(d) Section 3.03 of the Original Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

“Section 3.03 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate (including, without limitation, because the LIBO Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period; or

THIRD AMENDMENT TO THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 2

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective (and such Borrowing shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans on the last day of the applicable Interest Period), and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made either as an ABR Borrowing or at an alternate rate of interest determined by the Majority Lenders as their cost of funds.

(b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) above have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but (A) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the LIBO Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBO Rate), (B) the administrator of the LIBO Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBO Rate), (C) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (D) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternative rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for similarly situated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternative rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 3.03(b), only to the extent the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period is not

THIRD AMENDMENT TO THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 3

available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.”

(e) Article VII of the Original Credit Agreement shall be amended by adding a new Section 7.27 thereto which shall read in its entirety as follows:

“Section 7.27 Beneficial Ownership Certification. As of the Third Amendment Effective Date, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification, if applicable, is true and correct in all respects.”

(f) Section 8.01(n) of the Original Credit Agreement shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“(n) Patriot Act. Promptly upon request, all documentation and other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for purposes of compliance with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation”.

(g) Section 8.02 of the Original Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting the word “and” at the end of clause (c) thereof; (ii) deleting the period at the end of clause (d) thereof and inserting “; and” in lieu thereof; and (iii) adding a new clause (e) thereto to read in its entirety as follows:

“(e) any change in the information provided in the Beneficial Ownership Certification delivered to the Administrative Agent or such Lender that would result in a change to the list of beneficial owners identified in such certification.”

(h) Section 8.20 of the Original Credit Agreement shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“Section 8.20 Swap Agreements. The Borrower shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary to, enter into and maintain in effect, with one or more Approved Counterparties, a commodity price hedge position establishing minimum fixed prices acceptable to the Administrative Agent on a volume of Hydrocarbons equal to not less than 40% of the reasonably projected production from proved, developed, producing Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a rolling 12-month basis; provided that, the Borrower may proportionally reduce its hedge position through the termination or unwinding of Swap Agreements in connection with the sale of Oil and Gas Properties permitted pursuant to Section 9.10 such that the Borrower’s hedge position following such sale of Oil and Gas Properties and corresponding reduction in hedge position shall cover a substantially similar percentage of the total volume of Hydrocarbons produced by the Borrower for the applicable periods as did the Borrower’s hedge position prior to the sale of such Oil and Gas Properties and corresponding reduction in hedge position.”
