 ARTICLE 2 

PURCHASE AND SALE 

2.1    Purchase and Sale of Assets. 

On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser
agrees to purchase, accept and pay for, the Assets. 
 2.2    Assets Subject to Existing
Agreements and Legal Requirements. 
 The sale, transfer and conveyance of the Assets to Purchaser will be made
subject to, and subject to Purchaser’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to accept the Assets subject to, and agrees to be bound to and to perform, to the extent transferable, any and all reservations, exceptions,
limitations, contracts, assignments, leases and subleases, farmout agreements, joint or unit operating agreements, pooling agreements, letter agreements, production processing or handling agreements, interconnect, transportation, gas sales, metering
and allocation, pooling or unitization agreements, easements, rights-of-way and all other agreements or instruments pertaining to the Assets, including, but not limited
to, those (i) that are of record with the Pennsylvania Secretary of Commonwealth or any county office, (ii) that have been disclosed or delivered to Purchaser for its review prior to Closing, or that are referred to therein,
(iii) that are listed or referred to on any Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement, or (iv) that were included in the Data Room made available to Purchaser by Seller, but excluding any of the foregoing pertaining to, or
constituting, any Excluded Asset (collectively, the “Basic Documents”). 

2.3    Purchase Price. 

The total purchase price for the Assets shall be Five Hundred Forty-One Million
Dollars ($541,000,000) (the “Unadjusted Purchase Price”) consisting of (i) the Unadjusted Cash Consideration and (ii) if Purchaser makes a Stock Election pursuant to Section 2.5, the Stock Consideration. The
Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be payable at Closing as provided in Section 5.3, and shall be subject to adjustments as provided for in Article 3 and Article 8, and as are reflected in the Preliminary Accounting and the Final Accounting (the
Unadjusted Purchase Price, as so adjusted, being the “Final Purchase Price”). 
 Schedule 2.3 sets forth
Purchaser’s good faith allocation of the Unadjusted Purchase Price among the Oil and Gas Interests and Midstream Assets for all purposes under this Agreement (with respect to any of the Assets, such value is referred to herein as the
“Allocated Value” and collectively, the “Allocated Values”). Seller has accepted such Allocated Values for purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, but otherwise make no representation or
warranty as to the accuracy of such values. 
 Payments to be made following the Closing under this Agreement shall be made
by wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days after the final determination is made that such payments are due and payable (pursuant to wire transfer instructions designated in advance by the receiving Party or
Parties to the paying Party or Parties in writing) for the account of the respective receiving Party or Parties. 

  
 20 













 2.4    Performance Deposit. 

Upon execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall pay by wire transfer to Seller Twenty-Seven Million Fifty Thousand Dollars
($27,050,000) in good and immediately available funds, as a performance deposit (the “Performance Deposit”) on the Assets. The Performance Deposit shall be paid by wire transfer to Seller using the following instructions: 

Account Name: [omitted from filed copy] 

Bank Name: [omitted from filed copy] 

Street Address: [omitted from filed copy] 

City, State ZIP: [omitted from filed copy] 

Routing Number: [omitted from filed copy] 

Account Number: [omitted from filed copy] 

This Performance Deposit is solely to assure the performance of Purchaser pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. If Purchaser fails, refuses or is unable for any reason (including failure to obtain financing) to close the transaction in accordance with the terms hereof, Seller shall have the right, as its sole remedy, to retain the Performance
Deposit as expressly provided in Section 13.2(b). If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the first sentence of Section 13.1, or 13.1(a), (b), (c) or (e), Seller shall return the Performance Deposit to Purchaser within ten
(10) Business Days of receipt of the notice of termination. 
 2.5    Stock
Election. Purchaser shall have the right to elect to pay up to $150,000,000 of the Unadjusted Purchase Price at Closing through the issuance by NFGC to Seller of up to 3,849,114 shares of NFGC Common Stock valued at the Share Price, by
providing Seller written notice thereof not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Stock Election”). Such notice shall indicate the number of whole shares of NFGC Common Stock to be delivered to
Seller at Closing as part of the Unadjusted Purchase Price (the “Stock Consideration”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Stock Election is exercised, then the number of shares of NFGC Common Stock delivered to Seller at Closing
shall be the Stock Consideration as set forth in such Stock Election notice delivered to Seller, and all adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price as provided for in Article 3 and Article 8, and as are reflected in the Preliminary Accounting and
the Final Accounting, shall be made to the Unadjusted Cash Consideration (the Unadjusted Cash Consideration, as so adjusted, the “Final Cash Consideration”). For the avoidance of doubt, if Purchaser has timely made the Stock
Election but NFGC is unable or unwilling to issue all or any portion of the Stock Consideration at Closing as required under Section 5.3(e), then the calculation of the Unadjusted Cash Consideration payable by the Purchaser at the Closing in
accordance with Section 5.3(d) shall reflect the actual number of shares of NFGC Common Stock constituting the Stock Consideration issued to Seller at the Closing. 

2.6    Qualified Intermediary. 

Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that this transaction may be completed as a like-kind exchange and that each Party will
assist in completing the sale as a like-kind exchange. As a like-kind exchange, Seller and Purchaser agree that Purchaser, in lieu of the purchase of the Assets from Seller for the cash consideration provided herein, shall have the right at any time
prior to Closing to assign all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement to a designated qualified intermediary as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(v) (a
“Qualified Intermediary”) in order 

  
 21 













 
to accomplish the transaction in a manner that will comply, either in whole or in part, with the requirements of a like-kind exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code. Likewise, Seller
shall have the right at any time prior to Closing to assign all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Qualified Intermediary for the same purpose. In the event any Party assigns its rights under this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 2.6, such Party agrees to notify the other Parties in writing of such assignment at or before Closing. If Seller assigns its rights under this Agreement for this purpose, Purchaser agrees to (i) consent to Seller’s assignment
of its rights in this Agreement in the form reasonably requested by the Qualified Intermediary, and (ii) pay the Final Purchase Price for the Assets into a qualified escrow or qualified trust account at Closing as directed in writing. If
Purchaser assigns its rights under this Agreement for this purpose, Seller agrees to (i) consent to Purchaser’s assignment of its rights in this Agreement in the form reasonably requested by the Qualified Intermediary, (ii) accept the
Final Purchase Price for the Assets from the qualified escrow or qualified trust account at Closing, and (iii) at Closing, convey and assign directly to Purchaser the Assets that are the subject of this Agreement upon satisfaction of the other
conditions to Closing and other terms and conditions hereof. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that any assignment of this Agreement shall not increase the costs, expenses or liabilities of a Party as a result of the other Party’s
assignment of this Agreement to a Qualified Intermediary, shall not release either Party from any of their respective liabilities and obligations to each other under this Agreement, and that neither Party represents to the other that any particular
Tax treatment will be given to either Party as a result thereof. 
 2.7    Contingent
Payments. In the event that Purchaser makes a Stock Election, then, as additional consideration for the Assets, Purchaser shall make the Contingent Payments to Seller as follows: 

(a)    If the Calendar Year Average NYMEX Price for calendar year 2021 is equal to or greater than
$2.75/MMBtu, then Purchaser shall pay Seller an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Share Price multiplied by the number of shares of NFGC Common Stock constituting the Stock Consideration (such payment, the “First Contingent
Payment”) in accordance with Section 2.7(c)(i). 
 (b)    If the Calendar Year Average
NYMEX Price for calendar year 2022 is equal to or greater than $2.75/MMBtu, then Purchaser shall pay Seller an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Share Price multiplied by the number of shares of NFGC Common Stock constituting the Stock
Consideration (such payment, the “Second Contingent Payment”) in accordance with Section 2.7(c)(ii). 

(c)    Not later than ten (10) Business Days following the end of each of calendar year 2021 and
2022, as applicable, Purchaser shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Seller a written statement setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of the Calendar Year Average NYMEX Price for such calendar year. The Contingent Payments, if any, shall
be paid as follows: 
 (i)    on January 31, 2022 (or such later date as mutually agreed upon by
the Parties), Purchaser shall pay to Seller the First Contingent Payment, if such Contingent Payment is owed; 

  
 22 













 (ii)    on January 31, 2023 (or such later date as
mutually agreed upon by the Parties), Purchaser shall pay to Seller the Second Contingent Payment, if such Contingent Payment is owed; and 

(iii)    all Contingent Payments shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
bank account(s) designated by Seller in writing. 
 (d)    Seller shall have the right to dispute
Purchaser’s calculation of any Calendar Year Average NYMEX Price determined in accordance with Section 2.7(c) by delivering written notice of such dispute to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days of Purchaser’s delivery of its
calculation of the applicable Calendar Year Average NYMEX Price. Any such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 16.2 of this Agreement. If any dispute is pending at the time a Contingent Payment is owed, Purchaser shall not be obligated
to pay such Contingent Payment until the date that is two (2) Business Days following the date of the final resolution of such dispute in accordance with Section 16.2. 

(e)    For the avoidance of doubt, if Purchaser does not make a Stock Election, then Purchaser shall have
no obligation to make the Contingent Payments to Seller pursuant to this Section 2.7. 

(f)    Any Contingent Payments made pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be treated as an adjustment
to the Final Purchase Price for the Assets for federal, and applicable state and local, income tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law. 

ARTICLE 3 
 ENVIRONMENTAL
MATTERS 
 3.1    Definition of Environmental Defect. 

As used in this Agreement, the term “Environmental Defect” means, with respect to any of the Assets, any (a) non-compliance with applicable Environmental Laws or (b) condition that exists with respect to the air, land, soil, surface, subsurface strata, surface water, ground water or sediments that causes any
Assets to be subject to obligations to perform any investigation, monitoring, response, removal, construction, closure, disposal or other remedial action under Environmental Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be considered
to be an Environmental Defect: (i) any Retained Obligation, (ii) any condition, contamination, liability, loss, cost, expense or claim related to NORM or asbestos except to the extent currently resulting in non-compliance with, or any remedial obligation under, Environmental Laws, (iii) all obligations and liabilities for plugging, abandonment and restoration obligations as described in
Section 10.2 except to the extent currently resulting in non-compliance with Environmental Laws, and (iv) the matters set forth on Schedule 6.1(l). 

3.2    Notice of Environmental Defects. 

(a)    If, as a consequence of its Pre-Acquisition Review,
Purchaser desires to assert a claim of an Environmental Defect with respect to any Assets, Purchaser must deliver claim notices to Seller (each an “Environmental Defect Notice”) no later than sixty (60) days after the Execution
Date but in any event at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date 

  
 23 













 
(such cut-off date being the “Defect Claim Date”). Each Environmental Defect Notice shall be in writing and shall include (i) a
description of the alleged Environmental Defect(s) reasonably sufficient for Seller to determine the basis of the alleged Environmental Defect, including, at a minimum, the relevant Environmental Law citation, (ii) identification of the
Asset(s) adversely affected by the Environmental Defect (each an “Environmental Defect Property”), (iii) all documents upon which Purchaser relies for its assertion of an Environmental Defect, including, at a minimum, supporting
documents reasonably sufficient for Seller (as well as any environmental engineering consultant hired by Seller) to identify the existence of the alleged Environmental Defect(s), and (iv) Purchaser’s reasonable estimate of the cost of
eliminating, removing, curing or otherwise addressing such Environmental Defect to the extent required by, and consistent with, Governmental Authorities and Environmental Law in accordance with Section 3.2(f) (the “Environmental Defect
Amount”) and the computations and information upon which Purchaser’s belief is based, including any analysis by any environmental engineering consultant firm hired by Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall be sufficient for
Purchaser to satisfy clause (iii) of this Section 3.2(a) by making such supporting documents available to Seller for electronic download or by delivering to Seller an electronic hard drive containing such supporting documents, in each
case, within three (3) Business Days of the Defect Claim Date. To give Seller an opportunity to commence reviewing and curing Environmental Defects, Purchaser agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to give Seller, on or before the end of
each calendar week prior to the Defect Claim Date, written notice of all Environmental Defects discovered by Purchaser during the preceding calendar week, which notice may be preliminary in nature and supplemented prior to the Defect Claim Date.

 (b)    Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt, at Seller’s sole cost,
to cure or remove on or before 90 days after the Defect Claim Date (the “Cure Period”), any Environmental Defects for which Seller has received an Environmental Defect Notice from Purchaser prior to the Defect Claim Date. No
reduction shall be made to the Unadjusted Purchase Price paid at Closing with respect to any Environmental Defect unless Seller and Purchaser have agreed to the existence of such Environmental Defect and the applicable Environmental Defect Amount
(and any such reduction shall be subject to the limitations described in Section 3.2(h)). If, by the end of the Cure Period Seller has not cured the Environmental Defects or Seller and Purchaser cannot agree on (i) the proper and adequate
cure for any such Environmental Defect, (ii) the Environmental Defect Amount, or (iii) whether the alleged Environmental Defect constitutes an Environmental Defect, such dispute(s) shall be finally and exclusively resolved in accordance
with the provisions of Section 3.2(g). Seller’s election to attempt to cure an Environmental Defect shall be without prejudice to its rights under Section 3.2(g) and shall not constitute an admission against interests or a waiver of
Seller’s right to dispute the existence, nature or value of, or cost to cure, the alleged Environmental Defect. During the Cure Period and following the Closing, Seller shall conduct any cure of alleged Environmental Defects using its own
resources, personnel and advisors in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with Purchaser’s ownership and operation of the Assets following Closing and in compliance with Purchaser’s HSSE policies to the extent provided (or made
available) to Seller in advance; provided, however, that Purchaser, at its expense, shall reasonably cooperate with Seller’s efforts including, without cost to Seller, granting Seller and its consultants, advisers and contractors
reasonable access to the Properties after reasonable advance notice before accessing any Property (which shall be not less than 48 hours advance notice), with full rights to conduct sampling of soils and groundwater, for purposes of making any
assessment or evaluation of the alleged Environmental Defect and conducting any remediation that may be 

  
 24 













 
required, and making Purchaser’s personnel available after the Closing for interviews conducted pursuant to Seller’s cure efforts, answering reasonable information requests and making
records reasonably available for review during normal business hours timely following Seller’s request for same. SELLER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS PURCHASER, AND EACH MEMBER OF THE PURCHASER GROUP FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND
ALL CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING COURT COSTS AND REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES), INCLUDING CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, COSTS AND EXPENSES ATTRIBUTABLE TO PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO ACCESS TO THE ASSETS FOLLOWING CLOSING BY SELLER OR ANY MEMBER OF THE SELLER GROUP FOR PURPOSES OF CONDUCTING ENVIRONMENTAL CURATIVE ACTIONS EVEN IF CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT), STRICT
LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL FAULT OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON, BUT EXCLUDING AS SUCH MAY RESULT FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY MEMBER OF THE PURCHASER GROUP. 

(c)    In the event that any Environmental Defect is not waived by Purchaser or, subject to
Section 3.2(b) and Section 3.2(g), cured prior to the end of the Cure Period; (1) Purchaser may, in the event that its asserted Environmental Defect Amount for an Environmental Defect Property equals or exceeds the greater of
(I) the Allocated Value of such Environmental Defect Property or (II) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), cause Seller to retain the entirety of the Environmental Defect Property, in which event, Seller shall pay Purchaser an amount
equal to the Allocated Value of such Environmental Defect Property upon the reconveyance of such Environmental Defect Property to Seller; and (2) Seller shall, after giving effect to Purchaser’s right in foregoing clause (1) (if
applicable), at its sole election, and subject to the Individual Environmental Threshold and the Aggregate Environmental Deductible, elect to: 

(i)    accept a reduction in the Unadjusted Purchase Price equal to the Environmental Defect Amount,
determined pursuant to Section 3.2(f) as being the value of such Environmental Defect, in which event, Seller shall promptly pay Purchaser an amount equal to the Environmental Defect Amount of such Environmental Defect Property; or 

(ii)    if the Environmental Defect Amount for an Environmental Defect Property equals or exceeds the
Allocated Value of such Asset, retain the entirety of the Property that is adversely affected by such Environmental Defect, in which event, Seller shall pay Purchaser an amount equal to such Allocated Value. 

(d)    Upon Seller electing to retain a Property because of an Environmental Defect pursuant to
Section 3.2(c)(ii), the Parties shall complete any further conveyancing or reconveyancing of property as is necessary to effect such remedy. In the case of any such reconveyancing, Purchaser shall assign the relevant Property to or as directed
by Seller using a form of assignment or deed substantially similar to the applicable Assignment or Deed. 

(e)    Subject to Purchaser’s rights under Article 11, this Section 3.2 shall be the exclusive
right and remedy of Purchaser with respect to Environmental Defects or any other matter or liability related to Environmental Laws or the environmental condition of the Properties. 

  
 25 













 
In this regard and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if an Environmental Defect under this Section 3.2 results from any matter which could also result in the breach
of any representation or warranty of a Seller as set forth in Section 6.1 (excluding the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 6.1(e), 6.1(g) and 6.1(l)), then Purchaser shall only be entitled to assert such matter as an
Environmental Defect to the extent permitted by this Section 3.2 and shall be precluded from also asserting such matter as the basis of the breach of any such representation or warranty (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that
Purchaser shall be entitled to assert such matter as the basis of a breach of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 6.1(e), 6.1(g) and 6.1(l)). 

(f)    The Environmental Defect Amount resulting from an Environmental Defect shall be an amount
determined in accordance with the following methodology, terms and conditions: 
 (i)    if Purchaser
and Seller agree on the Environmental Defect Amount, that amount shall be the Environmental Defect Amount; 

(ii)    the Environmental Defect Amount shall be based upon applicable Environmental Laws in effect at
the Defect Claim Date; 
 (iii)    the estimated costs of remediating the Environmental Defect shall
not exceed the estimated costs of complying with the requirements of Governmental Authorities or Environmental Law to remediate the Environmental Defect; and 

(iv)    in addition, if applicable, the estimated costs of remediating the Environmental Defect shall be
based upon the costs to remediate and restore the surface and groundwater of the Property to applicable standards consistent with the current use of such surface and/or groundwater as of the Closing Date. 

(g)    Seller and Purchaser shall attempt to agree on all Environmental Defects and Environmental Defect
Amounts prior to the Closing, but the Closing shall not be delayed because of failure to so agree. If, after the end of the Cure Period, Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree on an alleged Environmental Defect, Environmental Defect Amount or
whether an Environmental Defect has been cured as provided herein (the “Disputed Environmental Matters”) such dispute(s), and only such dispute(s), shall be exclusively and finally resolved in accordance with the following
provisions of this Section 3.2(g). 
 (i)    Purchaser shall provide to Seller by not later than
the 10th Business Day following the last day of the Cure Period an updated written description meeting the requirements of Section 3.2(a), together with all supporting documentation, of the Disputed Environmental Matters. By not later than 10
Business Days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s written description of the Disputed Environmental Matters, Seller shall provide to Purchaser a written response setting forth Seller’s position with respect to the Disputed
Environmental Matters together with all supporting documentation. 
 (ii)    By not later than 10
Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s written response to Purchaser’s written description of the Disputed Environmental Matters, Purchaser may initiate a non-administered
arbitration of any such dispute(s) by written notice to 

  
 26 













 
Seller of any Disputed Environmental Matters (“Final Disputed Environmental Matters”) not otherwise resolved or waived that are to be resolved by arbitration (the
“Environmental Arbitration Notice”). 
 (iii)    The arbitration shall be held before
a single arbitrator (the “Environmental Arbitrator”), determined as follows. The arbitrator shall be a licensed environmental engineer or environmental attorney with at least ten (10) years’ experience assessing the
environmental condition of oil and gas properties in the state where the Environmental Defect Property at issue is located and who has not performed material services for either Party or their Affiliates in the prior five (5) years. Within
three (3) Business Days following Seller’s receipt of the Environmental Arbitration Notice, Seller and Purchaser shall each exchange lists of five (5) acceptable, qualified arbitrators. Within three (3) Business Days following
the exchange of lists of acceptable arbitrators, Purchaser and Seller shall select by mutual agreement one arbitrator from the combined lists. If no agreement is reached, Purchaser and Seller shall each, by 5:00 pm Central Time of the second
Business Day identify a single arbitrator from their original list of five (5) acceptable arbitrators. The two (2) selected arbitrators shall then together select a third arbitrator from the original lists within three (3) Business
Days following their selection. Such third arbitrator shall serve as the Environmental Arbitrator. 

(iv)    Within three (3) Business Days following the selection of the Environmental Arbitrator, the
Parties shall submit one copy to the Environmental Arbitrator of (A) this Agreement, with specific reference to this Section 3.2(g), (B) the Purchaser’s written description of the Final Disputed Environmental Matters together with the
supporting documents that were previously provided to Seller pursuant to Section 3.2(g)(i), (C) Seller’s written response to the Purchaser’s written description of the Final Disputed Environmental Matters, together with the
supporting documents that were previously provided to Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.2(g)(i), and (D) the Environmental Arbitration Notice. Within five (5) Business Days following such submissions, each of the Parties may submit one
written response to the other Party’s submission. The Environmental Arbitrator shall resolve the Final Disputed Environmental Matters based only on the foregoing submissions. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have the right to submit
additional documentation to the Environmental Arbitrator nor to demand discovery on the other Party. 

(v)    The Environmental Arbitrator shall make its determination by written decision within 30 Business
Days following Seller’s receipt of the Environmental Arbitration Notice (the “Environmental Arbitration Decision”). The Environmental Arbitration Decision shall be final and binding upon both Parties, without right of appeal.
In making its determination, the Environmental Arbitrator shall be bound by the rules set forth in this Section 3.2(g). The Environmental Arbitrator shall have no ex parte communications with the Parties concerning the Final Disputed
Environmental Matters. All communications between any Party and the Environmental Arbitrator shall be conducted in writing, with copies sent simultaneously to the other Party in the same manner, or at a meeting to which all Parties have been invited
and of which such Parties have been provided at least five (5) Business Days’ notice. The Environmental Arbitrator may consult with and engage disinterested Third Parties, including counsel, to advise the Environmental Arbitrator, but
shall disclose to the Parties the identities of such consultants. Any such consultant shall not (i) be currently working as an employee or consultant for either Party, nor be in discussions about potential future work for either Party,
(ii) have worked as an employee or 

  
 27 













 
consultant for either Party or its Affiliates during the two (2)-year period preceding the arbitration, or (iii) have any financial interest in the dispute. 

(vi)    The Environmental Arbitrator shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the
specific disputed Environmental Defects and Environmental Defect Amounts and shall not be empowered to award damages, interest or penalties to either Party with respect to any matter. 

(vii)    Each Party shall each bear its own legal fees and other costs of preparing and presenting its
case. Each Party shall bear one-half of the costs and expenses of the Environmental Arbitrator, including any costs incurred by the Environmental Arbitrator that are attributable to the consultation of any
Third Party. 
 (viii)    Following the issuance of the Environmental Arbitration Decision, Purchaser
shall have the right to make the remedy election (if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.2(c)(1); provided that if Purchaser is not entitled to such election pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2(c)(1), then Seller shall have the right
to make its remedy election pursuant to Section 3.2(c)(2). Any Environmental Arbitration Decision shall be final and binding as to that Disputed Environmental Matter. 

(ix)    Any dispute over the interpretation or application of this Section 3.2 shall be decided by
the Environmental Arbitrator with reference to the Laws of the State of Texas. Any award of the Environmental Arbitrator may be enforced against both Parties in the courts located in Harris County or Houston, Texas, or any other state in which any
Party holds or owns property of any kind. 
 (h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, in no event shall there be any remedies available under this Section 3.2: 
 (i)    for
any Environmental Defect Amount with respect to an individual Environmental Defect Property if such amount does not exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (the “Individual Environmental Threshold”); provided, for the
avoidance of doubt, that the Environmental Defect Amounts for multiple Environmental Defects with respect to the same Environmental Defect Property may be aggregated for purposes of satisfying the Individual Environmental Threshold; and 

(ii)    unless the aggregate amount of all such Environmental Defect Amounts (provided that each such
Environmental Defect Amount exceeds the Individual Environmental Threshold and excluding any Environmental Defect Amounts with respect to Environmental Defects cured by Seller) exceeds the Aggregate Environmental Deductible, after which point,
subject to the Individual Environmental Threshold, Purchaser shall be entitled to remedies elected by Seller in accordance with Section 3.2(c) only to the extent that such Environmental Defects exceed the Aggregate Environmental Deductible.

 (iii)    Without prejudice to any of the other dates by which performance or the exercise of rights
is due hereunder, or the Parties’ rights or obligations in respect thereof, the Parties hereby acknowledge that, as set forth more fully in Section 15.7, time is of the essence in performing their obligations and exercising their rights
under this Section 3.2, and, as 

  
 28 













 
such, that subject to Section 15.11 each and every date and time by which such performance or exercise is due shall be the firm and final date and time. 

(i)    If Seller agrees to remedy specific Environmental Defects under Section 3.2(b), then
Purchaser agrees that at Seller’s election, all negotiations and contacts with Governmental Authorities for approval and review of such remedial action shall be made by Seller with reasonable prior review and input from Purchaser. 

EXCEPT FOR PURCHASER’S REMEDIES FOR ANY BREACH OF SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT OR FOR INDEMNITY UNDER ARTICLE 11, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ARTICLE 3 CONSTITUTE PURCHASER’S ENTIRE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTIES AND COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAW. 

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 3.2 AND SUBJECT TO PURCHASER’S RIGHTS UNDER ARTICLE 11, PURCHASER SHALL ACQUIRE THE
PROPERTIES “WHERE IS” AND “AS IS” WITH NO RIGHT TO RECOVER ANY FURTHER AMOUNTS FROM SELLER FOR ANY LIABILITIES, COSTS OR EXPENSES RELATED TO THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
AND DAMAGES TO NATURAL RESOURCES). SUBJECT TO PURCHASER’S RIGHTS UNDER THIS SECTION 3.2, ARTICLE 11 AND WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACH OF SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ACQUISITION OF THE PROPERTY

 ARTICLE 4 

TITLE MATTERS 

4.1    Exclusive Title Remedy. 

Purchaser represents that it has fully completed its title due diligence investigation of the Assets and is not relying on any
representation of Seller with respect to title to the Assets other than as specifically set forth in Section 6.1 of this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall limit the effectiveness of the special warranty of title contained in
the Assignments and Deed. Purchaser’s remedies for any breach of Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement or for indemnity under Section 11.1(b) or with respect to Purchaser’s rights under the special
warranty of 

  
 29 













 
title contained in the Assignments and Deed, as applicable, are Purchaser’s exclusive remedy against Seller with respect to title to the Assets. 

4.2    Consents to Assignment and Preferential Rights to Purchase. 

(a)    Promptly, but no later than five (5) Business Days, after the Execution Date, Seller shall
prepare and send (i) notices to the holders of any required consents to assignment that are set forth on Schedule 6.1(i) requesting consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) notices to the holders of any
applicable preferential rights to purchase or similar rights that are set forth on Schedule 6.1(i) in compliance with the terms of such rights and requesting waivers of such rights, which such notices shall be in the form attached as Exhibit F. With
respect to any required consent to assignment, preferential right to purchase or similar right, in each case, that would have been required to be set forth on Schedule 6.1(i) had Seller had knowledge of such consent, preferential right or similar
right prior to the Execution Date, but which consent, preferential right or similar right is not set forth on Schedule 6.1(i) and is discovered by Seller or Purchaser prior to Closing, Seller shall send to the holder of each such consent,
preferential right or similar right a notice pursuant to the terms of the prior sentence as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than five Business Days after discovery of any such consent, preferential right or similar right). The
consideration payable under this Agreement for any particular Asset for purposes of preferential purchase right notices shall be the Allocated Value for such Asset. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts (at no unreasonable out-of-pocket cost to Seller) to cause such consents to assignment and waivers of preferential rights to purchase or similar rights (or the exercise thereof) to be obtained
and delivered prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall cooperate (at no unreasonable out-of-pocket cost to Purchaser) with Seller in seeking to obtain such consents to
assignment and waivers of preferential rights. Solely with respect to consents set forth on Schedule 6.1(i), at Closing, Purchaser will provide such additional collateral or security to meet reasonable financial requirements demanded by
counterparties in order to obtain consents from such counterparties. In the event Purchaser (or its designee) fails to provide such reasonable adequate assurance to a counterparty or a counterparty reasonably rejects such adequate assurance,
Purchaser shall provide to Seller, at Closing, either (i) an irrevocable standby letter of credit, commercial bank guarantee, surety bond or similar credit support instrument that is issued by a financial institution that has a credit rating of
“A-” or better by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group or Fitch Ratings Ltd. or “A3” or better by Moody’s Investor Service Inc. or (ii) a guaranty from a creditworthy
entity reasonably acceptable to Seller. Such credit support instrument shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller and in an amount reasonably determined by Seller. Seller may draw upon (or seek payment under) such credit support instrument
in the event Purchaser (or its designee) does not fulfill the obligations as to the Assets, as applicable. 

(b)    In the event that a consent requirement was not satisfied prior to Closing: 

(i)    if such consent requirement is subject to a consent that is not a Hard Consent, then Seller will
assign such Asset to Purchaser at Closing and Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser by reason of any inability or failure to obtain any such consent to assignment, and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, and hold Seller Group harmless from any
losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by Seller Group resulting from the failure to obtain such consent; and 

  
 30 













 (ii)    if failure to obtain such consent would cause
the assignment of the Asset(s) affected thereby to be void or voidable or result in the termination of (or right to terminate) a Mineral Interest, Surface Interest or Basic Document under the express terms thereof or if any such consent is expressly
denied in writing (each such consent, a “Hard Consent”), the Parties will proceed with Closing without assigning such Asset(s) subject to the Hard Consent. In the case of (A) Hard Consents identified on Schedule 6.1(i), the
Unadjusted Purchase Price will not be adjusted at Closing, and (B) any Hard Consents not identified on Schedule 6.1(i), the Unadjusted Purchase Price will be reduced at Closing by the Allocated Value of such Asset(s). The Asset(s) subject to
any unobtained Hard Consents shall be held by Seller for the benefit of Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.2(b); and 

(iii)    in the case of Sections 4.2(b)(ii)(A) and (B), Seller will continue after the Closing to use
commercially reasonable efforts (at no unreasonable out-of-pocket cost to Seller) to obtain the consent within one (1) year after the Closing so that such Asset can
be transferred to Purchaser, upon receipt of the consent. In the case of clauses (A) and (B) above, if such Hard Consent is obtained within such one (1)-year period, then, seven (7) Business Days after receiving such Hard Consent,
(I) Seller shall transfer the Asset(s) excluded at Closing due to such unobtained Hard Consent to Purchaser and (II) in the case of clause (B) above, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Allocated Value of such
Asset(s). 
 (iv)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in cases where a Hard
Consent has not been obtained as of the Closing with respect to a Basic Document and Purchaser is assigned the Assets (other than such Basic Document) to which the Basic Document relates but the Basic Document is not transferred to Purchaser, then
the following shall apply: (i) Seller and Purchaser shall continue after Closing to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Hard Consent so that such Basic Document can be transferred to Purchaser upon receipt of the Hard Consent;
(ii) the Basic Document shall be held by Seller for the benefit of Purchaser; (iii) Purchaser shall pay all amounts due thereunder; (iv) Purchaser shall be responsible for all Losses under such Basic Document and for the performance
of any obligations under such Basic Document to the extent that Purchaser has been transferred the Assets necessary to perform under such Basic Document until such Hard Consent is obtained and (v) until such time as Seller retains such Asset
pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) (if ever), INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD SELLER GROUP HARMLESS FROM ANY MATTERS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOSSES ASSERTED AGAINST, IMPOSED UPON OR INCURRED BY SELLER GROUP:
(1) RESULTING FROM OR CAUSED BY PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO PERFORM ALL OBLIGATIONS UNDER, OR PAY ALL AMOUNTS DUE PURSUANT TO, ANY AGREEMENT RELATED TO THE ASSET; (2) AS A CONSEQUENCE OF SELLER REMAINING A PARTY TO ANY AGREEMENT RELATED TO
THE ASSET THAT COULD NOT BE ASSIGNED AT CLOSING; OR (3) AS A CONSEQUENCE OF SELLER PROVIDING PURCHASER ANY BENEFIT UNDER ANY AGREEMENT RELATED TO THE ASSET UNTIL THE CONSENT TO ASSIGN IS SATISFIED OR THE AGREEMENT HAS TERMINATED. Within ten
(10) Business Days of receiving such Hard Consent, Seller shall convey to Purchaser such Basic Document using a form of assignment substantially similar to the Assignments, such assignment to be effective as of the Effective Date. 

(v)    If any such Hard Consent is not obtained within one (1) year after Closing, Purchaser may
elect, in its sole discretion, to either: (A) receive an assignment of such 

  
 31 













 
Asset and INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD SELLER GROUP HARMLESS FROM ANY MATTERS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ASSIGNMENT in addition to any indemnification obligations under Section 11.1(a)(iii), or
(B) cause Seller to retain such Asset subject to the unobtained Hard Consent. In the event of (B), Seller shall have all rights available to Seller to terminate any agreement related to the Asset and, if such unobtained Hard Consent is set
forth on Schedule 6.1(i), Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any actual out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection therewith. 

(c)    Until (i) consent is received from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural
Resources for Seller to transfer its interest in the DCNR Agreements to Purchaser and (ii) Seller assigns its interest in the DCNR Agreements to Purchaser, Purchaser shall not access the properties that are subject to the DCNR Agreements or
perform any operations thereon without Seller’s prior written consent. However, Purchaser shall perform all administrative and accounting obligations under the DCNR Agreements after the Transition Services Agreement is terminated. If Seller is
required to perform any obligations under the DCNR Agreements before the agreements can be transferred to Purchaser, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist and cooperate with Seller to enable Seller’s performance of such
obligations. 
 (d)    If, prior to Closing, (i) the holder of a preferential right to purchase
elects not to purchase the applicable Asset or waives its right to do so, or (ii) the time in which the preferential right to purchase may be exercised has expired, then such Asset will be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing in accordance with
the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. 
 (e)    If, prior to the Closing Date, a
holder of a preferential right to purchase notifies Seller that it elects to exercise its preferential right to purchase with respect to the applicable Asset or the time period for exercising such preferential purchase right has not expired, then
(i) such Asset will not be conveyed to Purchaser at Closing and will be deemed an Excluded Asset, and (ii) the Unadjusted Purchase Price will be reduced by the applicable Allocated Value for such retained Asset, provided, however, if the
holder of such preferential right to purchase fails to complete the purchase of said Property (or portion thereof) within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, then Seller shall deliver such retained Assets to Purchaser within
three (3) Business Days following such one hundred eighty (180)-day period and Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the amount by which the Unadjusted Purchase Price was reduced at Closing in
respect of such retained Asset. 
 (f)    Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of the exercise of any
preferential right to purchase in respect of the Assets. 
 PURCHASER’S REMEDIES FOR ANY BREACH OF SELLER’S
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, FOR INDEMNITY UNDER ARTICLE 11 AND THE SPECIAL WARRANTY OF TITLE IN THE CONTAINED IN THE ASSIGNMENTS AND DEED CONSTITUTE PURCHASER’S ENTIRE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO THE TITLE TO THE
ASSETS. 
 SUBJECT TO PURCHASER’S RIGHTS UNDER ARTICLE 11 AND THE SPECIAL WARRANTY OF TITLE CONTAINED IN THE
ASSIGNMENTS AND DEED, PURCHASER SHALL ACQUIRE THE ASSETS “WHERE IS” AND “AS IS” WITH NO 

  
 32 













 
RIGHT TO RECOVER ANY FURTHER AMOUNTS FROM SELLER FOR ANY DEFECT TO OR LIEN OR ENCUMBRANCE UPON THE TITLE TO THE ASSETS.

 39 













 
Seller and to Seller’s Knowledge, the applicable counterparty thereto. There is no existing material default by Seller or, to Seller’s Knowledge, any counterparties under any of the
Midstream Surface Interests. The terms of all Midstream Surface Interests permit Seller to transport Third Party Hydrocarbons across such Midstream Surface Interests without payment of a fee or royalty and without seeking consent from any Third
Party.

Seller’s Knowledge, all other Pipelines) were designed and constructed (and have been operated and maintained) in accordance with standards, methods, codes, specifications and techniques utilized by prudent operators of similarly situated
midstream assets (taking into account, where appropriate, all applicable Laws for pipelines designated as transmission and regulated gathering) in the area in which the Midstream Assets are located, and (B) all Pipelines that were designed and
constructed by Seller or its Affiliates since December 31, 2010 to be capable of operating at a Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure of 1440 PSIG or greater, as set forth in Schedule 6.1(t), are free from any asset integrity issues which would
require any pressure derating. The pipeline pressure test records summary provided to Purchaser in the VDR entitled “SWEPI Pipeline Pressure Test Records Summary_3_10_20.xls” is true and correct in all material respects. Except as set
forth on Schedule 6.1(e), all permitting actions and governmental record keeping, inclusive of air quality reporting and documentation, are up-to-date in all material
respects and have been conducted continuously since December 31, 2010 in all material respects with respect to the Midstream Assets. 

(v)    Seller has, in all material respects, valid and defensible title to, or a valid leasehold interest
in, all Midstream Equipment, Pipelines and other personal property utilized in the ownership, use or operation of the Midstream Assets, free and clear of all liens, defects and other encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances). Seller is not in
default (and to Seller’s Knowledge no counterparty is in material default) under any lease for Midstream Equipment or other personal property to which Seller is a party and which is utilized in connection with the ownership, use or operation of
the Midstream Assets. There are no Pipelines or other portions of any Midstream Systems that are currently incomplete or under construction in any material respects. 

(u)    Upstream Surface Interests. Seller owns, or has the right to use (subject to Permitted
Encumbrances), the Surface Interests as are necessary to use, own and operate the Assets in the same manner as such Assets are currently used, owned and operated by the Seller as of the Execution Date. Each Surface Interest is (a) not subject
to any term limits or (b) subject to term limits that are renewable or extendable with the payment of fees reasonably expected to be equal to or less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). There is no existing material default by Seller
or, to Seller’s Knowledge, any counterparties under any of the Surface Interests. 

  
 40 













 (v)    Regulatory Status. Neither Seller nor any
of its properties and operations, as applicable, is or has been subject to (or is in material violation of) any regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) as (i) a natural gas company under the Natural Gas
Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 717, et seq., as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, (ii) an intrastate pipeline under the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, 15 U.S.C. Section 3301, et seq., as amended and the regulations
promulgated thereunder, transporting gas in interstate commerce, or (iii) a common carrier under the Interstate Commerce Act, as implemented by FERC pursuant to 49 U.S.C. Section 60502 and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 

(w)    Non-Consent Operations. As of the Execution Date,
Seller has not declined to participate in any operation or activity proposed with respect to the Assets on Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2 that could result in
Seller’s interest in any Assets becoming subject to a penalty, non-payment or forfeiture as a result of such election not to participate in such operation or activity, except to the extent reflected in
the net revenue interest and working interest set forth on Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2. 

(x)    Investor Status; Independent Evaluation. Seller is an “accredited investor” as
such term is defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act. Seller (i) has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Stock
Consideration, (ii) is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Stock Consideration, (iii) has conducted its own investigation of NFGC, (iv) confirms it has had access to information as it deemed necessary to make its
decision to acquire the Stock Consideration if the Stock Election is exercised, and (v) confirms it has been offered the opportunity to ask questions of NFGC and receive answers thereto, as it deemed necessary in connection with the decision to
acquire the Stock Consideration. Seller further represents that it is not acquiring any Stock Consideration as a nominee or agent or otherwise for any other person and was not formed for the purpose of acquiring shares of NFGC Common Stock. Seller
has relied solely on the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and in any Closing document and is not relying on any other communication (written or oral) of NFGC or any of its Affiliates, as investment or tax advice or as a
recommendation to acquire the Stock Consideration, if any. 
 (y)    No Review. Seller
understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon the merits of an investment in shares of NFGC Common Stock or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of such an investment. 

(z)    Restrictions on Transfer. 

(i)    Seller is acquiring the Stock Consideration, if any, solely for Seller’s own account, for
investment purposes, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of NFGC Common Stock in violation of the Securities Act. Seller understands that the Stock Consideration, if any, has not been registered under the
Securities Act or any state securities Laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof that depend in part upon the investment intent of Seller and of the other representations made by Seller in this Agreement. Seller understands
that Purchaser and NFGC are relying upon the representations and covenants in this Agreement (and any supplemental information provided by Seller to Purchaser and NFGC expressly for the purpose) for the purposes of determining whether this
transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions. 

  
 41 













 (ii)    Seller understands that the Stock
Consideration, if any, will constitute “restricted securities” under applicable federal securities Laws and that the Securities Act and the rules of the SEC provide in substance that Seller may dispose of the Stock Consideration only
pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements thereunder. 

(iii)    Seller agrees: (A) that Seller will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer, grant a
participation in or otherwise dispose of the Stock Consideration, if any, or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing (for purposes of this clause (iii), a “transfer”), except pursuant to a
registration of the Stock Consideration under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws, or in a transaction that is exempt from such registration provisions, (B) that the certificates (or electronic equivalent) representing
any Stock Consideration will initially bear a legend making reference to the foregoing restrictions, and (C) that NFGC and its Affiliates will not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such Stock Consideration except in
compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

7.1    Access to Properties and Information. 

(a)    Purchaser acknowledges that, as of the Execution Date, it has already received from Seller
(i) access to a virtual data room containing images of certain documents, instruments and agreements relevant to Purchaser’s examination of the Assets (such virtual data room and its contents as of one (1) Business Day prior to the

Seller’s or any of its Affiliates’ possession or control and (iii) Seller’s and its Affiliates’ employees, in each case, that are reasonably necessary to facilitate review without unreasonable interruption to Seller’s

 (i)    The right to enter all or
any part of the Assets at any reasonable time and with reasonable advance notice before accessing any Asset (which shall be not less than 48 hours advance notice), and to inspect, inventory, investigate, perform environmental assessments, study
and examine the same and the operations conducted thereon (an “Environmental Site Assessment”) (provided that Purchaser shall have no right to conduct any invasive environmental sampling or testing on any Properties without the
consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion and may be subject to any conditions); provided, however, if, following the conduct of any Environmental Site Assessment consistent with US EPA recognized
standards (e.g. ASTM E1527-13; E2247;-16 E1528-14e1), Purchaser’s Environmental Professional, based on the findings and results of the Environmental Site
Assessment, identifies Recognized Environmental Conditions for which further investigation, sampling or testing or other invasive investigation is necessary to determine the existence or magnitude of an Environmental Defect or Environmental Defect
Amount, Purchaser may request to undertake further investigation, sampling or testing or other invasive investigation activities, which request shall be accompanied by a final version of the 

  
 48 













 
Environmental Site Assessment. Following the receipt of such request, Seller shall elect, in its reasonable discretion, to permit or refuse to permit the conduct of any such activities by
Purchaser; provided that, if Seller or its Affiliate has the right to permit such activities and Seller denies Purchaser’s reasonable proposal for further investigation, sampling, testing or other invasive investigation, then Purchaser
shall have the right to exclude such Asset from the Assets to be conveyed to Purchaser at Closing, in which event the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of such Asset; and 

(ii)    The right, subject to compliance with applicable Law, including the HSR Act, to inspect and
review at Seller’s offices at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice, all of the Records. 

(c)    Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall maintain the results of its investigation, testing and
evaluation and review of files and records, confidential in accordance with and otherwise comply with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement dated October 29, 2019 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). 

(d)    Purchaser shall provide Seller a copy of any final assessment reports of or about the Assets,
including, without limitation, any final reports, data and conclusions developed pursuant to the Pre-Acquisition Review, promptly after such assessment report has been furnished to or obtained by Purchaser,
and Seller shall be permitted in the presence of Purchaser to discuss the portions of any such final assessment reports relating to asserted Environmental Defects with the party who prepared such reports. 

(e)    While conducting the Pre-Acquisition Review, Purchaser and
its employees, agents and consultants shall abide by Seller’s safety rules, regulations and other operating policies applicable to such Properties that are furnished to Purchaser by Seller prior to such Persons’ access. 

7.2    Notification of Breaches. 

Until the Closing, 

(a)    Purchaser shall notify Seller promptly after Purchaser obtains Knowledge that any representation
or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement is untrue in any material respect or will be untrue in any material respect as of the Closing Date or that any covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by Seller prior to or on such Closing
Date has not been so performed or observed in any material respect; provided, that Purchaser’s failure to provide such notice shall not be deemed to waive or otherwise prejudice its rights to assert a breach of such representations,
warranties or covenants; and 
 (b)    Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly after Seller obtains
Knowledge that any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement is untrue in any material respect or will be untrue in any material respect as of the Closing Date or that any covenant or agreement to be performed or observed
by Purchaser prior to or on such Closing Date has not been so performed or observed in a material respect; provided, that Seller’s failure to provide such notice shall not be deemed to waive or otherwise prejudice its rights to assert a
breach of such representations, warranties or covenants. 

  
 49 













 Any of Purchaser’s or Seller’s representations or warranties that
are untrue or shall become untrue in any material respect between the Execution Date and the Closing Date, and any of Purchaser’s or Seller’s covenants or agreements to be performed or observed prior to the Closing Date that have not been
so performed or observed in any material respect, shall be considered not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement to the extent that any such breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement is (if curable) cured by the Closing.

 7.3    Operation of the Business. 

From the date of this Agreement until the Closing occurs, Seller will continue to operate the Assets in the ordinary course of
business and in material compliance with all applicable Laws, including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, and in material compliance with all Basic Documents. From the date hereof until Closing, except (i) as required in Seller’s
reasonable judgment in the event of an emergency to protect life, property or the environment, (ii) as set forth on Schedule 1.2, Schedule 6.1(o) or Schedule 7.3, or (iii) as expressly consented to in writing by Purchaser, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except with respect to clauses (c), (d), (e) and (g) below, in respect of which Purchaser’s consent may be withheld at its sole discretion), Seller shall: 

(a)    not expend any funds in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) per operation or

OR RELATING TO ACCESS TO THE ASSETS PRIOR TO CLOSING BY PURCHASER OR ANY MEMBER OF THE PURCHASER GROUP (EXCEPT AS SUCH MAY RESULT FROM THE MERE DISCOVERY OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL DEFECT), EVEN IF CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER
SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL FAULT OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON, BUT EXCLUDING AS SUCH MAY RESULT FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY MEMBER OF THE SELLER GROUP.

(a)      Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the
Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Parties understand and agree that reasonable best efforts shall not include: (i) entering into any
settlement, undertaking, consent decree, stipulation or agreement with any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) litigating, challenging or taking any other action with respect to any
judicial or administrative action or proceeding taken by any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) divesting, selling or otherwise holding separate, or taking


  
 52 













 
any other action (or otherwise agreeing to do any of the foregoing) with respect to any of its or its respective Affiliates’ businesses, assets or properties. Except for any filing fees that

Purchaser will reimburse Seller for any filing fees required under the HSR Act in connection with the issuance of the Stock Consideration.  

(b)      Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided and without limiting the
foregoing, from the Execution Date until the Closing, with respect to requirements of the HSR Act, Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to: 

(i)      following approval of the other Parties, make or cause to be made any filing required
under the HSR Act (including any filing that is required, or may be required, with respect to the Stock Consideration) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days of the Execution Date); 

(ii)      comply, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, with any requests received by such
Party or any of its Affiliates from any Governmental Authority under the HSR Act for additional information, documents or other materials;

(iv)      promptly inform the other Parties of any material communication from or to, and any
proposed understanding or agreement with, any Governmental Authority in respect of such filings or any review or investigation of the transaction; 

(v)      subject to appropriate confidentiality protections, consult and cooperate with the
other Parties, including through the exchange of drafts where permissible, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments and opinions made or submitted by or on behalf of any Party to any Governmental
Authorities relating to such filings or any review or investigation of the transaction; and 

(vi)      use reasonable best efforts to cause the expiration of the notice or waiting periods
under the HSR Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable (including requesting early termination of the HSR Act waiting period). 

(c)      Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve prior to Closing any
objections as may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser, including by timely providing such information and making available such personnel as
Purchaser may reasonably request to prepare for and participate in meetings with Governmental Authorities, and/or to respond to any questions raised by Governmental Authorities. 

If a Party intends to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority with respect to such filings, it shall give
the other Party reasonable prior notice of such meeting and permit the 

  
 53 













 
other Party to attend such meeting to the extent practicable and permitted by such Governmental Authority. 

7.6      Operatorship; Guaranties; Consent Order. 

(a)      Between the Execution Date and Closing, Purchaser shall obtain, in the name of
Purchaser or of its Affiliates, replacements for each of the Seller Guaranties set forth on Schedule 6.1(s). At or prior to Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller evidence of such replacements with all applicable Governmental Authorities of such
Seller Guaranties. Seller makes no representation or warranty nor provides any assurance that Purchaser shall succeed Seller as operator of any portion of the Properties. Purchaser agrees that it will promptly take such actions as are necessary to
become the successor operator of those Properties now operated by Seller. 
 (b)      If any
Governmental Authority has not accepted Purchaser as operator of any Assets (to the extent such acceptance is required by applicable Law) at the time of Closing, then to the extent permissible under applicable Laws, Seller shall act as operator of
record of the Assets under the terms of the Transition Services Agreement until such time as all applicable Governmental Authorities approve Purchaser as operator of the Assets. If, within 120 days from the date of Closing, any Governmental
Authority has not accepted Purchaser as operator of any Assets or Purchaser has not submitted written evidence thereof to Seller, Shell shall have the right on written notice to Purchaser to unwind this Agreement as to those Assets for which
Purchaser has not been approved as operator, in which case Purchaser shall assign to Seller the Assets and Seller will reimburse Purchaser in an amount equal to the Allocated Value of the Assets assigned to Seller, and such Assets shall be deemed to
be Excluded Assets for all purposes of this Agreement. Between the Execution Date and Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to support Purchaser’s efforts to become successor operator (to the extent permitted under
applicable joint operating agreements) effective as of Closing. PURCHASER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS SELLER AGAINST ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES AND LIABILITIES, IF ANY, RESULTING FROM PURCHASER’S OPERATION OF THE ASSETS DURING THE TIME PERIOD
BETWEEN CLOSING AND PURCHASER OBTAINING ANY NECESSARY APPROVALS FROM GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH CLAIMS ARISE FROM OR ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SELLER OR ITS AFFILIATES. 

(c)      Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts (including providing any collateral
or security to meet reasonable financial requirements required by the PDEP in connection therewith) to enter into an agreement (the “Replacement Consent Order”) on or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after
the Closing Date (the “Consent Order Replacement Deadline”) with the PDEP whereby Purchaser assumes all of Seller’s compliance obligations under the Consent Order and PDEP releases Seller from all of its obligations under the
Consent Order; provided, however, that Purchaser shall only assume the obligations under the Consent Order to the extent required to operate the Assets following the Closing and in no event shall Purchaser be responsible for any fines or
penalties under the Consent Order except to the extent assessed for Purchaser’s failure to comply therewith following the Closing. If Purchaser fails to obtain a Replacement Consent Order by the Consent Order Replacement Deadline for any Wells
that were subject to the Consent Order, Seller may elect to retain any such Wells, and Seller shall plug, abandon, and decommission such Wells in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws, 

  
 54 













 
rules or regulations, and in a manner consistent with generally accepted industry practices, but Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Seller related to such plugging, abandonment and decommissioning up to an aggregate maximum amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) per Well so retained by Seller.

 Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no bonds, letters of credit, guarantee or other security provided by Seller or any
of its Affiliates with respect to the Assets shall remain in place for the benefit of Purchaser. 

7.7      Employee Matters. 

(a)      Notwithstanding anything in the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, prior to
Closing, Purchaser may offer employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates to any Business Employee identified by Purchaser in its sole discretion on terms and conditions determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion. Within five (5) Business
Days following request from Purchaser, Seller shall post (or send via electronic mail) a written advertisement (electronically or otherwise) prepared by Purchaser notifying Seller’s Business Employees of the positions Purchaser has open for
hire and including information on how such Business Employees may apply for such positions. Purchaser is solely responsible for scheduling any meetings or interviews with any Business Employees interested in employment with Purchaser. The Parties
acknowledge and agree that Purchaser or its Affiliates shall have no obligation to interview or make an offer of employment to any of the Business Employees (including any Business Employee who is not actively at work) pursuant to this Agreement or
for any other reason. Each Business Employee who accepts an offer of employment with Purchaser and commences employment with Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof immediately following the Closing or, if applicable, the end of the transition period
under the Transition Services Agreement (such applicable date, the “Transfer Date”) is referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee.” Seller shall be responsible for any severance payable to any Business Employee
that is triggered under any employee benefit plan. 
 (b)      Subject to Purchaser’s
rights under Section 11.1(b)(iv), Purchaser hereby releases Seller Group from any claims for Losses relating to Purchaser’s hiring of Business Employees (including Purchaser’s use of Business Employees in making the decision to hire
or not to hire). 
 (c)    Seller shall remain obligated to provide continuation health care coverage
(including the issuance of any required notices), in accordance with Section 4980B of the Code and Sections 601 to 608 of ERISA (“COBRA”), to each Business Employee and his or her qualified dependents and each other
individual who, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, meet the definition of a “M&A qualified beneficiary” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9,
Q&A-4. Purchaser shall have responsibility for any and all obligations under COBRA with respect to Transferred Employees and their qualified dependents who incur qualifying events, in each case, on or
after the Transfer Date. 
 (d)      The provisions of this Section 7.7 are solely for
the benefit of the respective Parties to this Agreement and nothing in this Section 7.7, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person, including any employee (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof), any Third Party beneficiary
rights or other rights or remedies, including any right to continuance of employment or any other service relationship with Purchaser, Seller or any of their Affiliates, or any right to compensation or benefits or any term of condition of employment
or service of any nature or kind 

  
 55 













 
whatsoever under this Agreement or otherwise. Nothing in this Section 7.7, express or implied, shall: (i) interfere with the right of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to
terminate the employment or other service relationship of any Transferred Employee at any time, (ii) obligate Purchaser or its Affiliates to adopt, enter into or maintain any benefit or compensation plan, program or arrangement at any time,
(iii) be construed as the establishment of or an amendment to any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, arrangement or contract, or (iv) limit the ability of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to amend, modify or
terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, arrangement or contract. 

7.8    Recording & Filing. Within thirty
(30) days of Closing, Purchaser shall, at its expense, file or record the conveyance documents with the appropriate governmental agencies or records office. Purchaser shall provide a copy of same, including recording date, to the Seller and any
other contract parties requiring the same. If any governmental agency or records office rejects the filing or recording of any Assignment or Deed due to lack of information therein, then Seller shall promptly provide such missing information to
Purchaser. 
 7.9    Notice to Third Parties. Seller shall prepare prior to
Closing, and Purchaser and Seller shall execute at Closing, all transfer orders, division orders, or letters-in-lieu necessary to transfer payment of the proceeds from
the sale of production from the Assets as of the Effective Date to Purchaser, and joinders, ratifications or other similar instruments required to transfer Assets as of the Effective Date to the Purchaser. 

7.10    Property Records. Promptly after the Closing Date (but in any event within
twenty (20) Business Days after the Closing Date), Seller shall deliver to Purchaser electronic copies of the Basic Documents and Records (subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement) which were not already delivered by Seller. Any
electronic information or data provided shall be in the same format as that then currently used by Seller and Seller is not required to perform or create additional programming or system support in connection therewith. Seller may retain
photocopies, electronic images or other formats of the Basic Documents and Records. Seller may excise or redact Records to remove information that would constitute an Excluded Record. Seller and Purchaser shall each appoint one
(1) focal point for coordination of the transfer of electronic information and data to Purchaser. Promptly after Closing, Seller shall make available to Purchaser originals (or, if neither Seller nor its Affiliates possess originals,
copies to the extent in Seller’s possession) of the Basic Documents and Records at Seller’s offices during normal business hours. 

7.11    Use of Name. On or before ninety (90) days after Closing (or earlier to
the extent required by Laws), Purchaser will remove, or cause to be removed, from the facilities pertaining to the Assets, the name, logo and service mark of Seller and its Affiliates, and all variations and derivations thereof, and will not
thereafter make use thereof. 
 7.12    Seller’s
Insurance. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (a) no insurance policies arranged for the benefit of or provided to the Seller or any member of the Seller Group, including any current insurance policies relating to the business
or assets of the Seller shall continue after Closing, except to the extent required under the Transition Services Agreement, (b) Purchaser shall not, and shall procure that no member of the Purchaser shall, make any claims under any such
insurance policies or insurance coverage in respect of facts, events or circumstances arising prior to the Closing and (c) following Closing, to the extent recoverable under Seller’s insurance, upon


  
 56 













 
Purchaser’s request, Seller shall file (and seek to recover) under its insurance any claims arising out of or resulting from any of the Assumed Obligations with respect to periods prior to
the Closing Date and upon receipt, pay to Purchaser any net proceeds received from such insurance provider. 

7.13    Transition Services. At Closing, the Parties shall enter into a mutually
agreeable transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) pursuant to which Seller will provide gas sales accounting services, information technology services (including the transfer to Purchaser of any FCC licenses)
and such other transition services as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties for a period not to exceed six (6) months following Closing. Seller shall provide such services to Purchaser pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement for a
period of two (2) months following Closing with no fee for such services charged or chargeable to Purchaser, provided that Seller may charge a fee of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000) per month (subject to proportionate
reduction to the extent of any reduced services) for its provision of services under the Transition Services Agreement from and after such initial two (2)-month period until the expiration of the Transition Services Agreement. Prior to Closing, the
Parties shall reasonably and in good faith negotiate the form of Transition Services Agreement. 

7.14    Data Privacy. 

(a)    Each Party acknowledges that it may be required to process Personal Data during the undertaking of
its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it shall comply with the obligations imposed on it by all applicable Data Protection Laws with respect thereto and use commercially reasonable efforts to take commercially reasonable
technical and organizational measures designed to prevent unauthorized or unlawful processing of, accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to Personal Data. 

(b)    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Personal Data made available to any Party or
their representatives hereunder shall be made available on an “as is” basis without any warranties, either express or implied, as to the quality, completeness, accuracy, validity, non-infringement or
utility of such Personal Data. In no event shall the Party providing Personal Data be liable for any actual, incidental, punitive, consequential or other damages arising out of, or resulting from the receiving Party’s or their
representatives’ (i) use of or reliance upon the Personal Data or (ii) disclosure of the Personal Data to a Third Party in breach of this Agreement or any applicable Data Protection Law. The Parties agree that the Party responsible
for a breach of data privacy or a violation of relevant applicable Data Protection Laws will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the non-breaching Party from and against any and all claims, liabilities,
losses, causes of actions, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, those involving theories of negligence or strict liability and including court costs and attorneys’ fees) asserted against, resulting from, imposed upon or incurred
by the non-breaching Party as a result of, or arising out of the breach of data privacy or a violation of relevant applicable Data Protection Laws. 

7.15    Environmental Reporting. For any reporting to a Governmental Authority
related to the Assets that because of the Closing Date and particular Law could involve the potential for combined or split reporting, Purchaser and Seller shall confer at an agreed time prior to Closing in order to resolve any issues related to
such reporting. 
 7.16    Amendment of Schedules. Each Party agrees that, with
respect to the representations and warranties of such Party contained in this Agreement, such Party shall have the 

  
 57 













 
continuing right until Closing to add, supplement or amend the Schedules to its representations and warranties to include any matter arising or occurring after the Execution Date, which, if
existing as of the Execution Date, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Schedule. For all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of indemnification pursuant to Article 11 and for determining whether the
conditions set forth in Section 5.1 have been satisfied, the Schedules to Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to include only that information contained therein on the date of execution of
this Agreement and shall be deemed to exclude all information contained in any addition, supplement or amendment thereto; provided, however, that if (i) any matters disclosed pursuant to any such addition, supplement or amendment would
constitute a breach of any of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 6.1 and Purchaser would have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2(c) as a result of such breach, and
(ii) Purchaser nevertheless elects to proceed with Closing notwithstanding (and with knowledge of) such breach, then the matters disclosed pursuant to such addition, supplement or amendment shall be waived, and Purchaser shall not be entitled
to make a claim with respect thereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise. 

7.17    Gas Sales Contracts and Gas Gathering Agreement. 

(a)    At Closing, Purchaser shall, and Seller shall cause Shell Energy North America (US), L.P.
(“SENA”) to enter into new transaction confirmations substantially similar to the forms attached hereto as Exhibit H to replace the Gas Sales Confirmations. 

(b)    The NAESB Contract (and the corresponding Gas Sales Confirmations) shall be retained by Seller and
deemed an Excluded Asset, and Purchaser shall have no further liability or obligation to Seller with respect thereto.

(c)    After the Execution Date, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a gas
gathering agreement with Delmar Midstream LLC to be entered into effective as of the Closing Date. If such gas gathering agreement is executed on or before Closing, then the Specified Delmar Contracts shall be assigned to Purchaser at Closing
pursuant to the applicable Assignment and shall no longer constitute Excluded Assets. In the event the foregoing agreement is not executed on or before the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into a gas gathering agreement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit I in order to facilitate Seller’s performance of the Delmar Contracts. 

7.18    Financing Statements and Cooperation. 

(a)    Seller acknowledges that Purchaser or its Affiliates may be required to include certain audited
and unaudited financial information relating to the Assets in documents filed by Purchaser or its Affiliates or assignee with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act and Exchange Act, or in other materials (including offering materials for securities
offered and sold as eligible for resale under Rule 144A of the Securities Act), and that such financial statements may be required to be independently audited (together with any supplementary oil and gas information required by ASC 932-235, the
“Requisite Financial Statement Information”). At Purchaser’s request, from and after the Execution Date and for up to three months after Closing, Seller shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, and only to the extent
Purchaser does not already have the necessary information: (i) provide reasonable assistance to Purchaser in response to due diligence requests of potential financing sources of Purchaser and its Affiliates, including attending, and causing
employees of Seller and its Affiliates familiar with the Assets to attend, due diligence meetings (which may be by teleconference) during normal business hours, responding to reasonable due diligence inquiries by potential financing sources of
Purchaser and its Affiliates and assisting in the provision of financial data and other records of the Assets for the preparation of pro forma financial statements of the Purchaser and (ii) provide Purchaser (or its applicable Affiliate or assignee)
and its auditors reasonable access during normal business hours to such records (to the extent that such information is available) and personnel of Seller and its Affiliates and use reasonable efforts to, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense,
provide reasonable access during normal business hours to Seller’s and its Affiliate’s accounting firm, in the case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), as Purchaser (or its applicable Affiliate or assignee) may reasonably request to
enable Purchaser (or its applicable Affiliate or assignee) and its auditor, and its representatives, for the sole purpose of creating and, to the extent required by Law, auditing, the Requisite Financial Statement Information. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 7.18, Seller shall not be required to (and shall not be in breach of this Section 7.18 for failure to) create any new records relating to the Assets or financial statements or undertake an audit of any
existing records on behalf of Purchaser or otherwise. 

  
 58 













 (b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
shall expand Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or give Purchaser, its Affiliates or any third party any rights to which it is not entitled hereunder. Purchaser hereby releases the Seller
Group from, and shall fully protect, defend, indemnify and hold the Seller Group harmless from and against, in each case, any and all Losses (including costs of investigation and attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses) relating to,
arising out of or connected with, directly or indirectly, any actions, representations or certifications of Sellers’ and their Affiliates’ personnel or auditors with respect to the Requisite Financial Information and the access, records
and cooperation provided pursuant to this Section 7.18, or Purchaser’s use of the Requisite Financial Information and any other information contained in such records, or the inclusion of such financial records in any debt or equity offering
documents or related materials. THESE INDEMNITY AND DEFENSE OBLIGATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH LOSSES ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO OR ARISE OUT OF, SOLELY OR IN PART, THE SOLE, ACTIVE, GROSS, PASSIVE, CONCURRENT OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT OR VIOLATION OF LAW OF OR BY ANY MEMBER OF THE SELLER GROUP; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND DEFENSE OBLIGATIONS SHALL NOT APPLY WITH RESPECT TO THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY MEMBER OF THE SELLER GROUP.
Purchaser will reimburse Seller and its Affiliates, within ten Business Days after demand in writing therefor, for any reasonable, documented, third-party out-of-pocket costs incurred by Seller and its Affiliates at the written request of
Purchaser in complying with the provisions of this Section 7.18 
 7.19 Confidentiality. The Parties agree
that the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect at and after the Closing, except with respect to (a) any of Seller’s or its Affiliates’ confidential or proprietary records and information disclosed
to Purchaser or its Affiliates pursuant to Section 7.18 or to Purchaser pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement (but not conveyed to Purchaser hereunder), including bids received from and records of negotiations with third Persons, records
containing Seller’s or its Affiliates’ economic, reserves or investment forecasts, analysis, criteria, or rationales or similar information, but excluding in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, reserve, production and financial
information pertaining to the Assets or the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Assets acquired or to be acquired hereunder, and (b) any documents and instruments of Seller and its Affiliates that may be protected by attorney-client
privilege (clauses (a) and (b) the “Excepted Confidential Information”). If the Closing occurs, the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to the Excepted Confidential Information for a period of three (3) years
thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, Purchaser and any of its Affiliates may, without prior consent of Seller (but, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) of this sentence, with respect to the
Requisite Financial Statement Information, after consultation with Seller beginning at least 24 hours in advance of disclosure), disclose the terms and provisions of this Agreement and any information regarding this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the Assets and any related financial, reserve, production and other information or such other information deemed necessary by Purchaser or its Affiliates) in or in connection with (i) offering
materials for an offering of securities or other financing transaction of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, (ii) pursuant to applicable Laws, including the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and/or (iii) one or more customary investor
presentations or related conference calls by Purchaser or its Affiliates with investors or analysts.

 (B)    the amount equal to the value of all of
Seller’s inventories of Hydrocarbons produced from or attributable to the Properties that are in storage above the load line or pipeline connection, as applicable, as of the Effective Date (which value shall be computed using the applicable
contract price at the Effective Date); provided, however, that the adjustment contemplated by this paragraph shall only be made to the extent that Seller does not receive and retain proceeds attributable to the sale of any such Hydrocarbons;

 (iv)    all Imbalances owed to Seller by a Third Party as set forth on Schedule 6.1(n); 

(v)    the amount of all other upward adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price provided for in this
Agreement or otherwise agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser in writing. 
 (c)    In accordance with
Section 8.1(a), the Unadjusted Purchase Price will be decreased by the following amounts (without duplication): 

(i)    the amount of any Property Expenses that are unpaid as of the Closing Date and attributable to the
Properties for the period of time prior to the Effective Date; 
 (ii)    the amount of all proceeds,
receipts (including producing receipts and drilling receipts), reimbursements, credits, and income paid to or received by Seller, including proceeds from the sale of Hydrocarbons, net of all applicable Asset Taxes, Burdens and other similar burdens
paid by Seller, that are attributable to the Properties for the period of time on or after the Effective Date; 

  
 60 













 (iii)    with respect to Assets excluded from the
transaction due to un-obtained consent requirements or preferential purchase rights pursuant to Section 4.2, the Allocated Value for each such Asset so excluded; 

(iv)    the amount of any Suspense Funds held by Seller and owed to Third Parties for which Purchaser
will assume responsibility; 
 (v)    all Imbalances owed by Seller to a Third Party as set forth on
Schedule 6.1(n); and 
 (vi)    the amount of all other downward adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase
Price provided for in this Agreement or otherwise agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser in writing. 

(d)    No later than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller shall furnish Purchaser with
(i) a good faith estimated accounting (“Preliminary Accounting”), determined on an accrual basis in conjunction with this Section 8.1, prepared in a manner consistent with Seller’s past accounting practices, showing
Seller’s estimate of each adjustment to the Unadjusted Purchase Price (including the Seller Amounts and Purchaser Amounts) through the Closing Date including the calculations thereof and (ii) to the extent reasonably available to Seller,
the data and documentation supporting the calculations set forth in the Preliminary Accounting. Purchaser will have three (3) days after receipt of the Preliminary Accounting to review such statement and to object to any item therein by written
notice to Seller. Purchaser’s notice will clearly identify any item(s) objected to and the reasons and support for the objection(s). The Parties shall attempt to agree on the amount of the adjustments to be included in the Preliminary
Accounting no later than one (1) Business Day prior to Closing. If the Parties do not agree by that date, Seller’s good faith estimates shall be used to determine the adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price. If Purchaser does not
provide written objection(s) within the three (3) day period, the Parties will treat the Preliminary Accounting as correct and agreed for purposes of determining the adjustments to be made at Closing to the Unadjusted Purchase Price. The
Preliminary Accounting is subject to final adjustment as provided in Section 8.2. 

8.2    Final Accounting. 

(a)    Seller and Purchaser shall use all reasonable efforts to accomplish a single final accounting and
cash adjustment for the period between the Effective Date and the Closing no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after Closing to determine the amounts of adjustments to be made to the Unadjusted Purchase Price (“Final
Accounting”). Parties shall cooperate to avoid split month accounting for revenue. To that end, in the event Closing does not occur on the first (1st) day of a calendar month, Seller will market Hydrocarbon production, pay associated
Burdens for the calendar month in which Closing occurs on Purchaser’s behalf, and Seller’s remittance of the amount of production sales, less Burdens, paid by Seller to Purchaser will be included in the Final Accounting adjustments (but
only to the extent not already accounted for in the adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price made at Closing and set forth in the Preliminary Accounting). Seller shall prepare the Final Accounting and submit it to Purchaser for acceptance. To
the extent reasonably required by Seller, Purchaser shall assist in the preparation of the Final Accounting. Purchaser shall have the right to audit the Final Accounting. The Parties’ failure to complete the Final Accounting shall not
constitute a waiver of the right to receive any amount 

  
 61 













 
otherwise due. The Final Accounting shall become final and binding upon the Parties and payable thirty (30) days after receipt thereof by Purchaser (the “Final Accounting
Date”) unless Purchaser gives written notice of its disagreement (an “Accounting Notice”) to Seller prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. Time is of the essence with respect to the Accounting Notice.
Any Accounting Notice shall specify the dollar amount, nature and basis of the disagreement so asserted. Purchaser shall not be entitled to dispute any expenditure made by Seller in accordance with Seller’s past and bona fide practices, but
only to the extent any such expenditure is not made in violation of Section 7.3. If an Accounting Notice is received by Seller in a timely manner, then the Final Accounting (as revised in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) below) shall
become final and binding on the Parties and any amounts due shall be payable by the earlier of thirty (30) days after (i) the date Seller and Purchaser agree in writing with respect to all matters as to which there is a disagreement or
(ii) the date on which the Accounting Referee issues its decision. 
 (b)    During the thirty
(30) day period following the date of receipt by Seller of an Accounting Notice, Seller shall make available the records relevant to the disagreement and Seller and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve in writing any differences
that they may have with respect to all matters specified in the Accounting Notice. If, at the end of such thirty (30) day period, Seller and Purchaser have not reached agreement on such matters, the matters that remain in dispute shall be
submitted to a mutually agreed neutral accountant (the “Accounting Referee”) for review and final binding resolution. The Accounting Referee shall be a certified public accountant who is an employee or partner of a recognized
independent public accounting firm. In the event the Parties cannot agree upon the Accounting Referee, each Party will appoint a neutral accountant who meets the criteria set forth in the foregoing sentence and the two (2) selected accountants
shall appoint a third accountant meeting the foregoing criteria to be the “Accounting Referee.” All determinations and adjustments with respect to allocating items to the period before or after the Effective Date shall be in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and this Agreement. The Accounting Referee shall render a decision resolving the matters in dispute within fifteen (15) days following their submission to the Accounting
Referee. Seller and Purchaser shall each be responsible for one-half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee. In the event the disagreement relates to a contract interpretation matter as
opposed to an accounting matter, such matter shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of Article 16 and not this Article 8. 

(c)    If, prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, a Party receives any
revenues, proceeds or invoice for any additional expenses for or on behalf of the other Party, it shall promptly remit to the other Party the revenues or proceeds received (to the extent such amounts had not been previously accounted for in the
Final Accounting) or transmit such invoice to the other Party (who shall timely pay such invoice). No claim made pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) shall be valid unless it is brought prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date. 

8.3    Notice to Remitters of Proceeds. 

After the Closing, the Parties shall inform the remitters of any revenues or proceeds attributable to the Assets to pay
Purchaser to the extent practical after the Effective Date. To the extent that any remitter pays revenues or proceeds to the incorrect Party, that Party shall promptly remit such revenues or proceeds (without interest) to the correct Party. 

  
 62 













 8.4    Accounting Standards. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the amount of each adjustment to the Unadjusted Purchase
Price pursuant to this Article 8 shall be determined in accordance with accrual basis of accounting under the accounting standards of GAAP. 

ARTICLE 9 
 TAX MATTERS

 9.1    Apportionment of Taxes. 

(a)    All Taxes (except Transfer Taxes allocated pursuant to Section 9.2 and federal, state, or
local income taxes, gross margin taxes, franchise taxes or gross receipts taxes) attributable to the acquisition, operation, or ownership of the Assets or Hydrocarbon production from the Assets and similar obligations (“Asset
Taxes”) are Seller’s responsibility where attributable to the period prior to the Effective Date and Purchaser’s responsibility where attributable to the period after the Effective Date (in each case, regardless of when assessed
on the Assets or Hydrocarbon production). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Pennsylvania Impact Fee, Seller is responsible for such impact fees assessed on the Assets for calendar years up to and including calendar year 2019 and
Purchaser is responsible for such impact fees assessed on the Assets from calendar year 2020 and subsequent calendar years thereafter. 

(b)    To the extent possible, amounts relating to such Taxes shall be included in the Final Accounting,
but the Final Accounting shall not constitute a final settlement of Tax liability as allocated between the Parties pursuant to this Section 9.1. To the extent the actual amount of an Asset Tax is not known at the time of the Final Accounting,
the Parties shall utilize the most recent information available in estimating the amount of such Asset Tax for purposes of such adjustment. To the extent the actual amount of any Asset Tax (or the amount thereof paid or otherwise economically borne
by a Party) is ultimately determined to be different than the amount (if any) that was taken into account in the Final Accounting, timely payments will be made from one Party to the other to the extent necessary to cause each Party to bear the
amount of such Asset Tax that is allocable to such Party under this Section 9.1. 
 (c)    For
purposes of determining the allocations in Section 9.1(a), (i) Asset Taxes attributable to Hydrocarbon severance or production (other than Asset Taxes described in clause (iii)) shall be apportioned based on whether the severance or
production occurs before or after the Effective Date, (ii) Asset Taxes that are based on or related to sales or receipts or imposed on a transactional basis (other than such Asset Taxes described in clause (i) or (iii)) shall be
apportioned based on whether the transactions giving rise to such Asset Taxes occur before or after the Effective Date, and (iii) Asset Taxes that are ad valorem, property, and similar taxes imposed on a periodic basis shall be apportioned
based on the percentage of the assessment period before and after the Effective Date. For purposes of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit, or other item that is calculated on a periodic basis shall be allocated pro rata per day
between the portion of the assessment period ending before the Effective Date and the portion of the assessment period beginning after the Effective Date. Each Party shall be responsible for its own federal, state, or local income taxes, gross
margin taxes, franchise taxes or gross receipts taxes. 

  
 63 













 9.2    Transfer Taxes and Other
Fees. 
 Purchaser shall be responsible for paying all sales, use, excise, stock, stamp, documentary, filing,
recording, permit transfer, registration, authorization, realty transfer taxes and similar taxes, fees and charges (“Transfer Taxes”), if any, that are payable upon or because of the transfer of any of the Assets to Purchaser. The
Parties shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible by Law, the amount of any Transfer Taxes. 

9.3    Tax Reporting of the Allocation of Purchase Price. 

(a)    Seller and Purchaser agree to allocate the Unadjusted Purchase Price and any liabilities assumed
by Purchaser under this Agreement such that no more than forty-six percent (46%) of the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be allocated to tangible property and no less than fifty-four percent (54%) shall be
allocated to the Mineral Interests. Seller and Purchaser each agree that the Assets subject to this Agreement do not constitute an “applicable asset acquisition” as described under Code Section 1060, and do not constitute a trade or
business in the ordinary sense of the term. Seller and Purchaser each agree to report the Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated herein, and in particular to report the information consistent with the terms of this Agreement and shall not
take any position inconsistent therewith upon examination of any Tax Return, in any refund claim, in any litigation, investigation or otherwise unless required to do so by applicable Law after notice to the other Party, or with such other
Party’s prior consent; provided, however, no Party shall be unreasonably impeded in its ability and discretion to negotiate, compromise, compromise, or settle any Tax audit, claim, or similar proceeding in connection with the Tax
consequences of the transaction contemplated herein. 
 9.4    Cooperation on Tax Returns
and Tax Proceedings. 
 Purchaser and Seller will cooperate fully as and to the extent reasonably requested by the
other Party, in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to the Assets and any audit, litigation or other proceedings. 

ARTICLE 10

obligations relate or are attributable to the ownership or operation of the Properties prior to or after the Effective Date, and including, but not limited to, the obligation to: 

(i)    plug and abandon (or re-plug) any and all oil, gas or
condensate wells and wellbore(s) (whether producing, not producing or abandoned or plugged prior 

  
 65 













 
to or after the Effective Date), water source, water injection and other injection and disposal wells and systems located on each Mineral Interest (or lands pooled with a Mineral Interest); 

(ii)    remove and dispose of all structures, equipment and facilities located on or comprising Assets;

 (iii)    restore each Mineral Interest and wellsite(s) associated with the Oil and Gas Interests,
including the surface and subsurface; 
 (iv)    cleanup and dispose of any equipment or materials
contaminated with NORM or asbestos; and 
 (v)    perform all other obligations related to the
foregoing that arise by contract, lease terms, applicable Law or demands of governmental agencies; 
 all to be performed in
a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all lease and contract obligations and applicable Law. 

10.3    Environmental Obligations. 

Subject to Purchaser’s rights under Section 3.2 and Article 11 and, except to the extent constituting Retained
Obligations, from and after Closing, the Assumed Obligations include the assumption by Purchaser of full responsibility and liability for all liabilities and obligations arising out of, related to, or connected with, the environmental condition of
the Assets (“Environmental Obligations”), including without limitation, claims arising out of the following circumstances, conditions, occurrences, events and activities on or related to the Assets, regardless of whether occurring,
or arising or resulting from any acts or omissions of Seller or any other Person prior to or after the Effective Date or the condition of the Assets when acquired: 

(a)    Environmental pollution or contamination, including pollution or contamination of the soil,

 ARTICLE 11 

INDEMNIFICATION 

11.1    Indemnification. 

(a)    From and after Closing, Purchaser shall, except to the extent that a claim or matter is
indemnified by Seller pursuant to Section 11.1(b), indemnify, defend, release and hold harmless each Seller and each member of Seller Group from and against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, Taxes, causes of actions, costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, those involving theories of negligence or strict liability and including court costs and attorneys’ fees) (“Losses”) asserted against, resulting from, imposed upon or incurred by

Sections 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3; 
 (v)    any obligations for a brokerage or finder’s fee or

(vii)    Purchaser’s ownership or operation of any portion of the Assets that may be re-conveyed or reassigned to Seller pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent attributable to the period of time such portion of Assets was owned or operated by Purchaser; and

OF INDEMNIFICATION. WITHOUT LIMITING OR ENLARGING THE SCOPE OF THE INDEMNIFICATION, DEFENSE AND ASSUMPTION PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION
HEREUNDER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SECTIONS 11.1(a) OR 11.1(b), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE ACT, OCCURRENCE OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO ANY SUCH INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION IS THE RESULT OF THE SOLE, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, CONCURRENT OR COMPARATIVE
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF DUTY (STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE), OR OTHER FAULT OR VIOLATION OF ANY LAW OF OR BY ANY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON, PROVIDED THAT NO SUCH INDEMNIFICATION SHALL BE APPLICABLE TO THE EXTENT OF ANY FRAUD, GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE INDEMNIFIED PERSON. 
 (d)    Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the liability of Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement and any documents delivered in connection herewith or contemplated hereby shall be limited as follows: 

  
 68 













 (i)    Except for the Fundamental Representations,
which survive indefinitely, and the representations in Section 6.1(h), which survive thirty (30) days after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, the representations and warranties of the Parties and NFGC set forth in this
Agreement shall survive the Closing Date for a period of twelve (12) months and all representations and warranties of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; provided, however,
that any such representation or warranty for which a written notice of claim specifying in reasonable detail the specific nature of the Losses and the estimated amount of such Losses (“Claim Notice”) delivered in good faith in
compliance with the requirements of this Section 11.1(d) shall survive with respect only to the specific matter described in such Claim Notice until the earlier to occur of (A) the date on which a final
non-appealable resolution of the matter described in such Claim Notice has been reached or (B) the date on which the matter described in such Claim Notice has otherwise reached final resolution. The
indemnities in Section 11.1(b)(iv) (except those indemnities for the matters described in clauses (i), (ii), (vii), (ix) or (xi) of the definition of “Retained Obligations”) shall survive the Closing Date for a period of four
(4) years. The indemnities in Section 11.1(b)(iv) for the matters described in clauses (i), (ii), (vii), (ix) or (xi) in the definition of “Retained Obligations” shall survive the Closing Date indefinitely. 

(ii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall: 

A.    SELLER OR PURCHASER BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL
DAMAGES (EXCEPT WHERE SUCH DAMAGES CONSTITUTE PART OF A CLAIM OF A THIRD PARTY WHICH IS INDEMNIFIED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT); 

B.    Seller indemnify Purchaser, or be otherwise liable to Purchaser, for any Losses arising from a
breach of a representation or warranty of Seller that is not a Fundamental Representation or the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.1(h)(i)-(vi) (A) for any individual claim for Loss that does not exceed Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (the “Individual Threshold”), and (B) until Purchaser has suffered Losses (in excess of the Individual Threshold) in the aggregate in excess of the Aggregate Indemnity Deductible,
after which point Seller will be obligated only to indemnify Purchaser from and against further Losses in excess of the Individual Threshold and in excess of the Aggregate Indemnity Deductible; and 

C.    Seller indemnify Purchaser under (A) Sections 11.1(b)(i) with respect to Seller’s non-Fundamental Representations (excluding the representations and warranties contained in Sections 6.1(h)(i)-(vi)) in excess of ten percent (10%) of the Unadjusted Purchase Price or (B) Section 11.1(b)(i) with
respect to Seller’s Fundamental Representations, the representations and warranties contained in Sections 6.1(h)(i)-(vi) and Sections 11.1(b)(ii)-(vi) in excess of the Unadjusted Purchase Price. 

(i)    The amount of any indemnification provided under Section 11.1(a) or (b) shall be net of
any amounts of insurance proceeds or other amounts from any Third Party actually recovered or realized by the Indemnified Party in respect of the indemnification claim to which such insurance proceeds or other amounts relate. 

  
 69 













 (ii)    Notwithstanding anything stated herein to the
contrary, neither Party will have any liability to the other Party or such other Party’s indemnified parties under this Section 11 with respect to any item for which a specific adjustment has already been made to the Unadjusted Purchase
Price under the terms of this Agreement. 
 (iii)    Each person entitled to indemnification hereunder
or otherwise to damages in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate all losses, costs, expenses and damages after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to
give rise to any losses, costs, expenses and damages that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith. 

(e)    All claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be asserted and resolved pursuant to
this Section 11.1(e). Any Person claiming indemnification hereunder is hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and any Person against whom such claims are asserted hereunder is hereinafter referred to as the
“Indemnifying Party.” In the event that any Losses are asserted against or sought to be collected from an Indemnified Party by a Third Party, said Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness provide to the Indemnifying Party a Claim
Notice. The Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to any such Losses if the Indemnified Party fails to notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement in
reasonably sufficient time so that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against the Losses is not materially prejudiced. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the personal delivery or receipt of the Claim Notice
(the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party (i) whether or not it disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such Losses and/or (ii) whether or not it
desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Losses; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party is hereby authorized prior to and during the Notice 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). In the event that the
Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Losses, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend all appropriate proceedings with counsel of its own
choosing, which proceedings shall be promptly settled or prosecuted by them to a final conclusion. If the Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement it may do so at its sole cost and expense. If
requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Losses that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party
shall not be required to bring, or cooperate with, any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Losses or any cross-complaint against any Person. No claim may be settled or otherwise compromised without the prior written consent of
the Indemnifying Party and no claim may be settled or compromised by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such settlement or compromise entails a full
and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party without any admission or finding of fault or liability. 

(f)    Any payments made to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 11.1 shall be treated as
an adjustment to the Unadjusted Purchase Price for the Assets for federal, and applicable state and local, income tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law. 

  
 70 













 11.2    Exclusive Remedy. 

If Closing occurs, except with respect to the special warranty of title contained in the Assignments and the Deed, the
indemnities set forth in this Agreement and the remedies expressly provided for herein shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties indemnified hereunder for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement;
provided, however, nothing in this Section 11.2 shall be deemed to affect any Person’s right to equitable relief (including specific performance in a court of law) for breach of a covenant set forth in this Agreement (whether or not
such covenant is set forth in Article 7). Except for such remedies, Purchaser releases and forever discharges Seller and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, members, employees, agents, advisors and representatives from
any and all Losses whatsoever, in law or in equity, known or unknown, which such parties might now or subsequently may have, based on, relating to or arising from this Agreement, Seller’s ownership, use or operation of the Properties, or the
condition, quality, status or nature of the Properties, including rights to contribution under CERCLA or any other Environmental Law, breaches of statutory or implied warranties, nuisance or other tort actions, rights to punitive damages and common
law rights of contribution, rights under agreements between Seller or any of its Affiliates, and rights under insurance maintained by Seller or any of its Affiliates, EVEN IF CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT OR
CONCURRENT, BUT EXCLUDING THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT), OF ANY RELEASED PERSON. 
 Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, from and after Closing, each of Seneca and NFG Midstream shall be severally, and not jointly, liable with respect to each representation, warranty, indemnification obligation with respect thereto and Assumed
Obligation contained herein, such that (a) NFG Midstream shall be severally liable for (i) the representations and warranties made by NFG Midstream, (ii) the covenants of Purchaser and Assumed Obligations related to the Midstream
Assets, and (iii) the indemnification obligations of Purchaser with respect to such matters, and (b) Seneca shall be severally liable for (i) the representations and warranties made by Seneca, (ii) the covenants of Purchaser and
Assumed Obligations related to the Assets (other than the Midstream Assets), and (iii) the indemnification obligations of Purchaser with respect to such matters; provided, however, that where Purchaser has a right or obligation (other
than an indemnity obligation) under this Agreement, each of Seneca and NFG Midstream shall exercise such right or discharge such obligation acting jointly. 

11.3    Midstream Parent Guarantee. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any limitations on Purchaser’s liability described in Article 11), from and after the Closing Date, Midstream Parent shall absolutely and unconditionally guarantee any and all indemnification
obligations of NFG Midstream arising under this Agreement (the “Guaranteed Obligations”), such that if NFG Midstream defaults in the full or partial performance of any Guaranteed Obligation, Midstream Parent shall perform or cause
to be performed such Guaranteed Obligations promptly following written notice of such NFG Midstream default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Midstream Parent reserves unto itself the right to assert any and all claims, counterclaims, defenses,
setoffs, and other rights that NFG Midstream is entitled to 

  
 71 













 
assert on its own account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations. 

ARTICLE 12 
 CASUALTY
LOSS 
 12.1    Casualty Loss prior to Closing 

(i)    If, between the Execution Date and the Closing, any substantial portion of the Assets are
materially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (not including normal wear and tear, downhole mechanical failure or reservoir changes) or if any substantial portion of the Assets are taken by condemnation or under the right of eminent
domain (all of which are herein called “Casualty Loss” and are limited to property damage or taking only), Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly after Seller learns of such event. Seller shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to cure a Casualty Loss that consists of property damage by repairing the affected Asset to the state existing immediately preceding such Casualty Loss no later than the Closing Date. 

(ii)    If any uncured Casualty Loss exists at the Closing, and the loss as a result of such Casualty
Loss exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), the Asset affected by such Casualty Loss shall be conveyed to Purchaser at Closing and Seller shall elect by written notice to Purchaser prior to Closing either (i) to cause the Unadjusted
Purchase Price to be reduced at Closing by an amount equal to the loss resulting from such Casualty Loss, (ii) pay to Purchaser all sums paid to Seller by Third Parties by reason of the damage or taking of such Asset, and to the extent Seller
is not contractually prohibited from doing so, Seller shall assign, transfer and set over unto Purchaser all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to any insurance, claims, unpaid proceeds or other payments or rights to receive payments
from Third Parties arising out of such damage or taking or (iii) cure the Casualty Loss. EACH SELLER DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE EXISTENCE OF INSURANCE COVERING CASUALTY LOSS TO THE ASSETS, AND DISCLAIMS ANY
OBLIGATION, COVENANT OR DUTY TO PURCHASER TO ASSERT OR PURSUE ANY CLAIM AGAINST ANY INSURER OR OTHER PERSON FOR CASUALTY LOSS TO THE ASSETS. 

12.2    Limitation. Subject to Section 5.1.1(d) and Section 12.1(ii) and
notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser’s recourse with respect to any Casualty Loss shall be limited to an adjustment to the Unadjusted Purchase Price as set forth in Section 12.1(i), a cure by Seller
as set forth in Section 12.1(ii), or the proceeds of Seller’s casualty insurance coverage actually recovered by Seller in respect thereof or other sums paid to Seller by Third Parties (or an assignment of claims related thereto),
payable to Purchaser only upon or after the Closing of the transactions contemplated herein. Seller shall have no other liability or responsibility to Purchaser with respect to a Casualty Loss, even if such Casualty Loss shall have resulted from
or 

  
 72 













 
shall have arisen out of the sole or concurrent negligence, fault, or breach of statute (but excluding gross negligence or willful misconduct) of Seller or any member of Seller Group. 

ARTICLE 13 
 TERMINATION

 13.1    Termination. 

This Agreement may be terminated at any time after the later of (i) August 31, 2020 and (ii) if the
Parties pursue expedited arbitration in accordance with Section 5.1.1(d) and 5.1.2(d), five (5) Business Days following the arbitrator’s final decision pursuant to such expedited arbitration (the “Outside Date”), by
Seller or Purchaser by written notice to the other Party if the Closing has not occurred on or before such date. This Agreement may otherwise be terminated at any time after the Execution Date and before the Closing Date only: 

(a)    by the mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser; 

(b)    by Seller, or by Purchaser, by written notice to the other Party, if a Governmental Authority
shall have issued an injunction, order or award or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such injunction, order, award or other
action shall have become final and non-appealable; 
 (c)    by
Purchaser if there has been a material breach of any of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants set forth in this Agreement by Seller that (i) has resulted in the failure to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in
Section 5.1.1, (ii) has not been waived by Purchaser, and (iii) is not capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date or is not cured by the earlier of (A) ten (10) days following Purchaser’s written notice to Seller of
such breach and (B) the Outside Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 13.1(c) shall not be available to Purchaser if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or
other agreement contained herein; 
 (d)    by Seller if there has been a material breach of any of the
representations, warranties, agreements or covenants set forth in this Agreement by Purchaser that (i) has resulted in the failure to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1.2, (ii) has not been waived by Seller, and
(iii) is not capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date or is not cured by the earlier of (A) ten (10) days following Seller’s written notice to Purchaser of such breach and (B) the Outside Date; provided that the
right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 13.1(d) shall not be available to Seller if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained herein; or 

(e)    by either Seller or Purchaser if, under the HSR Act or otherwise, the Federal Trade Commission
(the “FTC”) or the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) shall have commenced or threatened to commence any proceeding to delay or enjoin or seek damages in respect of the transactions evidenced by this Agreement
(“threatened,” for purposes of this Section 13.1(e), means an actual vote of the Commissioners of the Federal Trade Commission to commence such a proceeding). For purposes of clarity, issuance of a second request by either the FTC or
the DOJ shall 

  
 73 













 
not constitute a proceeding to delay or enjoin or seek damages in respect of the transactions evidenced by this Agreement. 

13.2    Effect of Termination. 

(a)    If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 13.1, this Agreement shall become void
and of no further force and effect (except for the provisions of Article 1, Section 7.4, Article 13, Article 14 and all other waivers, disclaimers and releases that are in bold and/or that are capitalized in this Agreement, Section 15.1,
Section 15.2, Section 15.5, Section 15.6, Section 15.8, Section 15.9, Section 15.10 and its subsections, Section 15.11, Section 15.15, Section 15.16, Article 16, and the Confidentiality Agreement). 

(b)    If Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1(d), Seller shall be entitled to
receive the Performance Deposit as liquidated damages in lieu of all other damages and as the Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in such event, other than termination of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that if Seller
is entitled to receive the Performance Deposit pursuant to this Section 13.2(b), then (i) Seller’s actual damages are difficult to ascertain with any certainty, (ii) the Performance Deposit is a fair and reasonable estimate by
the Parties of such actual damages of Seller and (iii) such liquidated damages do not constitute a penalty. 

(c)    (i) If Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1(c), then Seller shall
return the Performance Deposit to Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days after the determination that the Closing will not occur and Purchaser shall retain any legal or equitable remedies for Seller’s breach of this Agreement subject to
the limitations set forth below; provided, however, that Seller shall not have any liability to Purchaser for monetary damages in excess of an amount equal to the Performance Deposit; and (ii) if Purchaser has the right to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1(c), then, in lieu of termination, Purchaser may seek specific performance to enforce Seller’s compliance with this Agreement and during such time that Purchaser is seeking specific performance in lieu of
termination, Seller shall not be obligated to return the Performance Deposit. Seller agrees to, and does hereby, waive any requirement for the posting of a bond in connection with any equitable relief hereunder in favor of Purchaser. If specific
performance is not granted, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement pursuant to, and pursue its rights set forth in, clause (i) above. 

(d)    If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than as set forth in Section 13.2(b) or
Section 13.2(c), then the Parties, Midstream Parent and NFGC shall have no liability or obligation hereunder as a result of such termination, and Seller shall return the Performance Deposit to Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days
following the date that this Agreement is terminated. 
 (e)    If this Agreement is terminated,
Purchaser shall return or destroy (whichever is required pursuant to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement) to Seller on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day thereafter all copies of the Records and other information in the possession of
Purchaser or obtained or generated by Purchaser pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement any provision of this Agreement and such Records and information shall remain subject to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

Each Party may elect to exercise or not exercise the indemnification and defense rights under this Agreement on behalf of its
respective Indemnified Parties listed in Section 11.1(a) or 11.1(b), as applicable, and the indemnity, release and waiver provisions in this Agreement in favor of the Seller Group, and no member of any such group shall have any rights under

Except as provided in Section 2.6 or as expressly set forth below, neither Party shall assign this Agreement or any of
its rights or obligations under this Agreement prior to Closing without obtaining the prior written consent of the other Party, and any purported assignment by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party shall be void;

The Parties agree that prior to any Party making any public announcement or statement with respect to the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement, such Party shall obtain the written approval of the other Parties to the text of such announcement or statement, which approval may be withheld for any reason. Nothing contained in this Section 15.6 shall be
construed to require either Party to obtain approval of the other Party to disclose information with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement to any Governmental Authority and/or the public to the extent required by applicable Law
or stock exchange regulation; provided that a Party required to make such a disclosure shall consult with the other Party prior to making such disclosure. 

15.7    Time Limits; Waiver. 

Subject to Section 15.11, time is of the essence in this Agreement and all time limits shall be strictly construed and
enforced. Subject to the foregoing, however, the failure or delay of any Party 

  
 80 













 
in the enforcement of the rights granted under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of said rights nor shall it be considered as a basis for estoppel. Except as otherwise limited by the
time limits contained in this Agreement, such Party may exercise its rights under this Agreement despite any delay or failure to enforce the rights when the right or obligation arose. 

15.8    Applicable Law. 

The provisions of this Agreement and the relationship of the Parties shall be governed and interpreted according to the Laws
of the State of Texas without giving effect to principles of conflicts of Laws, except as to (i) title issues, which shall be governed by the Laws of the state where the relevant Asset is located and (ii) any matter related solely to the
issuance of the Stock Consideration, if any, which shall be governed by the Laws of the State of New Jersey without giving effect to principles of conflicts of Laws. 

15.9    Severance of Invalid Provisions. 

In case of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any applicable Law, the provisions of Law
shall govern over the provisions of this Agreement. If, for any reason and for so long as, any clause or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, unenforceable or unconscionable under any
present or future Law (or interpretation thereof), the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected by such illegality or invalidity. Any such invalid provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement as if this Agreement had been executed
with the invalid provision eliminated. 

15.10    Construction & Interpretation. 

The interpretation and construction of the terms of this Agreement will be governed by the following conventions: 

15.10.1     Headings for Convenience. 

Except for the definition headings, all the table of contents, captions, numbering sequences and paragraph headings in this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of this Agreement or any part thereof, nor have any legal effect. 

15.10.2     Gender & Number. 

The use of pronouns in whatever gender or number shall be deemed to be a proper reference to the Parties to this Agreement
though the Parties may be individuals, business entities or groups thereof. Any necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions of this Agreement refer to the correct gender or number shall in all instances be assumed as though each
case was fully expressed. 
 15.10.3     Independent Representation. 

Each Party has had the benefit of independent legal representation with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and
has had the opportunity to exercise business discretion in relation to 

  
 81 













 
the negotiation of the details of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement is the result of arms’ length negotiations from equal bargaining positions. This Agreement shall be
construed fairly and reasonably and not more strictly against one Party than another, on the basis of who drafted this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

15.10.4         Section References. 

Unless otherwise stated, references in this Agreement to articles, sections or subsections are references to the articles,
sections or subsections of this Agreement.

This Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules attached and incorporated herein, the Confidentiality Agreement, and the
instruments delivered at or in connection with the Closing hereunder contain the final and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this contract. There are no representations, warranties or promises, oral or written,
between the Parties other than those included in this Agreement or in any such Closing document. Upon execution of this Agreement by all Parties and absent Fraud, this Agreement shall supersede and replace all previous negotiations, understandings
or promises, whether written or oral, relative to the subject of this Agreement. Absent Fraud, each of the Parties acknowledges that no other Party has made any promise, representation or warranty that is not expressly stated in this Agreement or in
any Closing document. This Agreement shall not be modified or changed (nor any provision of this Agreement waived) except by a written amendment signed by all the Parties. This Agreement is entire as to all the performances to be rendered under it,
and breach of any provision shall constitute a breach of the entire Agreement. A waiver of any breach or failure to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not in any way affect, limit or waive a Party’s rights under this
Agreement at any time to enforce strict compliance thereafter with any other term or condition of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event that Closing occurs, the Confidentiality Agreement shall be terminated in its
entirety effective as of the Closing Date, except as to the Excluded Assets. 

15.13    Binding Effect. 

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. 

15.14    Multiple Counterparts. 

This Agreement may be executed by signing the original or a counterpart hereof. If this Agreement is executed in multiple
counterparts, each counterpart shall be deemed an original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement with the same effect as if all Parties had signed the same instrument.

 ARTICLE 16 

DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

16.1    Dispute Resolution. 

In the event that any Arbitrable Dispute arises, the Parties shall first seek to resolve such dispute by negotiations as
provided in this Article 16 between senior representatives who have authority to settle the controversy. “Arbitrable Dispute” means (except for: (a) disputes involving Environmental Defects or any cure relating thereto, which
will be resolved as provided in Section 3.2(g), or (b) any matters to be resolved by the Accounting Referee as provided in Section 8.2(b)), any and all disputes, claims, counterclaims, demands, causes of action,
controversies and other matters in question arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any alleged breach hereof, including any disputes regarding a Party’s indemnification obligations
pursuant to Article 11 or relating to matters that are the subject of this Agreement or the relationship between the Parties under this Agreement, regardless of whether (i) extra-contractual in nature, (ii) sounding in
contract, tort or otherwise, (iii) provided for by Law or otherwise, or (iv) any such matters could result in damages or any other relief, whether at Law, in equity or otherwise; but the term “Arbitrable
Dispute” does not include any claim for injunctive relief. Any claim for injunctive relief can only be sought through a court of competent jurisdiction. The sole and exclusive venue and forum for any action for injunctive relief brought in
connection with this Agreement is any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in Harris County, Texas. 

(a)    Notification. When an Arbitrable Dispute exists, each Party has the right to give the other
Party written notice of the Arbitrable Dispute. 
 (b)    Meeting Between Senior
Representatives. Senior representatives of the Parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place within fifteen (15) days after a Party’s receipt of the notice of the Arbitrable Dispute in order to exchange relevant
information and to attempt to resolve the matter. If a senior representative intends to be accompanied to a meeting by an attorney, he or she shall give the other Party’s senior representatives at least three (3) Business Days’ notice
of such intention so that he or she also can be accompanied by an attorney. If a Party’s senior representative does not meet with the other Party’s senior representative within such fifteen (15) day period, the other Party may, at
such Party’s sole option, proceed directly to arbitration under Section 16.2. 

(c)    Confidentiality. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written,
made in the course of meetings between senior representatives, by any of the Parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys and by any CPR employees, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose including impeachment, in
any 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 meetings between senior representatives. 
 16.2    Arbitration. 

Any Arbitrable Dispute not resolved by agreement of the Parties pursuant to Section 16.1 shall be resolved exclusively
through final and binding arbitration using three (3) arbitrators applying by reference the arbitration rules of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & 

  
 84 













 
Resolution (“CPR”) Non-Administered Arbitration Rules, as supplemented by the CPR Protocol on Disclosure of Documents and Presentation of
Witnesses in Commercial Arbitration (“CPR Protocol”), as currently in effect on the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the
Rules, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. 
 (a)    Arbitration must be initiated within
the applicable time limits set forth in this Agreement and not thereafter or if no time limit is given in this Agreement, within the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations; provided, however, that if a Party files a
notice of Arbitrable Dispute within the applicable time limits or limitations period but such Arbitrable Dispute is not resolved before the expiration of the applicable time limits or limitations period, the time period for initiating arbitration
for that specific Arbitrable Dispute shall be extended for ninety (90) calendar days. Arbitration, if initiated, must be initiated by a Party (“Claimant”) sending written notice on the other Party (“Respondent”) that
the Claimant elects to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration. 
 (b)    Within ten
(10) Business Days of written notice electing to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration the Seller shall appoint one (1) arbitrator and the Purchaser shall appoint one (1) arbitrator. The two (2) arbitrators so
appointed shall select the third arbitrator, and failing agreement on selection of the third arbitrator by the two (2) arbitrators within thirty (30) days after their appointment, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the CPR in
accordance with the Rules. Each appointer of the first two (2) arbitrators shall pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator it appoints. The Seller shall pay one-half (1/2) of the compensation
and expenses of the third arbitrator and the Purchaser shall pay the other half. All arbitrators must (i) be neutral persons who have never been officers, directors, employees, or consultants or had other business or personal relationships
(except acting as arbitrator) with the Parties or any of their Affiliates, officers, directors or employees and (ii) have experience in or be knowledgeable about the matters in dispute. The location of all arbitration proceedings shall be
Houston, Texas. 
 (c)    The Parties and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently so that the award
can be made as promptly as possible. If the amount in controversy is less than or equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), the hearing shall commence within forty-five (45) Business Days after the selection of the third arbitrator. If the
amount in controversy exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), the hearing shall commence at such time as agreed by the Parties and the arbitrators but no later than three (3) months after the selection of the third arbitrator. Expedited
discovery will be permitted if and as agreed by the Parties. If the Parties are unable to agree, the arbitrators shall resolve any discovery disputes consistent with the Rules. The arbitrators shall render an award in writing, setting forth the
reasons supporting their decision, within thirty (30) days after the close of proceedings. 

(d)    Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators shall be
binding on and non-appealable by the Parties. In rendering any decision or award, the arbitrators must abide by all terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

(e)    The Parties shall each bear their own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred
in arbitrating any Arbitrable Dispute, although the arbitrator may permit the prevailing Party to recover attorneys’ fees and costs to the extent permitted by applicable Law. 

  
 85 













 16.3    Expedited Dispute Resolution for Purposes
of Section 5.1.1(d) and 5.1.2(d). 
 (a)    In order for Purchaser to assert that the
condition in 5.1.1(d) has not been satisfied, Purchaser shall deliver notice thereof to Seller on or before the Defect Claim Date. Such notice (the “Purchaser’s 5.1.1(d) Notice”) shall include:
(i) with respect to the asserted Environmental Defects, a written description meeting the requirements of Section 3.2(a), together with all supporting documentation (which shall be due on the Defect Claim Date in order to validly assert
that the 5.1.1(d) condition has not been satisfied), (ii) Purchaser’s estimate of all losses associated with uncured Casualty Losses, together with all supporting documentation (provided, that Purchaser may update its Purchaser’s
5.1.1(d) Notice at any time prior to Closing for any Casualty Loss occurring after the Defect Claim Date), and (iii) the Allocated Values of the Assets withheld from Closing pursuant to Section 4.2. In the event the Parties do not agree
whether the condition in Section 5.1.1(d) has been satisfied, Closing shall be extended until the relevant arbitrator or arbitrators (each, a “5.1.1(d) Arbitrator”) has determined whether or not such condition has been
satisfied using the following procedure: Seller shall provide to the 5.1.1(d) Arbitrator and Purchaser a written response setting forth Seller’s position with respect to the matters described in Purchaser’s 5.1.1(d) Notice together with
all supporting documentation within twelve (12) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s 5.1.1(d) Notice. Seller shall also include with its submission to the 5.1.1(d) Arbitrator a copy of Purchaser’s 5.1.1(d) Notice. The 5.1.1(d)
Arbitrator shall make its determination in accordance with Section 3.2(g)(v), mutatis mutandis, except it shall have ten (10) Business Days to make a determination as to the existence and amount of the matters asserted in
Purchaser’s 5.5.1(d) Notice and the reference in Section 3.2(g)(v) to five (5) Business Days’ notice shall be changed to two (2) Business Days’ notice.

(b)    The 5.1.1(d) Arbitrator with respect to disputes relating to Environmental Defects shall be a
single arbitrator (the “5.1.1(d) Environmental Arbitrator”), determined as described in Section 16.3(d) below. The 5.1.1(d) Environmental Arbitrator shall be a licensed environmental engineer or environmental attorney with at
least ten (10) years’ experience assessing the environmental condition of oil and gas properties in the state where the Environmental Defect Property at issue is located and who has not performed material services for either Party or their
Affiliates in the prior five (5) years. 
 (c)    The 5.1.1(d) Arbitrator with respect to disputes
relating to Casualty Losses shall be a single arbitrator (the “5.1.1 (d) Casualty Loss Arbitrator”), determined as described in Section 16.3(d) below. The arbitrator shall be a licensed appraiser with at least ten
(10) years’ experience appraising oil and gas personal property and equipment in the state where the Casualty Loss at issue is located and who has not performed material services for either Party or their Affiliates in the prior five
(5) years. 
 (d)    Within three (3) Business Days following Seller’s receipt of
Purchaser’s 5.1.1(d) Notice, Seller and Purchaser shall each exchange lists of five (5) acceptable, qualified arbitrators for the 5.1.1(d) Environmental Arbitrator and the 5.1.1(d) Casualty Loss Arbitrator, as applicable. Within three
(3) Business Days following the exchange of lists of acceptable arbitrators, Purchaser and Seller shall select by mutual agreement one arbitrator to serve as the 5.1.1(d) Environmental Arbitrator and/or the 5.1.1(d) Casualty Loss Arbitrator, as
applicable, from the combined lists. If no agreement is reached, Purchaser and Seller shall each, by 5:00 pm Central Time on the second Business Day, identify a single arbitrator from their original lists of five


  
 86 













 
(5) acceptable arbitrators. The two (2) selected arbitrators shall then together select a third arbitrator from the original lists within three (3) Business Days following their
selection. Such third arbitrator shall serve as the applicable Arbitrator.

CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS 

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) provides that a transferee of a U.S. real
property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. federal income tax purposes (including Section 1445 of the Code), the owner of a disregarded entity will be the transferor of the property and not the
disregarded entity. To inform Seneca Resources Company, LLC (“Seneca”) and NFG Midstream Covington, LLC (“NFG”), the transferees of a U.S. real property interest (Seneca and NFG together,
“Transferee”), that withholding of tax is not required in connection with the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by Shell Oil Company (the owner of SWEPI LP, which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under
local law but is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) (“Transferor”), the undersigned hereby certifies to the best of his knowledge the following on behalf of Transferor, solely in his capacity as an attorney-in-fact of Transferor: 
  

	1.	 Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those
terms are defined in the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder); 


  

	2.	 SWEPI LP is a disregarded entity (as defined in Treasury Regulation §
1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii)) and is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Transferor; 


  

	3.	 Transferor is not a disregarded entity (as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii)); 


  

	4.	 Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is [***]; and 



 

	5.	 Transferor’s office address is P.O. Box, 2463 Houston, Texas 77252-2463. 



Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Transferee and that any
false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both. 












 Under penalties of perjury, the undersigned declares that he has examined
this certification, and, to the best of his knowledge and belief, it is true, correct, and complete, and he further declares that he has the authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.

	 	 with respect to each Line Number/Survey Name, as set forth in Exhibit “1”. Owner shall not have any
obligation to provide or deliver any Data (or copies thereof) to Licensee. Licensee recognizes that the Data is made available on a “where is, as is” basis and that Owner does not guarantee the accuracy or quality of Data for a particular
purpose, and any use that Licensee makes of the Data is made at Licensee’s own risk. Owner shall not be liable to Licensee for any loss or damage arising from any Data, including defects or inaccuracies of the Data regardless of the reason or
cause of such defects or inaccuracies. In no event shall Owner or any of its affiliates, or its respective directors, officers, employees, partners (including joint venture partners and participants), shareholders, agents, representatives or other
advisors be liable to Licensee or any party claiming by, through or under Licensee, whether in contract or tort or otherwise, for any damages whatsoever or for any incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, indirect or consequential damages,
including economic or financial loss, as a result of granting any rights granted hereunder or as a result of the use of the Data by Licensee or any party claiming by, through or under Licensee. OWNER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY
KIND, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS, WITH RESPECT TO THE DATA OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS,
ALL OF WHICH ARE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED. 


  

	2.	 Licensee understands and agrees that Owner has and retains ownership rights in the Data and Owner shall continue to
have the exclusive right to license, sell, trade, and loan the Data for any purpose, and the right to use the Data for any purpose. No right of ownership, express or implied, is granted to Licensee under this License Agreement with respect to the
Data licensed hereunder and, except as expressly set forth herein, no license or other rights with respect to the Data are granted by Owner hereunder. 


  

	3.	 Licensee shall have the right to filter, migrate, reformat, process or reprocess the Data using software or technology
providing that the resulting processed or reformatted Data and any work product or derived works of authorship made by or on behalf of Licensee and which contains any Data shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this License Agreement.



  

	4.	 Licensee agrees that the Data, including all reprocessed or reformatted Data, shall be for its own internal use only
and that it will not sell, trade, show, disclose, release or otherwise give to any third party any of the Data received by it hereunder, nor any copies, including all reprocessed or reformatted Data, without the prior written consent of Owner.
However, this prohibition shall not preclude Licensee from showing, disclosing, releasing or giving the Data or any copies, including all reprocessed or reformatted Data, to any affiliate, where such affiliate agrees in writing to abide by the terms
of this License Agreement, and a copy of that agreement is provided to Owner prior to the showing, disclosing, releasing or giving of the Data or any copies, including all reprocessed or reformatted Data, provided that Licensee shall cause such
affiliates to comply with the restrictions in this Agreement (as if it were a party hereto) and any act or omission by any such affiliate in connection with the Data shall be deemed to be an act or omission of Licensee. If any such affiliate of
Licensee ceases to be an affiliate of Licensee, all rights of usage that the affiliate had shall immediately cease. Licensee shall cause any copies of the Data or physical 















	 	 
manifestations of them then in the possession of the affiliate to immediately be returned to Licensee. 


  


	5.	 If required by Applicable Laws, and if necessary in the normal course of Licensee’s business, Licensee may
disclose the Data to appropriate governmental agencies having jurisdiction, provided that Owner consents in writing, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and provided further that Licensee promptly informs Owner in writing of full
details of each request for the Data, to whom the disclosure is to be made and the reason for such disclosure, such writing to be provided as soon as practicable prior to actual disclosure to the requesting agency. Licensee will cooperate with Owner
if Owner decides to contest the disclosure of the Data to the requesting agency or otherwise request a protective order be issued by the requesting agency. 


  

	6.	 Licensee shall not assign this License Agreement or any of its rights hereunder to any third party without the prior
written consent of Owner, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. Subject to the foregoing, this License Agreement shall be binding upon and shall enure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors,
receivers, receiver-managers, trustees and permitted assigns. 


  

	7.	 Except as may be expressly allowed by this License Agreement, Licensee shall: 



 

	 	(a)	 treat the Data as confidential and shall take all measures to safeguard the Data from unauthorized use or disclosure
and, in any event, Licensee shall provide at least the same degree of care and control of the Data as Licensee exercises towards its own proprietary, confidential and copyright protected information and at least a reasonable degree of care;



  

	 	(b)	 not use the Data, or copy, sell, transfer, disclose, or otherwise make available the Data in any form to any person,
firm, corporation or other entity, except use or disclosure as expressly set out herein; and 


  

	 	(c)	 prior to any disclosure to, or access of, Data to its employees, agents, consultants, representatives and other
advisers, Licensee shall make known to such individuals the restrictions (including on use) imposed by this License Agreement and shall cause such individuals to (i) execute confidentiality agreements that impose confidentiality, non-use, and non-disclosure obligations on such individuals that are no less stringent than those contained in this License Agreement, and otherwise comply with the
restrictions in this Agreement (as if it were a party hereto), and (ii) use the Data for the benefit of Licensee only, and any act or omission by any such individual in connection with the Data shall be deemed to be an act or omission of
Licensee. 


  

	 	 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this License Agreement, Licensee shall not disclose or provide
access to any Data to any competitor of Owner or any of its affiliates, and Licensee shall comply with all applicable statutes, laws, regulations, treaties or common law, including judgments and orders of courts of competent jurisdiction, with
respect to the Data. 


  

	8.	 Licensee agrees that remedies at law, including monetary damages, will be inadequate to protect Owner against breach
of the confidentiality provisions set out in this License Agreement. Licensee hereby agrees that Owner is entitled to injunctive or other equitable 















	 	 
relief, without proof of actual damages, from any breach or anticipated or threatened breach of the confidentially provisions and Licensee agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or
posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive remedies, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 



 

	9.	 This License Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect thereafter unless terminated
as provided herein. 


  

	 	 Owner shall have the right to terminate this License Agreement as a result of Licensee’s material breach. Owner
shall give Licensee written notice of the breach, specifying the nature thereof, and Licensee shall have thirty days after such notice to cure such breach. Upon the failure of Licensee to cure the breach within the thirty day period, Owner shall
have the right to terminate this License Agreement by giving written notice of termination. This License Agreement shall terminate effective on the date set forth in the termination notice. The right of Owner to terminate this License Agreement for
material breach shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other right or remedy that Owner may have at law or in equity, including the right to sue Licensee for any prior breach of the License Agreement, or for breach of the whole License
Agreement or any unperformed balance thereof. 


  

	10.	 On the effective date of any termination, cancellation or expiration of this License Agreement, the right and license
granted herein to Licensee shall terminate and Licensee shall, at Owner’s option, destroy or return to Owner any and all Data and copies or physical manifestations thereof. However, the restrictions on use and the obligations of confidence and
the limitations of liability under this License Agreement shall not terminate or expire. 


  

	11.	 After the date hereof as may be necessary or desirable, and without further consideration, the parties hereto shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver such other instruments and shall take such other action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out their respective obligations under this License Agreement. 



 

	12.	 This License Agreement shall, in all respects, be subject to and be interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance
with the laws in effect in the State of Texas. The sole and exclusive venue and forum for any action brought in connection with this License is any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in Harris County, Texas. EACH
PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH REGARD TO ANY SUCH ACTION. 


  

	13.	 Time shall be of the essence in this License Agreement. 



 

	14.	 This License Agreement states the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the Data. This License
Agreement shall supersede and replace any and all prior agreements between the parties hereto relating to licensing the Data to Licensee and may be amended only by written instrument signed by all parties hereto. No supplement, modification, waiver
or termination of this License Agreement will be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver of any provision of this License Agreement will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof
(whether or not similar) nor will a waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. 















	15.	 In the event any provision, clause, article, section, sentence or part of this License Agreement is inconsistent with
or contrary to any applicable law, same shall be deemed to be modified to the extent required to comply with said law (it being the intention of both Parties to enforce to the fullest extent all terms of this License Agreement) and as so modified
those terms and conditions and these original terms and conditions shall continue in full force and effect. Any provision of this License Agreement, which may be ruled invalid or unenforceable, shall be considered separate and distinct and the
remainder of this License Agreement shall not be made invalid or unenforceable by the invalidity of any term, phrase or sentence of this License Agreement. 


  

	16.	 This License Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, and the executed counterparts shall together
constitute one instrument and have the same force and effect as if both of the parties had executed the same instrument. Delivery may occur via facsimile. 



IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have executed this License Agreement as of the date first above written.

Securities included on such Registration Statement in a transaction on the secondary market, the Company will amend or supplement such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such offering to take place. 

(e)    Without limiting Section 3.2(d), in connection with the Required
Registration pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 3.1, the Company shall (i) promptly prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed (A) such additional forms, amendments, supplements, prospectuses,

from a Person for whom Registrable Securities have been registered on (but not yet sold under) such Registration Statement, other than the Holder, Affiliates of the Holder or transferees of the

connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) and all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information Holder previously furnished to the Company not contain a material
misstatement of fact or necessary to cause such Registration Statement or prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) not to omit a material fact with respect to Holder necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading;
(ii) providing reasonable assistance to the Company with its compliance with (A) the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the guidance of the staff of the Commission thereunder, (B) all applicable state securities laws,
(C) the rules of any securities exchange or trading market on which the Company’s Common Stock is listed or traded and (D) all other applicable regulations, in each case, in connection with the registration and the disposition of
Registrable Securities; (iii) following its actual knowledge thereof, notifying the Company of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in a Registration Statement, prospectus, issuer free writing prospectus or other free
writing prospectus regarding the Holder that is based on written information furnished by the Holder to the Company for the express purpose of inclusion therein untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in a
Registration Statement, Prospectus or free writing prospectus so that, in such regard, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements not
misleading; and (iv) reasonably cooperating with the Company in preparing the applicable Registration Statement (including any amendment or supplement thereto) and any related prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). 

Section 3.2    Underwritten and Piggyback Offerings. 

(a)    Requested Underwritten Offering. The Holder shall have the option and right, exercisable by
delivering written notice to the Company of its intention to distribute Registrable Securities by means of an Underwritten Offering (an “Underwritten Offering Notice”), to require the Company, pursuant to the terms of and
subject to the limitations of this Agreement, to effectuate a distribution of at least $50 million of its Registrable Securities by means of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an effective Registration Statement covering such Registrable
Securities (a “Requested Underwritten Offering”); provided that the Holder shall only be permitted to exercise this option and right twice hereunder. The Underwritten Offering Notice must set forth the number of
Registrable Securities that such Holder intends to include in such Requested Underwritten Offering. The Managing Underwriter of a Requested Underwritten Offering shall be designated by the Holder, subject to the consent of the Company (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For purposes of this Section 3.2(a), an offering shall be deemed to be a Requested Underwritten Offering at the time that the Underwritten Offering Notice has
been delivered to the Company; provided that no Requested 

  
 G-8 













 
Underwritten Offering shall be considered as having been effected if, on no more than two occasions, an Underwritten Offering Notice shall have been delivered but no Prospectus was filed with the
Commission with respect to such offering and the offering was not launched within fifteen Business Days of the delivery of such Underwritten Offering Notice. To the fullest extent possible, the Holder shall control the timeline and tenor of
negotiations with respect to any Requested Underwritten Offering. 
 (b)    Piggyback Offering.
If the Company shall at any time following the Repurchase Period propose to conduct a registered offering of its Common Stock for cash, whether for its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company, under the Securities
Act (other than any registration (i) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any
employee stock plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or
any successor rule thereto), (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan or (iv) pursuant to any “at-the-market”
offering), then the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such proposal reasonably in advance of (and in any event at least two Business Days before in connection with a “bought deal” or Overnight Underwritten Offering) the
commencement of the offering, which notice shall set forth the principal terms and conditions of the issuance, including the proposed offering price (or range of offering prices), the anticipated filing date of the related registration statement (if
applicable) and the number of shares of Common Stock that are proposed to be registered (the “Piggyback Notice”). Receipt of any Piggyback Notice required to be provided in this Section 3.2(b) to the
Holder shall be kept confidential by the Holder (except that the Holder may share such Piggyback Notice with its legal, financial and other advisors that are under a confidentiality agreement with the Holder or owe the holder a duty of
confidentiality) until such proposed offering is (i) publicly announced or (ii) the Holder receives notice that such proposed offering has been abandoned, which such notice shall be provided promptly by the Company to the Holder. The
Piggyback Notice shall offer the Holder the opportunity to include in such offering (and any related registration, if applicable) the number of Registrable Securities as the Holder may request in writing (a “Piggyback
Offering”); provided, however, that in the event that the Company proposes to effectuate the subject offering pursuant to an effective Shelf Registration Statement of the Company other than an Automatic Shelf Registration
Statement, only Registrable Securities of the Holder which are subject to an effective Shelf Registration Statement may be included in such offering, unless the Company is then able to file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement and, in the
reasonable judgment of the Company, the filing of the same including Registrable Securities of Holders that are not otherwise included in an effective Shelf Registration Statement would not have a material adverse effect on the price, timing or
distribution of the Common Stock in such Piggyback Offering. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in each such Piggyback Offering such Registrable Securities for which the Company has a received written request for inclusion
therein (“Piggyback Request”) within three Business Days after sending the Piggyback Notice (or one Business Day in connection with a “bought deal” or Overnight Underwritten Offering). The Company may postpone or
withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a registration in connection with a Piggyback Offering at any time in its sole discretion. A Piggyback Offering shall not be considered a Requested Underwritten Offering for purposes of
Section 3.2(a). The Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of such Holder’s Registrable Securities from a Piggyback Offering at any time, and such Holder shall continue to have the right


  
 G-9 













 
to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent Underwritten Offerings, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Managing Underwriter of any Piggyback Offering that is an
Underwritten Offering shall be designated by the Company. 
 (c)    Priority in Underwritten
Offerings. In connection with an Underwritten Offering, if the Managing Underwriter of any such Underwritten Offering advises the Company and the Holder in writing, that the total amount of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) that the Holder and any other Persons (including the Company) intend to include in such Underwritten Offering (and any related registration, if applicable) exceeds the number that can be included in such
Underwritten Offering without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Stock offered or the market for the Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common
Stock), then the Common Stock to be included in such Underwritten Offering (in each case subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement) shall include the number of shares of Common Stock that such Managing Underwriter advises the
Company can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated as follows: 

(i)    if the offering was initiated for and on behalf of the Company: 

(A)    first to the Company; 

(B)    second, to the Holder; and 

(C)    third, to all other holders of Common Stock entitled to participate in such
Underwritten Offering; 
 (ii)    in the case of a Requested Underwritten Offering: 

(A)    first, to the Holder; and 

(B)    second, to the Company; and 

(iii)    if the offering was not initiated for and on behalf of the Company and was
initiated for and on behalf of any holder of registration rights (other than the Holder): 

(A)    first, to the Holder; 

(B)    second, to the requesting holders, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common
Stock held by such requesting holders; 
 (C)    third, to the Company; and 

(D)    fourth, pro rata among all other holders of Common Stock proposed to be included in
such offering based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by such other holders.

the Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by the Holder (including those incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such
documents with the Commission; provided that the Company will not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system. 

(h)    The Company will promptly deliver to the Holder such documents as the Holder may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities during the Effectiveness Period including, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) authorized by the Company
for use and each amendment or supplement thereto as the Holder may reasonably request and. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by the Holder in
connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto. 

(i)    The Company will provide or maintain a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same entity)
for all such Registrable Securities. The Company will cooperate with the Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration
Statement, which certificates shall be free of all restrictive legends indicating that the Registrable Securities are unregistered or unqualified for resale under the Securities Act, Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws, and to enable
such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holder may request in writing. In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s 

  
 G-13 













 
transfer agent, the Company will promptly, after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to be
delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without any
such legend upon sale by the Holder of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. 

(j)    Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3.3(e)(v), the
Company will promptly prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, if required by applicable law, to the affected Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and shall provide such amendment, supplement or other document to the Holder or its transferee, in the
amount of copies that may be requested by the Holder or its transferee, without charge. 
 (k)    With
respect to Underwritten Offerings, subject to the right of the Holder to withdraw such Holder’s Registrable Securities from an Underwritten Offering in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (i) the right of any Holder to include
such Holder’s Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent
provided herein, (ii) the Holder participating in such Underwritten Offering agrees to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form and sell the Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the Persons entitled to select the Managing Underwriter hereunder and (iii) the Holder participating in such Underwritten Offering agrees to complete and execute all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities (with
customary limitations on liability), underwriting agreements and other documents customarily and reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that, in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), no
holder of Registrable Securities included in any Underwritten Offering shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than customary representations and warranties of selling stockholders,
including such holder’s ownership of its shares of Common Stock to be sold in the offering and such holder’s intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect
thereto, except as otherwise provided in and consistent with Section 3.6(b). The Company hereby agrees with the Holder that, in connection with any Underwritten Offering in accordance with the terms hereof, it will
negotiate in good faith and execute all indemnities, underwriting and lockup agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, including using all its reasonable best efforts to procure customary
legal opinions, negative assurance letters, and auditor “comfort” letters of the Company and any consents of any independent public accountants, independent petroleum engineers or other Persons necessary in connection with the filing of
any Registration Statement or Prospectus in connection therewith. In connection with any Underwritten Offering, the Company shall promptly prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed all of the documents referenced in Section 3.1(e)
(both with respect to any “blue sky” or other securities laws of other jurisdictions and listing (or maintaining the listing) of 

  
 G-14 













 
the Registrable on the Trading Market and do any and all of the other acts and things referenced in Section 3.1(e), in each case that may be reasonably necessary or appropriate
or reasonably requested by the Holder or any underwriter to enable the Holder or such underwriter to consummate a public sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended timing and method or methods of distribution thereof. 

(l)    In connection with any Requested Underwritten Offering, the Company will use its reasonable best
efforts to take such actions as the Holder or any underwriter reasonably requests in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities subject to such Requested Underwritten Offering and to cause appropriate officers and
employees to be available, on a customary basis and upon reasonable notice, to meet with prospective investors, underwriters and their representatives in presentations, meetings, due diligence sessions and road shows. In connection with any
Requested Underwritten Offering, the Company shall make available, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, for inspection by any selling holder of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to
any Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such holder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties
of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement. 

(m)    Without duplication of its agreements in Section 3.1(g), the Holder
agrees to furnish to the Company any other information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such securities as the Company reasonably determines is required to be included in any Registration Statement or any Prospectus or prospectus
supplement relating to an Underwritten Offering. 
 (n)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company shall not be required to file a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) (or, if the Company has filed a Shelf Registration Statement and has included Registrable Securities therein, the Company shall be entitled to
suspend the offer and sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement) for a period of up to 60 days if (i) the Board of the Company determines that a postponement is in the best interest of the Company and its
stockholders generally because any registration or offering of Registrable Securities hereunder would reasonably be expected to, if not delayed or suspended, have a material adverse effect on a pending merger, acquisition, disposition, financing,
reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction involving the Company that, in each case, if consummated, would be material to the Company, (ii) the Board of the Company determines such registration would render the Company unable
to comply with applicable securities laws or (iii) the Board of the Company determines such registration would require disclosure of material, non-public information that the Company has a bona fide
business purpose for preserving as confidential and that would not otherwise be required to be disclosed at such time (any such period, a “Blackout Period”); provided that the Company shall not delay filing any
Registration Statement or delay or suspend the offer or sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement more than twice in any 12-month period. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall any Blackout Periods or any Suspension Periods collectively continue for more than 60 days in the aggregate during any 12-month period. 

  
 G-15 













 Section 3.4    No Inconsistent Agreements;
Additional Rights. The Company shall not hereafter enter into during the Effectiveness Period, and is not currently a party to, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent in any material respect with the rights granted to
the Holder by this Agreement, and any such agreement shall be considered void ab initio. If the Company grants any registration or similar rights to third parties, such rights will be expressly subordinated to the Holder’s rights
hereunder. 
 Section 3.5    Registration Expenses. All Registration Expenses incident to
the Parties’ performance of or compliance with their respective obligations under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with any Required Registration, Requested Underwritten Offering or Piggyback Offering (in each case, excluding any
Selling Expenses) shall be borne by the Company, whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. “Registration Expenses” shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees
(including fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with the Trading Market, (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and (C) with respect to filings with FINRA), (ii)
printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for Company Securities and of printing Prospectuses if the printing of Prospectuses is reasonably requested by a Holder of Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement),
(iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel, auditors, accountants and independent petroleum engineers for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such
insurance, (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (vii) all expenses relating to marketing the sale of the Registrable
Securities, including expenses related to conducting a “road show.” In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(including expenses payable to third parties and including all salaries and expenses of their officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
listing of the Registrable Securities on the Trading Market. 

Section 3.6    Indemnification. 

(a)    The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each holder of Registrable Securities, including the
Holder, such holder’s officers, directors, managers, members, partners, stockholders, employees and Affiliates, and each other Controlling Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing Persons (collectively, “Holder Indemnified
Persons”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, costs (including reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and
expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Holder Indemnified Person
may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state blue sky securities laws (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which any Registrable Securities were registered, in any preliminary prospectus (if the Company authorized the use of such preliminary prospectus
prior to the Effective Date), or in any summary or final prospectus or free writing prospectus (if such free writing prospectus was authorized for 

  
 G-16 













 
use by the Company) or in any amendment or supplement thereto (if used during the period the Company is required to keep the Registration Statement current), or arising out of, based upon or
resulting from the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading or any
violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws applicable to the Company and relating to any action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any Registration
Statement or any registration or disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement, and the Company shall reimburse each Holder Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder
Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such Loss; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Holder Indemnified Person to the extent that any such claim arises out of, is based upon
or results from an untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, such preliminary, summary or final prospectus or free writing prospectus or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnified Person specifically for use in the preparation thereof. The Company shall notify the Holder promptly of the institution, threat or assertion
of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have and shall remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnified Person or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by the Holder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this
Section 3.6 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement indefinitely. 

(b)    In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Holder participates, the Holder shall,
severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and each Controlling Person who controls any of the foregoing Persons (collectively,
“Company Indemnified Persons”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any such Registration Statement, in any preliminary prospectus (if used prior to the Effective Date of such Registration Statement), or in any summary or final prospectus or free writing prospectus or in any amendment or supplement
thereto (if used during the period the Company is required to keep the Registration Statement current), or arising out of, based upon or resulting from the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that the same are made in reliance and in conformity with information relating to the Holder
furnished in writing to the Company by the Holder expressly for use therein, and the Holder shall reimburse each Company Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Company Indemnified Person in connection with
investigating, defending or settling any such Loss. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Holder may otherwise have and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or
any indemnified party. In no event shall the liability of the Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by the Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such
indemnification obligation. 

  
 G-17 













 (c)    Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder
shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified
and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim or there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, permit such indemnifying party
to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its
consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to
any local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party
that are in addition to or may conflict with those available to another indemnified party with respect to such claim. Failure to give prompt written notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligations hereunder. 

(d)    If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.6 is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any Losses referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable
law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the
other, in connection with the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying
party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied
by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided that in no event shall any contribution
by the Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering actually received by the Holder 

Section 3.7    Rule 144 Compliance. With a view to making available to the holders of
Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company shall: 

(a)    make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144,
at all times after the date hereof; 
 (b)    use its reasonable best efforts to file with the
Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, at any time after the date hereof; and 

(c)    furnish to any holder so long as the holder owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, a
written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting 

  
 G-18 













 
requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed or
furnished by the Company as such holder may reasonably request in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without registration; provided that the Company will not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause
that is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system. 
 ARTICLE IV 

REPURCHASE OPTION 

Section 4.1    Repurchase Option. 

(a)    During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the later of (i) the 90th day
following the date hereof and (ii) the second Business Day following the date that the Company files its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 (such period, the
“Repurchase Period”), the Company shall have the irrevocable right and option (the “Repurchase Option”), but not the obligation, to repurchase from time to time from the Holder (and any of its
Affiliates holding Shares) all or a portion of the Shares at a price per Share (the “Repurchase Price”) equal to the lesser of (x) the volume weighted average share price of Common Stock on the NYSE (as reported by
Bloomberg L.P. under the function “VWAP”) for the fifteen (15) consecutive trading Business Days ending on and including the first (1st) trading Business Day preceding the date on which the Repurchase Notice is delivered and
(y) an amount equal to 110% of the Share Price; provided that in no event shall the Repurchase Price be less than the Share Price. 

(b)    To exercise the Repurchase Option, the Company shall send notice thereof (the
“Repurchase Notice”) to the Holder, which notice shall set forth the Repurchase Price, the number of Shares to be repurchased pursuant to such Repurchase Option (the “Repurchase Shares”) and the date
on which the closing of the purchase and sale of the Repurchase Shares shall occur (the “Repurchase Date”), which date shall be not earlier than one (1) Business Day following delivery of the Repurchase Notice and not
later than the later of (i) the last day of the Repurchase Period and (ii) five (5) Business Days following delivery of the Repurchase Notice. On the Repurchase Date, the Company shall pay (or caused to be paid), by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Holder, an amount equal to (x) the Repurchase Price, multiplied by (y) the number of Repurchase Shares. Upon payment of such amount by the Company at the closing of
the Repurchase Option (in accordance with any necessary action or authorization of the Board of the Company, which action shall be the sole responsibility of the Company), the Repurchase Shares will no longer be outstanding, will automatically be
cancelled and will cease to exist. Each of the Company and the Holder shall (and the Holder shall cause its Affiliates to) cooperate with the other Party and take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the closing of the
Repurchase Option and give effect to the forgoing transfer and cancellation of the Repurchase Shares, except that any out-of-pocket costs or expenses in connection with
such transfer and cancellation, including any reasonable attorney’s fees or transfer costs or taxes, shall be borne solely by the Company. 

(c)    For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company delivers a Repurchase Notice on or prior to the last
day of the Repurchase Period, such Repurchase Notice shall be effective, 

  
 G-19 













 
and the Company and the Holder (and its Affiliates, as applicable) shall proceed with the closing of the purchase and sale of the Repurchase Shares pursuant to such Repurchase Option as provided
for in this Section 4.1. 
 (d)    For purposes of determining the Repurchase
Price, the Share Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification or other change in the Common Stock which may be made by the Company after the date of this Agreement.

 Section 5.2    Successors and Assigns. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns of each of the Parties. All of the terms, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties, and their
respective successors and assigns, and no other Parties (including, without limitation, any other stockholders or creditor of the Company, or any director, officer or employee of the Company) are intended to be benefitted by, or entitled to enforce,
this Agreement. 
 Section 5.3    Assignment of Rights. No Party hereto may transfer or
assign any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto; provided that the Holder may transfer and assign its rights to cause the Company to register Registrable
Securities under Article III to (a) any of its Affiliates that own Shares for so long as such assignee continues to be an Affiliate of the Holder; provided further that this Agreement shall be binding upon any transferee of Shares
that is an Affiliate of the Holder as long as such transferee continues to be an Affiliate of the Holder or (b) any broker or dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act, that receives Shares in a transaction exempt from
the registration requirements under the Securities Act for its own account or the accounts of other qualified institutional buyers. 

Section 5.4    Recapitalization, Exchanges, etc. Affecting the Stock. The provisions of this
Agreement shall apply to the full extent set forth herein with respect to any and all interests of the Company Group or any successor or assign of any member of the Company Group (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise), which
may be issued in respect of, in exchange for or in substitution of, such interests, and shall be appropriately adjusted for combinations, stock or other splits, recapitalizations, pro rata distributions and the like occurring after the date of this
Agreement. 
 Section 5.5    Specific Performance. Damages in the event of breach of this
Agreement by a Party hereto may be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and it is therefore agreed that each such Person, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, will have the right to an injunction or other
equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining any such breach, and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof, and each of the Parties hereby waives any and all defenses it may have on the ground of lack of
jurisdiction or competence of the court to grant such an injunction or other equitable relief or that a remedy at law would be adequate. The existence of this right will not preclude any such Person from pursuing any other rights and remedies at law
or in equity which such Person may have. 
 Section 5.6    Counterparts. This Agreement may
be executed in any number of counterparts and by the Parties in separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but
one and the same Agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, portable document format (PDF) or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this
Agreement. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and effective as to each Person who (i) executes this Agreement in the appropriate space provided in the signature pages hereto notwithstanding the fact that other
Persons who have not executed this Agreement may be listed on the signature pages hereto and (ii) may from time to time become a Party to this Agreement by executing a counterpart of or joinder to this Agreement. 

  
 G-21 













 Section 5.7    Headings. The headings in
this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 

Section 5.8    Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action
(whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to any
representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement), will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action against any Party relating
to the foregoing shall be brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or
federal court within the State of Delaware), and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court over any such action. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute.
Each of the Parties agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 

Section 5.9    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT
CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION
ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER, RELATED TO, BASED ON, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. ANY PARTY MAY FILE AN
ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 5.9 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 

Section 5.10    Severability of Provisions. In case of a conflict between the provisions of
this Agreement and the provisions of any applicable law, the provisions of law shall govern over the provisions of this Agreement. If, for any reason and for so long as, any clause or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, unenforceable or unconscionable under any present or future law (or interpretation thereof), the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected by such illegality or invalidity. Any such invalid provision
shall be deemed severed from this Agreement as if this Agreement had been executed with the invalid provision eliminated. 

Section 5.11    Entire Agreement; Integrated Transactions. This Agreement and the other
agreements and documents expressly referred to herein is intended by the Parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the
subject matter contained herein and therein. This Agreement and the other agreements and documents expressly referred to herein or 

  
 G-22 













 
therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to such subject matter. This Agreement shall not be modified or changed (nor any provision of this
Agreement waived) except by a written amendment signed by all the Parties. This Agreement is entire as to all the performances to be rendered under it, and breach of any provision shall constitute a breach of the entire Agreement. A waiver of any
breach or failure to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not in any way affect, limit or waive a Party’s rights under this Agreement at any time to enforce strict compliance thereafter with any other term or condition
of this Agreement. 
 Section 5.12    No Presumption. In the event any claim is made by a
Party relating to any conflict, omission, or ambiguity in this Agreement, no presumption or burden of proof or persuasion shall be implied by virtue of the fact that this Agreement was prepared by or at the request of a particular Party or its
counsel. 
 Section 5.13    Further Assurances. The Company and the Holder shall cooperate
with each other and shall take such further action and shall execute and deliver such further documents as may be reasonably requested by any other Party in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement. 

Section 5.14    Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Delivery Point(s): Seller’s (formerly SWEPI’s) interconnection with Empire Pipeline at Jackson -
Tioga
 (If a pooling point is used, list a specific geographic and pipeline location):

 

	  

Special Conditions:

 
 1. Condition
Precedent. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the parties under this Transaction Confirmation that Seneca complete a temporary capacity release at maximum (currently $[***] per MMBTU/month) reservation charge (subject
to recall only in the event of a termination of this Transaction Confirmation) to Shell Energy for [***] MMBtu a Day of firm interstate Empire Pipeline, Inc., transportation under contract No. F11594 (the “Transportation Capacity”)
with a primary path of Seller’s interconnection with Empire at Jackson – Tioga (Point Identification Code: EPRU91111) to
Empire’s interconnection with TransCanada Pipeline at Chippawa (Point Identification Code: 012000010) (the “Transportation Path”) for the entire Delivery Period free of any liens or encumbrances. Shell Energy will have secondary receipt and delivery rights
on this transportation path.
  















If the foregoing condition precedent is not satisfied by July 1, 2020, then Shell Energy may
terminate this Transaction Confirmation upon written notice to Seneca and such termination shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under Section 10.2 of the Contract with Shell Energy as the
Non-Defaulting Party. Seneca and Shell Energy agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and all things necessary, proper or advisable for such Party to satisfy the
condition precedent set forth in this Special Condition 1 applicable to such Party by July 1, 2020. Seneca agrees that Shell Energy shall not have any liability with respect to the Transportation Capacity except to the extent such liabilities
arise and are attributable to acts or omissions by Shell Energy under the Transportation Capacity during the Delivery Period. 

2.    Transportation Charges. During and for the Delivery Period a charge of $[***]
per MMbtu will be reimbursed to Shell Energy by Seneca as partial offset of the Transportation Capacity charges for each MMbtu impacted if Empire Pipeline restricts Shell Energy’s ability to: (a) receive Gas into the Transportation
Capacity or; (b) deliver such Gas to any delivery point on the Transportation Path of the Transportation Capacity. 

3.    Marketing Fee. Seneca shall pay Shell Energy a $[***] per MMBtu marketing fee on
the Contract Quantity specified for this Transaction Confirmation each and every Month of the Delivery Period and such fee shall be reflected in the monthly invoices exchanged between Shell Energy and Seneca. For the avoidance of any doubt,
the marketing fee is not included in the Contract Price. 
 4.    Transporter FT Rate
Changes. In the event that Empire Pipeline’s Maximum FT rate changes during the Delivery Period, the Contract Price will be adjusted accordingly to offset the rate change impact paid by Shell Energy to the Transporter. 

5.    Quality. Gas delivered under this Transaction Confirmation shall be of such
quality to meet the currently effective Gas quality standards set forth in Empire Pipeline’s effective FERC Gas Tariff; as such tariff may be changed from time to time. 

6.    Asset Management Arrangement. 

A. Seneca agrees that Shell Energy shall not be obligated to utilize the Transportation Capacity to meet its Gas purchase
obligations under this Transaction Confirmation. Seneca also agrees that Shell Energy shall be entitled to utilize the Transportation Capacity during the Delivery Period as Shell Energy in its sole discretion shall determine and for Shell
Energy’s own benefit and account and that Seneca shall not be entitled to any portion of any profits or income realized by Shell Energy therefrom; provided that, the foregoing shall not entitle Shell Energy to fail to perform its obligations
set forth in this Transaction Confirmation. 
 B. Seneca acknowledges that Shell Energy neither has nor undertakes any
fiduciary or other special duty to Seneca hereunder. The rights, liabilities, responsibilities and remedies of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Transaction Confirmation shall be exclusively those expressly set forth herein.
Neither party is, or will represent itself as being, a partner of, or agent or fiduciary for, the other party with respect to the Transportation Capacity or otherwise. 

C. The parties agree that this Transaction Confirmation along with the temporary capacity release of the Transportation
Capacity described in Article 1 above are an Asset Management Arrangement pursuant to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Order 712, 712-A, and 712-B. All
required postings of the temporary capacity release of the Transportation Capacity shall be done in accordance with Order 712, 712-A and 712-B. Seneca agrees that it
shall provide a copy of the terms, conditions, and information to be included in all such capacity releases postings, prior to posting such on the applicable pipeline(s) EBB, for Shell Energy’s review and approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. 
 D. It shall be an Event of Default under the Contract with Seneca as the Defaulting Party if
the Transportation Capacity is recalled by Seneca for any reason other than an Event of Default by Shell Energy hereunder and termination of this Transaction Confirmation. 

E. In the event of the occurrence of an Early Termination Date as a result of an Event of Default, the Defaulting Party
shall pay the Non-Defaulting Party the AMA Termination Expenses (defined below) in addition to any Net Settlement Amount owed under the Contract. For the purposes of this Transaction Confirmation, the
“AMA Termination Expenses” shall mean an amount equal to any costs to unwind this Transaction Confirmation including any financial hedge transactions or physical forward transactions the
Non-Defaulting Party has entered into with respect to the Transportation Capacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the AMA Termination Expenses shall not include any costs or expenses, which are duplicative of
any costs or expenses which are already included in the Net Settlement Amount. 
 F. In the event
either Party terminates the Transaction Confirmation as provided herein or under the Contract, Seneca shall recall and be responsible for, and assume all rights and obligations for, the Transportation Capacity as of such date of termination.

7.    Other Matters:

 
 Scheduling. Shell
Energy shall schedule Gas with Empire Pipeline for receipt by Empire Pipeline at the Delivery Point according to the purchase and sale obligations agreed to under this Transaction Confirmation. Except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Transaction Confirmation, nothing herein shall change the meaning or the responsibilities of the parties under Section 4.1 and 4.2 of the Base Contract.

 
 Replacement Index. If
the Contract Price is based on a published index (the “Index Price”) and during the term of this Contract (i) the applicable publication is no longer published and no successor is named, or (ii) the applicable
publication ceases to publish or update a price report providing the information specified in the definition of the Index Price, or (iii) the applicable publication materially alters the basis upon which the Index Price is determined and
reported (the date that the first of such events occurs being herein called the “Redetermination Date”), then the parties shall promptly meet, following the request of either party, to negotiate in good faith in or to agree upon an
alternate publication for the purposes of determining the Index Price. If the parties fail to agree on an alternative price or reference publication within thirty (30) days of the Redetermination Date, then the Index Price will be
determined with each party obtaining a good faith quote from a leading, investment grade, non-affiliated dealer in the relevant market and averaging the two quotes.

 
 Conflicts. To the
extent there are conflicts between this Transaction Confirmation and the Base Contract, such conflicts will be resolved in favor of this Transaction Confirmation.

 
 This Transaction
Confirmation is being provided pursuant to and in accordance with the above referenced Contract between Shell Energy and Seneca and constitutes part of and is subject to all of the provisions of the Contract. With respect to the above stated deal
identification number (Deal #) identifying this specific “Transaction”, this Transaction Confirmation shall supersede any prior confirmations of this specific Transaction.

Delivery Point(s): Seller’s (formerly SWEPI’s) interconnection with Empire Pipeline at Jackson -
Tioga
 (If a pooling point is used, list a specific geographic and pipeline location):

 

	  

Special Conditions:

 
 1. Condition Precedent.
It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the parties under this Transaction Confirmation that Seneca complete a temporary capacity release at maximum (currently $[***] per MMBTU/month) reservation charge (subject to recall
only in the event of a termination of this Transaction Confirmation) to Shell Energy for [***] MMBtu a Day of firm interstate Empire Pipeline, Inc., transportation under contract No. F11594 (the “Transportation Capacity”) with a
primary path of Seller’s interconnection with Empire at Jackson – Tioga (Point Identification Code: EPRU91111) to
Empire’s interconnection with TransCanada Pipeline at Chippawa (Point Identification Code: 012000010) (the “Transportation Path”) for the entire Delivery Period free of any liens or encumbrances. Shell Energy will have secondary receipt and delivery rights
on this transportation path.
  
  














 
If the foregoing condition precedent is not satisfied by July 1, 2020, then Shell Energy may
terminate this Transaction Confirmation upon written notice to Seneca and such termination shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under Section 10.2 of the Contract with Shell Energy as the
Non-Defaulting Party. Seneca and Shell Energy agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and all things necessary, proper or advisable for such Party to satisfy the
condition precedent set forth in this Special Condition 1 applicable to such Party by July 1, 2020. Seneca agrees that Shell Energy shall not have any liability with respect to the Transportation Capacity except to the extent such liabilities
arise and are attributable to acts or omissions by Shell Energy under the Transportation Capacity during the Delivery Period. 

2.    Transaction 2 – Daily Put Option. “Put Option Contract Quantity”
means such Contract Quantity of Gas per Day, up to the Maximum daily quantity ([***] MMBtu/Day), as Seneca may nominate a put to Shell Energy for sale on a particular Day, no later than 8:00 a.m. prevailing Eastern time on the Trading Day
immediately prior to the applicable Gas flow Day(s). If Seneca fails to make a timely nomination of the Put Option Contract Quantity then such nomination shall be considered zero. Any Put Option Contract Quantities of Gas over weekends and holidays
shall be ratable, meaning equal quantities of Gas during each Day of the weekend or holiday period. For example, deliveries nominated on a Friday Trading Day for weekend delivery are for the same amount of MMBtu’s of Gas per Day for Saturday,
Sunday and Monday unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing. “Trading Day” and applicable Gas flow Days shall be day(s) designated in the Next Day Trading Calendar for Physical Gas published by the Intercontinental Exchange
(“ICE”) for the applicable calendar year. 
 3.    Transportation
Charges. During and for the Delivery Period a charge of $[***] per MMbtu will be reimbursed to Shell Energy by Seneca as partial offset of the Transportation Capacity charges for each MMbtu impacted if Empire Pipeline restricts Shell
Energy’s ability to: (a) receive Gas into the Transportation Capacity or; (b) deliver such Gas to any delivery point on the Transportation Path of the Transportation Capacity. 

4.    Marketing Fee. Seneca shall pay Shell Energy a $[***] per MMBtu marketing fee on
the Contract Quantity specified in Transaction 1 for this Transaction Confirmation each and every Month of the Delivery Period and such fee shall be reflected in the monthly invoices exchanged between Shell Energy and Seneca. For the
avoidance of any doubt, the marketing fee is not included in the Contract Price. 

5.    Transporter FT Rate Changes. In the event that Empire Pipeline’s Maximum FT
rate changes during the Delivery Period, the Contract Price will be adjusted accordingly to offset the rate change impact paid by Shell Energy to the Transporter. 

6.    Quality. Gas delivered under this Transaction Confirmation shall be of such
quality to meet the currently effective Gas quality standards set forth in Empire Pipeline’s effective FERC Gas Tariff; as such tariff may be changed from time to time. 

7.    Asset Management Arrangement. 

A. Seneca agrees that Shell Energy shall not be obligated to utilize the Transportation Capacity to meet its Gas
purchase obligations under this Transaction Confirmation. Seneca also agrees that Shell Energy shall be entitled to utilize the Transportation Capacity during the Delivery Period as Shell Energy in its sole discretion shall determine and for Shell
Energy’s own benefit and account and that Seneca shall not be entitled to any portion of any profits or income realized by Shell Energy therefrom; provided that, the foregoing shall not entitle Shell Energy to fail to perform its obligations
set forth in this Transaction Confirmation. 
 B. Seneca acknowledges that Shell Energy neither has nor undertakes any
fiduciary or other special duty to Seneca hereunder. The rights, liabilities, responsibilities and remedies of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Transaction Confirmation shall be exclusively those expressly set forth herein.
Neither party is, or will represent itself as being, a partner of, or agent or fiduciary for, the other party with respect to the Transportation Capacity or otherwise. 

C. The parties agree that this Transaction Confirmation along with the temporary capacity release of the Transportation
Capacity described in Article 1 above are an Asset Management Arrangement pursuant to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Order 712, 712-A, and 712-B. All
required postings of the temporary capacity release of the Transportation Capacity shall be done in accordance with Order 712, 712-A and 712-B. Seneca agrees that it
shall provide a copy of the terms, conditions, and information to be included in all such capacity releases postings, prior to posting such on the applicable pipeline(s) EBB, for Shell Energy’s review and approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. 
 D. It shall be an Event of Default under the Contract with Seneca as the Defaulting Party if
the Transportation Capacity is recalled by Seneca for any reason other than an Event of Default by Shell Energy hereunder and termination of this Transaction Confirmation. 

E. In the event of the occurrence of an Early Termination Date as a result of an Event of Default,
the Defaulting Party shall pay the Non-Defaulting Party the AMA Termination Expenses (defined below) in addition to any Net Settlement Amount owed under the Contract. For the purposes of this Transaction
Confirmation, the “AMA Termination Expenses” shall mean 


  
 2 














					
	
an amount equal to any costs to unwind this Transaction Confirmation including any financial hedge transactions
or physical forward transactions the Non-Defaulting Party has entered into with respect to the Transportation Capacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the AMA Termination Expenses shall not include any costs
or expenses, which are duplicative of any costs or expenses which are already included in the Net Settlement Amount.
  

F. In the event either Party terminates the Transaction Confirmation as provided herein or under the Contract,
Seneca shall recall and be responsible for, and assume all rights and obligations for, the Transportation Capacity as of such date of termination.
  

8.    Other Matters:

 
 Scheduling. Shell
Energy shall schedule Gas with Empire Pipeline for receipt by Empire Pipeline at the Delivery Point according to the purchase and sale obligations agreed to under this Transaction Confirmation. Except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Transaction Confirmation, nothing herein shall change the meaning or the responsibilities of the parties under Section 4.1 and 4.2 of the Base Contract.

 
 Priority of Deliveries.
Transaction 1 Contract Quantities (Baseload) will be considered the first gas through the meter prior to delivery of the Transaction 2 (Put Option) Contract Quantities, if any.

 
 Replacement Index. If
the Contract Price is based on a published index (the “Index Price”) and during the term of this Contract (i) the applicable publication is no longer published and no successor is named, or (ii) the applicable
publication ceases to publish or update a price report providing the information specified in the definition of the Index Price, or (iii) the applicable publication materially alters the basis upon which the Index Price is determined and
reported (the date that the first of such events occurs being herein called the “Redetermination Date”), then the parties shall promptly meet, following the request of either party, to negotiate in good faith in or to agree upon an
alternate publication for the purposes of determining the Index Price. If the parties fail to agree on an alternative price or reference publication within thirty (30) days of the Redetermination Date, then the Index Price will be
determined with each party obtaining a good faith quote from a leading, investment grade, non-affiliated dealer in the relevant market and averaging the two quotes.

 
 Conflicts. To the
extent there are conflicts between this Transaction Confirmation and the Base Contract, such conflicts will be resolved in favor of this Transaction Confirmation.

Delivery Point(s): Sellers’s (formerly SWEPI’s) interconnection with Empire Pipeline at Jackson
– Tioga
 (If a pooling point is used, list a specific geographic and pipeline
location):
  

	  

Special Conditions:

 

1.    Condition Precedent. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
parties under this Transaction Confirmation that Seneca complete a temporary capacity release at maximum (currently $[***] per MMBTU/month) reservation charge (subject to recall only in the event of a termination of this Transaction
Confirmation) to Shell Energy for [***] MMBtu a Day of firm interstate Empire Pipeline, Inc., transportation under contract No. F11594 (the “Transportation Capacity”) with a primary path of Seller’s interconnection with Empire
at Jackson – Tioga (Point Identification Code: EPRU91111) to Empire’s interconnection with TransCanada Pipeline at Chippawa
(Point Identification Code: 012000010) (the “Transportation Path”) for the entire Delivery Period free of any liens or encumbrances. Shell Energy will have secondary receipt and delivery rights on this transportation path.

 
  



  
 1 














If the foregoing condition precedent is not satisfied by July 1, 2020, then Shell Energy may
terminate this Transaction Confirmation upon written notice to Seneca and such termination shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under Section 10.2 of the Contract with Shell Energy as the
Non-Defaulting Party. Seneca and Shell Energy agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and all things necessary, proper or advisable for such Party to satisfy the
condition precedent set forth in this Special Condition 1 applicable to such Party by July 1, 2020. Seneca agrees that Shell Energy shall not have any liability with respect to the Transportation Capacity except to the extent such liabilities
arise and are attributable to acts or omissions by Shell Energy under the Transportation Capacity during the Delivery Period. 

2.    Transaction 2 – Daily Put Option. “Put Option Contract Quantity”
means such Contract Quantity of Gas per Day, up to the Maximum daily quantity ([***] MMBtu/Day), as Seneca may nominate a put to Shell Energy for sale on a particular Day, no later than 8:00 a.m. prevailing Eastern time on the Trading Day
immediately prior to the applicable Gas flow Day(s). If Seneca fails to make a timely nomination of the Put Option Contract Quantity then such nomination shall be considered zero. Any Put Option Contract Quantities of Gas over weekends and holidays
shall be ratable, meaning equal quantities of Gas during each Day of the weekend or holiday period. For example, deliveries nominated on a Friday Trading Day for weekend delivery are for the same amount of MMBtu’s of Gas per Day for Saturday,
Sunday and Monday unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing. “Trading Day” and applicable Gas flow Days shall be day(s) designated in the Next Day Trading Calendar for Physical Gas published by the Intercontinental Exchange
(“ICE”) for the applicable calendar year. 
 3.    Transportation
Charges. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Transportation Capacity charges and fees paid to Transporter under the temporary capacity release during and for the Delivery Period will be reimbursed to Shell Energy by Seneca if Empire
Pipeline restricts Shell Energy’s ability to: (a) receive Gas into the Transportation Capacity or; (b) deliver such Gas to any delivery point on the Transportation Pathof the Transportation Capacity. 

4.    Marketing Fee. Seneca shall pay Shell Energy a $[***] per MMBtu marketing fee on
the Contract Quantity specified in Transaction 1 for this Transaction Confirmation each and every Month of the Delivery Period and such fee shall be reflected in the monthly invoices exchanged between Shell Energy and Seneca. For the
avoidance of any doubt, the marketing fee is not included in the Contract Price. 

5.    Transporter FT Rate Changes. In the event that Empire Pipeline’s Maximum FT
rate changes during the Delivery Period, the Contract Price will be adjusted accordingly to offset the rate change impact paid by Shell Energy to the Transporter. 

6.    Quality. Gas delivered under this Transaction Confirmation shall be of such
quality to meet the currently effective Gas quality standards set forth in Empire Pipeline’s effective FERC Gas Tariff; as such tariff may be changed from time to time. 

7.     Asset Management Arrangement. 

A. Seneca agrees that Shell Energy shall not be obligated to utilize the Transportation Capacity to meet its Gas
purchase obligations under this Transaction Confirmation. Seneca also agrees that Shell Energy shall be entitled to utilize the Transportation Capacity during the Delivery Period as Shell Energy in its sole discretion shall determine and for Shell
Energy’s own benefit and account and that Seneca shall not be entitled to any portion of any profits or income realized by Shell Energy therefrom; provided that, the foregoing shall not entitle Shell Energy to fail to perform its obligations
set forth in this Transaction Confirmation. 
 B. Seneca acknowledges that Shell Energy neither has nor undertakes any
fiduciary or other special duty to Seneca hereunder. The rights, liabilities, responsibilities and remedies of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Transaction Confirmation shall be exclusively those expressly set forth herein.
Neither party is, or will represent itself as being, a partner of, or agent or fiduciary for, the other party with respect to the Transportation Capacity or otherwise. 

C. The parties agree that this Transaction Confirmation along with the temporary capacity release of the Transportation
Capacity described in Article 1 above are an Asset Management Arrangement pursuant to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Order 712, 712-A, and 712-B. All
required postings of the temporary capacity release of the Transportation Capacity shall be done in accordance with Order 712, 712-A and 712-B. Seneca agrees that it
shall provide a copy of the terms, conditions, and information to be included in all such capacity releases postings, prior to posting such on the applicable pipeline(s) EBB, for Shell Energy’s review and approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. 
 D. It shall be an Event of Default under the Contract with Seneca as the Defaulting Party if
the Transportation Capacity is recalled by Seneca for any reason other than an Event of Default by Shell Energy hereunder and termination of this Transaction Confirmation. 

E. In the event of the occurrence of an Early Termination Date as a result of an Event of Default,
the Defaulting Party shall pay the Non-Defaulting Party the AMA Termination Expenses (defined below) in addition to any Net Settlement Amount owed under the Contract. For the purposes of this Transaction
Confirmation, the “AMA Termination Expenses” shall mean 


  
 2 














					
	
an amount equal to any costs to unwind this Transaction Confirmation including any financial hedge transactions
or physical forward transactions the Non-Defaulting Party has entered into with respect to the Transportation Capacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the AMA Termination Expenses shall not include any costs
or expenses, which are duplicative of any costs or expenses which are already included in the Net Settlement Amount.
  

F. In the event either Party terminates the Transaction Confirmation as provided herein or under the Contract,
Seneca shall recall and be responsible for, and assume all rights and obligations for, the Transportation Capacity as of such date of termination.
  

8.    Other Matters:

 
 Scheduling. Shell
Energy shall schedule Gas with Empire Pipeline for receipt by Empire Pipeline ato the Delivery Point according to the purchase and sale obligations agreed to under this Transaction Confirmation. Except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Transaction Confirmation, nothing herein shall change the meaning or the responsibilities of the parties under Section 4.1 and 4.2 of the Base Contract.

 
 Priority of Deliveries.
Transaction 1 Contract Quantities (Baseload) will be considered the first gas through the meter prior to delivery of the Transaction 2 (Put Option) Contract Quantities, if any.

 
 Replacement Index. If
the Contract Price is based on a published index (the “Index Price”) and during the term of this Contract (i) the applicable publication is no longer published and no successor is named, or (ii) the applicable
publication ceases to publish or update a price report providing the information specified in the definition of the Index Price, or (iii) the applicable publication materially alters the basis upon which the Index Price is determined and
reported (the date that the first of such events occurs being herein called the “Redetermination Date”), then the parties shall promptly meet, following the request of either party, to negotiate in good faith in or to agree upon an
alternate publication for the purposes of determining the Index Price. If the parties fail to agree on an alternative price or reference publication within thirty (30) days of the Redetermination Date, then the Index Price will be
determined with each party obtaining a good faith quote from a leading, investment grade, non-affiliated dealer in the relevant market and averaging the two quotes.

 
 Conflicts. To the
extent there are conflicts between this Transaction Confirmation and the Base Contract, such conflicts will be resolved in favor of this Transaction Confirmation.

 
 Dodd Frank Trade Option

this commodity option transaction, or the products or byproducts thereof, and is offering or entering into this commodity option transaction solely for purposes related to its business as such.
