On September 18, 2017, Gran Tierra Energy Inc. (the “Company”),
Gran Tierra Energy International Holdings Ltd. (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), as borrower, the Bank of Nova
Scotia, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Eighth
Amendment”). The Eighth Amendment amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 18, 2015, by and among the Company,
Gran Tierra Energy International Holdings Ltd., the Bank of Nova Scotia, and the lenders party thereto (as subsequently amended
under the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Amendments to the Credit Agreement, the “Credit
Agreement”). The Eighth Amendment is effective as of September 18, 2017 and, among other things, (i) extends the revolving
credit maturity date from September 18, 2018 to October 1, 2018, and (ii) excludes certain subsidiaries of the Company which were
acquired by the Company in an acquisition that closed on August 23, 2016 from certain of the covenants, representations and warranties
and events of default in the Credit Agreement in order to facilitate the reorganization and windup of those subsidiaries and the
transfer of assets of such subsidiaries to other subsidiaries of the Company.
From time to time, the agents, arrangers, book runners and lenders
under the Credit Agreement and their affiliates have provided, and may provide in the future, investment banking, commercial lending,
hedging and financial advisory services to the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business, for which they have
received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.
The foregoing description of the Eighth Amendment is not complete
and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Eighth Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated
herein by reference.
