Re: | Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of January 8, 2008 among Approach Resources, Inc.(“Borrower”), the Frost National Bank and the institutions named therein (“Lenders”) and The Frost National Bank, as Administrative Agent (“Agent”) |
Gentlemen:
Reference is hereby made to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of January 8, 2008 among
Approach Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and each of the financial
institutions which is a party thereto or which may from time to time become a party thereto
pursuant to the provisions of Section 29 thereof or any successor or permitted assignee thereof
(collectively, “Lenders”) and The Frost National Bank, a national banking association, as
Administrative Agent (“Agent”) (as amended hereby, the “Loan Agreement”). All capitalized terms
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
Pursuant to this letter amendment (the “Amendment”), Agent, Lenders and Borrower agree,
effective as of May 6, 2008, to amend the Loan Agreement according to the terms and provisions set
forth below.
1.
Increase to Borrowing Base and Commitment. As of the date hereof, the Borrowing
Base and Commitment under the Loan Agreement are increased to $100,000,000.
2. Ratification by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby ratifies and reaffirms all of
its obligations under its Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty”) of Borrower’s obligations under the
Loan Agreement, as amended hereby. Each Guarantor also hereby agrees that nothing in this
Amendment shall adversely affect any right or remedy of Lenders under the Guaranty and that the
execution and delivery of this Amendment shall in no way change or modify its obligations as
guarantor under the Guaranty. Although each Guarantor has been informed by Borrower of the matters
set forth in this Amendment and such Guarantor has acknowledged and agreed to the same, such
Guarantor understands that Agent has no duty to notify such Guarantor or to seek such Guarantor’s
acknowledgment or agreement, and nothing contained herein shall create such a duty as to any
transaction hereafter.
3. Confirmation and Ratification. Except as affected by the provisions set forth
herein, the Loan Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and
confirmed by all parties. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not,
except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Lenders
under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
4. Reference to Loan Agreement. Each of the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents,
and any and all other agreements, documents or instruments now or hereafter executed and delivered
pursuant to the terms hereof or pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, are
hereby amended so that any reference in the Loan Agreement, the Loan Documents and such other
documents to the Loan Agreement shall mean a reference to the Loan Agreement as amended hereby.
5. Final Agreement. THE LOAN AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED BY THIS AMENDMENT, AND ALL
PROMISSORY NOTES AND OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED PURSUANT THERETO OR HERETO, REPRESENT THE FINAL
AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR
SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN OR AMONG
ANY OF THE PARTIES.
Please signify your acceptance to the foregoing terms and provisions by executing a copy of
this Amendment at the space provided below.
