limited liability company, with an office at 11451 Katy Freeway, Suite 500, Houston, Texas 77079 (“Seller” or “Black Elk”), and Renaissance Offshore, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, with an address
at 920 Memorial City Way, Suite 800, Houston, Texas 77024 (“Buyer” or “Renaissance”). Seller and Buyer are sometimes referred to collectively as the “Parties”, and each individually as a
“Party”. 
 WHEREAS, Seller owns an undivided twenty-five percent (25%) record title interest and other
contractual interest in that certain federal offshore lease, together with related appurtenances, as more particularly identified on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes, and comprising the
“Assets”, as defined in that certain form of Assignment and Bill of Sale (“ABOS”), attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and made a part hereof for all purposes. 

WHEREAS, Seller wishes to sell, and Buyer wishes to buy, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Assets. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits derived and to be derived from this Agreement by each Party, Seller and Buyer do hereby
and by these presents agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Purchase Price. The “Purchase Price” of the sale of the Assets from Seller to Buyer shall be the monetary sum of Ten Million, Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($10,500,000.00), payable at Closing to Seller by Buyer. 

  

	2.	Adjustments to Purchase Price. For purposes of the Closing Statements defined in Section 11 below, the Purchase Price for the Assets shall be
adjusted as follows (with such adjustments being made so as not to give any duplicative effect) with all such amounts being determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and Council of Petroleum Accountants Society (COPAS)
standards: 

  

	 	(a)	Reduced by the aggregate amount of the following proceeds actually received by Seller: (i) proceeds from the sale of hydrocarbons (net of any royalties, overriding
royalties or other burdens on or payable out of hydrocarbon production, gathering, processing and transportation costs and any hydrocarbon production, severance, sales or excise taxes not reimbursed to Seller by the purchaser of hydrocarbon
production) produced from or attributable to the Properties during the period between August 1, 2013 and the date the Final Closing Statement is executed by Seller and Purchaser, and (ii) other proceeds earned with respect to the Assets
during the period between August 1, 2013 and the date the Final Closing Statement is executed by Seller and Purchaser; 

  

	 	(b)	 Increased by the aggregate amount of the following proceeds actually received by Purchaser: (i) proceeds from the sale of hydrocarbons (net of any
royalties, overriding royalties or other burdens on or payable out of hydrocarbon production, gathering, processing and transportation costs and any hydrocarbon production, severance, sales or excise taxes not reimbursed to Purchaser by the
purchaser of hydrocarbon

production) produced from or attributable to the Properties for periods prior to August 1, 2013, and (ii) other proceeds earned with respect to the Assets for periods prior to
August 1, 2013; 

  

	 	(c)	Increased by the amount of any costs attributable to the ownership and operation of the Assets (including any overhead costs deemed charged to the Assets with respect
to the Adjustment Period even though not actually paid) incurred by Seller after August 1, 2013 and actually paid by Seller, whether before or after August 1, 2013, provided however, there shall be no upward adjustment of the Purchase
Price with respect to any costs incurred by Seller after August 1, 2013 in order to remedy any violation of Laws, including any Environmental Laws, or associated with any activities to respond to incidents of non-compliance;


  

	 	(d)	Increased or reduced as agreed upon in writing by Seller and Purchaser; 

  

	 	(e)	Increased by the value of the amount of merchantable hydrocarbons stored under standard conditions in tanks and upstream of the pipeline(s) sales meter, attributable to
the Assets that belong to Seller as of August 1, 2013 (which value shall be computed at the applicable third-party contract prices for the month of May 2013 for such stored hydrocarbons); 


 

	 	(f)	Reduced by the actual net aggregate imbalances, if any, owed by Seller to third-parties, as of August 1, 2013 or increased by the actual net aggregate imbalances,
if any, owed by third parties to Seller as of August 1, 2013, in each case multiplied by a price of $3.50 per MMBtu (as of July 1, 2013, Seller has a net aggregate underbalance of 6,171 MMbtu); 


 

	 	(g)	Decreased by the amount of all costs attributable to the ownership and operation of the Assets for periods prior to August 1, 2013 which are actually paid by
Purchaser; and each adjustment made pursuant to Section 2 shall serve to satisfy, up to the amount of the adjustment, Purchaser’s entitlement to hydrocarbon production from or attributable to the Properties during the Adjustment
Period, and to the value of other income, proceeds, receipts and credits earned with respect to the Assets during the Adjustment Period, and as such, Purchaser shall not have any separate duplicative rights to receive any hydrocarbon production or
income, proceeds, receipts and credits with respect to which an adjustment has been made. Similarly, the adjustment described in Section 2 (c) shall serve to satisfy, up to the amount of the adjustment, Purchaser’s obligation
to pay costs attributable to the ownership and operation of the Assets which are Incurred during the Adjustment Period, and as such, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be separately obligated to pay for
any costs with respect to which an adjustment has been made. 

  

	3.	Effective Date. Subject to the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement, the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be effective as of
7:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time) on July 31, 2013 (“Effective Date”), however, 7:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time) on August 1, 2013 will be used under this Agreement solely for purposes of allocating revenue, expenditures, gas
imbalances and taxes as more specifically set forth herein.

	4.	Due Diligence. Prior to Closing, Buyer has had an opportunity to review Seller’s files and records pertaining to the Assets and to conduct a physical
inspection of the Wells and Facilities, as defined in the ABOS, and, in their sole discretion, has determined that same are satisfactory in all material respects. 


 

	5.	Warranty. The sale of the Assets from Seller to Buyer shall be without warranty of title, either expressed or implied, as to description, title,
condition, quality, fitness for purchase, merchantability or completeness or otherwise, except as to claims by, through and under Seller, but not otherwise, and with full substitution and subrogation in and to all rights and actions of warranty of
title which Seller has or may have against all preceding owners and vendors, except to the extent any such warranty is not transferrable or is subject to a transfer fee or similar payment (unless Buyer assumes responsibility for such transfer fee or
similar payment). If the description of any portion of the Assets, as set forth herein, or in the Exhibits attached hereto, is inaccurate, such erroneous description will be corrected by the Parties upon proof of proper description. Further, the
Facilities (as defined in the ABOS) are sold on an “as is, where is” basis without warranty, either express or implied, as to title, value, quality, condition or fitness for any purpose, and Buyer acknowledges that it has not relied upon
any such express or implied warranty.

Additionally, the Parties shall execute a BOEM Form 150 for filing with and approval by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (“BOEM”) of the Department of the Interior, together with such additional forms as may be required by any

arising out of, or in any way incidental to the ownership of or operations conducted on the Assets before, on or after the Effective Date. 

  

	11.	Closing Adjustments and Closing Payment. 

  

	 	(a)	Not later than three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser, based upon the best information available to Seller, a
preliminary settlement statement estimating the Adjusted Purchase Price after giving effect to all adjustments listed in Section 2 together with associated supporting documentation (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”).
To the extent available, actual numbers shall be used in preparing the Preliminary Closing Statement; however, if actual numbers are not available Seller shall use reasonable and good faith estimates, which estimates shall be adjusted to take into
account actual numbers in connection with the Final Closing Statement. The estimate delivered in accordance with this Section 11 shall constitute the dollar amount to be paid by Purchaser to Seller at the Closing (the “Closing
Payment”). Until one (1) day before the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the opportunity to review and discuss the Preliminary Closing Statement with Seller; provided, however, if the Parties are unable to agree by that date,
Seller’s estimate shall be used to determine the adjustments in order for Closing to occur, with final adjustments being set forth in the Final Closing Statement. 


 

	 	(b)	 Within one-hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Final
Closing Statement”) setting forth the final calculation of the agreed purchase price and showing the calculation of each adjustment, based, to the extent possible, on actual credits, charges, receipts and




  
 -7-









	 	
other items before and after August 1, 2013 and taking into account all adjustments provided for in this Agreement (the “Final Purchase Price”). At the request of Purchaser,
Seller shall supply Purchaser with documentation to support any credit, charge, receipt or other item set forth in the Final Closing Statement in excess of $5,000.00. Seller shall afford Purchaser and its representatives the opportunity to review
such statement and the supporting schedules, analyses, work papers, and other underlying records or documentation as are reasonably necessary and appropriate in Purchaser’s review of such statement. Each Party shall cooperate fully and promptly
with the other and their respective representatives in such examination with respect to all reasonable requests related thereto. As soon as reasonably practicable but not later than the 31st day following receipt of Seller’s statement
hereunder, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written report containing any changes that Purchaser proposes be made to such statement. Seller and Purchaser shall undertake to agree on the final statement of the Final Purchase Price no later than
one hundred fifty (150) days after the Closing Date (the “Final Settlement Date”). Unless the Parties are unable to reach agreement on the Final Closing Statement on or before the Final Settlement Date, then on the Final
Settlement Date, (x) Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount by which the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Closing Payment or (y) Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount by which the Closing Payment exceeds the Final Purchase Price, as
applicable (in either case, the “Final Adjustment”). 

 In the event that Seller and Purchaser
cannot reach agreement by the Final Settlement Date, either Party may refer the remaining matters in dispute to Deloitte & Touche, LLC, or such other nationally-recognized independent accounting firm as may be mutually accepted by Purchaser
and Seller, for review and final determination (the “Agreed Accounting Firm”). If issues are submitted to the Agreed Accounting Firm for resolution, Seller and Purchaser shall each enter into a customary engagement letter with the
Agreed Accounting Firm at the time the issues remaining in dispute are submitted to the Agreed Accounting Firm. The Agreed Accounting Firm will be directed to (i) review the statement setting forth Seller’s calculation of the Final
Purchase Price and the records relating thereto only with respect to items identified by Purchaser in its written report containing changes to such statement that remain disputed immediately following the Final Settlement Date and
(ii) determine the final adjustments. Each Party shall furnish the Agreed Accounting Firm such work papers and other records and information relating to the objections in dispute as the Agreed Accounting Firm may reasonably request and that are
available to such Party or its Affiliates (and such Persons’ independent public accountants). The Parties will, and will, cause their representatives to, cooperate and assist in the conduct of any review by the Agreed Accounting Firm,
including, but not limited to, making available books, records and, as available, personnel as reasonably required. The Agreed Accounting Firm shall conduct the arbitration proceedings in Houston, Texas in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Section 11. The Agreed Accounting Firm’s determination shall be made within thirty (30) days after submission of the
matters in dispute and shall be final and binding on both Parties, without right of appeal and such decision shall constitute an arbitral award upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereof. In determining the


  
 -8-








 
proper amount of any adjustment to the Final Purchase Price, the Agreed Accounting Firm shall not increase the Final Purchase Price more than the increase proposed by Seller nor decrease the
Final Purchase Price more than the decrease proposed by Purchaser, as applicable, and may not award damages or penalties to either Party with respect to any matter. Seller and Purchaser shall each bear its own legal fees and other costs of
presenting its case. Each Party shall bear one-half of the costs and expenses of the accounting firm. Within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Parties or the Agreed Accounting Firm, as applicable, finally determines the
disputed matters, (x) Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount by which the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Closing Payment or (y) Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount by which the Closing Payment exceeds the Final Purchase Price, as
applicable. 
  

	 	(c)	All payments made or to be made hereunder to Seller shall be by electronic transfer of immediately available funds to the account of Seller as may be specified by
Seller in writing. All payments made or to be made hereunder to Purchaser shall be by electronic transfer of immediately available funds to a bank and account specified by Purchaser in writing to Seller. 


 

	 	(d)	The Parties acknowledge that it is not the intent of this Agreement that either Party be deprived of material amounts of revenue or be burdened by material amounts of
expense until the final adjustment pursuant to Section 11 (b). If at any time after Closing either Party believes it is owed material revenues or material expense reimbursement, which revenues and expense reimbursement owed shall be
netted against revenues and expenses due the other Party, it may request payment from the other Party, not more frequently than monthly, and such Party shall make payment of any undisputed amounts within a commercially reasonable period of time not
exceeding five (5) days. 

  

	 	(e)	To the extent that Seller receives any proceeds or revenues of any kind attributable to the Assets with respect to periods on and after August 1, 2013, Seller
shall promptly remit all such proceeds and revenues to Buyer within five (5) business days of receipt. In like fashion, to the extent that Buyer receives any proceeds or revenues of any kind attributable to the Assets with respect to
periods prior to August 1, 2013, Buyer shall promptly remit all such proceeds and revenues to Seller within five (5) business days of receipt. 


 

	12.	Filing Expenses. Buyer, at its expense, shall be solely responsible for the filing of the ABOS in the records of Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana and the
filing of the BOEM Form 150 with the BOEM, in order to obtain approval thereof, together with any other governmental filings that may be required to reflect, of record, Buyer’s ownership (and, if applicable, the operation) of the Assets. Buyer
shall furnish Seller with a copy of all such filings reflecting recordation and/or governmental approval information. 

  

	13.	Compliance with Laws. Buyer shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and orders and shall promptly obtain all permits and
approvals, if any, required by governmental authorities in connection with Buyer’s purchase (and if applicable, operation) of the Assets.

	14.	Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to the conflicts
of laws or principles applied by the courts of the State of Texas.
