(j) this Agreement; 

  
 6 








 (k) any Recordable Conveyance; and 

(l) Liens created or caused by Grantee. 
 The references in this definition to Liens and other encumbrances apply only to the extent the same are valid and subsisting, and affect the Subject Interests, and shall not be deemed to recognize or
create any rights in third parties. 
 “Person” shall mean an individual, partnership (whether general
or limited), corporation (including a business trust), limited liability company, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated association, bank, joint venture, firm or other entity. 

“Production” shall mean all Hydrocarbons produced (or allocated or attributed to), saved and
sold from the Subject Interests (on a take basis) (for the avoidance of doubt, including, without duplication, Hydrocarbons attributed to the Overriding Royalty Interest or any Lease Burden (to the extent a Lease Burden burdens the Subject
Interests)) from and after the Effective Time, but excluding any (i) Hydrocarbons lost, flared or used for operating, development or production purposes in the ordinary course of business within the area covered by such Subject Interests or
(ii) Non-Consent Hydrocarbons.  
 “Production Costs” shall have the meaning given such term
in Section 4.2. 
 “Production Statement” shall have the meaning given such term in
Section 4.1(a). 
 “Prospect Area” shall mean each area under the heading “Prospect
Area” on Exhibit A. 
 “Prospect Area ORRI Average” means, as to each Prospect Area,
Overriding Royalty Interests covering the number of net acres equal to (i) the total number of gross acres covered by the Leases within a Prospect Area under which the Subject Interests exist, to the extent covering the Subject Formations,
multiplied by (ii) the Scheduled Working Interest with respect to such Prospect Area. 
 “Prospect Area ORRI
Deficiency” shall be deemed to exist with respect to a Prospect Area when the Overriding Royalty Interests granted with respect to Subject Interests within such Prospect Area cover a number of net acres less than the Prospect Area ORRI
Average for such Prospect Area. For example, if the Scheduled Working Interest for a Prospect Area is 70% and the gross acres covered by the Leases within a Prospect Area under which the Subject Interests exists, to the extent covering the Subject
Formations, are 20,000, the Prospect Area ORRI Average at that time is 14,000. If the Overriding Royalty Interest has been granted under one Subject Interest under a Lease of 10,000 acres in which Grantor’s and its Affiliates’ Working
Interest is 50% and another Subject Interest under a Lease of 10,000 acres in which Grantor’s and its Affiliates’ Working Interest is 60%, then the Overriding Royalty Interest will be granted with respect to 11,000 net acres ((50% x
10,000) + (60% x 10,000)), which is below the Prospect Area ORRI Average and therefore a Prospect Area ORRI Deficiency of 3,000 acres will be deemed to exist. 
 “Quarterly Date” shall mean each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each calendar year. 

  
 7 








  “Recordable Conveyance” shall mean a Conveyance of the
Overriding Royalty Interest, in the form agreed by the Parties, between Grantor and Grantee, which assignment is delivered by Grantor to Grantee pursuant to Section 2.1 for filing in the files of the BOEM and/or in those parishes

as then available from Non-Affiliates on the same basis as provided in Section 3.2 herein. 
 “Specified

whether onshore or offshore), or (ii) as respects OCS 0310, depths shallower than the salt or salt weld as seen in the South Marsh Island Block 217 No. 234 Well (which are deeper than 18,000 feet true vertical depth subsea measured
from sea level). 
 “Subject Interests” shall mean the Existing Subject Interests and all right, title
and interest of Grantor and its Affiliates (whether held directly or through an agent or nominee) in, to and under all Add-On Leases insofar, and only insofar, as such right, title and interest of Grantor and its Affiliates in, to and under the
Add-On Leases cover Hydrocarbons produced or that may be produced from the Subject Formation(s) from and after the Effective Date and prior to the Termination Date.

Hydrocarbons from a Well covered by any such Lease if production occurs prior to such Quarterly Date, Grantor will cause a Recordable Conveyance to be executed by Grantor or its Affiliate, as applicable, delivered to Grantee and filed of record in
all appropriate records of the BOEM and in the parishes adjacent to or where the properties subject to such ED Unrecorded Lease or Leases are located conveying to Grantee an Overriding Royalty Interest in the applicable ED Unrecorded Leases equal to
the Overriding Royalty Percentage. 
 (c) If Grantor or its Affiliates (directly or through any agent or nominee) enter into or
otherwise acquire an interest in any Add-On Lease, on or before the first Quarterly Date occurring after the first recording (with the BOEM or the applicable parish) in the name of Grantor or any Affiliate of Grantor of an interest in such Add-On
Lease, and in any event prior to first production of Hydrocarbons from a Well on lands covered by such Add-On Lease if production occurs prior to such Quarterly Date, Grantor will cause a Recordable Conveyance to be executed by Grantor or its
Affiliate, as applicable, delivered to Grantee and filed of record in all appropriate records of the BOEM and in the parishes adjacent to or where the properties subject to such Add-On Lease or Leases are located conveying to Grantee an Overriding
Royalty Interest in the applicable Add-On Leases equal to the Overriding Royalty Percentage. 
 (d) From and after the first
production of Hydrocarbons from any Well, or upon any conveyance by Grantor or its Affiliates of any Working Interest in any Subject Interest (as permitted by Section 2.1(h)) or upon the application of the last sentence or clause
(ii) of the first sentence of Section 2.2(d) or the application of the second sentence of Section 3.5(b) to any NC-Acquired WI, Grantor will from time to time, at the request of Grantee, cause a Recordable Conveyance to
be executed by Grantor or its Affiliate, as applicable, delivered to Grantee and filed of record in the appropriate records of the BOEM and the applicable parishes clarifying the Overriding Royalty Percentage or Overriding Royalty Payment Percentage
with respect to each Subject Interest to which first production is attributable or which is affected by such conveyance or the application of the second sentence of Section 3.5(b) to any NC-Acquired WI. Grantee shall have the right to
request such additional Recordable Conveyances if Grantee deems it reasonably necessary to clarify Grantee’s Overriding Royalty Percentage or Overriding Royalty Payment Percentage in any Well or Subject Interest, whether any change thereto
shall have occurred as a result of any conveyance of any Working Interest of Grantor or any Affiliate of Grantor in any Subject Interest or Well (as permitted by Section 2.1(h)) or otherwise or the application of the second sentence of
Section 3.5(b) to any NC-Acquired WI. 

  
 10 









  (e) Subject to Grantee’s right to take its share of Production in-kind pursuant to
Section 2.02 of each Recordable Conveyance, each Overriding Royalty Interest shall entitle Grantee to an amount equal to the applicable Overriding Royalty Payment Percentage of the Gross Proceeds attributable to such Subject Interests
for periods from and after the Effective Time applicable to such Subject Interests and through and including the Termination Time (the “Royalty”). Grantor shall be responsible for remitting to the appropriate Person all
Specified Post-Production Costs and Specified Taxes attributable to Production (excluding Specified Post-Production Costs and Specified Taxes attributable to Production Grantee elects to take in-kind pursuant to Section 2.02 of the
Recordable Conveyance). If the Overriding Royalty Interest is applicable with respect to less than all of Grantor’s and its Affiliates’ Working Interest with respect any Subject Interests as a result of the application of
Section 2.2(d), then an appropriate adjustment to the Royalty shall be made such that the Royalty is calculated with respect to that portion of Grantor’s and its Affiliates’ Working Interest to which the Overriding Royalty
Interest applies (giving effect to Section 2.2(d)). 
  (f) Each Overriding Royalty Interest will be carved out
of the Working Interest of Grantor and its Affiliates at the time the Overriding Royalty Interest is granted and will be free and clear of any burdens or Liens other than Permitted Liens. The Effective Time as defined in each Recordable Conveyance
with respect to each Subject Interest (the “Effective Time”) will be the date of such Recordable Conveyance, provided if Production with respect to such Subject Interests shall have first occurred prior to the date of such
Recordable Conveyance the Effective Time shall be the first day on which Production was first obtained from any such Subject Interest. All Recordable Conveyances of Overriding Royalty Interest with respect to the First RC Leases will be delivered by
Grantor concurrently herewith, and each additional Recordable Conveyance of Overriding Royalty Interest required hereunder will be delivered as provided herein and (except as provided in Section 2.1(d)) in any event on or prior to the
date on which production of Hydrocarbons was first obtained from such Subject Interest (or any Well attributable thereto), or if neither Grantor nor any Affiliate of Grantor has record title to (or any Required Consent applicable to) any Lease that
will be subject to such Recordable Conveyance as of the first day on which production of Hydrocarbons was first obtained, then such Recordable Conveyance will be delivered as soon as reasonably practicable after Grantor or any Affiliate of Grantor
obtains such record title (or Required Consent) and any delay in delivery will not postpone payments otherwise due hereunder and under such Recordable Conveyance and Grantor will make all such payments as if such Recordable Conveyance had been
delivered prior to the first day on which production of Hydrocarbons was first obtained. 
 (g) The Overriding Royalty Interests
shall terminate at the Termination Time, without the requirement of payment by Grantor or any other Person. Upon any termination of the Overriding Royalty Interests, upon the request of Grantor, Grantee shall execute and deliver to Grantor an
instrument in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Grantor and Grantee and in recordable form in all applicable jurisdictions in which a Recordable Conveyance shall have been filed of record evidencing the termination of the Overriding
Royalty Interests. 

  
 11 









 (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing and Section 5.2, from time to time Grantor and
its Affiliates may assign a portion of their Working Interest in a Lease to third parties free and clear of the Overriding Royalty Interest to the extent necessary to satisfy the obligations of Grantor and its Affiliates existing as of the date of
this Master Conveyance or which may hereafter arise in connection with the good faith efforts of Grantor and its Affiliates to acquire Leases and/or enter into development and participation agreements with respect to the development of the Subject
Formations; provided that, no such assignment shall be permitted, and shall be void ab initio, unless: 

(i) the prior written consent of Grantee to such assignment shall have been obtained, which consent may be denied in
Grantee’s sole discretion; or 
 (ii) such assignment does not reduce, or have the effect of reducing,
Grantor’s or its Affiliates’ Working Interest in a Prospect Area based upon the average of Grantor’s or its Affiliates’ Working Interest in the Leases with respect to a Prospect Area (calculated on a net acre basis, as
applicable) to the extent covering Subject Formations, to an amount less than the Scheduled Working Interest applicable to such Prospect Area; or 
 (iii) the Working Interest of Grantor and its Affiliates in a Prospect Area based upon the average of Grantor’s or its Affiliates’ Working Interest in the Leases with respect to a Prospect Area
(calculated on a net acre basis, as applicable), to the extent covering the Subject Formations, after such assignment (or giving effect to such assignment) is less than 100%, but not less than 75%, of the Scheduled Working Interest applicable to
such Prospect Area provided, in such event, 
 (x) the Overriding Royalty Percentage with respect to all Leases
within the Prospect Area in which the assigned Lease is located shall be calculated based on the Scheduled Working Interest applicable to such Prospect Area, 
 (y) the amount of the Overriding Royalty Payment Percentage with respect to all Leases within the Prospect Area in which the assigned Lease is located shall be increased so that the amount of the Royalty
paid with respect to such Leases is the same as it would have been had the average Working Interest of Grantor and its Affiliates following the assignment been equal to the applicable Scheduled Working Interest (for example, if the Scheduled Working
Interest is 72% and the resulting average Working Interests following the assignment is 54%, then the Overriding Royalty Payment Percentage shall be calculated as 5% x (72/54) = 6.6667%) and 

(z) if a Recordable Conveyance with respect to any such Lease previously shall have been filed, then simultaneously with
such assignment Grantor shall cause a Recordable Conveyance to be executed by Grantor or its Affiliate, as applicable, delivered to Grantee and filed of 

  
 12 









 
record in the appropriate records of the BOEM and the applicable parishes modifying the Overriding Royalty Percentage in accordance with clause (x) above, if necessary, and increasing
the Overriding Royalty Payment Percentage in accordance with clause (y) above with respect to each Lease affected by such conveyance; 
 provided if any assignment effected in violation of this Section 2.1(h) is held not to be void ab initio as provided above, then the Subject Interest conveyed in violation of this
Section 2.1(h) shall be burdened by its proportionate share of the Overriding Royalty Interest as calculated without regard to any such assignment and subject to the terms of this Agreement. This Section 2.1(h) shall not
apply to or otherwise restrict any assignment of any Working Interest in any Lease by Grantor to any Affiliate of Grantor, or by any Affiliate of Grantor to Grantor or any other Affiliate of Grantor, that otherwise complies with
Section 5.2. 
 2.2 Overriding Royalty Percentage. 

(a) The “Overriding Royalty Percentage” with respect to each Subject Interest shall equal five percent (5%),
proportionately reduced to the extent the Subject Interest is less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Working Interest applicable to the Subject Formation under a Lease to which such Subject Interest relates to equal the product of five
percent (5%) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Working Interest held by Grantor and its Affiliates pursuant to such Subject Interest and the denominator of which is one hundred percent (100%), subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 2.1(h)(iii). In the event that Grantor owns varying Working Interests with respect to any Subject Interest, the Overriding Royalty Percentage for such Subject Interest shall be determined in accordance with the
preceding sentence for each portion of such Subject Interest in which Grantor and its Affiliates own a different Working Interest (each, a “Variable Interest”) and for each such Variable Interest shall equal the product of
five percent (5%) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Working Interest held by Grantor and its Affiliates in such Variable Interest and the denominator of which is one hundred percent (100%), subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 2.1(h)(iii). 
 (b) The “Overriding Royalty Payment Percentage” shall be
five percent (5%), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(h)(iii). As an example, if Grantor owns a 50% Working Interest in a Subject Interest, and total volumes produced from such Subject Interests for the applicable period
are equal to 100 barrels, and if the Gross Proceeds with respect to the 50 barrels attributable to Grantor’s Working Interest equal $100, then the Royalty payment would be equal to $5.00 (calculated as 5% (Overriding Royalty Payment Percentage)
multiplied by $100). 
 (c) The Parties acknowledge that Grantor’s Working Interest in each of the Subject Interests is or
may be less than one hundred percent (100)% and the Scheduled Working Interest as to each Prospect Area is estimated to be Grantor’s and its Affiliates’ aggregate Working Interest as to such Prospect Area and all Subject Interests within
such Prospect Area after giving effect to any assignment contemplated by Section 2.1(h), excluding Section 2.1(h)(iii). The final Working Interests owned by Grantor and its Affiliates in the


  
 13 









 
Subject Interests that the Overriding Royalty Interest will burden may vary, based on arrangements made with Grantor’s and its Affiliates’ ultra-deep program participants or
replacements and other Working Interest owners in each Prospect Area, as provided in and subject to Section 2.1(h). 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2, if the Working Interest of Grantor and its Affiliates in a
Subject Interest in which an Overriding Royalty Interest is to be granted to Grantee pursuant to Section 2.1 is greater than the Scheduled Working Interest applicable to the Prospect Area in which such Subject Interest is located, then
(i) the Overriding Royalty Percentage with respect to such Subject Interest shall be calculated based on the Scheduled Working Interest or (ii) if at such time a Prospect Area ORRI Deficiency shall exist, the Overriding Royalty Percentage
with respect to such Subject Interest shall be calculated based on the Scheduled Working Interest plus that portion of Grantor’s and its Affiliates’ Working Interest in such Subject Interest in excess of the Scheduled Working Interest as
necessary to cause such Prospect Area ORRI Deficiency to no longer exist (or if such excess Working Interest is not sufficient to cause the Prospect Area ORRI Deficiency to no longer exist, all of Grantor’s and its Affiliates’ Working
Interest in such Subject Interest). In the event the Overriding Royalty Interest is granted based on the Scheduled Working Interest pursuant to clause (i) above and thereafter a Prospect Area ORRI Deficiency exists with respect to the Prospect
Area to which such Subject Interest relates, an Overriding Royalty Interest shall be granted by Grantor or its Affiliates, as applicable, with respect to such Working Interests of Grantor and its Affiliates in such a Subject Interest with respect to
which the Overriding Royalty Interest was not granted in reliance on clause (i) above as necessary to cause such Prospect Area ORRI Deficiency to no longer exist (or if such excess Working Interest is not sufficient to cause the Prospect Area
ORRI Deficiency to no longer exist, all of such excess Working Interest). 
 2.3 Filing Fees. All documentary, filing and
recording fees required to be paid in connection with the filing and recording of the Recordable Conveyance and any related documents shall be paid by Grantor. 
 2.4 Measurement. Grantor shall install and maintain, or cause to be installed and maintained, at Grantor’s cost, metering facilities at the wellhead or first measuring point past the wellhead
for the measurement of all Production. Such measurement facilities shall be equipped with meters of electronic flow measurement devices and samplers as required by applicable Law and as, commonly accepted by the industry and sufficient to accomplish
the accurate measurement of Oil and Gas for purposes of calculating the Royalty in accordance with this Master Conveyance, the Recordable Conveyances and applicable Laws. All measurements for purposes of calculating, and calculations of, the Royalty
shall be consistent with the methodologies utilized for purposes of calculating the royalties payable to the lessors under the Leases. 
 2.5 Counterparts and Recording. 
 (a) Grantor will execute a sufficient
number of original counterparts of each Recordable Conveyance required to be delivered pursuant hereto to allow Grantor to record the required number of counterparts with the BOEM and in each parish in which a Recordable Conveyance is required to be
filed. If any counterpart is lost in the process of recording, or 

  
 14 









 
insufficient counterparts are executed, Grantor will provide and record a duplicate original counterpart. Following the recording of each Recordable Conveyance with the BOEM and each
applicable parish, Grantor shall deliver to Grantee the original recorded Recordable Conveyance or, if originals are not available, a certified copy of each recorded Recordable Conveyance. Following delivery of each Recordable Conveyance, Grantor
will consult with Grantee to resolve any questions of Grantee about the information in Exhibit A to such Recordable Conveyance and the calculation of the Overriding Royalty Percentage and the Overriding Royalty Payment Percentage set
forth therein. 
 (b) In the event the BOEM or any parish in which a Recordable Conveyance is required to be filed in accordance
with this Agreement requires any additional documentation to effect the grant and conveyance of the Overriding Royalty Interest to be conveyed thereby (including any specified form(s) to obtain the BOEM’s consent to or otherwise effect such
grant and conveyance), Grantor shall execute and deliver to Grantee, the BOEM and each applicable parish such additional documentation; provided, as between Grantor and Grantee, such additional documentation shall not convey to Grantee any
rights in addition to those rights to which Grantee is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and the Recordable Conveyance. 
 2.6
Compliance Reports. On or before each Quarterly Date, commencing on the first Quarterly Date occurring after the Effective Date, until the Termination Date, Grantor shall deliver to Grantee a report executed by an officer of Grantor
(i) identifying all new wells drilled or participated in by Grantor within a Prospect Area since the prior report, and stating whether upon completion and the commencement of production, such wells will produce Hydrocarbons subject to the
Overriding Royalty Interest, and whether such wells are producing and if so the date of first production, (ii) certifying that Grantor has, as of the date of such report, complied with and performed all of Grantor’s obligations pursuant to
Section 2.1 of this Agreement, (iii) certifying that Grantor has provided Grantee with copies of all assignments executed by Grantor as permitted by Section 2.1(h) and (iv) identifying all interests that have not
yet been conveyed to the Trust via Recordable Conveyance, as provided in Section 9.1(f). 
 ARTICLE III

 CERTAIN MATTERS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT INTERESTS 

3.1 Abandonments. Grantor shall have the right, without the joinder of Grantee, to release, surrender and/or abandon the Subject
Interests or any well located therein, or any part thereof or interest therein, in the ordinary course of business, even though the effect of such release, surrender or abandonment will be to release, surrender or abandon that portion of the
Overriding Royalty Interest affected thereby to the same extent as though Grantee had joined with Grantor therein, (provided for clarity, this Section 3.1 shall not permit (i) any assignment of Grantor’s or its Affiliates’
Working Interests in any Subject Interests (which shall be permitted only as provided in Section 2.1(h)), or (ii) any release, surrender or abandonment for the primary purpose of causing or effecting a termination of any Overriding
Royalty Interest). Grantee shall execute such documentation as is reasonably necessary to evidence the corresponding release, surrender or abandonment of that portion of the Overriding Royalty Interest affected thereby upon receipt of a written
request and certification of an officer of Grantor that the release, surrender and/or abandonment is in the ordinary course of business and such documentation is necessary to evidence the corresponding release, surrender or abandonment from Grantor.


  
 15 









 3.2 Contracts with Affiliates. Grantor and/or any of its Affiliates may perform
services and furnish supplies and equipment that include Specified Post-Production Costs with respect to the Subject Interests; provided that the terms of the provision of such services or furnishing of supplies or equipment shall be substantially
similar to those terms available from Non-Affiliates in the same area as the Subject Interests that are engaged in the business of rendering comparable services or furnishing comparable equipment and supplies, taking into consideration all such
terms, including the price, point of sale or service, condition of supplies or equipment, and availability of supplies and equipment and such term as Grantor determines in good faith would be utilized by a reasonably prudent operator in obtaining
such equipment or services from a Non-Affiliate. 
 3.3 Right to Use Wellbores. Without joinder or consent of Grantee or
notice thereto, Grantor shall have the right to use the wellbore of any well located on the Subject Interest in connection with any reworking, recompletion or side tracking operation conducted with respect to such well, provided if any production of
Hydrocarbons from the Subject Formations results from such reworking, recompletion or side tracking operation then the Overriding Royalty Interest shall apply to all Hydrocarbons produced from the Subject Formations through such wellbore.

 3.4 Amendment of Drilling or Spacing Units/Unitization. Without joinder or consent of Grantee or notice thereto,
Grantor shall have the right and power to unitize or pool all or any portion of the Subject Interests with other areas and to amend or terminate any unitization and/or pooling agreements. If and whenever, through the exercise of this power or
pursuant to any law or regulation, or any order of any Governmental Authority, any portion of the Subject Interests is unitized or pooled, the Overriding Royalty Interest, insofar as it relates to such unitized or pooled area, shall be calculated
with respect to the Hydrocarbons in proportion to which the affected Subject Interests share in the Hydrocarbons produced from such unitized or pooled area. 
 3.5 Operations. 
 (a) It is the express intent of Grantor and Grantee that
the Overriding Royalty Interest shall constitute (and this Master Conveyance shall conclusively be construed for all purposes as creating) a single, separate non-operating right with respect to the Subject Interests for all purposes. Without
limitation of the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Grantor and Grantee acknowledge that Grantee has no right or power to participate in the selection of a prospect, drilling location, or drilling contractor, to propose the drilling
of a well, to determine the timing or sequence of drilling operations, to commence or shut down production, to take over operations, or to share in any operating decision whatsoever. Grantor and Grantee hereby expressly negate any intent to create
(and this Master Conveyance shall never be construed as creating) a mining or other partnership or joint venture or other relationship subjecting Grantor and Grantee to joint liability. Nothing contained in this Master Conveyance shall be deemed to
prevent or restrict Grantor or its Affiliates from electing not to participate in any operations that are to be conducted under the terms of any operating 

  
 16 









 
agreement, unit operating agreement, contract for development, or similar instrument affecting or pertaining to the Subject Interests (or any portions thereof) and permitting consenting parties
to conduct non-consent operations; and the Overriding Royalty Interest shall not apply to any Non-Consent Hydrocarbons, and Grantor shall not have any obligations under Section 4.1(a) with respect to any such Non-Consent Hydrocarbons.

 (b) Except as provided in the following sentence, if Grantor elects to acquire additional Working Interest based on one or
more non-consent elections by any third Person (other than an Affiliate of Grantor), the additional Working Interest so acquired (“NC-Acquired WI”) will not be burdened by the Overriding Royalty Interest. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Working Interest of Grantor and its Affiliates (to which the Overriding Royalty Interest applies) in any such non-consent operation in which Grantor or its Affiliates elects to participate (the “Actual WI”)
is less than the Scheduled Working Interest for the Prospect Area in which such operation is being conducted (and an adjustment has not been made under Section 2.1(h)(iii) to adjust the Overriding Royalty Percentage and Overriding
Royalty Payment Percentage to equate to the application of the Overriding Royalty Interest to a Working Interest equal to such Scheduled Working Interest or pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.2(d)) , then (a) the Overriding
Royalty Interest shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to and burden that portion of the NC-Acquired WI equal to the difference between the Actual WI and the Scheduled Working Interest for the Prospect Area in which such operation is being conducted
for so long as Grantor and its Affiliates are entitled to the production from and/or proceeds of the NC-Acquired WI with respect to such operation, (b) Grantor and its Affiliates shall comply with Section 2.1(d) with respect to such
NC-Acquired WI to which the Overriding Royalty Interest applies and (c) Grantor and its Affiliates shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty under Section 9.1 with respect to any NC-Acquired WI and shall not
have any obligation under this Master Conveyance with respect to any Lien on or burdening any NC-Acquired WI other than any such Liens created by, thru or under Grantor or its Affiliates. 

(c) Subject to Section 5.3, as to any third Person, the acts of Grantor shall be binding on Grantee, and it shall not be
necessary for Grantee to join with Grantor in the execution or ratification of any operating agreement, unit operating agreement, contract for development, or similar instrument affecting or pertaining to any of the Subject Interests. 

3.6 Leases. Grantor shall have (without the further joinder, consent of or notice to Grantee) the right to renew, extend, modify,
amend or supplement the Leases in the ordinary course of business with respect to any of the lands or depths covered thereby without the consent of Grantee. 
 3.7 Mortgages and Security Interests. 
 (a) Subject to
Section 2.1(h) and Section 3.7(b), and the requirement in Section 2.1(f) that all Overriding Royalty Interests be conveyed free and clear of all burdens and Liens other than Permitted Liens, nothing herein shall
prevent Grantor or its Affiliates from granting a Lien in any interest of Grantor or any of its Affiliates in any property, including the Subject Interests or any Hydrocarbons. Grantor shall have no right to encumber any Overriding Royalty Interest
with any Lien. 

  
 17 









 (b) If Grantor or any of its Affiliates is ever liable for any indebtedness or hedging
obligation, Grantor will ensure that (i) with respect to any Lease that is burdened by any Lien or security interest securing such indebtedness or hedging obligation, at least five percent (5%) (proportionately reduced) of Grantor’s
rights and interests in such Lease attributable to the Subject Interests is excluded from such lien and security interest and (ii) the terms and conditions of such indebtedness or hedging obligation will not prevent or otherwise restrict
Grantor from satisfying its obligations under this Agreement or any Recordable Conveyance and will require any party secured under such arrangement to agree to release its lien or security interest, if any, to the extent required to permit the grant
of Overriding Royalty Interest in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 ARTICLE IV 

PAYMENTS 

4.1 Payments. 
 (a) The Royalty shall be payable on the last day of each month in respect of the proceeds of Production received by or on behalf of Grantor or its Affiliates in the immediately preceding month. Such
Royalty payment to Grantee shall be accompanied by a certification setting forth the quantity and kind of Production for such previous month (including Production attributable to the Overriding Royalty Interest and any Lease Burdens), the gross sale
price thereof, the calculation of the Gross Proceeds received therefrom identifying all Specified Taxes deducted or withheld and all Specified Post-Production Costs debited from the gross sale proceeds, together with a calculation of the Royalty for
such previous month (the “Production Statement”). All payments of the Royalty shall be made to Grantee by electronic transfer to Grantee’s account, details of which account shall be notified to Grantor by Grantee in
writing from time to time. Grantor’s obligations under this Section 4.1(a) shall not apply with respect to Non-Consent Hydrocarbons as provided in Section 3.5(a). 

(b) If at any time Grantor pays Grantee more than the amount then due with respect to the Royalty, Grantee will not be obligated to
return any such overpayment, but the amount or amounts otherwise payable for any subsequent period or periods will be reduced by such overpayment. 
 (c) Any amount owed by Grantor with respect to the Royalty hereunder and not paid by Grantor to Grantee within ten (10) days of its due date shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
lesser of (i) the highest, non-usurious rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law, and (ii) two percent (2%) per annum plus the Agreed Rate at the time payment was due, and such interest shall accrue on such unpaid
amount commencing on the date on which such unpaid amount was due until such unpaid amount has been paid in full. Grantor agrees to pay Grantee such interest if applicable pursuant to this Section 4.1(c). 

4.2 Burden-Free Royalty. In no event will Grantee ever be personally liable or obligated to pay, either directly or indirectly,
any obligations arising from or related to the development of any of the Subject Interests, including (a) Lease Burdens, (b) taxes, (c) costs, expenses or liabilities for building, constructing, acquiring, exploring, drilling,
completing, 

  
 18 









 
perforating, equipping, developing, producing, operating, maintaining, reworking, redrilling, recompleting, plugging, abandoning, gathering, transporting, compressing, treating, handling,
separating, dehydrating or processing, or any other expenses related or pertaining to operations with respect to the Subject Interests or the handling of Production (“Production Costs”) or (d) any costs or expenses of
acquiring or disposing of any Subject Interests (“SI Costs”), provided that nothing herein shall limit Grantor’s ability to deduct Specified Post-Production Costs and Specified Taxes from Gross Proceeds in calculating
Royalty payments. 
 4.3 Tax Withholding. Grantor shall have the right to make any deduction or withholding on account of
taxes from all payments of the Royalty due under this Agreement that may be required under the provisions of any applicable Laws in effect as of the time of payment. If Grantee is exempt from deduction or withholding on account of any taxes with
respect to the payments of the Royalty, Grantee shall (i) notify Grantor that such exemption is held and of any change to or cancellation of such exemption; and (ii) furnish Grantor with proper documentation evidencing such exemption or
any other information that may be required to obtain such exemption. Where applicable, Grantor and Grantee shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for Grantor to obtain authorization to make a payment of Royalty without a
deduction or withholding on account of any taxes. Where applicable, Grantor shall provide Grantee with all receipts in respect of any amount deducted or withheld on account of any taxes. 

ARTICLE V 

ASSIGNMENT 
 5.1 Assignment by Grantee. 
 (a) Except as provided in
Section 5.4, prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, Grantee shall not assign any Overriding Royalty Interests. From and after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to Section 5.5, without the
prior written consent of Grantor, Grantee may assign or transfer all, but not less than all, of the Overriding Royalty Interests and may assign or transfer its rights and interest in and under this Agreement with respect to the Overriding Royalty
Interests to any assignee of the Overriding Royalty Interests; provided that Grantee shall only be entitled to assign the Overriding Royalty Interests and the rights under this Agreement and the Recordable Conveyances to one assignee of Grantee who
acquires all of Grantee’s interest in all Overriding Royalty Interests. 
 (b) No change of ownership or right to receive
the Overriding Royalty Interest, however accomplished, shall be binding upon Grantor until notice thereof shall have been furnished by the Person claiming the benefit thereof, and then only with respect to payments thereafter made. Notice of sale or
assignment of the Overriding Royalty Interest shall consist of a copy of the recorded instrument accomplishing the same; notice of change of ownership or right to receive payment accomplished in any other manner (for example by reason of incapacity,
death or dissolution) shall consist of copies of recorded documents and complete proceedings legally binding and conclusive of the rights of all parties. Until such notice shall have been furnished to Grantor as provided above, the payment or tender
of all sums payable on the Overriding Royalty Interest may be made in the manner provided in the Recordable Conveyance as if no such change in interest or ownership or right to receive payment had occurred. 

  
 19 









 5.2 Assignment by Grantor. 

(a) Except as permitted by Section 2.1(h), any assignment by Grantor or its Affiliates of any Subject Interests shall be in
accordance with Section 4.01 of the Recordable Conveyance. 
 (b) Grantor may not convey or assign any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement or any part thereof except in connection with and as part of a transfer of the interest by Grantor or its Affiliates in any Subject Interest. No transfer or assignment of its rights under this Agreement will release
or relieve Grantor from its obligations hereunder. 
 (c) Grantor shall not, and shall not permit any Affiliate of Grantor, to
indirectly (by merger, consolidation, disposition of equity or otherwise) effect any conveyance of any interest in any Subject Interest in contravention of this Master Conveyance or any Recordable Conveyance. 

5.3 Covenant Running with the Land. Subject to Section 2.1(h), this Agreement, each Recordable Conveyance and the
obligations of Grantor under this Agreement and each Recordable Conveyance shall be covenants running with the Leases and the lands covered thereby or subject thereto, and in the event of any transfer of any of Grantor’s interests derived from
any Lease (including any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sale by a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy and the granting of any lien by any court), such transfer will be subject to all obligations of Grantor with respect to this Agreement
burdening such Grantor’s interests. 
 5.4 Special Trust Assignment. Notwithstanding Section 5.5, if at
any time after the Effective Date, Grantor or Depositor shall have been requested to provide financing to the Trust pursuant to Section 7.5 of the Trust Agreement and shall have failed or refused to do so or if the Trustee is permitted
pursuant to Section 6.6(b) or Section 12.1 of the Trust Agreement to draw upon the stand-by reserve account or letter of credit provided by Depositor, then, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Grantor and an
opportunity to cure, Grantee shall, if uncured, be permitted to, without regard to or compliance with Section 5.5, (a) assign or transfer all, but not less than all, of the Overriding Royalty Interests and assign or transfer its
rights and interest in and under this Agreement with respect to the Overriding Royalty Interests to any assignee of the Overriding Royalty Interests and (b) pledge or grant a security interest in or on the Overriding Royalty Interests to any
lender providing financing to the Trust pursuant to Section 3.9(b) of the Trust Agreement. Any assignee or lender who acquires any interest in the Overriding Royalty Interests pursuant to the exercise of any such rights set forth in
clause (a) or (b) shall hold the Overriding Royalty Interests free and clear of the provisions of Section 5.5 and the Termination Date with respect to such Overriding Royalty Interests shall be deemed to be the End Date.

 5.5 Preferential Right to Purchase in Favor of Grantor. 

(a) Should Grantee receive a bona fide written offer for the acquisition of all of the Overriding Royalty Interests from a third-party
not affiliated with Grantor (the “Third

Party Offer”), which Grantee desires to accept, Grantor shall have a preferential right to purchase the Overriding Royalty Interests on the same terms as those proposed in the
Third Party Offer. In such case, Grantee shall give Grantor written notice of the Third Party Offer (the “Pref Right Notice”), which notice shall include (i) the purchase price (ii) the effective date of the
acquisition, (iii) a description of all other material terms of the Third Party Offer, and (iv) a copy of the Third Party Offer. 
 (b) For a period of thirty (30) days from receipt of the Pref Right Notice, Grantor shall have the option to elect to acquire the Overriding Royalty Interests on the same terms as those proposed in
the Third Party Offer. Grantor shall advise Grantee of its election to exercise this preferential right to purchase by giving Grantee written notice of such election no later than thirty (30) days following receipt of the Pref Right Notice (the
“Election Notice”). 
 (c) If Grantor timely delivers the Election Notice, then Grantor
shall be obligated to purchase and Grantee shall be required to convey to Grantor the Overriding Royalty Interests on the price and terms specified in the Third Party Offer. The closing of the acquisition of the Overriding Royalty Interests shall be
concluded within a reasonable time, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following Grantee’s receipt of the Election Notice. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.1 or Section 5.5 to the contrary, Grantee shall not have the right to accept a Third Party Offer if Grantor has properly elected to
exercise a High-Value Call Option or a Low-Value Call Option, as defined and provided for in Section 3.20 of the Trust Agreement, within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Pref Rights Notice. 

(e) If a Third Party Offer includes consideration other than cash, such non-cash consideration shall be valued at an
equivalent cash amount by Grantee in good faith such that the Third Party Offer shall be deemed to be all cash. 

(f) If Grantor fails to timely deliver the Election Notice, or Grantor delivers an Election Notice but the closing of the
sale of the Overriding Royalty interest to Grantor fails to close within sixty (60) days following Grantee’s receipt of the Election Notice (or such longer period necessitated by the actions of the Grantee or others (excepting Grantor and
its Affiliates), including any delay in obtaining any necessary consents or approvals from any third party (other than Grantor or its Affiliates, which consents shall be deemed granted)), then Grantee may transfer the Overriding Royalty Interests
pursuant to such Third Party Offer. If the closing of the sale of the Overriding Royalty Interests pursuant to the Third Party Offer does not occur within ninety (90) days after the date Grantee delivers the Pref Rights Notice (or such longer
period necessitated by any delay in obtaining any necessary consents or approvals from any third party (other than Grantor or its Affiliates, which consents shall be deemed granted)), or if the terms of the Third Party Offer are materially altered,
then the proposed acquisition of the Overriding Royalty Interests shall be deemed withdrawn and the conveyance of such Overriding Royalty Interests shall again be governed by this Section 5.5. 

(g) If the closing of an ORRI Transfer occurs, then (i) upon the closing of the ORRI Transfer this Agreement shall be
amended to state the final ORRI Purchase Price as determined in accordance with this Agreement, and the Memorandum shall be amended to 

  
 21 









 
identify such ORRI Purchase Price and (ii) at any time after such closing until the End Date, Grantor shall have the right and option (the “ORRI Purchase Option”) to
purchase all, but not less than all, of such Overriding Royalty Interests at a price equal to the ORRI Purchase Price. Grantor may exercise the ORRI Purchase Option by providing written notice (the “ORRI Purchase Notice”) to
Grantee and tendering to Grantee the full ORRI Purchase Price (the time of such tender, the “ORRI Purchase Option Closing”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by such Person
after receipt of the ORRI Purchase Notice. No ORRI Transfer shall be valid unless it is made pursuant to an agreement binding on the transferee pursuant to which the transferee acknowledges Grantor’s right to purchase all of the Overriding
Royalty Interests from such transferee pursuant to the exercise of the ORRI Purchase Option and payment of the ORRI Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.5(g) and agrees to convey the Overriding Royalty Interest
to Grantor upon Grantor’s exercise of the ORRI Purchase Option. 
 ARTICLE VI 

ACCESS TO BOOKS AND RECORDS; CONFIDENTIALITY 
 6.1 Books and Records. Grantor shall keep full, true, and correct records of (i) all transactions required or permitted by this Agreement and (ii) the production and financial information
necessary to reflect such transactions, including the production and financial information needed to calculate the Production, including the sales thereof, and Gross Proceeds for each calendar month. At any time prior to the third anniversary of the
Termination Date, upon at least five (5) business days’ prior written notice, Grantee may inspect such records and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, take copies at its own cost; provided that no more than one
(1) such inspection may be undertaken in any calendar year. Grantor shall maintain all such books and records for a minimum of five (5) years following the Termination Date. At Grantee’s request, subject to the provisions of
Section 6.2, Grantor shall give Grantee and its designated representatives (on behalf of the Trust) reasonable access in Grantor’s office during normal business hours to (A) all geological, Well and production data in
Grantor’s possession or Grantor’s Affiliates’ possession, relating to operations on the Subject Interests and (B) all reserve reports and reserve studies in the possession of Grantor or of Grantor’s Affiliates, relating to
the Subject Interests, whether prepared by Grantor, by Grantor’s Affiliates, or by consulting engineers. 
 6.2
Confidentiality. 
 (a) Any confidential information provided by Grantor to Grantee pursuant to this Master Conveyance
shall not be disclosed by Grantee to any third party, except with Grantor’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee may disclose such information to its representatives or the Trustee’s officers, directors, legal
counsel, accountants and advisors (collectively, “Representatives”) who, in each case, in Grantee’s reasonable judgment, need to know such information for the purpose of (i) confirming compliance with the terms of this
Master Conveyance or (ii) advising the Trustee with respect to any action required by or requested of the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, any Recordable Conveyance or the Trust Agreement provided that Grantee shall (a) inform each
person to whom such information is provided of the confidential nature of such information, (b) take reasonable precautions 

  
 22 









 
necessary to prevent the disclosure of such information by such persons to any third party, and (c) be responsible for any breach of this Section 6.2 by any representatives;
provided, however, except as set forth in a Recordable Conveyance, Grantee shall not disclose any information regarding the geographic areas and boundaries covered, and blocks in which each Prospect Area is located to any third party without the
prior written consent of Grantor other than to the Trustee’s Representatives as provided above or as required by law, judicial or governmental order, regulatory process, any self-regulatory organization, interrogatory, request for information
or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process. 
 (b) If Grantee is requested or required (by law,
judicial or governmental order or regulatory process or by any self-regulatory organization, interrogatory, request for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any confidential information
provided by Grantor to Grantee, it is agreed that Grantee will, to the extent legally permitted, provide Grantor with prompt notice of such request or requirement prior to making such disclosure so that Grantor may seek an appropriate protective
order and/or waive Grantee’s compliance with this Section 6.2. Grantee may disclose only that portion of the confidential information that Grantee is advised by its counsel is legally required to be disclosed; provided, that, to the
extent legally permitted, Grantee provides Grantor prior written notice of the information to be disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as is practicable and, upon Grantor’s request, uses reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that
confidential treatment will be afforded to such information. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 6.2 or any other provision hereof, nothing herein shall prevent or restrict Grantee from making any public disclosure of any information Grantee deems to be required or advisable in order to ensure compliance by the Trust with
applicable securities laws, or other legal or regulatory requirements or securities exchange listing or quotation system or similar requirements; provided, however, that this sentence shall apply and remain in effect only until the conclusion of the
winding up and termination of the Trust (which may be after the Termination Date).

Overriding Royalty Interest, as above provided, upon request by Grantor, Grantee shall, at Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver such instrument or instruments as may be necessary to evidence the termination of the Overriding Royalty Interest

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION, REMEDIES 
 9.1 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Grantor. Grantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Grantee as follows: 

(a) Organization, Good Standing, Etc. Grantor is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing
under the Laws of the State of Delaware. 
 (b) Authority. Grantor has taken all necessary action to authorize its
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Recordable Conveyances and has adequate power, authority and legal right to enter into, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the Recordable Conveyances. 

(c) Legal Requirements. Grantor has all requisite power, approvals, authorizations, consents, licenses, orders, franchises,
rights, registrations and permits of all Governmental Authorities required in order for Grantor to carry out its duties under the Leases, this Agreement and each Recordable Conveyance; each of the foregoing (if any) is in full force and effect and
has been duly and validly issued, and Grantor is in compliance with all terms and conditions of each of the foregoing. 
 (d)
No Consent. No permit, consent, approval, authorization or order of, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Grantor of this Agreement

assignment, (ii) consents that cannot be unreasonably withheld, insofar in each case as commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents are in fact made, and (iii) consents required to effect the conveyance of the Overriding
Royalty Interests to be conveyed pursuant to such Recordable Conveyance (such consents as described in this clause (iii), the “Required Consents”). 

  
 24 









 (e) First RC Leases. To Grantor’s knowledge, the First RC Leases constitute all
of the Leases held by Grantor and its Affiliates that have been recorded with the BOEM or the applicable parish as of the Effective Date in the name of Grantee or its Affiliates. 

(f) Required Consents. Grantor shall use its best efforts to obtain all Required Consents as to each Lease and Subject Interest
with respect to which an Overriding Royalty Interest is to be conveyed by a Recordable Conveyance prior to the date such Recordable Conveyance is required to be filed in accordance with Section 2.1(a), (b) or
(c) of this Agreement (and shall continue such efforts thereafter if such consent shall not have been obtained until such consent shall have been obtained). To the extent any Required Consent shall not have been obtained with respect to
any Lease or Subject Interests as of the time the Recordable Conveyance for such Lease or Subject Interests is required to be filed in accordance with Section 2.1(a), (b) or (c) of this Agreement, then the
Overriding Royalty Interests with respect to such Lease or Subject Interests shall not be conveyed until such time as such Required Consent shall have been obtained and, until such time as such Required Consent shall have been obtained and the
Recordable Conveyance with respect to such Lease or Subject Interests has been filed in accordance herewith, such Overriding Royalty Interests with respect to such Lease or Subject Interests shall be held by Grantor in trust for the benefit of
Grantee under this Agreement and shall be subject to Section 9.2(b)(ii); provided that, as to any amounts so held in trust by Grantor, Grantor shall pay all such amounts held by Grantor to Grantee upon demand of Grantee and any such
payment shall be deemed satisfaction of Grantor’s indemnity obligations to Grantee for amounts so held in trust, up to the amounts paid. 
 (g) Indirect Ownership. Grantor is not a partner, member, shareholder or other equity owner of any Person that owns an interest in any Lease other than an Affiliate of Grantor. Grantor shall not,
after the date hereof, acquire an equity interest in any partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other Person, other than an Affiliate of Grantor, for the purpose of acquiring an indirect interest in any Lease. Any interest in Leases
shall be acquired by Grantor directly or through an Affiliate of Grantor. 
 9.2 Indemnity. 

(a) As used herein, “Royalty Company Indemnitees” shall mean Grantee, the Trustee, their successors and assigns,
their respective Affiliates, and all of their respective partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, agents, representatives, beneficiaries, trustees, and employees and their respective successors, assigns and Affiliates. 

(b) Grantor, with respect to any Subject Interests or Well in which Grantor has granted an Overriding Royalty Interest, will defend,
indemnify and hold each Royalty Company Indemnitee harmless from and against all claims, demands, damages, liabilities, liens, fines, penalties, charges, administrative and judicial proceedings, orders, judgments, remedial action requirements,
investigations, and enforcement actions of any kind, together with all interest thereon and all costs and expenses related thereto (including fees and disbursements of counsel and other advisors) and all other obligations whatsoever (collectively,
“Claims”) arising, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with any claim or demand asserted by any Person (other than by any Royalty Company Indemnitee against any Royalty Company Indemnitee),
including any claim or demand related to any of the following: 

  
 25 









 (i) Lease Burdens, Specified Taxes not remitted by Grantor to the
appropriate Person, Production Costs and SI Costs, provided that nothing herein shall limit Grantor’s ability to deduct Specified Post-Production Costs and Specified Taxes from Gross Proceeds in calculating Royalty payments, and 

(ii) all amounts by which the payments payable to Grantee with respect to any Overriding Royalty Interest pursuant to the
terms of this Master Conveyance or any Recordable Conveyance are (i) reduced or otherwise used to satisfy any Lien (including any Permitted Lien other than an Excepted Permitted Lien) or encumbrance on the Working Interest of Grantor or any of
its Affiliates in any Lease other than an Excepted Permitted Lien, including amounts used to satisfy any obligations or liabilities described in Section 3.7, (ii) reduced or adversely affected by the reduction in any Grantor’s
or its Affiliates’ Working Interest to an amount less than the Scheduled Working Interest as a result of any violation of this Agreement by Grantor, including the proviso in Section 2.1(h), or (iii) reduced or adversely
affected by any failure of Grantor to have obtained any Required Consent with respect to any Lease or Subject Interests. 
 (c)
THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY WILL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT ARISING OUT OF THE SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY OF ANY ROYALTY COMPANY INDEMNITEE, GRANTOR, OR ANY OTHER PERSON, AND WILL APPLY, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO ANY CLAIM
AGAINST OR LIABILITY IMPOSED UPON ANY ROYALTY COMPANY INDEMNITEE, GRANTOR, OR ANY OTHER PERSON AS A RESULT OF ANY THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER DOCTRINE OF LAW, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not apply to any Claims
incurred by any Royalty Company Indemnitee to the extent proximately caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Royalty Company Indemnitee. The rights of the Royalty Company Indemnitees under this Section 9.2 will
survive any termination of this Agreement and will be in addition to, and not in replacement or limitation of, all other indemnities, reimbursement rights, and other similar rights and assurances at any time made by Grantor for the benefit of any
Royalty Company Indemnitee. 
 (d) If any action or proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Royalty Company
Indemnitee in respect of which indemnity may be sought from Grantor pursuant to this Section 9.2, of which such Royalty Company Indemnitee shall have received notice, the Royalty Company Indemnitee shall promptly notify Grantor in
writing, and Grantor shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Royalty Company Indemnitee and the payment of all costs and expenses; provided, however, that the failure so to notify Grantor
of the commencement of any such action or proceeding shall not relieve Grantor from any liability that it may have to any Royalty Company Indemnitee except to the extent that Grantor is prejudiced or damaged by the failure to receive prompt notice.
The Royalty Company Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Royalty Company Indemnitee unless
(a) Grantor has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (b) Grantor shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or proceeding and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory (including the qualifications of such


  
 26 









 
counsel) to the Royalty Company Indemnitee on any such action or proceeding or (c) the named parties to any such action or proceeding include both the Royalty Company Indemnitee and Grantor
and the Royalty Company Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Royalty Company Indemnitee that are different from or in addition to those available to Grantor or any other Royalty
Company Indemnitee (in which case, if the Royalty Company Indemnitee notifies Grantor in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of Grantor, Grantor shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding
on behalf of the Royalty Company Indemnitee and the Royalty Company Indemnitee may employ such counsel for the defense of such action or proceeding as is reasonably satisfactory to Grantor; it being understood, however, that except in the case of
the addition of counsel caused by the existence or development of a conflict rendering unified representation impermissible or unadvisable, Grantor shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar
or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for the Royalty Company Indemnitees at any
time). Grantor shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without the written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of Grantor, but, if settled with such written
consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action or proceeding, Grantor agrees (to the extent stated above) to indemnify and hold harmless each Royalty Company Indemnitee from and against any expenses by reason of such
settlement or judgment. 
 ARTICLE X 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.1 Governing Law. This Master Conveyance shall be
construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana and the laws of the United States of America, except that, to the extent that the law under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act requires that the law of a
state adjacent to which the Subject Interests are located (or which is otherwise applicable to a portion of the Subject Interests) necessarily governs with respect to procedural and substantive matters relating to the Overriding Royalty Interest,
the law of such state shall apply as to that portion of the Subject Interests located adjacent to or in (or otherwise subject to the laws of) such state. 
 10.2 No Personal Liability by Grantee. The parties acknowledge that the Overriding Royalty Interest is a non-operating interest and that Grantee owns such interest, free from the payment by Grantee
of the costs, risk and expense of production (provided the Royalty shall be subject to Specified Post-Production Costs and Specified Taxes as provided in Section 2.1(e)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Master
Conveyance, Grantee shall never personally be responsible for paying any part of the costs, expenses or liabilities incurred in connection with the operating, owning and/or maintaining of the Subject Interests, including any Specified Taxes or
Specified Post-Production Costs (which shall be deducted from Gross Proceeds and paid by Grantor as provided in Section 2.1(e)).

to be excluded from the application of Subchapter K, Chapter 1, Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and agree not to take any position inconsistent with such election. IN ADDITION, THE

FOR THE SATISFACTION AND REALIZATION OF THE OVERRIDING ROYALTY INTEREST. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE TO FILE ALL APPLICABLE TAX RETURNS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTENDED TAX TREATMENT STATED ABOVE. ALL PROVISIONS OF THIS MASTER CONVEYANCE AND THE

adjacent to or where the Existing Subject Interests are located, and upon the acquisition of any Add-On Lease after the Effective Date Grantor shall provide written notice to Grantee of such acquisition and the parish adjacent to or where the Add-On
Lease is located and Grantor and Grantee shall cause a Memorandum to be filed in the real property records of such parish if the Memorandum is not then filed in such real property records of such parish or an amendment to the Memorandum to be filed

  EXHIBIT C 

Recordable Memorandum 

  
  C-1









 MEMORANDUM OF CONVEYANCE 

This Memorandum of Conveyance (the “Memorandum”), is executed to be effective concurrently with that Master Conveyance
of Overriding Royalty Interest, dated as of [            ], 2013 (the “Master Conveyance”), by and between McMoRan Oil & Gas LLC, as grantor
(“Grantor”), and Gulf Coast Ultra Deep Royalty Trust, as grantee (“Grantee”), covering among other things the conveyance of an overriding royalty interest in certain oil, gas and/or mineral properties in the areas
described in Exhibit “A” (such areas, the “Prospect Areas”). 
 The purpose of this Memorandum
is to place third parties on notice of the Master Conveyance. This Memorandum incorporates by reference all of the terms and conditions of the Master Conveyance, and all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed
to them in the Master Conveyance. 
 The Master Conveyance provides, among other things, that: 

 

	 	1.	The interests of Grantor and its Affiliates under Leases acquired on or prior to December 5, 2017, related to the Prospect Areas are subject to and burdened with
the terms and provisions of the Master Conveyance to the extent such interests cover hydrocarbons produced from the Subject Formations (the “Subject Interests”). 


 

	 	2.	Grantee is entitled to an Overriding Royalty Interest with respect to each Subject Interest of 5%, proportionately reduced to the extent the Subject Interest is less
than 100% of the Working Interest applicable to the Subject Formations under a Lease to which such Subject Interest relates. 

  

	 	3.	The Subject Interests which are subject hereto may not be assigned or transferred by Grantor or its Affiliates except in accordance with those terms, provisions and
restrictions in the Master Conveyance regulating such transfers. 

  

	 	4.	Each Overriding Royalty Interest will be carved out of the Working Interest of Grantor and its Affiliates represented by the Subject Interests at the time the
Overriding Royalty Interest is granted. The Effective Time of each Overriding Royalty Interest assigned will be the date of the Recordable Conveyance assigning such Overriding Royalty Interest to Grantee, provided if Production with respect to such
Subject Interests shall have first occurred prior to the date of such Recordable Conveyance the Effective Time shall be the first day on which Production was first obtained from any Subject Interest to which such Recordable Conveyance relates.


  

	 	5.	 Notwithstanding the foregoing and Section 5.2 of the Master Conveyance, from time to time Grantor and its Affiliates may assign a portion
of their Working Interest in a Lease (or any Well attributable thereto) to third parties free and clear of the Overriding Royalty Interest to the extent necessary to satisfy the obligations of Grantor and its Affiliates existing as of
            , 2013 [NTD: insert the date of the Master Conveyance] or which may arise after             , 2013, in
connection with the good faith efforts of Grantor and its Affiliates to acquire 



  
 2 









	 	
Leases and/or enter into development and participation agreements with respect to the development of the Subject Formations; provided that no such assignment shall be permitted, and shall be void
ab initio, unless certain conditions specified in Section 2.1(h) of the Master Conveyance are satisfied. 

  

	 	6.	If Grantor or any of its Affiliates is ever liable for any indebtedness or hedging obligation, Grantor will ensure that (i) with respect to any Lease that is
burdened by any Lien or security interest securing such indebtedness or hedging obligation, at least five percent (5%) (proportionately reduced) of Grantor’s rights and interests in such Lease attributable to the Subject Interests is
excluded from such lien and security interest and (ii) the terms and conditions of such indebtedness or hedging obligation will not prevent or otherwise restrict Grantor from satisfying its obligations under the Master Conveyance or any
Recordable Conveyance and will require any party secured under such arrangement to agree to release its lien or security interest, if any, to the extent required to permit the grant of Overriding Royalty Interest in accordance with the terms hereof.


  

	 	7.	If the closing of an ORRI Transfer occurs, then (i) upon the closing of the ORRI Transfer this Memorandum shall be amended to identify the ORRI Purchase Price as
determined in accordance with the Master Conveyance and (ii) at any time after the closing of an ORRI Transfer until the [ ][NTD: INSERT ACTUAL END DATE AS SPECIFIED IN THE MASTER CONVEYANCE], Grantor shall have the right and option (the
“ORRI Purchase Option”) to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Overriding Royalty Interests at a price equal to the ORRI Purchase Price. Grantor may exercise the ORRI Purchase Option by providing written notice (the
“ORRI Purchase Notice”) to Grantee and tendering to Grantee the full ORRI Purchase Price (the time of such tender, the “ORRI Purchase Option Closing”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
the account designated in writing by such Person after receipt of the ORRI Purchase Notice. 

 The following terms
shall have the definitions given to them below: 
 “Leases” shall mean any Oil, Gas and/or other mineral lease
covering or otherwise related to all or any portion of (a) a Prospect Area, (b) any area with which all or any portion of a Prospect Area is aggregated by unitization, pooling or similar aggregation principles, (c) all other rights
in, to or under any other instrument or fee tract related to, and all other rights to drill for, develop and produce Hydrocarbons from, a Prospect Area and any area with which all or any portion of a Prospect Area is aggregated by unitization,
pooling or similar aggregation principles and (d) following December 5, 2017, any replacement lease taken upon or in anticipation of expiration or termination of any such Lease (if executed and delivered during the term of or within one
year after expiration of the predecessor Lease), insofar only as any such replacement lease covers the Subject Formations under the same lands described in the original Lease. 

  
 3 








 “Subject Formations” shall mean the geologic formation (or formations) covered by
or subject to any Lease the base of which is below 18,000 feet true vertical depth subsea (measured from sea level, whether onshore or offshore), but shall not include (i) perforated intervals shallower than 18,000 feet true vertical depth
subsea (measured from sea level, whether onshore or offshore), or (ii) as respects OCS 0310, depths shallower than the salt or salt weld as seen in the South Marsh Island Block 217 No. 234 Well (which are deeper than 18,000 feet true
vertical depth subsea measured from sea level). 
 The Master Conveyance includes other provisions which do not conflict but
supplement the above described provisions. Should any person or firm desire additional information regarding the Master Conveyance or wish to inspect a copy of the Master Conveyance, said person or firm should contact the Grantor. 

This Memorandum is intended to be a description of certain terms of the Master Conveyance for the purpose of placing notice of such
provisions of public record, and is not intended to modify or alter the terms of the Master Conveyance To the extent any provision of this Memorandum conflicts with any provision of the Master Conveyance, the terms of the Master Conveyance shall
control. 
 This Memorandum may be executed by Grantor and Grantee in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
to be an original instrument, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. For purposes of recording, only one copy of this Memorandum with individual signature pages attached to it needs to be filed of record.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Grantor and Grantee have executed this Memorandum on this
[            ] day of [            ], 2013.
