Section 6.2. Operation of the Properties and Material Elections. Seller will continue the operation of the Properties in the ordinary course of its business (or, where Seller is not the operator of a Property, will continue its actions as a non-operator in the ordinary course of its business), and will not sell or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Properties, except for sales or other dispositions of (i) Hydrocarbons in the ordinary course of business after production, or (ii) equipment and other personal property or fixtures in the ordinary course of business where the same has become obsolete, is otherwise no longer useful for the operation of the Properties, or is replaced by an item or items of at least equal suitability.

Section 8.1. Title Due Diligence Examination.

(a) For the period commencing with the date of this Agreement and ending at 5:00 p.m. (local time in New Orleans, Louisiana) on or before 12 calendar days after the Preferential Right Waiver(s) or July 15, 2022, which ever is later (the “Examination Period”), Seller shall extend to Buyer and its authorized representatives reasonable access (including weekends and holidays) to the office, personnel and Records of Seller in order for Buyer to conduct such examination as it may in its sole discretion choose to conduct with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties in order to determine whether Title Defects (as defined below) exist (“Buyer’s Title Review”). Such access to the Records shall exclude, however, any information that Seller is prohibited from disclosing by bona fide, third party confidentiality restrictions; provided, that if requested by Buyer, Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain a waiver of any such restrictions in favor of Buyer. The cost and expense of Buyer’s Title Review, if any, shall be borne solely by Buyer.

-14-

(b) If Buyer discovers any Title Defect affecting any of the Oil and Gas Properties, Buyer shall notify Seller within two Business Days of such discovery but in any event prior to the expiration of the Examination Period of such alleged Title Defect. To be effective, such notice (“Title Defect Notice”) must (i) be in writing, (ii) be received by Seller prior to the expiration of the Examination Period, (iii) describe the Title Defect in reasonable detail (including any alleged variance in the Net Revenue Interest or any alleged increase in the Working Interest without a proportionate increase in the Net Revenue Interest), (iv) identify the specific Oil and Gas Property affected by such Title Defect, and (v) include the value of such Title Defect as determined by Buyer in good faith and in reference to Schedule 2.5. Any matters that may otherwise constitute Title Defects, but of which Seller has not been specifically notified by Buyer in accordance with the foregoing, shall be deemed to have been waived by Buyer for all purposes. Upon the receipt of such effective Title Defect Notice from Buyer, Seller shall have the option, in addition to the remedies set forth in Section 8.1(c) (the “Remedies for Title Defects”), but not the obligation, to attempt to cure such Title Defect at any time prior to Closing. The Oil and Gas Property affected by an uncured Title Defect shall be a “Title Defect Property”.

(c) With respect to each Title Defect that is not cured on or before Closing, the Purchase Price shall be reduced, subject to this Article VIII, by the Title Defect Amount with respect to such Title Defect Property. The “Title Defect Amount” shall mean, with respect to a Title Defect Property, the amount by which such Title Defect Property is impaired as a result of the existence of one or more Title Defects, which amount shall be determined as follows:

(i) The Title Defect Amount with respect to a Title Defect Property shall be determined by taking into consideration the “Allocated Value” (as set forth in Schedule 2.5 attached hereto) of the Oil and Gas Property subject to such Title Defect, the portion of the Oil and Gas Property subject to such Title Defect, and the legal effect of such Title Defect on the Oil and Gas Property affected thereby; provided, however, that: (A) except as provided below in this Section 8.1(c) with respect to Oil and Gas Properties, if such Title Defect is in the nature of Seller’s Net Revenue Interest in an Oil and Gas Property being less than the Net Revenue Interest set forth in Schedule 2.5 hereto and the Working Interest remains the same, then the Title Defect Amount shall be equal to the Allocated Value for the relevant Oil and Gas Property multiplied by the percentage reduction in such Net Revenue Interest as a result of such Title Defect or (B) if such Title Defect is in the nature of a Lien, then the Title Defect Amount shall equal the amount required to fully discharge such Lien; and

(ii) If the Title Defect results from any matter not described in Section 8.1(c)(i), the Title Defect Amount shall be an amount equal to the difference between the value of the Title Defect Property affected by such Title Defect with such Title Defect and the value of such Title Defect Property without such Title Defect (taking into account the portion of the Allocated Value of the Title Defect Property).

-15-

(d) As used in this Section 8.1:

(i) “Defensible Title” means, as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties, such title and ownership by Seller that:

(A) entitles Seller to receive and retain, without reduction, suspension or termination, not less than the percentage, subject to the limitations, set forth in Schedule 2.5 as Seller’s Net Revenue Interest of all Hydrocarbons produced, saved and marketed from each mineral lease comprising such Oil and Gas Property as set forth in Schedule 2.5, through plugging, abandonment and salvage of all xxxxx comprising or included in such Oil and Gas Property, and except for changes or adjustments that result from the establishment of units, changes in existing units (or the participating areas therein), or the entry into of pooling or unitization agreements after the date hereof;

(B) obligates Seller to bear not greater than the percentage, subject to the limitations, set forth in Schedule 2.5 as Seller’s Working Interest of the costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operation of each mineral lease comprising such Oil and Gas Property, through plugging, abandonment and salvage of all xxxxx comprising or included in such Oil and Gas Property, and except for changes or adjustments that result from the establishment of units, changes in existing units (or the participating areas therein), or the entry into of pooling or unitization agreements after the date hereof;

(C) is free and clear of all Liens, except Permitted Encumbrances;

(D) reflects that all consents to assignment, notices of assignment or preferential purchase rights which are applicable to or must be complied with in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any prior sale, assignment or the transfer of such Oil and Gas Property, have been obtained and complied with to the extent the failure to obtain or comply with the same could render this transaction or any such sale, assignment or transfer (or any right or interest affected thereby) void or voidable or could result in Buyer or Seller incurring any liability; and

(E) is free of any imperfections that a reasonable prudent purchaser of oil and gas properties would not normally waive.

-16-

(ii) “Permitted Encumbrances” shall mean (A) Liens for taxes which are not yet delinquent or which are being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established; (B) normal and customary Liens of co-owners under operating agreements, unitization agreements, and pooling orders relating to the Oil and Gas Properties, which obligations are not yet due and pursuant to which Seller is not in default; (C) mechanic’s and materialman’s Liens relating to the Oil and Gas Properties, which obligations are not yet due and pursuant to which Seller is not in default; (D) Liens in the ordinary course of business consisting of minor defects and irregularities in title or other restrictions (whether created by or arising out of joint operating agreements, farm-out agreements, leases and assignments, contracts for purchases of Hydrocarbons or similar agreements, or otherwise in the ordinary course of business) that are of the nature customarily accepted by prudent purchasers of oil and gas properties and do not decrease the Net Revenue Interest, increase the Working Interest (without a proportionate increase in the Net Revenue Interest) or materially affect the value of any property encumbered thereby; (E) all approvals required to be obtained from Governmental Entities that are lessors under mineral leases forming a part of the Oil and Gas Properties (or who administer such mineral leases on behalf of such lessors) which are customarily obtained post-closing; (F) conventional rights of reassignment normally actuated by an intent to abandon or release a lease and requiring notice to the holders ofsuch rights; and (G) preferential rights to purchase and consent to transfer requirements of any non-Governmental Entity Person.

(iii) “Title Defect” shall mean any particular defect in or failure of Seller’s ownership of any Oil and Gas Property: (A) that causes Seller to not have Defensible Title to such Oil and Gas Property, (B) that has attributable thereto a Title Defect Amount in excess of $50,000, and (C) regarding which a Title Defect Notice has been timely and otherwise validly delivered. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the following matters shall not constitute, and shall not be asserted as, a Title Defect: (A) defects or irregularities arising out of lack of evidence of corporate authorization; (B) defects or irregularities that have been cured or remedied by the applicable statutes of limitation or statutes for prescription; or (C) changes or adjustments to Seller’s Working Interest and/or Net Revenue Interest in an Oil and Gas Property due to the occurrence of pooling or unitization affecting all or a portion of such Property.

(e) If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach an agreement as to whether a Title Defect exists or, if it does exist, the Title Defect Amount attributable to such Title Defect, the provisions of Section 12.1 shall be applicable.

Section 8.2. Environmental Due Diligence Examination.

(a) Buyer shall have the right to conduct, or the right to cause an environmental consultant (“Buyer’s Environmental Consultant”) to conduct, an environmental review of the Properties prior to the expiration of the Examination Period (“Buyer’s Environmental Review”). The cost and expense of Buyer’s Environmental Review, if any, shall be borne solely by Buyer, provided that Buyer will not be charged for Seller’s time attributable to Buyer’s Environmental Review. With respect to any samples taken in connection with Buyer’s Environmental Review, Buyer shall take split samples, providing one of each such sample, properly labeled and identified, to Seller. Seller shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with Buyer to facilitate Buyer’s Environmental Review.

-17-

(b) Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, Buyer shall (and shall cause Buyer’s Environmental Consultant, if applicable, to) treat confidentially any matters revealed by Buyer’s Environmental Review and any reports or data generated from such review (the “Environmental Information”), and Buyer shall not (and shall cause Buyer’s Environmental Consultant, if applicable, to not) disclose any Environmental Information to any Governmental Entity or other third party without the prior written consent of Seller. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, Buyer may use the Environmental Information only in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If Buyer, Buyer’s Environmental Consultant, if applicable, or any third party to whom Buyer has provided any Environmental Information become legally compelled to disclose any of the Environmental Information, Buyer shall provide Seller with prompt notice sufficiently prior to any such disclosure so as to allow Seller, at Seller’s expense, to file any protective order, or seek any other remedy, as it deems appropriate under the circumstances. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, Buyer shall deliver the Environmental Information to Seller, which Environmental Information shall become the sole property of Seller. Upon receipt from Buyer’s Environmental Consultant or upon Buyer’s preparation, Buyer shall provide copies of the Environmental Information to Seller without charge.

(c) If Buyer and/or Buyer’s Environmental Consultant, if applicable, discovers any On-site Environmental Defect (as herein defined) affecting the Properties or any Off-site Environmental Defect (as herein defined) prior to the expiration of the Examination Period, Buyer shall notify Seller prior to the expiration of the Examination Period of such alleged Environmental Defect. To be effective, such notice (an “Environmental Defect Notice”) must (i) be in writing, (ii) be received by Seller prior to the expiration of the Examination Period, (iii) describe the Environmental Defect in reasonable detail, including in the case of any On-site Environmental Defect, (A) the written conclusion of Buyer’s Environmental Consultant, if applicable, that an Environmental Defect exists, which conclusion shall be reasonably substantiated by the factual data gathered in Buyer’s Environmental Review, and (B) a separate, reasonably specific citation of the provisions of Applicable Environmental Laws alleged to be violated and the related facts that substantiate such violation, (iv) in the case of any On-site Environmental Defect, identify the specific Properties affected by such Environmental Defect, including a site plan showing the location of all sampling events, boring logs and other field notes describing the sampling methods utilized and the field conditions observed, (v) in the case of any On-site Environmental Defect, set forth the procedures recommended to correct the Environmental Defect, together with any related recommendations from Buyer’s Environmental Consultant, if applicable, and (vi) set forth a good faith estimate of the Environmental Defect Amount, including the basis for such estimate, for which Buyer would agree to adjust the Purchase Price in order to accept such Environmental Defect if Seller elected this Section 8.2 as the remedy therefor. If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach an agreement as to whether an Environmental Defect exists or, if it does exist, the Environmental Defect Amount attributable to such Environmental Defect, the provisions of Section 12.1 shall be applicable. Any matters that may otherwise constitute Environmental Defects, but of which Seller has not been specifically notified by Buyer in accordance with the foregoing, together with any environmental matter that does not constitute an Environmental Defect, shall be deemed to have been waived by Buyer for purposes of this Section 8.2. Upon the receipt of such effective notice from Buyer, Seller shall have the option, in addition to the remedy set forth in Section 8.2, but not the obligation, to attempt to cure such Environmental Defect at any time prior to the Closing.

-18-

(d) If any Environmental Defect described in a notice delivered and agreed to in accordance with Section 8.2 is not cured on or before the Closing, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced, subject to this Section 8.2 and the rights of Seller under Section 12.1, by the Environmental Defect Amount of such Environmental Defect.

(e) As used in this Section 8.2:

	(i)	“Environmental Defect” shall mean (i) with respect to a field, a violation of Applicable Environmental Laws in effect as of the date hereof in the jurisdiction in which such field is located (an “On-site Environmental Defect”) that requires an immediate remediation, or (ii) any liability under any Applicable Environmental Law with respect to offsite disposal of hazardous materials or substances or waste materials (an “Off-site Environmental Defect”), in either case regarding which an Environmental Defect Notice has been timely and otherwise validly delivered and that has attributable thereto an Environmental Defect Amount in excess of $50,000.00. It is specifically acknowledged and agreed that the presence in any wellbore, equipment, pipeline, flowline or vessel on or related to the Properties of naturally occurring radioactive material or asbestos shall not be deemed to constitute an Environmental Defect for purposes of this Agreement.
	(ii)	“Environmental Defect Amount” shall mean, (i) with respect to any On-site Environmental Defect, the net present value of the reasonably estimated costs and expenses to correct such Environmental Defect in the most cost effective manner reasonably available, consistent with Applicable Environmental Laws, taking into account that non-permanent remedies (such as mechanisms to contain or stabilize hazardous materials, including monitoring site conditions, natural attenuation, risk-based corrective action, institutional controls or other appropriate restrictions on the use of property, caps, dikes, encapsulation, leachate collection systems, etc.) may be the most cost effective manner reasonably available or (ii) with respect to any Off-site Environmental Defect, the amount that will be required to be paid by Seller to a third party in respect of a claim by such third party.

Section 8.3.Adjustments to Purchase Price for Title Defects and Environmental Defects.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made for Title Defects and Environmental Defects unless the aggregate of the Title Defect Amounts and Environmental Defect Amounts, as determined in accordance with this Agreement, equals or exceeds $100,000.00, in which event the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward by the amount of such Title Defect Amounts and Environmental Defect Amounts that exceed such amount.

-19-

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Seller is unable to cure a Title Defect or an Environmental Defect on or prior to Closing, Seller may, subject to the agreement of Buyer, by notice in writing to Buyer on or before Closing, attempt to cure such Title Defect or Environmental Defect subsequent to Closing (a “Post-Closing Defect”) within the 90-day period commencing on the Closing Date (the “Cure Period”). In such event, the transactions contemplated hereby will close as provided herein and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the applicable Title Defect Amount or Environmental Defect Amount in respect of such Post-Closing Defect as provided in Sections 8.1 and 8.2(a). If, during or upon the expiration of the Cure Period, Seller and Buyer mutually agree that a Post-Closing Defect has been cured, then within five Business Days after such determination, Buyer shall tender to Seller an amount equal to the Title Defect Amount and Environmental Defect Amount in respect thereof. If, during or upon the expiration of the Cure Period, Seller and Buyer are unable to agree whether there has been a satisfactory cure of a Post-Closing Defect, then such disagreement shall be resolved as provided in Section 12.1.

Section 8.4. Buyer Indemnification. BUYER HEREBY INDEMNIFIES AND SHALL DEFEND AND HOLD SELLER, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, CONTRACTORS, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CLAIMS ARISING FROM BUYER INSPECTING AND OBSERVING THE PROPERTIES: (I) CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURIES TO OR DEATH OF EMPLOYEES OF BUYER, ITS CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, CONSULTANTS, AND REPRESENTATIVES, AND DAMAGE TO THE PROPERTY OF BUYER OR OTHERS ACTING ON BEHALF OF BUYER, EXCEPT FOR INJURIES OR DEATH CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SELLER, ITS AFFILIATES THEREOF OR ITS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, CONSULTANTS, OR REPRESENTATIVES; AND (II) CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURIES TO OR DEATH OF EMPLOYEES OF SELLER OR THIRD PARTIES, AND DAMAGE TO THE PROPERTY OF SELLER OR THIRD PARTIES, TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF BUYER.

The representations and warranties of Buyer contained in Article V shall survive the Closing without limitation. The period, if any, for which a representation and warranty survives is called a “Survival Period”).

(b) No party hereto shall have any indemnification obligation pursuant to this Article XI or otherwise in respect of any representation, warranty or covenant unless (i) it shall have received from the party seeking indemnification written notice of the existence of the claim for or in respect of which indemnification in respect of such representation, warranty or covenant is being sought and (ii) with respect to a representation and warranty to which a Survival Period relates, such notice is received on or before the expiration of such Survival Period. Such notice shall set forth with reasonable specificity (i) the basis under this Agreement, and the facts that otherwise form the basis of such claim, (ii) the estimate of the amount of such claim (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) and an explanation of the calculation of such estimate, including a statement of any significant assumptions employed therein, and (iii) the date on and manner in which the party delivering such notice became aware of the existence of such claim.

-24-

Section 11.2. Seller’s Indemnification Obligations. Seller shall, on the date of Closing, agree (and, upon delivery to Buyer of the Conveyance, shall be deemed to have agreed), subject to the limitations and procedures contained in this Article XI or elsewhere in this Agreement, following the Closing, to indemnify and hold Buyer, its Affiliates and its and their respective successors and permitted assigns and all of their respective stockholders, partners, members, managers, directors, officer, employees, agents and representatives (collectively the “Buyer’s Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, obligations, actions, liabilities, damages or expenses (collectively, “Buyer’s Losses”) (a) resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement that survives Closing, or (b) relating to the Properties and attributable or relating to the time before the Effective Date or (c) relating to the Excluded Assets, or (d) relating to the Suspense Funds; provided, however, Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyer Indemnified Parties (i) for any claim under this Section 11.2, unless the claim is asserted, utilizing the procedures set forth in Section 11.4, on or before six months after the Closing Date, (ii) the amount of any such claim exceeds $50,000.00 (an “Eligible Claim”), (iii) the aggregate dollar amount of all Eligible Claims equals or exceeds $200,000.00, and then only to the extent of the dollar amount of such Eligible Claims in excess of $200,000.00, and (iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary as set forth in this Agreement, Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the sum of $1,000,000.00. Notwithstanding the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller will retain responsibility for and hold Buyer’s Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and damages related to all litigation matters identified in Schedule 4.6. Also notwithstanding the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller expressly subrogates Buyer to all rights, claims and causes of action Seller may have arising out of any latent or hidden defects in and to the Assets.

Section 11.3. Buyer’s Indemnification Obligations. Buyer shall, on the date of Closing, agree (and, upon delivery to Buyer of the Conveyance, shall be deemed to have agreed), subject to the limitations and procedures contained in this Article XI, following the Closing, to indemnify and hold Seller, its Affiliates and its and their respective successors and permitted assigns and all of their respective stockholders, partners, members, managers, directors, officer, employees, agents and representatives (collectively the “Seller’s Indemnified Parties”)harmless from and against any and all claims, obligations, actions, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses, (collectively, “Seller’s Losses”) (a) resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement or (b) relating to the Properties and attributable to the time after the Effective Date or (c) relating to the Assumed Obligations.

Section 11.4. Indemnification Proceedings. In the event that any claim or demand for which a party (an “Indemnifying Party”), would be liable to the another party under Section 11.2 or Section 11.3 (an “Indemnified Party”) is asserted against or sought to be collected from an Indemnified Party by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand, but the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article XI, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such claim or demand is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from receipt of the above notice from the Indemnified Party (in this Section 11.4, the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand; provided, that the Indemnified Party is hereby authorized prior to and during the Notice Period 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 not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any such claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its own expense and to participate in the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of such claim or demand (or fails to give notice to the Indemnified Party during the Notice Period), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such claim or demand with counsel of its own choice, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the claim or demand is asserted against both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and based on the advice of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party it is determined that there is a conflict of interest which renders it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for paying separate counsel for the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for paying for more than one separate firm of attorneys to represent all of the Indemnified Parties, regardless of the number of Indemnified Parties. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such claim or demand, (i) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

-25-

Section 11.5. Indemnification Exclusive Remedy. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI shall be the exclusive remedy of the parties hereto for any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in any closing document executed and delivered pursuant to the provisions hereof or thereof, or any other claim arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 11.6. Limited to Actual Damages. The indemnification obligations of the parties pursuant to this Article XI shall be limited to actual damages and shall not include incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive, or exemplary damages, provided that any incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive, or exemplary damages recovered by a third party (including a Governmental Entity, but excluding any Affiliate of any party) against a party entitled to indemnity pursuant to this Article XI shall be included in the damages recoverable under such indemnity.

Section 11.7. Indemnification Despite Negligence. It is the express intention of the parties hereto that each party to be indemnified pursuant to this Article XI shall be indemnified and held harmless from and against all damages as to which indemnity is provided for under this Article XI, NOTWITHSTANDING THAT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARISE OUT OF OR RESULT FROM THE ORDINARY, STRICT, SOLE, OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PARTY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY OTHER PARTY (INCLUDING THE OTHER PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT) IS OR IS NOT ALSO NEGLIGENT. The parties hereto acknowledge that the foregoing complies with the express negligence rule and is conspicuous.

Disputes to be resolved by an Independent Expert shall be resolved in accordance with mutually agreed procedures and rules and failing such agreement, in accordance with the rules and procedures for arbitration provided in Section 12.1(b). The Independent Expert shall be instructed by the parties to resolve such Dispute as soon as reasonably practicable in light of the circumstances. The decision and award of the Independent Expert shall be binding upon the parties as an award under the Federal Arbitration Act and final and non-appealable to the maximum extent permitted by law, and judgment thereon may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction and enforced by any party as a final judgment of such court.

(b) Any Dispute that is not resolved pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.1 shall be settled exclusively and finally by arbitration in accordance with this Section 12.1(b).

(i) Such arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement.

The parties shall instruct the arbitrators to impose time limitations they consider reasonable for each phase of such proceeding, including, without limitation, limits on the time allotted to each party for the presentation of its case and rebuttal. The arbitrators shall actively manage the proceedings as they deem best so as to make the proceedings fair, expeditious, economical and less burdensome than litigation. To provide for speed and efficiency, the arbitrators may: (i) limit the time allotted to each party for presentation of its case; and (ii) exclude testimony and other evidence they deem irrelevant or cumulative.

(vii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties expressly agree that the arbitrators shall have absolutely no authority to award consequential, incidental, special, treble, exemplary or punitive damages of any type under any circumstances regardless of whether such damages may be available under Louisiana law, or any other laws, or under the Federal Arbitration Act or the Rules.

(viii) The parties agree that there shall be no transcript of any hearing before the arbitrators. The parties shall request that final decision of the arbitrators be in writing, be as brief as possible, set forth the reasons for such final decision, and if the arbitrators award monetary damages to either party, contain a certification by the arbitrators that they have not included any incidental, special, treble, exemplary or punitive damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the arbitration proceeding and the arbitrators’ decision and award shall be maintained in confidence by the parties and the parties shall instruct the arbitrators to likewise maintain such matters in confidence.

-28-

(ix) The fees and expenses of the arbitrators shall be borne equally by Sellers and Buyer, but the decision of the arbitrators may include such award of the arbitrators’ fees and expenses and of other costs and attorneys’ fees as the arbitrators determine appropriate (provided that such award of costs and fees may not exceed the amount of such costs and fees incurred by the losing party in the arbitration).

(x) The decision and award of the arbitrators shall be binding upon the parties and final and non-appealable to the maximum extent permitted by law, and judgment thereon may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction and enforced by any party as a final judgment of such court.

¹ The BPO WI includes the 50% working interest relinquished by Mobil Oil Exploration & Producing Southeast Inc. (“MOEPSI”) for non-consenting operations in the TEPI #1 well. Upon payout of the non-consent penalty amount for the TEPI #1 well, the 50% working interest in such well shall automatically revert to MOEPSI. As of April 30, 2022, the balance for such non-consent penalty was $[   ]. The APO WI does reflect payout of MOEPSI’s non-consent penalty balance for the TEPI #1 well. Additionally, pursuant to that certain Joint Venture Agreement dated effective May 29, 2003, as amended, by and between Legacy Resources Co., L.P. (“Legacy”) and MOEPSI, Legacy is entitled to a 40% gross working interest in completions at productive intervals encountered above the P-1 formation, as encountered at a measured depth of 10,385’ in the Texas Company Miami Corp. #5 (13-14S-11W).

Pursuant to that certain Oil and Gas Lease dated effective December 5, 2001 from Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (“Chevron”), as Lessor, to MOEPSI, as Lessee, upon payout of the TEPI #1 well, Chevron may elect to increase the lessor’s royalty from 25% to 30%, or assume a 25% working interest in such well. This APO NRI interest is based on Legacy’s assumption that Chevron will elect to increase the lessor’s royalty as opposed to assume a 25% working interest. If Legacy’s assumption is incorrect, then the APO WI and APO NRI for this well will need to be revised accordingly. As of April 30, 2022, Chevron’s reversionary interest payout balance was $[    ]. Upon payout of MOEPSI’s non-consent penalty for the TEPI #1 well, assuming Chevron elects to increase the lessor’s royalty, the APO NRI for the TEPI #1 well shall be 35%.

Upon payout of the non-consent penalty amount for the Xxxxxxx Est #2 well, a 25% working interest in such well shall automatically revert to MOEPSI.
