of any other Commitment Party hereunder.
2.    Syndication. Promptly after your acceptance of the terms of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters, the Lead Arrangers intend to commence syndication of the Bridge Facility (the “Syndication”) to a group of lenders identified by us in consultation with you and reasonably acceptable to you (the “Lenders”); provided that in no event will you syndicate the Bridge Facility to any person that is reasonably determined by the Company to be a direct competitor of the Company and its subsidiaries (or an affiliate thereof that is clearly identifiable solely on the basis of the similarity of its name and is not a bona fide debt investment fund) that is identified in writing by you on a list delivered to the Lead Arrangers prior to the date hereof (or supplemented thereafter prior to the Closing Date, but subject to the last paragraph of this Section 2) (any such person, a “Disqualified Lender” and such list, the “Disqualified Lender List”). You agree, prior to the earlier of (x) sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing Date and (y) the date on which a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Bridge Fee Letter) of the Bridge Facility (to the extent funded on the Closing Date) is achieved (the earlier of such dates, the “Syndication Date”), to, and to use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Seller to, actively assist us in achieving a Successful Syndication of the Bridge Facility. Such assistance shall include (a) you and your subsidiaries providing and using your commercially reasonable efforts to cause your advisors and (to the extent practical and in all instances not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement) the Seller and its advisors to provide the Lead Arrangers upon reasonable request with all information that is reasonably deemed necessary by the Lead Arrangers to arrange the Bridge Facility and complete such Syndication, including, but not limited to (i) information and evaluations prepared by you, the Seller and your and its advisors, or on your or its behalf, relating to the Transactions as may be reasonably requested by us (including the Projections (as hereinafter defined)) and (ii) on or prior to the date of execution hereof, customary forecasts prepared by your management of balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements for each of the four fiscal quarters ending after the Closing Date and for the fiscal years 2022 and 2023; (b) your assistance in the preparation of a customary information

memorandum with respect to the Bridge Facility (the “Information Memorandum”) and other customary marketing materials to be used in connection with the Syndication of the Bridge Facility (collectively with the Summary of Terms and any additional summary of terms prepared for distribution to the Lenders, the “Information Materials”); (c) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts of the Lead Arrangers benefit materially from your existing lending relationships; (d) your using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable following the date of this Commitment Letter, monitored public corporate credit or family ratings (but no specific rating) for the Company after giving effect to the Transactions and ratings of the Notes, as applicable, from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) (collectively, the “Ratings”); (e) until the Syndication Date, your ensuring that the Company shall not syndicate or issue or announce the syndication or issuance of, any competing debt credit facilities or debt securities of the Company (other than (i) the Bridge Facility, (ii) the Senior Notes, other Securities (each as defined in Annex I and including any Debt Securities (as defined in the Bridge Fee Letter) or Term Loans (as defined in the Bridge Fee Letter), (iii) indebtedness of you and any of your subsidiaries incurred under the RBL Facility (as defined in Annex II-A) and any amendments to the RBL Facility in connection with the satisfaction of the condition set forth in paragraph (xvii) of Annex III and (iv) any capital lease, purchase money debt and equipment financings in the ordinary course of business); and (f) you otherwise assisting the Lead Arrangers in their syndication efforts, including by making appropriate senior officers and advisors of the Company, and using your commercially reasonable efforts (to the extent practical and in all instances not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement) to make the appropriate senior officers and advisors of the Seller, available from time to time upon reasonable advance notice to attend and make presentations regarding the business and prospects of the Company and the Transactions or the Acquired Assets, as applicable, at one or more meetings (which may be by conference call or virtually) of prospective Lenders at times and locations to be mutually agreed. Without limiting your obligations to assist with Syndication efforts as set forth in this section, it is agreed that (1) none of the foregoing, nor the Syndication of, or receipt of commitments or participations or consents or assignments in respect of, all or any portion of the Initial Lenders’ commitment hereunder, including prior to the date of the consummation of the Acquisition and the date of the initial funding under the Bridge Facility, shall be a condition to the Initial Lenders’ commitments, (2) except as you agree, no Initial Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder in connection with any assignment or participation of the Bridge Facility, including its commitments in respect thereof, until after the date of the initial funding under the Bridge Facility, (3) except as you and the Initial Lenders agree, the Initial Lenders shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to their commitments in respect of the Bridge Facility, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the date of the initial funding under the Bridge Facility and (4) the only financial statements or projections the delivery of which are conditions to the initial funding under the Bridge Facility shall be those set forth on Annex III. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Initial Lender reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to assign its commitment(s) to any of its affiliates, and any office or branch of any of its affiliates, as it deems appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
In connection with the requirements set forth in the foregoing paragraph, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would cause the loss of any attorney-client privilege applicable to you, the Seller or any affiliates of you or the Seller, or violate any law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality to a third party (not created in contemplation hereof) binding on you, the Seller or your or its respective affiliates (provided that, in the event that you do not provide information in reliance on the exclusions in this sentence, you shall provide notice to us that such information is being withheld and use your commercially reasonable efforts to communicate, to the extent both feasible and permitted under applicable law, rule, regulation or confidentiality obligation, or without waiving such privilege, as applicable, the applicable information).

It is understood and agreed that the Lead Arrangers will manage and control all aspects of the syndication of the Bridge Facility in consultation with you, including when Lenders will be approached, titles offered to prospective Lenders, when commitments will be accepted and the final allocations of the commitments among the Lenders.
You hereby authorize the Lead Arrangers to download copies of the Company’s trademark logos from its website and post copies thereof and any Information Materials to a deal site on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Lead Arrangers to be their electronic transmission system (an “Electronic Platform”) established by the Lead Arrangers to syndicate the Bridge Facility, and to use the Company’s trademark logos on any confidential information memoranda, presentations and other marketing materials prepared in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility or, with your consent (which consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in any advertisements that we may place after the Closing Date in financial and other newspapers, journals, the World Wide Web, home page or otherwise, at our own expense describing our services to the Company hereunder; provided that such trademark logos shall not be used in a manner intended to disparage or harm the goodwill or reputation of the Company. You also understand and acknowledge that we may provide to market data collectors, such as league table, or other service providers to the lending industry, information regarding the closing date, size, type, purpose of, and parties to, the Bridge Facility.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Disqualified Lender List may not be supplemented (x) on or after the date hereof through the date that is seven business days after the date hereof and/or (y) on or after the date of the launch of any subsequent syndication of the Bridge Facility (it being understood that the Lead Arrangers shall give you three business days’ prior notice of the date of launch of such subsequent syndication) through and including the Syndication Date. Subject to the foregoing sentence, any supplement to the Disqualified Lender List shall become effective three business days after delivery to the Lead Arrangers (or, if the Bridge Facility is funded, the Administrative Agent), but such supplement shall not apply retroactively to disqualify any entities that have entered into a trade or previously acquired a commitment or a participation in the Bridge Facility in accordance with the terms of this Commitment Letter or the Bridge Credit Documentation. To be deemed received or effective, the Disqualified Lender List or any supplements thereto must be delivered to JPMDQ_Contact@jpmorgan.com.
3.    Information Requirements. You hereby represent and warrant (with respect to Information relating to the Acquired Assets or provided by the Seller, to your knowledge) that (a) all written factual information, other than Projections (as defined below) and other forward-looking information or information of a general economic or industry nature, that has been or is hereafter made available to the Commitment Parties by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives in connection with any aspect of the Transactions or any of the other transactions contemplated thereby (including, to your knowledge, such information relating to the Acquired Assets) (the “Information”), when taken as a whole after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto, does not and will not when furnished contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading and (b) all financial projections concerning the Company that have been or are hereafter made available to the Commitment Parties by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives (the “Projections”) have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time provided (it being understood and agreed that the Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts or a guarantee of financial performance or achievement, that the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, and that actual results may differ from the Projections and such differences may be material and
-4-



no assurances can be given that such Projections will be realized). You agree that if at any time prior to the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement, or cause to be supplemented (or in the case of Information or Projections relating to the Acquired Assets, you will promptly notify the Lead Arrangers upon becoming aware that any such Information or Projections are incorrect in any material respect and will use commercially reasonable efforts to supplement), the Information and Projections so that such representations (to your knowledge, in the case of the Acquired Assets) will be correct in all material respects at such time under those circumstances. In issuing this commitment and in arranging and syndicating the Bridge Facility, the Commitment Parties are and will be using and relying on the Information and the Projections without independent verification thereof.
You acknowledge that (a) the Lead Arrangers on your behalf will make available Information Materials to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Information Materials on an Electronic Platform and (b) certain prospective Lenders (such Lenders, “Public Lenders”; all other Lenders, “Private Lenders”) may have personnel that do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws or that would reasonably be expected to be included in an offering memorandum for an offering of high yield debt securities under Rule 144A concurrent with the Syndication of the Bridge Facility, “MNPI”) with respect to the Company, the Seller, their respective affiliates or any other entity, the Acquired Assets or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such entities’ securities. If requested by the Lead Arrangers, you will assist the Lead Arrangers in preparing an additional version of the Information Materials not containing MNPI (the “Public Information Materials”) to be distributed to prospective Public Lenders, and you agree that Information Materials made available to prospective Public Lenders in accordance with this Commitment Letter shall not contain MNPI. Before distribution of any Information Materials (a) to prospective Private Lenders, you shall provide the Lead Arrangers with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of the Information Materials and (b) to prospective Public Lenders, you shall provide the Lead Arrangers with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of the Public Information Materials and confirming the absence of MNPI therefrom. In addition, you hereby agree that (x) upon our reasonable request, you shall identify that portion of the Information Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders by clearly and conspicuously marking the same as “PUBLIC”; (y) all Information Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (z) the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent (and their respective affiliates) shall be entitled to treat any Information Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor”. You agree that the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent (and their respective affiliates) on your behalf may distribute the following documents to all prospective Lenders, unless you advise the Lead Arrangers and Administrative Agent in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions) that such material should only be distributed to prospective Private Lenders: (a) administrative materials for prospective Lenders such as lender meeting invitations and funding and closing memoranda, (b) notifications of changes to the terms of the Bridge Facility, (c) drafts and final versions of definitive documents with respect to the Bridge Facility and (d) historical financial statements of the Company that have been filed publicly. The Information Materials will be accompanied by a disclaimer exculpating you, and us with respect to any use thereof, and of any related marketing materials, by the recipients thereof. You acknowledge that each Commitment Party’s public-side employees and representatives who are publishing debt analysts may participate in any meetings held pursuant to Section 2; provided that such analysts shall not publish any information obtained from such meetings (i) until the Syndication of the Bridge Facility has been completed upon the making of allocations by the Lead Arrangers and the Lead Arrangers freeing the Bridge Facility to trade or (ii) in violation of any confidentiality agreement between
-5-

Such amounts shall be paid on the Closing Date (to the extent invoiced at least two business days prior to the Closing Date except as otherwise agreed by the Company) or, if this Commitment Letter is terminated as provided below, within 30 days following written request therefor. You agree to pay or cause to be paid the fees agreed between you and us, including those set forth in the Agent Fee Letter, addressed to you, dated the date hereof from JPMCB (the “Agent Fee Letter”) and the Bridge Fee Letter, addressed to you, dated the date hereof from the Commitment Parties (the “Bridge Fee Letter” and, collectively with the Agent Fee Letter, the “Fee Letters” and, each, a “Fee Letter”).

You agree, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to not assert any claims against any Commitment Party-Related Person with respect to any of the foregoing. As used herein, the term “Liabilities” shall mean any losses, claims (including intraparty claims), demands, damages or liabilities of any kind.
(b)    Indemnity.
You agree to (i) indemnify and hold harmless each of the Commitment Parties and their respective affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, and agents (each, and including, without limitation, JPMCB, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all Liabilities and related expenses, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, any Fee Letter, the Bridge Facility, the use of the
-6-



proceeds thereof, any related transaction or the activities performed or the commitments or services furnished pursuant to this Commitment Letter or the role of the Commitment Parties in connection therewith or in connection with any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation, arbitration or administrative, judicial or regulatory action or proceeding in any jurisdiction relating to any of the foregoing (including in relation to enforcing the terms of clause (a) above and the terms of this clause (b)) (each, a “Proceeding”), regardless of whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether or not such Proceeding is brought by you, your equity holders, affiliates, creditors or any other person and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal expenses of one firm of counsel for all such Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole and, if relevant, of a single local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, and, in the case of a conflict of interest, another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnified Person) and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing regardless of whether or not in connection with any pending or threatened Proceeding to which any Indemnified Person is a party, in each case as such expenses are incurred or paid; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to any Liabilities or related expenses to the extent (i) they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to primarily result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person in performing its activities or in furnishing its commitments or services under this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters or (ii) arising from disputes solely between and among Indemnified Persons not arising from any act or omission of the Company or any of its affiliates (other than claims against an Indemnified Person acting in its capacity as an agent or arranger or similar role under the Bridge Facility).
(c)    Settlement.
You shall not, without the prior written consent of the Commitment Parties and their respective affiliates, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by any Commitment Party unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Commitment Parties from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Commitment Party or any injunctive relief or other non-monetary remedy. You acknowledge that any failure to comply with your obligations under the preceding sentence may cause irreparable harm to the Commitment Parties and the other Indemnified Persons.

Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the Bridge Credit Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (a) the Bridge Credit Documentation shall be in a form such that the terms thereof do not impair availability of, and funding under, the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in Annex III are satisfied (or waived by the Initial Lenders) and (b) the only
-7-



representations and warranties the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date shall be the Acquisition Agreement Representations and the Specified Representations (each as defined in paragraph (xiv) of Annex III hereto).

Bridge Facility:    Senior secured second lien facility (the “Bridge Facility”, the loans thereunder, the “Bridge Loans”) in the principal amount of up to $500.0 million minus the amount of any applicable reduction to the commitments on or prior to the Closing Date as set forth under the heading titled “Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions” below. The Bridge Loans will be available to the Borrower in one drawing concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition. The definitive financing documentation (including any intercreditor agreements in connection therewith) with respect to the Bridge Facility is referred to herein as the “Bridge Credit Documentation”.
Collateral:    The Bridge Facility will be secured by a second lien perfected security interest in the collateral securing the RBL Facility (the “Collateral”), and such security interest will be created on terms and pursuant to



documentation substantially consistent with the collateral documentation for the RBL Facility.

The guarantees will be senior obligations of each Guarantor and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all other senior obligations of such Guarantor.
Purpose:    The proceeds of the Bridge Loans shall be used to finance the Acquisition and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
Interest Rate:    Interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears at the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
Adjusted LIBO Rate” means the LIBO Rate, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for eurocurrency liabilities.
Applicable Margin” shall initially be 650 basis points, and will increase by an additional 50 basis points at the end of each three-month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that the interest rate shall not exceed the Total Cap (as defined in the Bridge Fee Letter).

LIBO Screen Rate” means, for any day and time, with respect to any borrowing for any interest period, the London interbank offered rate as administered by ICE Benchmark Administration (or any other Person that takes over the administration of such rate for U.S. dollars for a period equal in length to such interest period as displayed on pages LIBOR01 or LIBOR02 of the Reuters screen that displays such rate (or, in the event such rate does not appear on a Reuters page or screen, on any successor or substitute page on such screen that displays such rate, or on the appropriate page of such other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided that if the LIBO Screen Rate as so determined would be less than 1.00%, such rate shall be deemed to 1.00% for the purposes of calculating such rate.
Interpolated Rate” means, at any time, for any interest period, the rate per annum (rounded to the same number of decimal places as the LIBO Screen Rate) determined by the Administrative Agent (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) to be equal to the rate that results from interpolating on a linear basis between: (a) the LIBO Screen Rate for the longest period for which the LIBO Screen Rate is available) that is shorter than the Impacted Interest



Period; and (b) the LIBO Screen Rate for the shortest period (for which that LIBO Screen Rate is available) that exceeds the Impacted Interest Period, in each case, at such time.
During the continuance of a payment or bankruptcy event of default, interest will accrue on the overdue principal of the Bridge Loans and on any other overdue amount at a rate of 2.00% above the rate otherwise applicable to the Bridge Loans and will be payable on demand. Overdue interest, fees and other amounts shall bear interest at 2.00% above the applicable rate.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Basel III (and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives relating to each of the foregoing or issued in connection therewith) shall be deemed to be changes in law after the Closing Date regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
Amortization:    None.
Optional Prepayments:    The Bridge Loans may be prepaid prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Rollover Date”), without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, upon written notice, at the option of the Borrower, at any time, together with accrued interest to the prepayment date on the principal amount prepaid.
Mandatory Prepayments

Closing Date, (ii) the aggregate net cash proceeds from the issuance of any equity of the Borrower (other than (A) stock options, phantom units or equity issued under a management incentive plan (or in connection with vesting of phantom units and exercising of stock options) and a dividend reinvestment plan and (B) any net cash proceeds which are required to be applied to a mandatory prepayment in respect of the RBL Facility or other secured debt) and (iii) following the receipt of net cash proceeds in excess of (x) $25.0 million on an individual basis and (y) $75.0 million in the aggregate (it being understood that any amount excluded pursuant to clause (x) shall count towards amounts excluded in clause (y)) by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries from the sale or other disposition of property or assets outside of the ordinary course of business, including sales or issuances of equity interests of any restricted subsidiary of the Borrower or any casualty or condemnation event (after giving effect to any repayments required pursuant to the terms of the RBL Facility or any other secured debt); it being understood and agreed that, to the extent any amounts are borrowed on the Closing Date under the Bridge Facility, the aggregate amount of gross proceeds received (including receipt in escrow) by the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries from any borrowing under the Bridge Facility and any issuance of Debt Securities shall not exceed $500.0 million.
(b) After the Closing Date, the Borrower shall prepay the Bridge Loans without premium or penalty, together with accrued interest to the date of the proposed prepayment, (i) following the receipt of net cash proceeds by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries from the sale or other disposition of property or assets outside of the ordinary course of business, including sales or issuances of equity interests in any restricted subsidiary of the Borrower or any casualty or condemnation event (after giving effect to any repayments required pursuant to the terms of the RBL Facility or any other secured debt) subject to de minimis thresholds, exceptions and reinvestment rights to be agreed, (ii) following the receipt of net cash proceeds by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries from the issuance or incurrence after the Closing Date of any Senior Notes or Securities (including Debt Securities), Term Loans (as defined in the Bridge Fee Letter), or any other debt for borrowed money (other than the RBL Facility, any short term working capital facilities, capital lease, purchase money debt and equipment financing in the ordinary course of business, permitted refinancing indebtedness, intercompany debt among the Borrower and its subsidiaries and certain other exceptions to be mutually agreed) of the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries and (iii) following the receipt of net cash proceeds from the issuance of any equity of the Borrower (other than (A) stock options, phantom units or equity issued under a management incentive plan (or in connection with vesting of phantom units and exercising of stock options) and a dividend reinvestment plan, (B) any such net cash proceeds which are required to be applied to a mandatory prepayment in respect of the RBL Facility or other secured debt, (C) equity issued as



consideration for permitted acquisitions and (D) other exceptions to be agreed).
For the avoidance of doubt, “net cash proceeds” as used herein does not take into account any repayment required in respect of the RBL Facility or other secured debt.
    The mandatory prepayment provisions will not apply to the Rollover Loans.
Change in Control:    In the event of a change in control (the definition of which is to be mutually agreed), each Lender will have the right to require the Borrower, and the Borrower must offer, to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Loans at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

Any Bridge Loans not converted into Rollover Loans shall be repaid in full on the Rollover Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will not be required to exchange Rollover Loans for Exchange Notes unless it has received requests to issue at least $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes.
    The Exchange Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture that will have the terms set forth on Annex II-C hereto. The Bridge Loans, the Rollover Loans and the Exchange Notes shall be pari passu in right of payment for all purposes.

If you shall in good faith reasonably believe you have delivered the Offering Memorandum in the form otherwise required to be delivered pursuant to the requirements of clause (b) above, you may deliver to the Commitment Parties a written notice to that effect (stating when you believe you completed such delivery), in which case you shall be deemed to have delivered the Offering Memorandum in the form otherwise required to be delivered pursuant to the requirements of clause (b) above on the date specified in such notice and the Bond Marketing Period shall be deemed to have commenced on the date specified in such notice unless the Investment Bank in good faith reasonably believes you have not completed the delivery of such Offering Memorandum and, within five business days after the delivery of such notice by you, delivers a written notice to you to that effect (stating with specificity which information is required to complete the Offering Memorandum) (provided that it is understood that the delivery of such written notice from the Investment Bank to you will not prejudice your right to assert that the Offering Memorandum has in fact been delivered).

proposed in good faith by Buyer with respect to such Title Benefit), shall be less than 25% of the unadjusted Purchase Price. All capitalized terms used in this paragraph but not otherwise defined in this Annex III shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Acquisition Agreement.

(xvi)    The Borrower shall have delivered (or shall have caused to be delivered) to the Administrative Agent the Initial Reserve Report.

ANNEX IV
SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE1
[_____], 20[ ]
This SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE (this “Certificate”) is delivered in connection with that certain Credit Agreement dated as of [_____], 20[_] (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated, replaced, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among [_____] (the “Borrower”), [other parties], [ ], as administrative agent [and collateral agent], the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders and the other parties thereto. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the same meanings as in the Credit Agreement.
In my capacity as a Responsible Officer of Company (as defined below), and not in my individual or personal capacity, I hereby certify that as of the date hereof:
1.    The Company (as used herein “Company” means the Borrower and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis) is not, after giving effect to the incurrence of the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions on the Closing Date, on a pro forma basis, “insolvent” as defined in this paragraph; in this context, “insolvent” means that (i) the fair value of the assets of the Company is less than the amount that will be required to pay the total liability on existing debts as they become absolute and matured, (ii) the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Company is less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability on existing debts of the Company as they become absolute and matured, (iii) the Company is unable to pay its debts or other obligations as they generally become absolute and matured. The term “debts” as used in this Certificate includes any legal liability, whether matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute, fixed or contingent and “values of assets” shall mean the amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible) in their entirety would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under compulsion to act.
2.    The incurrence of the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the consummation of the other Transactions on the Closing Date, on a pro forma basis, will not leave the Company with property remaining in its hands constituting “unreasonably small capital.” I understand that “unreasonably small capital” depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on my current assumptions regarding the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the businesses conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Company in light of projected financial statements and available credit capacity, which current assumption I do not believe to be unreasonable in light of the circumstances applicable thereto.
11    Defined terms to be aligned with those in the applicable definitive Credit Agreement, but consistent with this form of solvency certificate

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Solvency Certificate on the date first written above.
