Section 2.2 Purchase Price.

(a) The purchase price for the Subject Securities shall be consideration in an amount equal to $1,225,000,000 (the “Unadjusted Purchase Price”), which consideration amount shall consist of the following:

(i) $925,000,000 (as may be increased pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.2(a), the “Cash Purchase Price”); and

(ii) A number of shares of Parent Common Equity (rounded up to the nearest whole share) equal to (A) $300,000,000, divided by (A) the Share Price (such Parent Common Equity, the “Equity Purchase Price”); provided, however, in the event that Equity Purchase Price exceeds the number of shares of Parent Common Equity that Parent is permitted to issue without the approval of the equityholders of Parent under applicable Law or the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange (or other securities exchange (domestic or foreign) on which the Parent Common Equity is then listed) (such excess, the “Equity Excess Amount”), (1) the “Equity Purchase Price” shall be equal to the maximum amount that Parent is permitted to issue without the approval of the equityholders of Parent under applicable Law and the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange (or other securities exchange (domestic or foreign) on which the Parent Common Equity is then listed) and (1) the Cash Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of (1) the Equity Excess Amount and (1) the Share Price.

Notwithstanding the above, the Purchaser may elect, by delivery of written notice to the Seller no later than seven Business Days prior to the Closing Date, to increase the Cash Purchase Price and to correspondingly reduce the Equity Purchase Price by a number of shares equal to such increase in the Cash Purchase Price divided by the Share Price.

(b) The Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 2.3 (as adjusted, the “Adjusted Purchase Price”).

(i) for all purposes of this Agreement (except as expressly set forth in Section 2.5 and Article 13), Parent Common Equity shall be valued at the Share Price; and

(ii) If, at any time on or after the Execution Date and prior to the Closing, (x) Parent makes (or any record date occurs with respect thereto) (A) any Parent dividend or distribution on the Parent Common Equity in Parent Common Equity, (A) subdivision or split of any Parent Common Equity, (A) combination or reclassification of Parent Common Equity into a smaller number of shares of Parent Common Equity or (A) issuance of any securities by reclassification of Parent Common Equity (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which Parent is the surviving person) or (y) any merger, consolidation, combination, or other transaction is consummated pursuant to which Parent Common Equity is converted to cash or other securities, then the Share Price and the number of shares of Parent Common Equity to be

issued to Purchaser and transferred to Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall be proportionately adjusted, including, for the avoidance of doubt, in the cases of clauses (x)(D) and (y) to provide for the receipt by Seller, in lieu of any Parent Common Equity, the same number or amount of cash and/or securities as is received in exchange for each share of Parent Common Equity in connection with any such transaction described in clauses (x)(D) and (y) hereof. An adjustment made pursuant to the foregoing shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, split, combination, reclassification or other transaction.

(b) decreased by an amount equal to the absolute value of the Effective Time Working Capital in the event the Effective Time Working Capital is a negative amount;

(c) increased by an amount equal to the aggregate amount, if any, of all cash contributions made during the Pre-Closing Period to any member of the Company Group by or on behalf of Seller (including any and all Property Costs and Post-Effective Time Non-Income Taxes incurred in the ordinary course of business that are, in each case, paid by Seller on behalf of any member of the Company Group after the Effective Time), other than by another member of the Company Group;

(d) decreased by an amount equal to the Leakage;

(e) decreased by an amount, if any, equal to any Indebtedness that is paid or satisfied by the Company Group during the Pre-Closing Period, excluding (i) any payments made at the Closing from the proceeds of the Closing Payments in accordance with Section 10.3(a) and (i) any payment or satisfaction of any Indebtedness for which the Unadjusted Purchase Price is otherwise decreased pursuant to clause (f) below;

(f) decreased by an amount, if any, equal to (i) any Indebtedness of the Company Group (other than Indebtedness For Borrowed Money) outstanding as of the Effective Time, excluding any Indebtedness that is paid or satisfied at the Closing from the proceeds of the Closing Payments in accordance with Section 10.3(a) and (i) any Indebtedness For Borrowed Money outstanding as of the Closing, excluding any Indebtedness that is paid or satisfied at the Closing from the proceeds of the Closing Payments in accordance with Section 10.3(a);

(g) increased by an amount, if any, equal to the sum of (i) any Indebtedness For Borrowed Money that is incurred by the Company Group during the Pre-Closing Period (other than any interest and fees incurred on the principal amount of any such Indebtedness that is outstanding as of the Effective Time) (any such Indebtedness, “Post-Effective Time Indebtedness”) plus (i) the Indebtedness Interest Amount;

(h) decreased in accordance with Section 3.2(g) with respect to Defects;

(i) increased in accordance with Section 3.2(h) with respect to Title Benefits; and

Section 2.4 Adjustment Procedures.

For the avoidance of doubt, no item that is included in or taken into account in the determination of the calculation of Effective Time Working Capital shall be subject to any other adjustment to the Unadjusted Purchase Price. When available, actual figures will be used for the adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price at Closing. To the extent actual figures are unavailable, estimates will be used subject to final adjustments in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Section 2.5(c) regarding the settlement of any post-Closing true up payment due to Purchaser in Parent Common Equity, all adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be made to the Cash Purchase Price (the Cash Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to this Article 2, the “Adjusted Cash Purchase Price”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in determining the adjustments contemplated under Section 2.3(a), subject to the final proviso of Section 2.5(a), the following shall be taken into account to the extent not in conflict or inconsistent with the definitions of Effective Time Working Capital, Working Capital Assets and Working Capital Liabilities; provided, the following shall in no way be construed as a limitation to the definition of any of Effective Time Working Capital, Working Capital Assets and Working Capital Liabilities:

(B) if any member of the Company Group is the operator under a joint operating agreement covering any of the Assets, an amount equal to the costs and expenses paid to the Company Group by Third Party joint interest owners that constitute advance payments by such Third Parties for operations with respect to the Assets that are not incurred or conducted prior to the date Seller delivers to Purchaser the draft final settlement statement;

(C) with respect to any Imbalances where the Company Group is overproduced as to Hydrocarbons or has underdelivered Hydrocarbons, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by Third Parties to the Company Group for

such Imbalances as of the Effective Time on the basis of the applicable Settlement Price;

(D) the amount of all Suspense Funds held by Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company Group), to the extent such funds are not transferred to Purchaser’s or the Company Group’s control at the Closing; and

(E) the amount of any Pre-Effective Time Non-Income Taxes unpaid as of the Effective Time.

(d) All adjustments and payments made pursuant to this Article 2 shall be without duplication of any other amounts paid or received under this Agreement.

(e) For purposes of allocating Hydrocarbon production (and accounts receivable with respect thereto), (i) liquid Hydrocarbons shall be deemed to be produced from the Leases, Units or Wells when they pass through the inlet flange of the first measurement meter of the first applicable LACT unit and (i) gaseous Hydrocarbons shall be deemed to be produced from the Leases, Units or Wells when they pass through the inlet flange of the first downstream sales meter. Seller and the Company Group shall use reasonable interpolative procedures to arrive at an allocation of Hydrocarbon production when exact meter readings, gauging or strapping data are not available.

(f) Surface use or damage fees and other Property Costs that are paid periodically shall be prorated based on the number of days in the applicable period falling on or before, or after, the Effective Time.

(g) “Earned” and “incurred,” as used in Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, shall be interpreted in accordance with accounting recognition guidance under the Accounting Principles.

Section 2.5 Closing Payment and Post-Closing Adjustments.

(a) Not later than four Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a draft preliminary settlement statement (the “Preliminary Settlement Statement”) setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate of the Adjusted Purchase Price as of the Closing Date after giving effect to all adjustments set forth in, and showing the calculation of each adjustment under, Section 2.3. The Preliminary Settlement Statement shall include a list of the Persons, accounts and amount of disbursements that are to be made from the Closing Payment to (i) the holders of Credit Document Indebtedness outstanding as of the Closing, any Post-Effective Time Indebtedness outstanding as of the Closing and any other Indebtedness For Borrowed Money outstanding as of the Closing, (i) the Persons under the Transaction Costs Payoff Instructions, and (i) after deducting the amounts in clauses (i) through (ii), Seller. Seller shall supply to Purchaser reasonable documentation in the possession of Seller to support the items for which adjustments are proposed or made in the Preliminary Settlement Statement delivered by Seller and a brief explanation of any such adjustments and the reasons therefor. Within two Business Days after receipt of Seller’s draft Preliminary Settlement Statement, Purchaser will deliver to Seller a written report containing all changes that Purchaser proposes to be made to the Preliminary Settlement Statement, if any, together with a brief explanation of any such changes. The Preliminary Settlement Statement, as agreed upon

by the Parties, will be used to adjust the Unadjusted Purchase Price at the Closing; provided that if the Parties cannot agree on all adjustments set forth in the Preliminary Settlement Statement prior to the Closing, then any adjustments as set forth in the Preliminary Settlement Statement as presented by Seller will be used to adjust the Unadjusted Purchase Price at the Closing. A non-binding example form of the Preliminary Settlement Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit F.

(b) Not later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, with respect to any Transaction Costs of a type described in clause (i) of the definition thereof, Seller shall submit to Purchaser, the Transaction Costs Payoff Instructions.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, but not later than the 90th day following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a draft final settlement statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) setting forth the final calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price after giving effect to all adjustments set forth in, and showing the calculation of each adjustment, under Section 2.3. Seller shall, at Purchaser’s request, make reasonable documentation available to support the final figures. Within 60 days following receipt of Seller’s Final Settlement Statement hereunder, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written report containing any changes that Purchaser proposes be made in such statement, if any (“Dispute Settlement Statement”). Any changes not so specified in such Dispute Settlement Statement shall be deemed waived and Seller’s determinations with respect to all such elements of the Final Settlement Statement that are not addressed specifically in such Dispute Settlement Statement shall prevail. If Purchaser fails to timely deliver a Dispute Settlement Statement to Seller, the Final Settlement Statement as delivered by Seller will be deemed to be correct and mutually agreed upon by the Parties, and will be final and binding on the Parties and not subject to further audit or arbitration. The Parties shall undertake to agree on the final statement of the Adjusted Purchase Price no later than 30 days following Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s Dispute Settlement Statement delivered hereunder. In the event that the Parties cannot reach agreement as to the final settlement statement of the Adjusted Purchase Price within such period of time, either Party may refer the items of adjustment which are in dispute or the interpretation or effect of this Section 2.5(c) to the Accounting Referee for review and final determination by arbitration. The Accounting Referee shall conduct the arbitration proceedings in Houston, Texas in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Section 2.5(c). The Accounting Referee’s determination shall be made within 15 days after submission of the matters in dispute and shall be final and binding on all Parties, without right of appeal. In determining the amount of any adjustment to the Adjusted Purchase Price, the Accounting Referee shall be bound by the terms of Section 2.3 and may not increase the Adjusted Purchase Price more than the increase proposed by Seller nor decrease the Adjusted Purchase Price more than the decrease proposed by Purchaser, as applicable. The Accounting Referee shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific disputed aspects of Adjusted Purchase Price adjustments submitted by any Party and may not award damages, interest (except to the extent expressly provided for in this Section 2.5), or penalties to any Party with respect to any matter. Seller and Purchaser shall each bear its own legal fees and other costs of presenting its case. Seller and Purchaser shall each bear one-half of the fees, costs, and expenses of the Accounting Referee. Within 5 Business Days after the earlier of the expiration of Purchaser’s 60-day review period without delivery of a Dispute Settlement Statement or the date on which the Parties or the Accounting Referee finally determine the Adjusted Purchase Price, if

the Adjusted Cash Purchase Price exceeds the Closing Payment, Purchaser shall pay to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller in writing an amount in cash equal to such excess or if the Closing Payment exceeds the Adjusted Cash Purchase Price, Seller and Purchaser shall (i) provide the Transfer Agent with the applicable Transfer Agent Documentation and (i) deliver to the Transfer Agent joint written instructions to the Transfer Agent to (A) transfer from the Holdback Amount to Purchaser an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Equity (rounded up to the nearest number of whole shares) calculated by dividing (x) the amount of such excess by (y) the Current Price and (A) remove the Restrictive Legends on such shares.

(d) Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Seller in preparation of the final settlement statement of the Adjusted Purchase Price by furnishing invoices, receipts, reasonable access to personnel, and such other assistance as may be reasonably requested by Seller to facilitate such process post-Closing; provided that such cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with the business of the Purchaser or the Company Group.

(e) All adjustments and payments made pursuant to this Article 2 shall be without duplication of any other amounts paid, credited, debited, or received under this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 2.5 shall not apply to any disputes with respect to Title Benefits or Defects, which shall be governed by Section 3.2.

Section 2.6 Allocation of Purchase Price. Within 30 days after the Cut-Off Date, Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon an allocation of the Adjusted Purchase Price (and any other items properly treated as consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) among the Assets in accordance with the classes of assets set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.338-6 and in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If Seller and Purchaser are able to agree on such allocation, (i) the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to update the allocation in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and as mutually agreed following any adjustment to the Adjusted Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement, and (i) Seller and Purchaser agree to be bound by such allocation and shall report the transactions contemplated hereby on all applicable Tax Returns (including, but not limited to IRS Form 8594) consistently with such allocation (and any adjustment thereto), unless otherwise required by applicable Laws; provided, however, that neither Party shall be unreasonably impeded in its ability and discretion to negotiate, compromise and/or settle any Tax Proceedings in connection with such allocation. If Seller and Purchaser cannot agree on an allocation of the Adjusted Purchase Price, each party shall use its own allocation of the Adjusted Purchase Price as it deems appropriate.

Section 2.7 Withholding. Each of Purchaser and members of the Company Group shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct or withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any applicable U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Laws. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Authority by Purchaser or any member of the Company Group, such withheld

amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made.

Section 3.1 Title Matters. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.17, SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING TITLE MATTERS, AND, SUBJECT TO THIS Article 3 AND Article 13, PURCHASER, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE PURCHASER GROUP, HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES, AND DISCHARGES EACH MEMBER OF THE SELLER GROUP FROM ANY AND ALL SUITS, LEGAL OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, COSTS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, INTEREST, OR CAUSES OF ACTION WHATSOEVER, IN LAW OR IN EQUITY, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY PERIODS OF TIME WHICH ANY MEMBER OF THE PURCHASER GROUP MIGHT NOW OR SUBSEQUENTLY MAY HAVE, BASED ON, RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY MEMBER OF THE SELLER GROUP, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO ANY MEMBER OF THE COMPANY GROUP’S OR ANY OTHER PERSON’S TITLE TO, OR DEFICIENCY IN TITLE TO, ANY OF THE ASSETS. Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that Article 3 and Article 13 (solely with respect to obligations relating to Section 5.17) sets forth Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any Defect and the failure of any member of the Company Group or any other Person to have title to any of the Assets (whether Defensible Title or otherwise).

Section 3.2 Defects; Adjustments.

(a) Notice of Defects. As a condition to Purchaser asserting any claim with respect to any alleged Defect, Purchaser must deliver to Seller a valid Notice or Notices (each a “Defect Notice”) with respect to such alleged Defect to Seller on or before 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on September 7, 2018 (the “Defect Deadline”). In order to be a valid Defect Notice as to each alleged Defect, each such notice shall be in writing and must include:

(i) a description of the alleged Defect;

(ii) a description of each Lease, Unit or Well subject to such alleged Defect;

(iii) the Allocated Value of each Lease, Unit or Well subject to the alleged Defect;

(iv) Purchaser’s good faith reasonable estimate of the Defect Amount attributable to such Defect and the computations and information upon which Purchaser’s estimate is based; and

(v) providing, in all material respects, Reasonable Documentation in Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Representatives possession or control supporting Purchaser’s assertion and claim of such Defect.

PURCHASER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED AND RELEASED, AND COVENANTS THAT IT SHALL WAIVE AND RELEASE, ALL RIGHTS UNDER THIS ARTICLE 3 AND ANY AND ALL DEFECTS (AND ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE UNADJUSTED PURCHASE PRICE ATTRIBUTABLE THERETO) FOR WHICH SELLER HAS NOT RECEIVED ON OR BEFORE THE DEFECT DEADLINE A VALID DEFECT NOTICE THAT SATISFIES ALL OF THE CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 3.2(A).

(b) Notice of Title Benefits. As a condition to Seller asserting any alleged Title Benefit, Seller must deliver to Purchaser on or prior to the Benefit Deadline, a written notice (each a “Title Benefit Notice”) including:

(i) a description of the alleged Title Benefit;

(ii) a description of each Lease, Unit or Well subject to such alleged Title Benefit;

(iii) the Allocated Value of each Lease, Unit or Well subject to the alleged Title Benefit;

(iv) Seller’s good faith reasonable estimate of the Title Benefit Amount attributable to such Title Benefit and the computations and information upon which Seller’s estimate is based; and

(v) providing, in all material respects, Reasonable Documentation in Seller’s or any member of the Company Group’s possession or control supporting Seller’s assertion and claim of such Title Benefits.

SELLER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED AND RELEASED, AND COVENANTS THAT IT SHALL WAIVE AND RELEASE, ANY AND ALL TITLE BENEFITS (AND ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE UNADJUSTED PURCHASE PRICE ATTRIBUTABLE THERETO) FOR WHICH PURCHASER HAS NOT RECEIVED ON OR BEFORE THE BENEFIT DEADLINE A VALID TITLE BENEFIT NOTICE THAT SATISFIES ALL OF THE CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 3.2(b).

(c) Option to Cure Defects. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt, at Seller’s sole cost, to cure or remove, on or prior to the date 90 days after the Defect Deadline, any Defects asserted in a valid Defect Notice. Seller shall be deemed to have cured or removed a validly asserted Defect if the Assets affected by such alleged Defect are free of all Defects as of the date 90 days after the Defect Deadline. If any validly asserted Defect is not cured or removed as elected by Seller, or if Seller and Purchaser cannot agree as to whether such Defect has been cured or removed, and it is determined by the Defect Referee that such Defect is not cured by the date 90 days after the Defect Deadline, the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be adjusted by the Defect Amount attributable to such Defect, or, if after the Closing, transfer from the Holdback Amount to Purchaser shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 3.2(g). Seller’s attempt to cure or

remove a Defect shall not constitute an obligation to cure or attempt to cure such Defect or a waiver of Seller’s right to dispute the validity, nature, or value of, or cost to cure, such Defect.

(d) Defect Amounts. The diminution of value of the Assets attributable to any valid Defect that actually burdens, encumbers, or affects an Oil and Gas Property (the “Defect Amount”) shall be determined as follows:

(i) if Purchaser and Seller agree on the Defect Amount, that amount shall be the Defect Amount;

(ii) if a Defect is a Lien that is liquidated in amount, then the Defect Amount shall be the amount necessary to be paid to remove the Defect from the Company Group’s interest in the affected the Lease, Unit or Well;

(iii) if a Defect affecting any Lease, Unit or Well represents a negative discrepancy between (A) the actual Net Revenue Interest for such Lease, Unit or Well and (A) the “Net Revenue Interest” percentage stated on Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-3, as applicable, for such Lease, Unit or Well and in such case there is a proportionate decrease in the actual Working Interest with respect to such Lease, Unit or Well from the Working Interest stated on Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-3, as applicable, for such Lease, Unit or Well, then the Defect Amount shall be equal to the product of (1) the Allocated Value of such Lease, Unit or Well multiplied by (1) a fraction, the numerator of which is (x) the remainder of (I) the “Net Revenue Interest” percentage stated on Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-3, as applicable, for such Lease, Unit or Well minus (II) the actual Net Revenue Interest as to such Lease, Unit or Well, and the denominator of which is (y) the “Net Revenue Interest” percentage stated on Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-3, as applicable, for such Lease, Unit or Well; provided that if the Defect does not affect the “Net Revenue Interest” percentage stated on Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-3, as applicable, for such Lease, Unit or Well throughout its entire productive life, the Defect Amount determined under this Section 3.2(d)(iii) shall be reduced to take into account the applicable time period only;

(iv) if the Defect represents an obligation, encumbrance, burden, or charge upon or other defect in title as to the Lease, Unit or Well of a type not described in Section 3.2(d)(i), through (iii), the Defect Amount shall be determined by taking into account the Allocated Value of the Lease, Unit or Well so affected, the portion of the Company Group’s interest in such Lease, Unit or Well affected by the Defect, the legal effect of the Defect, the potential present value economic effect of the Defect over the life of such Lease, Unit or Well (including any reductions of Decommissioning obligations as a result of such Defect), the values placed upon the Defect by Purchaser and Seller, the estimated capital and operational costs and expenses (or reduction or increases thereof) attributable to the Company Group’s Working Interest, and such other factors as are necessary to make an evaluation and determination of such value;

(v) if a Defect is reasonably susceptible to being cured, the Defect Amount with respect to any Defect shall in no event be greater than the amount that can reasonably be

shown to be the reasonably estimated present value (discounted at a rate of 8%) of the reasonable lowest-cost response to cure such Defect;

(vi) the Defect Amount with respect to a Defect shall be determined without duplication of any costs or losses included in another Defect Amount hereunder, or for which Purchaser otherwise receives credit in the calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price; and

(vii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate adjustment to the Unadjusted Purchase Price for all Defect Amounts attributable to Defects with respect to each Asset shall not exceed the Allocated Value (if any) of such Asset (after giving effect to any applicable adjustments due to prior Defects).

(e) Title Benefit Amounts. The “Title Benefit Amount” for any Title Benefit shall be determined as follows:

(i) if a Title Benefit applicable to any Lease, Unit or Well with a positive Allocated Value represents a positive discrepancy between (A) the actual Net Revenue Interest for such Lease, Unit or Well and (A) the Net Revenue Interest percentage stated on Exhibit A‑1, Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-2, as applicable, for such Lease, Unit or Well, then the Title Benefit Amount shall be equal to (1) the product of the Allocated Value of such Lease, Unit or Well multiplied by (1) a fraction, the numerator of which is (x) the remainder of (I) the actual Net Revenue Interest of such Lease, Unit or Well minus (II) the Net Revenue Interest percentage stated on Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-2, as applicable, for such Lease, Unit or Well, and the denominator of which is (y) the Net Revenue Interest percentage stated on Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-2, as applicable, for such Lease, Unit or Well; provided that if the Title Benefit does not affect the Net Revenue Interest percentage stated on Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-2, as applicable, for such Lease, Unit or Well throughout its entire productive life, the Title Benefit Amount determined under this Section 3.2(e)(i) shall be reduced to take into account the applicable time period only; and

(ii) if the Title Benefit represents a benefit of a type not described in Section 3.2(e)(i), the Title Benefit Amount shall be determined by taking into account the Allocated Value of the Lease, Unit or Well so affected, the portion of the Company Group’s interest in the Lease, Unit or Well affected by the Title Benefit, the legal effect of the Title Benefit, the potential present value (discounted at a rate of 8%) of the positive economic effect of the Title Benefit over the life of the affected Lease, Unit or Well (including any increases in Decommissioning obligations as a result of such Title Benefit), the values placed upon the Title Benefit by Purchaser and Seller, and such other factors as are necessary to make an evaluation and determination of such value.

(f) Individual Threshold and Defect Threshold. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(i) There shall be no adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price or transfers out of the Holdback Amount under Section 3.2(g) for any Defect or Defects (or any related claims) to the extent the Defect Amount for any valid individual Defect is less than the

Individual Threshold (it being agreed that the Individual Threshold represents a threshold and not a deductible); and

(ii) With respect to all valid Defects where the Defect Amount thereof exceeds the Individual Threshold and all such Defect Amounts (together with Damages pursuant to ‎Section 13.2(b) with respect to Seller Non-Fundamental Representations or ‎Section 13.2(e)) also exceeds the Defect Threshold (it being agreed that the Defect Threshold represents a threshold and not a deductible), the adjustment to the Unadjusted Purchase Price or transfers out of the Holdback Amount under Section 3.2(g) shall include all such Defect Amounts.

(g) Sole and Exclusive Remedies for Defects. Subject to Seller’s right to dispute the existence of a Defect and the Defect Amount asserted with respect thereto, in the event that any valid Defect is not waived in writing by Purchaser or is not cured on or prior to the date 90 days after the Defect Deadline, then with respect to all uncured Defects for which the Defect Amount with respect thereto exceeds the Individual Threshold and also exceeds the Defect Threshold, (i) if a Defect Amount is final pursuant to Section 3.2(i) prior to the Closing, the Cash Purchase Price reflected in the Preliminary Statement shall be decreased by the sum of the aggregate Defect Amounts attributable to such Defects and (i) if a Defect Amount is not yet final pursuant to Section 3.2(i) prior to the Closing, once a Defect Amount is final pursuant to Section 3.2(i), Seller and Purchaser shall (A) provide the Transfer Agent with the applicable Transfer Agent Documentation and (A) deliver joint written instructions to the Transfer Agent to (1) transfer from the Holdback Amount to Purchaser an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Equity (rounded up to the nearest number of whole shares) calculated by dividing the amount of the aggregate Defect Amounts attributable to such Defects by the Current Price (subject to Section 13.6(c) and Section 13.6(d)) and (1) remove the Restrictive Legends on such shares.

(h) Remedies for Title Benefits. Subject to Purchaser’s right to dispute the existence of a Title Benefit and the Title Benefit Amount asserted with respect thereto, adjustments or increases to the Unadjusted Purchase Price due to a valid Title Benefit shall be subject to the same individual threshold amount and the same aggregate threshold amount as provided for under Section 3.2(f) for Defects. As such, the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be increased by the sum of the aggregate Title Benefit Amounts attributable to all such Title Benefits to the extent the Title Benefit Amount for each Title Benefit exceeds the Individual Threshold (applicable to Defects) and all such Title Benefit Amounts also exceed an amount equal to the Defect Threshold, in which case the adjustment to the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall include all such Title Benefit Amounts and (i) if a Title Benefit Amount is final pursuant to Section 3.2(i) prior to the Closing, the Cash Purchase Price reflected in the Preliminary Statement shall be increased by the sum of the aggregate Title Benefit Amount and (i) if a Title Benefit Amount is not yet final pursuant to Section 3.2(i) prior to the Closing, once a Title Benefit Amount is final pursuant to Section 3.2(i), Purchaser shall pay to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller in writing an amount in cash equal to such Title Benefit Amount.

(i) Disputed Defects.

(i) Seller and Purchaser shall use good faith efforts to agree prior to and after the Closing on the interpretation and effect of this Article 3 and the validity, cure or amount

of any Title Benefits, Title Benefit Amounts, Defects and Defect Amounts. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree on the scope, interpretation, and effect of this Article 3, the validity, cure, or amount of any Title Benefits, Title Benefit Amounts, Defects, or Defect Amounts by the Closing Date, then, subject to Section 3.2(d), no adjustment shall be made to the Unadjusted Purchase Price at Closing and any post-Closing payment due to Seller or Purchaser shall be made in accordance with Section 3.2(f), Section 3.2(g) and Section 3.2(h). If Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree on the scope, interpretation and effect of this Article 3, the validity, cure, or amount of any Title Benefits, Title Benefit Amounts, Defects, or Defect Amounts, by the date 60 days after the Closing Date, then, subject to Section 3.2(f), Section 3.2(g) and Section 3.2(h), all such disputed interpretations and effect of this Article 3 and all Title Benefits, Title Benefit Amounts, Defects, and Defect Amounts shall be exclusively and finally resolved pursuant to this Section 3.2(i). During the 10 Business Day period following such date 60 days after the Closing Date, disputes as to the interpretation and effect of this Article 3 and all Title Benefits, Benefit Amounts or Defect Amounts in dispute shall be submitted to the Defect Referee for resolution through arbitration as provided hereafter.

(ii) The arbitration proceeding shall be held in Houston, Texas and shall be conducted in accordance with, but not under the auspices or jurisdiction of, the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Section. The Defect Referee’s determination shall be made within 60 days after submission of the matters in dispute and shall be final and binding upon the Parties, without a right of appeal. In making a determination, the Defect Referee shall be bound by the rules set forth in this Article 3 and may consider such other matters as in the opinion of the Defect Referee are necessary or helpful to make a determination; provided, however, in determining the existence or amount of any Defect or Defect Amount, Purchaser may not submit any evidence, records, materials, data, or information that was not included in a valid Defect Notice delivered to Seller by the Defect Deadline, unless requested to do so in writing by the Defect Referee. Additionally, the Defect Referee may consult with and engage any disinterested Third Party to advise the Defect Referee, including title attorneys and petroleum engineers.

(iii) In rendering his or her award, the Defect Referee shall be limited to selecting either Seller’s position or Purchaser’s position on each of the disputed Title Benefits, Title Benefit Amounts, Defects, or Defect Amounts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Defect Referee shall have exclusive, final, and binding authority with respect to the scope of the Defect Referee’s authority with respect to any dispute arising under or related to this Article 3 or any disputed Title Benefits, Title Benefit Amounts, Defects, or Defect Amounts and in no event shall any dispute as to the authority of the Defect Referee to determine any such disputes be subject to resolution or the provisions of Section 14.4. The Defect Referee shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the interpretation and effect of this Article 3 and any and all specific disputed Title Benefit Amounts or Defect Amounts submitted by any Party and may not award any damages, interest, or penalties to any Party with respect to any matter. Seller and Purchaser shall each bear its own legal fees and other costs of presenting its case. Purchaser shall bear one-half

of the fees, costs, and expenses of the Defect Referee, and Seller shall be responsible for the remaining one-half of the fees, costs, and expenses of the Defect Referee.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including by using commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the conditions precedent of Seller (in the case of Purchaser) and of Purchaser (in the case of Seller) set forth in Article 9 to be satisfied (provided that the commercially reasonable efforts of a party shall not obligate a party to waive any such condition), (i) obtain all necessary Consents, (including the expiration or termination of any waiting periods) from Governmental Authorities

and the making of all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Authorities (and, in the case of filings required to be made pursuant to the HSR Act, making such filings not later than 10 Business Days after the Execution Date) and take all steps as may be necessary to avoid, or to have terminated, if begun, any action, suit or proceeding by any Governmental Authority by the End Date, (i) execute and deliver additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement and (i) defend any investigations, actions, suits or proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including seeking to avoid the entry of, or to have reversed, terminated, lifted or vacated, any stay, temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief or order entered by any Governmental Authority that could prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.5 or otherwise, Purchaser shall take, or cause to be taken (including by its Affiliates), any and all steps and to make, or cause to be paid (including by its Affiliates), any and all undertakings necessary to resolve such objections, if any, that a Governmental Authority may assert under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case, so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable, including, without limitation, (i) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any businesses, assets, Securities, product lines or properties of Purchaser (or its Affiliates) or the Company Group or any Securities in any joint venture held by Purchaser (or its Affiliates) or the Company Group, (i) creating, terminating or divesting relationships, ventures, contractual rights or obligations of Purchaser (or its Affiliates) or the Company Group and (i) otherwise taking or committing to take any action that would limit Purchaser’s (or its Affiliates’) freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain or hold, directly or indirectly, any businesses, assets, Securities, product lines or properties of Purchaser (or its Affiliates) or the Company Group or any Securities in any joint venture held by Purchaser (or its Affiliates) or the Company Group (each of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), a “Regulatory Remedial Action”); provided, however, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to agree to any Burdensome Condition.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) furnish to the Other Party as promptly as reasonably practicable all information required for any application or other filing to be made by the Other Party pursuant to any applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (i) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any inquiries received from, and supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information or documentation that may be requested by, the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) or by any other Governmental Authority in respect of such registrations, declarations and filings or such transactions, (i) promptly notify the Other Party of any material communication between that Party and the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority, (i) discuss with and, to the extent reasonably practicable, permit the Other Party (and its counsel) to review in advance, and consider in good faith the Other Party’s reasonable comments in connection with, any proposed filing or communication to the FTC, the DOJ, or any other Governmental Authority or,

in connection with any proceeding by a private party to any other Person, relating to any regulatory Law or any investigation or other action, suit or proceeding pursuant to any regulatory Law in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (i) not participate or agree to participate in any meeting, telephone call or discussion with the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry relating to any regulatory Law or any investigation or other action, suit or proceeding pursuant to any regulatory Law in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby unless it, to the extent reasonably practicable, consults with the Other Party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the Other Party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, telephone call or discussion, (i) furnish the Other Party promptly with copies of all correspondence and communications relating to any regulatory Law or any investigation or other action, suit or proceeding pursuant to any regulatory Law between them and their Affiliates and their respective representatives on the one hand, and the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority or members of their respective staffs on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (i) cooperate in good faith with the Other Party in connection with any such registrations, declarations and filings and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry of any such agency or other Governmental Authority under the HSR Act or any other regulatory Law with respect to any such registration, declaration and filing or any such transaction. Anything to the contrary in this Section 8.5(c) notwithstanding, materials provided to the Other Party or its outside counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries or the members of the Company Group or as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser agree not to extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, except with the prior consent of the Other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Purchaser shall bear any filing fees in connection with any filings made pursuant to the HSR Act, other than in connection with the Restructuring, which shall be deemed to be a Transaction Cost.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.5 shall require, or be construed to require Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the members of the Company Group, but in the case of the Company Group subject to completion of the Closing and pursuant to any agreement reached by Purchaser with respect to the Company Group for periods following the Closing) to agree to any Regulatory Remedial Action or CFIUS Remedial Action or sell, divest, discontinue, hold separate or limit any assets, businesses or interests, terminate, modify, or create any ventures, terminate or modify any existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations, effectuate any other changes or restructurings, create any contractual rights or obligations or firewalls, refrain from making any investment or acquisition, or any conditions relating to, or changes or restrictions in, the operations of any such assets, businesses or interests.

(e) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 8.5 (other than clauses (d) and (e)) shall not apply to any matters relating to the DPA, CFIUS or the CFIUS Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including this Section 8.5):

(i) In no event shall Purchaser or Seller or any of their respective Affiliates (including Parent and any of its Affiliates) or its and their respective Representatives initiate any communication with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, any member agency thereof or any representative, agent or employee thereof (collectively, “CFIUS”) acting under the DPA, regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that if CFIUS initiates any inquiry, communication, review or request to submit a joint declaration or voluntary notice (“CFIUS Notice”) under the DPA, such Party shall promptly inform the Other Party of such inquiry or communication and the following obligations shall become effective. Purchaser and Seller shall take commercially reasonable efforts to persuade CFIUS that there is no national security threat associated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that no CFIUS Notice is necessary. If Purchaser believes in good faith that it cannot persuade CFIUS that it is not necessary to submit a CFIUS Notice, Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to persuade CFIUS to allow the transaction to close as promptly as practicable, pending any review or investigation, and the Purchaser and Seller shall submit as promptly as practicable a complete CFIUS Notice that is in full compliance with the DPA (the “Requested CFIUS Filing”). Seller and Purchaser shall each, to their fullest ability, comply with the provisions of the DPA during the pendency of the CFIUS review or investigation, including with respect to any required timeframe for responding to a CFIUS request for information. Purchaser and Seller and their respective Affiliates shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take any and all steps advisable, necessary or desirable to finally and successfully obtain the CFIUS Approval as promptly as practicable and in no event later than the End Date, including but not be limited to the following (provided, however, in no event shall Purchaser or any of its Affiliates be required to agree to any Burdensome Condition): proposing, negotiating, committing to, entering into and effecting, by mitigation agreement, voting trust agreement or proxy agreement, letter of assurance, security control agreement, special security arrangement, restrictions or actions that after the Closing would limit Purchaser’s or any of its Affiliates’ freedom of action, ownership, control, influence, management or access over the business, property or assets of the Company Group or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (and, in each case, to enter into agreements or stipulate to the entry of an order or decree or file appropriate applications with any Governmental Authority in connection with any of the foregoing) (a “CFIUS Remedial Action”).

(ii) In the event that CFIUS takes any action or threatens to take any action (prior to or after the submission of the CFIUS Notice) to challenge, suspend or prohibit the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to prevent or delay the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall take any and all actions necessary, including but not limited to any CFIUS Remedial Action to avoid or resolve such challenge or threatened suspension or prohibition, provided, however, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to agree to any Burdensome Condition. Purchaser and Seller shall be jointly entitled to direct any proceedings or negotiations with CFIUS after consulting with each other.

(iii) Each of Seller and Purchaser shall, in connection with the efforts referenced in Section 8.5(e) to obtain CFIUS Approval:

(A) cooperate in all respects and consult with each other in connection with any filing, submission, or other written communication and in connection with any review or investigation or other inquiry under the DPA, including by allowing the other party to have a reasonable opportunity to review in advance and comment on drafts of filings, submissions, and other written communications, provided that such advance review is not required where it would reasonably prevent the Parties from satisfying a deadline imposed by CFIUS or the communication was initiated by CFIUS and it was impracticable to provide the Other Party an opportunity to participate.

(B) to the extent permitted by Law, promptly inform the other party of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to CFIUS, by promptly providing copies to the other party of any such written communications, and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(A) to the extent permitted by Law, use commercially reasonable efforts to permit the other party to review in advance any written communication that it gives to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting, telephone call or conference or communication with CFIUS or any agency, division or branch of the United States Government regarding the DPA review or investigation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that materials exchanged under (i), (ii) and (iii) may be redacted (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of Purchaser or the Company Group (or any of their Affiliates), (B) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns and (C) to remove any personal identifying information, as defined in the DPA; and

(B) not attend or participate in any meetings with CFIUS without the other party, unless otherwise requested by CFIUS or as agreed by the Parties.

(iv) The parties may designate, as they deem advisable and necessary, any sensitive information materials required to be provided to the other under this Section 8.5(e) as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and shall not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the party providing such materials or its counsel.

(v) “CFIUS Approval” means that either:

(A) Seller and Purchaser each shall have received any of the following: (A) a written determination from CFIUS that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not subject to the DPA; or (A) a written confirmation from CFIUS of the completion of the review and, if applicable, investigation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and a written determination from CFIUS that there

are no unresolved national security concerns with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or

(B) (A) the period of time for any applicable review or investigation pursuant to the DPA shall have expired and the President of the United States shall not have taken action to block or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (A) the President of the United States shall have provided written notice of his decision not to take such action.

Section 8.6 Amendment of the Disclosure Schedule.

(a) From time to time prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller may at its option supplement or amend and deliver updates to (or add schedules to) the Disclosure Schedules as necessary to complete or correct any information in such Schedules or in any representation or warranty in Article 4 or Article 5 (each, a “Seller Schedule Update”); provided that, in the event of any Seller Schedule Update, (i) if Seller acknowledges that as a result of the facts disclosed in such Seller Schedule Update Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(b) and (i) Purchaser elects to consummate the Closing, and the Seller Schedule Update pursuant to this Section 8.6(a) relates to any matter first arising after the date of this Agreement, then, such Seller Schedule Update shall be deemed to amend the Disclosure Schedules prepared by Seller and delivered to Purchaser hereunder. If Seller does not acknowledge that Purchaser has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(b), then such Seller Schedule Update shall not be deemed to be effective for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) From time to time prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser may at its option supplement or amend and deliver updates to (or add schedules to) the Disclosure Schedules as necessary to complete or correct any information in such Schedules or in any representation or warranty in Article 6 (each, a “Purchaser Schedule Update”); provided that, in the event of any Purchaser Schedule Update, (i) if Purchaser acknowledges that as a result of the facts disclosed in such Purchaser Schedule Update, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(c) and (i) Seller elects to consummate the Closing, and the Purchaser Schedule Update pursuant to this Section 8.6(b) relates to any matter first arising after the date of this Agreement, then such Purchaser Schedule Update shall be deemed to amend the Disclosure Schedules prepared by Purchaser and delivered to Seller hereunder. If Purchaser does not acknowledge that Seller has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(c), then such Purchaser Schedule Update shall not be deemed to be effective for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 8.7 Press Releases. Any initial press release with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a release mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser. Thereafter, Seller and Purchaser shall consult with each other and provide each other with the opportunity to review and comment upon any press release or other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or this Agreement and Seller and Purchaser shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, issue any such other press release or other public statements prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law or any listing agreement related to the trading of the shares of Purchaser on any national securities exchange,

in which case the Party proposing to issue such press release or make such public announcement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the Other Party and provide the Other Party with an opportunity to review and comment on the content of the proposed disclosure, which comments such Party shall consider in good faith, acting reasonably, before issuing any such press release or making any such public announcement; provided, however, that (i) each of Seller and Purchaser and their respective Affiliates may make press releases or public announcements concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby if the substance of such releases or announcements was previously disclosed in previous press releases or announcements made by Seller and/or the Purchaser in compliance with this Section 8.7, (i) Purchaser and its Affiliates may make any public statements in response to questions by the press, analysts, investors or analysts or those participating in investor calls or industry conferences, so long as the substance of such statements was previously disclosed in previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by Purchaser and/or Seller and their respective Affiliates in compliance with this Section 8.7 and (i) Purchaser and its Affiliates may make statements to Governmental Authorities or any Third Party holding preferential rights to purchase, rights of consent, or other rights that may be applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as reasonably necessary to provide notices, seek waivers, amendments, or terminations of such rights, or seek such consents. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall be liable for the compliance of its Affiliates with the terms of this Section 8.7.

Section 8.8 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all expenses incurred by Seller in connection with or related to the authorization, preparation, or execution of this Agreement, and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto, and all other matters related to the Closing, including all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, and financial advisers employed by Seller, shall be borne solely and entirely by Seller, and all such expenses incurred by Purchaser shall be borne solely and entirely by Purchaser.

Section 8.9 Records. Purchaser shall preserve and keep a copy of all Records in Purchaser’s or the Company Group’s possession for a period of at least seven years after the Closing Date. After such seven year period, before Purchaser shall dispose of any such Records, Purchaser shall give Seller at least 90 days’ Notice to such effect, and Seller shall be given an opportunity, at Seller’s cost and expense, to remove and retain all or any part of such Records as Seller may select. From and after Closing, Purchaser shall provide to Seller, at Seller’s expense, reasonable access to such books and records as remain in Purchaser’s possession and reasonable access to the Assets and other properties and employees of Purchaser in connection with matters relating to the ownership or operations of the Assets on or before the Closing Date, or any claims or disputes (a) amongst any members of the Seller Group or (a) with any Third Parties.

(a) from and after Closing, Purchaser agrees, on behalf of Purchaser and each member of the Company Group, that they (i) shall have no right to use the name “First Reserve” or any Trademark Rights related thereto or containing or comprising the foregoing, including any name or mark confusingly similar thereto or a derivative thereof (collectively, the “Subject Marks”), and

(i) will not at any time market, promote, advertise or offer for sale any products, goods or services utilizing any of the Subject Marks or otherwise hold themselves out as having any affiliation with Seller or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that nothing shall prevent, restrict or otherwise limit Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from making general statements regarding the historical relationship between the Company Group and Seller or any of its Affiliates. In furtherance thereof, as promptly as reasonably practicable after Closing, and in any event, no later than 60 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser and the Company Group shall: (1) change the legal name of each member of the Company Group to a name which does not include any Subject Marks and file all documentation reasonably necessary to change the legal name of each member of the Company Group in all applicable jurisdictions; and (1) remove, strike over, cover or otherwise obliterate all Subject Marks from all materials, including, without limitation, any vehicles, business cards, schedules, stationary, packaging materials, displays, signs, promotional materials, manuals, forms, computer software and other materials.

Section 8.11 Seismic Licenses.

(a) Purchaser acknowledges that one or more members of the Company Group holds the data and geophysical licenses and permits described on Schedule 8.11 (each a “Seismic License”). Pursuant to the terms of such Seismic Licenses, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder may require the consent of the applicable licensor, or the payment of one or more transfer, assignment or change of control fees or payments unless the applicable member of the Company Group cancels or terminates such Seismic License. Within 20 Business days following the Execution Date, with Seller’s reasonable assistance and cooperation, Purchaser shall determine which Seismic Licenses should be designated on Part A of Schedule 8.11 and which Seismic Licenses should be designated on Part B of Schedule 8.11.

(b) With respect to those Seismic Licenses to be described on Part A of Schedule 8.11, Purchaser has elected that at or after Closing the applicable member of the Company Group pay

to the applicable Third Party under such Seismic License any and all transfer, assignment or change of control fees or payments required under such Seismic Licenses in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder (other those that the Third Party expressly designates in writing result from to the Restructuring, in which case such fees or payment shall be considered Transaction Costs), in no event shall such payment of fees or payments result in any downward reduction to the Unadjusted Purchase Price and Purchaser and the Company Group shall, after Closing, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the Seller Group from any and all Damages arising out of the payment, mispayment or failure to pay such fees and payments, except to the extent the Third Party under such Seismic License expressly designates in writing that such fees or payments result from the Restructuring or any action taken during the Pre-Closing Period (other than the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, other than the Restructuring), in which case such fees and payments shall be considered Transaction Costs and shall result in downward reduction to the Unadjusted Purchase Price.

(c) With respect to those Seismic Licenses to be described on Part B of Schedule 8.11, Seller shall, at its option, elect to cause the Company Group either to cancel and terminate such Seismic Licenses and destroy and/or return to the applicable counterparties under such Seismic Licenses any and all data, information and records required to destroyed or returned under the terms thereof or assign such Seismic Licenses to Seller or its designee and such Seismic Licenses shall be treated as Excluded Assets hereunder; provided that any and all transfer, assignment or change of control fees or payments required to be paid (or that are paid) by the Company Group under such Seismic Licenses in connection with their cancelation, termination or assignment as contemplated by this Section 8.11(c), shall be considered Transaction Costs and shall result in downward reduction to the Unadjusted Purchase Price.

Section 8.12 Employee Matters.

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is 24 months after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide each individual who is an employee of any member of the Company Group as of immediately prior to the Closing (each, a “Continuing Employee”) with: (i) base salary or hourly wages, as applicable, that are no less than the base salary or hourly wages provided to such Continuing Employee as of the time immediately prior to Closing and (i) for the period after December 31, 2018, (A) annual cash bonus opportunities, (A) long-term equity incentive compensation opportunities and (A) other employee benefits (other than severance benefits) that are, in each case, no less favorable than those provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Affiliates. During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2018, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, maintain the Company Plans on terms and conditions no less favorable than those in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, including with regard to (x) employer contribution levels, (y) annual bonus amounts and performance metrics (which bonus amounts shall be pro-rated for the period between the Effective Time and December 31, 2018) and (z) paid time off, including policies with respect to accrued, unused paid time off. If any Continuing Employee has accrued, unused paid time off under the applicable Company Plan as of December 31, 2018, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, pay out to such Continuing Employee such accrued,

unused paid time off, which payout shall occur on Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s first regularly scheduled pay date that is on or after January 1, 2019.

(b) With respect to any employee benefit plans or arrangements (including under any Company Plan or any other applicable 401(k), medical, dental, life insurance, vacation, leave or severance plan) provided, sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Purchaser or its Affiliates (collectively, “Purchaser Plans”) in which any Continuing Employee is eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, recognize all service of such Continuing Employee with the Company Group and any predecessor employer as if such service were with Purchaser for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting, but not for benefit accrual purposes (except for vacation and severance); provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that (i) such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service or (i) such service was not recognized under the corresponding Company Plan.

(c) With respect to any Purchaser Plans that are “employee welfare benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) (collectively, “Purchaser Welfare Plans”) in which a Continuing Employee is eligible to participate on or after the Closing, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to: (i) waive all pre-existing condition limitations, waiting period provisions, payments required to avoid a waiting period, actively-at-work requirements and any other restriction that would prevent immediately or full participation by any Continuing Employee, in each case, to the same extent such limitations, requirements and restrictions did not apply or were satisfied under the corresponding Company Plan prior to the Closing Date and (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to give effect to claims incurred, amounts paid by and amounts reimbursed to any Continuing Employee prior to the Closing Date when determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limits under the Purchaser Welfare Plans following the Closing Date for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, in each case, to the same extent recognized under the corresponding Company Plan prior to the Closing.

(d) The Purchaser shall provide or cause to be provided to each Continuing Employee whose employment with the Purchaser or its Affiliate terminates pursuant to an Involuntary Termination during the 18-month period immediately following the Closing Date with a cash severance payment in an amount equal to the base salary or hourly wages, as applicable, that such employee would have been eligible to receive if he or she had remained continuously employed by the Purchaser or its Affiliate through the end of such 18-month period (the “Severance Payment”), which Severance Payment shall be payable in a lump sum within 60 days following the date of such termination, subject to such Continuing Employee’s execution and non-revocation of a customary and reasonable release of claims in favor of the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company Group) (which release may include customary and lawful non-disclosure restrictions but which release shall not introduce new terms with respect to non-competition or non-solicitation of customers or suppliers);provided, however, that if such Continuing Employee has entered into an employment, severance or change in control agreement with any member of the Company Group or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or otherwise participates in any other Company Plan or Purchaser Plan that provides for severance pay (an “Other Severance Arrangement”) and such employee is eligible for severance pay or other benefits pursuant to such Other Severance Arrangement as a

result of his or her Involuntary Termination, then the Purchaser or its Affiliate shall provide such employee with either (x) the severance pay and other benefits provided for under Other Severance Arrangement (and not the Severance Payment provided for under this Section 8.12(d)) if such severance pay and other benefits under the Other Severance Arrangement exceed the Severance Payment provided for in this Section 8.12(d) or (y) the Severance Payment provided for in this Section 8.12(d), offset by the amount of any severance payable to such Continuing Employee under the Other Severance Arrangement. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Involuntary Termination” means any termination of such Continuing Employee’s employment with the Purchaser or its Affiliate which results from (i) a termination by the Purchaser or its Affiliate without “cause” (as defined in the Parent Equity Plan) or (i) a resignation by such employee on or before the date which is 75 days after the date upon which such employee receives notice of a (A) reduction in such employee’s base compensation or employee benefits (provided that the provision of employee benefits by Purchaser and its Affiliates in accordance with Section 8.12(a)(ii) shall not constitute grounds for an Involuntary Termination), (A) material diminution in such employee’s authority or responsibilities, (A) change in the location of such employee’s principal place of employment by more than 50 miles from the location where such employee was principally employed immediately prior to the Closing Date or (A) Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s material breach of such employee’s employment agreement with a member of the Company Group, if any; provided, that (1) the event described in clauses (A) through (D) above arose without such employee’s written consent, (1) the Continuing Employee provides Purchaser with written notice specifying the occurrence of such event within 30 days after such event first occurs and (1) Purchaser and its Affiliates fail to cure such event within 30 days after receipt of such written notice from the Continuing Employee. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Involuntary Termination” shall not include a termination of a Continuing Employee’s employment as a result of his or her death or Disability (as defined in the Parent Equity Plan).

(e) To the extent that any obligations under WARN (collectively, “WARN Obligations”) arise with respect to any employee of any member of the Company Group who is found to have suffered an “employment loss” under WARN on or after the Closing or who, by reason of actions by Purchaser or its Affiliate after the Closing, is deemed to have suffered an “employment loss” under WARN at or prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for such WARN Obligations; provided, that no later than 15 days prior to the Closing Date, Seller has provided Purchaser with a true and accurate schedule indicating how many employees of the Company Group have had their employment terminated or have been notified of an “employment loss” (as defined by the federal WARN Act) during the preceding 90-day period, which schedule shall be updated by Seller as of the Closing Date.

(f) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause each member of the Company Group to take such actions as Purchaser may reasonably request so as to enable the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company Group) to effect such actions relating to any Company Plan as Purchaser may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate, including terminating such plan, program or arrangement prior to the Closing (subject to the terms of such plan, program or arrangement and applicable Law).

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and without limiting the generality of Section 14.12, all provisions contained in this Section 8.12 are included for the sole benefit of the Parties, and nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, whether express or implied, shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Plan, Purchaser Plan or other employee benefit plan, agreement or other arrangement, shall limit the right of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Company Plan, Purchaser Plan or other employee benefit plan, agreement or other arrangement following the Closing Date or shall confer upon any other Person who is not a party to this Agreement (including any current or former Service Provider or Continuing Employee or any participant in any Company Plan, Purchaser Plan or other employee benefit plan, agreement or other arrangement (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof)) any right to continued or resumed employment or recall, any right to compensation or benefits, or any third-party beneficiary or other right of any kind or nature whatsoever.

Section 8.13 Hedges. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that none of the Hedges shall be liquidated prior to Closing. From and after Closing, Purchaser and each member of the Company Group shall (i) pay and be responsible for any and all Damages arising out of or in connection with the Hedges, including any breakage and settlement costs and expenses in connection with the Hedges and any and all costs and expenses with respect to any liquidations thereof and (i) be entitled to any and all proceeds, payments and benefits arising out of or in connection the Hedges, including any and all settlements and payments in connection with any liquidations thereof.

Section 8.16 Termination of Related Party Agreements and Intercompany Accounts. Except with respect to the Excluded Arrangements, prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Company Group to, (a) pay, settle or discharge all account balances owed from any member of the Company Group to any Related Party and (a) terminate all Contracts between or among any member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and any Related Party, on the other hand (and any Related Party Contract), in each case without any continuing Liability of any of the members of the Company Group thereunder. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser written evidence of each such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Excluded Arrangements” means (i) any employment, severance or other similar arrangements with directors, officers or employees of the Company Group in their capacities as such (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any invention and non-disclosure, restrictive covenant or similar agreements), (i) compensation for services performed by a Related Party as director, officer or employee of the Company Group and

From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless (and advance expenses to) the Company Group Indemnified Parties as provided in the Governing Documents of the applicable member of the Company Group in existence as of the Closing, which Governing Documents have been provided to Purchaser prior to the date hereof.

(b) At or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the Company Group to purchase (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense), and, following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause the Company Group to maintain for six years after the Effective Time, for the benefit of the Company Group Indemnified Parties the D&O Insurance with an insurer or insurers with the same or better credit rating as the current carrier or carriers of the Company Group, which D&O Insurance shall provide coverage for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time and cover each such person covered by directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies of the Company Group in effect on the Executive Date on terms with respect to coverage and in amounts no less favorable in the aggregate than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies of the Company Group in effect on the Execution Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company Group expend for such D&O Insurance an aggregate amount in excess of 300% of the amount per annum the Company Group paid in its last full fiscal year for its existing coverage; and provided, further, however, that if the aggregate premium for such insurance coverage exceeds 300% of such annual amount, the Company Group shall obtain as much coverage as reasonably practicable for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(c) The provisions of this Section 8.17 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Company Group Indemnified Party and (i) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by Contract or otherwise. Purchaser shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Company Group Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity obligations provided in this Section 8.17 unless it is ultimately determined that such Company Group Indemnified Party is not entitled to such indemnity.

(d) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, if Purchaser, or any of its successors or assigns, (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (i) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser honor the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 8.17.

Section 8.18 Section 16(b) Matters.

Section 8.19 Takeover Laws. If any Takeover Laws or any anti-takeover provision or restriction on ownership in the Governing Documents of Purchaser or Parent is or may become applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser shall grant such approvals and take all such actions as are necessary or advisable so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute, regulation or provision in Purchaser’s or Parent’s Governing Documents on such transactions.

ARTICLE 11
TAX MATTERS

Section 11.1 Transfer Taxes and Recording Fees. Purchaser shall bear and pay (a) any sales, use, transfer, stamp, documentary, registration, excise, or similar Taxes (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred or imposed with respect to the purchase and sale of the Subject Securities, and (a) all required filing and recording fees and expenses in connection with the filing and recording of the assignments, conveyances, or other instruments required to convey the Subject Securities to Purchaser. Seller shall bear all Transfer Taxes incurred or imposed with respect to the Restructuring. Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the amount of any Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, join in the execution of any Tax Returns for any Transfer Taxes.

Section 11.2 Tax Returns.

(a) Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Seller in the preparation of, (i) all Tax Returns for Income Taxes of the Company Group that do not include any Post-Closing Income Tax Period, (i) all Tax Returns for Non-Income Taxes of the Company Group that do not include any Post-Effective Time Non-Income Tax Period. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practice and without a change of any election or any accounting method that could reasonably be anticipated to have an adverse effect on a Post-Closing Income Tax Period or a Post-Effective Time Non-Income Tax Period, as applicable, except, in each ease, to the extent otherwise required by applicable Laws, and Seller shall pay, or cause the Company Group to pay, all Seller Taxes shown as due and payable on such Tax Returns. Seller shall permit Purchaser to review and comment on each such Tax Return prior to filing it and shall reasonably and in good faith consider such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Purchaser.

(b) Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns of the Company Group for all Straddle Tax Periods that are required to be filed after the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions of the due date). Such Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practice and without a change of any election or any accounting method that could reasonably be anticipated to have an adverse effect on a Pre-Closing Income Tax Period or Pre-Effective Time Non-Income Tax Period, as applicable, except, in each ease, to the extent otherwise required by applicable Laws. At least 30 days prior to the due date for filing any such Tax Return (other than (i) Tax Returns that are due less than 30 days after the Closing Date which shall be provided as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date and (i) Tax Returns relating to sales, use, payroll, or other Taxes that are required to be filed contemporaneously with, or promptly after, the close of a Tax period, which shall be provided promptly after filing), Purchaser shall deliver a draft of such Tax Return, together with all supporting documentation and workpapers, to Seller for its review and comment on items that relate to a Pre-Closing Income Tax Period or Pre-Effective Time Non-Income Tax Period, as applicable. If Seller objects to any such item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within 10 days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Purchaser in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection is duly delivered, Purchaser and Seller shall

105

negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach such agreement within 10 days after receipt by Purchaser of such notice of objection, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Accounting Referee, and the provisions of Section 2.5(c) shall apply to the Accounting Referee’s review and determination, mutatis mutandis. If the Accounting Referee is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Purchaser and then amended to reflect the Accounting Referee’s resolution. Seller shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for any Seller Taxes shown as due and payable on any such Tax Return (or any amended Tax Return filed following resolution of a dispute by the Accounting Referee) in cash and/or shares of Parent Common Equity determined in accordance with the provisions under Article 13. To the extent that the amount of Taxes shown as due and payable on any amended Tax Return filed following resolution of a dispute by the Accounting Referee for which Seller would be obligated to indemnify Purchaser under Section 13.2 is less than the amount that was shown as due and payable on the previously filed Tax Return, Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller an amount equal to the difference, in a pro rata amount of cash and/or shares of Parent Common Equity as received by Purchaser pursuant to the previous sentence (determined in a manner consistent with which Seller’s payment pursuant to the previous sentence was determined).

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns of the Company Group that are not described in (a) or (b) shall be exclusively within the control of Purchaser.

Section 11.3 Straddle Period Income Taxes. To the extent permitted or required by applicable Law, the tax year of each member of the Company Group with respect to Income Taxes that includes the Closing Date shall be treated as closing on (and including) the Closing Date. To the extent such treatment is not permitted by applicable Law, in the case of Income Taxes of any member of the Company Group that are payable with respect to any Straddle Tax Period, the portion of any such Income Taxes that is attributable to the portion of such Straddle Tax Period ending on the Closing Date shall be the amount that would be payable if the Straddle Tax Period ended with (and included) the Closing Date.

Section 11.4 Non-Income Taxes.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) ”Pre-Effective Time Non-Income Taxes” means all Non-Income Taxes attributable to any Pre-Effective Time Non-Income Tax Period, and (i) ”Post-Effective Time Non-Income Taxes” means all Non-Income Taxes attributable to any Post-Effective Time Non-Income Tax Period.

(b) For purposes of determining the amounts of any Pre-Effective Time Non-Income Taxes and any Post-Effective Time Non-Income Taxes: (i) Non-Income Taxes that are attributable to the severance or production of Hydrocarbons (other than such Non-Income Taxes described in clause (iii)) shall be allocated to the period in which the severance or production giving rise to such Non-Income Taxes occurred, (i) Non-Income Taxes that are based upon or related to sales or receipts or imposed on a transactional basis (other than such Non-Income Taxes described in clause (i) or (iii)), shall be allocated to the period in which the transaction giving rise to such Non-Income Taxes occurred, and (i) with respect to Non-Income Taxes not described in clauses (i) or (ii), the amount

106

of Pre-Effective Time Non-Income Taxes shall be deemed to be the amount of such Non-Income Taxes for the entire Straddle Tax Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Tax Period ending on and including date in which Effective Time occurs and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Tax Period.

(c) To the extent the actual amount of a Non-Income Tax is not known at the time an adjustment is to be made with respect to such Non-Income Tax pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 2.5, as applicable, the Parties shall utilize the most recent information available in estimating the amount of such Non-Income Tax for purposes of such adjustment. To the extent the actual amount of a Pre-Effective Time Non-Income Tax liability is ultimately determined to be less than the amount that was taken into account as a Working Capital Liability as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4, timely payments shall be made from Purchaser to Seller in an amount equal to such difference; and, to the extent the actual amount of benefit realized from a prepaid Post-Effective Time Non-Income Tax (including any carryforward, refund, credit or other Tax benefit relating thereto) is ultimately determined to be less than the amount that was taken into account as a Working Capital Asset as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4, timely payments shall be made from Seller to Purchaser in an amount equal to such difference.

Section 11.5 Tax Cooperation and Contests.

(a) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate fully as and to the extent reasonably requested by the Other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, claim, litigation, or similar proceeding (each a “Tax Proceeding”) with respect to Taxes imposed on or with respect to the assets, operations or activities of any member of the Company Group. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(b) If any Tax Proceeding in respect of which Seller would be required to indemnify Purchaser under ‎Section 13.2 is asserted or initiated in writing against Purchaser or any member of the Company Group, Purchaser or the Company Group shall promptly notify Seller of such Tax Proceeding in writing after receipt thereof, and shall give Seller such information with respect thereto as Seller may reasonably request; provided that the failure of Purchaser to give notice thereof shall not relieve Seller of its obligations to indemnify Purchaser under ‎Section 13.2, except to the extent that such failure materially and adversely prejudiced Seller. Seller shall have the right to participate in and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 11.5(b), shall be entitled to, at its own expense, control and appoint lead counsel reasonably acceptable to Purchaser for the defense of any Tax Proceeding that relates solely to Taxes in respect of which Seller would be required to indemnify Purchaser under ‎Section 13.2; provided that, (i) prior to assuming control of such defense, Seller must acknowledge that it would have an indemnity obligation under ‎Section 13.2 for Taxes and Damages resulting from such Tax Proceeding and (i) Seller shall not settle such a Tax Proceeding without Purchaser’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If Seller assumes control of such defense, Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Proceeding and Purchaser shall have the right

107

(but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by Seller. Purchaser shall control any Tax Proceeding that relates in part, but not solely, to Taxes in respect of which Seller would be required to indemnify Purchaser under ‎Section 13.2; provided that Seller shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in the conduct of such a Tax Proceeding and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by Purchaser, Purchaser shall keep Seller reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Proceeding, and Purchaser shall not settle such a Tax Proceeding without Seller’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 11.5(b) shall govern the control and conduct of any Tax Proceeding described hereunder and the provisions in Section 13.5 shall not apply.

Section 11.6 Amended Returns. No amended Tax Return with respect to a Pre-Closing Income Tax Period, Pre-Effective Time Non-Income Tax Period or Straddle Tax Period shall be filed by or on behalf of any member of the Company Group without the consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 11.7 Tax Refunds. The amount of any refunds of Income Taxes of the Company Group for any Pre-Closing Income Tax Period and Non-Income Taxes of the Company Group for any Pre-Effective Time Non-Income Tax Period shall be for the account of Seller. The amount of any refunds of Income Taxes of the Company Group for any Post-Closing Tax Period and Non-Income Taxes of the Company Group for any Post-Effective Time Non-Income Tax Period shall be for the account of Purchaser or the Company Group. The amount of any refund of Taxes of the Company Group for any Straddle Tax Period shall be equitably apportioned between Purchaser (or the Company Group) and Seller in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 11.3 and Section 11.4, as applicable. Each Party shall forward, and shall cause its Affiliates to forward, to the Party entitled to receive a refund of Tax pursuant to this Section 11.7 the amount of such refund within 30 days after such refund is received, net of any reasonable third-party costs or expenses incurred by such Party or its Affiliates in procuring such refund.

Section 11.8 Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax Sharing Agreements binding upon any member of the Company Group (other than a Tax Sharing Agreement solely between or among members of the Company Group) shall be terminated as of, or prior to, the Closing Date. After such date, none of the members of the Company Group, Seller and its Affiliates and their respective representatives shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

Section 11.9 Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties intend and agree that the purchase and sale of the Acquired Companies pursuant hereto shall be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as Purchaser (i) acquiring the assets, and assuming the liabilities, of Drum I Management and Drum I from the sole member of Series I Seller, (ii) acquiring the assets, and the assuming the liabilities, of Drum II Management and Drum II from the sole member of Series II Seller, and (iii) acquiring the assets, and assuming the liabilities, of Drum III Management and Drum III from the sole member of Series III Seller.

Section 11.10 Section 754 Election. To the extent any member of the Company Group holds an interest in an entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income

108

tax purposes, prior to the Closing, Seller and members of the Company Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such partnership (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to have in effect a valid election under Section 754 of the Code and any comparable provision under applicable state or local Law (a “Section 754 Election”) for the taxable year during which the Closing occurs and to provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that a Section 754 Election is in effect with respect to such partnership (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) as of the Closing Date.

ARTICLE 12

Section 12.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (the date of any permitted termination of this Agreement under this Section 12.1, the “Termination Date”):

(a) by the mutual consent of Seller and Purchaser; or

(b) by Purchaser, if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of a Drum Entity or Seller set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause any condition set forth in Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b) not to be satisfied and such condition is incapable of being satisfied by the End Date or, if curable, is not cured by the Drum Entity or Seller within 30 days of receipt by Seller of written notice of such breach or failure; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.1(b) if Purchaser’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder causes any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 9.1 not to be satisfied; or

(c) by Seller, if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause the conditions set forth in Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b) not to be satisfied and such condition is incapable of being satisfied by the End Date or, if curable, is not cured by Purchaser within 30 days of receipt by Purchaser of written notice of such breach or failure; provided, however, that Seller shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.1(c) if Seller’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder causes any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 9.2 not to be satisfied.

(d) by either Seller or Purchaser upon written notice to the Other Party, if

(i) Closing has not occurred on or before November 3, 2018 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that either Seller or Purchaser may extend the End Date to a date that is not later than 90 days after November 3, 2018 if there is a Requested CFIUS Filing and, prior to the End Date, all of the conditions to the Other Party’s obligation to consummate the Closing set forth in Article 9 have been satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature can be satisfied only at the Closing and the conditions set forth in Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d), in the case of an extension by Purchaser, or Section 9.2(c) or Section 9.2(d), in the case of an extension by

109

Seller, in each case solely to the extent related to CFIUS Approval); provided, further, that neither Seller nor Purchaser may extend the End Date pursuant to this Section 12.1(d)(i) if it is in breach of this Agreement and such breach has primarily resulted in the failure of the Closing to have been consummated prior to the End Date; or

provided, however, no Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement under Section 12.1(d) if the Closing has failed to occur, or if an injunction, order, or award restraining, enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has become final and nonappealable, primarily as a result of such Party’s failure to perform or observe in any material respect such Party’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements hereunder (including the failure to perform the obligations of such Party with respect to the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereunder if and when required).

Section 12.2 Effect of Termination.

The Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(b) Subject to Section 12.2(d), in the event that (i) all conditions precedent to the obligations of Seller set forth in Section 9.1 have been satisfied or waived in writing by Seller (or would have been satisfied except for the breach or failure of any of Seller’s representations, warranties, or covenants hereunder) and (i) the Closing has not occurred solely as a result of the material breach or material failure of Seller’s representations, warranties, or covenants hereunder, including, if and when required, Seller’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder at the Closing, then Purchaser shall be entitled to promptly elect in writing, as the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser Group against any member of the Seller Group for such breach, to (A) enforce and cause the specific performance of this Agreement as permitted by Section 14.2, or (A) terminate this Agreement and receive a reimbursement of Purchaser’s direct, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with negotiation and execution of this Agreement for the sole account and use of Purchaser.

110

the sole and exclusive remedy of the Seller Group against any member of the Purchaser Group for such breach to either (A) enforce and cause the specific performance of this Agreement as permitted by Section 14.2, or (A) terminate this Agreement and receive a reimbursement of Seller’s direct, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with negotiation and execution of this Agreement for the sole account and use of Seller.

(d) In the event that Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1 (and Purchaser is not then in material breach of this Agreement) and such right of Purchaser to terminate this Agreement arose due the Willful and Material Breach or Fraud of Seller, then in addition to the other remedies provided in this Section 12.2, Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue a claim against Seller for Damages.

(e) In the event that Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1 (and Seller is not then in material breach of this Agreement) and such right of Seller to terminate this Agreement arose due the Willful and Material Breach or Fraud of Purchaser, then in addition to the other remedies provided in this Section 12.2, Seller shall be entitled to pursue a claim against Purchaser for Damages.

(c) Subject to Section 14.13 and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, except in respect of claims of Fraud, Purchaser Group shall not be entitled to indemnity or reimbursement from the Holdback Amount or any other recovery from Seller: (i) for any and all Damages relating to or arising out of any individual event, matter, or occurrence for which a Claim Notice is delivered by Purchaser and for Seller(s) admits (or it is otherwise finally determined) that Purchaser is entitled to indemnification or defense from Seller pursuant to Section 13.2(b) with respect to the Seller Non-Fundamental Representations or Section 13.2(e) (A) unless and until the amount of such Damages exceeds the Individual Threshold (it being agreed that the Individual Threshold represents a threshold and not a deductible); and (A) for any and all Damages that exceed the Individual Threshold, unless and until the aggregate amount of the sum of (x) all such Damages with respect to all Seller Non-Fundamental Representations and under Section 13.2(e) and (y) any Defect Amounts, collectively, exceeds 2% of Unadjusted Purchase Price (in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Damages); and (i) for any and all Damages under this Agreement in excess of the consideration actually received by Seller pursuant to this Agreement (after giving effect to the payment of any obligations under the Credit Documents and/or any Transaction Costs). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained

113

elsewhere in this Agreement, other than in respect of any Damages resulting from Fraud, Seller shall not be required to indemnify the Purchaser Group under this Article 13 for any Seller Capped Indemnification Obligations other than through disbursement of the Holdback Amount pursuant to Section 13.6.

(d) Subject to Article 12 and Section 14.13, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, except in respect of claims of Fraud, Seller shall not be entitled to indemnity from Purchaser: (i) for any and all Damages relating to or arising out of any individual event, matter, or occurrence for which a Claim Notice is delivered by Seller and for Purchaser admits (or it is otherwise finally determined) that Seller is entitled to indemnification or defense from Purchaser pursuant to Section 13.1(b) with respect to the Purchaser Non-Fundamental Representations (A) unless and until the amount of such Damages exceeds the Individual Threshold (it being agreed that the Individual Threshold represents a threshold and not a deductible), and (A) for any and all Damages that exceed the Individual Threshold, unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Damages with respect to all Purchaser Non-Fundamental Representations exceeds 2% of Unadjusted Purchase Price (in which case Seller shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Damages); (i) for cumulative aggregate Damages (after giving effect to Section 13.3(d)(i)(A) and Section 13.3(d)(i)(B) to satisfy the Purchaser Capped Indemnification Obligations, in excess of an amount equal to 10% of the Unadjusted Purchase Price; and (i) for any and all Damages under this Agreement in excess of the consideration actually paid by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in Article 12 and in the case of Fraud, after Closing, (i) the payment of money, as limited by the terms of this Agreement, shall be adequate compensation for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained herein or for any other claim arising in connection with or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (i) Purchaser and Seller hereby waive any and all rights to rescind, reform, cancel, terminate, revoke, or void this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, each Party shall have the non-exclusive right to specific performance and other equitable remedies available at law or equity (including injunctive relief) for the breach or failure of any Other Party to perform its obligations hereunder required to be performed after Closing.

(f) Seller shall not be required to indemnify Purchaser for any Post-Effective Time Non-Income Tax or Income Tax attributable to a Post-Closing Date Period under Section 13.2(b) with respect to any breach by Seller of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 5.11 (other than the representation or warranty set forth in Section 5.11(g) and Section 5.11(h)).

(g) For purposes of determining (i) the existence of any inaccuracy, misrepresentation, failure or breach of any representation or warranty and (i) the amount of any Damages that are indemnifiable hereunder with respect to such inaccuracies, misrepresentations, failures or breaches, the applicable representations and warranties (except in the case of Section 5.8(a) and Section 6.16(a)) will be read without regard and without giving effect to any materiality, Company Material Adverse Effect, Purchaser Material Adverse Effect or similar standard or qualification contained therein; provided, that this sentence shall not apply (A) with respect to any materiality

114

qualifier that qualifies an affirmative requirement to list specified items on the Schedules (as opposed to a disclosure against a representation and warranty), nor (A) be deemed to turn references to “Material Contract” to “Contract” or “Material Contracts” to “Contracts”.

(h) Seller waives any right of contribution, right of indemnity or advancement of expenses or other right or remedy Seller may have under any agreement to which Seller is a party as of the Closing, against the Purchaser, the Company Group or their respective Affiliates, in each case with respect to any indemnification obligation that Seller may have to Purchaser under this Agreement; provided, however, this Section 13.3(h) shall in no way affect any rights of (x) Seller under any Transaction Documents or (y) the Company Group Indemnified Parties.

Section 13.4 Exclusive Remedy and Certain Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, from and after Closing, except in respect of claims of Fraud, Purchaser agrees and shall cause each member of the Purchaser Group to agree that Purchaser’s and Purchaser Group’s sole and exclusive remedy against any member of the Seller Group with respect to the negotiation, performance, and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of any member of the Seller Group contained herein or in the Seller Certificate are (i) the rights to indemnification or defense from Seller set forth in Section 13.2, as limited by the terms of this Article 13, (i) the right to specific performance permitted by Section 14.2, (i) Purchaser’s rights under Section 8.22, (i) the rights to the adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.5 and (i) the remedies under the other Transaction Documents (the “Retained Claims”). Except for the Retained Claims, Purchaser waives, releases, remises, and forever discharges, and shall cause each member of the Purchaser Group to waive, release, remise, and forever discharge, each member of the Seller Group from any and all Damages, suits, legal or administrative proceedings, claims, demands, losses, costs, obligations, liabilities, interest, charges, or causes of action whatsoever, in law or in equity, known or unknown, which any member of the Purchaser Group might now or subsequently may have, based on, relating to or arising out of the negotiation, performance, and consummation of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder, or the condition, quality, status or nature of any Assets, INCLUDING RIGHTS TO CONTRIBUTION UNDER CERCLA OR ANY OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, BREACHES OF STATUTORY AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, NUISANCE OR OTHER TORT ACTIONS, RIGHTS TO PUNITIVE DAMAGES, COMMON LAW RIGHTS OF CONTRIBUTION, ANY RIGHTS UNDER INSURANCE POLICIES ISSUED OR UNDERWRITTEN BY ANY MEMBER OF THE PURCHASER GROUP, AND ANY RIGHTS UNDER AGREEMENTS AMONG ANY MEMBERS OF THE SELLER GROUP EVEN IF CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER GROSS, SOLE, JOINT, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, COMPARATIVE, OR CONCURRENT), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL FAULT OF ANY RELEASED PERSON, INVITEES OR THIRD PARTIES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, from and after Closing, except in respect of claims of Fraud, Seller agrees and shall cause each member of the Seller Group to agree that Seller’s and Seller Group’s sole and exclusive remedy against any member of the Purchaser Group with respect to the negotiation, performance, and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and any breach of the representations,

115

warranties, covenants and agreements of any member of the Seller Group contained herein or in the Seller Certificate are (A) the rights to indemnification or defense from Seller set forth in Section 13.2, as limited by the terms of this Article 13, (A) the right to specific performance permitted by Section 14.2 and (A) the rights to the adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.5. Except in respect of claims of Fraud, the Parties have agreed that should any representation or warranty of any Party prove inaccurate, incomplete or untrue, the Other Party shall only have the specific rights and remedies herein specified as the exclusive remedy therefor, that no other rights, remedies, or causes of action (whether in law or in equity or whether in contract or in tort or otherwise) are permitted to any Party as a result of the failure, breach, inaccuracy, incompleteness, or untruthfulness of any such representation and warranty.

(b) Any claim for indemnity under this Article 13 by any current or former Affiliate, stockholder, member, officer, director, employee, agent, lender, advisor, representative, accountant, attorney, and consultant of any Party must be brought and administered by the applicable Party to this Agreement. No Indemnified Person other than Seller and Purchaser shall have any rights against Seller, Purchaser or any of the Company Group under the terms of this Article 13, except as may be exercised on its behalf by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, pursuant to this Article 13. Seller and Purchaser may elect to exercise or not exercise indemnification rights under this Agreement 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 13.4.

(c) Each Indemnified Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or minimize all Damages upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages that are indemnifiable hereunder. The amount of any Damages for which an Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnity under this Article 13 shall be reduced by the amount of insurance or other Third Party proceeds, recoupment, reimbursements, or claims actually realized by Purchaser or applicable members of the Purchaser Group (including the Company Group) or Seller or the applicable members of the Seller Group, as applicable. In the event that any member of the Purchaser Group or Seller Group receives funds or proceeds from any insurance carrier or any other Third Party with respect to any Damages, Purchaser (in the case of Purchaser Group) and Seller (in the case of Seller Group) shall, regardless of when received by such member of the Purchaser Group or Seller Group, as applicable, promptly pay and reimburse Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, such funds or proceeds to the extent of any funds previously paid to or received by any member of the Purchaser Group or Seller Group, as applicable, respect to such Damages.

(d) The Parties shall treat, for U.S. federal, state and local income and applicable federal, state, local and non-U.S. Tax purposes, any amounts paid or received under this Article 13 as an adjustment to the Adjusted Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Laws.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, under no circumstances shall any Party be entitled to double recovery under this Agreement, and to the extent a Party is compensated for a matter through an adjustment to the Unadjusted Purchase Price or third-party recovery or insurance recovery actually received, such Party shall not have a separate right to indemnification hereunder for such matter.

116

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the rights of each member of the Purchaser Group to indemnification (and Seller’s obligations) under Section 13.2 (as limited by the terms hereof) shall be satisfied first (i) from the Holdback Amount (rounded up to the nearest number of whole shares) until there are no shares of Parent Common Equity remaining therein, second (i) by Seller, who shall surrender to Purchaser for cancellation an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Equity (rounded up to the nearest number of whole shares) calculated by dividing (x) the amount of such payment by (y) the Current Price, until Seller no longer owns any shares of Parent Common Equity and third (i) by Seller, in cash.

Section 13.5 Indemnification Actions. All claims for indemnification under Article 13 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) For purposes of this Article 13, the term “Indemnifying Party” when used in connection with particular Damages means (i) Seller in the event any member of the Purchaser Group is entitled to indemnity under Section 13.2 and (i) Purchaser in the event any member of the Seller Group is entitled to indemnification under Section 13.1. For purposes of this Article 13, the term “Indemnified Person” when used in connection with particular Damages means (x) Purchaser in the event any member of the Purchaser Group is entitled to indemnity under Section 13.2 and (y) Seller in the event any member of the Seller Group is entitled to indemnification under Section 13.1.

(b) To make a claim for indemnification, defense or reimbursement under this Article 13, an Indemnified Person shall notify the Indemnifying Party of its claim, including the specific details (including supporting documentation of the alleged Damages and such Indemnified Person’s good faith estimate of the applicable claim) of and specific basis under this Agreement for its claim (the “Claim Notice”).

(c) In the event that any claim for indemnification set forth in any Claim Notice is based upon a claim by a Third Party against the Indemnified Person (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Person shall provide its Claim Notice promptly after the Indemnified Person has actual knowledge of the Third Party Claim and shall enclose a copy of all papers (if any) served with respect to the Third Party Claim; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Person to give notice of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 13.5 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 13 except to the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the claim for indemnification is based upon an alleged inaccuracy or breach of a representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement, the Claim Notice shall specify the representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement that was allegedly inaccurate or breached.

(d) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 13.5 shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person for such defense, in each case at its own expense; provided that prior to assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party must acknowledge that, based on the facts set forth in the Claim Notice, it would have an indemnity obligation for the Damages resulting from such Third Party Claim as provided under this Article 13.

117

(e) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third Party Claim if (i) the Indemnifying Party does not deliver the acknowledgment and evidence referred to in Section 13.5(d) within 30 days of receipt of notice of the Claim Notice, (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (i) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates, (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or otherwise involves a claim by a Governmental Authority or a customer of the Company Group or (i) in the case of any member of the Purchaser Group, the amount of the Third Party Claim, if determined in accordance with the claimant’s demands, would reasonably be expected to result in any Damages, together with all other unresolved claims for indemnification by any member of the Purchaser Group, that would not be available for recovery under this Article 13.

(f) If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.5, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim; provided that consent of the Indemnified Person shall not be required for any such settlement if (i) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Purchaser Group or the Seller Group, as the case may be, from all Liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Third Party Claim and does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Purchaser Group or the Seller Group, as the case may be. An Indemnified Person may not settle any Third Party Claim for which it is seeking indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that the Indemnified Person may admit liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent so long as the Indemnified Person releases, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnifying Party, any claims to indemnification with respect to such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Article 13.

(g) In circumstances where the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with the foregoing, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Person; provided that in such event the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel (i) to the extent incurred by the Indemnified Person prior to the date that the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Third Party Claim or (i) if the Indemnified Person is advised by counsel that (A) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person in the conduct of the defense of such claim or (A) there may be one or more defenses or claims available to the Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party and that could be materially adverse to the Indemnifying Party. In the case of the foregoing clause (ii), the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Person reasonably informed with respect to such Third Party Claim and cooperate with the Indemnified Person in connection therewith.

118

(h) Each party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(i) In the case of a claim for indemnification not based upon a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), such Direct Claim shall be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt Claim Notice thereof; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Person to give notice of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 13.5 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 13 except to the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. Such Claim Notice by the Indemnified Person shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all available material written evidence thereof, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Person. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to (i) cure the Damages complained of, (i) (x) in the case of Seller, admit Purchaser’s right to indemnity and reimbursement against Seller in respect of such Direct Claim as provided in this Article 13 or (y) in the case of Purchaser, admit Seller’s right to indemnity and reimbursement against Purchaser in respect of such Direct Claim as provided in this Article 13, as applicable or (i) dispute the claim for such Damages. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Person within such 30 day period that it has cured the Damages or that it disputes the claim for such Damages, the Indemnifying Party shall be conclusively deemed (x) in the case of Seller, to have admitted Purchaser’s right to indemnity and reimbursement right against Seller in respect of such Direct Claim as provided in this Article 13 or (y) in the case of Purchaser, to have admitted Seller’s right to indemnity and reimbursement right against Purchaser in respect of such Direct Claim as provided in this Article 13, as applicable, and in each case, and the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to prompt payment of all Damages arising out of such claim in accordance with this Article 13. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its indemnity obligation for any Damages with respect to such Direct Claim, the Parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of jurisdiction determined pursuant to Section 14.4.

(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 13.5 shall not apply to any Tax Proceeding and the control and conduct of any Tax Proceeding shall be governed by Section 11.5(b).

Section 13.6 Holdback Amount.

(a) If at any time on or prior to the Second Holdback Deadline Purchaser delivers to Seller a Claim Notice or Mechanical Integrity Notice, as applicable, that Purchaser is entitled under Section 13.2 or Section 8.22, as applicable, to indemnity, payment, and reimbursement from the Holdback Amount for any alleged Damages, within 30 days after the receipt of any such Claim Notice or Mechanical Integrity Notice, as applicable, Seller shall either (i) (A) provide the Transfer Agent with the applicable Transfer Agent Documentation, in which case Purchaser shall also provide the Transfer Agent with any applicable Transfer Agent Documentation, and (A) Seller and Purchaser

(b) If Seller (i) fails to timely deliver a notice to Purchaser in response to a Purchaser’s Claim Notice or Mechanical Integrity Notice, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement or (i) timely delivers a notice that Seller disputes only a portion of the Damages alleged in Purchaser’s Claim Notice or Mechanical Integrity Notice, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement, then (A) in the case of subpart (i) of this Section 13.6(b), Seller and Purchaser shall (1) provide the Transfer Agent with the applicable Transfer Agent Documentation and (1) deliver to the Transfer Agent joint written instructions instructing the Transfer Agent to (I) transfer from the Holdback Amount to Purchaser a number of shares of Parent Common Equity (calculated at the Current Price) equal to entire amount of the alleged Damages specified in the applicable Claim Notice or Mechanical Integrity Notice, as applicable, and (II) remove the Restrictive Legends on such shares and (A) in the case of subpart (ii) of this Section 13.6(b), Seller and Purchaser shall (1) provide the Transfer Agent with the applicable Transfer Agent Documentation and (1) deliver to the Transfer Agent joint written instructions instructing the Transfer Agent to (I) transfer to Purchaser from the Holdback Amount a number of shares of Parent Common Equity (calculated at the Current Price) equal to the alleged Damages specified in Seller’s notice that are not in dispute and (II) remove the Restrictive Legends on such shares.

(ii) If following the First Holdback Deadline, but prior to the Second Holdback Deadline, the Parties reach final agreement or other final non-appealable resolution as to the Damages alleged by Purchaser in one or more Purchaser’s Claim Notices, Defect Notices (in accordance with Section 3.2), or, in accordance with Section 8.22, Mechanical Integrity Notices, as the case may be, that remained unresolved as of the First Holdback Deadline,

120

Seller and Purchaser shall (A) provide the Transfer Agent with the applicable Transfer Agent Documentation and (A) deliver to the Transfer Agent joint written instructions instructing the Transfer Agent, as applicable, to (1) transfer to Purchaser from the Holdback Amount a number of shares of Parent Common Equity (calculated at the Current Price as of the First Holdback Deadline) equal to any amounts to which Purchaser is entitled upon resolution of such dispute and remove the Restrictive Legends on such shares and (1) remove the Contract Legend on the remaining shares of Parent Common Equity that were held back in respect of the applicable claim pursuant to ‎Section 13.6(c)(i).

Section 14.2 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the rights of each Party hereunder are special, unique and of extraordinary character, that irreparable damage would occur and the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and it is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof.

This Agreement and the documents delivered pursuant hereto and the legal relations between the Parties shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Texas, without regard to principles of conflicts of Laws that would direct the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction; provided, however, in connection with the determination of the existence of any Defect or Title Benefit or with respect to conveyancing matters as to any Oil and Gas Property, the Laws of the state or commonwealth where such Oil and Gas Property is located pursuant to the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act shall govern and control such determination.

Section 14.4 Venue and Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Except as to any dispute, controversy, matters, or claim arising out of or in relation to or in connection with the calculation or determination of the Adjusted Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.3, Section 2.4 or Section 2.5 (which shall be resolved exclusively in accordance with Section 2.5(c)), the Parties irrevocably agree that the courts of the State of Texas in and for Harris County, Texas or the United States District Court located in Houston, Texas shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, controversy, matter, or claim between the Parties (each, subject to such exceptions, a “Dispute”). The Parties irrevocably agree that with respect to a Dispute, venue is proper in the courts of the State of Texas in and for Harris County, Texas, or the United States District Court located in Houston, Texas and each Party hereby irrevocably (i) agrees not to assert that the said venue is not proper or that the forum selected hereby is not convenient or that some other forum is more convenient, and (i) covenants not to commence litigation or other proceedings on a Dispute except in accordance with this Section 14.4.

(b) To the extent that any Party or any of its Affiliates has or hereafter may acquire immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such Party (on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) hereby irrevocably (i) waives such immunity in respect of its obligations with respect to this Agreement and (i) submits to the personal jurisdiction of any court described in Section 14.4(a). Further, each Party waives any objection which it may have pertaining to improper venue or forum non-conveniens to the conduct of any litigation or proceeding in the foregoing courts. Each Party agrees that any and all process directed to it in any such proceeding or litigation may be served upon it outside of the State of Texas in and for Harris County, Texas or the United States District Court located in Houston with the same force and effect as if such service had been made within the State of Texas in and for Harris County, Texas or the United States District Court located in Houston. The Parties agree that a dispute under this Agreement may raise issues that are common with one or more of

124

the other Transaction Documents or other documents executed by the Parties in connection herewith or which are substantially the same or interdependent and interrelated or connected with issues raised in a related dispute, controversy, or claim between or among the Parties and their Affiliates. Accordingly, any Party to a new Dispute under this Agreement may elect in writing within 15 days after the initiation of a new Dispute to refer such new Dispute for resolution by the applicable court together with any existing Dispute arising under this Agreement, other Transaction Documents or other documents executed by the Parties in connection herewith or which are substantially the same or interdependent and interrelated or connected. If the applicable court does not determine to consolidate such new Dispute with the existing Dispute within 30 days of receipt of written request, then the new Dispute shall not be consolidated, and the resolution of the new Dispute shall proceed separately.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION, ACTION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 14.5 Headings and Construction. The headings and captions herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to govern, limit, or aid in the construction of any term or provision hereof. The rights and obligations of each Party shall be determined pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party has had the opportunity to exercise business discretion in relation to the negotiation of the details and terms of the transaction contemplated hereby. This Agreement is the result of arm’s length negotiations from equal bargaining positions. It is the intention of the Parties that every covenant, term, and provision of this Agreement shall be construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any Party (notwithstanding any rule of law requiring an agreement to be strictly construed against the drafting Party) and no consideration shall be given or presumption made, on the basis of who drafted this Agreement or any particular provision thereof, it being understood that the Parties to this Agreement are sophisticated and have had adequate opportunity and means to exercise business discretion in relation to the negotiation of the details of the transaction contemplated hereby and retain counsel to represent their interests and to otherwise negotiate the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 14.6 Waivers. Any failure by any Party to comply with any of its obligations, agreements, or conditions herein contained may be waived by the Party to whom such compliance is owed by the application of the express terms hereof by an instrument signed by the Party to whom compliance is owed and expressly identified as a waiver, but not in any other manner. No course of dealing on the part of any Party or its respective officers, employees, agents, or representatives and no failure by any Party to exercise any of its rights under this Agreement shall, in each case, operate as a waiver thereof or affect in any way the right of such Party at a later time to enforce the performance of such provision. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no waiver of, or consent to a change in or modification of, any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of, or consent to a change in or modification of, other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided herein. The rights of each Party under this Agreement shall be cumulative and the exercise or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude the exercise by such Party of

125

any other right. No consent under this Agreement shall be valid unless set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party.

Section 14.7 Severability. It is the intent of the Parties that the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be severable and should any terms or provisions, in whole or in part, be held invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced as a matter of law, such holding shall not affect the other portions of this Agreement, and such portions that are not invalid shall be given effect without the invalid portion. Upon such determination that any term or provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 14.8 Assignment. No Party shall assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of this Agreement, nor shall any Party delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder, without the consent of the Purchaser and Seller and any transfer or delegation made without such consent shall be null and void; except that Purchaser may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to (a) one or more of its Affiliates at any time or (a) after the Closing, any Person; provided, however, that any such assignment by Purchaser shall in no event relieve Purchaser of any of its obligations under this Agreement and Purchaser and such assignees shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of Purchaser hereunder; provided, further, that Purchaser shall not assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate that is an entity organized or incorporated under the Laws of (or, in the case of an Affiliate that is a partnership under relevant state Law, having its principal place of business in) the State of Texas unless Purchaser agrees to be responsible for and indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from any Taxes resulting from such an assignment by Purchaser (or any of its successors and assigns). Unless expressly agreed to in writing by Purchaser and Seller, no permitted assignment of any Party’s rights or duties that is subject to the consent of the Purchaser and Seller shall relieve or release the assigning Party from the performance of such Party’s rights or obligations hereunder and such assigning Party shall be fully liable for the performance of all such rights and duties. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

Section 14.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof. IN THE EVENT OF A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF ANY SCHEDULE OR EXHIBIT HERETO, THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL; PROVIDED, HOWEVER THAT THE INCLUSION IN ANY OF THE SCHEDULES AND EXHIBITS HERETO OF TERMS AND PROVISIONS NOT ADDRESSED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE DEEMED A CONFLICT, AND ALL SUCH ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS SHALL BE GIVEN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT, SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS Section 14.9.

Section 14.14 Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Purchaser covenants that if the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Consumer Protection Act, Subchapter E of Chapter 17, Sections 17.41, et seq., of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, (the “DTPA”) or the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, LA. R.S. 51:1402, et seq. (the “UTPCPL”) is applicable to this Agreement, AFTER CONSULTATION WITH ATTORNEYS OF PURCHASER’S OWN SELECTION, PURCHASER HEREBY VOLUNTARILY WAIVES AND RELEASES ALL OF PURCHASER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE DTPA AND UTPCPL, AS APPLICABLE, TO SELLER AND SELLER’S SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AND PURCHASER SHALL DEFEND AND INDEMNIFY THE SELLER GROUP FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OF OR BY ANY MEMBER OF THE PURCHASER GROUP OR ANY OF THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR AFFILIATES BASED IN WHOLE OR IN PART ON THE DTPA AND THE UTPCPL, AS APPLICABLE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 14.16 Non-Recourse Persons. The Parties acknowledge and agree, except in the case of Fraud of the applicable Non-Recourse Person, that (i) no past, present, or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney, representative, Affiliate, or financing source (including, without limitation, First Reserve Corporation, First Reserve Management, L.P., any investment fund managed by First Reserve Corporation, First Reserve Management, L.P. or any of their respective Affiliates), and any of the foregoing Person’s respective past, present, or future directors, managers, officers, employees, incorporators, members, partners, stockholders, agents, attorneys, representatives, Affiliates, or financing sources, of Seller (excluding, in each case, any of Seller or, solely for purposes of Section 8.1 and Section 14.2, any member of the Company Group, each, subject to such exclusion, a “Non-Recourse Person”), in such capacity, shall have any liability or responsibility (in contract, tort, or otherwise) for, and (ii) Purchaser hereby waives, releases, remises and forever discharges, and shall cause each member of the Purchaser Group to waive, release, remise and forever discharge, any Damages, suits, legal or administrative proceedings, claims, demands, losses, costs, obligations, liabilities, interests, charges, or causes of action whatsoever, in law or in equity, known or unknown, against each Non-Recourse Person which are based on, related to, or arise out of or under this Agreement or the negotiation, performance, and consummation of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder. Each Non-Recourse Person is expressly intended as a third-party beneficiary of this Section 14.16.

Section 14.17 Certain Waivers. Purchaser and the Drum Entities agree, on their own behalf and on behalf of the other Purchaser Group (including the Acquired Companies and their respective Subsidiaries following Closing), that, following the Closing, Vinson & Elkins LLP and/or Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP (collectively, “Seller Counsel”) may serve as counsel to Seller and its Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding any representation by Seller Counsel of any Drum Entity prior to the Closing. Purchaser, on behalf of itself and the other members of the Purchaser Group (including each member of the Company Group after the Closing) hereby (a) consents to Seller Counsel’s representation of Seller or its Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) waives any claim it has or may have that Seller Counsel has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation based on its representation of the Company Group prior to the Closing and (a) agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser, Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller and/or its Affiliates, on the other hand, none of Purchaser, the Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates will object to Seller Counsel representing Seller and/or its Affiliates in such dispute due to the interests of Seller and its Affiliates being directly adverse to Purchaser, Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates or due to Seller Counsel having represented any member of the Company Group in a matter substantially related to such dispute. Purchaser further agrees that, as to all communications among Seller Counsel, the Company Group, Seller or their respective Affiliates and representatives prior to the Closing that relate in any way to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the attorney-client privilege belongs, to the extent such privilege exists, to Seller and its Affiliates and may be controlled by Seller and each of their respective Affiliates and will not, with respect to such privileged communications, pass to or be claimed by Purchaser, Company Group, or any of

129

their respective Affiliates. To the extent that Purchaser, Company Group, or any of their respective Affiliates has or maintains any ownership of the privilege with respect to these communications, they agree, except as may be required by applicable Law, not to waive or to attempt to waive the privilege without the express written approval of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser or any of the Acquired Companies and a Third Party (other than Seller and its Affiliates) or any Governmental Authority after the Closing, each member of the Company Group may assert the attorney-client privilege against such Third Party to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by or with Seller Counsel.

Section 14.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile, .pdf or other electronic transmission of copies of signatures shall constitute original signatures for all purposes of this Agreement and any enforcement hereof.

FORM OF CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

(Pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b))

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. federal income tax purposes (including Section 1445 of the Code), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform [________________________], a [________________________] (“Transferee”) that withholding of tax is not required pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code upon the disposition by DGE I New Holdco, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“Transferor”), as the sole beneficial owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes of DGE Group Series Holdco, LLC, Series I, a designated series of a Delaware series limited liability company, of a U.S. real property interest, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:

REGISTRATION

Section 2.01. Shelf Registration Statement.

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by the Holders until termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall, to the extent not included in the Registration Statement, from time to time as required to enable the resale of Registrable Securities by all Holders, file a Prospectus supplement naming each such Holder (subject to receipt of information reasonably requested by the Company necessary to complete such Prospectus supplement). The Registration Statement when declared effective (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply in all material respects as to form with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(a) If the continued use of the Shelf Registration Statement at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may, upon written notice of such action to the Holders, suspend use of the Registration Statement (an “Unusual Shelf Suspension”). The Company shall not exercise its right hereunder to an Unusual Shelf Suspension on more than two occasions, or in aggregate more than sixty days, in any twelve-month period. In addition, the Company may, upon giving written notice to the Holders, suspend the use of the Registration Statement during regular quarterly periods beginning on the first day after the end of the quarter

and ending on the day following the date that the Company releases earnings in respect of the previous calendar quarter (a “Regular Shelf Suspension,” together with an Unusual Shelf Suspension, a “Shelf Suspension”). In the case of a Shelf Suspension, the Holders shall suspend use of the applicable Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, any Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to the Holders, such number of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request. The Company shall, if necessary, supplement or make amendments to the Registration Statement, if required by the registration form used by the Company for the shelf registration or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act.

Section 2.02. Obligations of the Company.

(a) In connection with any Sale of Registrable Securities the Company will cooperate with the applicable Holder to (i) if such Sale will result in such Registrable Securities no longer being Registrable Securities, rescind the Transfer Legend (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or any other Securities Act transfer restrictions or notations applicable to the Registrable Securities and, if the Registrable Securities are certificated, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be Sold and not bearing any restrictive Securities Act legends (and cover the costs of removing such legend) and (ii) register such Registrable Securities in such denominations and such names as such Holder may request, in each case within two Business following any request by the selling Holder; provided that the Company may satisfy its obligations hereunder without issuing physical stock certificates through the use of the Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System. In addition, and so long as the applicable Holder is not an Affiliate of the Company in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Holder of national standing (including Vinson & Elkins LLP), the Company shall take or cause to be taken such actions as are reasonably necessary in order to cause any Securities Act legend, notation or similar designation restricting transferability of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder to be removed and to rescind any Securities Act transfer restrictions or notations applicable to the Registrable Securities effective as of the date that is one year following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall require the Company to remove the Contract Legend placed on the Parent Common Equity constituting the Holdback Amount (each as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or facilitate the transfer of such shares prior to the time such legend is entitled to be removed pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

(b) None of the Company or any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to facilitate or participate in any underwritten offering, prepare any Prospectus supplement (other than a Prospectus supplement to an existing shelf registration statement to name the Holders as selling shareholders), participate in any due diligence, execute any agreements or certificates or deliver legal opinions or obtain comfort letters in respect of the Registrable Securities or any Sale thereof.

(c) With a view to making available to the Holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and other rules and regulations of the SEC that

may at any time permit a Holder of Registrable Securities to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company will (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder, (ii) make and keep available information necessary to comply with Rule 144 at all times, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or any other rules or regulations now existing or hereafter adopted by the SEC and (iii) so long as a Seller owns any Parent Common Equity, furnish (A) to the extent accurate, forthwith upon request, a written statement of the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and (B) unless otherwise available via the SEC’s EDGAR filing system, to such Seller forthwith upon request a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed as such Seller may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing such Seller to sell any such securities without registration.

(d) Should a Holder Transfer any Registrable Securities owned by it (i) pursuant to a bona-fide gift, (ii) an Affiliate of the Holder, or (iii) pursuant to a distribution for no consideration to a direct or indirect owner of such Holder then, upon request by such Holder, the Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Prospectus supplement, if necessary, to accommodate the sale of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement by any recipient of Registrable Securities pursuant to clause (i)-(iii) above (any such transfer described in (i)-(iii) above, a “Permitted Transfer”), and any such recipient shall, upon its agreement in writing to be bound as a Holder by the provisions of this Agreement, thereafter be deemed to be a “Holder” for all purposes of this Agreement. In connection with any Permitted Transfer, the Company will cooperate with the applicable Holder to register with the Company’s Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Parent Common Equity the applicable shares of Parent Common Equity in such denominations and such names as the Transferring Holder may request within two Business Days of such request.

Section 2.03. Obligations of the Holders. As a condition precedent to the inclusion of any Registrable Securities in any Shelf Registration, the Company may require each Holder to furnish such information regarding the distribution of such securities and such other information relating to such Holder, its ownership of Registrable Securities and other matters as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing. Each such Holder agrees to furnish such information and to cooperate as reasonably necessary to enable the Company to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. If a Holder fails to promptly provide the requested information after prior written notice of such request and the requested information is required by applicable law to be included in the Registration Statement, the Company shall be entitled to refuse to include for registration such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement.

(a) Each Holder shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, notify the Company, at any time when a Prospectus is required to be delivered (or deemed delivered) under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of an event, of which such Holder has knowledge, relating to such Holder or its Sale of Registrable Securities thereunder requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered (or deemed delivered) to the purchasers of such

Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(b) Each Holder agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities, that, upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the occurrence of an Unusual Shelf Suspension, such Holder will (i)(A) shall treat the notice as confidential information, (B) shall not use any confidential information for any purpose, (C) shall not trade while aware of such confidential information unless and until such information shall become public or shall cease to be material and (D) shall not disclose any such information to any Person; provided, that any such Holder may disclose confidential information if such disclosure is required by legal process, but such Holder shall cooperate with the Company to limit the extent of such disclosure through protective order or otherwise, and to seek confidential treatment of the information and (ii) will cease any Transfers of Registrable Securities until such suspension has been lifted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Holder shall be entitled by delivery of written notice to the Company (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to elect to forego its rights to resell any Registrable Securities using the Registration Statement, and following the delivery of any such Opt-Out Notice, until the applicable Holder delivers to the Company a written notice electing to continue its use of the Registration Statement, (A) such Holder shall cease the sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and (B) the Company shall not deliver to such Holder any notice of a Shelf Suspension pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or any other material non-public information or other information that may restrict such Holder from trading in securities of the Company.

(c) Each Holder agrees that it will not use any free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) in connection with any Transfer of Registrable Securities other than one that has been provided by the Company for use in connection therewith.

(d) Each Holder agrees that it will not (A) sell, contract to sell, pledge, dispose of or otherwise transfer (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 or Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code), directly or indirectly, any Parent Common Equity issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (B) enter into a transaction which would have the same effect as described in clause (A) above, (C) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences or ownership of any Parent Common Equity, whether such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such Parent Common Equity, in cash or otherwise (each of (A), (B) and (C) above, a “Sale Transaction"), or (D) publicly disclose the intention to enter into any Sale Transaction, for 180 days following the Closing Date (the “Lock-up Period”); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.03(e) or otherwise shall apply to or prohibit any Permitted Transfer by any Holder provided the transferee in such Permitted Transfer agrees in writing to be bound be the provision so this Section 2.03(e). The Company shall take all actions necessary (including delivering the appropriate instructions, documentation and opinions required by the Company’s transfer agent) to cause the Lock-Up Legend to be removed, on the date that is 180 days following the Closing Date, from all shares of Parent Common Equity issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including any shares issued as part of the Holdback Amount (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall require the Company to remove the Contract Legend placed on the Parent Common Equity constituting the Holdback Amount (each

as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or facilitate the transfer of such shares prior to the time such legend is entitled to be removed pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

Section 2.04. Indemnification. (a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder that is a seller of Registrable Securities, and the employees, officers, directors, partners, managers and members of each such Holder, and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, from and against any Damages; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, controlling Person or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.

(a) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder that is a seller of Registrable Securities is participating, each such Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, officers and employees, each Person (if any) who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling Person of any such other Holder, from and against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with the Registration Statement; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way of indemnity or contribution under Section 2.04(b) and Section 2.04(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder).

(b) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.04 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.04, give the indemnifying party prompt notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In the event that the indemnified party does not request appointment of counsel from the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. It

is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to local counsel) for all such indemnified parties, and that all such fees shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the applicable Holder in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 2.04(a) and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 2.04(b). The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.04, to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party other than pursuant to this Section 2.04. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(c) To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.04 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.04 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section 2.04, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such Registration Statement and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 2.04(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.04(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder). The Company and Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Article 2 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the considerations referred to in this Section 2.04(d).

(d) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.04 shall survive the Transfer of securities.

Section 2.05. Registration Expenses. All Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses shall be borne by the Holders pro-rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities sold, or as otherwise agreed by the Holders.

ARTICLE 3
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 3.01. Term.
