heretofore properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of its obligations to the Credit
Parties and their Affiliates under the Credit Agreement and the other
-5-
Credit Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agents, the Borrowing Base Agent and the
Lenders wish (and the Credit Parties agree) to eliminate any possibility that any past conditions,
acts, omissions, events or circumstances would impair or otherwise adversely affect any of the
Agents’, the Borrowing Base Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights, interests, security and/or remedies
under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Accordingly, for and in consideration
of the agreements contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, each
Credit Party (for itself and its Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives
of each of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Releasors”) does hereby fully, finally,
unconditionally and irrevocably release and forever discharge each Agent, the Borrowing Base Agent,
each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys,
consultants and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all debts,
claims, obligations, damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions,
proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed,
direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under
contract, tort, statute or otherwise (collectively, “Claims”), which any Releasor has
heretofore had or now or hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of
any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done (collectively, “Actions”)
on or prior to the Thirty-First Amendment Effective Date arising out of, connected with or related
in any way to this Amendment, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any act, event
or transaction related or attendant thereto done or omitted to be done on or prior to the
Thirty-First Amendment Effective Date, or the agreements of any Agent, the Borrowing Base Agent or
any Lender contained therein, or the possession, use, operation or control of any of the assets of
any Credit Party, or the making of any Loans or other advances, or the management of such Loans or
advances or the Collateral on or prior to the Thirty-First Amendment Effective Date. For the
avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Amendment shall be deemed to release or discharge any
Released Party from any Claims arising out of, in connection with or related in any way to Actions
occurring after the date of this Amendment.

different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original,

executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or electronic mail shall be equally
effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment.

from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranty) or in
connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in
the nature of a “work out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings
(including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of any advisers retained by Agents, the
