SECOND AMENDMENT TO
SECOND LIEN TERM LOAN CREDIT AGREEMENT

This second Amendment TO SECOND lien term loan CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), effective as of the ____ day of February, 2012 (the “Second Amendment Effective Date”), is entered into by and among MAGNUM HUNTER RESOURCES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors party hereto (the “Guarantors”), the Lenders party hereto (the “Lenders”) and CAPITAL ONE, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent entered into that certain Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement dated September 28, 2011 (as amended by the First Amendment to Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement effective as of December 6, 2011, and as further amended or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement and make the other agreements more particularly described below; and

WHEREAS, said parties are willing to so amend the Credit Agreement and make such agreements subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants set forth in this Amendment, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

2. Amendments to Credit Agreement.

(a) Amendment to Section 9.18(a). Section 9.18(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (a) deleting the word “and” at the end of clause (ii) thereof, (b) replacing the period at the end of clause (iii) with “; and”, and (c) adding a new clause (iv) to read as follows: 

“(iv) Swap Agreements to hedge foreign exchange rate risks to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has actual exposure.”

(b) Amendment to Section 9.18(c). Section 9.18(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

“(c) For purposes of this Section 9.18, purchases of put options and purchases of price floors shall not be considered Swap Agreements.”

 

3. Partial Release; Consent to Transfer.

(a) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, hereby releases the Equity Interests of Hunter Disposal, LLC held by Triad Hunter, LLC and all general intangibles related thereto (collectively, the “Released Property”) and does hereby agree that all security interests, Liens and rights in the Released Property granted to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in the Loan Documents are hereby waived, discharged and released in their entirety. This release is a partial release only, limited solely to the security interests, Liens and rights in the Released Property granted in the Loan Documents and does not affect or impair in any manner any of the other Collateral. 
(b) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transfer (free and clear of any Liens) by Triad Hunter, LLC to GreenHunter Energy, Inc. of the Released Property. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby (i) waive Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement to the extent necessary to effectuate the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Released Property and (ii) agree that the value of the Released Property shall not be included in calculating the usage of the basket in Section 9.11(e) of the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the transfer of the Released Property does not result in an obligation to prepay the Loans. 

4. Ratification. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby ratifies all of its respective obligations under the Credit Agreement and each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and agrees and acknowledges that the Credit Agreement and each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party are and shall continue to be in full force and effect as amended and modified by this Amendment. Except as provided herein, nothing in this Amendment extinguishes, novates or releases any right, claim, lien, security interest or entitlement of any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent created by or contained in any of such documents nor is the Borrower nor any Guarantor released from any covenant, warranty or obligation created by or contained herein or therein.

5. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower and Guarantors hereby represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that (a) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower and Guarantors, (b) this Amendment constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement enforceable against the Borrower and Guarantors in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, (c) the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the date hereof in all material respects as though made as of the date hereof (except to the extent any such representations and warranties are expressly limited to an earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall continue to be true and correct as of such specified earlier date), (d) no Default or Event of Default exists under the Credit Agreement or under any Loan Document as of the Second Amendment Effective Date and (e) the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment has been duly authorized by the Borrower and Guarantors.
