Section 3.02 Defend Title. This Deed of Trust is, and always will be kept, a direct first priority Lien upon the Collateral;
provided that Permitted Liens may exist as provided in the Collateral Agency Agreement, but no intent to subordinate the priority of the Liens created hereby is intended or inferred by such existence. The Mortgagor will not create or suffer to be
created or permit to exist any Lien prior or junior to or on a parity with the Lien of this Deed of Trust upon the Collateral or any part thereof other than such Permitted Liens. The Mortgagor will warrant and defend the title to the Collateral,
subject to the Permitted Liens, against the claims and demands of all other Persons whomsoever and will maintain and preserve the Lien created hereby (and its priority) until the Release Date. If (i) an adverse claim be made against or a cloud
develop upon the title to any part of the Collateral other than a Permitted Lien or (ii) any Person, including the holder of a Permitted Lien, shall challenge the priority or validity of the Liens created by this Deed of Trust, then the
Mortgagor agrees to immediately defend against such adverse claim, take appropriate action to remove such cloud or subordinate such Permitted Lien, in each case, at the Mortgagors sole cost and expense. The Mortgagor further agrees that the
Mortgagee may take such other action as it reasonably deems advisable to protect and preserve its interest in the Collateral, and in such event the Mortgagor will indemnify the Mortgagee against any and all cost, attorneys fees and other
expenses which they may incur in defending against any such adverse claim or taking action to remove any such cloud.

Section 3.03 Not a Foreign Person. The Mortgagor is not a foreign person within the meaning of sections 1445 and
7701 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (i.e., the Mortgagor is not a non-resident alien, foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate as those terms are defined in such Code and any regulations promulgated
thereunder).

authority to grant, bargain, sell, assign, transfer, mortgage and convey a Lien on all of the Collateral in the manner and form herein provided.

transfer or otherwise dispose or abandon any of the Collateral before the Release Date except (i) for the sale, assignment, transfer and disposition of Hydrocarbons in the ordinary course of business, (ii) as consented to by a Dual-Vote
Majority and/or (iii) as otherwise contemplated by this Deed of Trust.

Section 3.06 Failure to Perform. The
Mortgagor agrees that if it fails to perform any act or to take any action which it is required to perform or take hereunder or pay any money which the Mortgagor is required to pay hereunder, the Mortgagee, in the Mortgagors name or its own
name, may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or cause to perform such act or take such action or pay such money, and any expenses so incurred by it and any money so paid by it shall be a demand obligation owing by the Mortgagor to the
Mortgagee, and the Mortgagee, upon making such payment, shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the Person receiving such payment. Each amount due and owing by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee pursuant to this Deed of Trust shall bear interest
from the date of demand on Mortgagor therefor until paid at the Default Rate.

ARTICLE IV

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

Section 4.01 Event of Default. A Triggering Event under the Collateral Agency Agreement shall be an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust.

Section 4.02 Foreclosure and Sale.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, to the extent provided by applicable law, the Mortgagee shall have the right and option to proceed with foreclosure by directing the Trustee to
proceed with foreclosure under power of sale which is hereby conferred and to sell all or any portion of such Deed of Trust Property at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such place or places and otherwise in such a manner and upon
such notice as may be required by law, or, in the absence of any such requirement, as the Mortgagee may deem appropriate, and to make conveyance to the purchaser or purchasers. Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, subject to any required
regulatory approvals, to sell the Deed of Trust Property, or any part thereof, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, with or without having taken possession of same. Any such sale (including notice thereof) shall comply with the
applicable requirements, at the time of the sale, of Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code or, if and to the extent such statute is not then in force, with the applicable requirements, at the time of the sale, of the successor statute or
statutes, if any, governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust. If there is no statute in force at the time of the sale governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of
trust, such sale shall comply with applicable law, at the time of the sale, governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust. Nothing contained in this Section 4.02 shall be construed so as to limit
in any way any rights to sell the Deed of Trust Property or any portion thereof by private sale if and to the extent that such private sale is permitted under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction or by public or private sale after entry of a
judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction so ordering. The Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee and the Mortgagee, with full power of substitution, to each be the Mortgagors attorney-in-fact and in the name and on behalf of
the Mortgagor, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to execute and deliver any deeds, transfers, conveyances, assignments, assurances and notices which the Mortgagor ought to execute and deliver and

do and perform any and all such acts and things which the Mortgagor ought to do and perform under the covenants herein contained and generally, to use the name of the Mortgagor in the exercise of
all or any of the powers hereby conferred on the Trustee and/or the Mortgagee. At any such sale: whether made under the power herein contained or any other legal enactment, or by virtue of any judicial proceedings or any other legal right, remedy or
recourse, it shall not be necessary for the Trustee or the Mortgagee, as appropriate, to have physically present, or to have constructive possession of, the Deed of Trust Property (the Mortgagor hereby covenanting and agreeing to deliver any portion
of the Deed of Trust Property not actually or constructively possessed by the Trustee or the Mortgagee immediately upon his or its demand) and the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof as
completely as if the same had been actually present and delivered to purchaser at such sale, each instrument of conveyance executed by the Trustee or the Mortgagee shall contain a general warranty of title, binding upon the Mortgagor and its
successors and assigns, each and every recital contained in any instrument of conveyance made by the Trustee or the Mortgagee shall conclusively establish (except as between the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee) the truth and accuracy of the matters
recited therein, including, without limitation, nonpayment of the Secured Obligations, advertisement and conduct of such sale in the manner provided herein and otherwise by law and appointment of any successor trustee hereunder, any and all
prerequisites to the validity thereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been performed, the receipt of the Trustee, Mortgagee or of such other party or officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers for
its purchase money and no such purchaser or purchasers, or its assigns or personal representatives, shall thereafter be obligated to see to the application of such purchase money, or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or
nonapplication thereof, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Mortgagor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and
such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Mortgagor, and against any and all other Persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under the Mortgagor, and to the extent and under
such circumstances as are permitted by law, the Mortgagee or any Secured Person may be a purchaser at any such sale, and shall have the right, after paying or accounting for all costs of said sale or sales, to credit the amount of the bid upon the
amount of the Secured Obligations (in the order of priority set forth in Section 4.13) in lieu of cash payment.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then (i) the Mortgagee shall be entitled to all of the rights, powers and
remedies afforded a secured party by the Applicable UCC with reference to the UCC Collateral and (ii) the Trustee or the Mortgagee may proceed as to any Collateral in accordance with the rights and remedies granted under this Deed of Trust or
applicable law in respect of the Collateral. Such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and in addition to those granted to the Trustee or the Mortgagee under any other provision of this Deed of Trust or under any other Secured Document.

Section 4.03 Act Incident to Sale. The Trustee or the Mortgagee may appoint or delegate any one or more Persons
as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by the Trustee or the Mortgagee, including the posting of notices (but excluding the conduct of the sale, which shall be the obligation of the Trustee), in the name and on
behalf of the Trustee or the Mortgagee. If the Trustee or the Mortgagee shall have given notice of sale hereunder, any successor or substitute trustee thereafter appointed may complete the sale and the conveyance of the property pursuant thereto.

Section 4.04 Judicial Foreclosure; Receivership. If any of the Secured
Obligations shall become due and payable and shall not be promptly paid, the Mortgagee shall have the right and power to proceed by a suit or suits in equity or at law, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein
contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder or for the sale of the Collateral under the judgment or decree of any court or courts of competent jurisdiction, or for the appointment of a receiver
pending any foreclosure hereunder or the sale of the Collateral under the order of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction or under executory or other legal process, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy. Any
money advanced by the Mortgagee in connection with any such receivership shall be a demand obligation (which obligation the Mortgagor hereby expressly promises to pay) owing by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee and shall bear interest from the date of
making such advance by the Mortgagee until paid at the Default Rate.

Section 4.05 Foreclosure for Installments.
The Mortgagee shall also have the option to proceed with foreclosure in satisfaction of any installments of the Secured Obligations which have not been paid when due either through the courts or by directing the Trustee to proceed with foreclosure
in satisfaction of the matured but unpaid portion of the Secured Obligations as if under a full foreclosure, conducting the sale as herein provided and without declaring the entire principal balance and accrued interest and other Secured Obligations
then due; such sale may be made subject to the unmatured portion of the Secured Obligations, and any such sale shall not in any manner affect the unmatured portion of the Secured Obligations, but as to such unmatured portion of the Secured
Obligations this Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect just as though no sale had been made hereunder. It is further agreed that several sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured part of the
Secured Obligations, it being the purpose hereof to provide for a foreclosure and sale of the security for any matured portion of the Secured Obligations without exhausting the power to foreclose and sell the Deed of Trust Property for any
subsequently maturing portion of the Secured Obligations.

Section 4.06 Separate Sales. The Collateral may be sold
in one or more parcels and to the extent permitted by applicable law in such manner and order as the Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect, it being expressly understood and agreed that the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default
shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

Section 4.07 Possession of Deed of Trust Property. If an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagee shall have the right and power to enter into and upon and take possession of all or any part of the Collateral in the possession of the
Mortgagor, its successors or assigns, or its or their agents or servants, and may exclude the Mortgagor, its successors or assigns, and all persons claiming under the Mortgagor, and its or their agents or servants wholly or partly therefrom; and,
holding the same, the Mortgagee may use, administer, manage, operate and control the Collateral and conduct the business thereof to the same extent as the Mortgagor, its successors or assigns, might at the time do and may exercise all rights and
powers of the Mortgagor, in the name, place and stead of the Mortgagor, or otherwise as the Mortgagee shall deem best. All costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by the Mortgagee in administering, managing, operating, and
controlling the Deed of Trust Property shall constitute a demand obligation (which obligation the Mortgagor hereby expressly promises to pay) owing by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee and shall bear interest from the date of demand on Mortgagor
therefor until paid at the Default Rate.

Section 4.08 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive. Every right,
power, privilege and remedy herein given to the Trustee or the Mortgagee shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing in equity, at law or by statute. Each and
every right, power, privilege and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and so often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise, or the beginning of the
exercise, or the abandonment, of any such right, power, privilege or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise, at the same time or thereafter any other right, power, privilege or remedy. No delay or omission by the Trustee or
Mortgagee or any other Secured Person in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall impair any such right, power, privilege or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, power, privilege or remedy then or thereafter existing.

Section 4.09 Discontinuance of Proceedings. If the Trustee or the Mortgagee shall have proceeded to invoke any
right, remedy or recourse permitted hereunder or under any Secured Document or available at law and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon same for any reason, then it shall have the unqualified right so to do and, in such an event, the
parties shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Secured Obligations, this Deed of Trust, the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Collateral and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of the Trustee and the
Mortgagee, as applicable, shall continue as if same had never been invoked.

Section 4.10 No Release of
Obligations. Neither the Mortgagor nor any other Person hereafter obligated for payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations shall be relieved of such obligation by reason of: the failure of any Person so obligated to foreclose the Lien
of this Deed of Trust or to enforce any provision hereunder or under the Collateral Agency Agreement or any other Secured Document; the release, regardless of consideration, of the Collateral or any portion thereof or interest therein or the
addition of any other property to the Collateral; or by any other act or occurrence save and except upon the occurrence of the Release Date.

Section 4.11 Release of and Resort to Collateral. The Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration, any part of the Collateral without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing,
affecting, subordinating or releasing the Lien created in or evidenced by this Deed of Trust or its stature as a first and prior Lien in and to the Collateral and without in any way releasing or diminishing the liability of any Person liable for the
repayment of the Secured Obligations. For payment of the Secured Obligations, the Mortgagee may resort to any other security therefor held by the Mortgagee or the Trustee in such order and manner as the Mortgagee may elect.

Section 4.12 Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases all benefits that might accrue to the Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future moratorium law or other law exempting the Collateral from attachment, levy or sale on execution
or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment; all notices of any Event of Default or of the Mortgagees or any other Secured Persons intention
to accelerate the Secured Obligations or of any election to exercise or any actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for hereunder or under any Secured Document or available at law; and any



- 10 -



---

right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation. If any law referred to in this Deed of Trust and now in force, of which the Mortgagor or its successor or successors
might take advantage despite the provisions hereof, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall thereafter be deemed not to constitute any part of the contract herein contained or to preclude the operation or application of
the provisions hereof. If the laws of any state which provides for a redemption period do not permit the redemption period to be waived, the redemption period shall be specifically reduced to the minimum amount of time allowable by statute.

Section 4.13 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any foreclosure sale of the Collateral or any part thereof
and all other monies received in any other proceedings for the enforcement hereof shall be applied:

(a) First, to the payment
of all reasonable expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Mortgagee incident to the enforcement of this Deed of Trust, the Collateral Agency Agreement or any Secured Document to collect any portion of the Secured Obligations (including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, expenses of any entry or taking of possession, of any sale, of advertisement thereof, and of conveyances, and court costs, compensation of agents and employees, legal fees and a reasonable commission to the
Trustee acting, if applicable), and to the payment of all other reasonable charges, expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Trustee or the Mortgagee under this Deed of Trust or in executing any trust or power hereunder; and

(b) Second, as set forth in Section 6(b) of the Collateral Agency Agreement (but without duplication of the amounts
applied in (a) above).

Section 4.14 Indemnity. The Indemnified Parties shall not be liable, in connection
with any action taken, for any loss sustained by the Mortgagor resulting from an assertion that the Mortgagee has received funds from the production of Hydrocarbons claimed by third persons or any act or omission of any Indemnified Party in
administering, managing, operating or controlling the Collateral INCLUDING SUCH LOSS WHICH MAY RESULT FROM THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the
Indemnified Party seeking indemnity. No Indemnified Party will be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify each Indemnified Party for, and to hold
each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all liability, loss or damage which may or might be incurred by any Indemnified Party by reason of this Deed of Trust or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder. If any Indemnified Party shall make
any expenditure on account of any such liability, loss or damage, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys fees, shall be a demand obligation (which obligation the Mortgagor hereby expressly promises to pay) owing
by the Mortgagor to such Indemnified Party and shall bear interest from the date of demand therefor until paid at the Default Rate. The Mortgagor hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all actions of each Indemnified Party with respect to
the Collateral taken under and in compliance with the terms of this Deed of Trust. The liabilities of the Mortgagor as set forth in this Section 4.14 shall survive the termination of this Deed of Trust.

Section 4.15 Limitations on Rights and Waivers. All rights, powers and remedies herein conferred shall be exercisable by
Mortgagee only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law; and all waivers and relinquishments of rights and similar matters shall be effective only to the extent such waivers or relinquishments are not prohibited by applicable law.
