The definition of “Citizen Substitute Leases” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: “Citizen Substitute Leases” means any Citizen Additional Leases utilized to offset Citizen Title Defects and Citizen Environmental Defects properly asserted by Linn with respect to the Citizen Assets for which the Initial Citizen Agreed Value is to be adjusted downward by designating one or more Citizen Additional Leases (in whole or in part) to offset the aggregate adjustment for such Citizen Title Defects and Citizen Environmental Defects, in each case at no cost to the Company or such designee and without Citizen receiving any additional Units or any other consideration therefor from the Company or such designee.
