FURTHER ASSURANCES 
 From
time to time after the date hereof, and without any further consideration, each of the Parties shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such additional instruments, notices and other documents, and will do all such other acts and things, all in
accordance with applicable law, as may be necessary or appropriate to more fully and effectively carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that the Parties have
used their good faith efforts to identify all of the assets contributed to the DevCos and NBLMH as required in connection with this Agreement, including in the recitals hereto. However, due to the age of some of the assets and the difficulties in
locating appropriate data with respect to some of the assets, it is possible that assets intended to be contributed ultimately to the DevCos and NBLMH were not identified and therefore are not included in the assets described herein. It is the
express intent of the Parties that the DevCos and NBLMH own all assets necessary to operate the assets that are identified in this Agreement, including in the recitals hereto. To the extent that any assets were not identified but are necessary to
the operation of the assets that are so identified in this Agreement, including in the recitals hereto, then the intent of the Parties is that all such unidentified assets are intended to be conveyed to the DevCos and NBLMH pursuant to this
Agreement. If any such assets are identified at a later date, the Parties shall take all appropriate action required in order to convey such assets to any applicable DevCo or NBLMH. Further, to the extent that any assets that are conveyed to any
DevCo or NBLMH hereunder are later identified by the Parties as assets that the Parties did not intend to convey to any DevCo or NBLMH, the Parties shall take all appropriate action required to convey such assets to the appropriate Noble Entity.

 Without limiting any liabilities or remedies of the Parties applicable under this Agreement or any other agreements, if and to the extent
that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment of any assets by any Party to any other Party or the acquisition of any assets from any Party by any other Party would be a violation of applicable law or require any additional consents,
approvals or notifications in connection with the transfer of such that have not been obtained or made by the Effective Time, then, unless the Parties shall otherwise mutually determine, the transfer or assignment of such assets shall be
automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer or assignment shall be null and void until such time as 

  
 8 









 
all legal impediments are removed or such consents, approvals and notifications have been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in such event the Parties shall (a) hold such
assets for the benefit of the applicable Party, (b) not transfer or assign such assets, in whole or in part, other than with the prior consent of the intended transferee, and (c) use their respective reasonable best efforts to assure that
the intended transferee receives all of the benefits of the assets attempted to have been transferred to such member until such time as the attempted transfer is complete, and the intended transferee shall bear all costs associated with such assets
(except costs associated with the attempted transfer or perfecting such transfer, and subject to offset of any benefits of the assets not received by the intended transferee against associated costs incurred by the Parties) as if the transfer had
been valid and complete.
