 Section 2.9
Other Business Pursuits; Competing Investments. 
 (a) Each Member acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections
2.9(b) and 12.9, but otherwise to the fullest extent permitted by Law, (i) each other Member and such other Member’s Affiliates (each, a “Competing Person”) may engage or invest in, and devote their time
to, such other business ventures, opportunities or activities as such Competing Persons may choose, whether or not any such venture, opportunity or activity is considered competitive with any of the Company Entities or their respective businesses
and whether or not any Company Entity, each other Member or such other Member’s Affiliates participate in any such venture, opportunity or activity without providing the applicable Company Entity, each other Member or such other Member’s
Affiliates the right to participate in such other venture, opportunity or activity (such rights of the Competing Persons, collectively, the “Right to Compete”), (ii) none of the Company Entities, any Member nor any
Member’s Affiliates shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement or the relationship created hereby in or to any such other venture, opportunity or activity (or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom), notwithstanding any duty
(fiduciary or otherwise) existing at Law or in equity, and (iii) the 

  
 3 









 
pursuit of any such other venture, opportunity or activity shall not be deemed wrongful or improper or a violation of this Agreement or of any duty (fiduciary or otherwise) existing at Law or in
equity. Subject to Section 2.9(b), the Right to Compete of each Competing Person shall not require notice to, approval from or any other sharing with any other Member or Company Entity. Subject to Sections 2.9(b) and
12.9, but otherwise to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the legal doctrines of “corporate opportunity,” “business opportunity” and similar doctrines shall not be applied to any such other venture, opportunity or
activity in which any Competing Person may engage or invest or to which any Competing Person may devote its time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, title to the Assets shall be deemed to be owned by the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) as an
entity, and no Member, Manager or Officer or any other Subsidiary of the Company shall have any ownership interest in such Assets, and no Competing Person shall have any authority or otherwise be entitled to use any Asset in exercising the Right to
Compete of such Competing Person. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 2.9(a), until an IPO or Breakup, none of the
Members, any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or any of their respective direct or indirect Transferees, may make any debt, equity or other investment in, or directly or indirectly control, own an economic interest in, or directly or
indirectly operate or otherwise participate in the management of, any upstream oil or gas assets (excluding minerals or royalties) within the AMI (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding Midstream Assets) without first presenting in writing such
investment opportunity to the Board (a “Competing Opportunity Notice”) and allowing the Company an opportunity to participate in such investment opportunity for the benefit of the Company on economic and ownership terms
materially no less favorable than those available to such Person; provided, that this Section 2.9(b) shall not apply to (i) curative acquisitions by a Member or its Affiliates pursuant to and in accordance with
the Contribution Agreement, or (ii) the acquisition or ownership, directly or indirectly, of less than 10% of the voting securities of a publicly traded Person. Subject to Section 4.3(c), if a majority of the Managers
that were not designated by the Member(s) delivering the Competing Opportunity Notice do not provide their consent to invest in such investment opportunity, which consent may be withheld in their sole discretion, within 30 days of receiving a
Competitive Opportunity Notice, or the Company does not close such investment within 90 days upon receipt of such Competitive Opportunity Notice, then such Party shall have an additional 90 days to invest in such project on its own or with others on
terms no less favorable than those presented to the Company. After such 90-day period, any proposed investment shall once again be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Section 2.9(b) to the extent provided herein. 
 ARTICLE 3 

CAPITALIZATION; UNITS 

Section 3.1 Member Interests. 

(a) At Closing, LEH will hold a Member Interest evidenced by the number of Units set forth opposite its name on
Appendix II, which will result in LEH having the Percentage Interest in the Company as of the Closing set forth opposite its name on Appendix II. 

  
 4 









 (b) At Closing, Citizen will hold a Member Interest evidenced by the number of Units set forth
opposite its name on Appendix II, which will result in Citizen having the Percentage Interest in the Company as of the Closing set forth opposite its name on Appendix II. 

Section 3.2 Units. The Member Interests in the Company are divided into units (the
“Units”). The Company has authorized an aggregate of up to 10,000,000,000 Units that may be held by the Members (the “Authorized Units”). The Units that are held by the Members as of the Closing are as
set forth on the Member Schedule attached as Appendix II. For the avoidance of doubt, fractional Units shall be permitted to be held by the Members under this Agreement. The Units shall not be certificated. 

Section 3.3 Capital Contributions. 

(a) Initial Capital Contributions by Linn Parties and Citizen Parties. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and in exchange for their
respective initial Member Interests, (i) Linn has made an initial Capital Contribution to the Company of the Linn Assets, and (ii) Citizen has made an initial Capital Contribution to the Company of the Citizen Assets. 

(b) Additional Member Capital Contributions. Except as may be required by the most recent Annual Plan approved by the Board or pursuant
to Section 9.1(d)(iv), no Member shall be obligated to make or commit to make any Capital Contributions to the Company without its prior written consent. From time to time, the Members may, but shall not be obligated to,
make other additional Capital Contributions in amounts that the Board may request in writing pursuant to any formal action by the Board to request such contributions in the manner set forth in Section 4.3(a)(v), and in
connection with any Capital Contributions so made, the Company shall issue Units to the Members in respect thereof in accordance with Section 3.2. Any such additional Capital Contributions shall be made in proportion to
each Member’s respective Percentage Interests. To the extent one or more Members do not make additional Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 3.3(b), or such additional Capital Contributions are not made in
proportion to such Member’s respective Percentage Interests (in each case, other than in the event of a Default as provided in Section 3.4), then each Member’s Percentage Interest shall be adjusted based on the
Units issued in exchange for such Capital Contributions and the application of the formula contained in the definition of “Percentage Interest” set forth herein. 

(c) Loans by Members. No Member, as such, shall be required to lend any funds to the Company or to make any additional contribution of
capital to the Company, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or the express provisions of this Agreement. Any Member may make loans to the Company on terms approved by the Board, and any loan by a Member to the Company shall not be
considered to be a Capital Contribution. 
 Section 3.4 Defaults. 

(a) In the event that a Member provides its written consent to make a Capital Contribution in accordance with
Section 3.3(b) or is required to make a Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(iv) (each, a “Supplemental Capital Contribution”) or has otherwise committed to make
a Capital Contribution under an Annual Plan (each, a “Planned Capital 

  
 5 









 
Contribution”) but fails to make such Capital Contribution to the Company in full when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such failure is not
cured within 15 Business Days of such Member’s receipt of written notice from the Company in respect thereof (such event a “Default” and such Member a “Defaulting Member”), then the amount of the
Capital Contribution that is in default (“Defaulted Commitment”) shall accrue interest at the Default Rate from the date due until the earlier of (i) the date such Member pays the full amount of the Defaulted Commitment
or (ii) the date Default Loans are made to such Member as provided herein (following which time such Default Loans shall bear interest in the manner described below). A Default by a Member shall be deemed to also be a Default by any other
Members that are Affiliates of such Defaulting Member. 
 (b) If a Member commits a Default, and such Default is not cured within 15 Business
Days of the written notice of the Default to such Member, then distributions that would be made to such Defaulting Member in accordance with this Agreement shall be withheld by the Company for the purpose of offsetting the Defaulting Member’s
Defaulted Commitment until all amounts owed by the Defaulting Member are paid in full. 
 (c) The Company may, in its sole discretion, upon
at least 10 Business Days’ notice, request each non-defaulting Member to advance to the Company its respective pro rata portion of a Defaulted Commitment. Any advance made by a non-defaulting Member (“Advancing Member”) shall constitute a loan (“Default Loan”) from the Advancing Member to the Defaulting Member, the proceeds of which shall be
used to pay the amount of the Defaulted Commitment. Any Default Loan shall be payable on demand by the Defaulting Member and accrue interest at the Default Rate. Any Default Loan made by a Member shall have the effect of reducing any future Capital
Contributions required to be made by such Member under this Agreement to the extent that the Default Loan has not been repaid in accordance with Section 3.4(d). 

(d) The Company shall pay and distribute all amounts that the Company would otherwise distribute to a Defaulting Member as follows and in the
following order of priority: (i) first, to the Company to pay the costs and expenses incurred as a result of the Default; (ii) second, to the Advancing Members to repay any related Default Loans, with interest; (iii) third, to the
Company to pay interest accrued on the amount in default pursuant to Section 3.4(a); (iv) fourth, to the Company to pay the amount in default (to the extent it has not been paid out of the proceeds of a Default Loan); and
(v) fifth, to the Defaulting Member (to the extent of any remaining amounts). All payments made pursuant to this Section 3.4(d) shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have been distributed or paid to the
Defaulting Member. 
 (e) In addition to the remedies described above, in the event of a Default with respect to a Planned Capital
Contribution, the Company may, in its sole discretion, upon at least 10 Business Days’ notice, request each non-defaulting Member to make an additional Capital Contribution in an amount equal to its
respective pro rata portion of the Defaulted Commitment. To the extent one or more Members make additional Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 3.3(e), then each Member’s Percentage Interest shall be adjusted
based on the Units issued in exchange for such Capital Contributions and the application of the formula contained in the definition of “Percentage Interest” set forth herein. Also, while in Default of a Planned


  
 6 









 
Capital Contribution, the Defaulting Member shall not be entitled to vote its Member Interest on matters pertaining to the Company, any Manager designated by such Defaulting Member shall not have
the right to vote on, and such Manager’s vote shall not be required for, any Board action and such Manager’s presence shall not be required for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, until all amounts owed by the Defaulting
Member are paid in full. 
 (f) The remedies provided for in this Section 3.4 are not exclusive, but are cumulative
and in addition to any other rights or remedies the Company or the non-defaulting Members may have at law or in equity against a Defaulting Member. In no event shall the exercise of any of the remedies
provided for in this Section 3.4 release a Defaulting Member from its continuing obligation to make any Capital Contributions required under this Agreement. 

Section 3.5 No Resignation or Expulsion. A Member may not take any action to resign, withdraw
or retire as a Member voluntarily, and a Member may not be expelled or otherwise be removed involuntarily as a Member, prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company, other than as a result of a permitted Transfer of all of such
Member’s Member Interest and associated Units in accordance with Article 8 and each of the transferees of such Member Interest and associated Units being admitted as a Substitute Member. A Member shall cease to be a Member only in the
manner described in Article 8. 
 Section 3.6 Section 704(b) Capital Accounts. 

(a) A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be established and maintained for each Member in accordance
with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Each Member’s Capital Account (i) shall be increased by (A) the amount of money contributed by such Member to the
Company, (B) the initial Book Value of property contributed by such Member to the Company (net of liabilities secured by the contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752), (C)
allocations to such Member of Profits pursuant to Section 9.2(a) and any other items of income or gain allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 9.2(b), and (D) any other increases allowed
or required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), and (ii) shall be decreased by (A) the amount of money distributed to such Member by the Company, (B) the Book Value of
property distributed to such Member by the Company (net of liabilities secured by the distributed property that such Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752), (C) allocations to such Member of Losses pursuant to
Section 9.2(a) and any other items of loss or deduction allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 9.2(b), and (D) any other decreases allowed or required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). A Member that has more than one class or series of Units shall have a single Capital Account that reflects all such Units; provided, however, that the Capital Accounts
shall be maintained in such manner as will facilitate a determination of the portion of each Capital Account attributable to each class or series of Units. 

(b) In the event of a Transfer of Units made in accordance with this Agreement, the Capital Account of the Transferor that is attributable to
the transferred Units shall carry over to the Transferee Member in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(l).

 ARTICLE 4 

MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY 

Section 4.1 Board of Managers; Board Composition. 

(a) Except (i) as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 4.5 or (ii) as required under the Delaware Act,
the Members delegate full and complete authority, power and discretion to the board of managers of the Company (the “Board”) to manage, operate and control the business, affairs and Assets of the Company Entities. 

(b) The Board shall consist of eight managers appointed by the Members (collectively, the “Managers”). LEH shall be
entitled to elect four natural persons to serve as Managers (collectively, the “Linn Manager Group”) and Citizen shall be entitled to elect four natural persons to serve as Managers (collectively, the “Citizen
Manager Group”). The Board shall appoint one of the Managers to serve as the Chairman of the Board (the “Chairman”). Upon appointment of a Chief Executive Officer, the Board may appoint such Chief Executive
Officer as a Manager of the Board such that the Board would be expanded to nine (9) Managers, provided that, upon such appointment, all decisions of the Board would continue to require the voting standard applied by
Section 4.2(a). For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the IPO Execution Date, each of LEH and Citizen will retain the right to appoint the Linn Manager Group and the Citizen Manager Group, respectively, regardless of any
Transfers of less than 100% of their respective Member Interests. The initial Managers designated by each of LEH and Citizen are set forth on Appendix III. 

(c) A number of observers and advisors equal to the number of Managers designated by such Member may attend Board meetings in a non-voting capacity; provided that each such observer and advisor acknowledges and agrees that any information received by such Person shall be used only for the purpose of evaluating the matters discussed at
such meeting or advising a Member with respect to its rights and obligations hereunder, and that: 
 (i) the Company reserves the right to
exclude each observer or advisor from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Company believes upon advice of counsel that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege or to protect highly
confidential proprietary information; and 
 (ii) any such designees, as a condition of each such designee becoming an observer, shall each
enter into a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, which agreement shall provide for, among other things, usual and customary confidentiality
and non-disclosure obligations in respect of any information obtained in such person’s capacity as an observer. 

(d) The Managers need not be residents of the State of Delaware. Each Manager shall hold office until such Manager’s successor shall be
duly designated or until such Manager’s earlier death, removal or resignation. Each Founding Member Group shall have the right to change its Managers at any time by giving notice of such change to the Company and each other Member, and such
change shall be effective as of the date specified in such notice. 

  
 8 









 (e) A Person that serves as a Manager shall not be required to be a Manager as his/her sole and
exclusive occupation, and Managers may have other business interests and may engage in other investments, occupations and activities in addition to those relating to the Company. 

(f) A Manager may resign from the position of Manager at any time by giving written notice to the Members and the Chief Executive Officer. The
resignation of a Manager shall take effect upon receipt of notice thereof or at such later time as shall be specified in such notice; and unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it
effective. 
 (g) A Manager may be removed or replaced at any time from the Board, with or without cause, upon and only upon the written
request of such Member entitled to elect such Manager in accordance with Section 4.1(b) (the “Designating Member”); provided that, if the Chief Executive Officer is appointed as a Manager
pursuant to Section 4.1(b), he or she may only be removed upon the written request of the Board. A Manager other than the Chief Executive Officer shall automatically cease to be a Manager immediately after the Person who
designated such Manager ceases to be a Member unless such Member’s Transferee indicates to the Company its intention to designate the same Manager. This Agreement does not, and is not intended to, confer upon any Manager any rights with respect
to continued employment by the Company, and nothing herein should be construed to have created any employment agreement with any Manager. 

(h) Any vacancy in the position of a Manager that is created by the death, removal or resignation of a Manager shall be filled by the
Designating Member, except with respect to the Chief Executive Officer serving as a Manager, whose Board seat shall be filled by the Board in the event of a vacancy. A Manager designated to fill a vacancy shall hold office until a successor shall be
designated, or until such Manager’s earlier death, removal or resignation. In the event that the Designating Member shall fail to designate in writing a representative to fill a vacant Manager position on the Board, and such failure shall
continue for more than 30 days after written notice from the Company to the Designating Member with respect to such failure, then the vacant position shall be filled by an individual designated by the Managers then in office; provided that
such individual shall be removed from such position if the Designating Member so directs and simultaneously designates a new Manager. 
 (i)
A Manager shall not be entitled to any direct compensation from the Company for serving as a Manager. The Company shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by its Managers in their capacities as Managers. Nothing contained in this Section 4.1(i) shall be construed to preclude any Manager from serving the Company in any other capacity and receiving reasonable
compensation for such services. 
 Section 4.2 Voting; Quorum; Meetings; Committees. 

(a) Voting. Each Manager shall be entitled to one vote. Subject to Sections 2.9(b), 3.4(b) and 4.3(c), on all
matters requiring the vote or action of the Board, any action undertaken by the Board (whether conducted at a meeting or by written consent) must be authorized by the majority vote of all Managers, including at least two Managers of each of the Linn
Manager Group and the Citizen Manager Group. 

  
 9 









 (b) Quorum. Subject to Sections 3.4(b) and 4.3(c), the presence (either in
person or by remote communication or proxy pursuant to Section 4.2(c)(v)) of a majority of the Managers (including at least two Managers of each of the Linn Manager Group and Citizen Manager Group) shall be necessary and
sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board. 
 (c) Meetings of the Board. 

(i) Meetings. The Board shall meet at least once per Calendar Quarter, beginning with the Calendar Quarter after which the Closing
occurs, or more frequently as the Board may determine. All meetings of the Board shall be held at the principal offices of the Company, or elsewhere as the Board may decide, which alternate location may be within or outside the State of Delaware.
The Chief Executive Officer or any Manager may call a meeting of the Board by giving notice to the Managers at least 72 hours in advance of such meeting, unless such notice period is waived by the Managers (the “Required
Notice”). 
 (ii) Notice of Meetings; Information. Each Required Notice shall contain (A) the date, time and
location of the meeting, (B) an agenda of the matters and proposals to be considered or voted upon and (C) copies of all proposals to be considered at the meeting, including appropriate supporting information not previously distributed to
the Managers (all such information, the “Required Notice Information”). A Manager may add matters to the agenda for such meeting by notice to each other Manager, which notice shall include any additional proposals being
proposed by such Manager to be considered at the meeting (including appropriate supporting information not previously distributed to the Managers). Upon the request of a Manager, and with the consent of all other Managers, the Board may consider at
a meeting a proposal not contained in such meeting agenda. Without the consent of all Managers, the Board may not consider at a meeting any proposal that was not sent to all Managers with the Required Notice and accompanied with the Required Notice
Information. 
 (iii) Written Consent in Lieu of Meetings. Any action of the Board or a committee of the Board that could be taken at
a meeting may be taken without a meeting by means of a written consent action signed by each of the Managers as would be necessary to approve such action at a meeting. Such consent will have the same force and effect as an affirmative vote at a duly
constituted meeting that is cast by those Managers who have signed the consent, and the execution of such consent will constitute attendance or presence in person at a meeting of the Board. Any action taken by written consent will promptly be
delivered to any of the Managers who did not sign such written consent. 
 (iv) Records of Meetings. The Secretary shall make a
record of each proposal voted on and the results of such voting at such Board meeting. The Secretary shall maintain a minute book containing (A) the original Formation Certificate and all amendments thereto, (B) a record of any committee
established by the Board, together with a copy of the rules adopted for such committee and a record of the activities of such committee, (C) a copy of the 

  
 10 









 
minutes of Board and committee meetings, including a record of all Board decisions taken at any Board meeting, (D) a record of all Board decisions taken by written consent, and (E) the
then-current Member Schedule. The Secretary shall provide each Member with a copy of the minutes of each Board meeting and committee meeting following approval of such minutes at the next regularly scheduled Board or committee meeting. 

(v) Remote Participation; Proxies. Managers may attend and participate in any meeting by conference telephone or similar remote
communications equipment by which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Any Manager (whether or not expecting to be absent from a meeting) shall be entitled to designate another Manager as a proxy to act on behalf and in lieu
of such Manager with respect to such meeting to the same extent and with the same force and effect as the Manager who has designated such proxy. The proxy shall be provided to the Company prior to any such meeting and shall thereafter be part of the
records of the Company. 
 (vi) Attendance as Waiver of Notice. Attendance of any Manager at any meeting of the Board (including by
conference telephone or similar remote communication equipment or by proxy to another Manager) shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where such Manager attends the meeting and objects to the transaction of any business on the
ground that the meeting is not properly called or convened and notifies each other Manager at such meeting of such objection. 
 (d) Board
Committees; Meetings. The Board may establish such committees as it may deem appropriate, together with the rules governing the activities of such committees, including rules governing the purpose of such committee and the period of time for
which such committee will exist. Meetings of each committee shall take place as often as the Board or such committee shall determine and shall be held in the principal offices of the Company, or elsewhere as such committee may decide, which
alternate location may be within or outside the State of Delaware. Except as set forth in Section 4.2(e), the functions of such committees shall be to serve in an advisory capacity only and such committees shall have no
authority to, and shall take no action that would, bind the Company. Each Founding Member Group shall have the right to designate an agreed upon number of representatives to serve on each committee; provided, however, that a
representative of each Founding Member Group shall serve on each committee unless otherwise agreed by each Founding Member Group. 
 (e)
Operating Committee. 
 (i) Pursuant to, and without limiting the generality of, Section 4.2(d), there is
hereby established an operating committee (the “Operating Committee”) composed of representatives appointed by the Board, subject to the following terms and conditions. The Operating Committee shall consist of six natural
persons (each, an “Operating Committee Member”), with each Founding Member Group being entitled to appoint three of the Operating Committee Members. The initial Operating Committee Members designated by each of LEH and
Citizen are set forth on Appendix IV. Each Operating Committee Member shall hold office until such person’s successor shall be duly designated as set forth in this Section 4.2(e) or until such
person’s earlier death, resignation or removal by the Founding Member Group that appointed such Operating Committee Member. Each Founding Member Group shall have the 

  
 11 









 
right to remove any of its designated Operating Committee Members at any time by giving notice of such removal to the Board, and such change shall be effective as of the date specified in such
notice. Any vacancy in the position of an Operating Committee Member shall be filled by a natural person designated by the Founding Member Group that designated the predecessor for such position. Upon appointment of a Chief Executive Officer of the
Company by the Board, the Operating Committee shall be expanded by one position and the Chief Executive Officer shall fill such additional position as an Operating Committee Member. Notwithstanding the above, the Chief Executive Officer shall have
the right to request the Board to, and the Board shall, dissolve the Operating Committee at any time following his appointment. All decisions of the Operating Committee, whether before or after the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer, shall
require the approval of a majority of the Operating Committee Members, which majority must include the affirmative vote of at least one Operating Committee Member appointed by each Founding Member Group. 

(ii) Unless otherwise agreed to by the Board, the Operating Committee shall meet at least once per calendar month to (A) discuss
operational results and the status of operations, (B) take such action on behalf of the Company, including any necessary delegation to officers, employees, representative and agents of the Company, as necessary to implement the Services (as
defined in each of (1) that certain Management Services Agreement, of even date herewith, by and between LOI and the Company (the “Linn MSA”), and (2) that certain Management Services Agreement, of even date
herewith, by and between Citizen and the Company (the “Citizen MSA”)), as well as development operations described in the Linn Assets Development Plan (as defined in the Linn MSA) and development operations described in the
Citizen Assets Development Plan (as defined in the Citizen MSA) and (C) discuss such other matters as may be reasonably proposed by the Operating Committee Members. All meetings shall be called by any Operating Committee Member giving notice to
the other Operating Committee Members at least 48 hours in advance of such meeting, along with an agenda for such meeting (which shall include any items that an Operating Committee Member reasonably requests to have included on such agenda). All
meetings shall be held at such location or locations as the Operating Committee determines from time to time; provided that the Operating Committee Members shall be allowed to participate telephonically in any such meeting. Each Operating Committee
Member may also bring any advisors it deems appropriate to any meeting of the Operating Committee; provided that notice of the attendance of such advisors at a meeting is provided to each Operating Committee Member at least 24 hours in advance of
such meeting. The Operating Committee and the Board may, from time to time, establish other policies and procedures for the Operating Committee. 

(iii) The Operating Committee Members shall appoint a secretary that shall take the minutes of each meeting of the Operating Committee, and
the minutes of each meeting shall be distributed to the Board within five Business Days after such meeting.

(a) The Officers of the Company may consist of a Chief Executive Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, a Chief Operating Officer, one or more

the Delaware Act. Any number of Officer positions of the Company may be held by the same natural person. Each Officer shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified (or his or her earlier death, resignation or removal from
office). Any Officer may resign at any time by delivering his or her written resignation to the Board. 
 (b) Any Officer may be removed at

Accordingly, subject to the preceding sentence, each Manager shall be entitled to act solely on behalf, and in the interests, of the Member that has designated such Manager. For the avoidance of doubt, any Officer that is not an employee, partner or
member of a Member or its Affiliates shall owe duties to the Company as set forth in the Delaware Act and any other applicable Law. 
 (b)
The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, eliminate or otherwise modify the duties (including the fiduciary duties) and liabilities of a Member, Manager or Officer otherwise existing under applicable Law or in equity, are
agreed by the Company and the Members to replace such duties and liabilities of such Member, Manager or Officer. 
 (c) Nothing in this

the absence of a Chief Executive Officer, the other Officers) shall submit to the Board a proposed operating budget and development plan for such Fiscal Year (each, an “Annual Plan”). The Board shall consider the


  
 16 









 
Annual Plan for approval pursuant to Section 4.3 prior to the start of the Fiscal Year to which it pertains and shall use all reasonable efforts to resolve any
disagreements as to any item contained in the Annual Plan prior to such time. If any Annual Plan submitted to the Board in accordance with this Section 4.7 is not approved by the Board prior to the start of the Fiscal Year
to which it pertains, then pending approval of a new Annual Plan pursuant to Section 4.3, the Annual Plan most recently approved by the Board pursuant to Section 4.3, excluding all non-recurring items, shall remain in effect as the Annual Plan for the next Fiscal Year, adjusted upwards by increasing the recurring fees, costs, expenses and maintenance capital expenditures set forth in such
Annual Plan by 5.0% (except that if the Annual Plan for the 2018 Fiscal Year of the Company is not approved by the Board prior to the start of such Fiscal Year, then the Initial Strategic Plan will continue in effect). 

Section 4.8 Deadlock. 

(a) Commencing after the IPO Execution Date, if an IPO has not occurred and the Managers become deadlocked over any matter set forth in
Section 4.3(a) (a “Disputed Matter”), any Manager may, within thirty days of such deadlock, notify the other Managers in writing that such Disputed Matter shall be voted on again by the Managers at a
special meeting that shall be held no later than 10 Business Days from the date of such notification. Such Disputed Matter on which the Managers have been unable to agree shall be discussed by the Managers during such 10 Business Day-period and shall be voted upon during the special meeting at the end of such period. If at the special meeting the Managers are unable to come to agreement on the Disputed Matter, such Disputed Matter shall be
deemed to be a “Deadlock” and the Parties shall have the rights set forth in Section 4.8(b). 

(b) 
 (i) Upon a Deadlock, either
Founding Member Group (such group, the “Initiating Member”) shall have the right to initiate a breakup of the Company (a “Breakup”) by delivering written notice thereof to the other Founding Member
Group (the “Breakup Notice”). For a 30-day period beginning on the date of such notice, the Founding Member Groups shall use reasonable best efforts to negotiate in good faith a
separation of the Assets into two separate groups equivalent (in terms of assets, liabilities and operatorship) to the Percentage Interests of each of the Linn Founding Member Group and the Citizen Founding Member Group. 

(ii) If after such 30-day period the Founding Member Groups are unable to reach agreement on a
separation of the Assets, the following shall apply: 
 (A) If the Founding Member Groups each own equivalent 50% interests in the Company,
the Initiating Member shall have an additional 30 days to divide the Assets into two groups of equivalent assets, liabilities and operatorship; provided that, if the Initiating Member fails to divide the Assets within such 30-day period, then the Initiating Member will be deemed to have waived its right to make such division, and, at the election of the non-initiating Founding Member Group, the non-initiating Founding Member Group will have an additional 30 days to divide the Assets as contemplated by the preceding sentence. Following such division, the
non-initiating Founding Member Group shall have up to an additional 20 

  
 17 









 
Business Days to conduct a review of the division and select, by written notice to the other Party within such 20 Business Day-period, which of the two
groups of Assets it would receive in the Breakup; provided that, if the non-initiating Founding Member Group (or if applicable, the Initiating Member) fails to deliver such written notice within such 20
Business Day-period, then such Party will be deemed to have waived its right to make the first selection of the two groups of Assets, and, at the election of the other Party, the other Party shall have 10
Business Days to select which of the two groups of Assets it would receive in the Breakup. The Initiating Member (or if applicable, the non-initiating Founding Member Group) would then receive the other group
of Assets. 
 (B) If the Members do not each own equivalent 50% interests in the Company, the Members shall mutually designate an
independent third party expert to allocate the Assets into two pools with assets, liabilities and operatorship divided based on the Members’ respective percentage ownership of the Company, without any discount for minority interests or
illiquidity. Such expert must be a national petroleum engineering or investment banking firm with expertise in the energy industry, with at least seven years of experience in valuing upstream assets of the nature held by the Company. Each Member
shall pay 50% of the expert’s costs and expenses. The expert shall have 30 days to divide the Assets into groups as contemplated above and upon division, each Member would receive the Assets assigned by the expert. 

(iii) Each Party will be required to assume the midstream contracts containing dedications burdening the respective Assets and use reasonable
best efforts to coordinate the bifurcation of any such midstream contract between the Parties with the counterparty thereof. 
 (iv) The
Members shall use reasonable best efforts to effectuate the Breakup in a manner that is tax efficient to all Parties and shall execute and deliver to the other Members such further documents as may be reasonably requested in order to give practical
effect to the Breakup. 
 (v) Upon completion of the Breakup, which shall occur as promptly after the Assets are divided but in any event no
later than six months after receipt of the Breakup Notice, the Members shall take action to dissolve and liquidate the Company pursuant to the provisions of Article 10. 

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions in this Section 4.8 shall not apply prior to the IPO Execution Date.

 ARTICLE 5 

INDEMNIFICATION 

Section 5.1 No Liability of Members. 

(a) Except as otherwise required by the Delaware Act, no Covered Person shall be obligated personally for any debt, obligation or liability of
any Company Entity solely by reason of being a Covered Person. 

  
 18 









 (b) Except as otherwise expressly required by Law, a Member in its capacity as a Member shall
have no liability in excess of: (i) the amount of its Capital Contributions to the Company, if any; (ii) its share of any assets and undistributed profits of the Company; (iii) its obligation to make other payments expressly provided
for in this Agreement; and (iv) the amount of any distributions wrongfully distributed to it. No Member shall have any responsibility to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account or to contribute to or in respect of the liabilities or
obligations of the Company or to return distributions made by the Company, except as expressly provided herein or required by any non-waivable provision of the Delaware Act. The agreement set forth in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a
compromise with the consent of all of the Members for purposes of §18-502(b) of the Delaware Act. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction or properly constituted arbitration panel orders, holds or
determines that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to restore any such negative balance, make any such contribution or make any such return, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of
any other Person. 
 Section 5.2 Exculpation. 

(a) No Covered Person shall be liable to any Company Entity or any other Covered Person for any loss, damage or Claim incurred by reason of any
act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person on behalf of the Company Entities and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement or a delegation of authority in
accordance with this Agreement, except that (i) a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or Claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct, (ii) a Covered Person that is a
Member shall be liable for any such loss, damage or Claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s willful breach of this Agreement and (iii) a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or Claim incurred by reason of such
Covered Person’s breach of any of his/her duties to the Company as set forth in this Agreement, in each case, as established by a non-appealable court order, judgment, decree or decision or pursuant to a
final and binding decision of an arbitration panel pursuant to Section 11.2. 
 (b) A Covered Person shall be fully
protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other
Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, Profits,
Losses or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of Assets from which distributions to the Members might properly be paid. 

(c) Except as expressly set forth in Section 4.6, no Covered Person shall have any duties or liabilities, including
fiduciary duties, to the Company or the Members, and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, eliminate or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of a Covered Person otherwise existing at

 Section 5.3 Indemnification. To the fullest extent
permitted by Law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person from and against all Liabilities actually incurred arising from or related to any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person on behalf of each
Company Entity, except that: (a) no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any Liability by reason of such Covered Person’s fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct; (b) no Covered Person that is a Member shall
be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any Liability by reason of such Covered Person’s willful breach of this Agreement; and (c) no Covered Person that is an Officer shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any Liability by
reason of such Covered Person’s breach of any of his/her duties to any Company Entity as set forth in Section 4.6(c), in each case, as established by a non-appealable court
order, judgment, decree or decision or pursuant to a final and binding decision of an arbitration panel pursuant to Section 11.2. Any indemnity under this Section 5.3 shall be provided out of and
to the extent of the Assets only (including the proceeds of any insurance policy obtained pursuant to Section 5.5), and no Covered Person shall have any personal liability on account thereof. Any amendment, modification or
repeal of this Section 5.3 or any provision in this Section 5.3 shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the rights of any Covered Person under this
Section 5.3 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when Liabilities
relating to such matters may arise or be asserted. 
 Section 5.4 Expenses. To the fullest
extent permitted by Law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any Claim shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final and non-appealable
disposition of such Claim upon demand of payment by a Covered Person and receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to
be indemnified as authorized in Section 5.3. 
 Section 5.5
Insurance. The Company shall purchase and maintain (or reimburse its Affiliates for the cost of) certain insurance on behalf of the Covered Persons, the Company, its Affiliates and such other Persons as the Company may determine
from time to time, insurance against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by such Person(s) in connection with the Company’s activities or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Company, regardless
of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person(s) against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. 

Section 5.6 Primary Obligation. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Covered Persons may
have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by a Member and certain of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Member Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (a) that it is the
indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the Covered Persons under Section 5.3 and Section 5.4 are primary and any obligation of the Member Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide
indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Covered Persons are secondary), (b) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Covered Persons and shall be liable for the full amount of
all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of Section 5.3 and Section 5.4 (or any other agreement between
the Company and the Covered Person), without regard to any rights the Covered Person may have against the Member Indemnitors, and (c) that 

  
 20 









 
the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Member Indemnitors from any and all Claims against the Member Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any
kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Member Indemnitors on behalf of a Covered Person with respect to any Claim for which the Covered Person has sought indemnification from the Company pursuant to
Section 5.3 and Section 5.4 shall affect the foregoing, and the Member Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the
rights of recovery of the Covered Person against the Company. The Company agrees that the Member Indemnitors who are not Members are express Third Party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 5.6.

TAX MATTERS 

Section 7.1 Tax Returns. LEH shall prepare, or shall cause to be prepared, and timely file
(taking into account available extensions of time to file), or shall cause to be timely filed (in such role, the “Tax Preparation Member”), all tax returns required to be filed by the Company, including making all elections
on such tax returns. Each Member shall timely provide, within 30 days of request, such information as requested by the Tax Preparation Member in order for the Company to properly complete and file such income tax returns and any other required
reports and notifications. The Company shall cause each Company Entity to furnish to the Tax Preparation Member all pertinent information in its possession relating to the Company’s operations that is necessary to enable the Tax Preparation
Member to prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, the Company’s tax returns. The Tax Preparation Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to each Member as soon as applicable after the end of each

the Code or any similar provisions of applicable State Law or (ii) to be classified as other than a partnership or a disregarded entity pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3. 

  
 23 









 Section 7.3 Tax Elections; Accounting Methods. The
Tax Preparation Member shall cause the Company (a) to make the election under Section 754 of the Code (and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries that is classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes
to make such election) and (b) to make any other election that the Tax Preparation Member deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, on the relevant form or tax return. The Tax Preparation Member shall establish, and shall be permitted to
change at its discretion, all accounting methods and shall decide all tax issues concerning the Company Entities the determination of which is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement. 

Section 7.4 Tax Matters Member and Partnership Representative. 

(a) Subject to Section 7.4(b), the Tax Preparation Member shall be the Company’s tax matters member (the
“Tax Matters Member”) pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code as in effect prior to January 1, 2018 (Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code as in effect prior to January 1, 2018 referred to as the
“Current Partnership Audit Rules”). As the Tax Matters Member, the Tax Preparation Member shall have the same authority as a tax matters partner as defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code and analogous provisions of
State and local law. Each Member hereby approves of such designation, agrees and acknowledges that the Tax Matters Member may engage such professional advisors as it may deem appropriate in carrying out its duties as Tax Matters Member and agrees to
execute such documents as may reasonably be necessary or appropriate to evidence such approval. The Tax Matters Member shall keep all Members informed of all administrative and judicial proceedings, as required by Code Section 6223(g), and
shall furnish a copy of each notice or other communication from government taxing authorities received by the Tax Matters Member, except such notices or communications as are sent directly to such Member by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company
shall pay or reimburse and be responsible for all reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Member and its Affiliates in performing those duties. The Company shall be responsible for any costs incurred by any Member with
respect to any tax audit or tax-related administrative or judicial proceeding against such Member related to the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, the Tax Matters Member shall have the right to defend
against any proposed adjustment by all appropriate proceedings, and consistent with Code Sections 6221 through 6233, each Member shall allow any proposed adjustment with respect to any “partnership item” (as defined in Code
Section 6231(a)(3)) to be handled by the Tax Matters Member; provided, however, that any settlement, adjustment or compromise with respect to any Member shall require the written consent of such Member, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Tax Matters Member and its respective officers, managers, employees and Representatives (collectively, the “Tax Matters Member Indemnified Parties” and, each individually, a
“Tax Matters Member Indemnified Party”) shall have no liability to any other Person (other than the Company and its Members) under the Formation Certificate, this Agreement or any applicable Law with respect to any action or
omission taken or suffered by the Tax Matters Member in its capacity as such, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or required by applicable Law. Furthermore, no Tax Matters Member Indemnified Party will be liable, responsible or
accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or to any Member or any of their respective Affiliates or direct or indirect 

  
 24 









 
equityholders for any act performed or omission within the scope of the authority conferred on the Tax Matters Member by this Agreement except for the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad
faith or fraud of the Tax Matters Member in carrying out its obligations hereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, each Tax Matters Member Indemnified Party
shall be fully protected and indemnified and held harmless by the Company against all damages actually incurred by such Tax Matters Indemnified Party in connection with such action, suit or proceeding by virtue of its status as a Tax Matters Member
Indemnified Party or with respect to any action or omission taken or suffered by the Tax Matters Member in its capacity as such in good faith, other than damages resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud of such Tax
Matters Member Indemnified Party. No amendment to this Section 7.4 will impair the rights of any Person arising at any time with respect to events occurring prior to such amendment. 

(b) The Tax Preparation Member shall be the Company’s “partnership representative” pursuant to Section 6223(a) of the Code
as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (with the changes to Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code as made by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 referred to as the “2015 Budget Act Partnership Audit Rules”) at
such times as the 2015 Budget Act Partnership Audit Rules apply to the Company. The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the partnership representative in its role as partnership representative, except to the extent required by
applicable Law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the partnership representative and the provisions relating to indemnification and reimbursement of the Tax Matters Member set forth in Section 7.4(a) shall
be fully applicable to the partnership representative in its capacity as such. For all fiscal years or other applicable periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the Members shall continue to have the rights under
Section 7.4(a) held during all fiscal years or other applicable periods ending before January 1, 2018. At the request of the partnership representative, the current and former Members shall provide the following
information and documentation to the Company and the partnership representative to the extent that the 2015 Budget Act Partnership Audit Rules apply to the Company and its current or former Members: 

(i) information and documentation reasonably necessary to determine and prove eligibility of the Company to elect out of the 2015 Budget Act
Partnership Audit Rules; 
 (ii) information and documentation reasonably necessary to reduce the Company level assessment consistent with
Section 6225(c) of the Code, as amended by the 2015 Budget Act Partnership Audit Rules; and 
 (iii) information and documentation
reasonably necessary to prove payment of the attributable liability under Section 6226 of the Code, as amended by the 2015 Budget Act Partnership Audit Rules. 

The obligations of each Member under this Section 7.4(b) shall survive such Member’s withdrawal from the
Company, and each Member shall execute such documentation requested by the Company at the time of such Member’s withdrawal from the Company to acknowledge and confirm such Member’s continuing obligations under this
Section 7.4(b). 

  
 25 









 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.4 to the contrary,
neither the Tax Matters Member nor the Company’s partnership representative shall take any action that would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on any Member without, first, disclosing such matter in writing to the affected
Member(s) and, second, obtaining the written consent of each Member so affected, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 

ARTICLE 8 
 TRANSFERS OF
MEMBER INTEREST AND UNITS 
 Section 8.1 Transfers Generally. 

(a) Each Transfer of a Member Interest and associated Units shall be subject to the terms of this Article 8. Any attempted Transfer of a
Member Interest other than in compliance with this Article 8 shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Any Member that Transfers any of its Member Interest in accordance with the provisions of this Article 8 shall promptly
provide written notice thereof to the Company and to the other Members. A Transferring Member shall, notwithstanding the Transfer, be liable to the Company and each other Member for its obligations accrued under this Agreement on or prior to the
Transfer, but such Transferring Member shall be released from any other obligations thereafter accruing under this Agreement with respect to its Member Interest and associated Units being Transferred, except in the case of Permitted Transfers, in
which case the Transferring Member shall remain liable, together with such Permitted Transferee, for all such obligations. 
 (b) No Member
may voluntarily Transfer its Member Interests and associated Units except Transfers (i) made subsequent to the IPO Execution Date; (ii) made to Permitted Transferees of such Member; (iii) made prior to the IPO Execution Date as a
Transferring Member in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.2 and 8.4; or (iv) as are approved in advance in writing by the Board. 

(c) Each Transfer must comply with the other provisions set forth in this Article 8 and meet the following conditions: 

(i) No Transferee of any Member shall be a Competitor of the Company or the non-Transferring Member(s)
without the consent of the Managers designated by such non-Transferring Member(s), such consent to be withheld in the sole discretion of the Managers designated by such
non-Transferring Member(s). 
 (ii) The Transferor and Transferee shall have executed and delivered
to the Company such documents and instruments of conveyance as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect such Transfer. In the case of a Transfer that occurs involuntarily by operation of Law, the Transfer shall be confirmed by
presentation to the Company of legal evidence of such Transfer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company. In all cases, the Company shall be reimbursed by the Transferor or Transferee for all reasonable costs and
expenses that it incurs in connection with such Transfer. 
 (iii) Such Transfer would not violate any applicable Laws. 

  
 26 









 (iv) Such Transfer would not cause any Company Entities to be required to register as an
“investment company” or a company “controlled by” an “investment company”, each within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. 

(v) Such Transfer would not cause the Company to be taxed as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal and applicable state
income tax purposes. 
 (vi) Prior to the first anniversary of the Closing, the Transferee shall be a creditworthy third party (as
determined by the Board in good faith) and agree to assume the indemnification obligations set forth in the Contribution Agreement. 

Section 8.2 Rights of First Offer. 

(a) Except for a Permitted Transfer, and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 8.1, prior to an IPO, in
the event that a Member (a “Transferring Member”) intends to Transfer all or a portion of its Member Interest (“Offered Member Interest”) to a Third Party, then the Transferring Member shall deliver
written notice (“Sale Notice”) to each other Member (such Members, the “Non-Transferring Members”). 

(b) Within 30 days of the receipt of the Sale Notice by the Non-Transferring Members, each Non-Transferring Member shall have a right to make a first offer (“Non-Transferring Member Offer”) to purchase (i) all, but not less than all, of
its pro rata share (based on the ratio of such Member’s Percentage Interest in the Company with respect to all such Non-Transferring Members) of the Offered Member Interest or (ii) such other amount
as the Non-Transferring Members may otherwise unanimously agree in writing, provided that such offers, when taken together, offer to purchase 100% of the Offered Member Interest. Any such Non-Transferring Member Offer shall be in writing and shall contain the price and material terms on which the Non-Transferring Member proposes to purchase its pro rata share
of the Offered Member Interest. 
 (c) If the Transferring Member does not receive offers to purchase 100% of the Offered Member Interest
from the Non-Transferring Members within the 30-day period provided in Section 8.2(b), then the Transferring Member shall be free to direct the
Transfer of the Offered Member Interest to a Third Party at a price and on terms and conditions acceptable to such Transferring Member during the 180-day period immediately following the expiration of such 30-day period. 
 (d) If the Transferring Member receives offers to purchase 100% of the Offered Member
Interest within the 30-day period provided in Section 8.2(b), the Transferring Member shall consider all such Non-Transferring Member Offers in
the aggregate and shall have 30 days following its receipt of the last transmitted Non-Transferring Member Offer to determine whether to accept or reject such offers in the aggregate. 

(e) If the Non-Transferring Member Offers are accepted by the Transferring Member, then the Non-Transferring Members will have 90 days from such acceptance within which to close their respective purchases of the Offered Member Interest, subject to extension to the extent necessary to satisfy applicable
regulatory approvals. Under such circumstances, the Transferring Member and the Non-Transferring Members shall negotiate in good faith the additional terms applicable to such purchase beyond those that were
included in the Non-Transferring Member Offers. 

  
 27 









 (f) If the Transferring Member rejects the
Non-Transferring Member Offers, then the Transferring Member may only direct the Transfer of the Offered Member Interest to a Third Party at a price, and on terms and conditions which, when taken as a whole,
are superior (as determined by the Transferring Member in good faith) to the price and the terms and conditions offered by the Non-Transferring Members, taken as a whole, and then only during the 180-day period following such rejection, subject to extension to the extent necessary to satisfy applicable regulatory approvals. Under such circumstances, the Managers and Officers of the Company shall
(i) permit potential purchasers selected by the Transferring Member, after executing a confidentiality agreement in such form as shall be determined by the Board, to conduct a due diligence review of the Company and its business, operations,
prospects, assets, liabilities, financial condition, and results of operations, (ii) cooperate in allowing potential purchasers to visit the offices of the Company, and (iii) make available the Officers and technical personnel of the
Company for the purpose of making presentations to such potential purchasers and answering questions posed by them, who shall provide reasonable cooperation during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, and at such Transferring
Member’s sole cost and expense. After such 180-day period (as extended to satisfy regulatory approvals, to the extent applicable), any proposed Transfer shall once again be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section 8.2 to the extent provided herein. 
 (g) Any transferee acquiring Member Interests
pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.2 with respect to any subsequent Transfer of such Member Interests. 

Section 8.3 Permitted Transferees. Subject to Section 8.1, any Member
may Transfer any of its Member Interest to (a) any Affiliate or Subsidiary of such Member, (b) to any equity owner of such Member or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of such equity owner, and (c) in the case if such Member or its direct or
indirect transferee is a natural person, to such Member’s immediate family or a trust, family limited partnership or other estate planning vehicle established for the exclusive benefit of one or more members of such Member’s immediate
family (each of the transferees contemplated by this Section 8.3, a “Permitted Transferee” and each such Transfer, a “Permitted Transfer”). 

Section 8.4 Tag Along Rights. 

(a) Other than a Permitted Transfer, prior to an IPO, in the event that a Member or any of its Permitted Transferees intends to Transfer its
Member Interests (to the extent permitted under the other provisions of this Article 8) and no other Member has exercised its rights of first offer pursuant to Section 8.2, then such Member (the “Tag-Along Member”) shall promptly give written notice (the “Tag Sale Notice”) of such proposed Transfer (the “Tag Sale”) to the non-Transferring Members and the Company. The Tag Sale Notice shall set forth (i) the number of Units to be Transferred and (ii) the terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer (and shall include copies
of any written proposal or agreements related to the proposed Transfer), including the identity of the proposed transferee, the purchase price proposed to be paid for the Units subject to the Tag Sale and the payment terms and type of Transfer to be
effectuated. 

  
 28 









 (b) Each Member shall have the right (such participation rights being herein referred to as
“Tag-Along Rights”), exercisable by written notice (a “Tag-Along Exercise Notice”) given to the Tag-Along Member and the Company within ten Business Days after receipt of the Tag Sale Notice by the Non-Transferring Members (the
“Tag-Along Exercise Period”), to participate in the Tag-Along Sale. If a Member does not submit a
Tag-Along Exercise Notice within the Tag-Along Exercise Period, such Member shall be deemed to have waived the right to participate in the Tag Sale. 

(c) If any Members submit a Tag-Along Exercise Notice within the
Tag-Along Exercise Period (a “Tag-Along Exercising Member”), then the Tag-Along Member shall use its
reasonable best efforts to include in the Tag Sale all of the Units that the Tag-Along Exercising Members have requested to have included pursuant to the applicable Tag-Along Exercise Notices, it being
understood that the proposed transferee shall not be required to purchase Units in excess of the number set forth in the Tag Sale Notice. In the event the proposed transferee elects to purchase less than all of the Units sought to be sold by the Tag-Along Exercising Members, the number of Units to be sold to the proposed transferee by the Tag-Along Member and each Tag-Along
Exercising Member shall be reduced pro rata so that each such Member is entitled to sell its Tag Along Share of the number of Units the proposed transferee elects to purchase (which in no event may be less than the number of Units set forth in the
Tag Sale Notice) on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Tag Sale Notice. 
 (d) If there is no
Tag-Along Exercising Member, then the Tag-Along Member may Transfer its Units to the transferee identified in the Tag Sale Notice on the terms and conditions set forth
in the Tag Sale Notice, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, if such Transfer has not been consummated within 60 days of the date of the Tag Sale Notice, then the Transferring Member will be required to
again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 8.4. 
 (e) In connection with a Tag Sale, each Tag-Along Member, Tag-Along Exercising Member or Transferee shall execute such documents, and make such representations and warranties (on a several and not joint basis),
covenants and indemnities, as are executed and made by such other Members participating in the Tag-Along Sale; provided, however, that any such indemnification or similar obligations will be
apportioned pro rata among the Members based on the proceeds received from them, other than with respect to representations made individually by a Member. At the request of the Transferee, all or a portion of the purchase price payable to a Tag-Along Member may be held back in an escrow account for the purpose of satisfying such Tag-Along Member’s obligations under the applicable documents, including
indemnity obligations. In connection with a Tag-Along Sale, each participating Member will also (A) consent to and raise no objections against the Tag-Along Sale or
the process pursuant to which the Tag-Along Sale was arranged, (B) waive any dissenter’s rights and other similar rights, (C) take all actions reasonably required or desirable or requested by
the Tag-Along Member to consummate such Tag-Along Sale, (D) comply with the terms of the documentation relating to such
Tag-Along Sale and (E) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Manager designated to the Board by such Member to facilitate and take, and cause the Company to facilitate and take, the actions
described in the foregoing clauses (A) through (D). 

  
 29 









 (f) Each of the Transferring Member, Tag-Along Exercising
Member and Transferee shall bear their own costs and expenses related to the Tag Sale. 
 Section 8.5
Preemptive Rights. 
 (a) Subject to and without limiting the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, should the
Company determine to issue and sell any New Interests prior to an IPO, then each Member shall have the right to purchase up to such Member’s pro rata share of such New Interests (such purchase rights, the “Preemptive
Rights”). 
 (b) In the event that the Company proposes to issue or sell New Interests, the Company shall notify each Member in
writing within 30 days of the proposed issuance and sale of New Interests (the “New Interests Notice”). Each New Interests Notice shall set forth: (i) the number of New Interests proposed to be issued or sold by the
Company and their purchase price; (ii) such Member’s pro rata portion of New Interests and (iii) any other material term, including any applicable regulatory requirements and, if known, the expected date of consummation of the
issuance and sale of the New Interests (which date, in any event shall be no earlier than 30 days following the date of delivery of the New Interests Notice). 

(c) Each Member shall be entitled to exercise its Preemptive Right to purchase such New Interests by delivering an irrevocable written notice
to the Company within 20 days from the date of receipt of any New Interests Notice specifying the number of New Interests to be subscribed, which in any event can be no greater than such Member’s pro rata portion of such New Interests, at the
price and on the terms and conditions specified in the New Interests Notice. 
 (d) Each Member exercising its right to purchase its entire
pro rata portion of New Interests being issued (each a “Subscribing Member”) shall have a right of over-allotment such that if any other Member fails to exercise its Preemptive Right to purchase its entire pro rata portion of
New Interests (each, a “Non-Subscribing Member”, including any Member that fails to exercise its right to purchase its entire pro rata share of Remaining New Interests, as described
below), such Subscribing Member may purchase its pro rata share, based on the relative percentage ownership of the Units then owned by the Subscribing Members, of those New Interests in respect to which the
Non-Subscribing Members have not exercised their Preemptive Right (the “Remaining New Interests”) by giving written notice to the Company within three Business Days from the date that
the Company provides written notice of the amount of New Interests as to which such Non-Subscribing Members have failed to exercise their rights thereunder. The Company shall reoffer any Remaining New
Interests to the Members in successive rounds (without regard to the time periods specified in the foregoing provisions) until such time as the Members have collectively agreed to purchase all of the New Interests being issued or all of the Members
are Non-Subscribing Members in the last round of offers. 

  
 30 









 (e) If the Members do not elect within the applicable notice periods described above to exercise
their Preemptive Rights with respect to any of the New Interests proposed to be sold by the Company, the Company shall have 60 days after the expiration of all such notice periods to sell or to enter into an agreement to sell such unsubscribed New
Interests proposed to be sold by the Company, at a price and on terms no more favorable to the purchaser than those offered to the Members pursuant to this Section 8.5. 

(f) For purposes of this Section 8.5, the members of a Founding Member Group shall be free to allocate Preemptive
Rights among the members of such Founding Member Group (even if such allocation and apportionment is not strictly pro rata among such members) so long as the aggregate amount of New Interests for which the members of the Founding Member Group
exercise Preemptive Rights does not exceed the aggregate pro rata share (based on Percentage Interest of Units) of New Interests for which such Founding Member Group may exercise Preemptive Rights. 

Section 8.6 Encumbrances by Members. Prior to an IPO, no Member shall be permitted to directly
or indirectly Encumber all or any portion of its Member Interest and/or associated Units unless approved in advance by the Board. 

Section 8.7 Admission of Substitute Members. Subject to
Section 8.1(a), upon compliance with all of the provisions of this Agreement regarding Transfers and, to the extent such transferee is not already a Member of the Company, the delivery to the Company by such transferee of
an executed addendum agreement in the form attached as Exhibit D (an “Addendum Agreement”), then (a) such Transferee shall be deemed to be a party hereto as if such Transferee were the
Transferor and such Transferee’s signature appeared on the signature pages of this Agreement, and shall be deemed to be a Substitute Member and (b) the applicable transferor shall thereafter cease to be a Member to the extent of the Member
Interest and associated Units Transferred by such Transferor. 
 Section 8.8 Admission of Additional
Members. Subject to Section 8.5, the Company may admit an Additional Member by issuing a Member Interest and associated Authorized Units to such Additional Member. Subject to compliance with the foregoing sentence,
such Additional Member shall be admitted to the Company with all the rights and obligations of a Member if such Additional Member shall have executed and delivered to the Company (i) an Addendum Agreement and (ii) such other documents or
instruments as may be required in the Board’s reasonable judgment to effect the admission. No issuance of a Member Interest and associated Authorized Units otherwise permitted or required by this Agreement shall be effective, and no purchaser
of any such issued Member Interest and associated Authorized Units from the Company shall be deemed to be a Member, if the foregoing conditions are not satisfied. 

Section 8.9 Rights and Obligations of Additional Members and Substitute Members. 

(a) A transferee of a Member Interest and associated Units that has been admitted as a Substitute Member in accordance with
Section 8.7 or a purchaser of any newly issued Member Interest and associated Authorized Units from the Company that has been admitted as an Additional Member in accordance with Section 8.8, in
each case, shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and Liabilities under this Agreement relating to a Member holding a Member Interest and associated Authorized Units. 

  
 31 









 (b) Admission of an Additional Member or Substitute Member shall become effective on the date
such Person’s name is recorded in the Member Schedule and on the other books and records of the Company. Upon the admission of an Additional Member or Substitute Member, the Company shall, without the consent of any other Person, revise the
Member Schedule to (i) reflect the name and address of, Member Interest of, number of associated Units held by and Percentage Interest in the Company of such Additional Member or Substitute Member, (ii) eliminate or adjust, if necessary,
the name, address, the Member Interest, associated Units of and Percentage Interest in the Company of the predecessor of such Substitute Member, and (iii) adjust the Percentage Interests in the Company of each other Member, if applicable. 

Section 8.10 No Other Persons Deemed Members. Unless admitted to the Company as a Member as
provided in this Agreement, no Person (including an assignee of rights with respect to a Member Interest and associated Units or a transferee of a Member Interest and associated Units, whether voluntary, by operation of Law or otherwise) shall be,
or shall be considered, a Member. The Company may elect to deal only with Persons admitted to the Company as Members as provided in this Agreement (including their duly authorized representatives). Any distribution by the Company to the Person shown
on the Member Schedule as a Member, or to its legal representatives, shall relieve the Company of all Liability to any other Person who may have an interest in such distribution by reason of any Transfer by the Member or for any other reason. 

Section 8.11 Public Offering. 

(a) It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that it is the express intent of the Company and the Members to effect an initial public offering
(“IPO”) of the Company or an entity that directly or indirectly owns, or will be formed to directly or indirectly own, the Assets (as applicable, the “IPO Entity”) as soon as practicable following the
Execution Date, and each of the Members and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to consummate an IPO as soon as practicable following the Execution Date, but in any event no later than December 31, 2018 or, if a Registration Statement
on Form S-1 is on file with the SEC and one of the Members desires to progress towards an IPO, June 30, 2019 (the “IPO Execution Date”). 

(b) The Members shall cooperate in good faith to agree upon the form and structure of the IPO Entity, using reasonable best efforts to, among
other things, (i) amend the governing documents of the Company Entities as reasonably necessary or appropriate to facilitate the IPO, and (ii) effect the IPO in a tax efficient manner, with no Member being required to recognize taxable
gain in connection with such IPO unless such Member elects to do so. The Company and each Member shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to provide such assistance to the IPO Entity that is reasonably and customarily required in order to
consummate the IPO. 
 (c) If, in connection with such IPO, the Board determines that it is advisable to have the Members convert or exchange
their Member Interests (the “IPO Exchange”) into equity securities of the IPO Entity (the “IPO Securities”) in one or a series of transactions, each Member shall participate in such an exchange. IPO
Securities issued in connection with any IPO Exchange may or may not include, in whole or in part, equity securities of the IPO Entity of the same class or series as the securities of the IPO Entity proposed to be offered to the public in the IPO.


  
 32 









 (d) Each Member shall sell any fractional IPO Securities owned by such Member (after taking into
account all IPO Securities held by such Member) to the IPO Entity, upon the request of the Company in connection with or in anticipation of the consummation of the IPO, for cash consideration equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional
securities. 
 (e) Prior to the consummation of the IPO, the IPO Entity shall enter into a registration rights agreement with the Members
containing customary terms and conditions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Members, regarding registration, demand and piggyback rights with respect to such Member’s IPO Securities. If the managing underwriter or the
placement agent advises the Company that the inclusion of securities of the Members requested to be included for sale in a secondary offering in connection with the IPO would materially and adversely affect the price, distribution or timing of the
offering, then the Company shall have the right to exclude all or any portion of such securities of the Members from sale in connection with the IPO, with such exclusions applied to the Members’ pro rata share (based on the relative Percentage
Interests of Units held by such Members immediately prior to the IPO). 
 (f) The Company shall be responsible for its own costs, fees and
expenses in connection with an IPO and shall reimburse the Members for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses (excluding underwriting discounts, selling
commissions and similar fees) incurred by them in connection with an IPO, including the reasonable costs, fees and expenses of one outside counsel for each Founding Member Group. 

ARTICLE 9 
 ALLOCATIONS
AND DISTRIBUTIONS 
 Section 9.1 Distributions to Members. 

(a) Operating Distributions. Within 30 days of the end of each Calendar Quarter, the Board, following consultation with other
appropriate Officers of the Company, shall determine the Company’s Available Cash for such Calendar Quarter. Subject to Section 4.3(a)(xvi), Available Cash as determined in accordance with this Agreement will be
distributed to Members within 45 days of the end of each Calendar Quarter, pro rata in accordance with such Members’ respective Percentage Interests on the date of distribution. 

(b) Limitations on Distributions. Each distribution in respect of a Unit shall be paid by the Company only to the holder of record of
such Unit as of the record date set for such distribution. Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Company’s liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such
payment by reason of an assignment or otherwise. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Board, on behalf of the Company, shall be required or permitted to make a distribution to any
Person in violation of the Delaware Act or other applicable Law. Any distributions pursuant to this Section 9.1 made in error or in violation of Sections 18-607 or 18-804 of the Delaware Act, will, upon demand by the Board, be returned to the Company. 

  
 33 









 (c) Withholding. 

(i) All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any foreign, State or local tax Law or treaty with respect to any payment,
distribution or allocation to the Company or the Members shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Members pursuant to this Section 9.1 for all purposes of this Agreement. The Company is authorized to withhold from
distributions, or with respect to allocations, to the Members and to pay over to any Federal, foreign, State or local government any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any other Federal, foreign, State or
local Law or treaty and shall allocate such amounts to those Members with respect to which such amounts were withheld. 
 (ii) To the extent
that any tax is paid by the Company and such tax relates (except as set forth in the following sentence, as determined by the Tax Preparation Member) to one or more specific Members, including any tax payable by the Company pursuant to
Section 6225 of the Code with respect to items of income, gain, loss deduction or credit allocable or attributable to such Member, the payment provisions of Section 9.1(c)(iii) shall apply. If the Company makes any
payments it is required to make under the 2015 Budget Act Partnership Audit Rules, the Tax Preparation Member shall reasonably allocate any such payment among the current or former Members of the Company for the “reviewed year” to which
the payment relates in a manner that reflects the current and former Members’ respective interests in the Company for that year and any other factors taken into account in determining the amount of the payment. 

(iii) To the extent any payment described in Section 9.1(c)(ii) is made by the Company with respect to a current
Member, such amount shall, at the election of the Board, (i) be applied to and reduce the next distribution(s) otherwise payable to that Member under this Agreement or (ii) be paid by that Member to the Company within 30 days of written
notice from the Tax Preparation Member requesting payment. To the extent any payment described in Section 9.1(c)(ii) is made with respect to a former Member, that Member agrees to pay over to the Company an amount equal to
the amount of such payment made with respect to it promptly upon receipt of notice from the Company itemizing the payment and summarizing the manner in which the payment was computed. Any amounts a current or former Member is required to pay to the
Company pursuant to the two preceding sentences shall, if not timely paid, be treated as a loan by the Company to such Member, which loan shall be subject to interest at a rate equal to the Default Rate; provided, however, that any such payment
shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution and shall not reduce the amount that a Member is otherwise obligated to contribute to the Company. 

(iv) The provisions contained in this Section 9.1(c) shall survive the dissolution of the Company and the withdrawal
of any Member or the transfer of any Member’s interest in the Company and shall apply to any current or former Member. 

  
 34 









 (d) Tax Distributions. 

(i) Notwithstanding Section 9.1(a), within 90 days after the end of each taxable year of the Company, and
(A) assuming (1) the Company has taxable income for such taxable year and (2) the Company has sufficient working capital (as reasonably determined by the Board), after taking into account payments contemplated by the then-current Initial
Strategic Plan or Annual Plan, to make the distributions contemplated hereby, and (B) subject to limitations on such distributions contained in any credit facility or other agreement to which the Company is a party, cash distributions shall be
made to each Member in the positive amount equal to the difference between X and Y, where: 
 “X” is the sum of (I) such Member’s
tax liability arising solely in respect of its ownership of a Member Interest for such taxable year (which tax liability, for the purposes of this Section 9.1(d), shall be calculated to equal the product of (1) such
Member’s share of the Company’s taxable income for such taxable year, as reflected in such Member’s K-1 from the Company for such taxable year (including for such purpose such Member’s
share of any separately stated items such as depletion and gain or loss from the sale of oil and gas property), multiplied by (2) the combined maximum federal and applicable state and local income tax rates applicable to individual taxpayers in
New York, New York, taking into account, if applicable, the deduction of state and local income taxes for federal income tax purposes and whether any portion of such taxable income qualifies for the reduced rates applicable to long term capital
gains), plus (II) the sum of all tax liabilities of such Member (calculated as provided in (I)) for all prior taxable years since the formation of the Company; and 

“Y” is the sum of all distributions made by the Company to such Member pursuant to Section 9.1(a) and this
Section 9.1(d) as of the end of the taxable year for which the calculation in “X”(I) is being made since the formation of the Company. 

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 9.1(d)(i), if a Member is allocated net losses or net deductions pursuant to
Section 9.2 during any taxable year, such net losses or net deductions shall be carried forward and shall reduce the taxable income (as calculated in Section 9.1(d)(i)) of such Member in succeeding
taxable years, until such allocated net losses and net deductions have been reduced to zero. 
 (iii) The Company shall make an additional
distribution (the “Tax True-up Distribution”) to the Members who received distributions pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) to the minimum extent required in order
that the aggregate amounts distributed to each such Member (or the successor to all or a portion of such Member’s Membership Interest) pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) for the relevant period is pro rata in proportion
to such Member’s Percentage Interest, as in effect during the relevant period. 
 (iv) The aggregate amount of distributions made by
the Company to a Member pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(i) shall be deemed the “Advance Amount”. If the Board authorizes a distribution to the Members pursuant to Section 9.1(a)
and at such time a Member’s Advance Amount is positive, (A) the Company shall be entitled to withhold such Member’s distribution up to an amount equal to the Advance Amount (with such Advance Amount being reduced by the amount so
withheld) and (B) the Company shall be entitled to distribute such withheld amount to the Members (after also applying clause (A) to those Members having positive Advance Amounts) so that, to the maximum extent possible, each Member
shall have received the amount of distributions that such Member would have received since formation of the Company if no distributions had been made under this Section 9.1(d). 

  
 35 









 (v) If, upon dissolution of the Company, any Member has a positive Advance Amount, such Member
shall make a Capital Contribution to the Company in an amount equal to the Advance Amount. Any Capital Contribution made by a Member pursuant to this Section 9.1(d)(v) shall be distributed to the Members in such a manner so
that each Member has received the amount of distributions that such Member would have received since the formation of the Company if no distributions had been made under this Section 9.1(d). 

Section 9.2 Allocations. 

(a) Allocation of Profits and Losses. Profits and Losses (and items thereof) shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their
relative Percentage Interests. 
 (b) Special Allocations. The following allocations shall be made in the following order: 

(i) Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members as determined by the Board, to the extent permitted by the Treasury Regulations.

 (ii) Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated to the Members bearing the Economic Risk of
Loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4). If more than one Member bears the Economic Risk of Loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt, the Member
Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated among the Members according to the ratio in which they bear the Economic Risk of Loss. This Section 9.2(b)(ii) is intended to comply
with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain for an Allocation Period (or if
there was a net decrease in Minimum Gain for a prior Allocation Period and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior periods to allocate among the Members under this Section 9.2(b)(iii)),
items of income and gain shall be allocated to each Member in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in such Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(g)(2)). This Section 9.2(b)(iii) is intended to constitute a minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 
 (iv) Notwithstanding any
provision hereof to the contrary except Section 9.2(b)(iii) (dealing with Minimum Gain), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain for an Allocation Period (or if there was a net decrease in Member
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain for a prior Allocation Period and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior periods to allocate among the Members under this Section 9.2(b)(iv)), items of
income and gain shall be allocated to each Member in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(i)(4)). This Section 9.2(b)(iv) is intended to constitute a partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

  
 36 









 (v) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except Sections 9.2(b)(i) and
9.2(b)(ii), no Losses or other items of loss or expense shall be allocated to any Member to the extent that such allocation would cause such Member to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account (or increase any existing deficit
balance in its Adjusted Capital Account) at the end of such Allocation Period. All Losses and other items of loss and expense in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 9.2(b)(v) shall be allocated to the Members
who do not have a deficit balance in their Adjusted Capital Accounts in proportion to their relative positive Adjusted Capital Accounts but only to the extent that such Losses and other items of loss and expense do not cause any such Member to have
a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account. 
 (vi) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except Sections 9.2(b)(iii)
and 9.2(b)(iv), a Member who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) shall be allocated
items of income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of income, including gross income, and gain for the Allocation Period) in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate any deficit balance in such Member’s Adjusted Capital
Account as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 9.2(b)(vi) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account
balance after all other allocations provided for in this Section 9.2 have been tentatively made as if this Section 9.2(b)(vi) were not in this Agreement. This
Section 9.2(b)(vi) is intended to constitute a qualified income offset under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 (vii) In the event that any Member has a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any Allocation Period, such Member
shall be allocated items of Company gross income, gain and Simulated Gain in the amount of such deficit as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 9.2(b)(vii) shall
be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in this Section 9.2 have been tentatively made as if
Section 9.2(b)(vi) and this Section 9.2(b)(vii) were not in this Agreement. 
 (viii) To
the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company properties pursuant to Section 734(b) of the Code (including any such adjustments pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.734-2(b)(1)) is required pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to any Member in complete liquidation of such Member’s Units, the amount of such adjustment
to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) if such Treasury Regulation Section applies, or to the Member to whom such distribution was made if Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies. 

  
 37 









 (ix) Simulated Depletion for each Depletable Property, and Simulated Loss upon the disposition
of a Depletable Property, shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their shares of the Simulated Basis in such property. 
 (c)
Income Tax Allocations. 
 (i) All items of income, gain, loss and deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be allocated
in the same manner as the corresponding item is allocated pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or 9.2(b), except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.2(c) or
Section 9.2(d). 
 (ii) In accordance with the principles of Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder, income, gain, deduction and loss with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, except as provided in Section 9.2(d) with respect to Depletable Properties, solely for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members in order to account for any such difference using the “traditional method” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b). 

(iii) In accordance with the principles of Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, deduction and loss
with respect to any property the Book Value of which is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f) shall, solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be allocated among
the Members in order to account for any difference between such property’s adjusted U.S. federal income tax basis and such property’s Book Value using any reasonable method selected by the Board. 

(iv) Any (A) recapture of depreciation or any other item of deduction shall be allocated, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections
1.1245-1(e) and 1.1254-5, to the Members who received the benefit of such deductions (taking into account the effect of remedial allocations), and (B) recapture of
grants or credits shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with applicable Law. 
 (v) Tax credits of the Company shall be allocated
among the Members as provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii) and 1.704-1(b)(4)(viii). 

(vi) Allocations pursuant to this Section 9.2(c) are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state, and local taxes
and, except as otherwise specifically provided, shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement. 
 (vii) If, as a result of an exercise of a noncompensatory option to acquire an interest in the Company, a Capital Account
reallocation is required under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3), the Company shall make corrective allocations pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(x). 

  
 38 









 (d) Income Tax Allocations with Respect to Depletable Properties. 

(i) Cost and percentage depletion deductions with respect to any Depletable Property shall be computed separately by the Members rather than
the Company. For purposes of such computations, the U.S. federal income tax basis of each Depletable Property shall be allocated to Members in proportion to each Member’s contribution to the adjusted basis of such Depletable Property. For the
avoidance of doubt, U.S. federal income tax basis of each Depletable Property that is a Linn Asset shall be allocated to LEH, and the U.S. federal income tax basis of each Depletable Property that is a Citizen Asset shall be allocated to Citizen.
The Company shall inform each Member of such Member’s allocable share of the U.S. federal income tax basis of each Depletable Property promptly following the acquisition of such Depletable Property by the Company or any adjustment resulting
from expenditures required to be capitalized in such basis. 
 (ii) For purposes of the separate computation of gain or loss by each Member
on the taxable disposition of Depletable Property, the amount realized from such disposition shall be allocated (A) first, to the Members in an amount equal to the Simulated Basis in such Depletable Property in proportion to their allocable
shares thereof and (B) second, any remaining amount realized shall be allocated consistent with the allocation of Simulated Gains. 

(iii) The allocations described in this Section 9.2(d) are intended to be applied in accordance with the
Members’ “interests in partnership capital” under Section 613A(c)(7)(D) of the Code. The provisions of this Section 9.2(d)(iii) and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to allocations under
Code Section 613A(c)(7)(D) are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(v) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. 

(iv) Each Member, with the assistance of the Company, shall separately keep records of its share of the adjusted tax basis in each Depletable
Property, adjust such share of the adjusted tax basis for any cost or percentage depletion allowable with respect to such property and use such adjusted tax basis in the computation of its cost depletion or in the computation of its gain or loss on
the disposition of such property by the Company. Upon the reasonable request of the Company, each Member shall advise the Company of its adjusted tax basis in each Depletable Property and any depletion computed with respect thereto, both as computed
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.2(d)(iv) for purposes of allowing the Company to make adjustments to the tax basis of its assets as a result of certain transfers of interests in the Company or
distributions by the Company. The Company may rely on such information and, if it is not provided by the Member, may make such reasonable assumptions as it shall determine with respect thereto. 

(e) Other Allocation Rules. 

(i) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable to an interest in the Company that may have been Transferred shall be
allocated between the Transferor and the Transferee based on the portion of the Fiscal Year during which each was recognized as the owner of such interest, without regard to the results of Company operations during any particular portion of that
year and without regard to whether cash distributions were made to the Transferor or the Transferee during that year; provided, however, that any allocation must be made in accordance with a method permissible under Code
Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. 

  
 39 









 (ii) The Members’ proportionate shares of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of
the Company, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), shall be allocated to the Members in any manner determined by the Board and permissible under the Treasury Regulations. 

(iii) The definition of Capital Account set forth in Section 3.6 and the allocations set forth in
Section 9.2 are intended to comply with the Treasury Regulations. If the Board determines that the determination of a Member’s Capital Account or the allocations to a Member are not in compliance with the Treasury
Regulations, the Board is authorized to make any appropriate adjustments.

 (a) a Breakup pursuant to
Section 4.8(b); 
 (b) an election to dissolve the Company by the unanimous consent of the Board; 

(c) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Act; or 

(d) at any time there are no Members, unless the Company is continued without dissolution in accordance with the Delaware Act. 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Bankruptcy or dissolution of any Member or Affiliate of any Member or the occurrence of any other event that
terminates the continued membership of any Member shall not cause the Company to be dissolved or its affairs to be wound up, and upon the occurrence of any such event, the Company shall be continued without dissolution. 

Section 10.2 Notice of Dissolution. Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Board shall
promptly notify each Member of such dissolution. 
 Section 10.3 Liquidation. Upon
dissolution of the Company, the Board shall carry out the winding up of the Company and shall immediately commence to wind up such affairs; provided, however, that a reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the
Assets and the satisfaction of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Members to minimize the normal losses attendant upon a liquidation. The proceeds of liquidation shall be applied first to payment of all expenses and debts of the Company
and setting up of such reserves as the Board reasonably deems necessary to wind up the Company’s affairs and to provide for any contingent liabilities or obligations of the Company. Any remaining proceeds shall be distributed to the Members in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in the Company. 

  
 40 









 Section 10.4 Termination. The Company shall

 ARTICLE 11 

GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

Section 11.1 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LEGAL RELATIONS AMONG THE PARTIES SHALL BE
GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER CONSTRUCTION OF SUCH PROVISIONS TO THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. SUBJECT TO SECTION 11.2, IN
RESPECT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED WITHIN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION
TO JURISDICTION OR VENUE OF, AND WAIVES ANY MOTION TO TRANSFER VENUE FROM, ANY OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY DISPUTE. 

Section 11.2 Dispute Resolution. Other than the provisions regarding a Deadlock set forth in
Section 4.8, which shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 4.8, all Claims and controversies, in each case, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, shall be
determined and resolved in accordance with the following procedures: 
 (a) Covered Disputes. Any Claim among the Members or their
respective Affiliates arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the meaning of its provisions, or the proper performance of any of its terms, its breach, termination or invalidity (each, a “Dispute”) shall be
resolved in accordance with the procedures specified in this Section 11.2, which shall be the sole and exclusive procedure for the resolution of any such Dispute, except that any Party, without prejudice to the following
procedures, may file a complaint to seek preliminary injunctive or other provisional judicial relief, if in its sole judgment, that action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve the status quo. Despite that action the Parties will
continue to participate in good faith in the procedures specified in this Section 11.2. 

  
 41 









 (b) Initial Mediation. In the event of a Dispute, and prior to proceeding to arbitration
pursuant to Section 11.2(c), the Parties must submit the Dispute to any mutually agreed mediation service for mediation by providing to the mediation service a joint, written request for mediation, setting forth the subject
of the Dispute and the relief requested. The Dispute shall be mediated in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma within 30 days from the date that a written request for mediation is made by any Party, and the mediation shall be conducted before a single mediator
to be agreed upon by the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree on the mediator, each Party shall select a mediator and the mediators so selected shall together unanimously select a neutral mediator who will conduct the mediation. The Parties shall
cooperate with the mediation service and with one another in scheduling the mediation proceedings. The Parties covenant that they will use commercially reasonable efforts in participating in the mediation. The Parties agree that the mediator’s
fees and expenses and the costs incidental to the mediation will be shared equally by the Parties. The Parties further agree that all offers, promises, conduct, and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of
the Parties, their agents, employees, experts, and attorneys, and by the mediator and any employees of the mediation service, are confidential, privileged, and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any litigation, arbitration or
other proceeding involving the Parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the
mediation. The decision of the mediator shall be non-binding on the Parties. 
 (c) Arbitration as
a Final Resort. Any Dispute that is not resolved by mediation pursuant to Section 11.2(b) must be resolved through the use of binding arbitration in accordance with the AAA Rules, as supplemented to the extent necessary
to determine any procedural appeal question by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title IX of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Section 11.2(c) and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the Federal
Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 11.2(c) shall control the rights and obligations of the Parties. Such arbitration shall be conducted as follows: 

(i) If there is more than one Dispute that involves the same facts and parties as the facts and parties with respect to which arbitration has
been initiated pursuant to this Agreement, such Disputes shall be consolidated into the first arbitration initiated pursuant to this Agreement. 

(ii) Arbitration may be initiated by a Party (“Claimant”) serving written notice on another Party
(“Respondent”) that the Claimant has referred the Dispute to binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.2(c). Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must describe in reasonable
detail the nature of the Dispute and the facts and circumstances relating thereto and identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. Respondent shall respond to Claimant within 30 days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the
arbitrator Respondent has appointed. All arbitrators must be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of or performed material work for the Parties or any of their Affiliates within the preceding five-year period and must
agree in writing to keep strictly confidential the specifics and existence of the dispute as well as all proprietary records of the Parties reviewed by the arbitrators in the process of resolving such dispute. Arbitrators must have a formal
education or training in the area of dispute resolution and must have not less than seven years of experience as a lawyer in the energy industry with experience in upstream or transactional issues. The two arbitrators so chosen by the parties to the
Dispute shall select a third arbitrator within 30 days after the second arbitrator has been appointed. If either (A) the Respondent fails to name its party-appointed arbitrator within the time permitted, or (B) the two


  
 42 









 
arbitrators are unable to agree on a third arbitrator within 30 days from the date the second arbitrator has been appointed, then, in either case, the missing arbitrator(s) shall be selected by
the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) with due regard given to the selection criteria above and input from the parties to the Dispute and other arbitrators. The AAA shall select the missing arbitrator(s) not later
than 90 days from initiation of arbitration. In the event the AAA should fail to select the third arbitrator within 90 days from initiation of arbitration, then either party to the Dispute may petition the Chief United States District Judge for the
Southern District of Texas to select the third arbitrator. Due regard shall be given to the selection criteria above and input from the parties to the arbitrable Dispute and other arbitrators. 

(iii) Claimant and Respondent shall each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the AAA and
the arbitrator(s). 
 (iv) The hearing shall be conducted in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and commence within 60 days after the selection of the
third arbitrator, unless delayed by order of the arbitrators. The hearing shall be based upon written position papers submitted by Claimant and Respondent within 30 days after the selection of the third arbitrator, stating such Person’s
proposed resolution of the dispute. The parties to the Dispute and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible. The arbitrators shall determine the Disputes and render a
final award on or before 30 days following the completion of the hearing. The arbitrators’ decision shall be in writing and set forth the reasons for the award. In rendering the award, the arbitrators shall abide by (A) the terms and
conditions of this Agreement including, without limitation, any and all restrictions, prohibitions or limitations on damages or remedies set forth in this Agreement and (B) the Law of the State of Delaware. The arbitrators shall not have
jurisdiction or authority to add to, detract from or alter in any way the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (v) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, any party to the Dispute may, prior to the appointment of the third arbitrator, seek temporary injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction; provided that the party seeking such relief shall (if
arbitration has not already been commenced) simultaneously commence arbitration. Such court-ordered relief shall not continue more than ten days after the appointment of the arbitrators and in no event for longer than 90 days. In order to prevent
irreparable harm, the arbitrators shall have the power to grant temporary or permanent injunctive or other equitable relief. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators shall be final, binding on and non-appealable by the parties to the Dispute. Each party to the Dispute agrees that any arbitration award against it may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction and that either party to the Dispute may
authorize any such court to enter judgment on the arbitrators’ decisions. The arbitrators may not grant or award indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages or damages for lost profits. 

(vi) In any Dispute under this Agreement, the prevailing party to the Dispute shall be entitled to recover arbitration and court costs and
attorneys’ fees in addition to any other relief to which such Person is entitled. 
 (d) Tolling and Performance. All applicable
statutes of limitation and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled while the procedures specified in Section 11.2(c) are pending. The Parties shall take any action required to effectuate that tolling. Each
party is required to continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement pending completion of the procedures set forth in Section 11.2(c), unless to do so would be impossible or impracticable under the circumstances.

right of such Party at a later time to enforce the performance of such provision. No waiver by any Party of any condition, or any breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or
construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or a waiver of any other condition or of any breach of any other term or covenant. The rights of the Parties under this Agreement shall be cumulative, and the exercise or

Section 12.6 Parties in Interest. Except as provided in Section 5.6,
nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall entitle any Person other than the Parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns to any Claim, remedy or right of any kind. 

Section 12.7 Binding Effect. Subject to the restrictions on dispositions of Member Interests
herein contained, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

non-public and confidential information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”) will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed by such Member,
or by any of its agents, representatives or employees, in any manner whatsoever (other than to the Company, another Member or any Person designated by the Company), in whole or in part, except that (a) each Member shall be permitted to disclose
such information to those of its agents, representatives and employees who need to be familiar with such information in connection with such Member’s investment in the Company (collectively, “Representatives”), as well
as to its direct or indirect sub-advisors and funding sources, investors and potential investors of such Member or its sub-advisors, and who in each case are apprised of
the confidential nature of such information, (b) each Member shall be permitted to disclose information to the extent required by Law (including in accordance with the disclosure practices of publicly reporting peer companies of the Members and
pursuant to the reporting obligations of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), (c) each Member shall be permitted to disclose such information to possible Transferees of all or a portion of the Member’s Member Interest, provided that
such prospective Transferee shall execute a customary confidentiality agreement containing terms not less restrictive than the terms set forth herein, (d) each Member shall be permitted to disclose information to the extent necessary for the
enforcement of any right of such Member arising under this Agreement and (e) each Member shall be permitted to report to its direct or indirect shareholders, limited partners, members or other owners, lenders or investors, as applicable,
regarding the general status and financial performance of its investment in the Company; provided, however, that information shall not be deemed Confidential Information for purposes of this Section 12.8,
where such information (i) was already known to such Member (or its Representatives) prior to the time of disclosure, (ii) later becomes known to such Member by having been disclosed to such Member (or its Representatives) by a Third Party
without any obligation of confidentiality imposed on such Third Party to such Member’s knowledge, (iii) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of such Member (or its Representatives), or (iv) is independently developed

(a) No party hereto shall issue, or permit any agent or Affiliate of it to issue, any press releases with respect to this Agreement unless such
releasing party provides a copy of the proposed press release to the other parties hereto reasonably in advance of the proposed release date as necessary to enable such other parties to provide comments on such release; provided such other
party hereto must respond with any comments within one Business Day after its receipt of such proposed press release. 
 (b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 12.8 or Section 12.9(a), in the event of any Emergency or in the event that the Company, through its Officers, deems to be customary with respect to the

Section 12.10 Preparation of Agreement. Each of the Parties and their respective counsels
participated in the preparation of this Agreement. In the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement, no presumption shall arise based on the identity of the draftsman of this Agreement. 

Section 12.11 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions
contemplated hereby is not materially affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this
Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible. 

Section 12.12 Non-Compensatory Damages. None of the
Parties shall be entitled to recover from any other Party, or any other Party’s respective Affiliates, any indirect, consequential, punitive, special or exemplary damages or damages for lost profits of any kind, in each case, arising under or
in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent any such Party suffers such damages to a Third Party, which damages (including costs of defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred
in connection with defending against such damages) shall not be excluded by this provision as to recovery hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, each Party, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, waives any right to recover any
indirect, consequential, punitive, special or exemplary damages or damages for lost profits of any kind, in each case, arising in connection with or with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
