WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested certain amendments to the Credit Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, the Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement solely upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Defined Terms.  Unless otherwise noted herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

 

2.             Amendment to Section 6.17(b) of the Credit Agreement (Hedging Strategy; Risk Management Policy).  Section 6.17(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the phrase “Net Open Positions at no time exceeds 150,000 barrels or barrel equivalents of Crude Oil and no more than 350,000 barrels of Natural Gas Liquids.” as it appears at the end of such Section and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

3.             Representations and Warranties; No Default.  To induce the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, each Credit Party that is a party hereto (by delivery of its respective counterpart to this Amendment) hereby (i) represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that after giving effect to this Amendment, its representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof with the same effect as though made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); (ii) represents and warrants to the

5.             Limited Effect.  Except as expressly provided hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect.  The amendments contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver or amendment of any other provision of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or for any purpose, except as expressly set forth herein, or a consent to any further or future action on the part of any Credit Party that would require the waiver or consent of the Lenders.  This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
