14, 2018 (the “Due Diligence Period”).  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Title Defect” shall mean a deficiency which individually per Well exceeds Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($50,000) or individually per Lease exceeds Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($50,000) in one (or more) of the following respects (other than Permitted Encumbrances):

(a)                                 Adverse Claims — Seller’s title as to all or part of a Well or Lease is subject to (i) an outstanding mortgage which is not released on or before Closing; (ii) a deed of trust which is not released on or before Closing; (iii) any other lien or similar encumbrance which is not released on or before Closing; or (iv) a pending claim or cause of action in which a competing ownership interest in a Well or Lease is claimed or implied;

(b)                                 Decreased Net Revenue Interest - Seller owns less than the net revenue interest shown on Exhibit “B” for a particular Well as to the producing formation set forth on Exhibit “B” for such Well, or Exhibit “C-2” for a Lease, except for decreases (A) in connection with those operations in which Seller, with Buyer’s consent, may from and after the Execution Date become a non-consenting co-owner, (B) resulting from pooling, unitization, communitization or spacing matters or (C) in connection with any third party payouts of non-consent penalties;

(c)                                  Increased Working Interest - Seller owns more than the working interest shown on Exhibit “B” for a particular Well as to the producing formation set forth on Exhibit “B” for such Well, without a proportionate increase in the corresponding net revenue interest shown on Exhibit “B”; and

(d)                                 Fewer Net Mineral Acres — Seller owns fewer Net Mineral Acres than shown on Exhibit “C-2” for a given Lease except for decreases (A) in connection with those operations in which Seller, with Buyer’s consent, may from and after the Execution Date become a non-consenting co-owner, or (B) resulting from pooling, unitization, communitization or spacing matters;

provided, however, that no Title Defect shall be deemed to exist or shall be asserted by Buyer with respect to (i) any Well operated by Buyer (or any of its Affiliates), or (ii) any Lease in which Buyer (or any of its Affiliates) owns an interest, in each case, as of the Execution Date or at any point during the Due Diligence Period.

7.2                               Additional Interests - During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing if Buyer determines (or is made aware of the possibility) that Seller has (i) a lesser working interest (without a proportionate decrease in the corresponding net revenue interest) with respect to all or any part of any Well than shown on Exhibit “B”, (ii) a greater net revenue interest with respect to all or any part of any Well than that set forth in Exhibit “B” or all or any part of any Lease than that set forth in Exhibit “C-2,” as applicable, or (iii) a greater number of Net Mineral Acres in any given Lease shown on Exhibit “C-2” (collectively, such items shall be referred to as an “Additional Interest”).  At any point during the Due Diligence Period, Seller may notify Buyer in writing of any Additional Interest.

24

7.3                               Notices - Any Title Defect notice pursuant to Section 7.1 or Additional Interest notice pursuant to Section 7.2 shall include appropriate documentation to substantiate the applicable position and the estimated value of the Title Defect or Additional Interest.  To be effective, Buyer’s Title Defect and Additional Interest notices (or Seller’s Additional Interest notice) must be asserted in good faith, delivered in writing, and include (i) a description of the alleged Title Defect or Additional Interest as to the affected Lease or Well, (ii) the Allocated Value of the affected Lease or Well as well as the alleged amount of the Title Defect or Additional Interest being claimed in good faith, (iii) a brief description of the matter constituting the asserted Title Defect or Additional Interest and the basis for such Title Defect or Additional Interest, (iv) the computations for such Title Defect amount or Additional Interest amount, (v) to the extent then known by the claiming Party, the necessary curative for each Title Defect or documentation or evidence verifying such Additional Interest, and (vi) supporting documentation reasonably necessary for the Party to whom such notice has been delivered to verify the existence of such asserted Title Defect or Additional Interest.  If any such notice is not timely delivered, the claimant shall thereafter be deemed to have forever waived and shall have no right to assert such Title Defect or Additional Interest as the basis for an adjustment to the Base Purchase Price or make a Claim for any indemnity hereunder or breach of warranty pursuant to the Conveyances.

7.4                               Adjustments to Base Purchase Price - Upon timely delivery of a notice pursuant to Sections 7.1 or 7.2, either by Buyer or by Seller, Buyer and Seller shall meet on or before May 21, 2018 and use their reasonable commercial efforts to agree upon the validity of any claims for Title Defects or Additional Interests and the amount of any Base Purchase Price adjustment using the following criteria:

(a)                                 Liquidated Charges - If the adjustment is based upon a lien, encumbrance, or other charge upon a Well or Lease which is liquidated in amount or which can be estimated with reasonable certainty, then the adjustment shall be the sum necessary to be paid to the obligee to remove the encumbrance from the affected Well or Lease, but in no event will such adjustment exceed the Allocated Value of the affected Asset(s).

(b)                                 Ownership Variance - If the adjustment is based upon Seller owning a lesser or greater net revenue interest with a corresponding proportionate lesser or greater working interest in a Well than that shown on Exhibit “B”, then the adjustment shall be proportionate to the amount allocated to the affected Well on Exhibit “C-1.”  If the adjustment is based upon a lesser or greater net revenue interest without a corresponding proportionate lesser or greater working interest in a Well than that shown on Exhibit “B,” then the Parties shall use their best efforts to agree upon a mutually acceptable Base Purchase Price adjustment based upon the Allocated Value for such Well as set forth on Exhibit “C-1.”  If the adjustment is based upon a lesser or greater net revenue interest in a given Lease than that shown on Exhibit “C-2,” then the Parties shall use their best efforts to agree upon a mutually acceptable Base Purchase Price adjustment based upon the Allocated Value for such Lease as set forth on Exhibit “C-2.” Likewise, if the adjustment is based upon Seller owning a fewer or greater number of Net Mineral Acres in a Lease than that shown on Exhibit “C-2”, then the adjustment shall be

25

proportionate to the amount allocated to the affected Lease on Exhibit “C-2”.

(c)                                  Valuation of Title Defects and Additional Interests - If the adjustment is for an item other than as set forth in (a) or (b) above, Buyer and Seller shall endeavor to mutually agree on the amount of the Base Purchase Price adjustment.  If the Parties cannot agree to the existence of a Title Defect or Additional Interests or the applicable adjustment, the matter shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions in Section 20.3.  Any such item shall be referred to as an “Open Matter”.  Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of this Article 7, all adjustments applicable to Title Defects or Additional Interests shall be made prior to Closing which Closing shall be extended until resolution of any disputes relating to the Title Defects or Additional Interests; provided, however, that if adjustments for Title Defects, Environmental Defects, Casualty Defects and Open Matters (excluding Additional Interests), in each case that are alleged in good faith, do not, in the aggregate, exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Purchase Price, then Closing shall occur as to the other Assets that are not subject to the dispute (with the portion of the Assets subject to the dispute being excluded, and the Base Purchase Price reduced for the entire Allocated Values thereof) and Closing shall subsequently occur with respect to the Assets made the subject of the dispute within thirty (30) days following the final resolution of the dispute unless Seller elects exclusion of the affected Assets; provided that the Closing may also be delayed at Seller’s election in the event that Buyer seeks to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.6.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the amount of any Base Purchase Price adjustment for any Title Defect shall be determined without duplication of any costs or losses included in any other adjustments for Title Defects hereunder, or for which Buyer otherwise receives a downward adjustment in the Base Purchase Price.  For all Title Defects and Additional Interests, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, Seller shall (i) in the case of Title Defects, elect to either: (1) sell to Buyer the entire Well(s) or Lease(s) affected by the Title Defect but reduce the Base Purchase Price by the agreed upon amount associated with such Title Defect or (2) if, and only if, the amount of the Title Defect exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the Allocated Value of the Lease(s) or Well(s) subject to such Title Defect, exclude from this transaction any Well or Lease affected by the Title Defect and reduce the Base Purchase Price for the entire Allocated Value of the Well(s) or Lease(s) so excluded; provided, however, that if any such Well or Lease affected by the Title Defect is excluded from this transaction pursuant to this clause (2) and Seller cures the Title Defect to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction prior to one hundred eighty (180) days after Closing, Buyer shall purchase the said excluded Asset for its Allocated Value as of the Effective Time; or (ii) in the case of an Additional Interest, sell to Buyer the entire Well(s) or Lease(s) affected by the Additional Interest at the

26

original Allocated Value set forth on Exhibit “C-1” or Exhibit “C-2” attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇ or Leases as applicable, increased by the agreed upon amount associated with such Additional Interest.  If, after the end of the one hundred eighty (180) day cure period, Seller and Buyer are unable to agree on the existence or extent of any Title Defect (or cure thereof), Additional Interest or the amounts to be attributable thereto, such dispute(s) shall be exclusively and finally resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 20.3.

7.5                               Deductible for Title, Environmental, or Casualty Defects - Notwithstanding the provisions set forth above, no individual Title Defect, Environmental Defect, or Casualty Defect shall result in an adjustment to the Base Purchase Price unless the aggregate net value of the sum (as a deductible and not a threshold) of (a) all Title Defects agreed to by the Parties, (b) all Environmental Defects agreed to by the Parties, and (c) Casualty Defects are greater than three percent (3%) of the Base Purchase Price (the “Deductible Amount”).  In such event, the Base Purchase Price on the Closing shall be adjusted by the aggregate net value of the sum of (a) all Title Defects agreed to by the Parties, (b) all Environmental Defects agreed to by the Parties and (c) Casualty Defects, which collectively exceed the Deductible Amount.

7.6                               Termination Threshold for Defects - If, because of agreed Title Defects and Environmental Defects, Open Matters (excluding Additional Interests), Casualty Defects alleged in good faith, and removed or excluded Assets due to exercised Preferential Purchase Rights or un-obtained Required Consents, in the aggregate, the Base Purchase Price would be adjusted downward by an amount exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Purchase Price (the “Termination Threshold”) either Party may, upon written notice to the other Party, terminate this Agreement; provided that in the event the Termination Threshold is met, subject to Seller’s right to exclude an Asset under Sections 7.4(c) or 8.2(b), Seller may elect to delay Closing for a period of up to thirty (30) days and elect to cure Open Matters during such 30-day period or submit Open Matters to arbitration in accordance with Section 20.3.  Such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, who shall be a title attorney with at least ten (10) years’ experience reviewing oil and gas titles involving properties in any of the regional areas in which the Assets are located.  The arbitrator’s determination shall be made within fifteen (15) days after submission of Open Matters and shall be final and binding upon both Parties.

ARTICLE 8

ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY

8.1                               Acceptance of Environmental Condition - Buyer shall give Seller notice (an “Environmental Notice”) of any fact or circumstance that (i) causes a Well or any other Asset to be in violation of a currently existing Environmental Law as of the Execution Date, and (ii)  requires or would require a Lowest Cost Response, individually per Well or Asset, that exceeds Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($50,000) (“Environmental Defect”). Each Environmental Defect will be addressed as a single incident or condition, and the Environmental Defects shall not be aggregated on a per condition basis or otherwise (i.e., a condition found at all of the ▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be aggregated, but instead, shall be evaluated on a site-by-site basis). For the purpose of this

27

Agreement, an Environmental Notice, in each case, must comply with all of the following conditions precedent:

(a)                                 The Environmental Notice must be received by Seller promptly after discovery of the Environmental Defect by Buyer, but in any event on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period, and thereafter any such claim shall be deemed to have been waived;

(b)                                 The Environmental Notice must be based on credible and probative evidence substantiated in good faith by Buyer’s environmental experts (which may include internal employees or personnel of Buyer, its Affiliates or third parties) that shows it is more likely than not that there exists an Environmental Defect;

(c)                                  The evidence referred to in Section 8.1(b) must be fully described, substantiated in good faith by Buyer’s environmental experts, and in the case of documentary evidence, enclosed;

(d)                                 The Environmental Notice must reasonably describe the remediation and restoration required to remedy the Environmental Defect, or the potential damages claimed or likely to be claimed by a third party (the “Cleanup”), each as recommended or estimated in good faith by Buyer’s environmental experts; and

(e)                                  The Environmental Notice must state Buyer’s good faith estimate of the Lowest Cost Response.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Lowest Cost Response” means the response required or allowed under Environmental Laws that cures, remediates, removes or remedies the applicable Environmental Defect at the lowest cost sufficient to comply with the applicable Environmental Laws as compared to any other response that is required or allowed under Environmental Laws.  The Lowest Cost Response may include taking no action, leaving the condition unaddressed, periodic monitoring or the recording of notices in lieu of remediation, if such responses are allowed under Environmental Laws.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lowest Cost Response shall not include (and Seller shall have no liability for) (i) the costs of Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ employees, (ii) overhead costs of Buyer or its Affiliates, (iii) costs and expenses that would not have been required under Environmental Laws as they exist at the Execution Date, (iv) Losses, costs or expenses incurred in connection with remedial or corrective action that is designed to achieve standards that are more stringent than those required for similar facilities or that fails to reasonably take advantage of applicable risk reduction or risk assessment principles allowed under applicable Environmental Laws.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Loss” shall include any estimated Cleanup, costs, losses, expenses, liabilities (including civil fines), damages, demands, suits, sanctions, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, technical experts, consultants, and expert witnesses.

28

If Buyer does not provide Seller with an Environmental Notice within the period set forth above, then at Closing, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted such Well(s) in their current condition and to have forever waived Buyer’s right to assert an Environmental Defect with respect thereto.

8.2                               Remedy for Environmental Defects - If Buyer gives a valid Environmental Notice in accordance with Section 8.1, Seller may provide for one of the remedies in Section 8.2(a) with respect to the Environmental Defect that is subject to such Environmental Notice, but each such remedy, and the aggregate of all remedies, shall be limited in accordance with Section 7.5.

(a)                                 If Buyer delivers a valid Environmental Notice to Seller, then (i) Seller, at its election, shall have the option of (A) remediating the Environmental Defect and completing the Lowest Cost Response arising from such Environmental Defect, (B) contesting the existence of an Environmental Defect or Buyer’s estimate of the Lowest Cost Response associated with the Environmental Defect pursuant to Section 8.2(c), or (C) paying Buyer’s good faith estimate of the Lowest Cost Response associated with the Environmental Defect in the form of a reduction to the Purchase Price (an “Environmental Adjustment”), and (ii) if, and only if, Buyer’s estimate of the Lowest Cost Response exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the Allocated Value of the Well subject to such Environmental Notice, either Party, at its election, shall have the option of excluding the affected Well pursuant to Section 8.2(b).

(b)                                 Exclusion of Affected Well - Subject to the limitations of Section 8.2(a)(ii), at either Party’s option, an exclusion adjustment may be made in an amount equal to the Allocated Value of the affected Well which is the subject of a valid Environmental Notice.  In such event Seller shall retain the affected Well and the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of such affected Well.

(c)                                  Contested Environmental Defects - If Seller contests the existence of any Environmental Defect or Buyer’s estimate of the Lowest Cost Response associated with such Environmental Defect, Seller shall notify Buyer no later than three (3) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of the Environmental Notice.  The notice shall state the basis for Seller’s contest of the Environmental Defect or the Lowest Cost Response.  By no later than four (4) Business Days before Closing, representatives of Seller and Buyer, knowledgeable in environmental matters, shall meet in person or otherwise, and, at least two (2) Business Days prior to Closing, either: (i) agree to reject the Environmental Defect, in which case Buyer shall waive the Environmental Defect, or (ii) agree on the validity of the Environmental Defect and the estimated Lowest Cost Response, in which case Seller shall have the options described in Section 8.2(a) (except the right to contest) and Section 8.2(b).  If Seller and Buyer cannot agree on either option (i) or (ii) in the preceding sentence, the Environmental Defect or the estimated Lowest Cost Response subject to the Environmental Notice shall be

29

resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Section 20.3.  Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of this Section 8.2(c), all Environmental Adjustments shall be made prior to Closing, which Closing shall be extended until resolution of any disputes relating to the Environmental Defects; provided, however, that if adjustments for alleged Title Defects, Environmental Defects, Casualty Defects, Open Matters, and removed or excluded Assets due to exercised Preferential Purchase Rights or un-obtained Required Consents do not, in the aggregate, exceed the Termination Threshold, then Closing shall occur as to the other Assets that are not subject to the dispute (with the portion of the Assets subject to the dispute being excluded, and the Base Purchase Price reduced for the entire Allocated Values thereof) and Closing shall subsequently occur with respect to the Assets made the subject of the dispute within thirty (30) days following the final resolution of the dispute unless Seller elects exclusion of the affected Assets.  IT IS SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT ONCE AN ENVIRONMENTAL DEFECT HAS BEEN REMEDIATED AND THE LOWEST COST RESPONSE RELATED TO SUCH ENVIRONMENTAL DEFECT HAS BEEN COMPLETED OR AN ENVIRONMENTAL ADJUSTMENT HAS BEEN MADE, BUYER SHALL ASSUME ANY AND ALL FUTURE ENVIRONMENTAL OBLIGATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH ASSET.

(d)                                 Implementing Cleanup - If Seller elects to Cleanup or remediate an Environmental Defect pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), Seller shall select the means and methods of effecting the Cleanup or remediation to achieve the Lowest Cost Response for such Environmental Defect, provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to plug and abandon any currently unplugged ▇▇▇▇▇ unless required as part of the Lowest Cost Response.  Seller’s responsibility for remediation under this Section 8.2 shall be limited to a standard appropriate for the use of an Asset for oil and gas activities and in accordance with all applicable Laws.

8.3                               Acceptance of Environmental Condition - SUBJECT TO THE OTHER TERMS AND PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, UPON CLOSING, BUYER AGREES TO ACCEPT THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE ASSETS, INCLUDING COSTS TO CLEAN UP OR REMEDIATE; AND SUBJECT TO THE OTHER TERMS AND PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER HEREBY AGREES TO RELEASE SELLER FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY THEREFOR AND AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD SELLER HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION, FINES, EXPENSES, COSTS, LOSSES, AND LIABILITIES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS) IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OR BUYER’S FAILURE TO PROPERLY REMEDIATE THE CONDITION.  BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AFFIRMS THAT THE ASSETS HAVE BEEN UTILIZED FOR THE PURPOSE OF EXPLORATION, PRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF OIL AND GAS, AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS

30

AGREEMENT, AT CLOSING, THE ASSETS WILL BE ACQUIRED IN THEIR “AS IS, WHERE IS” ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION.  BY CLOSING, BUYER SHALL HAVE CONDUCTED AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OF THE PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE ASSETS, TO THE EXTENT BUYER DEEMS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE.

8.4                               NORM - Buyer acknowledges that the Assets have been used for exploration, development and production of oil, gas and water and that there may be petroleum, produced water, wastes or other materials located on, under or associated with the Interests.  Equipment and sites included in the Assets may contain NORM.  NORM may affix or attach itself to the inside of ▇▇▇▇▇, materials and equipment as scale, or in other forms; the ▇▇▇▇▇, materials and equipment located on or included in the Assets may contain NORM and other wastes or hazardous substances/materials; and NORM-containing material and other wastes or hazardous substances/materials may have been buried, come in contact with the soil or otherwise been disposed of on or around the Assets.  Special procedures may be required for the remediation, removal, transportation or disposal of wastes, asbestos, hazardous substances/materials, including hydrogen sulfide gas and NORM from the Assets.  From and after the Closing, Buyer shall assume responsibility for the control, storage, handling, transporting and disposing of or discharge of all materials, substances and wastes from the Assets (including produced water, hydrogen sulfide gas, drilling fluids, NORM and other wastes), whether present before or after the Effective Time, in a safe and prudent manner and in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws (as defined below).  The presence of NORM or asbestos-containing materials that are non-friable cannot be claimed as an Environmental Defect, except to the extent constituting a violation of Environmental Laws.

8.5                               Environmental Indemnities - EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 8, THIS SALE IS MADE ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” BASIS AND BUYER RELEASES SELLER FROM ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE ASSETS, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ATTRIBUTABLE TO SELLER’S NEGLIGENCE.  FROM AND AFTER CLOSING, SUBJECT TO THE OTHER TERMS AND PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER SHALL BE LIABLE TO SELLER FOR AND SHALL, IN ADDITION, INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, RELEASE AND HOLD SELLER HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, IN FAVOR OF ANY THIRD PARTY OR ENTITY FOR INJURY, ILLNESS OR DEATH OF ANY PERSON(S) OR FOR DAMAGE, LOSS, POLLUTION OR CONTAMINATION OF ANY REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY, GROUNDWATER OR THE ENVIRONMENT ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE ASSETS, INCLUDING CLAIMS ARISING UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS OR, FOR ANY OTHER CLAIMS ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM, OR INCIDENT TO, THE USE, OCCUPATION, OWNERSHIP, OPERATION, CONDITION (WHETHER LATENT OR PATENT), MAINTENANCE OR ABANDONMENT OF ANY OF THE ASSETS AND WHETHER ARISING FROM OR CONTRIBUTED TO BY THE ACTIVE, PASSIVE, JOINT, SOLE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, OR STRICT LIABILITY OF SELLER, OR SELLER’S CONTRACTORS OR SUBCONTRACTORS OR THE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES OF SELLER’S CONTRACTORS OR SUBCONTRACTORS, INCLUDING ANY STRICT LIABILITY UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY SUCH CLAIMS RESULT FROM ANY CONDITIONS, EVENTS, ACTIONS OR INACTIONS ARISING, OCCURRING OR ACCRUING PRIOR TO,

31

ON OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE TIME.  Buyer and Seller shall treat all information regarding any environmental conditions as confidential and shall not make any contact with any Governmental Authority or third party regarding same without the prior express written consent from the other Party unless such contact is required by applicable Law.

ARTICLE 9

THIRD-PARTY CONSENTS AND PREFERENTIAL PURCHASE RIGHTS

9.1                               Third Party Notices - Seller shall (i) request, from the appropriate parties (and in accordance with the Contracts creating such rights or requirements), any Consents, and (ii) send notices to all Persons or parties to whom such notices may be required for all options, rights of first refusal, or similar preferential purchase rights burdening any Asset(s) (each a “Preferential Purchase Right”), in compliance with the terms of the Contract(s) providing for or creating such Preferential Purchase Rights against the applicable Asset(s).  Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, but without obligation to incur any unreasonable cost or expense, to obtain waivers of, or to comply with, any such Preferential Purchase Right and Consents prior to Closing.

9.2                               Third-Party Exercise - Subject to Section 9.3, if a third-party (a) exercises a Preferential Purchase Right on any Asset(s) or (b) fails to respond to a notice of Preferential Purchase Right and the time period for election under such Preferential Purchase Right has not expired prior to the Closing Date, then the affected Asset(s) shall be removed from this Agreement and the Base Purchase Price shall be adjusted by the dollar amount allocated to the affected Asset(s) as set forth on Exhibits “C-1” or “C-2”.

9.3                               Third-Party Failure to Purchase - If an Asset is subject to a Preferential Purchase Right, and (a) such Asset was removed from this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(b) and the Preferential Purchase Right is waived or deemed waived after Closing or (b) a third-party that has exercised such Preferential Purchase Right (x) fails to close the purchase for any reason within sixty (60) days after Closing (or such longer period as may be provided for under the applicable Contract(s) creating such Preferential Purchase Right) and as a result such third-party no longer has any rights with respect to such Asset(s) or (y) otherwise forfeits its Preferential Purchase Right, Seller shall give written notice to Buyer of such waiver, failure to close, or forfeiture, as applicable, and Buyer shall purchase such Asset(s) for the Allocated Value therefor as set forth on Exhibits “C-1” or “C-2” and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including the Effective Time as set forth in this Agreement).

9.4                               Required Consents - If Seller fails to obtain a Required Consent set forth in Schedule 5.17 prior to Closing, then the Interest (or portion thereof) or Well (or portion thereof) affected by such un-obtained Required Consent shall be excluded from the Assets to be assigned to Buyer at Closing, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of such Interest (or portion thereof) or Well (or portion thereof) so excluded.  In the event that any such Required Consent that was not obtained prior to Closing is obtained within 120 days following the Closing Date, then, within ten (10) Business Days after such Consent is obtained, (a) Buyer shall purchase the Interest (or portion thereof) or Well (or portion thereof) that was so excluded as a result of such previously un-obtained Required Consent and pay to Seller the amount by which the Purchase Price was reduced at Closing with respect to the Interest (or portion thereof) or Well (or portion

32

thereof) so excluded and (b) Seller shall assign to Buyer the Interest (or portion thereof) or Well (or portion thereof) so excluded at Closing pursuant to an instrument in substantially the same form as the Conveyances.  In the event that any such Required Consent that was not obtained prior to Closing is still outstanding 120 days following the Closing Date, then, within ten (10) Business Days after the end of such 120 day period, (x) Buyer shall purchase the Interest (or portion thereof) or Well (or portion thereof) that was so excluded as a result of such un-obtained Required Consent and pay to Seller the amount by which the Purchase Price was reduced at Closing with respect to the Interest (or portion thereof) or Well (or portion thereof) so excluded, (y) Seller shall assign to Buyer the Interest (or portion thereof) or Well (or portion thereof) so excluded at Closing pursuant to an instrument in substantially the same form as the Conveyances, and (z) Seller shall indemnify Buyer pursuant to Section 16.4(g).  Prior to Closing, Seller and Buyer shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Required Consents listed in Schedule 5.17; provided, however, that neither Party shall be required to incur any liability or pay any money in order to obtain any such Required Consent.  Subject to the foregoing, Buyer agrees to provide Seller with any information or documentation that may be reasonably requested by Seller or the third party holder(s) of such Required Consents in order to facilitate the process of obtaining such Required Consents.

11.4                        Cooperation with Seller’s Retained Assets - Buyer agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate in connection with Seller’s removal of all personal property associated with the Retained Assets (to the extent applicable), including the equipment and personal property identified on Schedule 2.9 (if any).  Seller shall remove such retained personal property within thirty (30) days after Closing.

11.6                        Further Assurances - Buyer and Seller further agree that each shall, from time to time and upon reasonable request, use reasonable efforts to execute, acknowledge, and deliver in proper form, any instrument of conveyance, assignment, transfer, or other instruments reasonably necessary for transferring title in the Assets to Buyer or otherwise to implement the transactions contemplated herein.

ARTICLE 12

TAXES

12.1                        Property Taxes - All ad valorem taxes, property taxes, and similar Asset Taxes (“Property Taxes”) applicable to the Assets with respect to the calendar 2017 tax year shall be apportioned to Seller, whereas all Property Taxes applicable to the Assets with respect to the calendar 2018 tax period shall be apportioned to Buyer.  In the event that Property Taxes for any jurisdiction are determined with reference to a taxable year other than the calendar year, then such Property Taxes shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer by means of an allocation based on the number of days the Assets were owned by such Party.  The amount apportioned to Seller shall be based on the number of days the Assets were owned by them during the tax period in question in the calendar 2018 period, while the amount apportioned to Buyer shall be based on the number of days the Assets were owned by it in the calendar 2018 period.  Within ten (10) Business Days from receipt of notice, (i) Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any and all Property Taxes apportioned

38

to Seller under this Section 12.1 but paid by Buyer, and (ii) Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any and all Property Taxes apportioned to Buyer under this Section 12.1 but paid by Seller.

12.2                        Production Taxes - All Asset Taxes (other than Property Taxes) shall be apportioned between the Parties based upon the date on which the transaction giving rise to the imposition of such Asset Taxes occurred, with Seller being liable for all such Taxes with respect to transactions occurring prior to the Effective Time and Buyer being responsible for all such Taxes with respect to transactions occurring at and after the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, all production, severance and similar taxes based on or measured by the production of oil, natural gas, or other Hydrocarbons or minerals, or the receipt of proceeds therefrom, shall be considered imposed on the date such production was produced.  Within ten (10) business days from receipt of notice, (i) Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any and all Taxes apportioned to Seller under this Section 12.2 but paid by Buyer, and (ii) Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any and all Property Taxes apportioned to Buyer under this Section 12.2 but paid by Seller.

ARTICLE 13

OWNERSHIP OF ASSETS

13.1                        Distribution of Production - All oil in storage above the pipeline connection at the Effective Time shall be credited to Seller, less applicable royalties, overriding royalties and severance taxes.  For Seller-operated Assets, Seller has gauged the oil in storage as of the Effective Time.  For Seller non-operated Assets, the quantity of such oil in storage shall be determined on the same basis as that used for Seller-operated Assets based on operator reports or applicable state regulatory agency production reports or records.  As part of the Closing Settlement Statement, the price for such oil in storage shall be at the price that Seller has contracted to sell the oil at the Effective Time.  If there is no such price, the price shall be the average of the two (2) highest prices that are posted at the Effective Time (plus any premium) by other purchasing companies, as determined by Seller in the field or locality where the Assets are located for oil of like grade and gravity.  Subject to the occurrence of the Closing, title to the oil in storage for both Seller-operated and Seller non-operated Assets shall pass to Buyer as of the Effective Time, and an upward adjustment shall be made to the Base Purchase Price due at Closing, less applicable royalties, overriding royalties and severance taxes.

13.2                        Proration of Income and Expenses - Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all proceeds (including proceeds held in suspense or escrow), receipts, credits, and income attributable to the Assets for all production periods prior to the Effective Time shall belong

39

to Seller, and all proceeds, receipts, credits, and income attributable to the Assets for all production periods from and after the Effective Time shall belong to Buyer.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all costs, expenses, disbursements, and obligations attributable to the Assets for all production periods prior to the Effective Time shall be the obligation of Seller, and Seller shall promptly pay, or if paid by Buyer, promptly reimburse Buyer for and hold Buyer harmless from and against same.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all costs, expenses, disbursements and obligations attributable to the Assets for all production periods from and after the Effective Time shall be the obligation of Buyer, and Buyer shall promptly pay, or if paid by Seller, promptly reimburse Seller for and hold Seller harmless from and against same.

13.3                        Notice to Remitters of Proceeds - Buyer shall be responsible for informing all purchasers of production or other remitters to pay Buyer and obtain from the remitter revenues accrued and attributable to production periods after the Effective Time.  The remitter shall be informed by Seller and Buyer via Letters-in-Lieu of Transfer Order or such other reasonable documents which remitter may require.

13.4                        Production Imbalances - Set forth on Schedule 13.4 is a listing of all gas imbalance volumes known by Seller to exist as of the Effective Time derived from the most recent imbalance statement from the operator of each Well where a known imbalance exists measured in thousand cubic feet (“MCFs”) and the aggregate net volume of overproduction or underproduction, as applicable, with respect to the Assets.  As part of the Final Settlement Statement, the Base Purchase Price shall be adjusted, upward or downward as appropriate, to reflect the value of the difference between (a) the aggregate net volume of overproduction or underproduction associated with the Assets set forth on Schedule 13.4 and (b) the aggregate net volume of overproduction or underproduction associated with the Assets as of the Effective Time (the “Assumed Imbalances”).  The value of said difference between the aggregate net volume (less royalties, excess royalties and overriding royalties) of overproduction or underproduction, as applicable, shall be the product obtained by multiplying $2.00 by the volume of such difference in MCFs (such value, the “Imbalance Adjustment”).  Buyer shall not be entitled to any other Base Purchase Price adjustments with respect to the Assumed Imbalances and shall be solely responsible for any liability and solely entitled to any benefit from such production imbalances relating to the Assets, whether occurring before, on, or after the Effective Time.

13.5                        Pipeline and Other Non-Wellhead Imbalances - To the extent there exists any imbalances attributable to Hydrocarbons produced from the Assets as of the Effective Time with respect to any gas pipeline, storage or processing facility (the “Pipeline Imbalances”), at Closing the Base Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward or downward, as appropriate, to reflect the value of said Pipeline Imbalance.  The value of said Pipeline Imbalance shall be calculated by summing the product(s) obtained by multiplying the volume of each net over-position or under-position, as the case may be, measured in the same manner as it is measured by the pipeline, storage or processing facility, as applicable, by the value at which the Pipeline Imbalance was either cashed out, made up or sold, or if otherwise undeterminable then using existing fair market value of, or price for, said Hydrocarbons.  Buyer shall be solely responsible for any liability and solely entitled to any benefit from such pipeline imbalances relating to the Assets from and after the Effective Time; provided, that Buyer shall not be liable for any penalties or surcharges payable to the pipeline transport for periods prior to the Effective Time.  If the Pipeline Imbalance cannot be determined by Closing or if the pipeline storage or processing facility makes any adjustments

40

attributable to any period prior to the Effective Time after Closing but before the Final Settlement Statement, then the value adjustment associated with any imbalance will be made in connection with the Final Settlement Statement.

ARTICLE 14

INTERIM OPERATIONS

14.1                        Standard of Care - During the period from the Execution Date to Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) except for emergency action taken in the face of risk to life, property or the environment, not, without the prior written consent of Buyer,  approve or authorize any AFEs or capital expenditures over Fifty Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($50,000.00) net to the interest of Seller which are received by Seller with respect to any Assets, incur costs for discretionary expenditures for operations in excess of Fifty Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($50,000.00) net to the interest of Seller for which AFEs are not prepared; (ii) not transfer, sell, hypothecate, encumber, abandon or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Assets (other than the replacement or disposition of Equipment or the sale of Hydrocarbons attributable to the Interests or ▇▇▇▇▇, in each case, in the ordinary course of business or as required in connection with the exercise by third-parties of Preferential Purchase Rights); (iii) assist Buyer (without incurring any third party expenses) in preserving the present relationships related to the Assets with Persons having significant business relations therewith, such as suppliers, customers, brokers, agents or otherwise; and (iv) not waive, compromise or settle any material right or claim if such waiver, compromise or settlement would adversely affect the use, ownership or operation of any of the Assets in any material respect.

14.2                        Liability of Operator - Notwithstanding Section 14.1, Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for any claims, demands, causes of action, damages, or liabilities arising out of Seller’s operation of the Assets after the Effective Time, insofar as Seller continues to operate and maintain the Assets in accordance with applicable Law and contracts and reasonably prudent industry practice in the area in which the Assets are located, as well as in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (including Section 14.1 above), and insofar as no such Claims, demands, causes of action, damages, or liabilities relating to such interim operation are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller.

14.3                        Removal of Signs - Buyer shall promptly, but no later than required by applicable rules and regulations or thirty (30) days after Closing, whichever is earlier, remove any signs and references to Seller and shall erect or install all signs complying with any applicable governmental rules and regulations, including those showing Buyer or its Affiliates as operator of the Assets.

14.4                        Third-Party Notifications - Buyer shall make all notifications to all Governmental Authorities, “one call services” and similar groups associated with the operation of the Assets within ten (10) Business Days of Closing.  A copy of all such notifications shall be provided to Seller pursuant to the notice provisions contained in Article 18 hereof.

14.5                        Seller’s Credit Obligations - The Parties understand that none of the bonds, letters of credit, guarantees and insurance, if any, posted or owned by Seller with any Governmental Authority or third party and relating to the Assets, including those listed on Schedule 14.5,

41

(“Seller’s Credit Obligations”) are to be transferred to Buyer.  On or before the Closing Date, Buyer shall obtain, or cause to be obtained in the name of Buyer, replacements for Seller’s Credit Obligations described on Schedule 14.5.  If any Seller’s Credit Obligations remain outstanding as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall indemnify each member of the Seller Group and hold them harmless against any Losses that the Seller Group may incur under any such Seller’s Credit Obligations from and after the Effective Time.

14.6                        Employment Matters - From and after the Execution Date, Seller will assist Buyer in Buyer’s efforts to hire Seller’s field level employees whose duties relate to the operation of Assets to effectuate a smooth transition of the operation of the Assets by Buyer.  Within five (5) Business Days from the Execution Date, Seller will provide Buyer with a list (the “Available Employees List”) of all field level employees of Seller (the “Available Employees”), whose duties related to the operation of Assets as of the Execution Date, which list will include name, job title and start date, and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, salary ranges.  For the avoidance of doubt, if Seller does not include an employee of Seller in the Available Employees List, then Buyer shall be prohibited from hiring any such employee not listed in the Available Employees List for a period of twelve (12) months after Closing.  Buyer or its Affiliates shall provide offers of employment to the Available Employees on the Available Employees List that Buyer desires to hire, with each offer stipulating the date for commencement of work (the “Hire Date”).  Buyer shall provide Seller with notice of the names of those Available Employees to whom Buyer has made employment offers and who has accepted such offers contemporaneously with the making and acceptance of such offers.  The Available Employees that Buyer hires as of the Hire Date are referred to as the “New Employees.”  Any offers made by Buyer to any Available Employee shall be contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing. If the Closing does not occur and this Agreement is terminated, all such offers shall automatically terminate, and Buyer will not, unless acting in accordance with Seller’s prior written consent, hire any Available Employee for a period of two (2) years following such termination.  Furthermore, no Available Employee shall become a New Employee unless he or she (a) accepts Buyer’s offer of employment under the terms provided in Buyer’s offer, (b) passes any required pre-employment screening required by Buyer and (c) on the Hire Date, is actively at work.  Nothing in this Agreement shall require or be construed or interpreted as requiring Buyer to offer employment to any employee of Seller or to continue the employment of any employee of Seller (including any New Employees) following their respective Hire Date, or to prevent Buyer from changing the terms and conditions of employment (including compensation and benefits) of any of its employees (including any New Employees) following their respective Hire Dates.  Prior to the Hire Date of an Available Employee, Seller shall have the right to control and direct such Available Employee as to the performance of duties and as to the means by which such duties are performed, including the right to terminate the employment of any Available Employee.  Concurrently with Seller’s delivery of the Available Employees List, Seller shall inform Buyer of all employment and benefit matters relating to Available Employees prior to the Available Employees’ respective Hire Dates that, in the reasonable judgment of Seller’s management, could have a material impact on Buyer prior to taking any actions or making any decisions with respect to such matters, subject to applicable Law.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 14.6 are not intended to and shall not create or confer any third-party beneficiary rights respecting any Available Employee or New Employee.

42

In the event Buyer hires New Employees, Buyer shall have the option to purchase from Seller or assume the vehicle lease from Seller of any Vehicle(s) directly associated with such New Employees.  In such event the Parties shall work together to agree upon a mutually acceptable sale price or assumption of lease price for such Vehicle(s) and any such amounts shall be included as an upward adjustment in the Closing Settlement Statement or Final Settlement Statement as applicable.

ARTICLE 15

EXCHANGE PROVISION

Each of Seller and Buyer, respectively, shall have the right, prior to Closing, to elect to effect a tax-deferred exchange under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 (a “Tax Deferred Exchange”) for the Assets at any time prior to Closing.  If such Party elects to effect a Tax-Deferred Exchange, the other Party agrees to execute escrow instructions, documents, agreements or instruments to effect the exchange; provided, however, that the other Party shall incur no additional costs, expenses, fees or liabilities as a result of or connected with the exchange.  Each of Seller and Buyer, as the case may be, may assign any of its rights and delegate performance of any of its duties under this Agreement in whole or in part to a third party in order to effect such an exchange; provided, however, that each of Seller and Buyer shall remain responsible to the other Party for the full and prompt performance of its respective delegated duties.  The electing Party shall indemnify and hold the other Party and its Affiliates harmless from and against all claims, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), loss and liability resulting from its participation in any exchange undertaken pursuant to this Article 15 pursuant to the request of the electing Party.

(a)                                 General - All claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be asserted and resolved pursuant to this Section 16.7.  Any Person claiming indemnification hereunder is hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and any Person against whom such claims are asserted hereunder is hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.”

(c)                                  Notice Period - The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the personal delivery or receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party (i) whether or not it disputes its liability hereunder with respect to such Losses and (ii) with respect to any Losses arising out of, associated with, or relating to third party claims, whether or not it desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend the Indemnified Party against any such Losses.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Losses, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend all appropriate proceedings with counsel of its own choosing.  If the Indemnified Party

(d)                                 Cooperation - If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Losses that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, provided, that the Indemnifying Party will not be required to submit any counterclaim or cross-complaint on the Indemnified Party’s behalf.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and provision to the Indemnifying Party of all records and other information that are reasonably relevant to the Losses at issue.

(e)                                  Settlement - No third party claim that is the subject of indemnification hereunder may be settled or otherwise compromised without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.  No such claim may be settled or compromised by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement or compromise (i) entails a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party (and any other members of the Indemnified Party’s group, i.e., all Seller Indemnified Parties or all Buyer Indemnified Parties) without any admission or finding of fault or liability and (ii) does not impose on the Indemnified Party any material non-financial obligation or any financial obligation that is not fully paid by the Indemnifying Party.

ARTICLE 17

CASUALTY LOSS

If prior to Closing any of the Assets are substantially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (“Casualty Defect”), Seller shall notify Buyer promptly after Seller learns of such event.  Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such Casualty Defect by repairing such damage or, in the case of Equipment, replacing the damaged Equipment with equivalent items, no later than the Closing, insofar as the same are done to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction.  Subject to Section 7.6, if any Casualty Defect exists at Closing, at Seller’s option, Buyer shall proceed to purchase the damaged Assets, and the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by the aggregate reduction in value of all affected Assets on account of such Casualty Defect.  In the event the Parties cannot agree on the value, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Section 20.3.  Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of this Article 17, all adjustments applicable to Casualty Defects shall be made prior to Closing, and Closing shall be extended until resolution of any disputes relating to the Casualty

48

Defects; provided, however, that if adjustments for agreed Title Defects and Environmental Defects, Casualty Defects, Open Matters (excluding Additional Interests) alleged in good faith, and removed or excluded Assets due to exercised Preferential Purchase Rights or un-obtained Required Consents do not, in the aggregate, exceed the Termination Threshold, then Closing shall occur (subject to Section 7.6) as to the other Assets that are not subject to the dispute (with the portion of the Assets subject to the dispute being excluded, and the Base Purchase Price reduced for the entire Allocated Values thereof) and Closing shall subsequently occur as to the Assets made the subject of the dispute within thirty (30) days following the final resolution of the dispute.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 17, Seller shall be entitled to retain all insurance proceeds, if any, and claims against other parties relating to any such Casualty Defect.  For purposes of this provision, normal wear and tear shall not be considered a Casualty Defect.

ARTICLE 18

(a)                                 by the mutual written agreement of Buyer and Seller;

(b)                                 by written notice from either Buyer or Seller if Closing has not occurred on or before June 28, 2018; provided, however, that no Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 19.1(b) if such Party’s breach of its representations and warranties or its failure to comply with its obligations or covenants under this Agreement caused the Closing not to occur on or before the above date;

(c)                                  by Buyer, upon written notice to Seller, if there has been a material breach by Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement that has prevented the satisfaction of any condition to the Closing in Section 10.2 (or is of such a magnitude or effect that it will not be possible for any such condition to be satisfied) and, if such breach is of a character that it is capable of being cured, such breach has not been cured by Seller on or prior to the earlier of the date 10 Business Days after notice thereof from Buyer and the Closing Date;

(d)                                 by Seller, upon written notice to Buyer, if there has been a material breach by Buyer of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement that has prevented the satisfaction of any condition to the Closing in Section 10.1 (or is of such a magnitude or effect that it will not be possible for any such condition to be satisfied) and, if such breach is of a character that it is capable of being cured, such breach has not been cured by Buyer on or before the earlier of the date 10 Business Days after notice thereof from Seller and the Closing Date;

(e)                                  by either Buyer or Seller, upon written notice to the other Party, if any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction has issued a final, non-appealable order, decree, ruling or injunction (other than a temporary restraining order) or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such injunction shall have become final and non-appealable; or

20.7                        No Admissions - Neither this Agreement, nor any part hereof, nor any performance under this Agreement shall constitute or be construed as a finding, evidence of, or an admission or acknowledgment of any liability, fault, or past or present wrongdoing, or violation of any Law, rule, regulation, or policy, by either Seller or Buyer or by their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents.

20.8                        Waivers and Amendments - Except for waivers specifically provided for in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended nor any rights hereunder waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be charged with such amendment or waiver and delivered by such Party to the other Party claiming the benefit of such amendment or waiver.
