**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Quarterly Report") includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, regarding our strategy, future operations, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, words such as "assume," "could," "would," "should," "will," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "expect," "project," "forecast," "may," "objective," "plan," "budget" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events at the time such statements were made. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the section entitled "Risk Factors" included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and each of the other factors set forth in "*Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors*" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Form 10-K"), and in other reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). By their nature forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual results of operations, cash flows and financial position and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the severity and duration of world health events, natural disasters or inclement or hazardous weather conditions, including cold weather, hurricanes, fires, droughts, earthquakes, flooding and tornadoes; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•evolving cybersecurity risks, such as those involving unauthorized access, third-party provider defects and service failures, denial-of-service attacks, malicious software, data privacy breaches by employees or service providers, insider or others with authorized access, cyber or phishing-attacks, ransomware, social engineering, physical breaches or other actions.

We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the operation of business in our industry. We disclose important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Factors that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or liquidity and the trading price of our Class A shares are described under "Risk Factors," included in our 2024 Form 10-K. This information should be considered carefully, together with other information in this report and other reports and materials we file with the SEC. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Quarterly Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary note. This cautionary note should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. Except as may otherwise be required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report.

**Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

**1.** **Organization and** **Nature of Operations**

LandBridge Company LLC (the "Company," "LandBridge," "we," "our" or "us") is headquartered in Houston, Texas and was formed on September 27, 2023 as a Delaware limited liability company to serve as the issuer in an initial public offering (the "IPO") that occurred on July 1, 2024. We are governed by our First Amended & Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2024 (the "A&R LLC Agreement"), which was entered into in connection with the IPO.

Our accounting predecessor is DBR Land Holdings LLC ("OpCo") and its subsidiaries. OpCo was formed in September 2021. We are a holding company whose principal asset consists of membership interests in OpCo ("OpCo Units"). As the managing member of OpCo and its subsidiaries, we operate and control all of the business and affairs of OpCo and its subsidiaries, and through OpCo and its subsidiaries, conduct our business.

We generate revenue primarily from the use of our surface acreage, the sale of resources from our land and oil and natural gas royalties. The use of surface acreage generally includes easements or leases and various surface use royalties. Sale of resources generally includes sales of brackish water and other surface composite materials. Our assets consist mainly of fee surface acreage, oil and natural gas mineral interests, brackish water wells and ponds and related facilities.

We own surface acreage in and around the Delaware Basin across Andrews, Loving, Reeves, Pecos and Winkler Counties in Texas and Eddy and Lea Counties in New Mexico and we own oil and natural gas mineral interests in Loving and Reeves Counties, Texas.

**2.** **Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

## Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the "Financial Statements") of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial results for the interim periods presented. Accordingly, these Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Form 10-K"). When necessary, certain reclassifications are made to prior period financial information to conform with current period presentation. All dollar amounts in the Financial Statements and tables in the notes are stated in thousands of dollars unless otherwise indicated.

In these Financial Statements, periods prior to the IPO reflect the financial statements of OpCo and its subsidiaries. Periods subsequent to the IPO, reflect the financial statements of the consolidated Company, including LandBridge, OpCo and its subsidiaries.

Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2025.

## Adjustment of Previously Issued Financial Statements
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025, the Company identified two errors in connection with its December 2024 private placement of Class A shares and the corresponding purchase of 2,498,751 OpCo Units from LandBridge Holdings, along with the cancellation of a corresponding number of Class B shares held by LandBridge Holdings. The Company did not correctly rebalance the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest ("NCI") to reflect the ownership change at OpCo in connection with the December 2024 purchase of OpCo Units, resulting in an understatement of the NCI amount and an overstatement of the Class A amount of $253.2 million, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statement of shareholders' and member's equity as of December 31, 2024. Further, a cancellation of OpCo Units occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 resulting in an overstatement of the NCI and an understatement of the Class A amount for that period. Additionally, the Company did not reflect the deferred tax asset generated from the step-up in tax basis associated with the December 2024 purchase of OpCo Units, resulting in an understatement of deferred tax assets and Class A amount of $29.0 million, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statement of shareholders' and member's equity as of December 31, 2024.

We assessed the materiality of the error, both quantitatively and qualitatively, in accordance with the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, and concluded the error was not material to any of our previously-issued quarterly or annual financial statements. However, we determined that it was appropriate to revise the applicable items in our previously-issued

financial statements. The adjustment to deferred tax assets of $29.0 million adjusts the investment in partnership amount within Note 7 — *Income Taxes* of the Company's consolidated financial statements contained in the 2024 Form 10-K. The error has no impact on the results of operations in our previously reported consolidated statements of operations, including net (loss) income or net income per share of Class A shares, or to cash flows in our previously reported consolidated statements of cash flows. The following tables reflect the effects of the correction on all affected line items of the Company's previously reported consolidated financial statements:

**Consolidation**

We have determined that the members with equity at risk in OpCo lack the authority, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact OpCo's economic performance; therefore, OpCo is considered a variable interest entity. As the managing member of OpCo, we operate and control all of the business and affairs of OpCo and also have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to us. Therefore, we are considered the primary beneficiary and consolidate OpCo.

The Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, OpCo and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

**Noncontrolling Interest**

Our Financial Statements include a noncontrolling interest representing the percentage of OpCo Units not held by us. The noncontrolling interest is subject to change in connection with various equity transactions such as issuances of Class A shares, the redemption of OpCo Units (and corresponding cancellation of an equivalent number of Class B shares) for Class A shares, or the cancellation of OpCo Units (and corresponding cancellation of an equivalent number of Class B shares) in lieu of the payment of a tax distribution by OpCo to the Company in excess of the Company's tax obligation for a given quarter.

## Segment Information
The Company operates in a single operating and reportable segment. All of our long-lived assets are located in the United States. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 280, Segment Reporting, defines characteristics of operating segments as being components of an enterprise in which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company's one segment approach is consistent with the reporting structure of the Company's internal organization, as well as with the financial information used by the Company's CODM. The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer who allocates resources and assesses performance based upon financial information at the consolidated level. The financial measure regularly provided to the CODM that is most consistent with GAAP is net income (loss), as presented on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets. The Company presents all of its significant segment expenses and other metrics as used by the CODM to make decisions regarding the Company's business, including resource allocation and performance assessment in our Financial Statements.

## Significant Accounting Policies
As of September 30, 2025, the Company's significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 — *Summary of Significant Accounting Policies* of its consolidated financial statements contained in the 2024 Form 10-K. There were no significant updates or revisions to our accounting policies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

## Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Whenever available, fair value is based on or derived from observable market prices or parameters. When observable market prices or inputs are not available, unobservable prices or inputs are used to estimate the fair value. The three levels of the fair value measurement hierarchy are as follows:

------

**LandBridge Company LLC and Subsidiaries**

**Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net of current expected credit losses, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to their highly liquid nature or short-term maturity.

The Company adjusts the carrying amount of certain non-financial assets, property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, to fair value on a non-recurring basis when impaired.

The fair value of debt is the estimated amount the Company would have to pay to transfer its debt, including any premium or discount attributable to the difference between the stated interest rate and market rate of interest at the balance sheet date. Refer to Note 6 — *Debt* for additional information.

## Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). This guidance further enhances income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. We plan to adopt this guidance and comply with the disclosure requirements when it becomes effective for our 2025 annual report. We are currently assessing the impact of this standard on our Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This guidance requires tabular disclosure of specified natural expenses in certain expense captions, a qualitative description of amounts that are not separately disaggregated, and disclosure of the Company's definition and total amount of selling expenses. We plan to adopt this guidance and comply with the disclosure requirements when it becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. We are currently assessing the impact of this standard on our Financial Statements and related disclosures.

**3.** **Asset Acquisitions**

On February 25, 2025, the Company acquired approximately 3,000 surface acres in Lea County, New Mexico, from a private third-party seller for total cash consideration of $17.1 million inclusive of $0.4 million in transaction costs. The purchase consideration was all attributed to land value.

On April 11, 2025, the Company acquired approximately 800 surface acres in Reeves County, Texas, from a private third-party seller for total cash consideration of $0.7 million, inclusive of $0.1 million in transaction costs. The purchase consideration was all attributed to land value.

**5.** **Income Taxes**

Our predecessor, OpCo, is a Delaware limited liability company treated as a partnership and, therefore, has not been subject to U.S. federal income tax at an entity level. As a result, the consolidated net income in our historical financial statements does not reflect the tax expense we would have incurred if we were subject to U.S. federal income tax at an entity level during the periods prior to the IPO. Instead, taxable income is allocated to members, including the Company, and, except for Texas franchise tax, any taxable income of OpCo is reported in the respective tax returns of its members.

In calculating the provision for income taxes on an interim basis, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon currently known facts and circumstances and applies that rate to its year-to-date earnings or losses. The Company's effective tax rate is based on expected income and statutory tax rates and takes into consideration permanent differences between financial statement and tax return income applicable to the Company in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

The calculation of our effective tax rate was as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three Months Ended September 30,** | **Three Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Income (loss) before income taxes | $22996 | $(3884) | $60680 | $(50523) |
| Income tax expense (benefit) | $2705 | $(1128) | $6455 | $(890) |
| Effective tax rate | 11.76% | 29.04% | 10.64% | 1.76% |

---

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the three months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the impact of the noncontrolling interest. The effective tax rate for the nine

------

**LandBridge Company LLC and Subsidiaries**

**Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)**

months ended September 30, 2024, was lower than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to pre-IPO activities, during which the Company was not subject to federal income tax.

On May 23, 2025, LandBridge Holdings redeemed 1,900,000 OpCo Units (together with the cancellation of 1,900,000 of Class B shares) for an equivalent amount of Class A Shares and subsequently sold the Class A Shares in a private transaction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act through a broker-dealer. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Class A Shares. The redemption and exchange of these OpCo Units is treated as a taxable purchase of the redeemed OpCo Units by the Company for U.S. federal and applicable state income tax purposes. As a result of this deemed purchase, the Company's tax basis in its share of the assets of OpCo increased and the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $30.1 million for this increase as it is expected to be recovered through future amortization deductions afforded to the Company. Because the deferred tax asset arose in connection with a transaction between the Company and its shareholders, the initial deferred tax asset is recorded in Class A shares on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company regularly evaluates all deferred tax assets as to their future realization using positive and negative evidence. As of September 30, 2025, the Company believes it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized and as a result, the Company has not recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

On July 4, 2025, the BBB Act was signed into law which makes permanent many of the tax provisions enacted in 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were set to expire at the end of 2025. The Company has evaluated the impact of the new legislation and has concluded it does not have a material impact on the results of operations.

**6.** **Debt**

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our debt consisted of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **September 30,** | **December 31,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
| Term loan | $349250 | $355000 |

| Total long-term debt | $366081 | $380815 |

---

(1)Unamortized debt issuance costs presented as a reduction to total debt are attributable to the Term Loan

## Credit Facilities
On July 3, 2023, the Company entered into (i) a four-year term loan (the "Term Loan"), and (ii) a four-year revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the Term Loan, the "Credit Facilities"), which were subsequently amended to, among other things, increase the principal amount of the Term Loan to $355.0 million and increase the available capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility to $100.0 million. Principal amounts borrowed under the Credit Facilities may be repaid from time to time without penalty. Any principal amounts outstanding on the maturity date, July 3, 2027, become due and payable on such date.

On October 3, 2025 (the "Amendment Effective Date"), DBR Land LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and subsidiary of the Company ("Borrower"), entered into the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "Amendment"), which amended the Term Loan. The Amendment provides for a new delayed draw term loan facility with total commitments of $200.0 million (the "DDTL Facility"). On November 10, 2025, Borrower borrowed $200.0 million under the DDTL Facility to partially fund the 1918 Acquisition and pay certain related expenses. The DDTL Facility included an unused commitment fee of 37.5 basis points that accrued from the Amendment Effective Date until November 10, 2025. See Note 11 — *Subsequent Events* for additional information regarding the 1918 Acquisition and exercise of the DDTL Facility.

We may elect for outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facilities to accrue interest at a rate based on either (i) a forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate ("Term SOFR Loans") plus 0.10%, or (ii) the base rate ("Base Rate Loans"), in each case plus an applicable margin. Borrowings under our Credit Facilities accrue interest based on a five-tiered pricing grid tied

------

**LandBridge Company LLC and Subsidiaries**

**Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)**

to our current leverage ratio. The applicable margin ranges are:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Pre-IPO** | **Post-IPO** |
| Term SOFR applicable margin | 3.00% - 4.00% | 2.75% - 3.75% |
| Base Rate applicable margin | 2.00% - 3.00% | 1.75% - 2.75% |
| Commitment fees | 0.50% | 0.375% - 0.500% |

---

Interest on all outstanding Term SOFR Loans is payable on the last day of each interest period. Interest on all outstanding Base Rate Loans is payable on the first day of each calendar quarter.

Our Credit Facilities are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets and the assets of our restricted subsidiaries, which are party to our Credit Facilities as guarantors.

Subject to certain exceptions and materiality qualifiers, our Credit Facilities include customary affirmative and negative covenants, which, among other things, restrict our ability and our restricted subsidiaries' ability, to incur debt, grant liens, make restricted payments, dividends and investments, issue equity, sell or lease assets, dissolve or merge with another entity, enter into transactions with affiliates or restrictive agreements, change our business, prepay debt and amend our organizational documents and material agreements. Our Credit Facilities allow us to make cash restricted payments to our shareholders in accordance with the Company's constituent documents, subject to the following conditions: (i) if the Company's pro forma leverage ratio is less than 3.50 to 1.00 for the most recently ended four-fiscal quarter period, so long as (A) no default or event of default exists or would result from such restricted payment and (B) the Company's pro forma liquidity is at least $10.0 million, and (ii) if the Company's pro forma leverage ratio is greater than 3.50 to 1.00 for the most recently ended four-fiscal quarter period, so long as (A) no default or event of default exists or would result from such restricted payment, (B) the Company's pro forma liquidity is at least $25.0 million, and (C) the Company's Distributable Free Cash Flow Amount is greater than $0 after giving effect to such restricted payment. "Distributable Free Cash Flow Amount" is the lesser of the Company's free cash flow for (x) the most recently ended four-fiscal quarter period and (y) the most recently ended two-fiscal quarter period, in each case minus the aggregate amount of certain restricted payments made during or after each such period.

In addition, we are required to comply with the following financial maintenance covenants: (i) a maximum leverage ratio as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of 4.00:1.00 for the period of the last four consecutive fiscal quarters (subject, in either case, to (x) a 0.50:1.00 leverage step-up for any "qualified acquisition" for the fiscal quarter in which such acquisition occurs and the immediately following two fiscal quarters, at the Company's election, and (y) a cap of 0.50:1.00 on such step-up regardless of the total number of "qualified acquisitions" consummated during such fiscal quarters and certain other limitations set forth therein); and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of at least 2.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter following the IPO.

Our Credit Facilities contain customary events of default, including for our failure and the failure of other loan parties to comply with the various financial, negative and affirmative covenants under our Credit Facilities (subject to the cure provisions set forth therein). During the existence of an event of default (as defined under our Credit Facilities), the agent, with the consent of or at the direction of the required lenders thereunder, has a right to, among other available remedies, terminate the commitments and/or declare all outstanding loans and accrued interest and fees under our Credit Facilities to be immediately due and payable.

The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2025.

The estimated fair value of our Credit Facilities approximates the principal amount outstanding because the interest rates applicable to such amounts are variable and reflective of market rates and the debt may be repaid, in full or in part, at any time without penalty.

**7.** **Shareholders' and Member's Equity**

**Shareholders' Equity**

Holders of Class A shares and Class B shares vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our shareholders, except as otherwise required by applicable law or by the A&R LLC Agreement. Class B shares are not entitled to participate in any dividends our Board may declare.

**Redemptions**

On May 23, 2025, LandBridge Holdings redeemed 1,900,000 OpCo Units (together with the cancellation of a corresponding number of Class B shares), for 1,900,000 Class A shares and subsequently sold such Class A shares at a price per share of $75.25 pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Company did not receive any proceeds or incur any material expenses from the sale of the Class A shares by LandBridge Holdings. See Note 5 — *Income Taxes* for additional information regarding the redemption.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, no Class B shares were redeemed for Class A shares.

**Cancellations**

In lieu of the payment of tax distributions by OpCo to the Company in excess of the Company's then-current income tax obligation, OpCo and the Company cancelled OpCo Units held by LandBridge Holdings, along with a corresponding number of Class B shares. The number of cancelled OpCo Units was determined based on the Company's volume weighted average Class A share price for each of the 10 consecutive trading days ending on and including the last full trading day immediately prior to the tax distribution date.

| Total share-based compensation expense | $11225 | $11624 | $33636 | $84196 |

---

Share-based compensation expense related to incentive units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, consists only of the Incentive Units. Share-based compensation expense related to incentive units for the three months ended September 30, 2024, consists of $9.8 million related to the Incentive Units, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, consists of $9.8 million related to the Incentive Units and $72.6 million related to the NDB Incentive Units. NDB Incentive Units were liability awards resulting in periodic fair value remeasurement prior to the Division. Following the Division, Incentive Units are equity awards and do not require periodic remeasurements. Any cash expense associated with Incentive Units will be borne solely by LandBridge Holdings LLC and not the Company. Such incentive units are not dilutive of public ownership.

## Incentive Units
A summary of Incentive Units activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is shown in the following table:

| Forfeited | - | - |  |
| Outstanding at September 30, 2025 | 30020 | $5130 | 1.2 |

---

As of September 30, 2025, remaining unrecognized compensation expense for the Incentive Units was $53.2 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average remaining period of approximately 1.7 years.

## Restricted Share Units
Under the LandBridge Company LLC Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"), participants were granted restricted share units ("RSUs") which are subject to graded vesting generally ranging from one to three years. The fair value of the awards is based on our Class A share price on the date of grant with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period.

A summary of RSU activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is shown in the following table:

---

(1)Included within the 267,894 RSUs that vested during the period, 86,285 RSUs were surrendered by employees to the Company to settle tax withholding requirements.

As of September 30, 2025, remaining unrecognized compensation expense for the RSUs was $16.2 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average remaining period of approximately 1.9 years.

**Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)**

**9.** **Earnings Per Share**

The Company's unvested RSUs are deemed to be participating securities; therefore, the Company applies the two-class method for the calculation of basic EPS for the Class A shares. Diluted EPS attributable to Class A shares is calculated under both the two-class method and the treasury stock method, and the more dilutive of the two calculations is presented.

Class B shares are considered potentially dilutive shares of Class A shares because Class B shares are convertible into Class A shares on a one-for-one basis; therefore, the Company applies the if-converted method for the calculation of diluted EPS for the Class A shares.

We determined that the presentation of EPS for the period prior to the IPO would not be meaningful due to the significant nature of the change to our capital structure as part of the IPO. Therefore, EPS information has not been presented for periods prior to the IPO.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS attributable to our Class A shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the three months ended September 30, 2024, which represents the periods subsequent to the IPO.

In addition, weighted-average RSUs were evaluated under the treasury stock method for potentially dilutive effects. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, weighted-average RSUs of 507,889 and 669,343, respectively, were determined to be anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, weighted-average RSUs of 637,877 were determined to be anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share.

**Overview**

Land is a fundamental requirement for the development and production of energy and the construction of critical infrastructure. As of September 30, 2025, we owned approximately 277,000 surface acres in and around the Delaware Basin sub-region in the prolific Permian Basin, which is the most active area for oil and natural gas exploration and development in the United States. Access to expansive surface acreage is necessary for oil and natural gas development, solar power generation, power storage, digital infrastructure and non-hazardous oilfield reclamation and solid waste facilities. Further, the significant industrial economy that exists to service and support energy and infrastructure development requires access to surface acreage to support those activities. Our strategy is to actively manage our land and resources to support and encourage energy and infrastructure development and other land uses that will generate long-term revenue and Free Cash Flow for us and returns to our shareholders.

We share a legacy financial sponsor, Five Point, and our management team with WaterBridge. WaterBridge is a leading integrated, pure-play water infrastructure company that operates a large-scale network of pipelines and other infrastructure in the Delaware Basin. These relationships provide our shared management team visibility into key areas of oil and natural gas production and long-term trends, which we leverage to encourage and support the development of critical infrastructure on our land and generate additional revenue for us. We receive royalties for each barrel of produced water that WaterBridge handles on our land as well as surface use payments for infrastructure constructed on our land.

**Recent Developments**

***Purchase, Sale and Contribution Agreement***

On October 3, 2025, the Company, OpCo and 1918 Ranch & Royalty, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, ("Contributor") entered into a Purchase, Sale and Contribution Agreement (the "Contribution Agreement"), pursuant to which OpCo agreed to acquire approximately 37,500 total acres across Reeves, Loving, Winkler and Ward counties, Texas, and certain related assets (the "1918 Acquisition") for an aggregate purchase price of $250.0 million, consisting of approximately $208.3 million in cash and approximately $41.7 million in units representing limited liability company interests in OpCo ("OpCo Units") (together with an equal number of Class B shares representing limited liability company interests in the Company ("Class B shares"), based on a 10-day volume weighted average price of Class A shares representing limited liability company interests in the Company prior to closing, subject to customary purchase price adjustments and closing conditions.

------

On November 12, 2025, OpCo completed the 1918 Acquisition. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, OpCo (i) paid Contributor approximately $208.3 million in cash, consisting of approximately $200.0 million drawn under the DDTL Facility, approximately $5.0 million drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility and approximately $3.3 million in available cash, and (ii) issued 657,411 OpCo Units to Contributor (together with an equal number of Class B shares). The Company applied a deposit of approximately $10.0 million against the purchase price for the 1918 Acquisition at closing.

The Contribution Agreement contains representations, warranties and other provisions that were made only for purposes of the Contribution Agreement and as of specific dates and were solely for the benefit of the parties thereto. The Contribution Agreement is a contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relations among the parties thereto and is not intended to be a source of factual, business or operational information about the Company, OpCo, the Contributor or the assets to be acquired from the Contributor. The representations and warranties made by the Company and the Contributor in the Contribution Agreement may be (i) qualified by disclosure schedules containing information that modifies, qualifies or creates exceptions to such representations and warranties and (ii) subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances.

***Third Amendment to Credit Agreement***

On October 3, 2025 (the "Amendment Effective Date"), DBR Land LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of the Company (the "Borrower"), entered into the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "Amendment") with the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and Texas Capital Bank, as administrative agent and letter of credit issuer (the "Administrative Agent"), which amends that certain credit agreement, dated July 3, 2023 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the "Existing Credit Agreement", and the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, the "Credit Agreement") among the Borrower, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and the Administrative Agent. The Amendment provides for a new delayed draw term loan facility with total commitments of $200.0 million for the purpose of partially financing the 1918 Acquisition and to pay certain related costs and expenses (the "DDTL Facility").

On November 10, 2025, the Borrower drew in full the $200.0 million available under the DDTL Facility to partially fund the 1918 Acquisition and pay certain related expenses. The DDTL Facility included an unused commitment fee of 37.5 basis points that accrued from the Amendment Effective Date until November 10, 2025, applied to the average daily unused amount of the DDTL Facility.

**Market Condition and Outlook**

Over the last several years, the global economy, and more specifically the oil and natural gas industry, has experienced significant volatility, impacted by global conflicts, such as the Russia-Ukraine war, heightened tensions in the Middle East, domestic political activity, including the potential for a prolonged U.S. federal government shutdown, the BBB Act, tariffs, foreign trade policies and international trade conflicts, the activities of OPEC, and elevated inflation, interest rates and costs of capital and industry consolidation. High levels of activity in the Delaware Basin have resulted in industry consolidation and labor and supply chain challenges, which has impacted drilling, completion and production activity. This volatility has driven material swings in WTI pricing, which has subsequently impacted development and production decisions of E&P companies.

Global macroeconomic developments, such as the aforementioned BBB Act and the development or change in international trade policies, including the imposition of U.S. and/or foreign tariffs, may adversely affect our customers' ability to source raw materials and, as a result, reduce their activity on or around our land. As a result, any trading disruption (such as tariffs, product restrictions, etc.) in the trading relationships between the U.S. and other nations may adversely impact our business. A prolonged U.S. federal government shutdown may also impact our customers' ability to access capital markets and/or acquire necessary governmental approvals or permits for the operation of their businesses.

Despite these challenges, we believe the outlook for energy and infrastructure development, particularly within the Permian Basin, remains positive. Additionally, such development may be aided by President Trump's various Executive Orders relating to energy production, which include expedited approvals for energy resource infrastructure as well as the removal of various impediments to the development of domestic energy resources, including oil and gas. We are well-positioned to benefit from the continued build out of supporting infrastructure in the region which will require access to surface acreage. In addition, we expect to benefit from advancements in alternative forms of energy. While these incentives could further accelerate the transition of the U.S. economy away from the use of fossil fuels, alternative energy technologies often require access to material surface acreage and supporting infrastructure, which we are also well positioned to provide and facilitate.

**How We Generate Revenue**

We generate revenue from multiple sources, including the use of our surface acreage, the sale of resources from our land and oil and gas and mineral royalties. The fees, royalty rates, payment structure and other related terms in our contracts are negotiated on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the surface use of our land, the type of resources extracted, the amount of use expected to be made of our land, and the amount of resources to be produced and/or extracted. In any given period, the amount and sources of revenues we receive from any particular customer can fluctuate based on the nature, timing and scope of such customer's activities on our land. For example, during the initial phase of a customer's activities on our land, we would generally expect to receive usage-based fees and revenues under our surface use royalty agreements ("SURAs") and surface use agreements ("SUAs") related to installation of infrastructure necessary to support long-term operations. Over time, these revenues would generally be expected to migrate to royalty revenue and resource sales based on such customer's use of our land and resources. Our revenue consists of the principal components discussed below.

**Surface Use Royalties and Revenues**

***Surface Use Royalties***. We enter into SURAs and certain overarching SUAs with operators that require royalty payments to us based on a percentage of the customer's gross revenues derived from use of our land and/or volumetric use of infrastructure installed on our land in exchange for rights of use of our land. Royalties we receive pursuant to SURAs include produced water transportation and handling operations, skim oil recovery and waste reclamation. Our SURAs generally have terms ranging from a minimum of five years to 10 years, impose only nominal obligations on us, typically do not include minimum purchase or use commitments by our customers and generally provide for automatic renewal-based increases in royalties that are tied to the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") or are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

***Easements and other surface-related income***. SUAs permit operators to install drilling sites, pipelines, roadways, electric lines and other facilities and equipment on land owned by us. We typically receive a per-rod or per-acre fee when the contract is executed, based on the aggregate amount of our land that is utilized under such SUA, and we often receive additional fees at the beginning of each renewal period or on a monthly or annual basis. Our SUAs generally require our customers to use the resources from our land, such as brackish water and sand, for their operations on our land, for which we receive our customary fees. Our SUAs generally have terms ranging from a minimum of five years to 10 years, with early termination rights for non-use over a pre-determined period of time, typically 12 to 18 months, typically do not include minimum commitments with respect to the type and amount of infrastructure to be installed on our property or the amount of revenue to be received by us and generally provide for automatic renewal-based increases in royalties that are tied to the CPI or negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

**Resource Sales and Royalties**

***Resource Sales***. Resource sales generally include brackish water to be used primarily in well completions in exchange for a per barrel fee, which is negotiated and varies depending on the destination of the brackish water. Similarly, our customers buy other surface composite materials from us for the construction of access roads and well pads for which we receive a fixed-fee per cubic yard extracted from our surface acreage. Our agreements related to the sale of resources generally have terms ranging from a minimum of five years to 10 years, with early termination rights for non-use over a pre-determined period of time, typically 12 to 18 months.

***Resource Royalties***. We lease our surface acreage to customers to construct and operate, at their expense, brackish water wells and sand mines to provide in-basin water and sand for use in oil and natural gas completion operations. Such customers hold the exclusive right to the water and sand extracted from the leased surface acreage and may be required to make minimum royalty payments as a result. The agreements pursuant to which we receive resource royalties have varying primary terms of at least one year, contain rights for renewal so long as the customer continues to operate on our land and generally do not impose minimum production requirements on our customers. We typically receive a fee when the contract is executed and a fixed royalty per barrel of water or ton of sand extracted. In situations where our customers do not operate brackish water wells on our surface but require the use of water for their operations, customers generally must acquire such water from us for our customary fee.

**Oil and Gas Royalties**

***Oil and Gas Royalties***. Oil and gas royalties are received in connection with oil and natural gas mineral interests owned by us. Oil and gas royalties are recognized as revenue as oil and gas are produced or severed from the mineral lease. The oil and gas royalties we receive are dependent upon producer-specific location, contractual price differences and market prices for oil and natural gas, which, given such prices' volatility, may cause our oil and gas royalties to fluctuate. Oil and gas royalties also include mineral lease bonus revenues, which we receive by leasing our mineral interests to E&P companies. When we execute a mineral lease contract, the lease generally transfers the rights to any oil or natural gas discovered to the E&P company and grants us the right to a specified royalty interest payable on future production.

------

We expect our fee-based revenues to grow over time relative to our oil and gas royalties. While our focus is on fee-based arrangements, our oil and gas royalties fluctuate with market prices for oil and natural gas. The following table presents the amount and relative percentage of each component of our revenues for the following periods:

---

Our revenues depend heavily on our customers' activities on and around our land and may vary significantly from period to period as a result of the development of new revenue streams, fluctuations in commodity prices, regulatory developments, including policies related to tariffs and international trade, changes in volumes produced on our land and our acquisition strategy. For example, oil and natural gas prices have historically been volatile and highly susceptible to macroeconomic and geopolitical developments. Lower commodity prices may decrease our revenues as customers on and around our land decrease their activity levels in response to low commodity prices. Although we intend to pursue additional opportunities to increase our revenue streams and introduce additional revenue components, including through conventional and renewable power generation and storage projects, water treatment and desalination facilities, fueling stations, digital infrastructure, telecommunication towers and equipment and other opportunities, there can be no assurance that such revenue streams will materially diversify our revenue streams.

**Costs of Conducting Our Business**

Our costs consist primarily of resource sales-related expenses, other operating and maintenance expenses to maintain our surface acreage and general administrative expenses. Our principal costs are as follows:

***Resource Sales-Related Expenses***. Resource sales-related expenses are costs incurred for utilization and maintenance of our assets and facilities in the extraction or production of resources available on our land that are sold by us. These costs generally include utilities to operate our facilities and assets and repairs and maintenance expenses related to those assets.

***Other Operating and Maintenance Expenses***. Operating and maintenance expenses are costs incurred for maintaining our surface acreage and other assets, including field operating overhead and supervision, production taxes, insurance costs, ad valorem and property taxes, and repairs and maintenance expense.

***General and Administrative Expenses***. General and administrative expenses include a corporate shared services allocation from WaterBridge, directly incurred corporate costs and share-based compensation expense. Corporate shared services generally include the cost of shared management and administrative services. The corporate shared service allocation is based on an approximation of time spent on activities supporting us as well as by underlying business activities. The shared service allocation expense is reimbursed to WaterBridge through our shared services agreement. Direct corporate costs are incurred for direct corporate employees, including payroll, benefits and other employee-related expenses of our direct corporate staff, professional services that generally consist of audit, tax, legal and valuation services and expenses for corporate insurance policies.

Prior to the IPO, share-based compensation expense only included expense allocated to us for NDB LLC's Incentive Unit plan. The NDB Incentive Unit awards were classified as liability awards by NDB LLC and required periodic remeasurement. On July 1, 2024, in accordance with the Division, in which NDB LLC was divided into two Delaware limited liability companies, the holders of the NDB Incentive Units were issued an identical number of Incentive Units at LandBridge Holdings. As of the date of the Division, the Incentive Units held at LandBridge Holdings are the only incentive units attributable to and allocated to the Company. The Incentive

------

Units are accounted for as a modification and have been transitioned to equity award accounting and, as such, do not require periodic remeasurements. The share-based compensation for the Incentive Units is fully allocated to the noncontrolling interest as the contractual obligation to satisfy the Incentive Units exists at LandBridge Holdings and any actual cash expense associated with such Incentive Units is borne solely by LandBridge Holdings and not the Company.

In connection with the IPO, our Board adopted the LandBridge Company LLC Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"), which allows for the grant of options, SARs, RSUs, share awards, dividend equivalents, other share-based awards, cash awards, substitute awards or any combination thereof. Under the LTIP, participants have been granted RSUs. Share-based compensation associated with RSUs is allocated between the Company and the noncontrolling interest based on relative ownership. Substantially all share-based compensation is included in general and administrative expense with an immaterial amount included in other operating and maintenance expense on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations prior to allocation to the noncontrolling interest. See Note 8 — *Share-Based Compensation* within the notes to our Financial Statements for additional information regarding share-based compensation.

**How We Evaluate Our Operations**

We use a variety of financial and operational metrics to assess the performance of our business.

***Revenue***

Revenue is a key performance metric of our company. We analyze realized monthly, quarterly and annual revenues and compare the results against our internal projections and budgets. Results are used to validate, or when applicable update, existing assumptions on macroeconomic drivers of our business, contractual mix driving average unit-level revenues and E&P customer development activity and commodity pricing, absent the impact of our operating costs.

***Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin***

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are used by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, research analysts and others, to assess the financial performance of our assets over the long term to generate sufficient cash to return capital to equity holders or service indebtedness. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest; taxes; depreciation, amortization, depletion and accretion; share-based compensation; non-recurring transaction-related expenses and other non-cash or non-recurring expenses. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful because these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures allow us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period, and against our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods, book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. See "*—* Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for reconciliations and additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures.

***Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin***

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin are used by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, research analysts and others, to assess our ability to repay our indebtedness, return capital to our shareholders and fund potential acquisitions without access to external sources of financing for such purposes. We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operating activities less investment in capital expenditures. We define Free Cash Flow Margin as Free Cash Flow divided by total revenues.

Management believes Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin are useful because these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures allow for an effective evaluation of both our operating and financial performance, as well as the capital intensity of our business, and subsequently the ability of our operations to generate cash flow that is available to distribute to our shareholders, reduce leverage or support acquisition activities. See "*—* Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for reconciliations and additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures.

------

**Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations**

Our future results of operations may not be comparable to our predecessor's results of operations for the periods presented, primarily for the reasons described below.

***Public Company Costs***

As a result of the IPO, we incurred incremental, non-recurring costs related to our transition to a publicly traded and taxable entity, including the costs of the IPO and the costs associated with the implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley Act internal controls and testing. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur additional significant and recurring expenses as a publicly traded company, including costs associated with SEC reporting and compliance requirements, consisting of the preparation and filing of annual and quarterly reports, registrar and transfer agent fees, national stock exchange fees, audit fees, legal fees, investor relations expenses, incremental director and officer liability insurance costs and director and officer compensation expenses. These expenses are not included in our results of operations prior to the IPO. Additionally, we have hired additional employees and consultants, including accounting and legal personnel, in order to comply with the requirements of being a publicly traded company.

***Corporate Reorganization***

We were formed to serve as the issuer in the IPO and had no previous operations, assets or liabilities. The historical consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report are based on the financial statements of our accounting predecessor, OpCo, prior to the Corporate Reorganization in connection with the IPO. As a result, the historical consolidated financial data may not give you an accurate indication of what our actual results would have been if the Corporate Reorganization had been completed at the beginning of the periods presented or of what our future results of operations are likely to be.

***Long Term Incentive Plan***

In order to incentivize individuals providing services to us or our affiliates, our Board adopted the LTIP for employees and directors. Any individual who is our officer or employee or an officer or employee of any of our affiliates, and any other person who provides services to us or our affiliates, including our directors, may be eligible to receive awards under the LTIP at the discretion of our Board or a committee thereof, as applicable. The LTIP provides for the grant, from time to time, at the discretion of our Board, or a committee thereof, of options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, share awards, dividend equivalents, other share-based awards, cash awards, substitute awards and performance awards intended to align the interests of employees, directors and service providers with those of our shareholders. As such, our historical financial data may not present an accurate indication of what our actual results would have been if we had implemented the LTIP prior to the periods presented within.

***Acquisitions***

Subsequent to the third quarter of 2024, we acquired approximately 78,900 surface acres through the consummation of various acquisitions, including the 1918 Acquisition, which will impact the comparability of our results of operations. We expect to pursue opportunistic future land acquisitions that compliment or expand our current land position, which may impact the comparability of our results.

***Income Taxes***

Prior to the IPO, OpCo and its subsidiaries were primarily entities that were treated as partnerships or disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes but were subject to certain minimal Texas franchise taxes. One of our subsidiaries is a qualified REIT for federal income tax purposes. There is no tax imposed on a REIT as long as the REIT complies with the applicable tax rules and avails itself of the opportunity to reduce its taxable income through distributions. A REIT must comply with a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it must pay at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders.

As a result of our predominately non-taxable structure historically, income taxes on taxable income or losses realized by our predecessor, OpCo, were generally the obligation of the individual members or partners. Accordingly, the financial data attributable to our predecessor, OpCo, contains no provision for U.S. federal income taxes or income taxes in any state or locality (other than margin tax in the State of Texas). Following consummation of the IPO, although we are a limited liability company, we have elected to be taxed as a corporation and are subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on our allocable share of the income and loss of OpCo.

*Total revenues*. Total revenues increased by $22.3 million. Please see our discussion below regarding comparative period variances in revenue sources.

*Surface use royalties*. Surface use royalties increased by $8.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to increased produced water handling and associated skim oil royalties of $8.4 million and industrial waste handling royalties of $0.1 million on our surface for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase associated with produced water handling royalties is primarily driven by a significant increase in produced water handling volume of approximately 726 Mbbl/d related to our acquisitions in 2024 coupled with organic growth.

*Easements and other surface-related revenues*. Easements and other surface-related revenues increased by $10.0 million. The increase was primarily attributable to road easements of $4.5 million, oil and natural gas gathering and transportation pipelines and produced water handling infrastructure of $1.9 million, $1.8 million related to surface and subsurface drilling location easements and $1.8 million in other surface easements for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

*Resource royalties*. Resource royalties increased by $1.4 million. The increase was primarily attributable to brackish water royalties of $0.9 million as a result of the Wolf Bone Ranch Acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2024. Additionally, sand mine royalties increased $0.5 million primarily related to higher throughput volumes.

*General and administrative expense*. General and administrative expense, excluding share-based compensation expense, decreased by $5.9 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower employee-related expenses of $4.6 million due to an IPO discretionary bonus and a $2.6 million contract termination payment made during the three months ended September 30, 2024, partially offset by increased corporate shared services allocation from WaterBridge of $0.7 million supporting underlying growth of the business and

------

higher professional services fees of $0.8 million associated with transitioning to a publicly-traded company and costs associated with commercial activities.

*Income tax expense (benefit), net*. Income tax expense increased by $3.8 million. The increase was primarily due to a shift from a $3.9 million loss from consolidated operations before taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2024, which resulted in an income tax benefit for the period, to $23.0 million in income from operations before taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

---

*Total revenues*. Total revenues increased by $68.9 million. Please see our discussion below regarding comparative period variances in revenue sources.

*Surface use royalties*. Surface use royalties increased by $31.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to increased produced water handling and associated skim oil royalties of $30.6 million and industrial waste handling royalties of $0.9 million on our surface for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase associated with produced water handling royalties was primarily driven by a significant increase in produced water handling volume of approximately 852 Mbbl/d related to our acquisitions in 2024 coupled with organic growth.

*Easements and other surface-related revenues*. Easements and other surface-related revenues increased by $23.7 million. The increase was primarily attributable to $9.1 million related to oil and natural gas gathering and transportation pipelines and produced water handling infrastructure, $5.2 million related to road easements, $4.3 million related to surface and subsurface drilling location easements, $2.6 million related to the expansion of an existing industrial waste facility surface use agreement and $2.5 million in other surface easements for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

------

*Resource sales*. Resource sales increased by $6.0 million. Brackish water sales increased $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Brackish water sales volume increased by 5.8 million barrels, or 21%, to 33.6 million barrels for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 27.8 million barrels for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the timing of upstream drilling and completion operations in the area surrounding our surface acreage. Additionally, the per unit sales price increased by approximately 9%, primarily driven by the customer contract mix for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Caliche sales increased $2.5 million for the same comparative period, primarily due to construction of energy infrastructure in the areas surrounding our surface acreage.

*Resource royalties*. Resource royalties increased by $8.1 million. The increase was primarily attributable to brackish water royalties of $7.1 million as a result of the acquisition of approximately 103,000 surface acres in Loving and Winkler Counties, Texas, and Lea County, New Mexico, from a private third-party (the "East Stateline Ranch Acquisition") in the second quarter of 2024 and the acquisition of approximately 46,000 largely contiguous surface acres in the Southern Delaware Basin (the "Wolf Bone Ranch Acquisition") in the fourth quarter of 2024. Additionally, sand mine royalties increased $1.0 million primarily related to higher throughput volumes.

*Oil and gas royalties*. Oil and gas royalties decreased by $2.1 million, which consists of decreased royalty income of $1.0 million attributable to lower volume and $0.8 million attributable to lower commodity prices as well as decreased mineral bonus payments of $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The table below provides operational and financial data by oil and gas royalty stream for the periods indicated.

*General and administrative expense*. General and administrative expense, excluding share-based compensation expense, decreased by $2.1 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower employee-related expenses of $4.2 million due to an IPO discretionary bonus in 2024, partially offset by increased corporate shared services allocation from WaterBridge of $2.2 million supporting underlying growth of the business.

Share-based compensation expense decreased by $50.7 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased expense related to incentive unit expense of $55.4 million, partially offset by expense of $4.7 million related to RSU awards issued subsequent to the IPO in 2024. The incentive units expense decrease is primarily due to the periodic remeasurements of the NDB Incentive Units prior to the Division of $72.6 million when the awards were accounted for as liability awards and new issuances and post-modification equity award accounting amortization of $17.2 million. See Note 8 — *Share-Based Compensation* within the notes to our Financial Statements.

*Interest expense, net*. Interest expense, net, increased by $7.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher weighted-average debt balances under our Credit Facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, partially offset by slightly lower interest rates. See "*— Liquidity and Capital Resources*" for additional information regarding the Company's debt instruments and interest expense.

*Income tax expense (benefit), net*. Income tax expense increased by $7.3 million. The increase was primarily due to a shift from a $50.5 million loss from consolidated operations before taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which resulted in an income tax benefit for the period, to $60.7 million in income from operations before taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Additionally, for periods prior to the IPO the Company was not subject to federal income tax.

(1)Share-based compensation - Incentive Units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, consists only of the Incentive Units. Share-based compensation - Incentive Units for the three months ended September 30, 2024 consists only of the Incentive Units, and the nine months ended September 30, 2024 consists of $72.6 million related to the NDB Incentive Units and $9.8 million related to the Incentive Units. NDB Incentive Units were liability awards resulting in periodic fair value remeasurement prior to the Division. Subsequent to the IPO, any actual cash expense associated with such Incentive Units is borne solely by LandBridge Holdings and not the Company. Distributions attributable to Incentive Units are based on returns received by investors of LandBridge Holdings once certain return thresholds have been met and are neither an obligation of the Company nor taken into consideration for distributions to investors in the Company.

(2)Transaction-related expenses consist of non-capitalizable transaction costs associated with both completed or attempted acquisitions, debt amendments, entity structuring and non-capitalizable IPO-related charges.

(3)Non-recurring expenses consist primarily of $5.0 million in IPO-related employee bonuses and $2.6 million related to a contract termination payment.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***Overview***

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities and, if required, proceeds from borrowings under our Credit Facilities. Our primary liquidity and capital requirements will be for our operating expenses, servicing of our debt, the payment of dividends and distributions to our shareholders, if any, general company needs and investing in our business, including the potential acquisition of additional surface acreage. Although we believe that we will be able to partially or fully fund our short-term and long-term capital expenditures, working capital requirements and other capital needs with cash on hand and cash flows from operating activities, we may elect to use borrowings under our credit facilities to finance our operating and investing activities. See "*— Debt Instruments — Credit Facilities*."

We strive to maintain financial flexibility and proactively monitor potential capital sources, including equity and debt financing, to meet our target liquidity and capital requirements. If market conditions were to change and our revenues were to decline significantly or operating costs were to increase, our cash flows and liquidity could be reduced and we could be required to seek alternative financing sources. As of September 30, 2025, we had a working capital surplus, defined as current assets less current liabilities, of $43.6 million and we had cash and cash equivalents of $28.3 million. As of December 31, 2024, we had a working capital surplus of $38.9 million and cash and cash equivalents of $37.0 million.

On November 10, 2025, our board of directors declared a dividend on our Class A shares of $0.10 per share, payable on December 18, 2025 to shareholders of record as of December 4, 2025, and a corresponding required cash distribution to OpCo unitholders.

***Cash Flow***

The following tables summarizes our cash flow for the periods indicated:

***Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024***

|  | **2025** | **2024** | **Amount** | **Percent** |
| **Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow Data:** |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net cash provided by operating activities | $88157 | $40708 | $47449 | 117% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net cash used in investing activities | (21053) | (432021) | 410968 | 95% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities | (75820) | 367907 | (443727) | (121%) |
| Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | $(8716) | $(23406) | $14690 | 63% |

---

*Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities*. Net cash provided by operating activities increased $47.4 million. The increase was attributable to cash flow related to higher net income, net of non-cash items, of $58.7 million partially offset by a decrease in cash flow attributable to working capital accounts of $11.3 million. The increase in net income, net of non-cash items, is primarily attributable to revenue growth related to continued commercialization of acreage, including land acquired during 2024. The decrease in cash flow from working capital accounts is attributable to higher accounts receivable related to growth in our revenues, and federal tax deposits made related to the 2025 tax year, partially offset by deferred revenues associated with timing of cash received for easements or easement renewals and the related effective dates of such agreements.

*Net Cash Used in Investing Activities*. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $411.0 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower acquisition and acquisition-related expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $18.8 million as compared to $431.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. See Note 3 — *Asset Acquisitions* within the notes to our Financial Statements.

------

*Net Cash (Used In) Provided by Financing Activities*. Net cash used in financing activities increased $443.7 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of $52.8 million of dividends, dividend equivalents and distributions paid to shareholders, $16.2 million of debt repayments, net of proceeds, $5.7 million of required tax withholding related to the net settlement of Class A shares, and $1.1 million of offering costs paid related to the December 2024 private placement. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash provided by financing activities primarily consisted of $271.3 million of net proceeds from the IPO, and $147.5 million of debt proceeds, net of repayments and issuance costs. These proceeds were partially offset by net distributions to member prior to the Corporate Reorganization of $50.9 million.

***Capital Requirements***

We focus our business model on entering into agreements under which our customers bear substantially all of the operating and capital expenditures related to their operations on our land, while minimizing our capital requirements for both current and future commercial opportunities, resulting in the ability to create significant free cash flows. Our contracts generally include inflation escalators, which, when combined with our relatively low operating and capital expenditures, may assist in mitigating our exposure to broader inflationary pressures. As a landowner, we incur the initial cost to acquire our acreage, but thereafter we incur modest development capital expenditures and operating expenses as it relates to operations on our land or our mineral and royalty interests, as such expenses are borne primarily by our customers. As a result, we expect that additional significant capital expenditures would be related to our acquisition of additional surface acreage should we elect to do so.

The amount and allocation of future acquisition-related capital expenditures will depend upon a number of factors, including the size of the acquisition opportunity, our cash flows from operating activities and our investing and financing activities. There were no acquisition-related capital expenditures during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and $0.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. There were $18.8 million and $431.3 million of acquisition-related capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We periodically assess changes in current and projected cash flows, acquisition and divestiture activities and other factors to determine the effects on our liquidity. We believe that our cash on hand and cash flow from operating activities will provide us with sufficient liquidity to execute our current strategy. However, our ability to generate cash is subject to a number of factors that may directly or indirectly affect us, many of which are beyond our control, including commodity prices and general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors. If we require additional capital for acquisitions or other reasons, we may seek such capital through traditional borrowings under our debt instruments, offerings of debt and equity securities or other means. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us.

As our Board declares cash dividends to our Class A shareholders, we expect the dividend to be paid from Free Cash Flow. We do not currently expect to borrow funds or to adjust planned capital expenditures to finance dividends on our Class A shares, if any such dividends were to be declared by our Board. The timing, amount and financing of dividends, if any, will be subject to the discretion of our Board from time to time.

***Debt Instruments***

*Credit Facilities*

On July 3, 2023, the Company entered into (i) a four-year term loan (the "Term Loan"), and (ii) a four-year revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the Term Loan, the "Credit Facilities"), which were subsequently amended. Our Credit Facilities are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets and the assets of our restricted subsidiaries, which are party to our Credit Facilities as guarantors. Our Credit Facilities include certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, which, among other things, restrict our ability and our restricted subsidiaries' ability, subject to certain exceptions, to incur debt, grant liens, make restricted payments and investments, issue equity, sell or lease assets, dissolve or merge with another entity, enter into transactions with affiliates or restrictive agreements, change our business, prepay debt and amend our organizational documents and material agreements. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2025. See Note 6 *— Debt* within the notes to our Financial Statements for further information with respect to such affirmative and restrictive covenants.

As of September 30, 2025, we had $369.3 million of outstanding borrowings consisting of $20.0 million of revolving credit borrowings and $349.3 million of term loan borrowings. As of September 30, 2025, we have $80.0 million remaining in available commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rate on the total amount of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facilities for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 7.60% in the case of the revolving credit borrowings and 7.49% in the case of term loan borrowings. The weighted average interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 7.70% in the case of revolving credit borrowings and 7.62% in the case of term loan borrowings.

------

On October 3, 2025, the Borrower entered into the Amendment with the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and the Administrative Agent, which amends the Existing Credit Agreement, among the Borrower, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and the Administrative Agent. The Amendment provides for a new DDTL Facility for the purpose of partially financing the 1918 Acquisition and to pay certain related costs and expenses.

On November 10, 2025, the Borrower drew in full the $200.0 million available under the DDTL Facility to partially fund the 1918 Acquisition and pay certain related expenses. The DDTL Facility included an unused commitment fee of 37.5 basis points that accrued from the Amendment Effective Date until November 10, 2025, applied to the average daily unused amount of the DDTL Facility.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted**

For a summary of recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 — *Summary of Significant Accounting Policies* within the notes to our Financial Statements.

**Internal Controls and Procedures**

We are required to comply with the SEC's rules implementing Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires our management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We will not be required to make our first assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 until our second annual report on Form 10-K.

Further, our independent registered public accounting firm is not yet required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and will not be required to do so for as long as we are an "emerging growth company" and/or a "smaller reporting company" under applicable federal securities laws.

**Off Balance Sheet Arrangements**

We currently have no material off-balance sheet arrangements.

**Emerging Growth Company Status**

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies." We may take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an "emerging growth company." Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and as a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. We may take advantage of these exemptions up until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue, we have more than $700.0 million in market value of our stock held by non-affiliates (and we have been a public company for at least 12 months and have filed one annual report on Form 10-K) or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt securities over a three-year period.

------

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

We are exposed to market risks, which include the effects of adverse changes in commodity prices and counterparty and customer credit risks and interest rate risk as described below. The primary objective of the following information is to provide quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term "market risk" refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices and counterparty and customer credit and interest rate risk. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures.

***Interest Rate Risks***

Our ability to borrow and the rates offered by lenders can be adversely affected by deterioration in the credit markets and/or deterioration of our credit profile rating. We may elect for outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities to accrue interest at a rate based on either the Term SOFR, or the base rate, plus an applicable margin, which exposes us to interest rate risk to the extent we have borrowings outstanding under our credit facilities.

As of September 30, 2025, we had $369.3 million of outstanding borrowings consisting of $20.0 million of revolving credit borrowings and $349.3 million of term loan borrowings. The weighted average interest rate on the borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facilities for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 7.60% in the case of revolving credit borrowings, and 7.49% in the case of term loan borrowings. The weighted average interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 7.70% in the case of revolving credit borrowings, and 7.62% in the case of term loan borrowings. Assuming no change in the amount outstanding, the impact on interest expense of a 1.0% increase or decrease in the weighted average interest rate would be $3.7 million per year. We do not currently have or intend to enter into any derivative hedge contracts to protect against fluctuations in interest rates applicable to our outstanding indebtedness. See "*— Debt Instruments — Credit Facilities*."

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

**Disclosure Controls and Procedures** 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

**Internal Control over Financial Reporting** 

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II – OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings**

We are periodically party to proceedings and claims incidental to our business. While many of these other matters may not be predicted with certainty, we believe that the liability, if any, ultimately incurred with respect to such other proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or on our liquidity, capital resources, future results of operations or cash flows. We will continue to evaluate proceedings and claims involving us on a regular basis and will establish and adjust any estimated reserves as appropriate to reflect our assessment of the then current status of the matters.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the 2024 Form 10-K.

The Contribution Agreement contains representations, warranties and other provisions that were made only for purposes of the Contribution Agreement and as of specific dates and were solely for the benefit of the parties thereto. The Contribution Agreement is a contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relations among the parties thereto and is not intended to be a source of factual, business or operational information about the Company, OpCo, the Contributor or the assets to be acquired from the Contributor. The representations and warranties made by the Company and the Contributor in the Contribution Agreement may be (i) qualified by disclosure schedules containing information that modifies, qualifies or creates exceptions to such representations and warranties and (ii) subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances.

***(b) Material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the board of directors.***

None.

***(c) Trading Arrangements and policies.*** 

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, none of our officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) or directors adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as each term is defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K.

At Closing, with respect to each Environmental Condition for which Contributor has not cured or remediated, or only partially cured or remediated, on or before Closing, the following shall apply: (i) if the aggregate amount of all the estimated costs and expenses to remediate each Environmental Condition based upon the most cost-effective remediation required or allowed to bring the Assets into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws (such amount, the "**Remediation Amount**") is less than or equal to [\*\*\*] (the "**Environmental Deductible**"), the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and Acquiror shall take title to the Assets subject to such Environmental Conditions and without reduction of the Unadjusted Cash Consideration, and (ii) if the aggregate Remediation Amount for all Environmental Conditions is in excess of the Environmental Deductible, then, only to the extent the aggregate Remediation Amount exceeds the Environmental Deductible, Acquiror shall be entitled to a corresponding reduction to the Unadjusted Cash Consideration; provided that if the aggregate Remediation Amount would result in a reduction to the

------

Unadjusted Cash Consideration in excess of [\*\*\*] (the "**Environmental Termination Threshold**"), Acquiror or Contributor may elect, each in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement before Closing, at which point the provisions of <u>Section 10.1</u> and <u>Section 10.2</u> shall apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Parties will attempt in good faith to agree on matters regarding: (i) all Environmental Conditions and the associated Remediation Amounts, and (ii) the adequacy of any curative or remedial action taken by Contributor to cure or remediate any alleged Environmental Condition (the "**Disputed Environmental Matters**") prior to Closing. If the Parties are unable to agree prior to Closing, then the Disputed Environmental Matters will be exclusively and finally resolved pursuant to this <u>Section 4.3</u>. For any Disputed Environmental Matters not resolved by Closing, the Unadjusted Cash Consideration shall be decreased at Closing by the Remediation Amount asserted in good faith by Acquiror (after giving effect to any partial cure or remediation thereof agreed to by the Parties).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)If the parties are unable to agree as to the matters set forth in <u>Section 4.3(b)</u>, a single environmental arbitrator, who must be an environmental attorney licensed in Texas with at least 10 years' experience in oil and gas environmental matters involving properties in the State of Texas and may not be a current or former Representative of any Party or its Affiliates or a Person that has previously performed (or is a part of a firm that has previously performed) work for any Party or its Affiliates and does not otherwise have any financial interest in the Disputed Environmental Matter (the "**Environmental Arbitrator**"), will be selected by mutual agreement of the Parties no later than two (2) Business Days after Closing, or, absent such agreement, by the Midland, Texas, office of the American Arbitration Association.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)The arbitration proceeding will be held in Midland, Texas, and will be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms and conditions of this <u>Section 4.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Each Party shall submit to the Environmental Arbitrator, with simultaneous copy to the other Party, such Party's proposed resolution of the Disputed Environmental Matter no later than two (2) Business Days after the appointment of the Environmental Arbitrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)The Environmental Arbitrator shall make its determination no later than ten (10) Business Days after submission of the Disputed Environmental Matters. The Environmental Arbitrator's determination will include its rationale and reasoning in respect of each Disputed Environmental Matter considered. The Environmental Arbitrator's determination will be final and binding upon the Parties, without right of appeal. In making its determination, the Environmental Arbitrator shall be bound by the rules set forth in this <u>Section 4.3</u> and, subject to the foregoing, may consider such other matters as, in the opinion of the Environmental Arbitrator, are reasonably necessary to make a proper determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)If the Environmental Arbitrator's determination of the Remediation Amount is greater than the Remediation Amount retained by Acquiror pursuant to <u>Section 4.3(b)</u>, then Contributor shall promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days following such determination, pay the amount of such difference in cash to Acquiror by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Acquiror. If, on the other hand, the Environmental Arbitrator's determination of the Remediation Amount is less than the Remediation Amount retained by Acquiror pursuant to <u>Section 4.3(b)</u>, then Acquiror shall promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days following such determination, pay the amount of such difference in cash to Contributor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Contributor. For the avoidance of doubt, this <u>Section 4.3(g)</u> shall be applied only to determinations made by the Environmental Arbitrator after the Closing and the amount of any Remediation Amount determined by the Environmental Arbitrator prior to the Closing shall be fully accounted for in the calculation of the Adjusted Cash Consideration.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)The Environmental Arbitrator will act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific Disputed Environmental Matter submitted by a Party and may not award damages, interest or penalties to either Party with respect to any matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Each Party will bear its own legal fees and other costs of presenting its case to the Environmental Arbitrator. Contributor and Acquiror will each bear one-half of the costs and expenses of the Environmental Arbitrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)The Closing shall not be delayed on account of any environmental dispute resolution conducted pursuant to this <u>Section 4.3,</u> save and except for a dispute in which Acquiror or Contributor asserts that the Environmental Termination Threshold has been exceeded.

**Section 4.4** **<u>Disclaimer</u>**. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, and except for Contributor's express representations, covenants and warranties in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and any certificate delivered by Contributor pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the "**Exclusions**"), this sale and contribution is made and will be made without representation, covenant or warranty of any kind (whether express, implied, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, or statutory) by Contributor.

The provisions of this <u>Section 4.4</u> shall survive indefinitely any Closing or termination of this Agreement and shall not be merged into the Transaction Documents.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)[\*\*\*] shall indemnify and hold harmless [\*\*\*] and its Affiliates and its and their Representatives from and against any and all losses, costs, Damages, and liabilities suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with any of their cooperation or assistance with respect to the Financing or the provision of any information utilized in connection therewith or otherwise arising from the Financing; *provided* that the foregoing obligations shall not apply to any losses incurred as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any [\*\*\*] or its Representatives. [\*\*\*] shall upon Closing reimburse [\*\*\*] for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses (including reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses of counsel, accountants and other advisors) incurred

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If, prior to the Closing Date, any Governmental Body or other entity having condemnation authority shall institute, by written notice delivered to, or service of process on, Contributor an eminent domain proceeding with regard to all or any part of the Land (a "**Condemnation Proceeding**"), then Contributor shall promptly notify Acquiror thereof. If the Condemnation Proceeding is of all the Land or any material portion thereof (meaning the value attributed by Acquiror to such portion is greater than [\*\*\*] of the Unadjusted Consideration), then Acquiror shall have the right, within five (5) Business Days after Acquiror's receipt of a written notice from Contributor of the Condemnation Proceeding, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Contributor. If, however, the Condemnation Proceeding is of an immaterial portion of the Land, or the Condemnation Proceeding is of all or a material portion of the Land but Acquiror fails to timely elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Parties shall proceed with the Closing without any reduction in the Unadjusted Consideration but Acquiror shall be entitled to receive all condemnation proceeds related thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If any portion of the Assets is materially (being greater than [\*\*\*] of the Unadjusted Consideration attributed by Acquiror to such Assets) damaged prior to the Closing Date, then, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Acquiror remains obligated to close the acquisition of the applicable Assets hereunder, in which event Contributor shall assign to Acquiror on the Closing Date any applicable insurance proceeds available to Contributor under its policies of insurance for such damage and any surface damages to which Contributor is entitled for such damage, and the Unadjusted Consideration shall be adjusted downward by the commercially reasonable value of such material damage.

**Section 7.8** **<u>Affiliate Interests</u>**. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any of Contributor's Affiliates own an interest in or hold any property or asset that would constitute an "Asset" hereunder if such property or asset were owned, leased or held by Contributor, such property or asset (and such Affiliate's interest therein) shall constitute "Assets" for all purposes of this Agreement. To the extent that any of Contributor's Affiliates (a) own an interest in or hold or possess any of the Assets, (b) perform functions, obligations or exercise rights on behalf of Contributor with respect to

------

any of the Assets, (c) possess any of the Assets or possess or have access to any relevant information or documentation regarding any of the Assets, or (d) take or fail to take actions that would be subject to this Agreement if taken or not taken by Contributor, then (x) references to Contributor in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Contributor's obligation to convey the Assets to Acquiror at Closing) shall include each such Affiliate; (y) Contributor shall cause such Affiliate(s) to take (or refrain from taking) the actions required to be taken (or required not to be taken, as applicable) by Contributor under this Agreement; and (z) any breach by such an Affiliate shall be a breach of this Agreement by Contributor. Notwithstanding the above, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the fee interests held by certain of Contributor's members or their Affiliates in respect to the Relinquishment Act Lands (i.e., such parties' fee interest in the Surface Use Land encumbered by the Management Agreement) shall not be subject to the terms or requirements of this <u>Section 7.8</u>.

**Section 7.9** **<u>Publicity</u>**. All press releases or other public communications of any nature whatsoever relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall be subject to the prior written consent of each of the Parties; *provided* that nothing herein shall prevent a Party from publishing such press releases or other public communications as is necessary to satisfy such Party's obligations under applicable securities or other Laws or under the rules of any stock or commodities exchange after consultation with the other Party; *provided*, further, that (i) nothing in this <u>Section 7.9</u> will preclude any Party from communicating with its employees on a confidential basis and (ii) a communication or disclosure that is consistent with a prior communication as to which the other Party has consented or the Parties have consulted pursuant to this <u>Section 7.9</u> shall not require a further consent or consultation pursuant to this <u>Section 7.9</u>.

**Section 7.10** **<u>Lock-Up</u>**. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the [\*\*\*] day after the Closing Date (excluding the date of the Closing for purposes of calculating such date) (the "**Lock-Up Period**"), Contributor will not lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Acquiror Units or Class B Shares issued hereunder to Contributor, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Acquiror Units, Class B Shares, Class A Shares or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. Nothing in this <u>Section 7.10</u> shall prohibit or limit the ability of Contributor to effect any transfer of Acquiror Units, Class B Shares or Class A Shares (a) as a bona fide gift or gifts or any other similar transfer or distribution that does not involve a sale or other disposition for value, (b) to any such Person's partners, members or stockholders as part of a distribution, (c) to any corporation, partnership or other entity that is an Affiliate of such Person, in each case of the forgoing clauses (a) through (c), so long as (x) such transfer is made in compliance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws and (y) the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all the terms of this <u>Section 7.10</u>, (d) pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of Class A Shares or (e) pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency.

It is also, accordingly, agreed that if, and only if, (i) all of the conditions to Acquiror's obligation to consummate the Closing have been satisfied by the Outside Date (other than those conditions that by their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date, but each of which conditions is capable of being satisfied upon the Closing Date); (ii) Acquiror fails to complete the Closing by the Outside Date; (iii) Contributor has confirmed that it is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; (iv) Contributor shall not have terminated this Agreement and received the Deposit pursuant to <u>Section 10.1(f)</u> and <u>Section 10.2(c)</u>; (v) Acquiror or Contributor shall not have terminated this Agreement and Contributor shall not have received the Deposit pursuant to <u>Section 10.1(j)</u> and <u>Section 10.2(c)</u>; and (vi) Acquiror is no longer making reasonable good faith efforts to pursue financing under the Debt Agreement or Alternate Financing, then Contributor shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent the breach of this Agreement and to enforce specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages. Each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Each Party further agrees not to assert that such specific enforcement is unavailable because a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If either Contributor or Acquiror becomes entitled to the Deposit (less the Independent Contract Consideration, as applicable) upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Acquiror and Contributor shall deliver a letter of instruction to the Title Company directing disbursement of the Deposit to the Party entitled thereto.

**Section 10.4** **<u>Pre-Closing Date Exclusive Remedies</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The indemnity of each Party provided in this <u>Section 11.2</u> shall be for the benefit of and extend to each Person included in the Contributor Group and the Acquiror Group, as applicable. Any claim for indemnity under this <u>Section 11.2</u> by any third Person must be brought and administered by a Party to this Agreement. No Indemnified Person (including any Person within the Contributor Group and the Acquiror Group), other than the Parties, shall have any rights against Contributor or Acquiror under the

------

terms of this <u>Section 11.2</u> except as may be exercised on its behalf by Acquiror or Contributor, as applicable, pursuant to this <u>Section 11.2(c)</u>.

Upon Contributor's payment or satisfaction in full of any indemnified loss for which Acquiror may also seek recovery under the Title Policy, Contributor shall be subrogated to Acquiror's rights to pursue recovery under the Title Policy.

**Section 11.3** **<u>Indemnification Actions</u>**. All claims for indemnification under <u>Section 11.2</u> shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)For purposes hereof, (i) the term "**Indemnifying Person**" when used in connection with particular Damages shall mean the Person or Persons having an obligation to indemnify another Person or Persons with respect to such Damages pursuant to this <u>Article 11</u> and (ii) the term "**Indemnified Person**" when used in connection with particular Damages shall mean the Person or Persons having the right to be indemnified with respect to such Damages by another Person or Persons pursuant to this <u>Article 11</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)To make a claim for indemnification under <u>Section 11.2</u>, an Indemnified Person shall notify the Indemnifying Person, in writing and in accordance with <u>Section 13.2</u>, of its claim under this <u>Section 11.3</u>, including the specific details of and specific basis under this Agreement for its claim (the "**Claim Notice**"). In the event that the claim for indemnification is based upon a claim by a third Person against the Indemnified Person (a "**Third Person Claim**"), the Indemnified Person shall provide its Claim Notice promptly after the Indemnified Person has Knowledge of the Third Person Claim and shall enclose a copy of all papers (if any) served with respect to the Third Person Claim; *provided* that the failure of any Indemnified Person to give notice of a Third Person Claim as provided in this <u>Section 11.3</u> shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under <u>Section 11.2</u> except to the extent such failure results in insufficient time being available to permit the Indemnifying Person to effectively defend against the Third Person Claim or otherwise prejudices the Indemnifying Person's ability to defend against the Third Person Claim. In the event that the claim for indemnification is based upon an inaccuracy or breach of a representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement, the Claim Notice shall specify the representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement that was inaccurate or breached.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)In the case of a claim for indemnification based upon a Third Person Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to notify the Indemnified Person whether it admits or denies its obligation to indemnify and defend the Indemnified Person against such Third Person Claim under this <u>Article 11</u>. If, the Indemnifying Person does not notify the Indemnified Person within such 30-day period whether the Indemnifying Person admits or denies its obligation to indemnify and defend the Indemnified Person, it shall be conclusively deemed to have denied such indemnification and defense obligation hereunder. The Indemnified Person is authorized, prior to and during such 30-day period, to file any motion, answer, or other pleading that it shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Person and that is not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Person.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)If the Indemnifying Person admits its obligation, it shall have the right and obligation to diligently defend, at its sole cost and expense, the Third Person Claim. The Indemnifying Person shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including, subject to the last sentence of this <u>Section 11.3(d)</u>, any compromise or settlement thereof. If requested by the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person agrees to cooperate in contesting any Third Person Claim that the Indemnifying Person elects to contest (*provided* that the Indemnified Person shall not be required to bring any counterclaim or cross-complaint against any Person). The Indemnified Person may at its own expense participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Person Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Person pursuant to this <u>Section 11.3(d)</u>. An Indemnifying Person shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, settle any Third Person Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto which (i) does not result in a final resolution of the Indemnified Person's liability with respect to the Third Person Claim (including, in the case of a settlement, an unconditional written release of the Indemnified Person); (ii) may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Person (other than as a result of money damages covered by the indemnity); or (iii) places ongoing affirmative obligations on the Indemnified Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)If the Indemnifying Person does not admit its obligation or admits its obligation but fails to diligently defend or settle the Third Person Claim, then the Indemnified Person shall have the right to defend against the Third Person Claim (at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person, if the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder), with counsel of the Indemnified Person's choosing, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Person to admit its obligation and assume the defense of the Third Person Claim at any time prior to settlement or final determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Person has not yet admitted its obligation to provide indemnification with respect to a Third Person Claim, the Indemnified Person shall send written notice to the Indemnifying Person of any proposed settlement, and the Indemnifying Person shall have the option for ten (10) days following receipt of such notice to (i) admit in writing its obligation to provide indemnification with respect to the Third Person Claim and (ii) if its obligation is so admitted, reject, in its reasonable judgment, the proposed settlement. If the Indemnified Person settles any Third Person Claim over the objection of the Indemnifying Person after the Indemnifying Person has timely admitted its obligation in writing and assumed the defense of a Third Person Claim, the Indemnified Person shall be deemed to have waived any right to indemnity therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)In the case of a claim for indemnification not based upon a Third Person Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to (i) cure the Damages complained of, (ii) admit its obligation to provide indemnification with respect to such Damages, or (iii) dispute the claim for such indemnification. If the Indemnifying Person does not notify the Indemnified Person within such 30-day period that it has cured the Damages or that it disputes the claim for such indemnification, the Indemnifying Person shall be deemed to have disputed such claim for indemnification.

------

exceed [\*\*\*] (the "**Indemnity Deductible**") and then only to the extent such Damages exceed the Indemnity Deductible, (iii) aggregate claims for Damages with respect to Contributor's breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered by Contributor pursuant to this Agreement, other than the Contributor Fundamental Representations or the representations and warranties in <u>Section 5.10</u> or the Special Warranty, in excess of [\*\*\*] and (iv) aggregate claims for Damages, including Contributor's obligation to indemnify Acquiror for a breach of any of Contributor's Fundamental Representations, Contributor's representations and warranties in <u>Section 5.10</u>, the Special Warranty, and Contributor's breach of, or default under, any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement or any certificate delivered by Contributor pursuant to this Agreement, in excess of the Adjusted Consideration.

The remainder of this Agreement shall survive the Closing hereunder for a period of [\*\*\*] months, except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein. Representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements shall be of no further force and effect after the date of their expiration; *provided,* that there shall be no termination of any bona fide claim asserted pursuant to this Agreement (and not resolved or relinquished) with respect to such a representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement prior to its expiration date.

The indemnity in <u>Section 11.2(a)(iii)</u> shall survive the Closing without time limit. The indemnity in <u>Section 11.2(b)(iii)</u>, shall survive the Closing without time limit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)In no event shall any Indemnified Person be entitled to duplicate compensation with respect to the same Damage, liability, loss, cost, expense, claim, award, or judgment under more than one provision of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) a claim for indemnity may be made by a Party under this <u>Article 11</u> with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement despite the fact that such Party obtained knowledge prior to the Closing hereunder, of any such breach of representation, warranty or covenant, and (ii) for purposes of [\*\*\*] any inaccuracy, misrepresentation or breach, of any representation or warranty set forth herein or any corresponding certificates delivered at by the Parties at Closing (excluding the representations set forth in <u>Section 5.22</u> or any "bring-down" thereof contained in any certificate delivered by Contributor pursuant to this Agreement), the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement that are qualified as to "material," "materiality," "material respects," "material adverse effect" or words of similar import or effect shall be deemed to have been made without any such qualification.

All indemnifiable Damages payable by Acquiror shall be satisfied in cash by Acquiror in immediately available funds. If such a claim is to be satisfied through the return of Equity Consideration, Parent and Acquiror shall be permitted to provide instructions to the applicable transfer agent to cancel such Equity Consideration and Contributor will cooperate with Parent and Acquiror by delivering such instructions or confirmations as such transfer agent shall request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)For purposes of determining the allocations described in <u>Section 12.2(a)</u>, (i) Asset Taxes that are attributable to the severance or production of Hydrocarbons (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, Asset Taxes that are ad valorem, property, and similar Asset Taxes imposed on a periodic basis) shall be allocated to the period in which the severance or production giving rise to such Asset Taxes occurred, (ii) Asset Taxes that are based upon or related to sales or receipts or imposed on a transactional basis (other than such Asset Taxes described in clause (i) above or that are ad valorem, property and similar Asset Taxes imposed on a periodic basis) shall be allocated to the period in which the transaction giving rise to such Asset Taxes occurred, and (iii) Asset Taxes that are ad valorem, property or similar Asset Taxes imposed on a periodic basis pertaining to a Straddle Period shall be allocated between the portion of such Straddle Period ending immediately prior to the Effective Time and the portion of such Straddle Period beginning at the Effective Time by prorating each such Asset Tax based on the number of days in the applicable Straddle Period that occur up to, but not including, the day including the Effective Time, on the one hand, and the number of days in such Straddle Period that occur from and after the day including the Effective Time, on the other hand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)To the extent the actual amount of an Asset Tax is not determinable at the time an adjustment to the Unadjusted Consideration is to be made with respect to such Asset Tax pursuant to <u>Section 3.2</u>, Contributor and Acquiror 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 an Asset Tax (or the amount thereof paid or economically borne by a Party) is ultimately determined to be different than the amount that was taken into account in the Adjusted Consideration, 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 <u>Section 12.2(a)</u> (and any such payments shall be treated as adjustments to the Adjusted Consideration unless otherwise required by Law.)

**Section 12.3** **<u>Tax Returns</u>**. Without limiting the Acquiror's indemnification rights pursuant to <u>Section 11.2(b)</u>, after the Closing, the Acquiror shall (a) be responsible for paying any Asset Taxes for any (i) Tax period that ends before the Effective Time or (ii) Straddle Period, in each case, that become due and payable after the Closing Date and shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) any and all Tax Returns with respect to Asset Taxes that are required to be filed after the Closing, (b) submit each such Tax Return that pertains to (i) a Tax period that ends before the Effective Time or (ii) a Straddle Period, in each case, to Contributor for its review and reasonable comment, and (c) file (or cause to be filed) any such Tax Return, after considering in good faith any reasonable comments received from Contributor. The Parties agree that (i) this <u>Section 12.3</u> is intended to solely address the timing and manner in which certain Tax Returns relating to Asset Taxes are filed and the Asset Taxes shown thereon are paid to the applicable Governmental Body, and (ii) nothing in this <u>Section 12.3</u> shall be interpreted as altering the manner in which Asset Taxes are allocated to and economically borne by the Parties.

**Section 12.4** **<u>Tax Contests</u>**. If, after the Closing Date, the Acquiror receives notice of a Tax Proceeding with respect to any Asset Tax or Tax Return with respect to Asset Taxes related to any taxable period ending prior to the Effective Time (a "**Contributor Tax Contest**"), the Acquiror shall notify Contributor within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice; *provided*, that the failure of the Acquiror to provide such notice will not relieve Contributor of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that Contributor shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Contributor shall have the option, at its sole cost and expense, to control any Contributor Tax Contest and may exercise such option by providing written notice to the Acquiror within fifteen (15) days of receiving notice of such

------

Contributor Tax Contest from the Acquiror; *provided* that if Contributor exercises such option, Contributor shall (i) keep the Acquiror reasonably informed of the progress of such Contributor Tax Contest, (ii) permit the Acquiror (or the Acquiror's counsel) to participate, at the Acquiror's sole cost and expense, in such Contributor Tax Contest, including in meetings with the applicable Governmental Body, and (iii) not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Tax Contest without the consent of the Acquiror, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If, after the Closing Date, the Acquiror receives notice of a Tax Proceeding with respect to any Asset Tax or Tax Return with respect to Asset Taxes related to a Straddle Period (a "**Straddle Period Tax Contest**"), the Acquiror shall notify Contributor within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice. The Acquiror shall control any Contributor Tax Contest to extent Contributor does not reasonably promptly exercise to its control right with respect to such Contributor Tax Contest, as well as any Straddle Period Tax Contest; *provided*, that the Acquiror shall (x) keep Contributor reasonably informed of the progress of such Tax Contest, (y) permit Contributor (or Contributor's counsel) to participate, at Contributor's sole cost and expense, in such Tax Contest, including in meetings with the applicable Governmental Body and (z) not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Tax Contest, without the consent of Contributor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. To the extent the Acquiror controls the conduct of a Contributor Tax Contest pursuant to this <u>Section 12.4</u>, Contributor shall promptly reimburse the Acquiror for all reasonable costs and expenses of defending such Contributor Tax Contest. To the extent the provisions of this <u>Section 12.4</u> are inconsistent with <u>Section 11.3</u>, this <u>Section 12.4</u> shall control with respect to any Contributor Tax Contest or any Acquiror Tax Contest, as applicable.

**Section 12.5** **<u>Agreed Tax Treatment and Tax Allocation</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Parties agree that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and applicable U.S. state and local income tax purposes that follow such treatment), the transfer of all of the Assets by Contributor to the Acquiror in exchange for, at the Closing, the Equity Consideration, the assumption of any liabilities related to the Assets, the Adjusted Cash Consideration, and any other amounts constituting consideration for Tax purposes, shall be treated as a transfer qualifying in part for nonrecognition of gain or loss pursuant Section 721(a) of the Code to the extent applicable and being characterized as a disguised sale transaction described in Section 707(a)(2)(B) of the Code with respect to any amounts treated as a transfer of consideration pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-3(a)(1) (including any cash consideration and any amount of liabilities other than "qualified liabilities" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-5(a)(6)) deemed to be assumed as part of such transfer); *provided* that the Parties agree (i) to use reasonable best efforts to determine whether any portion of the Adjusted Cash Consideration constitutes a reimbursement of preformation capital expenditures within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-4(d) and (ii) the Class B Shares issued as part of the Adjusted Consideration shall have zero value (the "**Agreed Tax Treatment**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Within one-hundred twenty (120) days following the determination of the Adjusted Consideration pursuant to <u>Section 3.2</u>, the Acquiror shall prepare an estimated allocation of the Adjusted Consideration and any other items properly treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including any amount of liabilities, other than "qualified liabilities" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-5(a)(6)), deemed to be assumed by the Acquiror) among the Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. Tax Law, as appropriate) and deliver a schedule setting forth such allocation (the "**Tax Allocation Schedule**") to Contributor. Contributor shall reasonably cooperate with the Acquiror in respect of the preparation of the Tax Allocation Schedule, including timely and properly preparing, executing, filing and delivering all such documents, forms and other information as the Acquiror may reasonably request in connection therewith. Contributor shall have thirty (30) days from the delivery of the Tax Allocation Schedule by the Acquiror to contest the allocations set forth in the Tax Allocation Schedule by notifying the Acquiror in writing of the items contested by Contributor. If

------

Contributor timely contests the Tax Allocation Schedule, Contributor and the Acquiror shall cooperate in good faith to promptly resolve any disputes with respect to the Tax Allocation Schedule. If Contributor and the Acquiror are unable to resolve any disputed item in the Tax Allocation Schedule within thirty (30) days after the Acquiror's receipt of Contributor's written notice regarding such contested items (or such other time period mutually agreed to by Contributor and the Acquiror), such contested items shall be determined by such independent accounting firm as shall be mutually agreed to by Contributor and the Acquiror (the "**Tax Expert**"). The Tax Allocation Schedule, as agreed to or finally determined by Contributor and the Acquiror or by the Tax Expert (or, if Contributor does not timely contest the Tax Allocation Schedule pursuant to this <u>Section 12.5(b)</u>, as delivered by the Acquiror pursuant to this <u>Section 12.5(b)</u>) (the "**Final Tax Allocation**"), shall be final and shall be binding upon the Parties. Contributor and the Acquiror shall use commercially reasonable efforts to update the Final Tax Allocation in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder following any adjustment to the Adjusted Consideration or any other items properly treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties shall not (and shall not permit their respective Affiliates to) file any Tax Return or otherwise take any position with respect to Taxes which is inconsistent with the Agreed Tax Treatment or the Final Tax Allocation (as adjusted), except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law following a final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code or with the consent of the other Party; *provided*, *however*, that no Party will be unreasonably impeded in its ability and discretion to negotiate, compromise and/or settle any Tax Proceedings in connection with the Agreed Tax Treatment or the Final Tax Allocation (as adjusted).
