This AMENDED AND RESTATED INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) dated as of November 7, 2017, among Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the Midstream Credit Agreement Claimholders (in such capacity and together with its successors from time to time in such capacity, the “Midstream Agent”), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the RBL Credit Agreement Claimholders (in such capacity and together with its successors from time to time in such capacity, the “RBL Agent”), and acknowledged and agreed to by Beartooth DevCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Beartooth”), Bobcat DevCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Bobcat”), the other Grantors and the DevCo Parent (as defined below). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in Article I below.
Reference is made to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 5, 2013 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “RBL Credit Agreement”), among Oasis Petroleum North America LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OPNA”) as borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “RBL Lenders”), the RBL Agent and the other parties named therein.
Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of September 25, 2017 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Midstream Credit Agreement”), among OMP Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OMP”) as borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Midstream Lenders”), the Midstream Agent and the other parties named therein.
Reference is made to the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement dated as of September 25, 2017 (the “Original Intercreditor Agreement”) among the Midstream Agent, the RBL Agent and the Grantors party thereto.
Prior to the date hereof, each of Beartooth and Bobcat had severally agreed to (a) guarantee the RBL Credit Agreement Obligations and the Midstream Credit Agreement Obligations pursuant to certain limited recourse guaranty agreements (such guarantees in respect of the RBL Credit Agreement Obligations, the “RBL DevCo Guarantees” and such guarantees in respect of the Midstream Credit Agreement Obligations, the “Midstream DevCo Guarantees”) and (b) grant Liens on their respective Property to secure each of the RBL Credit Agreement Obligations and the Midstream Credit Agreement Obligations;
Pursuant to that certain Consent and Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “RBL Tenth Amendment”) among OPNA, the RBL Agent, the guarantors party thereto and the RBL Lenders party thereto, RBL Agent (on behalf of itself and the other RBL Credit Agreement Claimholders) has agreed (a) to release the RBL DevCo Guarantees and to terminate the Liens encumbering the Property of Bobcat and Beartooth securing the RBL Credit Agreement Obligations and (b) that each of Bobcat and Beartooth may continue to guarantee the Midstream Credit Agreement Obligations pursuant to the Midstream DevCo Guarantees and that the Liens on their respective Property may continue to secure the Midstream Credit Agreement Obligations;
In order to induce the RBL Agent (on behalf itself and the other RBL Credit Agreement Claimholders) to permit the continuance of the Midstream DevCo Guarantees and the Liens on the Property of Bobcat and Beartooth securing the Midstream Credit Agreement Obligations (notwithstanding the release of the RBL DevCo Guarantees and the termination of the Liens on the Property of Bobcat and Beartooth securing the RBL Credit Agreement Obligations), the Midstream Agent has agreed (on behalf of itself and the other Midstream Credit Agreement Claimholders) to enter into this Agreement amending and restating the Original Intercreditor Agreement and setting forth certain limitations with respect to the Collateral and the application of the proceeds of any Collateral;
Furthermore, it is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the RBL Tenth Amendment and to the RBL Agent’s agreement to amend and restate the Original Intercreditor Agreement that the Grantors and the DevCo Parent acknowledge and agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
In consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and obligations herein set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the RBL Agent (for itself and on behalf of each other RBL Credit Agreement Claimholder) and the Midstream Agent (for itself and on behalf of each other Midstream Credit Agreement Claimholder), intending to be legally bound, hereby agrees to amend and restate the Original Intercreditor Agreement in its entirety as follows:

Section 5.3 Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time.
