Purchase Agreement

On March 12, 2019, Centennial Resource Production, LLC (CRP), a subsidiary of Centennial Resource Development, Inc. (the Company), and certain subsidiaries of CRP (the Guarantors), entered into a purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representative (the Representative) of the several initial purchasers named therein (the Initial Purchasers), in connection with an offering (the Notes Offering) of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes due 2027 (the Notes). CRP intends to use the net proceeds of the Notes Offering to repay all outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and the remainder for general corporate purposes. The Notes Offering closed on March 15, 2019.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by CRP and the Guarantors and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. Additionally, CRP and the Guarantors have agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or to contribute to payments the Initial Purchasers may be required to make because of any of those liabilities. Furthermore, CRP and the Guarantors have agreed with the Initial Purchasers not to offer or sell any debt securities issued or guaranteed by CRP or the Guarantors having more than one year until maturity (other than the Notes) for a period of 90 days after the date of the Purchase Agreement without the prior written consent of the Representative.

Certain of the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates have from time to time performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory, commercial banking and investment banking services for the Company, CRP and their affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they have received and would receive customary compensation. In particular, affiliates of each of the Initial Purchasers are lenders under CRPs revolving credit facility, and, as a result, will receive a portion of the net proceeds from the Notes Offering in such capacities. In addition, in the ordinary course of their various business activities, the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the Company, CRP and their affiliates.
