(i)subject to the proviso below, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, on a net basis, the aggregate daily notional volume determined on a month by month basis for each of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil, calculated separately, covered by all Hedge Agreements with a term greater than sixty (60) months from the date each such Hedge Agreement is entered into shall not exceed 20% of the average consolidated daily production volumes of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil, calculated separately, of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the most recently ended four fiscal quarter period (after giving pro forma effect to any Dispositions permitted under Section 10.4 during such period, and excluding the effect of any force majeure events during such period), and the Borrower shall and shall cause the Restricted Subsidiaries to promptly, but in any event within forty-five (45) days following the end of each fiscal quarter, enter into Hedge Terminations to the extent necessary to be in compliance with the limitations set forth in this clause (i) (but no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have arisen during such 45 day period); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing and regardless of whether such percentage limitation is exceeded, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to enter into any Hedge Terminations (and no Default or Event of Default shall arise hereunder from exceeding such percentage limitation) unless long-dated Hedge Agreements subject to this clause are within 24 months of their scheduled maturity date (in which case such obligation shall arise only with respect to long-dated Hedge Agreements that are within 24 months of their scheduled maturity date, with Hedge Terminations for long-dated Hedge Agreements with a scheduled maturity date outside of such 24 month period at the option of the Borrower to satisfy such requirement);

(iv)notwithstanding the separate calculation requirements for natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, so long as the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries properly identify and consistently report such hedges, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries may utilize crude oil hedges as a substitute for hedging natural gas liquids.

1.9 Qualified Financial Contracts. A new Section 13.28 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement to read in its entirety as follows:

13.28 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

1.10Schedule 1.1(a). Schedule 1.1(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) attached hereto.

SECTION 2.Reallocation and Increase of Commitments. The Lenders have agreed among themselves to reallocate their respective Commitments, and to, among other things, permit one or more of the Lenders to increase their respective Commitments under the Credit Agreement (each an “Increasing Lender”). Each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby consents to (i) the reallocation of the Commitments as set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) to this Amendment, and (ii) the increase in each Increasing Lender’s Commitment. On the date this

Range Resources Corporation - First Amendment

Page 6

Amendment becomes effective and after giving effect to such reallocation, increase and assignment of the Commitments, the Commitment and Commitment Percentage of each Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment. Each Lender hereby consents to the Commitments set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment. The reallocation of the Commitments among the Lenders shall be deemed to have been consummated pursuant to the terms of the Assignment and Assumption attached as Exhibit G to the Cred it Agreement as if the Lenders had executed an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such reallocation. The Administrative Agent hereby waives the $3,500 processing and recordation fee set forth in Section 13.6(b)(ii)(C) of the Credit Agreement with respect to the assignments and reallocations contemplated by this Section 2. To the extent requested by any Lender, and in accordance with Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within the time period prescribed by Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement, any amounts required to be paid by the Borrower under Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement in the event the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto is required in connection with the reallocation contemplated by this Section 2.
