additional information from such parties as Buyer may reasonably desire, including the right to perform an environmental assessment of the Assets pursuant to Article 5 below. Buyer may inspect the Records and such additional information only to

the Records and such additional information, and to perform an environmental assessment of the Assets. Notwithstanding Buyers right to access the Records until Closing, Buyers right to terminate this Agreement due to the results of

Section 11.1(d) below.

3.2 Disclaimer. Except for the representations contained in this Agreement, Seller makes no
representation of any kind as to the Records or any information contained therein. Buyer agrees that any conclusions drawn from the Records shall be the result of its own independent review and judgment.

Buyer to conduct, at Buyers sole risk and expense, on-site inspections and environmental assessments of the Assets. In connection with any such on-site
inspections, Buyer agrees not to interfere with the normal operation of the Assets and agrees to comply with all requirements of the operators of the Wells. If Buyer or its agents prepares an environmental assessment of any Assets, Buyer agrees to
furnish copies thereof to Seller and to keep such assessment confidential in accordance with Section 8.3(a). In connection with Seller granting such access to Buyer, Buyer represents that it is adequately insured and waives, releases and agrees
to indemnify Seller, and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and representatives against all claims for injury to, or death of, persons or for damage to property arising in any way from the access afforded to Buyer
hereunder or the activities of Buyer. This waiver, release and indemnity by Buyer shall survive termination of this Agreement.

3.4
Buyers Representatives. If Buyers Representatives conduct due diligence activities for Buyer, either in Sellers offices or on the Lands, Buyer agrees to make Buyers Representatives agree to be bound by the terms of
this Article 3 and the confidentiality provisions of Article 14.

remedies it has for breach of this Agreement; provided however, that (i) Seller shall not have any liability to Buyer for consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages arising out of or

related to Sellers breach of any provision of this Agreement and (ii) Buyer waives all equitable remedies for Seller breach of this Agreement,
except specific performance, which if Buyer elects to pursue, Buyer must pursue as its sole and exclusive remedy in lieu of all other legal and equitable remedies. Sellers failure to close shall not be considered wrongful if
(i) Sellers conditions under Section 10.1 are not satisfied through no fault of Seller, or (ii) Seller has terminated this Agreement as of right under Section 11.1.

(c) Termination Pursuant to Section 11.1. If Buyer or Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1 in the

representations and warranties in Sections 6.1 through 6.4 and 6.20 shall continue without limitation. Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyer under this Agreement for and Buyer releases Seller from all indemnity claims that are subject
to the first sentence of this Section 14.4(d)(1) that are not properly and timely raised as set forth herein.

(2)
Special Warranty of Title. With respect to Sellers Special Warranty of Title given in the Assignment, Sellers indemnity obligation shall be limited to the Allocated Value of the particular Asset.

14.5 Procedure. The indemnifications contained in Section 14.4 shall be implemented as follows:

(a) Coverage. Such indemnity shall extend to all Losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified Party.

(b) Claim Notice. The Party seeking indemnification under the terms of this Agreement (Indemnified
Party) (other than a Claim that is subject to Section 14.5(c)) shall submit a written Claim Notice to the other Party (Indemnifying Party) stating: (i) the amount of the
Loss, if known, and the method of computation thereof, and (ii) a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises. The amount claimed shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party
to the extent required herein within 30 days after receipt of the Claim Notice, or after the amount of such payment has been finally established, whichever last occurs.

(c) Third Party Claims. Each Indemnified Party shall promptly notify in writing each Indemnifying Party of any claim or legal
action by a third party (a Claim) of which it becomes aware and for which it is entitled to indemnification from such Indemnifying Party under this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure to promptly give such notice
of a Claim shall not constitute a waiver or release of the Indemnified Partys right to indemnity with respect to such Claim, except to the extent such failure prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Claim. The
Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to defend at the Indemnifying Partys sole expense any litigation, arbitration or other administrative or adversarial proceeding against the Indemnified Party relating to any Claim for which the
Indemnifying Party has agreed to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless under this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume control of and appoint lead counsel for the defense of such Claim; provided, however, that to
exercise such rights the



23



---

Indemnifying Party must give notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after such receipt from the Indemnified Party of written notice of such
Claim whether it is assuming control of and appointing lead counsel for such defense. Any Indemnified Party is authorized prior to and during such 30-day period to file any motion, answer or other pleading that it shall deem necessary or appropriate
to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party (and of which it shall have given notice and opportunity to comment to the Indemnifying Party) and that is not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not give
such notice within such 30-day period, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense thereof at the reasonable cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is obligated to
indemnify for such Claim under this Article 14), subject to the limitations of liability and other limits set forth in this Article 14; provided, however, that notwithstanding the 30-day period referenced above, the Indemnifying Party may
at any time before the settlement or final determination of an ongoing lawsuit admit in writing its liability to indemnify the Indemnified Party and thereafter assume the defense of the Claim (subject to the limitations of liability and other limits
set forth in this Article 14). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.5(c), the Indemnifying Party shall have control over the defense and/or settlement of such Claim;
provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement, compromise, admission or
acknowledgement of the validity of such Claim if the settlement does not unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Claim or the settlement imposes injunctive or other equitable relief
against the Indemnified Party. However, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such Claim at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall assist and cooperate in the prosecution or
defense of such Claims; provided, however, such assistance or cooperation shall not include the making of any related counterclaim or cross-complaint against any Person who is an affiliate of Seller or a past, present or future manager, member,
officer, director, trustee, employee or partner of Seller or of an affiliate of Seller. Regardless of which Party has assumed the control of the defense of any Claim in accordance with this Section 14.5(c), the Indemnified Party shall obtain
the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement, compromise, admission or acknowledgement of such Claim.

(d) Dispute. The Parties agree to resolve all Disputes concerning this Agreement pursuant to the
provisions of this section. The Parties agree to submit all Disputes to binding arbitration in Houston, Texas, such arbitration to be conducted as follows: The arbitration proceeding shall be governed by Texas law and shall be conducted in
accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), with discovery to be conducted in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and with any disputes over the scope of
discovery to be determined by the Arbitrators. The arbitration shall be before a mutually agreed upon three person panel of neutral arbitrators, consisting of (1) a petroleum engineer with at least 10 years experience, (2) a
retired judge at the district court or appellate court levels and (3) an attorney with at least 15 years experience in the oil and gas industry (with the panel so picked being the Arbitrators). In the event that the
Parties cannot agree on the Arbitrators, then Seller and the Buyer will select one Arbitrator and then the two selected Arbitrators will pick the third Arbitrator. The Arbitrators shall conduct a hearing no



24



---

later than 60 days after submission of the matter to arbitration, and a written decision shall be rendered by the Arbitrators within 30 days of the
hearing. At the hearing, the Parties shall present such evidence and witnesses as they may choose, with or without counsel. Adherence to formal rules of evidence shall not be required but the arbitration panel shall consider any evidence and
testimony that it determines to be relevant, in accordance with procedures that it determines to be appropriate. Any award entered in the arbitration shall be made by a written opinion stating the reasons and basis for the award made and any payment
due pursuant to the arbitration shall be made within 15 days of the Arbitrators decision. The final decision may be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction and may be enforced by any Party as a final judgment of such court. Each Party
shall bear its own costs and expenses of the arbitration, provided, however, that the costs of employing the arbitrators shall be borne 50% by the Seller and 50% by the Buyer.

14.6 No Insurance; Subrogation. The indemnifications provided in this Article 14 shall not be construed as a form of insurance. Buyer and
Seller hereby waive for themselves, their respective successors or assigns, including, without limitation, any insurers, any rights to subrogation for Losses for which each of them is respectively liable or against which each respectively
indemnifies the other, and, if required by applicable policies, Buyer and Seller shall obtain waiver of such subrogation from their respective insurers.

with respect to the Assets.
