Re:
Waiver and Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We refer to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of June 29, 2012 (as heretofore amended or otherwise modified, the “Loan Agreement”), by and among Miller Energy Resources, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions party thereto from time to time as Lenders and Apollo Investment Corporation, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby. References herein to any Section shall be to a Section of the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, unless otherwise specifically provided.

Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent that, as of the end of the Borrower's third Fiscal Quarter (ended January 31, 2013): (i) Borrower was not in compliance with the Maintenance Covenant contained in Section 7.17(c) (Minimum Gross Production) of the Loan Agreement; and (ii) while final financial data for the Borrower's third Fiscal Quarter are not yet available, Borrower believes it is not in compliance with (A) Section 7.17(a) (Interest Coverage Ratio) and (B) Section 7.26 (Consolidated G&A Expenses) for its third Fiscal Quarter (the Defaults or Events of Default specified in this paragraph being the “Specified Defaults”).

The Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent of its desire to borrow an additional $5,000,000 pursuant to terms and conditions of Sections 2.2 and 3.2 of the Loan Agreement (the “Second Loan”). Borrower has further indicated that it wishes to obtain a waiver of the Specified Defaults and to make certain amendments to the Loan Agreement and the Approved Plan of Development.

Accordingly, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (or at least the required percentage thereof) hereby agree as follows:

1.
Fees.
(a) Unused Fee. The parties understand that, after the borrowing of the Second Loan, as contemplated herein, an additional $10 million will remain outstanding of the initial $55 million Availability contemplated by the Loan Agreement (the “Remaining Availability”). On June 29, 2013, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) in an amount equal to $2,000,000.00 which, once paid, shall not be refundable under any circumstance; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay the Unused Fee in the event that the Borrower submits a request to borrow an amount equal to the Remaining Availability at any time on or prior to June 29, 2013, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Sections 2.2 and 3.2 of the Loan Agreement, it being understood that if, following such a request from the Borrower, due to the failure of a condition





to such borrowing that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders elect not to waive, such Loan shall not be made to the Borrower, then the Unused Fee shall not be payable by the Borrower hereunder.

(b) Amendment Fee. On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an amendment fee (the “Amendment Fee”) in an amount equal to $200,000.00 which, once paid, shall not be refundable under any circumstance.

2.
Waivers. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (or at least the required percentage thereof) hereby agree to waive (i) the Specified Defaults to the extent now existing and (ii) with respect to the Second Loan, (A) the fifteen (15) Business Day prior notice of any Loan requested and (B) the delivery of the Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit C to the Loan Agreement, each as otherwise required by Section 2.2(a) of the Loan Agreement; provided that, in connection with the Second Loan, the Borrower shall be required to deliver an irrevocable request in writing (the “Second Loan Borrowing Request”) to the Administrative Agent in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The foregoing waivers are contingent upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 below and shall not be construed as an amendment, waiver or modification of the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents except as expressly provided herein. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders reserve the right to exercise any rights and remedies available to them in connection with any other present or future Defaults or Events of Default under any provision of the Loan Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document. The description herein of the Specified Defaults is based upon the information provided to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on or prior to the date hereof and shall not be deemed to exclude the existence of any other Defaults or Events of Default. The failure of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to give notice to the Borrower of any other Defaults or Events of Default is not intended to be nor shall be a waiver thereof. Borrower hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders require and will require strict performance by the Borrower of all of its obligations, agreements and covenants contained in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and no inaction or action regarding any Default or Event of Default is intended to be or shall be a waiver thereof.

3.
Understanding Concerning the Series B and Series C Offerings. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that it has reviewed the documents governing the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock and that no such document contains any terms that would cause the Series B Preferred Stock or the Series C Preferred Stock to constitute “Indebtedness” as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement. In reliance upon the representation and warranty contained in this Section 3, the parties hereto understand and agree that the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock are not considered to be Indebtedness for purposes of the definition of “Capital Covenant Compliance Period” and Section 7.17 of the Loan Agreement, notwithstanding that they may be classified as debt or temporary equity for accounting purposes.

4.
Amendments to the Loan Agreement and APOD. The following amendments to the Loan Agreement and the Approved Plan of Development are hereby adopted

(a)
New Defined Terms. The following new defined terms are added to Section 1.1, in the appropriate alphabetical order:

Preferred Equity Proceeds” shall not include (i) any amounts deposited into the Special Dividend Account as required by Section 6.17 hereof nor (ii) any Excluded Equity Proceeds used pursuant to Section 7.24(a), (b), or (c) hereof.”
