the future income expected to be produced from;

title failure, the probability that such failure will occur; 
 (v) the legal effect of the Title Defect; and

 (vi) if the Title Defect is a lien or encumbrance on the Leasehold Interest, the cost of removing such lien or
encumbrance.

 10.01 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may, by written notice given at or prior to the Closing in the manner provided in Article 12.07 hereof, be terminated or abandoned: 

(a) at any time at or prior to the Closing by mutual consent of Sellers and Buyer; 

(b) at any time at or after August 27, 2010, by Sellers or Buyer if the Closing shall not have occurred by such date;

 (c) at any time by Buyer if a material default or breach shall be made by Sellers with respect to the due and
timely performance of the covenants and agreements, or with respect to the correctness of or due compliance with any of its representations and warranties, contained herein and such default or breach cannot be cured and has not been waived; or

timely performance of the covenants and agreements, or with respect to the correctness of or due compliance with any of its representations and warranties, contained herein and such default or breach cannot be cured and has not been waived;

 provided, however, no such party may exercise any right of termination pursuant to this Article 10.01 if the event giving rise to such
termination right shall be due to the willful failure of such party to perform or observe in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements set forth herein to be performed or observed by such party. 

10.02 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 10.01, this Agreement shall become void

obligations under this Agreement at the time this Agreement is so terminated, such defaulting party shall continue to be liable to the other party for damages (but in no event for specific performance) in respect of such default and such liability
shall not be affected by such termination. 
 ARTICLE XI 

TAXES 

11.01 Ad Valorem and Property Taxes. All ad valorem taxes, real property taxes, personal property taxes and similar obligations
(“Property Taxes”) attributable to the Assets shall be apportioned as of the Effective Time between Sellers and Buyer; provided, however, that any such taxes which are calculated based on the value or amount of production during a
given period shall be apportioned to the period during which such production occurred; regardless of the date on which such taxes are assessed and/or payable. The owner of record on the assessment date shall file or cause to be filed all required
reports and returns incident to the Property Taxes and shall pay or cause to be paid to the taxing authorities all Property Taxes relating to the tax periods during which the Effective Time occurs. If Sellers is the owner of record on the assessment
date, then Buyer shall pay to Sellers, Buyer’s pro rata portion, if any, of such Property Taxes within fifteen (15) days from the date such taxes are required to be 

  
 25 

 
paid to the taxing authorities and after receipt of Sellers’ invoice therefor, except to the extent taken into account as an adjustment to the Initial Payment pursuant to Article 2.02. If
Buyer is the owner of record as of the assessment date then Sellers shall pay to Buyer Sellers’ pro rata portion of such Property Taxes, if any, within fifteen (15) days from the date such taxes are required to be paid to the taxing
authorities and after receipt of Buyer’s invoice therefore, except in the extent taken into account as an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Article 2.03. 
 11.02 Transfer Taxes. Buyer shall be liable for all Transfer Taxes (as defined below) required to be paid in connection with the sale of the Assets pursuant to this Agreement. If the transfer of
the Assets pursuant to this Agreement is exempt from applicable Transfer Taxes, Buyer shall, at Closing, provide Sellers with proof thereof. As used herein, the term “Transfer Taxes” means any sales, use and excise taxes.

 11.03 Other Taxes. All taxes (other than franchise and income taxes and taxes covered by Articles 11.01 and 11.02)
attributable to the Assets that are imposed on or with respect to the production of oil, natural gas or other hydrocarbons or minerals or the receipt of proceeds therefrom (including but not limited to severance, production, and excise taxes) shall
be apportioned between the parties based upon the respective Security Assignments of production taken by the parties. All such taxes that have accrued with respect to the period prior to the Closing Date have been or will be properly paid by or on
behalf of Sellers (although such taxes for the period between the Effective Time and the Closing Date will be taken into account as an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Article 2.02), and Sellers shall be responsible for filing or causing
to be filed all statements, returns, and documents incident thereto. Buyer shall be responsible for paying or withholding or causing to be paid or withheld all such taxes which have accrued after the Closing Date and for filing all statements,
returns, and documents incident thereto. 
 11.04 Cooperation. Each party to this Agreement shall provide the other party
with reasonable access to all relevant documents, data and other information (other than that which is subject to an attorney-client privilege) which may be required by the other party for the purpose of preparing tax returns, filing refund claims
and responding to any audit by any taxing jurisdiction. Each party to this Agreement shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the other party made in connection with contesting the imposition of taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, neither party to this Agreement shall be required at any time to disclose to the other party any tax return or other confidential tax information. Except where disclosure is required by applicable law or judicial order, any
information obtained by a party pursuant to this Agreement shall be kept confidential by such Party, except to the extent disclosure is required in connection with the filing of any tax returns or claims for refund or in connection with the conduct
of an audit, or other proceedings in response to an audit, by a taxing jurisdiction. 
 11.05 Tax Indemnification. The
following tax indemnification provisions shall apply to this Agreement 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of
Article 11.05(b), Sellers shall indemnify Buyer from all liabilities for foreign, federal, state, local and Indian Tribal taxes in respect of the ownership or operation of the Assets prior to the Effective Time, together with penalties and interest
thereon (provided such penalties and interest do not result from the negligence, late filing, fraud or acts of misfeasance or malfeasance of Buyer). Sellers shall be entitled to all refunds or rebates of taxes paid in respect of the ownership or
operation of the Assets prior to the Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of Article 11.05(b), Buyer shall indemnify Sellers from all liabilities which are assessed for foreign, federal, state, local and other taxes, together with penalties and
interest 

  
 26 

 
thereon (provided such penalties and interest do not result from the negligence, late filing, fraud or acts of misfeasance or malfeasance of Sellers), to the extent such liabilities relate to the
ownership or operation of the Assets from and after the Effective Time; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not apply to (i) income taxes arising out of the ownership of the Assets between the Effective Time and the Closing Date,
(ii) Property Taxes apportioned to Sellers pursuant to Article 11.01, and (iii) other taxes imposed on or after the Effective Time, in each case to the extent (but only to the extent) such taxes are included in the determination of the
Adjusted Initial Payment. Buyer shall be entitled to all refunds or rebates in respect of the ownership or operation of the Assets on or after the Effective Time, except refunds or rebates of (x) income taxes attributable to the ownership of
the Assets between the Effective Time and the Closing Date, (y) Property Taxes apportioned to Sellers pursuant to Article 11.01, and (z) other taxes imposed on or after the Effective Time, in each case to the extent (but only to the
extent) such refunds or rebates are a return of taxes included in the determination of the Adjusted Initial Payment. 
 (b) In order for Sellers or Buyer (“Claimant”) to make a claim against the other (“Indemnitor”) under this Article XI, Claimant shall give prompt notice to Indemnitor of
any liability for which Claimant would claim indemnification under this Article XI, which notice shall include the circumstances surrounding such liability. Indemnitor shall then have the right but not the obligation, to contest such liability at
its sole cost and expense by giving written notice to Claimant of such election within thirty (30) days after Indemnitor receives Claimant’s notice. Should Indemnitor fail to notify Claimant within such thirty (30) day period,
Indemnitor shall be deemed to have elected not to contest such liability. Should Indemnitor elect (or be deemed to have elected) not to contest such liability, Indemnitor shall pay the full amount due under Article 11.05(a) in respect of such
liability to Claimant in cash within thirty (30) days after Indemnitor elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to contest such liability. Except as specifically provided in this Article 11.05 with respect to certain tax issues which must be
combined or joined with other tax issues, if Indemnitor elects to contest any such liability, Claimant shall give Indemnitor full authority to defend, adjust, compromise or settle such liability and any action, suit, or proceeding in which
Indemnitor contests such liability, in the name of Claimant or otherwise as Indemnitor shall elect. In any administrative or legal proceeding, Indemnitor shall employ counsel selected by it and reasonably acceptable to Claimant. With respect to tax
issues incident to any such liability that must be combined or joined with one or more other tax issues which Claimant desires to contest, Claimant and Indemnitor shall cooperate fully, and control of any administrative legal proceeding shall rest
with the party having the greater ultimate liability (including liability under Article 11.05(a) for the taxes in dispute). The party in control may not adjust, compromise or settle taxes which are contested by or on behalf of the other party
without the consent of the other party. With respect to any liability contested by Indemnitor under the terms of this Article 11.05(b), Indemnitor shall pay the full amount due under Article 11.05(a) in respect of such liability to Claimant in cash
within thirty (30) days after the liability is finally determined either by settlement or pursuant to the final unappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 ARTICLE XII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 

12.01 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE ENFORCED, GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS

  
 27 

 
APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS. 

12.02 Dispute Resolution. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that disputes may arise between them, and it is in their best
interests to resolve such disputes in an orderly and consistent manner, and agree as follows: 
 (a) The parties
will attempt to resolve promptly any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated or consummated pursuant to this Agreement (a “Dispute”), by negotiating directly and in good
faith. Both parties may seek the advice and assistance of legal counsel in connection with any such negotiation. 

(b) If the parties cannot resolve and settle a Dispute by private negotiation within sixty (60) days after one party
gives the other written notice that a Dispute exists, the parties mutually agree to submit the Dispute to non-binding mediation, as follows: 
 (i) Mediation shall occur in Dallas, Texas, before a single mediator, using the facilities and mediation rules of a professional dispute-resolution organization selected by mutual agreement of the parties
(the “Mediation Organization”). If the parties cannot agree on a Mediation Organization, they will use the facilities and mediation rules of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. in Dallas, Texas (“JAMS”).

 (ii) The parties shall jointly select a mediator from the panel of mediators maintained by the Mediation
Organization. The mediator must be an attorney who has no prior business or professional relationship with either party. If the parties are unable to agree on a mediator within thirty (30) days after the Dispute is submitted to mediation, the
Mediation Organization will select a mediator who possesses the indicated qualifications. 
 (iii) The parties
will share the filing fee for the mediation equally, but will otherwise separately bear their own costs and expenses (including legal fees) of participating in the mediation process. Each party agrees to send at least one representative to the
mediation conference who has authority to enter into binding contracts on that party s behalf. Each party further agrees to sign a confidentiality agreement that prohibits the mediator from disclosing, orally or in writing, any information the other
party discloses to the mediator in confidence at any stage of the mediation process. 
 (iv) Either party’s
failure or refusal to participate in mediation in accordance with this Subsection 12.02(b) shall be considered a dispute subject to binding arbitration in accordance with Subsection 12.02(c). 

(c) If the parties cannot fully resolve and settle a dispute through mediation within thirty (30) days after the
mediation conference concludes, all unresolved issues involved in the Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration, as follows: 
 (i) Either party may make a demand for arbitration. 
 (ii)
Arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Dallas, Texas, before a single arbitrator, using the facilities and commercial arbitration rules of the Mediation Organization or another professional dispute-resolution organization selected by Buyer
and reasonably acceptable to Sellers (the “Arbitration Organization”). If Buyer selects an 

  
 28 

 
Arbitration Organization other than the Mediation Organization and Sellers reasonably object to Buyer’s choice, the parties will use JAMS’ facilities and commercial arbitration rules.

 (iii) The Arbitration Organization’s expedited arbitration procedure shall apply to the arbitration
proceedings. The parties do waive the application of all rules of discovery and evidence under the laws of the State of Texas. 
 (iv) The parties shall jointly select an arbitrator from the panel of arbitrators maintained by the Arbitration Organization. The arbitrator must be an attorney who has no prior business or professional
relationship with either party and who agrees to follow and apply the express provisions of this Agreement in determining his or her award. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the arbitration demand
is filed, the Arbitration Organization will select an arbitrator who possesses the indicated qualifications. 

(v) The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, and neither party shall have any right to
contest or appeal the arbitrator’s award except on the grounds expressly provided by the United States Arbitration Act (the “Arbitration Act”). The party who demands arbitration shall pay the arbitration filing fee, but the
parties will otherwise separately bear their own costs and expenses (including legal fees) of participating in the arbitration process. Responsibility for the arbitrator s fees and expenses shall be determined as part of the arbitrator’s award.

 (vi) The procedures contemplated by and the enforceability of this Subsection 12.02(c) shall be governed by
the Arbitration Act and shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with United States federal judicial interpretations of the Arbitration Act. 
 (d) The parties further agree to submit to the jurisdiction and venue of JAMS and that service of process by certified mail, return receipt requested, shall be sufficient to confer in personam
jurisdiction over them. Buyer specifically agrees to waive all questions of personal jurisdiction or venue (excepting only lack of proper service) for the purpose of carrying out this provision. 

(e) The party which does not prevail in any Dispute submitted to binding arbitration as required by this Agreement shall
be responsible for all fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such Dispute. 
 12.03 Entire Agreement. This Agreement including all Annexes and Schedules attached hereto and made a part hereof constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties with respect to same. No supplement, amendment, alteration, modification, waiver or
termination of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. 
 12.04 Waiver. No
waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

 Deposit Escrow Agreement

 ESCROW AGREEMENT 
 THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 25th day of June, 2010, by and among Hop-Mar Energy, L.P., a Texas limited partnership
(“Hop-Mar”), Sydri Energy Investments I, Ltd., a Texas limited Partnership (“Sydri”), Snyder Energy Investments, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (“Snyder”), and Woodbine Energy Partners,
L.P. a Texas limited partnership (“Woodbine,” and collectively with Hop-Mar, Sydri and Snyder, “Sellers”), Southern Bay Energy, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Buyer”), and
Snell Wylie & Tibbals, a Texas professional corporation (the “Escrow Agent”). Except as otherwise expressly defined herein, each term used herein with its initial letter capitalized that has been defined in the
Purchase and Sale Agreement (as defined below) shall have the same meaning herein as ascribed to it in said Purchase and Sale Agreement. 
 Background 
 Sellers and Buyer are parties to a Purchase and Sale Agreement
of even date herewith (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), pursuant to which they have agreed to deposit five percent (5%) Purchase Price in escrow with the Escrow Agent to be held, administered and distributed on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth. 
 Terms and Conditions 

For and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Escrow Deposit.
Sellers and Buyer hereby deposit with the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of, funds in the aggregate amount of Eight Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($830,000) (the “Escrow Funds”), which
shall be held and dealt with by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  

2. Investment of the Escrow Funds. The Escrow Funds shall be invested by the Escrow Agent in a money market or similar
account that is interest-bearing and allows periodic withdraws. The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed by Sellers and Buyer to liquidate from time to time any investment or investments in order to make any distributions required by this
Agreement, notwithstanding any economic consequences of liquidating such investment prior to its maturity. 
 3.
Release of Escrow Funds. The Escrow Agent shall distribute the Escrowed Funds, along with any accrued interest, to Sellers in proportion to their respective percentage interests in the Assets at the Closing; provided, however, that if the
Closing does not occur as provided in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, by reason of the proper exercise by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, of its or their right to 

  
 37 

 
terminate the Purchase and Sale Agreement by reason of Article 3.06 thereof, the Escrow Agent shall return the Escrow Fund, along with any accrued interest, to Buyer as soon as reasonably
practical following delivery by Buyer or Sellers to the Escrow Agent of written notice of such exercise of rights under said Article 3.06. 
 4. Rights of Escrow Agent. In addition to its other rights contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall have the following rights under this Agreement: 

(a) The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein, and shall not be required
to take any other action with respect to any other matter which might arise in connection with this Agreement or the Escrow Fund in carrying out its duties hereunder. The Escrow Agent is not responsible in any manner for the sufficiency,
correctness, genuineness or validity of any of the documents, certificates, instruments or notices deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement or for the form or execution thereof, or for the identity or authority of any person
executing or depositing the same. 
 (b) The Escrow Agent may rely, and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting, upon any written notice, instruction, certificates or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; provided, however, that, as
set forth below, any modification to this Agreement shall be signed by all of the parties hereto. Sellers and Buyer shall indemnify the Escrow Agent, as well as its agents and representatives, against and in respect of any and all direct or indirect
damages, claims, losses, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Escrow Agent which may arise out of or result from any false or incorrect notice, certificate or other communication delivered
pursuant to this Agreement by such party. 
 (c) In the event of any disagreement or controversy arising under
this Agreement or if conflicting demands or notices are made upon the Escrow Agent growing out of or relating to this Agreement or in the event the Escrow Agent in good faith is in doubt as to what action it should take hereunder, the Escrow Agent
shall have the right, at its election, to (i) withhold and cease all further proceedings under, and performance of, this Agreement, and of all instructions received hereunder, and resign as Escrow Agent effective upon the appointment of a
successor Escrow Agent by Sellers and Buyer (as contemplated by Section 4(e) below), or (ii) file a suit in interpleader and obtain an order from a court of competent jurisdiction requiring all parties involved to interplead and litigate
in such court their claims and rights among themselves and with the Escrow Agent. The foregoing remedies shall be in addition to any other remedies available to the Escrow Agent provided by law. Should any suit or legal proceeding be instituted
growing out of or related to this Agreement, whether such suit be initiated by the Escrow Agent or others, the Escrow Agent shall have the right, at its option, to cease all further proceedings under, and performance of, this Agreement, and of all
instructions received hereunder until all differences and doubts have been resolved by agreement or until the rights of all parties shall have been fully and finally adjudicated. 

(d) Sellers and Buyer hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and to hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by it without negligence or bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with its entering into this Agreement and the carrying out of
its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability hereunder or in connection therewith. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its own choice as to any matters arising hereunder, and
shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any 

  
 38 

 
action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. 
 (e) The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving notice of such resignation to Sellers and Buyer, specifying the date upon which such resignation shall
take effect, which shall be at least thirty (30) days after the date of such notice. Sellers and Buyer, acting joint, shall have the right to terminate the appointment of the Escrow Agent hereunder by giving to it notice of such termination
specifying the date upon which such termination shall take effect, which shall be at least thirty (30) days after the date of such notice. In either such event, Sellers and Buyer hereby agree to mutually designate a successor Escrow Agent, and
the parties hereto agree that, upon demand of such successor Escrow Agent, all property in the Escrow Fund shall be turned over and delivered to such successor Escrow Agent, which shall, thereupon, be bound by all of the provisions hereof. In the
event the Escrow Agent does not receive notice of person or entity which has been designated as successor escrow agent within thirty (30) days after the Escrow Agent’s resignation or termination hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall have no
further duties or obligations hereunder, and may (but shall in no event be required), at its option and election, (i) tender the Escrow Fund to a court of competent jurisdiction for disposition in such manner as such court shall determine,
(ii) petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for such other relief or action as may effectuate the Escrow Agent’s resignation and termination of its rights, duties and obligations
hereunder, or (iii) take any other action it deems appropriate to terminate its rights, duties and obligations hereunder. Sellers and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and hold it harmless against, all losses,
costs, liabilities, damages or expenses incurred by it in connection with its resignation as Escrow Agent or its termination in such capacity and its transfer and delivery of the Escrow Funds to any successor escrow agent. 

(f) Sellers hereby agree to pay the Escrow Agent reasonable compensation for its services hereunder and to reimburse the
Escrow Agent for all expenses, disbursements and advances (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred or made by it in connection with its joining this Agreement and with the carrying out of its duties hereunder. None of the Escrow Fund can
be used to pay compensation to the Escrow Agent or to reimburse it for its expenses. The Escrow Agent shall, within twenty (20) days of the end of each month during the term of this Agreement, provide Sellers an itemized monthly statement of
the Escrow Agent’s fees and expense for the applicable month. 
 (a) If any property or sums held hereunder
is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order or by federal, state or local taxing authorities, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stated or enjoined by any
court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part thereof, then and in any of such events, the Escrow Agent is authorized to rely upon and comply with any such order,
writ, levy, judgment or decree which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it; and if it complies with any such order, writ, levy, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto, or any other
person, firm or corporation, by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, levy, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated. Without waiving any of its rights hereunder, the Escrow Agent
shall, at the time of service, notify Sellers and Buyer that it has been served with such order, writ, levy, judgment or decree. 

  
 39 

  
 (b)
BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ESCROW AGENT HAS ACTED AND PRESENTLY ACTS AS LEGAL COUNSEL FOR SELLERS, CONSENTS TO THE ESCROW AGENT ACTING AS ESCROW AGENT HEREUNDER, AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST ARISING FROM THE ESCROW AGENT
SERVING SIMULTANEOUSLY AS ESCROW AGENT AND AS LEGAL COUNSEL TO SELLERS. 
 5. Termination. This Agreement shall
terminate on the date the Escrow Agent no longer holds any of Escrow Funds and accrued interest. Prior to such date, this Agreement may be amended or terminated only by an instrument in writing duly executed by all of the Sellers and Buyer and
delivered to the Escrow Agent; provided, however, that the duties, liabilities and obligations of the Escrow Agent shall not be increased or modified without its written consent. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible to solicit any
documents or notices referred to in this Agreement. 
 6. Notices. Any notice provided or permitted to be given under
this Agreement shall be in writing, and may be served by personal delivery, by telecopy or similar facsimile means, by express courier or delivery service, or by depositing same in the mail, addressed to the party to be notified, postage prepaid,
and registered or certified with a return receipt requested. Notice deposited in the mail in the manner hereinabove described shall be deemed to have been given and received on the date of the delivery (or earliest attempted delivery) as shown on
the return receipt or returned envelope, whichever is applicable. Notice served in any other manner shall be deemed to have been given and received only if and when actually received by the addressee (except that notice given by telecopy or similar

Participant’s Share of Southern Bay’s interest (as of the date hereof without regard to the interest of any Third Party Participant or Third Party Leases) in such Existing Leases. Participant shall pay Southern Bay for Participant’s
interest in the Existing Leases an amount equal to Two-Thousand Dollars & No/100 ($2,000.00) per net mineral acre contained in the Existing Leases multiplied by Participant’s Share up to the first twenty-thousand (20,000) net
mineral acres leased. Any net mineral acres in excess of the first twenty-thousand (20,000) shall be treated as Additional Leases. The assignment of and payment for the Existing Leases shall be as follows: 

i. Immediately upon full execution of a Letter of Intent between the parties hereto, Southern Bay shall make available all title
information in its possession including but not limited to title opinions, title memorandums, lease purchase reports, maps and run sheets (“Lease Title Information”) covering the Existing Leases. Participant shall have fourteen
(14) days to perform title due diligence. If by the end of the fourteen (14) day period Participant encounters title defects that render any of the Existing Leases or portions thereof with less than Defensible Title, other than Permitted
Encumbrances, Participant shall not be obligated to pay for and acquire such Existing Leases or portions thereof. 
 ii. As used
herein “Permitted Encumbrances” any of the following: 
  

	 	a.	The terms and conditions of the Existing Leases; 

  

	 	b.	Lessors’ royalties and overriding royalties burdening the Leases; 

  

	 	c.	All rights to consent by, required notices to, filings with, or other actions by governmental entities in connection with the sale or conveyance of oil and gas leases,
or interests therein, if they are routinely obtained subsequent to the sale or conveyance; 

  

	 	d.	 Required third party consents to assignment, preferential purchase rights and similar agreements, where such waivers or consents are obtained from the

	 	 
appropriate parties, or the appropriate time period for asserting any such right has expired without an exercise of the right, and such right has terminated; 

 

	 	e.	Materialman’s, mechanic’s, repairman’s, employee’s, contractor’s, operator’s, tax, and other similar liens or charges arising in the
ordinary course of business for obligations that are not delinquent or that will be paid and discharged in the ordinary course of business or if delinquent, that are being contested in good faith by appropriate action; 

 

	 	f.	Easements, rights-of-way, servitudes, permits, surface leases and other rights in respect of surface operations or any restrictions on access thereto that do not
materially interfere with the oil and gas operations to be conducted on the Leases; 

  

	 	g.	Conventional rights of reassignment prior to release or surrender requiring notice to the holders of the rights; 

 

	 	h.	All rights reserved to or vested in any governmental, statutory or public authority to control or regulate any of the Leases or the Land in any manner, and all
applicable laws, rules and orders of governmental authority; 

  

	 	i.	Mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements and financing statements burdening the lessor’s interest covered by any of the Leases, whether or not such have been
subordinated to the interests of the lessee; 

  

	 	j.	The lack of any formal probate in the chain of title to a lessor’s interest covered by any of the Leases; 

 

	 	k.	The lack of a recorded release of any prior expired oil, gas and mineral lease covering any portion of the Lands; 

 

	 	l.	Any question as to the legitimacy of a survey or the lack of a survey; 

  

	 	m.	All Claims, charges, burdens, contracts, agreements, instruments, obligations, defects and irregularities affecting the Leases which do not have a material adverse
effect on the use, operation or ownership of the Leases to the end that a prudent person engaged in the oil and gas business with knowledge of all of the relevant facts and their legal bearing would be willing to accept the same.

 iii. Participant shall be assigned an undivided interest in and to the Existing Leases, in an amount equal to
Participant’s Share of Southern Bay’s interest in such Existing Leases. Southern Bay shall reserve unto itself, with respect to the Existing Leases, an overriding royalty equal to the difference between twenty-five percent (25%) and
existing royalty and overriding royalty burdens, with the intent of assigning a seventy-five percent (75%) net revenue interest, proportionately reduced, in each such lease to Participant; provided, if the net revenue interest of any lease is
equal to or less than seventy-five 

 
percent (75%), then Southern Bay will not reserve any overriding royalty and the actual net revenue interest will be assigned. 

iv. The first Closing shall occur on or about September 30, 2010 at Southern Bay’s office and shall cover approximately 20,000
net mineral acres of Existing Leases. Upon full execution of this Agreement, Participant shall wire transfer to Southern Bay the amount defined in Article II.A. Southern Bay’s wiring instructions are as follows: Comerica Bank – Texas
/ ABA No. 111000753 / Account No. 1880981772 / F/A/O Southern Bay Operating, LLC. 
 v. From time to time
thereafter as Southern Bay has acquired the full execution and recording of Existing Leases and has confirmed title to such Existing Leases, the parties shall close on the assignment of such Existing Leases. At such Closing, Participant shall pay
the portion of the amounts set forth above represented by the Existing Leases that are subject to such Closing and Southern Bay will make the appropriate assignment to Participant of Participant’s interest in such Existing Leases. Along with
the assignment, Southern Bay shall furnish copies of the leases and all Lease Title Information at such closing. 
 B. Acquisition of
Additional Leases. Southern Bay and Participant commit Twenty Million Dollars & No/100 ($20,000,000.00) for the acquisition of Additional Leases within the AMI. Southern Bay shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts, utilizing
a sufficient number of full-time lease brokers, as may be available, to attempt to lease additional net mineral acres. By its execution hereof, Participant commits to participate, for Participant’s Share, in the acquisition of all Additional
Leases. Any lease acquired beyond the Twenty Million Dollar commitment shall be subject to Article II.C. below and shall be considered an Additional Lease, if and only if, Participant elects to acquire its share of such Lease Costs. 

Beginning October 15, 2010 and on a monthly basis thereafter, Southern Bay may request an advance of funds representing
Participant’s Share of the estimated expenditures for Additional Leases. Such estimated amount will be paid by Participant within fifteen (15) days of the invoice for such advance. Southern Bay and Participant acknowledge that the amount
of additional leases actually acquired cannot be estimated with precision, particularly within any specific monthly period. The amount of the requested advance shall not exceed One Million Dollars & No/100 ($1,000,000.00) without the
express approval of Participant. From time to time following the acquisition of Additional Leases and confirmation of title to Participant, which shall occur no later than fifteen (15) days after the end of the month in which such Additional
Leases were acquired, Southern Bay will assign Participant an undivided interest in and to the Additional Leases in an amount equal to Participant’s Share; said assignment to be materially similar to the form of Partial Assignment and Bill of
Sale attached hereto as Exhibit “D”. Southern Bay shall reserve unto itself with respect to any Additional Leases taken an overriding royalty equal to the difference between twenty-five percent (25%) and existing royalty and
overriding royalty burdens, with the intent of assigning a seventy-five percent (75%) net revenue interest in each such lease; provided, if the net revenue interest of any lease is equal 

 
to or less than seventy-five percent (75%), then Southern Bay will not reserve any overriding royalty and the actual net revenue interest will be assigned. At the time of such assignment,
Participant shall pay Southern Bay for Participant’s Share in the Additional Leases an amount equal to the Lease Costs incurred by Southern Bay in acquiring the Additional Leases, all multiplied by Participant’s Share. Said payment shall
be reduced by any funds advanced to Southern Bay by Participant for leasing. 
 C. Acquisition of AMI Leases. The following provisions
shall apply to the AMI: 
  

	 	1.	Other Acquisitions Within The AMI. Following completion of Southern Bay’s acquisition of the Additional Leases, as between the Parties hereto, Southern Bay
and/or Participant, including their Affiliates, shall have the right to lease or otherwise acquire Leases within the AMI. 

  

	 	2.	Notification Upon Acquiring AMI Oil, Gas And Mineral Leases. In the event either Party hereafter acquires any AMI Lease, it shall promptly notify the other Party
in writing of such acquisition. Such notice shall include a full description of the AMI Lease so acquired, a copy of the instrument by which such rights were acquired together with, all documentation relevant thereto, meaning, by way of example but
not of limitation, copies of the leases, abstracts, title memos, assignments, subleases, farm outs or other contracts affecting the AMI Lease; and the Acquisition Cost as defined in Article VII.a. above, including an itemized statement thereof. If a
Material Well is involved the acquiring Party shall, within three (3) days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) after the date of acquisition of the AMI Lease so offered, or within three (3) days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and
holidays) of the acquiring Party’s learning of the drilling of a Material Well, if later, will also: 

  

	 	a.	furnish the other Party with the approximate location of the well then being drilled and the name of the Operator or drilling contractor drilling the well,

  

	 	b.	disclose in detail the reasons why the well can reasonably be expected to materially affect the value of the offered AMI Lease, and 

 

	 	c.	specifically advise the other Party that it shall have no more than the period of three (3) days (exclusive of Saturday, Sunday and holiday), within which to elect
to acquire an interest in the offered AMI Lease. 

 The above information required when a Material Well is being
drilled shall be provided to the other Party in addition to the information and copies of instruments furnished in connection with the usual notices of acquisition of the AMI Lease. 

  

	 	3.	Option to Participate. Within ten (10) days after receipt of the notice and information referred to in Paragraph 2 above or, when a Material Well is being
drilled and the acquiring Party has supplied the additional information and notice set forth in Subsections 2 a, b and c above, three (3) days (exclusive of Saturday, Sunday or holidays), the other Party may elect to acquire its proportionate
interest in the AMI Lease so acquired by notifying the other Party of such election. 

 Promptly after the
acceptance of the offered AMI Lease, the acquiring Party shall invoice the other Party for its share of the Acquisition Costs. Such Party shall promptly reimburse the acquiring Party for their share of the Acquisition Costs, as reflected by the
invoice. Upon receipt of such reimbursement the acquiring Party shall execute and deliver an appropriate assignment to the other Party. If the acquiring Party does not receive the amount due from the other Party within fifteen (15) days after
the receipt of the invoice for its costs, the acquiring Party may give written notice to the other Party that the failure to pay the amount due within five (5) days at the acquiring Party’s option, constitute a withdrawal by the other
Party of its former election to acquire the interest, and the other Party shall no longer have the right to acquire an interest in the offered AMI Lease. If the acquiring Party does not elect to treat such nonpayment as a withdrawal of the election
to participate in the acquisition, the other Party shall remain liable for payment. 
  

	 	4.	Failure to Respond. If the acquiring Party does not receive actual notice of the election from the other Party to acquire its proportionate interest within the
fifteen (15) day, or three (3) day period when a Material Well is present, pursuant to Paragraph 3, as the case may be, such failure shall constitute an election by such Party to not acquire its interest in the AMI Lease.

  

	 	5.	Responsive Notices. Responsive notices required hereunder, including, but not limited to elections to participate in an acquisition, may be given by verbally by
phone or in person, but to be effective must be followed by written notice delivered by mail, courier, personally, E-mail or by facsimile within twenty-four (24) hours of the delivery of the verbal notice. 

 

	 	6.	 Material Acquisitions. In the event either Party elects to pursue a Material Acquisition that is located within the AMI, in a market offering or
in a negotiated transaction, such Party will reasonably notify the other and may require the other to participate in the evaluation and due diligence process and closing thereof, simultaneously and in cooperation with the Party pursuing such
transaction. The Parties hereto acknowledge time is of the essence in such potential transactions and that timely notification cannot be specified time certain. Accordingly, for this purpose of notification, the Party pursuing such a transaction
shall advise the other when it has reasonably compiled relevant information related to the potential acquisition, including technical and economic data related thereto, but 

	 	 
not later than such time when a letter of intent has been accepted and executed by the seller or when verbal acceptance of an offer has been received from the seller or their brokers or advisors.
The Party receiving such notice will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to advise the other of its intent to proceed and participate in the transaction, as early as reasonably possible. The election to participate will be documented by a
mutually agreeable joint acquisition agreement, which describes the proposed acquisition, location, purchase price and expected timing of closing. Such agreement will, further specify the maximum acquisition cost above which the participating Party
will relinquish the right of participation. Said agreement will be subject to the terms and conditions of definitive purchase and sale agreement (‘PSA”) between buyer and seller. The participating Party will proportionately fund and be
obligated to the terms of the PSA. The participating Party shall fund its share of any deposits or escrow obligations and the net Acquisition Cost forty-eight (48) hours prior to the timing specified in the PSA. Failure to fund shall result in
the defaulting Party relinquishing any right to participate and further relinquish any deposits or escrow payments previously paid. 

  

	 	7.	In the event that either Party accepts the offered AMI Lease it shall be assigned its proportionate undivided interest in such leases. The offering Party shall reserve
unto itself, with respect to the such leases, an overriding royalty equal to the difference between twenty-five percent (25%) and existing royalty and overriding royalty burdens, with the intent of assigning a seventy-five percent
(75%) net revenue interest, proportionately reduced, in each such lease to the acquiring party; provided, if the net revenue interest of any lease is equal to or less than seventy-five percent (75%), then offering Party will not reserve any
overriding royalty and the actual net revenue interest will be assigned. 

 D. Warranty. Any assignment made by one
Party to the other shall be made free and clear of any title defects, encumbrances or burdens by, through and under such Party or their Affiliates, but otherwise shall be made without warranty of title, either express or implied, even to the return
of the purchase price, provided, however, that either Party shall assign to the other its proportionate share of any warranty held. The assignment shall be made and accepted subject to, and the Assignee shall expressly assume its portion of all of
the contractual obligations of Assignor under or with respect to an assigned AMI Lease, of which Assignee gave notice to Assignor prior to its election to acquire its share of the relevant AMI Lease. 

III. DRILLING AND DEVELOPMENT. 
 A. Horizontal Obligation Wells. Southern Bay shall propose the drilling of six (6) net Horizontal Obligation Wells to the joint venture interest, on locations reasonably acceptable to
Participant, and shall use its reasonable efforts to enable the first such well to be spud on or before April 1, 2011 and the other five (5) such wells to be drilled and completed in calendar year 2011 (the “Horizontal Obligation
Wells”) as is reasonably possible based on existing industry conditions. If Southern Bay and Participant cannot agree on a location reasonably 

 
acceptable to Participant, Southern Bay shall have the final determination as to the location of such Horizontal Obligation Well. Each of the Horizontal Obligation Wells shall be drilled on a
Spacing Unit agreed by the Parties, or unless otherwise required by governmental regulation or order. The procedure for proposing a Horizontal Obligation Well shall be that set forth in Article VI.B., of the Operating Agreement; provided, however,
Participant shall participate in the drilling, completion and equipping of each of the six (6) net Horizontal Obligation Wells and, notwithstanding the Operating Agreement, shall have no right to elect not to participate (be
“non-consenting”) in the drilling, completion and equipping through the tanks of any of the Horizontal Obligation Wells. A well shall constitute a Horizontal Obligation Well if it is drilled to and penetrates the Eagle Ford formation
whether or not the drilling thereof is discontinued and whether or not such well is completed. However, if drilling of a Horizontal Obligation Well is terminated before completion of the drilling due to mechanical problems or impenetrable strata or
other conditions in the hole which make further drilling impracticable, under generally accepted oil field practices, and if Southern Bay determines to drill a substitute well on such Spacing Unit, the substitute well shall be a substitute for the
original Horizontal Obligation Well within that Spacing Unit and shall not constitute a new Horizontal Obligation Well. Participant further agrees that it will pay one-hundred percent (100%) of the drilling, completing and equipping costs
through the tanks of all six (6) net Horizontal Obligation Wells. 
 B. Subsequent Wells. After drilling, completion and equipping
of the six (6) net Horizontal Obligation Wells, Southern Bay shall have the option, but not the obligation, to propose Subsequent Wells, on locations reasonably acceptable to Participant. If Southern Bay and Participant cannot agree on a
location reasonably acceptable to Participant, Southern Bay shall have the final determination as to the location of such Subsequent Wells. Each of the Subsequent Wells shall be drilled on a Spacing Unit agreed by the parties, or unless otherwise
required by governmental regulation or order. Any additional drilling will be in accordance with the Operating Agreement and the provisions of this Agreement; provided, the foregoing shall be subject to revisions based on economic conditions and
factors in existence or reasonably anticipated at that time. It is further acknowledged and agreed that should Participant elect not to participate in the initial well drilled in a proposed Spacing Unit then Participant shall forfeit and assign back
to Southern Bay any rights and ownership Participant has in said Spacing Unit. 
 If Participant elects not to participate in a
proposed Subsequent Well, after the initial well has been drilled in a Spacing Unit, and such Subsequent Well is drilled pursuant to the terms in the Operating Agreement, then Participant shall be deemed non-consent as defined in Article VI.B. of
the Operating Agreement. 
 C. Participant’s Services, Rigs & Products. Southern Bay shall utilize Participant’s
Affiliates services for the drilling, completing, equipping, servicing, re-working and abandoning of all wells spudded in the AMI subject to this Agreement as set forth under Exhibit “I” to the JOA. 

  
 D. Failure To Perform.
If Participant fails to drill all six (6) net Horizontal Obligation Wells to the joint venture interest, as otherwise described in Article III.A., Participant agrees that within thirty (30) days following its notice of non-complianceto
cure said non-compliance by: 
 1. Drill, complete and equip the remaining six (6) net Horizontal Obligation Wells specified in this
Agreement; or 
 2. Pay to Southern Bay liquidated damages equal to Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars & No/100 ($2,500,000.00)
multiplied by the number of undrilled Horizontal Obligation Wells; or 
 3. Assign back to Southern Bay one sixth
(1/6th) of its original leasehold/working interest in
and to all remaining undeveloped leases within the AMI for each un-drilled obligation well 
 Any and all wells drilled
subsequent to the satisfaction of one of the remedies specified immediately above will be considered Subsequent Wells as specified in Article III.B. above. 
 IV. OPERATIONS WITHIN PROJECT AREA 
 A. Operating Agreement. All operations
within the Project Area shall be conducted pursuant to the joint operating agreement attached hereto as Exhibit “C” (“Operating Agreement”), reference to which is hereby made for all purposes, except as expressly modified by the
terms hereof. Southern Bay Operating, LLC shall be designated as Operator subject to the resignation and removal provisions of the Operating Agreement. In the event there are other parties in the Spacing Unit for a well hereunder that are not a
participant with Southern Bay under this or a similar agreement, Participant agrees to support Southern Bay Operating, LLC as the designated operator subject to the resignation and removal provisions of the Operating Agreement. In the event of a
conflict between this Agreement and the Operating Agreement, this Agreement shall control. 
 B. Third Party Operating Agreements.
To the extent that a well within the Project Area is operated by a third party (excluding a Third Party Participant), the Parties shall be subject to the terms of any operating agreement negotiated with such third party operator. To the extent there
are conflicts between Third Party Operating Agreements and this Agreement, this Agreement will prevail between the parties hereto inclusive of the non-consent provision in Article III.B. 

V. PROPORTIONATE REDUCTION 
 A. Proportionate Reduction Clause: If an oil, gas and mineral lease or other Mineral Interest covers less than the entire mineral fee estate, or if a Party’s interest in the applicable lease
or Mineral Interest is less than a one-hundred percent (100%) ownership interest, any interest conveyed or reserved pursuant to this Agreement is intended to be proportionately reduced to accord to (i) the proportion of mineral interest
covered by the relevant oil and gas 

 
lease or other Mineral Interest, and (ii) the proportion of ownership held by the conveying party, in the case of a conveyance, or the burdened party, in the case of a reservation of
interest. 
 VI. SEISMIC PROPOSALS 
 A. Seismic Proposals: During the term of the Operating Agreement the Parties may propose to acquire or license seismic data within the AMI. Southern Bay shall act as operator in the
acquisition and processing of new seismic data. Southern Bay shall also act as operator in the acquisition of existing seismic data and re-processing if determined necessary. In the event a Party elects to participate in the licensing of seismic
data all Parties participating will make an election at that time as to acquire or not to acquire a license to the data. In the event a Party elects to participate in acquiring the seismic but not acquire a license that Party shall have all rights
to review and interpret such data allowed under the license agreement. In the event a Party (“Rejecting Party”) elects not to participate in the proposed seismic program and the other Party (“Proposing Party”) proceeds to acquire
the proposed data, the following shall apply:
 1. 2D Seismic Program Proposals: A Rejecting Party with respect
to any 2D seismic program shall pay to the participating Parties under the joint account a Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars & No/100 ($25,000.00) seismic fee upon spudding of each well within the AMI in which the Rejecting Party participates

 VII. CONFIDENTIALITY

 A. Confidentiality. The parties acknowledge that the Project Area information that is the subject matter of this Agreement
(including but not limited to all well information acquired by operations conducted under the Operating Agreement) is sensitive and confidential proprietary information belonging to the parties. Each Party, for itself and its Affiliates, agrees not
to release or disclose or otherwise make the information available to or to furnish any of said information to any third party without (i) obtaining the agreement of the third party to maintain such information confidential and to not use such
information other than in connection with investing in or participating with or purchasing interests from the disclosing party, or (ii) first obtaining the express written consent of the other Party. Any such release or disclosure if approved
shall be conditioned upon the third party expressly agreeing to all terms herein and becoming a party to and subject to this Confidentiality Agreement. This restriction on use and disclosure of this information shall remain in effect for a term of
two (2) years following the Effective Date. Nothing contained above shall restrict or impair any Party’s right to use or disclose any of the information which is: (1) at the time of disclosure available to the public through no act or
omission of that Party; (2) can be shown was lawfully in that party’s possession prior to the time of this Confidentiality Agreement; or (3) is independently made available to that Party by a third party who is independently entitled
to disclose such information and that party shows that the right of such third party to disclosure existed prior to the date of this Agreement. 

B. Public Disclosure. Subject to the exceptions set forth below, prior to substantial leasing completion in the AMI as contemplated by this
Agreement, each Party (specifically including GeoResources, Inc, a publically traded company and the corporate parent of Southern Bay) agrees to notify the other of its intent to issue press releases or make other public disclosures related to this
Agreement, at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to such disclosure (exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays or holidays). Any proposed press release or other disclosure shall be provided to the other Party with such notice on a confidential basis for
its information and comment. The Party proposing such disclosure agrees to reasonably consider any comments and suggestions made by the other Party. Notwithstanding such intent, either Party may make any public disclosure to the extent that, upon
advice of such Party’s counsel, such disclosure is advisable to comply with United States or state securities laws, rules or regulations. 
 VIII. TAX ELECTION 
 This Agreement is not intended to create, and shall
not be construed to create, a relationship of partnership or an association for profit between or among the Parties hereto except as provided herein. Each Party hereby affected elects to be excluded from the application of all the provisions of
Subchapter “K”, Chapter 1, Subtitle “A”, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and all amendments thereto.

Participant shall inform Southern Bay of its election to extend or not to extend no later than fifteen (15) days after being so notified. Southern Bay shall accordingly extend the primary term of any Lease which one or both of the Parties
desire to extend. Notwithstanding the foregoing covenant, neither Party shall incur liability to the other Party for failure to give the required notice unless such failure results from gross negligence or willful misconduct. Southern Bay Party
shall subsequently invoice Participant based on the Participant’s election decision as well as the election decision of Southern Bay. Participant shall reimburse Southern Bay within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice. 

X. NO JOINT LIABILITY 
 The rights, duties, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto shall be several and not joint or collective. Each Party hereto shall be responsible only for its obligations as herein set out and

 N. Not to be Construed Against Drafter: The Parties acknowledge that they have had an adequate opportunity to review each and every provision contained in this Agreement, that they have

O. Laws and Regulations: Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law will be deemed also to refer to all rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context otherwise requires. 
 P. Third-Party Beneficiaries: This Agreement is not
intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. 
 Q. Investment Representations: Participant understands (1) that the interests evidenced by this Agreement have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, or any state
securities laws (the “Securities Acts”), (2) that Southern Bay has relied upon the fact that the interests are to be held by Participant for investment, (3) that exemption from registration under the Securities Acts may not be
available if the interests were acquired by Participant with a view to distribution, and (4) Participant is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

Accordingly, Participant hereby confirms to Southern Bay that it is acquiring the interests for its own account, for investment and not
with a view to the resale or distribution thereof. Participant agrees not to transfer, sell or offer for sale any or any portion of the interests unless there is an effective registration or other qualification relating thereto under the Securities
Act of 1933 and under any applicable state securities laws or unless the Participant delivers to Southern Bay, if Southern Bay requests, an opinion of counsel, that such registration or other qualification under such Act and applicable state
securities laws is not required in connection with such 

 
transfer, offer or sale. Participant understands that Southern Bay is under no obligation to register the interests or to assist Participant in complying with any exemption from registration
under the Securities Acts if Participant should at a later date, wish to dispose of the interests. 
 Prior to acquiring the
interests, Participant has made an investigation of Southern Bay and its business and has had made available to it all information with respect thereto which it needed to make an informed decision to acquire the interests. Participant considers
itself to be an entity possessing experience and sophistication as an investor which are adequate for the evaluation of the merits and risks of its investment in the interests. 
 R. Related Party Transactions. If Southern Bay or Participant engages or enters into any transaction with an Affiliate or other party related by ownership, control or family to Southern
Bay or Participant, or any of their executives with respect to a matter for which Southern Bay or Participant may bear any portion of the economic cost under this Agreement, such engagement or transaction and the economic particulars of the
relationship shall be fully disclosed to the other Party, and such engagement shall be on terms no less favorable than are available in the market in an arms length engagement or transaction. Southern Bay or Participant shall provide
documentation reasonably requested by either party to evidence compliance with this provision. 
 S. Prior Agreements. Southern
Bay and Participant hereby acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is subject to the terms and provisions contained in an unrecorded Letter of Intent dated September 3, 2010 and the terms and provisions contained in the Operating Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit “C”. Southern Bay and Participant further acknowledge and agree that should there be any conflict between the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement and those terms and conditions contained in said
Letter of Intent and said Operating Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
this Agreement is executed effective as of the date hereinabove provided.
