4 responsible for all Property Costs with respect to Seller’s interests in the Assets whether incurred prior to or after the Effective Time. ARTICLE III PURCHASE PRICE 3.1 Purchase Price; Deposit. (a) The purchase price for the Assets shall be an amount equal to Twenty-Nine Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($29,400,000) (the “Purchase Price”), adjusted in accordance with this Agreement (the “Adjusted Purchase Price”).

Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller shall prepare and submit to Buyer for review a draft settlement statement (the “Preliminary Settlement Statement”) that shall set forth Seller’s estimate of the Adjusted Purchase Price, reflecting each adjustment made in accordance with this Agreement as of the date of preparation of such Preliminary Settlement Statement and the calculation of the adjustments used to determine such amount, together with the designation of Seller’s account for the wire transfers of funds as required by Section 3.1 and Section 9.3(d). Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Preliminary Settlement Statement, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a written report containing all changes that Buyer proposes to be made to the Preliminary Settlement Statement together with the explanation therefor and the supporting documents thereof. The Parties shall in good faith attempt to agree in writing on the Preliminary Settlement Statement as soon as possible after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s written report. The Preliminary Settlement Statement, as agreed upon in writing by the Parties, will be used to adjust the Purchase Price at Closing; provided that if the Parties do not agree in writing upon any or all of the adjustments set forth in the Preliminary Settlement Statement, then the amount of such adjustment or adjustments used to adjust the Purchase Price at Closing shall be that amount which is agreed upon by the Parties set forth in the draft Preliminary Settlement Statement delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.3. 3.4 Final Settlement Statement. (a) On or before one hundred twenty (120) days after Closing, a final settlement statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) will be prepared by Seller and delivered to Buyer, based on actual income and expenses (if known) during the Interim Period and which takes into account all final adjustments made to the Purchase Price and shows the resulting final Purchase Price (the “Final Price”). The Final Settlement Statement shall set forth the actual proration of the amounts required by this Agreement. As soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Final Settlement Statement, Buyer shall return to Seller a written Dispute Notice containing any proposed changes to the Final Settlement Statement and an explanation of any such changes and the reasons therefor. Any changes not so specified in the Dispute Notice shall be deemed waived, and Seller’s determinations with respect to all such elements of the Final Settlement Statement that are not addressed specifically in the Dispute Notice shall prevail. If Buyer fails to timely deliver a Dispute Notice to Seller containing changes Buyer proposes to be made to the Final Settlement Statement, without limiting Section 15.2(b), the Final Settlement Statement as delivered by Seller will be deemed to be correct and will be final and

7 binding on the Parties and not subject to further audit or arbitration. If the Final Price set forth in the Final Settlement Statement is mutually agreed upon in writing by Seller and Buyer, without limiting Section 15.2(b), the Final Settlement Statement and the Final Price, shall be final and binding on the Parties and not subject to further audit or arbitration. Any difference in the Adjusted Purchase Price as paid at Closing pursuant to the Preliminary Settlement Statement and the Final Price shall be paid by the owing Party within ten (10) Business Days of final determination of such owed amounts in accordance herewith to the owed Party. All amounts paid pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be delivered in United States currency by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by the relevant Party. (b) If, after the delivery of the Final Settlement Statement pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4(a), either Party receives monies (including proceeds of production) belonging to the other Party pursuant to Section 2.4 or otherwise, then such monies shall, within five (5) Business Days after the end of the month in which they were received, be paid over by the receiving Party to the owed Party. Additionally, if after delivery of the Final Settlement Statement, Seller pays monies relating to the Assets that are the obligation of Buyer, then Buyer shall, within five (5) Business Days after the end of the month in which the applicable invoice and proof of payment of such invoice are received by it, reimburse Seller therefor. Seller shall be permitted to offset any monies owed by it to Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.4 against amounts owed to it by Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.4. 3.5 Disputes. Seller and Buyer shall work together in good faith to resolve any matters addressed in any Dispute Notice delivered pursuant to Section 3.4 or Section 3.6 hereof. If Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve all of the matters addressed in the Dispute Notice within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of such Dispute Notice to the other Party, either Party may, upon notice to the other Party, submit all unresolved matters addressed in the Dispute Notice to arbitration in accordance with this Section 3.5. Within ten (10) Business Days of a matter being submitted to arbitration by a Party in accordance with the preceding sentence, each of Buyer and Seller shall (a) summarize its position with regard to such dispute in a written document of 20 pages or less and (b) submit such summaries to the Houston, Texas office such Person as the Parties may mutually select (the “Accounting Arbitrator”), together with the Dispute Notice, the Final Settlement Statement and any other documentation such Party may desire to submit. If the Parties cannot agree on an Accounting Arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days after a Party’s election to submit such matters to arbitration under this Section 3.5, then either Party may request the Houston, Texas office of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) (or, if there is no such office, the office of the AAA serving Houston, Texas) to select the Accounting Arbitrator. Within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the Parties’ respective submissions, the Accounting Arbitrator shall render a decision choosing Seller’s position or Buyer’s position with respect to each matter addressed in any Dispute Notice, based on the materials described above. Without limiting Section 15.2(b), any decision rendered by the Accounting Arbitrator pursuant hereto shall be final, conclusive and binding on Seller and Buyer and enforceable against any of the Parties in any court of competent jurisdiction. The costs of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be borne equally between the Parties. 3.6 Allocated Values. Buyer and Seller agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Wells as set forth on Exhibit B-1 (the “Allocated Values”). Buyer and Seller agree that such allocation is reasonable and except to the extent result from the breach of any representation

8 or warranty contained herein of the other Party, shall not take any position inconsistent therewith. Seller, however, makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of such values. 3.7 Purchase Price Allocation. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and submit to Seller a proposed allocation of the Adjusted Purchase Price and any other items properly treated as consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes among the Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and, to the extent allowed under applicable federal income tax Law, in a manner consistent with the Allocated Values, within thirty (30) days after the date that the Final Settlement Statement is finally determined pursuant to Section 3.4 and Section 3.5 (the “Allocation”). As soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt of the proposed Allocation, Seller shall return to Buyer a Dispute Notice containing any proposed changes to the Allocation and an explanation of any such changes and the reasons therefor. Any changes not so specified in the Dispute Notice shall be deemed waived, and Buyer’s determinations with respect to all such elements of the Allocation that are not addressed specifically in the Dispute Notice shall prevail. If Seller fails to timely deliver a Dispute Notice to Buyer containing changes Seller proposes to be made to the Allocation, the Allocation as delivered by Buyer will be deemed to be correct and will be final and binding on the Parties and not subject to further audit or arbitration. If the Parties reach an agreement with respect to the Allocation, (i) Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to update the Allocation in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code following any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, report consistently with the Allocation, as adjusted, on all Tax Returns, including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement under Section 1060), which Buyer and Seller shall timely file with the IRS, and neither Seller nor Buyer shall take any position on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the Allocation, as adjusted, unless otherwise required by applicable Law; provided, however, that no Party shall be unreasonably impeded in its ability and discretion to negotiate, compromise and/or settle any Tax audit, claim or similar proceedings in connection with such allocation. 3.8 Allocation for Imbalances at Closing. If, prior to Closing, either Party discovers an error in the Imbalances set forth in Schedule 4.11, then the Purchase Price shall be further adjusted at Closing pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(v) or Section 3.2(b)(vi), as applicable, and Schedule 4.11 will be deemed amended immediately prior to Closing to reflect the Imbalances for which the Purchase Price is so adjusted. 3.9 R&W Insurance Policy. (a) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer to obtain a buyer-side representations and warranties insurance policy issued by an insurer or insurers reasonably acceptable to Buyer on such terms and conditions that are reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer (the “R&W Insurance Policy”), which insurance policy shall contain industry standard terms and conditions that are customary in transactions of this type, and shall have a limit of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate. Prior to the Execution Date, Buyer has provided Seller with an executed copy of the Non-Binding Indication Letter for Buyer- Side R&W Insurance issued by Mergers & Acquisitions Insurance Group (AIG) dated January 27, 2022 for the R&W Insurance Policy.

9 (b) Seller shall be responsible for all premiums, fees, commissions, taxes, costs and expenses to obtain such R&W Insurance Policy up to the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), which amount, without duplication, shall be reflected as a reduction in the Purchase Price at Closing as provided in Section 3.2(b)(iv). Subject to such adjustment, Buyer shall pay when due all premiums, fees, costs and taxes payable under the R&W Insurance Policy. (c) Any R&W Insurance Policy costs in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) will be borne by Buyer (except for any attorneys’ fees, legal or other expenses incurred in connection therewith by Seller). (d) In connection with the foregoing, Seller has and will continue to provide such reasonable cooperation to Buyer and the R&W Insurance Policy insurer as reasonably requested thereby, including providing customary documentation required by the insurer. (e) The insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy shall expressly (i) name Seller as an additional insured and waive, and agree not to pursue, directly or indirectly, any subrogation rights against Seller (other than in the event of fraud by Seller) with respect to any claim made by any insured thereunder and (ii) agree that the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have no obligation to pursue any claim against Seller covering Liabilities incurred by Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or the Assignment. (f) The R&W Insurance Policy shall be issued contemporaneously with or promptly after the Closing (in accordance with the terms of the binder thereof provided to the Seller) and remain in full force and effect thereafter. The Parties agree to (a) comply in all material respects with and maintain the R&W Insurance Policy in full force and effect; and (b) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions necessary for the issuance of or continuance of coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy. No Party shall terminate, cancel, amend, waive or otherwise modify the R&W Insurance Policy or any of the coverage thereunder prior to, at or at any time after the Closing (and no party shall take any action or fail to take any action that could result in the foregoing). ARTICLE IV REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER Seller represents and warrants to Buyer the following: 4.1 Organization, Existence and Qualification. Seller is a limited liability company duly formed and validly existing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. Seller has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to own and operate its property (including the Assets) and to carry on its business as now conducted. Seller is duly licensed or qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company in all jurisdictions in which it carries on business or owns assets and such qualification is required by Law, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have or would not be reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.2 Authority, Approval and Enforceability. Seller has full limited liability company power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, the Transaction Documents to

10 which it is a party and the transactions contemplated herein and therein.

(a) From and after the Execution Date and up to and including the Closing Date (or earlier termination of this Agreement) but subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.1 and obtaining any required consents of Third Parties, including Third Party operators of the Assets (with respect to which consents Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to request), Seller shall afford to Buyer and its officers, employees, agents, accountants, consultants, attorneys and other authorized representatives (“Buyer’s Representatives”) reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the Assets and all Records in Seller’s possession and Seller shall provide Buyer and Buyer Representatives with access to an online data room containing executed copies of all the materials listed on the Schedules and Exhibits (such copies, the “Due Diligence Items”). The Due Diligence Items include, without limitation, executed copies of all Applicable Contracts, Permits held by Seller or by any Affiliate of Seller for the benefit of Seller. In addition, Seller agrees that, to the extent additional Due Diligence Items are discovered by, or otherwise become available to, Seller (or Seller becomes aware of any changes to the Due Diligence Items previously provided to Buyer) or Buyer requests any additional Due Diligence Items, Seller shall promptly

23 deliver or otherwise make such Due Diligence Items available to Buyer or its Buyer’s Representatives. (a) All investigations and due diligence conducted by Buyer or any Buyer’s Representative shall be conducted at Buyer’s sole cost, risk and expense and any conclusions made from any examination done by Buyer or any Buyer’s Representative shall result from Buyer’s own independent review and judgment. (b) From and after the Execution Date and up to and including the Environmental Claim Date, and subject to obtaining any required consents of Third Parties, including Third Party operators of the Assets (with respect to which consents Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to request), Buyer shall be entitled to conduct a Phase I environmental property assessment with respect to the Assets, to be conducted by a reputable environmental consulting or engineering firm approved in advance in writing by Seller; provided further that no environmental sampling or invasive activity or testing or operation of equipment by Buyer or Buyer’s Representatives may be performed without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole but reasonable discretion, and Seller shall have the right to be present during any stage of the assessment. Buyer shall give Seller reasonable prior written notice before gaining physical access to or otherwise inspecting or surveying any of the Assets, whether to conduct a Phase I environmental property assessment or otherwise, and shall coordinate any such access, inspections or surveys with Seller. Seller or its designee shall have the right to accompany Buyer and Buyer’s Representatives whenever they are on site on the Assets or otherwise inspecting or surveying the Assets. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer and Buyer’s Representative shall not have access to, and shall not be permitted to conduct any environmental investigations (including any Phase I environmental property assessment) with respect to, any Assets with respect to which Seller does not have the authority to grant access for such investigations; provided that Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain permission from any Third Party operators for Buyer to have such access; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to incur any Liability, expend any money, or provide any other consideration to any Third Party operators in order for Buyer to have such access. (c) Buyer shall (and shall cause Buyer’s Representative to) coordinate their environmental property assessments and inspections of the Assets with Seller and all Third Party operators to attempt to minimize any inconvenience to or interruption of the conduct of business by Seller or such Third Party operators. Buyer shall (and shall cause Buyer’s Representative to) abide by Seller’s, and any Third Party operator’s, safety rules, regulations and operating policies (including with respect to the COVID-19 virus) while conducting their due diligence evaluation of the Assets, including any environmental or other inspection, survey or assessment of the Assets and, to the extent required by any Third Party operator, execute and deliver any required confidentiality, indemnity and release agreement of any such Third Party operator, in each case, before conducting Buyer’s assessment on such Asset in accordance with this Section 10.1. BUYER HEREBY DEFENDS, INDEMNIFIES AND HOLDS HARMLESS EACH OF THE OPERATORS OF THE ASSETS AND THE SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES ARISING OUT OF, RESULTING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY COSTS, EXPENSES, DAMAGES OR FIELD VISIT, ENVIRONMENTAL PROPERTY ASSESSMENT OR OTHER DUE DILIGENCE ACTIVITY CONDUCTED BY BUYER OR ANY BUYER’S REPRESENTATIVE WITH

24 RESPECT TO THE ASSETS, EVEN IF SUCH COSTS, EXPENSES, DAMAGES AND LIABILITIES ARISE OUT OF OR RESULT FROM OR RELATE TO, SOLELY OR IN PART, THE SOLE, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, CONCURRENT OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT OR VIOLATION OF LAW OF OR BY AN OPERATOR OF THE ASSETS OR A MEMBER OF THE SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES, EXCEPTING ONLY LIABILITIES TO THE EXTENT ACTUALLY RESULTING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF A MEMBER OF THE SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES. (d) Buyer agrees to promptly provide Seller, but in no event less than five (5) days after receipt or creation, copies of all non-privileged final reports and any other results prepared by Buyer and/or any of Buyer’s Representatives which contain data collected or generated from Buyer’s and Buyer’s Representatives’ due diligence with respect to the Assets. Seller shall not be deemed by its receipt of such documents or otherwise to have made any representation or warranty, expressed, implied or statutory as to the condition of the Assets or to the accuracy of said documents or the information contained therein. (e) As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event promptly upon completion of Buyer’s due diligence, Buyer shall at its sole cost and expense and without any cost or expense to Seller or its Affiliates (i) repair all damage done to the Assets in connection with Buyer’s and Buyer’s Representatives’ due diligence, (ii) restore the Assets to the same condition as they were prior to commencement of Buyer’s and Buyers’ Representatives’ due diligence and (iii) remove all equipment, tools or other property brought onto the Assets in connection with Buyer’s and Buyer’s Representatives’ due diligence.

(f) During all periods that Buyer or any of Buyer’s Representatives are on the Assets or are in Seller’s or its Affiliates’ offices, Buyer shall maintain, at its sole cost and expense and with insurers reasonably satisfactory to Seller, policies of insurance of the types and in the amounts reasonably requested by Seller. Coverage under all insurance required to be carried by Buyer hereunder will (i) be primary insurance, (ii) list the Seller Indemnified Parties as additional insureds, (iii) waive subrogation against the Seller Indemnified Parties and (iv) provide for ten (10) Business Days prior notice to Seller in the event of cancellation or modification of the policy or reduction in coverage. Upon request by Seller, Buyer shall provide evidence of such insurance to Seller prior to entering the Assets. 10.2 Confidentiality. Buyer acknowledges that, pursuant to its right of access to the Records or the Assets, Buyer and Buyer’s Representatives (including Buyer's environmental consulting or engineering firm) will become privy to confidential and other information of Seller or its Affiliates and Buyer shall ensure that such confidential information shall be held confidential by Buyer and Buyer’s Representatives in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement except to the extent such confidential information must be used for disclosures otherwise made in satisfaction of any of the obligations under this Agreement, including disclosures made in connection with obtaining the R&W Insurance Policy, or to enforce any rights under this Agreement or under any other document or agreement related hereto. Buyer further agrees that, notwithstanding termination of the Confidentiality Agreement, if Closing does not

25 occur then Buyer shall not disclose to any Third Party the results of any Phase I or any other environmental assessment performed on the Assets under Section 10.1 except as required by Law. 10.3 Disclaimers.

(e) SELLER AND BUYER AGREE THAT, TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE EFFECTIVE, THE DISCLAIMERS OF CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 10.3 ARE “CONSPICUOUS” DISCLAIMERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY LAW. ARTICLE XI TITLE MATTERS; CASUALTY; TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS 11.1 Seller’s Title. (a) General Disclaimer of Title Warranties and Representations. Except for the special warranty of Defensible Title in the Assignment and without limiting Buyer’s remedies for Title Defects set forth in this Article XI and the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV and Section 11.1(b) of this Agreement, Seller makes no warranty or representation, express, implied, statutory or otherwise with respect to Seller’s title to any of the Assets, and Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any defect of title, including any Title Defect, with respect to any of the Assets (i) before Closing, shall be as set forth in Section 11.2(d) or if applicable, Section 14.1(b) and (ii) after Closing, shall be pursuant to the special warranty of Defensible Title of Seller in the Assignment. Buyer is not entitled to protection under (or have the right to make a claim against) Seller’s special warranty of Defensible Title in the Assignment for any Title Defect reported by Buyer under Section 11.2(a). (b) Special Warranty of Defensible Title. If Closing occurs, then effective as of the Closing Date until the expiration of the SWT Survival Period, Seller shall warrant in the Assignment Defensible Title to its interest in the Wells unto Buyer against every Person whomsoever lawfully claims the same or any part thereof by, through or under Seller and its Affiliates, but not otherwise, subject, however, to the Permitted Encumbrances. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the special warranty of Defensible Title set forth in the Assignment shall constitute a special warranty of title by, through and under Seller under the applicable laws of the State of Texas. (c) Recovery on Special Warranty of Defensible Title. (i) To assert a breach of Seller’s special warranty of Defensible Title in the Assignment, Buyer shall furnish Seller a claim notice meeting the requirements of Section 11.2(a) in all material respects setting forth such matters which Buyer intends to assert as a breach of Seller’s special warranty of Defensible Title in the Assignment at such time. For all purposes of this Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived, and Seller shall have no further Liability for, any breach of Seller’s special warranty of Defensible Title in the Assignment that Buyer fails to assert by a claim notice meeting the requirements of Section 11.2(a) in all material respects given to Seller on or before the expiration of the SWT Survival Period. Seller shall have a reasonable opportunity, but not the obligation, to cure any breach of the special warranty of Defensible Title in the Assignment asserted by Buyer.

28 (ii) Recovery on Seller’s special warranty of Defensible Title in the Assignment shall be limited to an amount (without any interest accruing thereon) equal to the reduction in the Purchase Price to which Buyer would have been entitled had Buyer asserted the defect giving rise to such breach of Seller’s special warranty of Defensible Title as a Title Defect prior to the Title Claim Date pursuant to Section 11.2. Seller shall be entitled to offset any amount owed by Seller to Buyer for Seller’s breach of the special warranty of Defensible Title with respect to any Well by the amount of any Title Benefits with respect to any Well (whether such Title Benefit is asserted before or after the Closing) unless such Title Benefit resulted in an increase to the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 3.2 or was used as an offset to any Title Defects under Section 11.2. 11.2 Notice of Title Defects; Defect Adjustments. (a) Title Defect Notices. Buyer must deliver no later than 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) on the date that is forty-five (45) days after the Execution Date (the “Title Claim Date”) claim notices to Seller meeting the requirements of this Section 11.2(a) (collectively the “Title Defect Notices” and individually a “Title Defect Notice”) setting forth any matters which, in Buyer’s good faith opinion, constitute Title Defects and which Buyer intends to assert as a Title Defect pursuant to this Section 11.2(a). For all purposes of this Agreement and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (except as provided in Section 11.1), Buyer shall be deemed to have waived, and Seller shall have no Liability for, any Title Defect which Buyer fails to assert as a Title Defect by a properly delivered Title Defect Notice received by Seller on or before the Title Claim Date. To be effective, each Title Defect Notice shall be in writing and shall include (i) a description of the alleged Title Defect and the Well, or portion thereof, affected by such alleged Title Defect (each, whether affected by an actual or alleged Title Defect, a “Title Defect Property”), (ii) the Allocated Value of each Title Defect Property, (iii) supporting documents reasonably necessary for Seller to verify the existence of such alleged Title Defect and (iv) the amount by which Buyer reasonably believes the Allocated Value of each Title Defect Property is reduced by such alleged Title Defect and the computations upon which Buyer’s belief is based. To give Seller an opportunity to commence reviewing and curing Title Defects, Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to give Seller, on or before the end of each calendar week prior to the Title Claim Date, written notice of alleged Title Defects discovered by Buyer during the preceding calendar week, which notice shall be preliminary in nature and supplemented prior to the Title Claim Date. From the Execution Date until the end of the SWT Survival Period, Buyer shall also, promptly upon discovery, furnish Seller with written notice of any Title Benefit which is discovered by any of Buyer’s or any of its Affiliate’s employees, title attorneys, landmen or other title examiners while conducting Buyer’s due diligence with respect to the Assets. (b) Title Benefit Notices. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver to Buyer on or before the Title Claim Date with respect to each Title Benefit a notice (a “Title Benefit Notice”) including (i) a description of the alleged Title Benefit and the Asset, or portion thereof, affected by such alleged Title Benefit (each, whether affected by an actual or alleged Title Benefit, a “Title Benefit Property”), and (ii) the amount by which Seller reasonably believes the Allocated Value of such Title Benefit Property is increased by such alleged Title Benefit and the computations upon which Seller’s belief is based. Except as provided in Section 11.1(c) and for Title Benefits of which Buyer is required to notify Seller pursuant to

29 Section 11.2(a), Seller shall be deemed to have waived all Title Benefits for which a Title Benefit Notice has not been delivered on or before the Title Claim Date. (c) Seller’s Right to Cure. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt, at its sole cost, to cure at any time prior to Ninety (90) days after Closing (the “Cure Period”), any Title Defect asserted by Buyer; provided, however, that if after pursuit of other remedies reasonably available to Seller to cure any such Title Defect, Seller reasonably believes that such Title Defect can be cured through a quiet title or similar proceeding, then the Cure Period with respect to such Title Defect shall be extended until such quiet title or similar proceeding is finally resolved (not to exceed ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Cure Period), notwithstanding Seller’s previous attempt to cure such Title Defect without the use of a quiet title or similar proceeding, so long as Seller initiates the quiet title or similar proceeding on or before the end of the Cure Period and diligently pursues such proceeding. During the period of time from Closing to the expiration of the Cure Period (or any extended period contemplated by this Section 11.2(c)), Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller, including by giving Seller reasonable access during normal business hours to all Records in Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ possession or control and by giving Seller reasonable access to the Assets, to the extent necessary or convenient to facilitate Seller’s attempt to cure any such Title Defects and subject to Seller abiding by Buyer’s, and any Third Party operator’s, safety rules, regulations and operating policies (including with respect to the COVID-19 virus) while attempting to cure such Title Defects. No reduction shall be made to the Purchase Price with respect to any Title Defect for which Seller has provided notice to Buyer prior to or on the Closing Date that Seller intends to attempt to cure the Title Defect during the Cure Period or dispute the existence of a Title Defect or the Title Defect Amount asserted with respect thereto under Section 11.2(j). An election by Seller to attempt to cure a Title Defect shall be without prejudice to its rights under Section 11.2(j) and shall not constitute an admission against interest or a waiver of Seller’s right to dispute the existence, nature or value of, or cost to cure, the alleged Title Defect. (d) Remedies for Title Defects. Subject to Seller’s continuing right to cure a Title Defect before the end of the Cure Period or dispute the existence of a Title Defect or the Title Defect Amount asserted with respect thereto before the end of the Cure Period, in the event that any Title Defect timely and effectively asserted by Buyer in accordance with Section 11.2(a) is not waived in writing by Buyer or cured during the Cure Period, Seller shall, at its sole option, elect to: (i) subject to the Individual Title Defect Threshold and the Aggregate Defect Deductible, reduce the Purchase Price or Final Price, as applicable, by the Title Defect Amount (not to exceed the Allocated Value of the applicable Title Defect Property) determined pursuant to Section 11.2(g) or Section 11.2(j); (ii) cure the alleged Title Defect pursuant to Section 11.2(c) before the end of the Cure Period; or (iii) if applicable, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4. If Seller fails to elect in writing one of the remedies set forth in Sections 11.2(d)(i) through 11.2(d)(iii) above prior to Closing with respect to any Title Defect, then Seller shall be deemed to

30 have elected (subject to Seller’s continuing right to cure a Title Defect before the end of the Cure Period or dispute the existence of a Title Defect and the Title Defect Amount asserted with respect thereto) the remedy in Section 11.2(d)(i). (e) Remedies for Title Benefits. With respect to each Title Benefit Property reported under Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(b), the Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount (the “Title Benefit Amount”) equal to the increase in the Allocated Value for such Title Benefit Property caused by such Title Benefit, as determined pursuant to Section 11.2(h) or Section 11.2(j). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement (i) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies provided by Seller for any individual Title Benefit for which the Title Benefit Amount does not exceed [***] (the “Individual Title Benefit Threshold”); and (ii) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies provided by Buyer for any Title Benefit that exceeds the Individual Title Benefit Threshold unless (A) the amount of the sum of (1) the aggregate Title Benefit Amounts of all such Title Benefits asserted by Seller that exceed the Individual Title Benefit Threshold exceeds (B) the Aggregate Benefit Deductible, after which point Seller shall be entitled to adjustments to the Purchase Price or other applicable remedies available hereunder, but only with respect to the amount by which the aggregate amount of such Title Benefit Amounts exceeds the Aggregate Benefit Deductible. (f) Exclusive Remedy. Except for Buyer’s remedy for a breach of Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Article IV or the corresponding representations and warranties in Seller’s Certificate and Buyer’s rights under Seller’s special warranty of title under Section 11.1(b), the provisions set forth in Section 11.2(d) shall be the exclusive right and remedy of Buyer with respect to Seller’s failure to have Defensible Title with respect to any Asset or any other title matter. (g) Title Defect Amount. The amount by which the Allocated Value of a Title Defect Property is reduced as a result of the existence of a Title Defect shall be the “Title Defect Amount” and shall be determined in accordance with the following methodology, terms and conditions: (i) if Buyer and Seller agree in writing on the Title Defect Amount, then that amount shall be the Title Defect Amount; (ii) if the Title Defect is an Encumbrance that is undisputed and liquidated in amount, then the Title Defect Amount shall be the amount necessary to be paid to remove the Title Defect from the Title Defect Property; (iii) if, with respect to any Title Defect affecting a Well, the Title Defect is the result of Seller’s Net Revenue Interest for such Title Defect Property as to a Subject Depth (for the productive life of such Title Defect Property) being less than the Net Revenue Interest set forth on Exhibit B for such Title Defect Property as to such Subject Depth, and the Working Interest set forth on Exhibit B for such Title Defect Property as to such Subject Depth is decreased (for the productive life of such Title Defect Property) in the same proportion as the decrease in Net Revenue Interest for such Title Defect Property as to such Subject Depth, then the Title Defect Amount shall be the product of (A) the Allocated Value of such Title Defect Property as to such

31 Subject Depth multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Net Revenue Interest decrease and the denominator of which is the Net Revenue Interest set forth for such Title Defect Property as to such Subject Depth on Exhibit B; (iv) if the Title Defect represents any matter other than described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 11.2(g), then the Title Defect Amount shall be determined by taking into account the Allocated Value of the Title Defect Property and the affected Subject Depths, the portion (including Subject Depths) of the Title Defect Property affected by the Title Defect, the legal effect of the Title Defect, the potential economic effect of the Title Defect over the life of the Title Defect Property, the values placed upon the Title Defect by Buyer and Seller and such other reasonable factors as are necessary to make a proper evaluation; (v) the Title Defect Amount with respect to a Title Defect Property shall be determined without duplication of any costs or losses included in another Title Defect Amount hereunder; and (vi) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XI, the aggregate Title Defect Amounts attributable to the effects of all Title Defects upon any Title Defect Property shall not exceed the lesser of: (A) the Allocated Value of such Title Defect Property and (B) the reasonable cost to cure such Title Defects. (h) Title Benefit Amount. The Title Benefit Amount resulting from a Title Benefit shall be determined in accordance with the following methodology, terms and conditions: (i) if Buyer and Seller agree in writing on the Title Benefit Amount, then that amount shall be the Title Benefit Amount; (ii) if, with respect to any Title Benefit affecting a Well, the Title Benefit represents an increase in Seller’s Net Revenue Interest for such Title Benefit Property as to a Subject Depth (for the productive life of such Title Benefit Property) and the Working Interest set forth on Exhibit B for such Subject Depth of such Title Benefit Property is increased (for the productive life of such Title Benefit Property) in the same proportion as the increase in Net Revenue Interest for such Subject Depth of such Title Benefit Property, then the Title Benefit Amount shall be the product of (A) the Allocated Value of such Subject Depth for such Title Benefit Property multiplied by (B) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is the Net Revenue Interest increase for such Subject Depth of such Title Benefit Property and (2) the denominator of which is the Net Revenue Interest set forth for such Subject Depth of such Title Benefit Property on Exhibit B; (iii) if the Title Benefit is of a type not described above, then the Title Benefit Amount shall be determined by taking into account the Allocated Value of Title Benefit Property and the affected Subject Depths, the portion (including Subject Depths) of such Title Benefit Property affected by such Title Benefit, the legal effect of the Title Benefit, the potential economic effect of the Title Benefit over the life of such Title Benefit Property, the values placed upon the Title Benefit by Buyer and Seller and such other reasonable factors as are necessary to make a proper evaluation.

32 (i) Title Defect Threshold and Deductible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (i) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies provided by Seller for any individual Title Defect for which the Title Defect Amount does not exceed [***] (the “Individual Title Defect Threshold”); and (ii) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies provided by Seller for any Title Defect that exceeds the Individual Title Defect Threshold unless (A) the amount of the sum of (1) the aggregate Title Defect Amounts of all such Title Defects asserted against Seller that exceed the Individual Title Defect Threshold (but excluding any such Title Defects cured by Seller), plus (2) the aggregate Remediation Amounts of all Environmental Defects asserted against Seller that exceed the Individual Environmental Defect Threshold (but excluding any Environmental Defect cured by Seller), exceeds (B) the Aggregate Defect Deductible, after which point Buyer shall be entitled to adjustments to the Purchase Price or other applicable remedies available hereunder, but only with respect to the amount by which the aggregate amount of such Title Defect Amounts and Remediation Amounts exceeds the Aggregate Defect Deductible. For the purposes of determining whether or not a Title Defect exceeds the Individual Title Defect Threshold, individual Title Defects will be determined on an asset-by-asset basis, and shall not be aggregated with other Title Defects under any circumstances, regardless of whether or not the same event, fact, circumstance or liability giving rise to such Title Defect occurs or is present across multiple assets. (j) Title Dispute Resolution. Seller and Buyer shall attempt to agree in writing on matters regarding (i) all Title Defects, Title Benefits, Title Defect Amounts and Title Benefit Amounts, and (ii) the adequacy of any curative materials provided by Seller to cure an alleged Title Defect (collectively, the “Disputed Title Matters”) prior to Closing (or, if Seller elects to attempt to cure pursuant to Section 11.2(c), then prior to the end of the Cure Period). If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree in writing by Closing (or by the end of the Cure Period if Seller elects to attempt to cure a Title Defect after Closing), the Disputed Title Matters shall be exclusively and finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.2(j). There shall be a single arbitrator, who shall be a title attorney or consultant with at least fifteen (15) years’ experience in oil and gas titles involving properties in the regional area in which the Title Defect Properties and/or Title Benefit Properties are located, as selected by mutual written agreement of Buyer and Seller within fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date or the end of the Cure Period, as applicable, and absent such agreement, by the Houston, Texas office of the AAA (the “Title Arbitrator”). Each of Buyer and Seller shall submit to the Title Arbitrator its proposed resolution of the Disputed Title Matter in writing. The proposed resolution of the Disputed Title Matter shall include the best offer of the submitting Party in a single monetary amount that such Party is willing to pay or accept (as applicable) to settle the Disputed Title Matter. The arbitration proceeding shall be held in Houston, Texas and shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Section 11.2(j). The Title Arbitrator’s determination shall be made within thirty (30) days after submission of the matters in dispute and, without limiting Section 15.2(b), shall be final and binding upon the Parties, without right of appeal. In making its determination, the Title Arbitrator shall be bound by the rules set forth in Section 11.2(g) and Section 11.2(h) and, subject to the foregoing, may consider such other matters as in the opinion of the Title Arbitrator are necessary or helpful to make a proper determination; provided, however, that the Title Arbitrator shall be limited to awarding only one or the other of the two proposed settlement amounts. The Title Arbitrator shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific Disputed Title Matter submitted by either Party and may not

33 award damages, interest or penalties to either Party with respect to any matter. The costs of the Title Arbitrator shall be borne equally between the Parties. To the extent that the award of the Title Arbitrator with respect to any Title Defect Amount or Title Benefit Amount is not taken into account as an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.3 or Section 3.4, then, within ten (10) days after the Title Arbitrator delivers written notice to Buyer and Seller of his award with respect to a Title Defect Amount or Title Benefit Amount, and subject to Section 11.2(i), the Parties shall account to each other in accordance with the terms of such award. Nothing herein shall operate to cause Closing to be delayed on account of any unresolved Disputed Title Matter arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section 11.2(j), and to the extent any adjustments are not agreed upon by the Parties in writing as of Closing, the Purchase Price shall not be adjusted therefor at Closing and subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price, if any, will be made pursuant to Section 3.4 or this Section 11.2. 11.3 Casualty Loss. (a) Intentionally removed. (b) If, after the Execution Date but prior to the Closing Date, any Asset is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (except to the extent Buyer has an indemnification obligation to Seller for such damage, destruction or casualty under Section 10.1(c)) or is taken in condemnation or under right of eminent domain (each a “Casualty Loss”), subject to Section 7.4, Buyer shall nevertheless be required to Close. Furthermore, subject to Section 7.4 and Section 8.4: (i) If there any losses to the Assets as a result of Casualty Losses that occur between the Execution Date and the Closing, Seller shall elect in writing to either (x) restore the Asset(s) affected by such Casualty Loss to substantially their condition as of the Execution Date as promptly as practicable following the Closing, (y) adjust the Purchase Price downward by the amount by the reasonable estimated losses to the Assets as a result of such Casualty Losses, or (z) exclude the affected Asset(s) from the transaction contemplated hereby and reduce the Purchase Price by the Allocated Value of such excluded Assets. In the event this clause (b)(i) is applicable, Seller shall retain all sums paid by Third Parties by reason of such Casualty Losses and all rights in and to any insurance claims, unpaid awards and other rights, in each case, against Third Parties arising out of such Casualty Losses. Further, in the event clause (b)(i)(x) above is applicable, Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller, including by giving Seller reasonable access to the affected Assets to the extent necessary or convenient to facilitate Seller’s efforts to restore such affected Assets. 11.4 Consents to Assign. With respect to each Consent set forth on Schedule 4.4, promptly after the Execution Date, and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the Execution Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a draft notice, and subsequent to Buyer’s reasonable approval thereof, shall send to the holder of each such Consent written notice in material compliance with the contractual provisions applicable to such Consent seeking such holder’s consent to the transactions contemplated hereby. (a) If Seller fails to obtain a Consent set forth on Schedule 4.4 prior to Closing and the failure to obtain such Consent would (i) cause the assignment to Buyer of the Assets (or

34 portion thereof affected thereby) to be void or voidable, or (ii) cause the termination of a Lease or Contract under the express terms thereof (a consent satisfying (i), or (ii) a “Hard Consent”), then (1) the Asset (or portion thereof) affected by such Hard Consent shall not be conveyed at the Closing, (2) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of such Asset (or portion thereof) excluded from the Assets conveyed at Closing, and (3) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Hard Consent applicable to the transfer of such Asset following the Closing provided, however, that no Party shall be required to incur any Liability or pay any money or provide other consideration to any holder of any such Hard Consent in order to obtain such Hard Consent. In the event that a Hard Consent (with respect to an Asset excluded pursuant to this Section 11.4(a)) that was not obtained prior to Closing is obtained within one hundred twenty (120) days following Closing, then, within ten (10) Business Days after such Hard Consent is obtained (x) Buyer shall purchase the Asset (or portion thereof) and any associated Assets (or portion thereof) that were so excluded as a result of such previously un-obtained Hard Consent and pay to Seller the amount by which the Purchase Price was reduced at Closing with respect to the Asset (or portion thereof) and any associated Assets so excluded (as such amount is appropriately adjusted in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement) and (y) Seller shall assign to Buyer the Assets (or portion thereof) and any associated Assets so excluded at Closing pursuant to an instrument in substantially the same form as the Assignment, in each case, pursuant to Section 9.5 (and the other terms and conditions herein) with respect to such Assets (or portion thereof) and any associated Assets so excluded at Closing. (b) If Seller fails to obtain a Consent set forth on Schedule 4.4 prior to Closing, and such Consent is not a Hard Consent, then the Asset (or portion thereof) subject to such un- obtained Consent shall nevertheless be assigned by Seller to Buyer at Closing as part of the Assets and Buyer shall have no claim against, and Seller shall have no Liability to Buyer for, the failure to obtain such Consent. (c) Prior to Closing, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Consents listed on Schedule 4.4; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to incur any Liability, pay any money or provide any other consideration to the holders of any Consent in order to obtain any such Consent. Subject to the foregoing, Buyer agrees to execute any documents in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer evidencing the assignment, assumption and/or attornment of any Applicable Contracts and provide Seller with any information or documentation that may be reasonably requested by Seller or the Third Party holder(s) of such Consents in order to facilitate the process of obtaining such Consents. 11.5 Preferential Purchase Rights. With respect to each Preferential Purchase Right set forth on Schedule 4.9, Seller, promptly after the Execution Date, and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the Execution Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a draft notice, and subsequent to Buyer’s reasonable approval thereof, shall use send to the holder of each such Preferential Purchase Right a notice in material compliance with the contractual provisions applicable to such Preferential Purchase Right with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. (a) In the event that any holder of a Preferential Purchase Right exercises such Preferential Purchase Right prior to the Closing, the Assets subject to such Preferential Purchase Right (as well as all other Assets as may be reasonably necessary to effect the exclusion of the

35 affected Asset due to any uniformity of interest provisions, unit agreements or other contractual or operational restrictions on the transfer of such affected Asset) shall be excluded from this Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be reduced at Closing by an amount equal to the aggregate Allocated Values of such affected Assets and, subject to Article IX, the Closing shall occur as to the remainder of the Assets (or interests therein). (b) In the event that any holder of a Preferential Purchase Right fails to exercise such Preferential Purchase Right prior to the Closing and the time period for exercise or waiver of such Preferential Purchase Right has not yet expired, the Assets subject to such Preferential Purchase Right (as well as all other Assets as may be reasonably necessary to effect the exclusion of the affected Asset due to any uniformity of interest provisions, unit agreements or other contractual or operational restrictions on the transfer of such affected Asset) shall be retained by the Seller and the Purchase Price shall be reduced at Closing by an amount equal to the aggregate Allocated Values of such retained Assets, and, subject to Article IX, the Closing shall occur as to the remainder of the Assets (or interests therein). (c) If, subsequent to the Closing, any Preferential Purchase Right is waived, or if the time period otherwise set forth for exercising such Preferential Purchase Right expires without exercise by the holders thereof, or such holder of such Preferential Purchase Right fails to consummate the purchase of the Assets covered by such Preferential Purchase Right in accordance with the terms of the Preferential Purchase Right, in each case prior to the expiration of the Cure Period, then Seller and Buyer shall effect a Closing pursuant to Section 9.5 (and the other terms and conditions herein) with respect to, and Seller shall transfer to Buyer, the Assets (or interests therein) subject to such Preferential Purchase Right and any related Assets which were excluded from the Closing as provided in this Section 11.5, and Buyer shall pay or provide to Seller an amount equal to the aggregate Allocated Values of such Assets (as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2). ARTICLE XII ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS 12.1 Notice of Environmental Defects. (a) Environmental Defects Notice. Buyer must deliver no later than 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) on the date that is forty-five (450) days after the Execution Date (the “Environmental Claim Date”) claim notices to Seller meeting the requirements of this Section 12.1(a) (collectively the “Environmental Defect Notices” and individually an “Environmental Defect Notice”) setting forth any matters which, in Buyer’s good faith opinion, constitute Environmental Defects and which Buyer intends to assert as Environmental Defects pursuant to this Section 12.1. For all purposes of this Agreement, but subject to Buyer’s remedy for a breach of Seller’s representation contained in Section 4.15 and the corresponding representation in the Seller’s Certificate, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived, and Seller shall have no Liability for, any Environmental Defect which Buyer fails to assert as an Environmental Defect by a properly delivered Environmental Defect Notice received by Seller on or before the Environmental Claim Date. To be effective, each Environmental Defect Notice shall be in writing and shall include (i) a description of the matter constituting the alleged Environmental Defect (including the applicable Environmental Law violated or implicated thereby) and the Assets

36 affected by such alleged Environmental Defect, (ii) the Allocated Value of the Assets (or portions thereof) affected by such alleged Environmental Defect, (iii) supporting documents reasonably necessary for Seller to verify the existence of such alleged Environmental Defect, and (iv) Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Remediation Amount (itemized in reasonable detail) that Buyer asserts is attributable to such alleged Environmental Defect. Buyer’s calculation of the Remediation Amount included in the Environmental Defect Notice must describe in reasonable detail the Remediation proposed for the alleged Environmental Defect and identify all assumptions used by the Buyer in calculating the Remediation Amount, including the standards that Buyer asserts must be met to comply with Environmental Laws. To give Seller an opportunity to commence reviewing and curing Environmental Defects, Buyer agrees to give Seller, on or before the end of each calendar week prior to the Environmental Claim Date, written notice of all alleged Environmental Defects discovered by Buyer during the preceding calendar week, which notice may be preliminary in nature and supplemented prior to the Environmental Claim Date. Buyer may not assert as an Environmental Defect any environmental condition disclosed in the schedules to this Agreement. (b) Seller’s Right to Cure. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt, at its sole cost, to cure at any time prior to the (i) Closing Date or (ii) if applicable under Section 12.1(c) below, the end of the Cure Period, any Environmental Defects of which it has been advised by Buyer. An election by Seller to attempt to cure an Environmental Defect shall be without prejudice to its rights under Section 12.1(f) and shall not constitute an admission against interest or a waiver of Seller’s right to dispute the existence, nature or value of, or cost to cure, the alleged Environmental Defect. (c) Remedies for Environmental Defects. Subject to Seller’s continuing right to dispute the existence of an Environmental Defect or the Remediation Amount asserted with respect thereto, in the event that any Environmental Defect timely and effectively asserted by Buyer in accordance with Section 12.1(a) is not waived in writing by Buyer prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall, at its sole option, elect to: (i) retain the entirety of the Asset that is subject to such Environmental Defect, together with all associated Assets, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Value of such Asset and such associated Assets; (ii) cure the alleged Environmental Defect pursuant to Section 11.2(c) before the end of the Cure Period; or (iii) if applicable, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4. If Seller fails to elect in writing one of the remedies set forth in Sections 12.1(c)(i) through 12.1(c)(iii) above prior to Closing with respect to any Environmental Defect, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected the remedy in Sections 12.1(c)(i). (d) Exclusive Remedy. Except for Buyer’s remedy for a breach of Seller’s representation contained in Section 4.15 or the corresponding representation in Seller’s Certificate, the provisions set forth in Section 12.1(c) shall be the exclusive right and remedy of Buyer with respect to any Environmental Defect with respect to any Asset or other environmental matter.

37 (e) Environmental Deductibles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies provided by Seller for any individual Environmental Defect for which the Remediation Amount does not exceed $50,000 (the “Individual Environmental Defect Threshold”); and (ii) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies provided by Seller for any Environmental Defect for which the Remediation Amount exceeds the Individual Environmental Defect Threshold unless (A) the amount of the sum of (1) the aggregate Remediation Amounts of all such Environmental Defects asserted against Seller that exceed the Individual Environmental Defect Threshold (but excluding any Environmental Defects cured by Seller), plus (2) the aggregate Title Defect Amounts of all Title Defects asserted against Seller that exceed the Individual Title Defect Threshold (but excluding any Title Defects cured by Seller), exceeds (B) the Aggregate Defect Deductible, after which point Buyer shall be entitled to adjustments to the Purchase Price or other applicable remedies available hereunder, but only with respect to the amount by which the aggregate amount of such Remediation Amounts and Title Defect Amounts exceeds the Aggregate Defect Deductible. For the avoidance of doubt, if Seller retains any Assets pursuant to Section Error! Unknown switch argument.(c)(i), the Remediation Amounts relating to such retained Assets will not count towards the Aggregate Defect Deductible. (f) Environmental Dispute Resolution. Seller and Buyer shall attempt to agree in writing on all Environmental Defects and Remediation Amounts prior to Closing. If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree in writing by Closing, the Environmental Defects and Remediation Amounts in dispute shall be exclusively and finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to this Section 12.1(f). There shall be a single arbitrator, who shall be an environmental attorney or consultant with at least fifteen (15) years’ experience in environmental matters involving oil and gas producing properties in the regional area in which the affected Assets are located, as selected by mutual written agreement of Buyer and Seller within fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date, and absent such agreement, by the Houston, Texas office of the AAA (the “Environmental Arbitrator”). Each of Buyer and Seller shall submit to the Environmental Arbitrator its proposed resolution of Environmental Defects and Remediation Amounts for each Environmental Defect in writing. The proposed resolution shall include the best offer of the submitting Party in a single monetary amount that such Party is willing to pay or accept (as applicable) as the Remediation Amount for each Environmental Defect. The arbitration proceeding shall be held in Houston, Texas and shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Section 12.1. The Environmental Arbitrator’s determination shall be made within thirty (30) days after submission of the matters in dispute and shall be final and binding upon the Parties, without right of appeal. In making its determination, the Environmental Arbitrator shall be bound by the rules set forth in this Section 12.1 and, subject to the foregoing, may consider such other matters as in the opinion of the Environmental Arbitrator are necessary or helpful to make a proper determination; provided, however, that the Environmental Arbitrator shall be limited to awarding only one or the other of the two proposed settlement amounts. The Environmental Arbitrator, however, may not award Buyer any greater Remediation Amount than the Remediation Amount claimed by Buyer in its applicable Environmental Defect Notice. The Environmental Arbitrator shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific disputed Environmental Defects and Remediation Amounts submitted by either Party and may not award damages, interest or penalties to either Party with respect to any matter. The costs of the Environmental Arbitrator shall be borne equally between the Parties. To the extent that the award of the Environmental Arbitrator with respect to

38 any Remediation Amount is not taken into account as an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.3 or Section 3.4, then, within ten (10) days after the Environmental Arbitrator delivers written notice to Buyer and Seller of his award with respect to any Remediation Amount, and subject to Section 12.1(e), the Parties shall account to each other in accordance with the terms of such award. Nothing herein shall operate to cause Closing to be delayed on account of any unresolved dispute involving Environmental Defects and/or Remediation Amounts or any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section 12.1(f), and to the extent any adjustments are not agreed upon by the Parties in writing as of Closing, the Purchase Price shall not be adjusted therefor at Closing and subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price, if any, will be made pursuant to Section 3.4 or this Section 12.1(f). 12.2 NORM, Asbestos, Wastes and Other Substances. Buyer acknowledges that (a) the Assets have been used for exploration, development and production of oil and gas and that there may be petroleum, produced water, wastes or other substances or materials located in, on or under the Assets or associated with the Assets; (b) equipment and sites included in the Assets may contain asbestos, NORM or other Hazardous Substances; (c) NORM may affix or attach itself to the inside of wells, materials and equipment as scale, or in other forms; (d) the wells, materials and equipment located on the Assets or included in the Assets may contain NORM, asbestos and other wastes or Hazardous Substances; (e) NORM containing material and other wastes or Hazardous Substances may have come in contact with various environmental media, including, water, soils or sediment; (f) special procedures may be required for the assessment, remediation, removal, transportation, or disposal of environmental media, wastes, asbestos, NORM and other Hazardous Substances from the Assets; and (g) notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the presence of NORM, asbestos-containing materials that are non-friable, Hydrocarbons or Hazardous Substances cannot be claimed as an Environmental Defect, except to the extent constituting a violation of Environmental Laws.

39 ARTICLE XIII ASSUMPTION; INDEMNIFICATION; SURVIVAL 13.1 Assumed Obligations. Without limiting Buyer’s rights to indemnity under this Article XIII, from and after Closing, Buyer assumes and hereby agrees to fulfill, perform, pay and discharge (or cause to be fulfilled, performed, paid and discharged) all obligations and Liabilities, known or unknown, arising from, based upon, related to or associated with the Assets, regardless of whether such obligations or Liabilities arose prior to, on or after the Effective Time, including obligations and Liabilities relating in any manner to the use, ownership or operation of the Assets, including obligations and Liabilities to (a) furnish makeup gas and settle Imbalances according to the terms of applicable gas sales, processing, gathering or transportation Contracts, (b) pay Working Interests, Burdens and other interest owners’ revenues or proceeds attributable to sales of Hydrocarbons, (c) pay the applicable Governmental Authority any amounts subject to escheat obligations pursuant to applicable Law, (d) Decommission the Assets, (e) clean up and remediate the Assets in accordance with Applicable Contracts and Laws, (f) perform all obligations applicable to or imposed on the lessee, owner or operator under the Leases and the Applicable Contracts, or as required by Law, and (g) all Property Expenses (all of said obligations and Liabilities being referred to as the “Assumed Obligations”); provided that Buyer does not assume any Excluded Liabilities. 13.2 Indemnities of Seller. Effective as of Closing, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.4 and Section 13.8 or otherwise in this Agreement, Seller shall be responsible for, shall pay on a current basis and hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, hold harmless and forever release Buyer and its Affiliates, and all of its and their respective equityholders, partners, members, directors, officers, managers, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Liabilities suffered or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party, whether or not relating to Third Party Claims or incurred in the defense of any of the same or in asserting, preserving or enforcing any of their respective rights hereunder, arising from, based upon, related to or associated with: (a) any breach by Seller of any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, the Assignment and/or the Seller’s Certificate; (b) any breach by Seller of any of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement; and (c) the Specified Liabilities and the Excluded Liabilities. 13.3 Indemnities of Buyer. Effective as of Closing, Buyer and its successors and assigns shall assume and be responsible for, shall pay on a current basis, and hereby defends, indemnifies, holds harmless and forever releases Seller and its Affiliates, and all of their respective equityholders, partners, members, directors, officers, managers, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Liabilities suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party, whether or not relating to Third Party Claims or incurred in the defense of any of the same or in asserting, preserving or enforcing any of their respective rights hereunder, arising from, based upon, related to or associated with:

40 (a) any breach by Buyer of any of its representations or warranties contained in Article V and/or the Buyer’s Certificate; (b) any breach by Buyer of any of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement; or (c) the Assumed Obligations. 13.4 Limitation on Liability. (a) (i) Neither Party shall have any Liability for any indemnification under Sections 13.2 for any individual Liability unless the amount with respect to such Liability exceeds [***] (the “De Minimis Threshold”), and (ii) Seller shall have no Liability for any indemnification under Sections 13.2 until and unless the aggregate amount of all Liabilities for which Claim Notices are delivered by the claiming Party that exceed the De Minimis Threshold exceeds the Indemnity Deductible, after which point the indemnifying Party shall only be liable for such indemnification to the extent such Liabilities that exceed the De Minimis Threshold exceed the Indemnity Deductible; provided that the limitations on Seller’s Liability in this Section 13.4(a) shall not apply to (w) Seller’s Liability for Specified Liabilities or Excluded Liabilities, (x) Seller’s Liability for breaches of its Fundamental Representations, the representations and warranties in Section 4.13 and the corresponding representations and warranties in Seller’s Certificate and the Assignment, (y) Seller’s Liability for breaches of any covenant to be performed at or following the Closing (including Liability for any payments to be made by Seller under Section 3.4 and Section 3.5) and (z) Seller’s Liability under Section 13.2(c) for the Seller Taxes and the Excluded Assets. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller’s aggregate Liabilities under this Agreement or otherwise shall not exceed [***] percent of the Purchase Price, reduced by any recoveries under the R&W Insurance Policy. (c) The obligations set forth in Section 13.2 and Section 13.3 shall not apply to (i) any amount that was taken into account as an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to the provisions hereof, (ii) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any Party’s costs and expenses with respect to the negotiation and consummation of this Agreement and the purchase and sale of the Assets and (iii) any amount that would result in a double recovery. (d) Each Party shall have a duty to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any claim that such Party has or may bring for indemnification in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. (e) The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery for Liability arising under Section 13.2 first, against the R&W Insurance Policy; provided, however, that subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, exhaustion of all such efforts by the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be a precondition to recovery of Liability by such Buyer Indemnified Parties in accordance with Section 13.2. To the extent that any indemnification claim pursuant to Section 13.2 (1) is not recoverable against the R&W Insurance Policy and arises from (A) any breach of, or any inaccuracy in, any Fundamental Representation or Excluded Liabilities or (B) Liability based on criminal matters or fraud, or (2) is excluded from

41 coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may seek satisfaction of its Liability for indemnification by pursuing such claim directly against Seller subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except as provided in the previous sentence, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties in respect of any indemnified Claims under this Agreement which are recoverable under the R&W Insurance Policy shall be limited to recoveries under the R&W Insurance Policy. 13.5 Express Negligence. THE DEFENSE, INDEMNIFICATION, HOLD HARMLESS, RELEASE AND ASSUMED OBLIGATIONS PROVISIONS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE APPLICABLE WHETHER OR NOT THE LIABILITIES IN QUESTION AROSE OR RESULTED SOLELY OR IN PART FROM THE GROSS, SOLE, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, CONCURRENT OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT OR VIOLATION OF LAW OF OR BY ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY. BUYER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS STATEMENT COMPLIES WITH THE EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE AND IS “CONSPICUOUS.” 13.6 Exclusive Remedy. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Parties agree that, from and after Closing, Section 6.2, Section 10.1(c), Section 11.1(b), this Article XIII and Section 15.16, as applicable, contain the Parties’ exclusive remedies against each other with respect to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (whether in contract, tort or otherwise), including breaches of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document. Except as specified in Section 6.2, Section 10.1(c), Section 11.1(b), this Article XIII, Section 15.16, effective as of Closing, the Parties on their own behalf and on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties, respectively, hereby release, remise and forever discharge the Seller Indemnified Parties and Buyer Indemnified Parties, respectively, from any and all suits, legal or administrative proceedings, Liabilities or interest whatsoever, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, known or unknown, which Buyer or the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller or Seller Indemnified Parties might now or subsequently have, based on, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the ownership, use or operation of any of the Assets prior to, on or after Closing or the condition, quality, status or nature of any of the Assets prior to, on or after Closing, including rights to contribution under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, any similar Environmental Laws, breaches of statutory or implied warranties, nuisance or other tort actions, rights to punitive damages, common law rights of contribution and rights under insurance maintained by either Party or any of their Affiliates except as otherwise provided in Section 11.3. 13.7 Indemnification Procedures. All claims for indemnification under Section 10.1(c), Section 13.2 and Section 13.3 shall be asserted and resolved as follows: (a) In General. For purposes of Section 10.1(c) and this Article XIII, the term “Indemnifying Party” when used in connection with particular Liabilities shall mean the Party having an obligation to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Party or Buyer Indemnified Party, as

42 applicable, with respect to such Liabilities pursuant to Section 10.1(c) or this Article XIII, and the term “Indemnified Party” when used in connection with particular Liabilities shall mean the Seller Indemnified Party or Buyer Indemnified Party, as applicable, having the right to be indemnified with respect to such Liabilities by Buyer or Seller, as applicable, pursuant to Section 10.1(c) or this Article XIII. (b) Claims Procedure. To make claim for indemnification under Section 10.1(c), Section 13.2 or Section 13.3, an Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of its claim under this Section 13.7, including the specific details of and specific basis under this Agreement for its claim (the “Claim Notice”). In the event that the claim for indemnification is based upon a claim by a Third Party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall provide its Claim Notice promptly after the Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of the Third Party Claim and shall enclose a copy of all papers (if any) served with respect to the Third Party Claim; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice of a Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 13.7(b) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 10.1(c), Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 (as applicable) except to the extent such failure results in insufficient time being available to permit the Indemnifying Party to effectively defend against the Third Party Claim or otherwise materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against the Third Party Claim. In the event that the claim for indemnification is based upon an inaccuracy or breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, the Indemnified Party shall provide its Claim Notice promptly after the Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach and shall specify the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that was inaccurate or breached. (c) Third Party Claims. (i) In the case of a claim for indemnification based upon a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice relating thereto to notify the Indemnified Party whether it admits or denies its Liability to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party is authorized, prior to and during such thirty (30) day period (or, if earlier, until the Indemnifying Party admits its Liability to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim) to file any motion, answer or other pleading that it shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and that is not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. (ii) If the Indemnifying Party admits its Liability to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, it shall have the right and obligation to diligently defend, at its sole cost and expense, the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim, and shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, at its own expense, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 13.7(c)(ii). An Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (i) settle any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto which does not include an unconditional

43 written release of the Indemnified Party from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (ii) settle any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto in any manner that may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party (other than as a result of money damages covered by the indemnity hereunder). (iii) If the Indemnifying Party does not admit its Liability against a Third Party Claim or admits its Liability to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, but fails to diligently prosecute, indemnify against or settle the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend against and settle the Third Party Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (if the Indemnifying Party is determined to have indemnification Liability with respect to such matter), with counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choosing, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to admit its Liability and assume the defense of the Third Party Claim at any time prior to settlement or final determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Party has not yet admitted its Liability to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall send written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any proposed settlement and the Indemnifying Party shall have the option for ten (10) days following receipt of such notice to (1) admit in writing its Liability to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the Liability and if Liability is so admitted, either (A) consent to such settlement or (B) reject, in its reasonable judgment, the proposed settlement, or (2) deny Liability. Any failure by the Indemnifying Party to respond to such notice shall be deemed to be an election under subsection (2) above. (iv) To the extent the provisions of this Section 13.7 are inconsistent with Section 15.2(f), Section 15.2(f) shall control. (d) Direct Claims. In the case of a claim for indemnification not based upon a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to (i) cure the Liabilities complained of, (ii) admit its Liability for such Liability or (iii) dispute the claim for such Liabilities. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within such thirty (30) day period that it has cured the Liabilities or that it disputes the claim for such Liabilities, the Indemnifying Party shall conclusively be deemed to have denied Liability with respect to such matter, provided, however, that the failure to provide such written notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. If the Indemnifying Party does not admit or otherwise does deny its Liability against a claim for indemnification not based upon a Third Party Claim within the 30-day time period set forth in this Section 13.7(d), then the Indemnified Party shall diligently and in good faith pursue its rights and remedies under this Agreement with respect to such claim for indemnification or withdraw such claim. 13.8 Survival. (a) Seller’s Representations and Warranties. (i) Except as set forth in Section 13.8(a)(ii) or Section 13.8(c), Seller’s representations and warranties in Article IV, the corresponding representations and warranties in the Seller’s Certificate and the corresponding indemnity obligations of Seller under Section 13.2(a)

44 with respect to all such representations and warranties, shall expire and terminate at 5:00 p.m. Central time on the date that is [***] months after the Closing Date. (ii) Seller’s Fundamental Representations, the corresponding representations and warranties in the Seller’s Certificate and the corresponding indemnity obligations of Seller under Section 13.2(a) with respect to Seller’s Fundamental Representations, shall expire and terminate at 5:00 p.m. Central time on the date that is [***] months after the Closing Date. (b) Seller’s Covenants. Each of the covenants and performance obligations of Seller set forth in this Agreement that are to be complied with or performed by Seller at or prior to Closing (other than Section 15.2) and the corresponding indemnity obligations of Seller under Section 13.2(b) with respect to such covenants and obligations, shall expire and terminate at 5:00 p.m. Central time on the date that is [***] months after the Closing Date. All other covenants and performance obligations (other than Section 15.2) of Seller set forth in this Agreement and the corresponding indemnity obligations of Seller under Section 13.2(b) with respect to such covenants and obligations shall survive the Closing for the time period specified in the Agreement and, if not so specified, shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the later of (i) fully performed or (ii) [***] months after the Closing Date.

Any such termination pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be without prejudice to the rights and remedies under Section 14.2. 14.2 Effect of Termination.

ARTICLE XV MISCELLANEOUS 15.1 Appendices, Exhibits and Schedules. All of the Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules referred to in this Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference and constitute a part of this Agreement. Each Party to this Agreement and its counsel has received a complete set of Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules prior to and as of the execution of this Agreement. 15.2 Expenses and Taxes. (a) Transaction Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer or Seller in negotiating this Agreement and the Transaction Documents or in consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring the same, including, legal and accounting fees, costs and expenses. (b) Asset Tax Allocation.

48 (i) Seller shall be allocated and bear all Asset Taxes attributable to (1) any Tax period ending prior to the Effective Time and (2) the portion of any Straddle Period ending immediately prior to the Effective Time. Buyer shall be allocated and bear all Asset Taxes attributable to (A) any Tax period beginning at or after the Effective Time and (B) the portion of any Straddle Period beginning at the Effective Time. (ii) For purposes of determining the allocations described in Section 15.2(b)(i) above, (1) Asset Taxes that are attributable to the severance or production of Hydrocarbons (other than such Asset Taxes described in clause (3), below) shall be allocated to the period in which the severance or production giving rise to such Asset Taxes occurred, (2) Asset Taxes that are based upon or related to sales or receipts or imposed on a transactional basis (other than such Asset Taxes described in clause (1) or (3)), shall be allocated to the period in which the transaction giving rise to such Asset Taxes occurred, and (3) Asset Taxes that are ad valorem, property or other Asset Taxes imposed on a periodic basis pertaining to a Straddle Period shall be allocated between the portion of such Straddle Period ending immediately prior to the Effective Time and the portion of such Straddle Period beginning at the Effective Time by prorating each such Asset Tax based on the number of days in the applicable Straddle Period that occur before the date on which the Effective Time occurs, on the one hand, and the number of days in such Straddle Period that occur on or after the date on which the Effective Time occurs, on the other hand. For purposes of clause (3) of the preceding sentence, the period for such Asset Taxes shall begin on the date on which ownership of the applicable Assets gives rise to Liability for the particular Asset Tax and shall end on the day before the next such date. (iii) To the extent the actual amount of an Asset Tax is not known at the time an adjustment is to be made with respect to such Asset Tax pursuant to Section 3.2, Section 3.3 or Section 3.4, as applicable, the Parties shall utilize the most recent information available in estimating the amount of such Asset Tax for purposes of such adjustment. To the extent the actual amount of an Asset Tax (or the amount thereof paid or economically borne by a Party) is ultimately determined to be different than the amount (if any) that was taken into account in the Final Settlement Statement as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.4, timely payments will be made from one Party to the other to the extent necessary to cause each Party to bear the amount of such Asset Tax that is allocable to such Party under Section 15.2(b)(i). (c) Certain Tax Returns and Payment Mechanics. After the Closing Date, Buyer shall (i) be responsible for paying any Asset Taxes relating to any Tax period that ends before or includes the Closing Date that become due and payable after the Closing Date and shall file with the appropriate Governmental Authority any and all Tax Returns required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to such Asset Taxes, (ii) submit each such Tax Return to Seller for its review and comment reasonably in advance of the due date therefor, and (iii) timely file any such Tax Return, incorporating any comments received from Seller prior to the due date therefor. The Parties agree that (1) this Section 15.2(c) is intended to solely address the timing and manner in which certain Tax Returns relating to Asset Taxes are filed and the Asset Taxes shown thereon are paid to the applicable taxing authority, and (2) nothing in this Section 15.2(c) shall be interpreted as altering the manner in which Asset Taxes are allocated to and economically borne by the Parties (except for any penalties, interest or additions to Tax imposed as a result of any breach by Buyer of its obligations under this Section 15.2(c), which shall be borne by Buyer).

49 (d) Tax Refunds. Seller shall be entitled to any and all refunds of Asset Taxes allocated to Seller pursuant to Section 15.2(b), and Buyer shall be entitled to any and all refunds of Asset Taxes allocated to Buyer pursuant to Section 15.2(b). If a Party or its Affiliate receives a refund of Asset Taxes to which the other Party is entitled pursuant to this Section 15.2(d), such recipient Party shall forward to the entitled Party the amount of such refund within thirty (30) days after such refund is received, net of any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by such recipient Party in procuring such refund. (e) Recording Fees and Transfer Taxes. All required documentary, filing and recording fees and expenses in connection with the filing and recording of the assignments, conveyances or other instruments required to convey title to the Assets to Buyer shall be borne solely by Buyer. All sales, use, transfer, stamp, documentary, registration or similar Taxes, if any, incurred or imposed with respect to the transactions described in this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by Buyer. (f) Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes relating to the Assets. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are relevant to any such Tax Return or audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Agreement. The Parties agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Assets relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the respective taxable periods and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority. (g) Tax Contests. If, after the Closing Date, Buyer receives notice of an audit or administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to any Asset Tax or Tax Return with respect to Asset Taxes related to any taxable period ending prior to the Effective Time (a “Tax Contest”), Buyer shall notify Seller within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice. Seller shall have the option, at its sole cost and expense, to control any such Tax Contest and may exercise such option by providing written notice to Buyer within fifteen (15) days of receiving notice of such Tax Contest from Buyer; provided that if Seller exercises such option, Seller shall (i) keep Buyer reasonably informed of the progress of such Tax Contest, (ii) permit Buyer (or Buyer’s counsel) to participate, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, in such Tax Contest, including in meetings with the applicable Governmental Authority, and (iii) not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Tax Contest without the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If, after the Closing Date, Buyer receives notice of an audit or administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to any Asset Tax or Tax Return with respect to Asset Taxes related to a Straddle Period (a “Straddle Period Tax Contest”), Buyer shall notify Seller within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice. Buyer shall control any Straddle Period Tax Contest; provided that Buyer shall (x) keep Seller reasonably informed of the progress of such Straddle Period Tax Contest, (y) permit Seller (or Seller’s counsel) to participate, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, in such Straddle Period Tax Contest, including in meetings with the applicable Governmental Authority and (z) not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Straddle Period Tax Contest for which Seller would reasonably be expected to have an

50 indemnification obligation hereunder, or in connection with which Seller otherwise could be adversely affected, without the consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 15.3 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by either Party without prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that Buyer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including by merger, consolidation, by operation of law or otherwise), in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its Affiliates, or any Person acquiring all, or substantially all, of the assets of Buyer; provided that no such transfer or assignment will release Buyer of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of Seller to Buyer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its subsidiaries with notice to Seller but such assignment will not relieve the Buyer of its obligations and liabilities hereunder arising prior to such assignment. In the event the non- assigning Party consents to any such assignment, such assignment shall not relieve the assigning Party of any obligations and responsibilities hereunder, including obligations and responsibilities arising following such assignment. Any assignment or other transfer by Buyer or its successors and assigns of any of the Assets shall not relieve Buyer or its successors or assigns of any of their obligations (including indemnity obligations) hereunder, as to the Assets so assigned or transferred. 15.4 Preparation of Agreement. Seller and Buyer and their respective counsel participated in the preparation of this Agreement. In the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement, no presumption shall arise based on the identity of the draftsman of this Agreement. 15.5 Publicity.

53 provisions of this Agreement on its own behalf or on behalf of any of its related Indemnified Parties (but shall not be obligated to do so). 15.11 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing executed by both Parties. 15.12 Waiver; Rights Cumulative. Any of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties or conditions hereof may be waived only by a written instrument executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving compliance. No course of dealing on the part of Seller or Buyer or their respective officers, employees, agents or representatives and no failure by Seller or Buyer to exercise any of its rights under this Agreement shall, in each case, operate as a waiver thereof or affect in any way the right of such Party at a later time to enforce the performance of such provision. No waiver by any Party of any condition, or any breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or a waiver of any other condition or of any breach of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty.

(b) The Parties agree that the appropriate, exclusive and convenient forum for any disputes between any of the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be in any state or federal court in Houston, Texas and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts solely in respect of any proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible. 15.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all of such counterparts shall constitute for all purposes one agreement. Any signature hereto delivered by a Party by electronic transmission shall be deemed an original signature hereto. 15.16 Specific Performance. Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are special, unique and of extraordinary character and that, if any Party violates or fails or refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by it herein, the non-breaching Party may be without an adequate remedy at Law. If any Party violates or fails or refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by such Party herein, the non-breaching Party, subject to the terms hereof and in addition to any remedy at Law for damages or other relief permitted under this Agreement, may (at any time prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article XIV) institute and prosecute an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce specific performance of such covenant or agreement or seek any other equitable relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Closing does not occur in accordance with Section 9.1, and Buyer is obligated under the terms of this Agreement to close, or Seller has not terminated this Agreement after Buyer has an uncured breach of its obligations hereunder in any material respect, the Deposit will be retained by Seller as its sole and exclusive remedy and as liquidated damages and not as a penalty and this Agreement will terminate. 15.17 Affiliate Liability.
