FORBEARANCE

FORBEARANCE, dated as of November 30, 2016 (this “Agreement”), by and among Memorial Production Partners LP., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), Memorial Production Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”), each of the undersigned entities listed as guarantors (the “Guarantors” and, together with the Issuers, the “Note Parties”), and each of the undersigned beneficial owners and/or investment advisors or managers of discretionary accounts for the holders or beneficial owners of the 2022 Notes (as defined below) (collectively, the “Holders”).

WHEREAS, the Issuers are the issuers under (i) that certain Indenture, dated as of July 17, 2014, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as successor trustee (the “Trustee”) (as amended, modified or supplemented prior to the date hereof, the “2022 Indenture” and, the notes issued thereunder, the “2022 Notes”) and (ii) that certain Indenture dated as of April 17, 2013, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as successor trustee (as amended, modified or supplemented to the date hereof, the “2021 Indenture”, and the notes issued thereunder, the “2021 Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Issuers failed to make the interest payment due on November 1, 2016 on the 2021 Notes as required pursuant to the 2021 Indenture (the “November Interest Payment”), and the default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the 2021 Notes may constitute an Event of Default under the 2022 Indenture (such default, the “Cross Default”);

WHEREAS, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such Event of Default is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2022 Notes may declare all of the 2022 Notes to be due and payable immediately, and exercise all other rights and remedies available under the 2022 Indenture;

WHEREAS, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2022 Notes may, by written notice to the Trustee, rescind an acceleration if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

WHEREAS, the Holders collectively hold a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes outstanding, and have formed an ad hoc group (the “Ad Hoc Group”) for the purposes of entering into restructuring discussions with the Note Parties;

WHEREAS, the Note Parties have requested that the Holders, and the Holders have agreed to, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, temporarily forbear from accelerating the 2022 Notes or directing the Trustee to accelerate the 2022 Notes with respect to the Cross Default in order to permit the Note Parties to continue discussions regarding a restructuring transaction; and

WHEREAS, terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the 2022 Indenture.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

Section 1. Forbearance.

(a) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 below and the continued satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 below, respectively, as of the date hereof, each Holder hereby agrees that during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the Forbearance Termination Date (the “Forbearance Period”), it will not enforce, or otherwise take any action to direct enforcement of, any of the rights and remedies available to the Holders (or any registered Holders of Notes) or the Trustee under the 2022 Indenture or the 2022 Notes or otherwise, including, without limitation, any action to accelerate, or join in any request for acceleration of, the 2022 Notes (“Remedial Action”) under the 2022 Indenture or the 2022 Notes, solely with respect to the Cross Default (such forbearance, the “Forbearance”). As used herein, “Forbearance Termination Date” means the earliest to occur of (a) 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on December 7, 2016, (b) the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the Cross Default and (c) two (2) calendar days following written notice from any Holder of any breach by any Note Party of any of the conditions or agreements provided in this Agreement (which breach remains uncured during such period).

(b) This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude any Holder from acquiring or selling 2022 Notes to the extent permitted by applicable law. However, such Holder shall, automatically and without further action, remain subject to this Agreement with respect to any 2022 Notes so acquired. The foregoing forbearances shall not be construed to impair the ability of the Holders or the Trustee to exercise any rights or remedies under the 2022 Indenture or take any Remedial Action (x) at any time after the Forbearance Period or (y) during the Forbearance Period, for Defaults or Events of Default other than the Cross Default, and, except as provided herein, nothing shall restrict, impair or otherwise affect the exercise of the Holders’ or the Trustee’s rights under this Agreement, the 2022 Indenture or the 2022 Notes.

(c) With respect to the Forbearance, each Holder’s agreements, as provided herein, shall immediately terminate without requirement for any notice, demand or presentment of any kind on the Forbearance Termination Date, and the Note Parties at that time shall be obligated to comply with and perform all terms, conditions and provisions of the 2022 Indenture and the 2022 Notes without giving effect to the Forbearance, and the Trustee and the Holders may at any time thereafter proceed to exercise any and all of their rights and remedies, including, without limitation, their rights and remedies in connection with the Cross Default and any other Defaults or Events of Default under the 2022 Indenture or rights under this Agreement, to the extent continuing.

(d) The Holders hereby request that during the Forbearance Period Trustee not take, and direct the Trustee not to take any Remedial Action solely with respect to the Cross Default. The Parties hereto agree that this Agreement may be delivered to the Trustee on any date during the Forbearance Period as a direction contemplated by Sections 6.05 or 6.06 of the Indenture, and that the Holders shall, upon request from the Issuers, provide such further direction to the Trustee as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of the foregoing. In the event that any Person takes any action to declare all of the 2022 Notes immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02 of the 2022 Indenture during the Forbearance Period solely due to the Cross Default, the Holders agree to, by written notice to the Trustee, rescind and cancel such acceleration to the fullest extent permitted under the 2022 Indenture.
