(a)hedge or mitigate crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids price risks to which any Borrower or any Subsidiary has actual exposure; provided that such Hedging Agreement (i) does not have a term greater than sixty (60) months from the date such Hedging Agreement is entered into, and (ii) at any time, when aggregated with all other Hedging Agreements in effect on any date of determination, would not cause the aggregate notional volume per month for each of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, calculated separately, under all Hedging Agreements then in effect to exceed (x) eighty percent (80%) of the “forecasted production from total proved reserves” (as defined below) of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries for any month during the first two (2) years of the forthcoming five year period or (y) eighty percent (80%)

of the “forecasted production from proved developed producing reserves” (as defined below) of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries for any month during the last three (3) years of the forthcoming five year period, and

As used in this Section, (x) “forecasted production from total proved reserves” means the forecasted production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids as reflected in the most recent Reserve Report delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.5, after giving effect to any pro forma adjustments for the consummation of any acquisitions or dispositions since the effective date of such Reserve Report and (y) “forecasted production from proved developed producing reserves” means the forecasted production of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids from proved developed producing reserves as reflected in the most recent Reserve Report delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.5, after giving effect to any pro forma adjustments for the consummation of any acquisitions or dispositions since the effective date of such Reserve Report.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, if any Borrower or any Subsidiary is not in compliance with clause (a)(ii) above, such compliance shall not cause a Default hereunder unless Borrower fails to, within 30 days after the earlier of notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to any Borrower or knowledge thereof by any Borrower, either (1) deliver a Reserve Report evidencing “forecasted production from total proved reserves” and “forecasted production from proved developed producing reserves” that result in compliance with clause (a)(ii) or (2) provide evidence that the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary has unwound, terminated or otherwise created offsetting positions for its Hedging Agreements (herein collectively referred to as a “Hedging Modification”) that result in compliance with clause (a)(ii) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Hedging Modifications must otherwise be in compliance with the terms of this Agreement).

In connection with the novation, assignment, amendment, modification or termination of any Borrowing Base Hedges, if the sum of the Borrowing Base value attributed by the Required Lenders to such Borrowing Base Hedges and all other Borrowing Base Hedges that have

been novated, assigned, amended, modified or terminated since the most recent scheduled Borrowing Base determination pursuant to Section 2.11 plus the aggregate Release Price of all Oil and Gas Properties included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base which have been disposed of since the most recent scheduled Borrowing Base determination pursuant to Section 2.11 equals or exceeds 5% of the Borrowing Base, the Borrowing Base shall be automatically reduced by an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate Borrowing Base value attributed by the Required Lenders to such Borrowing Base Hedges.

(b)Upon and after the execution of this Amendment by each of the parties hereto, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified hereby.

Section 9. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Transmission by facsimile of an executed counterpart of this Amendment shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart.

Section 10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN 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 BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
