CONTRIBUTION AND ASSUMPTION

2.01 Contribution of the Assets. Each Contributor hereby contributes, assigns, transfers, sets over and delivers to Rattler, for Rattler’s own use forever, all of such Contributor’s right, title and interest to and in the Assets, effective in each case as of the applicable Contribution Effective Date.

2.02 Assumption of Obligations. With respect to each Asset, Rattler hereby assumes all liabilities, and agrees to perform all obligations, arising out of the ownership thereof, to the extent any such liabilities and/or obligations arise on or after the applicable Contribution Effective Date with respect to any such Asset, including for the avoidance of doubt any obligations arising under the HMW Agreement (all such liabilities and obligations collectively the “Assumed Liabilities”). Each Contributor acknowledges that, with respect to any Asset, any liabilities and/or obligations arising before the applicable Contribution Effective Date with respect to such Asset are the sole obligation of such Contributor. Rattler agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the HMW Agreement.

2.03 Special Warranty. Each Contributor hereby agrees to severally (and not severally and jointly) warrant and defend title to the Assets to be transferred, conveyed and assigned by it unto Rattler and its successors and assigns against every person whomsoever lawfully claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof, by, through or under such Grantor or its respective affiliates, but not otherwise.

2.04 Other Assurances. From time to time after the date hereof, and without any further consideration, each of the Parties shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such additional instruments, notices and other documents, and will do all such other acts and things, all in accordance with applicable law, as may be necessary or appropriate to more fully and effectively carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Contributor acknowledges that it has used good faith efforts to identify all of the Assets intended to be contributed to Rattler pursuant hereto. However, the Parties acknowledge that it is possible that assets intended to be contributed to Rattler hereunder were not identified and therefore are not included in the Assets. To the extent that such assets are identified at a later date, the Parties shall take the appropriate actions required in order to convey all such assets to Rattler (or its successors or assigns) as provided hereunder.

3

2.05 Nonassignable Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign any Asset (including any contract, permit or other right) that by its terms or by Law is nonassignable without the consent of a third party or a Governmental Authority or is cancelable by a third party in the event of an assignment (a “Nonassignable Asset”), unless and until such consent shall have been obtained. With respect to any Nonassignable Asset, the applicable Contributor shall (and shall cause its subsidiaries and affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such consents promptly. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and under the applicable terms binding any Nonassignable Asset, in the event consents to the assignment thereof cannot be obtained (and in any case until any such consent is obtained), such Nonassignable Asset shall be held by the applicable Contributor in trust for Rattler, and the covenants and obligations thereunder shall be performed by Rattler and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for Rattler’s account. Each applicable Contributor shall take or cause to be taken at Rattler’s expense all such actions in such Contributor’s name or otherwise as Rattler may reasonably request so as to provide Rattler with the benefits of any Nonassignable Assets and to effect collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under the Nonassignable Assets, and such Contributor shall promptly pay over to Rattler all money or other consideration received by it in respect of all Nonassignable Assets. Each Contributor authorizes Rattler, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the Nonassignable Assets, at Rattler’s expense, to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits of such Contributor under the Nonassignable Assets and appoints Rattler as its attorney-in-fact to act in its name and on its behalf with respect thereto.

2.06 Transfer Taxes. Rattler shall be responsible for all excise, sales, use, registration, stamp, transfer and similar taxes, levies, charges and fees (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transfer of the Assets pursuant to this Agreement. Each Contributor shall, at its own cost, properly file on a timely basis all tax returns required to be filed with respect to any Transfer Tax related to the contribution of the Assets, and Rattler shall pay any Contributor, or reimburse if paid by such Contributor, Transfer Taxes that are required to be remitted with such tax returns upon presentation by such Contributor of relevant portions of such tax returns evidencing payment of said Transfer Taxes.

2.07 Receipts and Credits.

(a) With respect to each Asset, all monies, proceeds, distributions, receipts, credits and income attributable thereto (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) consistent with the applicable Contributor’s past practices) (i) for all periods of time at, from and after the Contribution Effective Time with respect to such Asset, shall be the sole property and entitlement of Rattler, and, to the extent received by any Contributor or any of its other subsidiaries or affiliates, shall be promptly accounted for and transmitted to Rattler, and (ii) for all periods of time prior to the Contribution Effective Time with respect to such Asset, shall be the sole property and entitlement of the applicable Contributor and, to the extent received by Rattler, shall be promptly accounted for and transmitted to such Contributor.

(b) All invoices, costs, expenses, capital contributions, disbursements and payables attributable to each Asset (as determined in accordance with GAAP consistent with past practices) (i) for all periods of time at, from and after the Contribution Effective Time with respect to such Asset, shall be the sole obligation of Rattler, and Rattler shall promptly pay or, if paid by any Contributor or any of its other subsidiaries or affiliates, promptly reimburse such Contributor for, the same and (ii) for all periods of time prior to the Contribution Effective Time with respect to such Asset, shall be the sole obligation of the applicable Contributor, and such Contributor shall promptly pay or, if paid by Rattler, promptly reimburse Rattler for, the same.
