Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of November 2, 2018 (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”) among Amplify Energy Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), Amplify Acqusitionco Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Bank of Montreal as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders, and as L/C Issuer. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.

The Borrower has delivered satisfactory evidence to the Administrative Agent demonstrating its compliance with the minimum hedging requirements set forth in Section 6.19(a) of the Credit Agreement. Due to the current market prices for Hydrocarbons, however, the Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders consent to an extension of the date by which the Borrower must show compliance with its December 31, 2018 hedging requirements in Section 6.19(b) of the Credit Agreement.

Further, the Borrower has commenced the process of establishing its Deposit Accounts with BMO Xxxxxx Bank N.A., an affiliate of the Administrative Agent, and in connection with such process has requested that with respect to the Deposit Accounts listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Xxxxx Fargo Accounts”), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders waive the requirement under Section 6.18(a) of the Credit Agreement requiring that the Borrower deliver to the Administrative Agent within 60 days after the Closing Date, a Control Agreement with respect to each Deposit Account held or maintained by any Loan Party on the Closing Date.

By this Letter Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party hereto, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the date by which the Borrower must deliver satisfactory evidence to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.l 9(b) of the Credit Agreement confirming that it has entered into Hedge Transactions for the period from (a) December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019 covering at least fifty percent (50%) of the reasonably anticipated projected production of natural gas and crude oil from Oil and Gas Properties comprising Proved Developed Producing Reserves of the Loan Parties for each month in the immediately following twelve calendar months, be extended from December 31, 2018 to February 28, 2019 and (b) December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020 covering at least twenty­five percent (25%) of the reasonably anticipated projected production of natural gas and crude oil from Oil and Gas Properties comprising Proved Developed Producing Reserves of the Loan Parties for each month in the immediately following twelve calendar months, be extended from December 31, 2018 to February 28, 2019, and (ii) the Borrower shall not be required to deliver Control Agreements for the Xxxxx Fargo Accounts so long as on or before (a) January 31, 2019, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Control Agreement for each Deposit Account that is maintained by any Loan Party with BMO Xxxxxx Bank, N.A., and (b) February 28, 2019, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent evidence demonstrating that the each of the Xxxxx Fargo Accounts shall have been closed.
