(d)	Notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary: neither Party will have any liability to the other Party or such other Party’s indemnified Persons under this Article 5 with respect to any item for which an adjustment has already been made to the Purchase Price under the terms of this Agreement.


(e)	Any indemnity payments made by a Party pursuant to this Article 5 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state and local income tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

(f)

To the extent of the indemnification obligations in this Agreement, Buyer and Seller hereby waive for themselves and their respective successors and assigns, including any insurers, any rights to subrogation for Damages for which such Party is liable or against which such Party indemnifies any other Person under this Agreement. If required by applicable insurance policies, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver of such subrogation from its insurers.

(g)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Buyer Group and Seller Group shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with this Agreement in respect of any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of the Seller (in the case of the Buyer Group) or the Buyer (in the case of Seller Group) notwithstanding that any member of the Buyer Group or Seller Group, as the case may be, had knowledge of such breach of or inaccuracy in such representation or warranty on or prior to the Closing Date or any investigation made by such Buyer Group or Seller Group, as the case may be, prior to the Closing Date.

5.06 Indemnification Actions. All claims for indemnification under Section 5.02 or Section 5.03 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:


(a)	To make a claim for indemnification under Section 5.02 or Section 5.02, an indemnified Person shall notify the indemnifying Party of its claim, including reasonably specific details of and the 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 Party against the indemnified Person (a “Claim”), the indemnified Person shall provide its Claim Notice promptly after the indemnified Person has actual knowledge of the Claim and shall enclose a copy of all papers (if any) served with respect to the Claim; provided that the failure of any indemnified Person to give notice of a Claim as provided in this Section 5.06 shall not relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 5.06 except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against the 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.

(b)

In the case of a claim for indemnification based upon a Claim, the indemnifying Party 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 defend the indemnified Person against such Claim under this Article 5. If the indemnifying Party does not notify the indemnified Person within such thirty (30) day period regarding whether the indemnifying Party admits or denies its obligation to defend the indemnified Person, it shall be conclusively deemed obligated to provide such indemnification hereunder. The indemnified Person is authorized, prior to and during such thirty (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 Party and that is not prejudicial to the indemnifying Party.

(c)

If the indemnifying Party admits its obligation, it shall have the right and obligation to diligently defend, at its sole cost and expense, the Claim. The indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof (subject to the limitations as further provided herein). If requested by the indemnifying Party, the indemnified Person agrees to reasonably cooperate in contesting any Claim that the indemnifying Party elects to contest (provided, however, that the indemnified Person shall not be required to bring any counterclaim or cross-complaint against any Person). The indemnified Person may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Claim controlled by the indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 5.03(c). An indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the indemnified Person, settle any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto that (i) does not result in a full and final resolution of the indemnified Person’s liability with respect to the Claim (including, in the case of a settlement, an unconditional written release of the indemnified Person from all further liability in respect of such Claim) or (ii) may adversely affect the indemnified Person (other than as a result of money damages covered by the indemnity).


(d)	If the indemnifying Party does not admit its obligation or admits its obligation but fails to diligently defend or settle the Claim, then the indemnified Person shall have the right to defend against the Claim (at the sole cost and expense of the indemnifying Party, if the indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder), with

counsel of the indemnified Person’s choosing. If the indemnifying Party has not yet admitted its obligation to indemnify the indemnified Person, the indemnified Person shall send written notice to the indemnifying Party of any proposed settlement and the indemnifying Party shall have the option for ten (10) days following receipt of such notice to %4. admit in writing its obligation for indemnification with respect to such Claim and %4. if its obligation is so admitted, assume the defense of the Claim, including the power to reject the proposed settlement in its reasonable judgment. If the indemnified Person settles any Claim over the objection of the indemnifying Party after the indemnifying Party has timely admitted its obligation for indemnification in writing and assumed the defense of the Claim, the indemnified Person shall be deemed to have waived any right to indemnity therefor.

(e)

In the case of a claim for indemnification not based upon a Claim, the indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to %4. cure the Damages complained of, %4. admit its obligation to provide indemnification with respect to such Damages or %4. dispute the claim for such Damages. If the indemnifying Party does not notify the indemnified Person within such thirty (30) day period that it has cured the Damages or that it disputes the claim for such Damages, the indemnifying Party shall be conclusively deemed obligated to provide indemnification hereunder.

following the Closing, Buyer and Seller waive any right to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE 6
CONVEYED ORRI REPURCHASE RIGHT

6.01 Conveyed ORRI Repurchase Right.

(a)

From and after the Closing Date and for a period of three (3) years thereafter (the “Repurchase Period”), Seller shall have the right by delivering written notice to Buyer to repurchase all (but not less than all) of Buyer’s interest in the Conveyed Assets for the applicable Repurchase Price (as determined on the date the repurchase notice is provided hereunder) (the “Conveyed ORRI Repurchase Right”). Additionally, if Seller undergoes a Seller Change of Control during such Repurchase Period, Buyer shall have the option to require Seller to exercise the Conveyed ORRI Repurchase Right in connection with the consummation of such Seller Change of Control. Such option is exercisable within thirty (30) days of written notice from Seller to Buyer of the consummation of such Seller Change of Control. In the event Buyer elects to exercise such option, Buyer must send written notice to Seller of its election during such thirty (30) day period. If Buyer does not send written notice to Seller of such election during such thirty (30) day period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such option. In the event Buyer timely elects such option, Seller shall pay the Repurchase Price with thirty (30) days of Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s written election.


(b)	As used herein, the “Repurchase Price” shall mean:


(i)	until the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, an amount equal to (a) 1.5, multiplied by the Purchase Price paid by Buyer with respect to the Conveyed Assets, less (b) the aggregate proceeds from the sale of Hydrocarbons produced from the Conveyed Assets and received by Buyer as of such date; and


(ii)	from and after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date until the expiration of the Repurchase Period, an amount equal to (a) 1.75, multiplied by the Purchase Price paid by Buyer with respect to the Conveyed Assets, less (b) the aggregate proceeds from the sale of Hydrocarbons produced from the Conveyed Assets and received by Buyer as of such date.

provided that, Seller shall not be permitted to exercise the Conveyed ORRI Repurchase Right hereunder unless Seller has previously exercised (or contemporaneously with the Conveyed ORRI Repurchase Right has properly exercised) the right of Seller to repurchase certain assets and properties conveyed to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ WI, L.P. as set forth in Section 6.03 of that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated of even date herewith by and between Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ WI, L.P., as the same may be amended from time to time.

To the extent that Seller elects to exercise such Conveyed ORRI Repurchase Right, Buyer shall assign and convey the Conveyed Assets to Seller free and clear of all liens, claims or Encumbrances arising by, through or under Buyer and its Affiliates (other than Permitted Encumbrances, mutatis mutandis), but not otherwise, and such assignment shall contain a special warranty of Defensible Title.

(c)

Until the end of the Repurchase Period, Buyer may not directly, or indirectly, Transfer all or any part of the Conveyed Assets (other than to Seller under Section 6.01(a) above) to any Person, without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent Seller may grant or withhold in its sole discretion. Following the end of the Repurchase Period, Buyer may Transfer all or any part of its right, title or interest in the Conveyed Assets to any Person without the consent of Seller.

ARTICLE 7
GENERAL PROVISIONS

7.01 Records. Buyer, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall be entitled to copies of all Records and documents relating to the Conveyed Assets that are in Seller’s or its Affiliate’s possession or control; excluding, however, the Excluded Records. Seller shall deliver copies of Records (excluding any Records already in the possession of Buyer) currently maintained in digital or electronic format to Buyer within ten (10) days of Closing, and Seller shall deliver to Buyer all other copies of Records but excluding any Records already in the possession of Buyer within thirty (30) days after Closing. Buyer may retain all originals of the Records.

7.02 Expenses.

(a)

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and subject to Buyer’s right to offset the Buyer Transaction Expense Amount pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i), each Party to this Agreement shall bear its respective expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, and performance of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, counsel, and accountants. However, the prevailing Party in any Proceeding brought under or to enforce this Agreement shall be entitled to recover court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees from the non-prevailing Party, in addition to any other relief to which such Party is entitled.

(b)

All Transfer Taxes and all required documentary, filing, and recording fees and expenses in connection with the filing and recording of the assignments, conveyances or other Instrument of Conveyance required to convey title to the Conveyed Assets to Buyer shall be borne by Buyer. Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Seller shall retain responsibility for, and shall bear and pay, all Asset Taxes assessed with respect to the ownership and operation of the Conveyed

Assets for (i) any period ending prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the portion of any Straddle Period ending immediately prior to the date on which the Effective Time occurs. All Asset Taxes with respect to the ownership or operation of the Conveyed Assets arising on or after the Effective Time (including all Straddle Period Asset Taxes not apportioned to Seller) shall be allocated to and borne by Buyer. For purposes of allocation between the Parties of Asset Taxes assessed with respect to the ownership and operation of the Conveyed Assets that are payable with respect to Straddle Periods, the Asset Taxes shall (i) in the case of such Asset Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts or imposed on a transactional basis such as severance or production taxes, be allocated based on revenues from sales occurring before the Effective Time (which shall be Seller’s responsibility) and from and after the Effective Time (which shall be Buyer’s responsibility); and (ii) in the case of other Asset Taxes, be allocated pro rata per day between the period immediately prior to the Effective Time (which shall be Seller’s responsibility) and the period beginning at the Effective Time (which shall be Buyer’s responsibility). For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated pro rata per day between the period ending immediately prior to the Effective Time and the period beginning at the Effective Time. Upon determination of the actual amount of Asset Taxes, timely payments will be made by Seller or Buyer, as applicable, to the extent necessary such that each Party bears the amount of Asset Taxes that are allocable to such Party under this Section 7.02(b). Any allocation of Asset Taxes between the Parties shall be in accordance with this Section 7.02(b).

(c)

From and after Closing, Buyer shall file any Tax Return with respect to Asset Taxes assessed with respect to the ownership of the Conveyed Assets attributable to a Straddle Period and shall pay any such Asset Taxes shown due and owing on such Tax Return, subject to Buyer’s right of reimbursement for any such Asset Taxes for which Seller is responsible under Section 7.02(b). Within fifteen (15) days prior to filing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a draft of any such Straddle Period Tax Return for Seller’s review and approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).


(d)	Any payments made to any Party pursuant to this Article 7 shall constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes and shall be treated as such by Buyer and Seller on their respective Tax Returns to the extent permitted by any Legal Requirement.

(e)

Buyer and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Conveyed Assets, including, without limitation, access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Buyer or Seller, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Governmental Body and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Each of Buyer and Seller shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes

pertaining to the Conveyed Assets for a period of at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully with each other in the conduct of any audit, litigation or other proceeding relating to Taxes involving the Conveyed Assets or the Tax Allocation.

(f)

Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing upon receipt by Seller of notice of any pending or Threatened Tax audits or assessments relating to the income, properties or operations of Seller that reasonably may be expected to relate to or give rise to a lien on the Properties. Buyer and Seller shall promptly notify the other in writing upon receipt of notice of any pending or Threatened Tax audit or assessment challenging the Tax Allocation.

All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and (a) delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) delivered by electronic mail upon affirmative reply by the intended recipient that such e-mail was received (provided that an automated response from the email account or server of the intended recipient shall not constitute affirmative reply), (c) one Business Day after delivery to an overnight courier of national reputation, freight prepaid or (d) mailed by U.S. Express Mail or by certified or registered United States Mail with all postage fully prepaid, in each case to the appropriate recipients and addresses set forth below (or to such other recipients and addresses as a Party may designate by notice to the other Party):

Any notice given in accordance herewith shall be deemed to have been given only when delivered or transmitted during normal business hours on a Business Day (or if delivered or transmitted after normal business hours on a Business Day or on a day other than a Business Day, then on the next Business Day), or upon actual receipt by the addressee during normal business hours on a Business Day after such notice has either been delivered to an overnight courier (or if delivered after normal business hours on a Business Day or on a day other than a Business Day, then on the next Business Day). If a date specified herein for giving any notice or taking any action is not a Business Day (or if the period during which any notice is required to be given or any action taken expires on a date which is not a Business Day), then the date for giving such notice or taking such action (and the expiration date of such period during which notice is required to be given or action taken) shall be the next day which is a Business Day.

7.04 Further Assurances. The Parties agree (a) to furnish upon request to each other such further information, (b) to execute, acknowledge, and deliver to each other such other documents, and (c) to do such other acts and things, all as the other Party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the documents referred to in this Agreement.

7.05 No Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay by either Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege shall preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to its obligations under this Agreement, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

7.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto), and the documents to be executed under this Agreement at the Closing constitute the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior discussions, communications, and agreements (whether oral or written)

between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the documents to be executed under this Agreement at the Closing.

7.07 Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. Neither Party may assign such Party’s rights nor delegate such Party’s duties under this Agreement without the express written consent of the other Party to this Agreement, and no such assignment shall release the assigning Party from any of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Except for (a) the Buyer Group and Seller Group, each of which are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement for the purposes of the indemnification provisions of Article 5, and (b) the No-Recourse Parties, each of which are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement for the purposes of Section 7.15, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement shall be construed to give any Person other than the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement; provided that only a Party will have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement on its own behalf or on behalf of any member of Buyer Group or Seller Group. In connection with the foregoing, each of Seller and Buyer may elect to exercise or not exercise indemnification rights under Article 5 on behalf of the other indemnified Persons affiliated with it in its sole discretion and shall have no liability to any such other indemnified Person for any action or inaction under this Section. This Agreement, any other agreement contemplated herein, and all provisions and conditions hereof and thereof, are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

7.08 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect their original intent as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the extent possible.

7.09 Article and Section Headings, Construction.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the word “or” is not exclusive.

References to any Person include references to such Person’s successors and permitted assigns, and in the case of any Governmental Body, to any Person(s) succeeding to its functions and capacities.

7.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by e-mail transmission) in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

7.12 Confidentiality. Buyer and Seller shall keep confidential, and cause their respective Affiliates and instruct their respective Representatives to keep confidential, all terms and provisions of this Agreement and any confidential or evaluative information (whether written or oral) provided to a party (the “Receiving Party”) in connection with the evaluation of the Properties and negotiation of this Agreement, in each case, except (a) as

required by Legal Requirements; (b) for disclosures by any Receiving Party to such Receiving Party’s Affiliates, partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors (including, without limitation, legal, financial and accounting advisors), current and potential debt and equity financing sources, controlling Persons, consultants and other representatives, and representatives of any of the foregoing; provided that all such Persons shall be instructed by such Receiving Party, prior to disclosure, to keep such information confidential pursuant to the terms hereof; (c) for information that is (i) known by the Receiving Party prior to the date such information was provided by the non-Receiving Party, (ii) acquired independently from a Third Party that the Receiving Party or its Affiliates or Representatives do not know to be bound by any confidentiality arrangement with the non-Receiving Party, (iii) independently developed by or on behalf of the Receiving Party without the use of any such confidential or evaluative information or (iv) available to the public on the Closing Date, or thereafter becomes available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section 7.12; and (d) to the extent that Buyer or Seller must disclose the same in any Proceeding brought by it to enforce its rights under this Agreement.

7.13 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that it shall be inadequate or impossible, or both, to measure in money the damage to any other aggrieved Party, if such Party fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement, that every such obligation is material, and that in the event of any such failure, the aggrieved Party may not have an adequate remedy at law or in damages. Therefore, each Party consents to the issuance of an injunction or the enforcement of other equitable remedies against such Party at the suit of an aggrieved Party without the posting of any bond or other security, to compel specific performance of all of the terms of this Agreement and to prevent the breach of any terms of this Agreement, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, waives any defenses thereto, including the defenses of: (a) failure of consideration; (b) breach of any other provision of this Agreement; and (c) availability of relief in Damages.

7.14 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified only by an instrument in writing executed by all of the Parties and expressly identified as an amendment, restatement, supplement or modification.

7.15 No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement or any document, agreement, or instrument delivered contemporaneously herewith, each Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Persons other than the named Seller and Buyer hereto (and their respective successors and assigns, collectively, the “Recourse Parties”) shall have any obligation hereunder and that it has no rights of recovery hereunder against, and no recourse hereunder or under any documents, agreements, or instruments delivered contemporaneously herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith against (a) any former, current or future director, officer, agent, Affiliate, manager, incorporator, controlling Person, fiduciary, representative or employee of either Party (or any of the foregoing Persons’ successors or permitted assignees), (b) any former, current, or future general or limited partner, owner, manager,

stockholder or member of Seller or Buyer (or any of the foregoing Persons’ successors or permitted assignees) or any Affiliate thereof or (c) any former, current or future director, owner, officer, agent, employee, Affiliate, manager, incorporator, controlling Person, fiduciary, representative, general or limited partner, stockholder, manager or member of any of the foregoing, but in each case not including Seller or Buyer (each, but excluding for the avoidance of doubt, the Recourse Parties, a “No-Recourse Party”), whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) by or on behalf of Buyer against the No-Recourse Parties, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other Legal Requirement, or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on, or otherwise be incurred by any No-Recourse Party, as such, for any obligations of Seller or Buyer, as applicable, under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, under any documents or instruments delivered contemporaneously herewith, in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.

7.16 Waiver of Consumer Rights. Each Party hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Consumer Protection Act, Article 17.41 et seq., Texas Business and Commerce Code, a Legal Requirement that gives consumers special rights and protection, and under any similar consumer protection Laws of the State of Texas or any other State to the extent such similar Legal Requirements would otherwise apply. Each Party represents that it has had an adequate opportunity to review the preceding waiver provision, including the opportunity to submit the same to legal counsel for review and advice and after consultation with an attorney of its own selection voluntarily consents to this waiver, and understands the rights being waived herein.
