Not less than four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall prepare and submit to Buyer for review a draft settlement statement (the “Preliminary Settlement Statement”) that shall set forth Seller’s estimate of the Adjusted Purchase Price, reflecting each adjustment made in accordance with this Agreement as of the date of preparation of such Preliminary Settlement Statement and the calculation of the adjustments used to determine such amount, together with the designation of Seller’s account for the wire transfers of funds as required by Section 3.1(a) and Section 9.3(f). In preparing the Preliminary Settlement Statement, to the extent available, actual numbers shall be used. Within two (2) Business Days after Buyer’s receipt of the Preliminary Settlement Statement, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a written report containing all changes that Buyer proposes to be made to the Preliminary Settlement Statement together with the explanation of any such change and the reasons therefor. The Parties shall in good faith attempt to agree in writing on the Preliminary Settlement Statement as soon as possible after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s written report. The Preliminary Settlement Statement, as agreed upon in writing by the Parties, will be used to adjust the Purchase Price at the Closing; provided that if, prior to the Closing, the Parties do not agree in writing upon any or all of the adjustments set forth in the Preliminary Settlement Statement, then the amount of such un-agreed adjustment or adjustments used to adjust the Purchase Price at the Closing shall be that amount set forth in the draft Preliminary Settlement Statement delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.3.

3.4 Final Settlement Statement.

(a) On or before one hundred twenty (120) days but not earlier than ninety (90) days after the Closing a final settlement statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) will be prepared by Seller and delivered to Buyer which takes into account all final adjustments made to the Purchase Price and shows the resulting final Adjusted Purchase Price (the “Final Price”). For clarity, adjustments to the Purchase Price relating to Disputed Title Matters and/or Disputed Environmental Matters shall be exclusively addressed pursuant to Section 11.2 and Section 12.1. The Final Settlement Statement shall set forth the actual adjustment and proration of the amounts required by this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days after Buyer’s receipt of the Final Settlement Statement, Buyer shall return to Seller a written report containing any proposed changes to the Final Settlement Statement and an explanation of any such changes and the reasons therefor (the “Dispute Notice”). Any changes not so specified in the Dispute Notice 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 the Dispute Notice shall prevail. If Buyer fails to timely deliver a Dispute Notice to Seller containing changes Buyer proposes to be made to the Final Settlement Statement, the Final Settlement Statement as delivered by Seller will be deemed to be correct and will be final and binding on the Parties and not subject to further audit or arbitration. From and after the Closing until the Final Price is ultimately determined in accordance with this Section 3.4 or Section 3.5, Buyer shall provide Seller with reasonable access during normal business hours to all relevant Records of the JP Group and reasonable access to Buyer and Buyer’s Representatives who were responsible for the preparation of the Dispute Notice, as is reasonably requested by Seller to assist Seller and its Representatives in their respective audit and review of such Dispute Notice and the determinations contained therein. From and after the Closing until the Final Price

13

is ultimately determined in accordance with this Section 3.4 or Section 3.5, Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable access to Seller and Seller’s Representatives who were responsible for the preparation of the Final Settlement Statement, as is reasonably requested by Buyer to assist Buyer and its Representatives in their respective audit and review of the Final Settlement Statement and the determinations contained therein. If the Final Price set forth in the Final Settlement Statement is mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties, the Final Settlement Statement and the Final Price shall be final and binding on the Parties and not subject to further audit or arbitration. Any difference in the Adjusted Purchase Price as paid at the Closing pursuant to the Preliminary Settlement Statement and the Final Price as mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties or as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.5, as applicable, shall be paid as follows: (i) if such amount is owed to Seller, Buyer shall pay such amount to Seller within ten (10) Business Days of final determination of such owed amount in accordance herewith, and (ii) if such amount is owed to Buyer, Seller shall pay such amount to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days of final determination of such owed amount in accordance herewith. All amounts paid pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be delivered by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by the relevant Party.

(b) If, after the delivery of the Final Settlement Statement pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4(a), either Party (or, in the case of Buyer, the JP Group, as applicable) receives monies (including proceeds of production) belonging to the other Party pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 2.4 with respect to the Assets (including, in the case of Seller, money owed to Seller in respect of the Subject Receivables), then such monies shall, within five (5) Business Days after the end of the month in which they were received, be paid over by the receiving Party (including, in the case of Buyer, by the JP Group, if applicable) to the owed Party. Subject to and except as expressly provided in the other provisions hereof, additionally, if after delivery of the Final Settlement Statement, either Party (or, in the case of Buyer, the JP Group, as applicable) pays monies relating to the Assets that are the obligation of the other Party, then the owing Party shall, within five (5) Business Days after the end of the month in which the applicable invoice and proof of payment of such invoice are received by it, reimburse the owed Party therefor; provided that nothing to the contrary set forth herein shall limit the owing Party’s right to dispute the existence of such invoice or the invoice amount with the obligee thereof. Each of Seller and Buyer shall be permitted to offset any monies owed by it to the other Party (or, in the case of Buyer, the JP Group, as applicable) pursuant to this Section 3.4 or Section 2.4 against amounts owed to it by such other Party (or, in the case of Buyer, the JP Group, as applicable) pursuant to this Section 3.4 or Section 2.4. Without limiting the foregoing, if a Party receives an invoice of an expense or obligation which is owed by the other Party under this Section 3.4 or Section 2.4, such Party receiving the invoice shall promptly forward such invoice to the Party obligated to pay, and if an invoice or other evidence of an obligation is received by a Party, which is partially an obligation of both Seller and Buyer, then the Parties shall consult with each other, and each shall promptly pay its portion of such obligation to the obligee thereof; provided that the Parties’ payment and reimbursement obligations to each other with respect to all of the foregoing matters, including with respect to all Property Expenses and all revenues and proceeds, shall terminate upon the expiration of the General Indemnity Period. From and after Closing, Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller to collect any amounts due to Seller from Third Parties (and that are retained by Seller under this Agreement) arising from Seller’s and the JP Group’s ownership or operation of the Assets prior to Closing.

14

3.5 Disputes. Seller and Buyer shall work together in good faith to resolve any matters addressed in the Dispute Notice. If Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve in writing all of the matters addressed in the Dispute Notice within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Dispute Notice by Buyer to Seller, either Party may, upon written notice to the other Party, submit all unresolved matters addressed in the Dispute Notice to be resolved in accordance with this Section 3.5. Within ten (10) Business Days of a matter being submitted for resolution by a Party in accordance with the preceding sentence, each of Buyer and Seller shall (a) summarize its position with regard to such dispute in a written document and (b) submit such summaries to a nationally-recognized independent accounting firm as selected by mutual agreement of the Parties (the “Accounting Expert”), together with the Dispute Notice, the Final Settlement Statement and any other relevant documentation such Party may desire to submit, with a simultaneous copy to the other Party. If the Parties cannot agree on an Accounting Expert within ten (10) Business Days after a Party’s election to submit such matters for resolution under this Section 3.5, then either Party may request the Houston, Texas regional office of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) to select the Accounting Expert (or, if there is no such office, the office of the AAA serving Houston, Texas). Neither Party may have any ex parte communications with the Accounting Expert concerning the Accounting Expert’s determination of the disputed matters. Within twenty (20) Business Days after receiving the Parties’ respective submissions, the Accounting Expert shall render a decision choosing either Seller’s position or Buyer’s position with respect to each matter addressed in any Dispute Notice, based on the materials submitted to the Accounting Expert as described above. The Accounting Expert shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific dispute submitted by either Party and may not award interest, damages or penalties. Any decision rendered by the Accounting Expert pursuant hereto shall be final, conclusive and binding on Seller and Buyer and enforceable against any of the Parties in any court of competent jurisdiction. For the limited purposes of the enforcement of any decision rendered by the Accounting Expert under this Section 3.5, the Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction located in Fort Worth, Texas, and hereby further irrevocably waive any objection to the jurisdiction of such courts. The costs of the Accounting Expert shall be borne equally between the Parties.

3.6 Accounting. The Parties acknowledge and agree that if there is a conflict between a determination, calculation or methodology set forth in the definitions contained in this Agreement, on the one hand, and those provided by GAAP, on the other hand, (a) the determination, calculation, or methodology set forth in the definitions contained in this Agreement shall control to the extent that the matter is included in the definitions contained in this Agreement and (b) the determination, calculation, or methodology in accordance with GAAP (applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that have been historically used by PE Seller and/or the JP Group, as applicable) shall otherwise control.

15

3.7 Allocated Values. Buyer and Seller agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Leases, Wells, Fee Mineral Interests and Fee Surface Interests as set forth (a) with respect to the Leases, on Exhibit A-JP or Exhibit A-PE, as applicable, (b) with respect to the Wells, on Exhibit B, (c) with respect to the Fee Mineral Interests, on Exhibit A-2-JP or Exhibit A-2-PE, as applicable, and (d) with respect to the Fee Surface Interests, Exhibit C-2-JP or Exhibit C-2-PE, as applicable (the “Allocated Values”). Buyer and Seller agree that such allocation is reasonable and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith for the purposes of Title Defects, Environmental Defects or notices to holders of Preferential Purchase Rights. Seller, however, makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of such values.

3.8 Purchase Price Allocation. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and for state income Tax purposes in states that follow federal law in this respect), the purchase and sale of the JP Interests will be treated as a purchase and sale of the JP Assets, and the Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with the foregoing and will not take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return, or during the course of any proceeding with respect to Taxes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law following a final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code. Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree to 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 under the six categories of assets specified in Part II of Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and, to the extent allowed under applicable federal income Tax Law, in a manner consistent with the Allocated Values, within thirty (30) days after the date that the Final Settlement Statement is finally determined pursuant to Section 3.4 (or if applicable, Section 3.5) (the “Allocation”). If the Parties are unable to reach an agreement with respect to the Allocation within such thirty (30) day period, determination of the final Allocation shall be made by the Accounting Expert within sixty (60) days of receipt of written submissions from each of Buyer and Seller regarding its own proposed Allocation. The Accounting Expert will make a final, conclusive and binding determination based on the written submissions supplied by the Parties and pursuant to applicable Law. Sellers, on one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall be responsible for and pay one-half of any and all fees and expenses of the Accounting Expert incurred pursuant to this Section 3.8. If the Parties reach an agreement with respect to the Allocation or the Allocation is determined by the Accounting Expert, (a) Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to update the Allocation in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code following any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement (including by reason of any indemnification payments made under Article XIII), and (b) Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, report consistently with the Allocation, as adjusted, on all Tax Returns, including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement under Section 1060), which Buyer and Seller shall timely file with the IRS, and neither Seller nor Buyer shall take any position on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the Allocation, as adjusted, unless otherwise required by applicable Law; provided, however, that no Party shall be unreasonably impeded in its ability and discretion to negotiate, compromise and/or settle with any Governmental Authority any Tax audit, claim or similar proceeding in connection with such Allocation.

16

3.9 Allocation for Imbalances at Closing. If, prior to the date the Final Price is determined as provided in Section 3.4 or Section 3.5, as applicable, either Party discovers an error in the Imbalances set forth in Schedule 4.14, then the Purchase Price shall be further adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(iii)(C) or Section 3.2(b)(iii)(G), as applicable, and Schedule 4.14 will be deemed amended immediately prior to Closing to reflect the Imbalances for which the Purchase Price is so adjusted.

3.10 Withholding. Buyer, its Affiliates and any other Person acting on their behalf shall not deduct or withhold any amounts (if any) for or on account of any Taxes from the payments otherwise due hereunder unless otherwise required by Law. To the extent any such amounts are deducted or withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated as having been timely paid to the relevant Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in obtaining any applicable exemptions or reductions in withholding from any Governmental Authority and shall promptly notify Seller if it becomes aware that any such deduction or withholding is required.

Assuming the receipt of all Consents and the waiver of or compliance with all Preferential Purchase Rights, the execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein will not (a) conflict with or result in a breach of any provisions of the Organizational Documents of Buyer, (b) result in a default or the creation of any Encumbrance or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture or other agreement to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer or any of its property may be bound, (c) violate any Law applicable to Buyer or (d) require Buyer to make any filing with, deliver notification to or obtain consent, approval or authorization of, any Governmental Authority, except with respect to HSR Approval, and, in the case of clauses (b), (c) and (d), except where such default, Encumbrance, termination, cancellation, acceleration, violation or filing would not be material.

5.4 Consents. Except for HSR Approval and Customary Post-Closing Consents, there are no consents or approvals that Buyer is required to obtain in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

5.5 Bankruptcy.

Buyer is not (and will not be upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) insolvent.

5.6 Litigation. There are no Proceedings pending, or to Buyer’s Knowledge, threatened involving Buyer that would (a) have a material adverse effect upon the ability of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents or (b) materially impair Buyer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Transaction Document.

5.7 Regulatory. Buyer (and its applicable Affiliates including any applicable JP Group Member) will upon the Closing and thereafter shall continue to be qualified per applicable Law to directly or indirectly own and assume operatorship of the Assets in all jurisdictions where the Assets are located, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents will not cause Buyer (and its applicable Affiliates including any applicable JP Group Member) to be disqualified as such an owner or operator. To the extent required by any Law, Buyer has maintained and will hereafter continue to maintain or cause the applicable JP Group Member to continue to maintain, lease bonds, area-wide bonds or any other surety bonds as may be required by, and in accordance with, all Laws governing the ownership and operation of the Assets and will file or will cause the applicable JP Group Member to file any and all required reports necessary for such ownership and operation with all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over such ownership and operation. To Buyer’s Knowledge, there is no fact or condition with respect to Buyer or its obligations hereunder that may cause any Governmental Authority to withhold its unconditional approval of the transactions contemplated hereby to the extent approval by such Governmental Authority is required by Law.

35

5.8 Financing. At the Closing, Buyer will have the financial capability and access to sufficient funds available (through cash on hand, unrestricted cash available to them under existing credit agreements, term loans or otherwise) necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and therein, including to enable it to make all payments under Section 3.1, pay all other amounts required to be paid or repaid by Buyer under this Agreement (whether payable on or after the Closing) and, pay all of Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ fees and expenses associated with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. THE OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS ARE NOT CONTINGENT ON THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCING OR COMMODITY PRICES, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL BUYER’S FAILURE TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER BE EXCUSED BY THE FAILURE TO RECEIVE FUNDS FROM ANY SOURCE OR ANY CHANGE IN COMMODITY PRICES.

5.9 Independent Evaluation. Buyer is (a) sophisticated in the evaluation, purchase, ownership and operation of oil and gas properties and related facilities, (b) capable of evaluating, and hereby acknowledges that it has so evaluated, the merits and risks of the JP Interests and the Assets, Buyer’s direct and indirect acquisition, ownership, and operation thereof, and its obligations hereunder and under the Transaction Documents, and (c) able to bear the economic risks associated with the JP Interests and the Assets, Buyer’s direct and indirect acquisition, ownership, and operation thereof, and its obligations hereunder and under the Transaction Documents. In making its decision to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Buyer (i) except for the representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement, including in Article IV and in the Seller’s Certificate, acknowledges that there are no representations or warranties, express, statutory or implied, as to the JP Interests or the Assets or prospects of the JP Group of the Assets and that Buyer has relied or shall rely solely on its own independent investigation and evaluation of the JP Interests and the Assets and the advice of its own legal, tax, economic, environmental, engineering, geological and geophysical advisors and the express provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and not on any comments, statements, projections or other materials made or given by any representatives, consultants or advisors of Seller, or any of its Affiliates (including the JP Group) or any other Seller Indemnified Party, and (ii) has satisfied or shall satisfy, as of the Closing, itself through the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein and its own due diligence as to the environmental and physical condition of and contractual arrangements and other matters affecting the JP Interests and the Assets.

36

5.11 Accredited Investor. Buyer is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act and will directly or indirectly acquire the JP Interests and the Assets for its own account and not with a view to a sale, transfer or distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, any applicable state blue sky Laws or any other applicable securities Laws. Buyer understands that the aforesaid JP Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities or blue sky Laws, and, as a result, are subject to substantial restrictions on transfer. Buyer acknowledges that the aforesaid JP Interests must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or blue sky Laws, or sold or otherwise transferred pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act or such Laws.

In the event of an emergency, a serious risk to life, property, or the environment, or in connection with any health conditions (including any epidemic, pandemic, or disease outbreak (including the COVID-19 virus)) or any applicable Law relating to, or as a result of, any health conditions (including any epidemic, pandemic, or disease outbreak (including the COVID-19 virus)), the applicable JP Group Member or PE Seller, as applicable, may take such action as a prudent operator would take, and any such actions shall not be deemed to be a breach of the provisions of Section 6.1(a), provided that Seller notifies Buyer of such action reasonably promptly after taking such action.

40

(f) [Reserved.]

6.2 Successor Operator. While Buyer acknowledges that it desires to directly or indirectly succeed Seller and the JP Group as operator of those Assets or portions thereof that Seller, the JP Group or their Affiliates may presently operate, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller cannot and does not covenant or warrant that Buyer shall become direct or indirect successor operator of such Assets since the Assets or portions thereof may be subject to operating or other agreements that control the appointment of a successor operator. Seller agrees, however, that as to the Assets that Seller, the JP Group or their Affiliates operate, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to support Buyer’s efforts to become direct or indirect successor operator of such Assets (to the extent permitted under any applicable joint operating agreement) effective as of the Closing and to designate or appoint, to the extent legally possible and permitted under any applicable joint operating agreement, Buyer as direct or indirect successor operator of such Assets effective as of the Closing.

6.3 Record Retention. Subject to Section 15.3(b), Buyer shall and shall cause its successors and assigns to, for at least a period of seven (7) years following the Closing, (a) retain the Records, (b) provide Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives with access to the Records during normal business hours for review and copying at Seller’s sole cost and expense and (c) provide Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives with access, during normal business hours, to materials received or produced after the Closing relating to any Third Party Claim for which Seller has an indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 13.2 for review and copying at Seller’s sole cost and expense.

6.4 Asset Credit Support. Buyer acknowledges that none of the Asset Credit Support, if any, posted by Seller, the JP Group or its Affiliates with Governmental Authorities or other Third Parties and relating to the Assets (including the JP Group) is transferable to Buyer. On or before the Closing Date, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained in the name of Buyer, replacements for such Asset Credit Support set forth in Schedule 4.22 to the extent such replacements are necessary (i) for Buyer’s ownership and/or operation of the Assets (including the JP Group) and (ii) to permit the cancellation of the Asset Credit Support posted by Seller and its Affiliates. In addition, at or prior to Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller evidence of the posting of such Asset Credit Support with all applicable Governmental Authorities or other Third Parties meeting the requirements of such Persons to own and/or operate the Assets (including the JP Group). In the event that any counterparty to any Asset Credit Support does not release Seller and its Affiliates, then, from and after Closing, Buyer shall indemnify Seller or its relevant Affiliate against all amounts incurred by Seller or its relevant Affiliate under such Asset Credit Support (and all costs incurred in connection with such Asset Credit Support) if applicable to Assets acquired by Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any cash placed in escrow by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller pursuant to any Asset Credit Support must be returned to Seller, and shall be deemed an Excluded Asset.

41

6.5 Knowledge of Breach; Right to Cure.

(a) Each Party shall notify the other Party promptly in writing and in reasonable detail after such Party obtains Knowledge that any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the other Party contained in this Agreement is, becomes or will be untrue, and such breach has resulted or is reasonably likely to result in a failure of any of, as applicable, Buyer’s conditions to Closing in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, or Seller’s conditions to Closing in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2.

(b) If any of Seller’s or Buyer’s representations or warranties are untrue or shall become untrue in any material respect before the Closing, or if any of Seller’s or Buyer’s covenants or agreements to be performed or observed prior to or on the Closing Date shall not have been so performed or observed in any material respect, but if such breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement is cured or expressly waived in writing by the other Party by the Closing (or, if the Closing does not occur, cured prior to the termination of this Agreement), then such breach shall be considered not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement.

6.6 Regulatory Matters. Unless HSR Act notification is not required because an exemption applies, Seller and Buyer shall (i) no later than ten (10) days after the Execution Date, make or cause to be made an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), or any other filings or notifications required by applicable Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby promptly following the Execution Date, and Seller and Buyer shall bear their own costs and expenses incurred in connection with such filings, provided that any filing fees in connection therewith shall be borne by Buyer, and (ii) use their commercially reasonable efforts to (x) promptly respond to any requests for additional information made by the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) or any other Governmental Authority, (y) take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the waiting periods under the HSR Act and any other applicable Laws to terminate or expire at the earliest possible date and (z) resist in good faith, at each of their respective cost and expense, any assertion that the transactions contemplated hereby constitute a violation of applicable Laws, all to the end of expediting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. In connection with this Section 6.6 and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall, to the extent permitted by Laws, (A) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing, submission, investigation or inquiry, (B) promptly inform the other Party of any communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, the DOJ or the FTC or any other Governmental Authority and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case, regarding the transactions contemplated hereby, (C) have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each shall consult the other on, any filing made with or written materials to be submitted to, the DOJ, the FTC or any other Governmental Authority or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, any other Person, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and (D) consult with each other in advance of any meeting, discussion, telephone call or conference with the DOJ, the FTC or any other Governmental Authority or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other Person, and to the extent not expressly prohibited by the DOJ, the FTC or any other

42

Governmental Authority or Person, give the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences, in each case, regarding the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in no event shall Buyer be obligated to take any of the following actions if such action would constitute a Burdensome Condition (each, a “Divestiture Action”): (1) selling or otherwise disposing of, or holding separate and agreeing to sell or otherwise dispose of, assets, categories of assets or businesses; (2) terminating existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations; (3) terminating any venture or other arrangement; (4) creating any relationship, contractual rights or obligations; or (5) effectuating any other change or restructuring of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, in each case, entering into agreements or stipulating to the entry of an order or decree or filing appropriate applications with any Governmental Authority in connection with any of the foregoing), in each as, to ensure that (I) the applicable HSR Act waiting period expires or terminates prior to the Outside Date and that no Governmental Authority enters any decree, judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent), or establishes any Law or other action preliminarily or permanently restricting, preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (II) no Governmental Authority with the authority to clear, authorize or otherwise approve the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement fails to do so by the Outside Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Burdensome Condition” shall mean any undertakings, terms, conditions, liabilities, obligations, commitments, sanctions or other measures (including any Divestiture Action) that, individually or in the aggregate, would have or would be reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, assets or liabilities of the JP Interests and PE Assets, taken as a whole. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if, within five (5) days prior to the Target Closing Date, (aa) there is an unresolved pending request for information from the FTC or DOJ to either Party and (bb) the FTC or DOJ has indicated that it continues to actively investigate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the occurrence of clauses (aa) and (bb) being an “HSR Extension Event”), then either Seller or Buyer (so long as such electing Party is not then in material breach of this Section 6.6) may elect to extend both the Target Closing Date to the earlier of (x) January 20, 2022 and (y) five (5) Business Days after the FTC and/or DOJ indicates that it is no longer actively investigating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Extended Target Closing Date”) and the Outside Date to March 7, 2022 by written notice to the other Party prior to the Target Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, receipt of a “warning letter” in the form announced by the FTC on August 3, 2021 alone, with no other indication of an active post-HSR investigation, shall not be deemed an “unresolved pending request for information” or an “active investigation” under this paragraph.

6.7 Amendment of Schedules. Buyer agrees that, with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement, Seller shall have the continuing right until the earlier of (a) termination of this Agreement and (b) delivery of the draft Preliminary Settlement Statement pursuant to Section 3.3 to add, supplement or amend the Schedules to its representations and warranties with respect to any matter hereafter first occurring (including the addition of Schedules that are responsive to the representations and warranties contained herein but for which a Schedule is not contemplated as of the Execution Date) and not resulting from the breach of any Seller’s covenants or agreements herein. For all purposes of this Agreement, including for

43

purposes of determining whether the conditions set forth in Article VII have been fulfilled, the Schedules to Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to include only that information contained therein on the Execution Date and shall be deemed to exclude all information contained in any addition, supplement or amendment thereto; provided, however, that if (i) any such information disclosed on such Schedules after the Execution Date causes a condition to the Closing set forth in Article VII to fail, (ii) Seller informs Buyer in writing that such information disclosed on such Schedules have caused a condition set forth in Article VII to fail, and (iii) Buyer elects to proceed with the Closing notwithstanding such failure of a condition set forth in Article VII and the Closing occurs, then all information disclosed pursuant to any such addition, supplement or amendment at or prior to the Closing shall be waived for all purposes, and Buyer shall not be entitled to make a claim with respect thereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise.

6.8 Employee Matters. The provisions of Exhibit H are incorporated herein by reference.

6.9 Affiliate Services. Seller and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to provide any services with respect to the JP Group or the Assets from and after the Closing and, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller and Buyer, all Contracts between any JP Group Member, on the one hand, and Seller or any of Seller’s other Affiliates, on the other hand, shall be terminated effective as of the Closing Date without any Liability to the JP Group, Buyer, or its Affiliates.

6.10 Information Technology.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall be entitled to erase any data to the extent constituting Excluded Assets or other assets or properties to the extent not related to the Assets, from any desktop, laptop, smart phone, tablet or other mobile computing device, network gear, data center gear and any other information technology equipment held by the JP Group or otherwise included in the Assets.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Assets shall not include any software that is licensed from Third Parties if (i) the license is a company-wide license or (ii) the license does not allow the transfer of such software or requires the consent of a Third Party to transfer such software. To the extent any computers, associated peripherals and servers, any radio and telephone equipment and other similar assets (the “Computer Assets”) are included in the JP Personal Property, prior to, or as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, Seller shall be entitled to (and from and after the Closing, Buyer shall cooperate with Seller to allow Seller to) wipe the Computer Assets clean of (x) any software licenses that are not transferred to Buyer, (y) any proprietary or confidential information of Seller not included in the Assets and (z) any programs or software on the Computer Assets that would allow or provide access to Seller’s network or system; provided that Seller will cooperate with Buyer to transition information technology, including substituting any software licenses, to minimize disruption to operations.

6.11 Mutual Release. At or prior to the Closing, Seller (on behalf of itself and the Seller Indemnified Parties) and Buyer (on behalf of itself and the Buyer Indemnified Parties) shall enter into a Mutual Release substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (the “Mutual Release”), which will be effective as of the Closing.

44

6.12 Officers & Directors.

(a) Following the Closing and with respect to claims made prior to the sixth (6^th) anniversary thereof, Buyer shall cause the JP Group to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Person who is now, or has been at any time from and after January 1, 2021 until prior to the date hereof or who becomes after the Execution Date but prior to the Closing, a manager, director, officer, employee or equityholder of any JP Group Member (and their respective equityholders, officers, directors, managers and employees), representative or agent of any JP Group Member (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) against any and all Liabilities arising from and after January 1, 2021 until prior to the date hereof that are paid in settlement of or in connection with any threatened or actual claim, demand, action, cause of action, suit, motion, controversy, proceeding or investigation, other than such Liabilities arising out of the D&O Indemnified Party’s bad faith, actual fraud or willful or intentional misconduct or criminal wrongdoing (each a “D&O Claim”) based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such Person is or was a manager, director, officer, employee, equityholder, representative or agent of any JP Group Member or is or was serving at the request of any JP Group Member as a manager, director, officer, employee, controlling Person or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise or by reason of anything done or not done by such Person in any such capacity whether pertaining to any act or omission occurring or existing from and after January 1, 2021 until at or after the Closing and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing (“D&O Indemnified Liabilities”), in each case to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (and upon written request by a D&O Indemnified Party, the Buyer shall cause the JP Group to pay reasonable and documented expenses incurred by a D&O Indemnified Party in defending a D&O Claim in advance of (a) the final disposition of such D&O Claim and (b) the determination of whether such D&O Indemnified Party has met the standard of conduct that entitles such Person to indemnification hereunder); provided such D&O Indemnified Party shall agree in writing to reimburse the JP Group of such advance to the extent it is determined in a final and non-appealable judgment that it is not entitled to indemnity. In determining whether a D&O Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.12, if requested by such D&O Indemnified Party, such determination shall be made by special, independent counsel selected by Buyer and approved by such D&O Indemnified Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and provided, further, that neither the Buyer nor the JP Group shall pay or advance to any D&O Indemnified Party any amounts in connection with a D&O Claim initiated by such D&O Indemnified Party. Any D&O Indemnified Party claiming indemnification under this Section 6.12, upon learning of any such D&O Claim, shall promptly notify Buyer (but the failure so to notify shall not relieve Buyer from any liability that it may have under this Section 6.12 except to the extent such failure materially prejudices Buyer’s position with respect to such D&O Claim). Buyer shall, and shall cause the JP Group to, require any successor to any JP Group Member (whether by merger, purchase or otherwise) to be bound by the provisions of this Section 6.12.

(b) [Reserved.]

45

(c) The Parties acknowledge that certain of the D&O Indemnified Parties have certain rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses from certain of Seller and/or its Affiliates (the “Seller D&O Parties”) for facts, events and circumstances that would also give rise to indemnification and advancement of expenses from the JP Group after the Closing. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) as between the Seller D&O Parties and JP Group, the JP Group are the indemnitors of first resort, such that the JP Group’s obligations to provide indemnification and advancement of expenses are primary and the Seller D&O Parties obligations to provide indemnification and advancement of expenses are secondary, and (ii) Buyer on behalf of JP Group, irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Seller D&O Parties from any and all claims against the Seller D&O Parties for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of any such advancement or payment made or required to be made by the JP Group (provided that, for clarity, such waiver shall in no way impact or limit the Seller D&O Parties’ secondary obligations described in clause (i)).

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.12 are intended to be for the benefit of each D&O Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her representatives, who shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.12, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Buyer and each JP Group Member and may not be terminated or amended in any manner adverse to such Persons without their prior written consent.

6.13 TAPA Corrective Actions.

(a) The Parties acknowledge that certain of the Assets are the subject of environmental compliance audits (the “Seller Environmental Audits”) performed and disclosures of violation (“Seller DOVs”) submitted by or on behalf of Seller to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) between March 1, 2021 and August 26, 2021 in accordance with the Texas Environmental, Health and Safety Audit Privilege Act (the “TAPA”) and that violations identified by the Seller Environmental Audits may be eligible for immunity from penalties if and when the disclosed violations have been corrected pursuant to the terms of the TAPA. Schedule 6.13(a) sets forth a list of all unresolved Seller DOVs included in the Seller Environmental Audits that pertain to the Assets (including, for each Seller DOV, the Asset(s) affected thereby, the applicable disclosure date, any associated corrective actions, and any associated corrective action deadlines) (the corrective actions required to correct such scheduled violations under the Seller DOVs, the “TCEQ Fulfillment Obligations”).

(b) The Parties acknowledge the Seller DOVs and TCEQ Fulfillment Obligations may be included in a pre-acquisition audit by Buyer conducted in accordance with TAPA prior to Closing.

(c) Promptly and no later than ten (10) Business Days following Closing, Seller will notify the TCEQ of (i) Buyer’s purchase of the Assets from Seller and (ii) Seller’s withdrawal of the TCEQ Fulfillment Obligations that remain unresolved as of Closing from the Seller Environmental Audits and Seller DOVs (the “Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligations”). If not already completed as part of a pre-acquisition audit, no later than thirty (30) Business Days following Closing, Buyer shall notify TCEQ of its intention to perform its own TAPA audit of

46

Assets purchased from Seller in compliance with TAPA requirements (the “Buyer Environmental Audit”) and request that the Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligations be transferred to the Buyer Environmental Audit account with TCEQ and recorded within Buyer’s disclosures of violation (the “Buyer DOVs”). Seller and Buyer shall each provide the other Party with (x) a draft of any documents such Party intends to provide to the TCEQ pursuant to this Section 6.13(c) at least two (2) Business Days prior to submitting the same to the TCEQ and consider any comments by the other Party in good faith and (y) a copy of any documents such Party actually delivers to the TCEQ pursuant to this Section 6.13(c) promptly after such documents are delivered.

(d) Buyer agrees to perform and complete each Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligation to the reasonable satisfaction of the TCEQ on or before the later of (i) the applicable corrective action deadlines listed in Section 6.13, (ii) the applicable corrective action deadlines under TAPA for the Buyer Environmental Audit, or (iii) a TCEQ-approved extended deadline, and in accordance with the Corrective Plan and Budget (described below) for such Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligation. Buyer reserves the right to challenge a determination by the TCEQ regarding the completion or non-completion of an Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligation as unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious. Seller’s proposed plan for performing and completing the Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligations and preliminary cost estimate for such actions is set forth in Schedule 6.13(d). Prior to undertaking corrective actions in respect of any Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligation, Buyer will review the actions and cost estimates set forth in Schedule 6.13(d) and provide Seller with a description of any modifications that Buyer proposes to make to Seller’s plan and, if appropriate, adjustments to the estimated costs. Seller may provide Buyer with comments to such plan and budget modifications within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the same. Buyer will consider any such comments in good faith. Prior to Buyer commencing any corrective actions in respect of any Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligation, Buyer and Seller shall agree in writing on the corrective action plan and budget for completing such Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligation (the “Corrective Plan and Budget”); provided that if Buyer and Seller are unable to agree upon such Corrective Plan and Budget in writing within twenty (20) Business Days of Buyer providing Seller its proposed Corrective Plan and Budget for an Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligation, then such Corrective Plan and Budget shall be submitted to the Environmental Arbitrator and such Environmental Arbitrator shall (i) follow the procedural requirements of Section 12.1(f) and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 12.1, issue an Environmental Arbitrator’s Corrective Plan and Budget (which shall be the Corrective Plan and Budget for such matter for purposes of this Agreement) that takes into account reasonably available cost reduction measures that are allowed under applicable Environmental Laws and that will Remediate the Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligation within a time frame reasonably expected to be acceptable to TCEQ.

(e) Buyer agrees (i) to keep Seller reasonably informed of all material developments (including cost overruns and timing delays in implementing any Corrective Plan and Budget) associated with the Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligations and all material written communications with the TCEQ regarding those items, with progress reports on completion of the Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligations provided every sixty (60) days, and (ii) if reasonably requested by Seller from time to time, but no more than every fourteen (14) calendar days, to attend meetings with Seller and Seller’s Representatives to discuss matters relating to the Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligations.

47

(f) Upon completion by Buyer of an Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligation to the reasonable satisfaction of the TCEQ, Buyer shall provide to Seller a copy of the closure letter or equivalent documentation from the TCEQ confirming that such Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligation has been completed, together with the itemized costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in respect of operations and work undertaken to satisfy such Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligation (the “TCEQ Corrective Costs”). Within thirty (30) days following receipt of the same, Seller will reimburse Buyer for any reasonable, documented out-of-pocket TCEQ Corrective Costs that do not exceed fifteen percent (15%) more than the amount set forth for the associated Outstanding TCEQ Fulfillment Obligation in the Corrective Plan and Budget. If the TCEQ Corrective Costs exceed the amount set forth in the Corrective Plan and Budget by more than fifteen percent (15%), Buyer shall provide an explanation of the reason(s) for the cost overrun (“TCEQ Corrective Cost Overrun”) that is reasonably satisfactory to Seller. If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree on the reasonable amount of TCEQ Corrective Cost Overrun to be reimbursed to Buyer, then any such dispute shall be resolved in the manner specified in Section 12.1, except the Environmental Arbitrator shall be a consultant, not an attorney, qualified under that section to arbitrate the reasonableness of costs.

6.14 Seller’s Financing Cooperation.

(a) During the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the date that is the first (1^st) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall use (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its controlled Affiliates and Representatives to use) commercially reasonable efforts to provide, in each case, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, such assistance with any financing by Buyer as is customary and reasonably requested by Buyer, including using commercially reasonable efforts with respect to: (i) assisting Buyer and any of its financing sources in their preparation of (A) appropriate and customary offering documents, private placement memoranda, prospectuses, prospectus supplements, registration statements, syndication documents and materials including information memoranda, lender and investor presentations and other marketing documents (including “public side” versions thereof) for the financing, (B) appropriate and customary materials for rating agency presentations, and (C) such financial information, including financial statements of the Assets whether audited or unaudited and pro forma financial information, and including such oil and gas disclosures as may be required under the rules of the SEC, oil and gas reserve reports with respect to the Assets, or other actions that Buyer or any financing source reasonably requires to comply with the requirements under state and federal securities Laws (including applicable rules of the SEC) or to consummate the financing relating to the Assets as is customary or reasonably necessary for the arrangement, syndication and completion of the financing; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt neither Seller nor its Affiliates or Representatives shall be responsible for the preparation of pro forma financial information, which shall be prepared solely by Buyer; (ii) if requested by Buyer (which request shall have been made at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), furnishing to Buyer and the financing sources all information regarding the Assets that is requested to the extent required in connection with the financing by regulatory authorities under applicable “beneficial

48

ownership,” “know your customer” and/or anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act; (iii) to the extent applicable, causing the applicable auditors to provide customary authorization and representation letters and arranging for customary auditor consents and comfort letters; (iv) authorizing the distribution of information relating to the Assets to prospective lenders; (v) assisting in obtaining reasonable and customary corporate, bond and facility credit ratings in connection with the financing; and (vi) assisting Buyer in its preparation of the schedules to the definitive documentation for the financing as may reasonably be requested in connection with the financing. Seller hereby consents to the use of all of its and its Affiliates logos in connection with the financing, provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is reasonable and customary for such purposes and that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage Seller or its Affiliates or the business, reputation or goodwill of Seller or its Affiliates.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Seller, any Affiliate of Seller or any of its or their respective Representatives shall be required by this Section 6.14(a): (i) to take any action or provide any assistance that would unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of Seller and its Affiliates in Seller’s reasonable judgment; (ii) to execute or deliver any certificate, document, instrument or agreement (other than customary authorization and representation letters as set forth in this Section 6.14(a)); (iii) to require Seller or any member of the Seller Indemnified Parties to pay any commitment or other similar fee, make any other payment, reimburse any expenses or otherwise incur any Liabilities or give any indemnities in connection with the financing; (iv) to take any action or provide any information that will conflict with or violate or constitute a breach of or default under its organizational documents, any Contract by which such Person is bound or any applicable Laws or duties (including duties of confidentiality), or (in the case of the disclosure of information) would result in the waiver of any attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege; (v) to take any action or provide any assistance that would reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to a director or officer or cause any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller in this Agreement to be breached or to become inaccurate; (vi) require Seller, any of its Affiliates (including any JP Group Member) or any of their respective directors or officers to enter into or approve any debt financing or any definitive agreement for debt financing; (vii) cause any director, officer, employee or equity holder of Seller or its Affiliates (including any JP Group Member) to incur any personal liability; (viii) prepare or provide any financial or other information or data with respect to the JP Group or the Assets unless such information or data is reasonably available (including through books and records maintained by Seller or its Affiliates in the Ordinary Course of Business) to Seller or its controlled Affiliates (including any JP Group Member); or (ix) require Seller or any Affiliate thereof (including any JP Group Member) to deliver any legal opinions or reliance letters. Buyer shall (A) promptly reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller or its Affiliates or any of its or their Representatives in connection with providing the assistance contemplated by this Section 6.14(a) and (B) indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Liabilities suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with providing the assistance contemplated by this Section 6.14(a) and any information used in connection therewith, except to the extent arising out of the gross negligence, bad faith, actual fraud or willful misconduct of Seller or its Affiliates.

49

(c) Buyer shall provide Seller written notice within two (2) Business Days of Buyer obtaining Knowledge of a breach by Seller of Section 6.14(a), including a reasonably detailed description of such breach, and Seller shall have the right to cure such breach. Failure of Buyer to provide such written notice shall result in a waiver by Buyer of such breach; provided that such waiver shall not preclude Buyer from making a new request for cooperation under Section 6.14(a) (even if such request is the same request that gave rise to such waived breach).

(d) After the Closing Date, Seller acknowledges Buyer and/or its Affiliates may be required to file audited and interim financial statements and related footnotes relating to the Assets pursuant to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including the rules and regulations set forth in Regulation S-X). During the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the date that is the first (1^st) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer, at Buyer’s cost and expense, in Buyer’s preparation of such financial statements and footnotes for any periods as may be required by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

6.15 Assignment of Vehicles. If any of the vehicles to be included in the Assets are owned or leased by any Affiliate of Seller (other than a JP Group Member), then, at or prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause such Affiliate to use commercially reasonable efforts to, (a) in the case of any such truck or other vehicle that is owned by such Affiliate, transfer such truck or other vehicle to a JP Group Member or Buyer and (b) in the case of any such truck or other vehicle that is leased by such Affiliate, to assign the applicable lease for such truck or other vehicle to a JP Group Member or Buyer. If, for any reason, Seller and its Affiliates are unable to transfer such vehicles or such leases at or prior to the Closing, then Seller shall, and shall cause such Affiliate to, continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer such trucks and other vehicles or assign such leases, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable after Closing.

6.16 Post-Execution Date Audits. If any audit by a Third Party with respect to the payment of Burdens due by a JP Group Member or PE Seller, as applicable, with respect to such JP Group Member’s or PE Seller’s interest in the Assets is initiated after the Execution Date, Seller shall (a) notify Buyer promptly in writing and in reasonable detail after Seller obtains Knowledge of such audit, and (b) consult with and keep Buyer reasonably informed of all material matters relating to such audit.

6.17 Surface Matters. The provisions of Schedule 6.17 are incorporated herein by reference.

6.18 Encumbrances. Without limiting Buyer’s rights to indemnification under Article XIII, if either Party obtains Knowledge of any trust, mortgages, financing statements, fixture filings and security agreements, in each case, securing Indebtedness for Borrowed Money incurred by Seller, the JP Group or their respective Affiliates that affect the Assets, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party thereof and, thereafter, Seller shall use commercially reasonably efforts to obtain releases thereof.

ACCESS; DISCLAIMERS

10.1 Access.

(a) From and after the Execution Date and up to and including the Closing Date (or earlier termination of this Agreement) but subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.1 and obtaining any required consents of Third Parties, including Third Party operators of the Assets (with respect to which consents Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, but shall not be obligated to expend any monies or provide any consideration to obtain such consents, except

57

as may be agreed to be paid or reimbursed by Buyer), Seller shall afford to Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the Assets and all Records in Seller’s possession or reasonable control. All investigations and due diligence conducted by Buyer or any of its Representatives shall be conducted at Buyer’s sole cost, risk and expense and any conclusions made from any examination done by Buyer or any of its Representatives shall result from Buyer’s own independent review and judgment.

(b) From and after the Execution Date and up to the Claim Date, and subject to obtaining any required consents of Third Parties, including Third Party operators of the Assets (with respect to which consents Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, but shall not be obligated to expend any monies or provide any consideration to obtain such consents, except as may be agreed to be paid or reimbursed by Buyer), Buyer shall be entitled to conduct a Phase I site environmental assessment with respect to the Assets, to be conducted by Envirotech Engineering & Consulting, Inc. or any other reputable environmental consulting or engineering firm approved in advance in writing by Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned); provided that no environmental sampling or invasive activity or testing or operation of equipment by Buyer or any of its Representatives may be performed without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and Seller (or its designee) shall have the right to be present during any stage of the assessment. Buyer shall give Seller reasonable prior written notice before gaining physical access to or otherwise inspecting or surveying any of the Assets, whether to conduct a Phase I environmental assessment or otherwise, and shall coordinate any such access, inspections or surveys with Seller. Seller or its designees shall have the right to accompany Buyer and its Representatives whenever they are on-site of the Assets or otherwise inspecting or surveying the Assets. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer and its Representatives shall not have access to, and shall not be permitted to conduct any environmental investigations (including any on-site Phase I environmental assessment) with respect to, any Assets with respect to which the JP Group or Seller, as applicable, does not have the authority to grant access for such investigations; provided that Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain permission from any Third Party operators for Buyer to have such access; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to expend any money, or provide any other consideration to any Third Party operators in order for Buyer to have such access, except as may be agreed to be paid or reimbursed by Buyer. With respect to any Assets operated by Seller, if Buyer’s Phase I environmental site assessment determines that Phase II sampling is necessary in order for Buyer to determine the extent of impact from an Environmental Defect or establish a defensible Remediation Amount with respect to the applicable Assets, Buyer shall (x) furnish Seller with a written description of the proposed scope of such sampling or invasive activities, including a description of the specific activities to be conducted, and a description of the approximate location and expected timing of such activities and (y) obtain the prior written consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to undertake such sampling or invasive activity. If any of the proposed sampling or invasive activities interfere with the normal operations of the Assets or otherwise may cause an undue risk of harm to the site, Seller may request an appropriate modification of the proposed sampling or invasive activities. Any sampling or invasive activities shall be conducted by a reputable environmental consulting or engineering

58

firm approved in advance in writing by Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and, once approved, such environmental consulting or engineering firm shall be deemed a “Representative” of Buyer. Buyer shall obtain all Permits necessary to conduct any approved sampling or invasive activities from any applicable Governmental Authorities. If (i) Seller denies any reasonable request by Buyer to conduct any such sampling or invasive activities that is determined to be necessary by a Phase I environmental site assessment on any Assets operated by Seller or a Third Party operator, or (ii) a Third Party operator of any Assets for which Seller has an express contractual right of access denies access to Buyer to conduct any inspections (including any Phase I environmental site assessment) on such Assets, in each case, Buyer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, as its sole and exclusive remedy for any such denial, to exclude the applicable Asset (as well as any associated Assets) and such Assets shall not be conveyed to Buyer at the Closing, in which case, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of such Assets (which reduction shall not count towards the Aggregate Deductible). Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in attempting to cause any Third Party operator to provide Buyer with the requested access.

(c) Buyer shall (and shall cause its Representatives to) coordinate its environmental assessments and inspections of the Assets with Seller and, where applicable, Third Party operators to minimize any inconvenience to or interruption of the conduct of business by the JP Group, Seller or such Third Party operators. Buyer shall (and shall cause its Representatives to) abide by the JP Group’s, Seller’s and any Third Party operator’s posted safety rules, regulations and operating policies (including with respect to the COVID-19 virus) while conducting its due diligence evaluation of the Assets, including any environmental or other inspection, survey or assessment of the Assets and, to the extent required by any Third Party operator, execute and deliver any required confidentiality, indemnity and release agreement of any such Third Party operator, in each case, before conducting Buyer’s assessment on such Asset in accordance with this Section 10.1. BUYER HEREBY DEFENDS, INDEMNIFIES AND HOLDS HARMLESS EACH OF THE OPERATORS OF THE ASSETS, THE JP GROUP AND THE SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM ANY FIELD VISIT, ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OR OTHER DUE DILIGENCE ACTIVITY CONDUCTED BY BUYER OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES WITH RESPECT TO THE JP GROUP AND/OR THE ASSETS, EVEN IF SUCH COSTS, EXPENSES, DAMAGES AND LIABILITIES ARISE OUT OF OR RESULT FROM OR RELATE TO, SOLELY OR IN PART, THE SOLE, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, CONCURRENT OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT OR VIOLATION OF LAW OF OR BY THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNITY EXCEPTING (I) LIABILITIES TO THE EXTENT RESULTING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY OPERATOR OR A MEMBER OF THE SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES OR, PRIOR TO CLOSING, THE JP GROUP AND (II) LIABILITIES ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY PREVIOUSLY EXISTING CONDITION OF THE ASSETS UNCOVERED OR DISCOVERED AND NOT EXACERBATED BY BUYER OR ANY OF BUYER’S REPRESENTATIVES DURING THE COURSE OF ANY SUCH ACCESS TO OR INSPECTION OF THE ASSETS.

59

(d) Buyer agrees to provide Seller with, together with any applicable Environmental Defect Notice, copies of all final environmental reports and test results prepared by Buyer and/or any of its Representatives that contain data collected or generated from Buyer’s and its Representatives’ due diligence with respect to the Assets to the extent relating to any Environmental Defect asserted by Buyer under such Environmental Defect Notice. Seller shall not be deemed by its receipt of such documents or otherwise to have made any representation or warranty, express, implied or statutory as to the condition of the Assets or to the accuracy of said documents or the information contained therein.

(e) As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event promptly upon completion of Buyer’s due diligence, Buyer shall at its sole cost and expense and without any cost or expense to the JP Group, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates (i) repair all damage done to the Assets in connection with Buyer’s and its Representatives’ due diligence, (ii) if Buyer performed any sampling or invasive activities as may be permitted hereunder, restore the affected Assets to the approximate same condition as they were prior to commencement of any such sampling or invasive activities and (iii) remove all equipment, tools and other property brought onto the Assets in connection with Buyer’s and its Representatives’ due diligence. Any disturbance to the Assets (including, the leasehold associated therewith) resulting from Buyer’s and its Representatives’ due diligence will be promptly corrected by Buyer at Buyer’s sole cost and expense.

(f) During all periods that Buyer or any of its Representatives are on the Assets or are in the JP Group’s, Seller’s or any of their respective Affiliates’ offices, Buyer shall maintain, at its sole cost and expense and with its current insurers, its existing policies of insurance.

10.2 Confidentiality. Buyer acknowledges that, pursuant to its right of access to the Records or the Assets, Buyer and its Representatives (including Buyer’s environmental consulting or engineering firm) will become privy to confidential and other information of Seller or its Affiliates (including the JP Group). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that such information is Evaluation Material (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement), and Buyer shall ensure that such Evaluation Material is held in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. The Parties hereby agree that the Confidentiality Agreement is hereby amended to extend the term of the confidentiality obligations therein until the later of (a) the term as set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, and (b) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the date on which this Agreement is terminated; provided that if Closing should occur, the foregoing confidentiality restriction on Buyer, including the Confidentiality Agreement, shall terminate as of the Closing Date (except as to (A) such portion of the Assets that are not conveyed to Buyer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, (B) the Excluded Assets and (C) information related to interests and assets other than the JP Interests and the Assets). If the Closing should occur, for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors and employees to not, disclose to any Third Party or (except in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute hereunder, or Seller’s compliance with its obligations under this Agreement) use any confidential information regarding the Assets, but, in each case, not including information that (i) is generally available to the public as of the Closing Date, (ii) becomes generally available to the public after

60

the Closing Date other than as a result of disclosure by Seller, its Affiliates or any of its and their respective officers, directors and employees, in violation of this Section 10.2 or (iii) that Seller or its Affiliates is required to disclose pursuant to any Law, requirement or request of any Governmental Authority or national securities exchange. Buyer further agrees that, notwithstanding termination of the Confidentiality Agreement, if the Closing does not occur then Buyer shall continue to maintain as confidential and shall not disclose to any Third Party the results of any Phase I environmental assessment or any other environmental assessment performed on the Assets under Section 10.1 except as expressly permitted by the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, Buyer and its respective Representatives may disclose any Evaluation Material or any other information relating to the Assets or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document to any financing sources (so long as each of the recipients thereof is subject to confidentiality restrictions with respect to such disclosed information) or rating agencies (without any obligation on the part of the rating agencies to comply with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.2 shall prohibit Buyer and its respective Representatives from contacting and having discussions with any potential purchasers or transporters of Hydrocarbon to be produced from the Assets from and after the Closing Date provided that no Evaluation Material is disclosed without Seller’s consent.

ARTICLE XI

TITLE MATTERS; CASUALTY; TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

11.1 Title to Assets.

(a) Without limiting Buyer’s remedies for Title Defects set forth in this Article XI or Buyer’s right to indemnity under Article XIII, and except for Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Article IV and in the Seller’s Certificate, Seller makes no warranty or representation, express, implied, statutory or otherwise with respect to the JP Group’s or PE Seller’s, as applicable, title to any of the Assets, and Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any defect of title, including any Title Defect, with respect to Seller’s title to any of the Assets (i) before Closing, shall be as set forth in Article XI or if applicable, Section 14.1 and (ii) after Closing, shall be pursuant to the Special Warranty in this Agreement and the Assignment of PE Assets, and the other terms of this Agreement.

63

(b) PE Special Warranty. If Closing occurs, then effective as of the Effective Time, Seller shall warrant in the Assignment of PE Assets Defensible Title to the PE Leases and PE Wells unto Buyer against every Person whomsoever claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof by, through or under Seller or any of its Affiliates, but not otherwise, subject, however, to the Permitted Encumbrances (the “PE Special Warranty” and, together with the JP Special Warranty, the “Special Warranty”).

(c) Recovery on Special Warranty of Defensible Title. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, to assert a breach of Seller’s representations and warranties in Section 4.26 or a breach of the PE Special Warranty in the Assignment of PE Assets, Buyer shall furnish Seller a claim notice meeting the requirements of Section 11.2(a) setting forth any matters which Buyer intends to assert as a breach of the Special Warranty. For all purposes of this Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived, and Seller shall have no further Liability for, any breach of the Special Warranty that Buyer fails to assert by a claim notice meeting the requirements of Section 11.2(a) given to Seller on or before the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date. Seller shall have a reasonable opportunity, but not the obligation, to cure any breach of the Special Warranty asserted by Buyer.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, recovery on the Special Warranty shall be limited to an amount (without any interest accruing thereon) equal to the reduction in the Purchase Price to which Buyer would have been entitled had Buyer asserted the defect giving rise to such breach of the Special Warranty as a Title Defect prior to the Claim Date pursuant to Section 11.2, except that the Individual Title Defect Threshold, the Aggregate Deductible, the De Minimis Threshold or the Indemnity Deductible shall not apply. Seller shall be entitled to offset any amount owed by Seller to Buyer for Seller’s breach of the Special Warranty with respect to any Lease, Well, Fee Mineral Interest or Fee Surface Interest by the amount of any Title Benefits with respect to any Lease, Well, Fee Mineral Interest or Fee Surface Interest properly asserted by Seller pursuant to Section 11.2(b) unless such Title Benefit was used as an offset to any Title Defects under Section 11.2.

11.2 Notice of Title Defects; Defect Adjustments.

(a) Title Defect Notices. Buyer must deliver no later than 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) on December 16, 2021 (the “Claim Date”) claim notices to Seller meeting the requirements of this Section 11.2(a) (collectively, the “Title Defect Notices” and individually a “Title Defect Notice”) setting forth any matters that, in Buyer’s good faith opinion, constitute Title Defects and that Buyer intends to assert as a Title Defect pursuant to this Agreement. For all purposes of this Agreement and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except for the Special Warranty, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived, and Seller shall have no Liability for, any Title Defect that Buyer fails to assert as a Title Defect by a properly delivered Title Defect Notice received by Seller on or before the Claim Date. To be effective, each Title Defect Notice shall be in writing and shall include (i) a description of the alleged Title Defect and the Lease or Well, or portion thereof, affected by such Title Defect (each a “Title Defect Property”), (ii) the Allocated Value of each Title Defect Property, (iii) the supporting documents used by Buyer to verify the existence of such alleged Title Defect (any and all of which supporting documents may be furnished via access to a web link or ftp site in lieu of other means of delivery), and (iv) the amount by which Buyer reasonably believes the Allocated Value of each Title Defect Property is reduced by such alleged

64

Title Defect and the computations upon which Buyer’s belief is based; provided that substantial compliance with clause (iii) by the Claim Date followed by prompt delivery of any remaining materials shall satisfy clause (iii). To give Seller an opportunity to commence reviewing and curing Title Defects, Buyer agrees to give Seller, on or before the end of each calendar week prior to the Claim Date, written notice of all alleged Title Defects discovered by Buyer during the preceding calendar week that Buyer intends to assert as a Title Defect, which notice may be preliminary in nature and supplemented prior to the Claim Date; provided, however, Buyer’s failure to provide such notice shall not operate as a waiver or other relinquishment of Buyer’s right to assert Title Defects on or before the Claim Date, nor shall such failure, if any, be deemed a breach of Buyer’s covenant for purposes of Article VIII or Article XIII. From the Execution Date until the Claim Date, Buyer shall also furnish Seller with written notice of any Title Benefit of which Buyer obtains Knowledge. Buyer may not assert as a Title Defect any items disclosed on Schedule 4.5 or Schedule 4.25(a), in each case, as of the Execution Date.

(b) Title Benefit Notices. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver to Buyer on or before the Claim Date with respect to each Title Benefit a notice (a “Title Benefit Notice”) setting forth any matters that, in Seller’s good faith opinion, constitute Title Benefits and that Seller intends to assert as a Title Benefit pursuant to this Agreement. To be effective, each Title Benefit Notice shall be in writing and shall include (i) a description of the alleged Title Benefit and the Lease or Well, or portion thereof, affected by such Title Benefit (each a “Title Benefit Property”), (ii) the Allocated Value of each Title Benefit Property, (iii) supporting information reasonably necessary for Buyer to verify the existence of such alleged Title Benefit and (iv) the amount by which Seller reasonably believes the Allocated Value of each Title Benefit Property is increased by such alleged Title Benefit and the computations upon which Seller’s belief is based; provided that substantial compliance with clause (iii) by the Claim Date followed by prompt delivery of any remaining materials shall satisfy clause (iii). Except for Title Benefits of which Buyer is required to notify Seller pursuant to Section 11.2(a), Seller shall be deemed to have waived all Title Benefits for which a Title Benefit Notice has not been delivered on or before the Claim Date.

(c) Seller’s Right to Cure. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt, at its sole cost, to cure at any time prior to expiration of the Cure Period any Title Defect asserted by Buyer in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that if after pursuit of other remedies reasonably available to Seller to cure any such Title Defect, Seller reasonably believes that such Title Defect can be cured through a quiet title or similar proceeding then, subject to Buyer’s prior written consent with respect to such quiet title or similar proceedings, the Cure Period with respect to such Title Defect may be extended until such quiet title or similar proceeding is finally resolved, notwithstanding Seller’s previous attempt to cure such Title Defect without the use of a quiet title or similar proceeding, so long as Seller initiates the quiet title or similar proceeding on or before the end of the Cure Period with Buyer’s prior written consent as described above and diligently pursues such proceeding. During the period of time from the Closing to the expiration of the Cure Period (or any extended period contemplated by this Section 11.2(c)), Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller, including by giving Seller (or its designee) reasonable access during normal business hours to the Assets and all Records in Buyer’s or its

65

Representatives’ possession or control to the extent necessary to facilitate Seller’s attempt to cure any Title Defect. An election by Seller to attempt to cure a Title Defect shall be without prejudice to its rights under Section 11.2(j) and shall not constitute an admission against interest or a waiver of Seller’s right to dispute the existence, nature or value of, or cost to cure, such Title Defect. No reduction shall be made to the Purchase Price with respect to any Title Defect that Seller has elected to cure post-Closing pursuant to Section 11.2(d)(iii) and/or dispute pursuant to Section 11.2(d).

(d) Remedies for Title Defects. Subject to Seller’s continuing right to dispute the existence of a Title Defect and the Title Defect Amount asserted with respect thereto, and subject to the right of Buyer to terminate this Agreement prior to Closing pursuant to Section 14.1(c), in the event that any Title Defect timely and effectively asserted by Buyer in accordance with Section 11.2(a) is not waived in writing by Buyer or cured prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall, at Seller’s sole option (subject to Buyer’s written consent under Section 11.2(d)(ii) or Section 11.2(d)(iv), if applicable) and by delivery of a written notice to Buyer at least one (1) day prior to the Closing, elect to:

(i) subject to the Individual Title Defect Threshold and the Aggregate Deductible, reduce the Purchase Price by the Title Defect Amount relating to such Title Defect (not to exceed the Allocated Value of the applicable Title Defect Property, except for the JP Assets as set forth in Section 11.2(g)(x)) determined pursuant to this Article XI;

(ii) in the event that the Title Defect Amount asserted by Buyer pursuant to Section 11.2(a) with respect to any Title Defect Property exceeds seventy-five percent (75%) of the Allocated Value for such Title Defect Property, with Buyer’s written consent (which may be withheld in its sole discretion) either (A) if the Title Defect Property is a JP Asset, receive (or have Seller’s designee receive) an assignment from the applicable JP Group Member of the entirety of such Title Defect Property together with all associated JP Assets, as Excluded Assets or (B) if the Title Defect Property is a PE Asset, retain the entirety of such Title Defect Property together with all associated PE Assets, as Excluded Assets, as applicable, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Value of such Title Defect Property and such associated Assets;

(iii) cure the alleged Title Defect pursuant to Section 11.2(c);

(iv) if and then only to the extent Buyer consents in writing, indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties against all Liability (up to the Allocated Value of the applicable Title Defect Property, except for the JP Assets as set forth in Section 11.2(g)(x)) resulting from such Title Defect with respect to such Title Defect Property pursuant to an indemnity agreement prepared by Seller in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer; or

(v) if applicable, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.1(c).

66

If Seller fails to make any of the foregoing elections prior to the Closing, Seller will be deemed to have elected the remedy set forth in Section 11.2(d)(i). Subject to Seller’s continuing right to dispute the existence of a Title Defect and the Title Defect Amount asserted with respect thereto, if Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) the remedy set forth in Section 11.2(d)(iii) for a Title Defect and thereafter fails to cure the alleged Title Defect prior to the expiration of the Cure Period, then Seller shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect the remedy set forth in Section 11.2(d)(i) or, if applicable, Section 11.2(d)(ii) or Section 11.2(d)(iv) for such Title Defect no later than five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Cure Period.

(e) Remedies for Title Benefits. With respect to all Title Benefit Properties reported under Section 11.2(a) and/or Section 11.2(b), the aggregate amount of all Title Benefit Amounts attributable to such Title Benefit Properties shall be used only to offset Title Defect Amounts as provided in Section 11.2(i) and Remediation Amounts as provided in Section 12.1(e).

(f) Exclusive Remedy. Except for (i) Buyer’s rights under the Special Warranty, (ii) Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 14.1(c) and (iii) Buyer’s remedies pursuant to the covenants, representations and warranties in this Agreement, the provisions set forth in Section 11.2(d) shall be the exclusive right and remedy of Buyer with respect to the applicable JP Group Member’s or PE Seller’s failure to have Defensible Title with respect to any Asset or any other title matter.

(g) Title Defect Amount. The amount by which the Allocated Value of a Title Defect Property is reduced as a result of the existence of a Title Defect shall be the “Title Defect Amount” for such Title Defect Property and shall be determined in accordance with the following methodology, terms and conditions (without duplication):

(i) if Buyer and Seller agree in writing on the Title Defect Amount, then that amount shall be the Title Defect Amount;

(ii) if the Title Defect is an Encumbrance that is undisputed and liquidated in amount, then the Title Defect Amount shall be the amount necessary to be paid to remove the Title Defect from the Title Defect Property;

(iii) if the Title Defect solely represents a discrepancy between (A) the Net Revenue Interest of the applicable JP Group Member or PE Seller, as applicable, for any Lease set forth on Exhibit A-JP or Exhibit A-PE, as applicable, or Well set forth on Exhibit B, as to all of the applicable Subject Depth, and (B) the Net Revenue Interest stated therefor on Exhibit A-JP or Exhibit A-PE, as applicable, or Exhibit B, as to such Subject Depth throughout the duration of the productive life of such Lease or Well, then the Title Defect Amount shall be the product of the Allocated Value of such Title Defect Property as to such Subject Depth multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the absolute value of such Net Revenue Interest decrease and the denominator of which is the Net Revenue Interest stated on Exhibit A-JP or Exhibit A-PE, as applicable, or Exhibit B, for such Title Defect Property as to such Subject Depth;

67

(iv) if, with respect to any Title Defect affecting a Lease, the Title Defect is the result of the applicable JP Group Member’s or PE Seller’s, as applicable, Net Acres in and to all of the applicable Subject Depth of such Lease being less than the Net Acres represented by Seller on Exhibit A-JP or Exhibit A-PE, as applicable, as to such Subject Depth of such Lease, then the Title Defect Amount shall be the product of (A) the Allocated Value of such Subject Depth for such Lease multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Net Acre decrease and the denominator of which is the Net Acres set forth for such Subject Depth of such Lease on Exhibit A-JP or Exhibit A-PE, as applicable;

(v) if, with respect to any Title Defect affecting a Fee Mineral Interest, the Title Defect is the result of the applicable JP Group Member’s or PE Seller’s, as applicable, Net Mineral Acres of such Fee Mineral Interest as to any Subject Depth being less than the Net Mineral Acres represented by Seller on Exhibit A-2-JP or Exhibit A-2-PE, as applicable, as to such Subject Depth of such Fee Mineral Interest, then the Title Defect Amount shall be the product of (A) the Allocated Value of such Fee Mineral Interest multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Net Mineral Acre decrease and the denominator of which is the Net Mineral Acres set forth for such Subject Depth of such Fee Mineral Interest on Exhibit A-2-JP or Exhibit A-2-PE, as applicable; and

(vi) if, with respect to any Title Defect affecting a Fee Surface Interest, the Title Defect is the result of the applicable JP Group Member’s or PE Seller’s, as applicable, Net Surface Acres of such Fee Surface Interest being less than the Net Surface Acres represented by Seller on Exhibit C-2-JP or Exhibit C-2-PE, as applicable, then the Title Defect Amount shall be the product of (A) the Allocated Value of such Fee Surface Interest multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Net Surface Acre decrease and the denominator of which is the Net Surface Acres set forth for such Fee Surface Interest on Exhibit C-2-JP or Exhibit C-2-PE, as applicable;

(vii) if the Title Defect solely represents a discrepancy between (A) the Mineral Royalty of the applicable JP Group Member or PE Seller, as applicable, for any Fee Mineral Interest set forth on Exhibit A-2-JP or Exhibit A-2-PE, as applicable, as to all of the applicable Subject Depth, and (B) the Mineral Royalty stated therefor on Exhibit A-2-JP or Exhibit A-2-PE, as applicable, as to such Subject Depth, then the Title Defect Amount shall be the product of the Allocated Value of such Title Defect Property as to such Subject Depth multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Mineral Royalty decrease and the denominator of which is the Mineral Royalty stated on Exhibit A-2-JP or Exhibit A-2-PE, as applicable, for such Title Defect Property as to such Subject Depth; provided that this Section 11.2(g)(vii) shall not apply, and Section 11.2(g)(viii) shall apply, to situations where a Fee Mineral Interest is shown as unleased, but is actually leased to a Third Party;

(viii) if the Title Defect represents any matter other than described in clauses (i) through (vii) of this Section 11.2(g), then the Title Defect Amount shall be determined by taking into account the Allocated Value of the Title Defect Property as to the applicable Subject Depth, the portion of the Title Defect Property affected by the Title Defect as to the applicable Subject Depth, the legal effect of the Title Defect as to the applicable Subject Depth, the potential economic effect of the Title Defect over the productive life of the Title Defect Property as to the applicable Subject Depth, the values placed on such Title Defect by Seller and Buyer as to the applicable Subject Depth and such other reasonable factors as are necessary to make a proper evaluation;

68

(ix) the Title Defect Amount with respect to a Title Defect Property shall be determined without duplication of any costs or losses included in another Title Defect Amount hereunder; and

(x) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XI, the aggregate Title Defect Amounts attributable to the effects of all Title Defects upon any Title Defect Property shall not exceed the Allocated Value of such Title Defect Property, except as set forth in Section 11.2(g)(ii) with respect to Encumbrances that are recourse to the JP Group.

(h) Title Benefit Amount. The Title Benefit Amount resulting from a Title Benefit shall be determined in accordance with the following methodology, terms and conditions (without duplication):

(i) if Buyer and Seller agree in writing on the Title Benefit Amount, then that amount shall be the Title Benefit Amount;

(ii) if, with respect to any Title Benefit affecting a Lease or a Well, the Title Benefit represents an increase in the applicable JP Group Member’s or PE Seller’s, as applicable, Net Revenue Interest for such Title Benefit Property (for the productive life of such Title Benefit Property) and the Working Interest set forth on Exhibit A-JP or Exhibit A-PE, as applicable, or Exhibit B, for such Title Benefit Property is increased (for the productive life of such Title Benefit Property) in the same proportion as the increase in Net Revenue Interest for such Title Benefit Property, then the Title Benefit Amount shall be the product of (A) the Allocated Value of such Title Benefit Property multiplied by (B) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is the Net Revenue Interest increase for such Title Benefit Property and (2) the denominator of which is the Net Revenue Interest set forth for such Title Benefit Property on Exhibit A-JP or Exhibit A-PE, as applicable, or Exhibit B;

(iii) if, with respect to any Title Benefit affecting a Lease, the Title Benefit represents an increase in the applicable JP Group Member’s or PE Seller’s, as applicable, Net Acres in and to a Subject Depth of such Lease over the Net Acres represented by Seller on Exhibit A-JP or Exhibit A-PE, as applicable, for such Subject Depth of such Lease, then the Title Benefit Amount shall be the product of (A) the Allocated Value of such Subject Depth for such Lease multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Net Acre increase and the denominator of which is the Net Acres set forth for such Subject Depth of such Lease on Exhibit A-JP or Exhibit A-PE, as applicable;

(iv) if, with respect to any Title Benefit affecting a Fee Mineral Interest, the Title Benefit is the result of the applicable JP Group Member’s or PE Seller’s, as applicable, Net Mineral Acres of such Fee Mineral Interest as to any Subject Depth being greater than the Net Mineral Acres represented by Seller on Exhibit A-2-JP or Exhibit A-2-PE, as applicable, as to such Subject Depth, then the Title Benefit Amount shall be the product of (A) the Allocated Value of such Fee Mineral Interest multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Net Mineral Acre increase and the denominator of which is the Net Mineral Acres set forth for such Subject Depth of such Fee Mineral Interest on Exhibit A-2-JP or Exhibit A-2-PE, as applicable;

69

(v) if, with respect to any Title Benefit affecting a Fee Surface Interest, the Title Benefit is the result of the applicable JP Group Member’s or PE Seller’s, as applicable, Net Surface Acres of such Fee Surface Interest being greater than the Net Surface Acres represented by Seller on Exhibit C-2-JP or Exhibit C-2-PE, as applicable, then the Title Benefit Amount shall be the product of (A) the Allocated Value of such Fee Surface Interest multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Net Surface Acre increase and the denominator of which is the Net Surface Acres set forth for such Fee Surface Interest on Exhibit C-2-JP or Exhibit C-2-PE, as applicable;

(vi) if, with respect to any Title Benefit affecting a Fee Mineral Interest, the Title Benefit represents an increase in the applicable JP Group Member’s or PE Seller’s, as applicable, Mineral Royalty for such Title Benefit Property, then the Title Benefit Amount shall be the product of (A) the Allocated Value of such Title Benefit Property multiplied by (B) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is the Mineral Royalty increase for such Title Benefit Property and (2) the denominator of which is the Mineral Royalty set forth for such Title Benefit Property on Exhibit A-2-JP or Exhibit A-2-PE, as applicable; provided that this Section 11.2(h)(vi) shall not apply and Section 11.2(h)(vii) shall apply, to situations where a Fee Mineral Interest is shown as leased to a Third Party, but is actually unleased; and

(vii) if the Title Benefit represents any matter other than described in clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 11.2(h), then the Title Benefit Amount shall be determined by taking into account the Allocated Value of such Title Benefit Property, the portion of such Title Benefit Property affected by such Title Benefit, the legal effect of the Title Benefit, the potential economic effect of the Title Benefit over the life of such Title Benefit Property, the values placed upon the Title Benefit by Buyer and Seller and such other reasonable factors as are necessary to make a proper evaluation.

(i) Title Defect Threshold and Deductible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (i) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies provided by Seller for any individual Title Defect for which the Title Defect Amount does not exceed $250,000 (the “Individual Title Defect Threshold”); and (ii) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies provided by Seller for any Title Defect that exceeds the Individual Title Defect Threshold unless (A) the amount of the sum of (1) the aggregate Title Defect Amounts of all such Title Defects that exceed the Individual Title Defect Threshold (but excluding any such Title Defects cured by Seller), plus (2) the aggregate Remediation Amounts of all Environmental Defects that exceed the Individual Environmental Defect Threshold (but excluding any such Environmental Defects cured by Seller), less (3) the aggregate Title Benefit Amounts of all Title Benefits, exceeds (B) the Aggregate Deductible, after which point Buyer shall be entitled to adjustments to the Purchase Price or other applicable remedies available hereunder, but only with respect to the amount by which the aggregate amount of such Title Defect Amounts and Remediation Amounts exceeds the Aggregate Deductible. If a

70

single Title Defect affects multiple Leases, Wells, Fee Mineral Interests or Fee Surface Interests, the Title Defect Amount attributable thereto shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether or not such Title Defect exceeds the Individual Title Defect Threshold, but individual Title Defects shall not be aggregated with other Title Defects under any other circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if Seller or Seller’s designee retains (or receives an assignment of, as applicable) of any Title Defect Property pursuant to Section 11.2(d)(ii), the Title Defect Amount related to such Title Defect Property will not count towards the Aggregate Deductible and (y) if Seller cures any Title Defect in accordance with this Agreement, the Title Defect Amount (or applicable portion thereof) attributable to the affected Title Defect Property will not be counted towards the Aggregate Deductible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XI or Article XII, if Seller timely elects to cure (or is deemed to have elected to cure) Title Defects in accordance with Section 11.2(c) and/or Environmental Defects in accordance with Section 12.1(b) and cures such Title Defects and/or Environmental Defects as provided herein after the Closing and prior to the expiration of the Cure Period, and the effect of such cure causes the Aggregate Deductible to not be exceeded, then, (I) the Parties acknowledge and agree that there will be no adjustments to the Purchase Price, or other remedies provided by Seller for any Title Defects or Environmental Defects, under this Article XI or Article XII and (II) except to the extent such amounts have been paid to Seller, Seller shall be reimbursed by Buyer for any downward adjustments to the Purchase Price under this Article XI or Article XII attributable to any Title Defect Amounts or Remediation Amounts that were made at Closing, with such reimbursement to be reflected and accounted for in the Final Settlement Statement (or, if at such time, the final adjustments to the Purchase Price have already been determined in accordance with Section 3.4 (or if applicable, Section 3.5), then Buyer shall promptly pay to Seller in immediately available funds an amount equal such reimbursement amount).

(j) Title Dispute Resolution. Seller and Buyer shall attempt to agree in writing on matters regarding (i) all Title Defects, Title Benefits, Title Defect Amounts and Title Benefit Amounts and (ii) the adequacy of any curative materials provided by Seller to cure an alleged Title Defect (collectively, the “Disputed Title Matters”) prior to the Closing (or, if Seller elects to attempt to cure pursuant to Section 11.2(c), then prior to the end of the Cure Period). If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree in writing by the Closing (or by the end of the Cure Period if Seller elects to attempt to cure a Title Defect after the Closing), the Disputed Title Matters shall be exclusively and finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.2(j). There shall be a single arbitrator (the “Title Arbitrator”), who shall be an attorney or consultant with at least fifteen (15) years’ experience in title matters involving oil and gas in the applicable jurisdiction(s). The Title Arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller within fifteen (15) days after the Closing or the end of the Cure Period, as applicable, and absent such agreement, by the Houston, Texas regional office of the AAA (or, if there is no such office, the office of the AAA serving Houston, Texas). Each of Buyer and Seller shall submit to the Title Arbitrator, with a simultaneous copy to the other Party, its proposed resolution of each Disputed Title Matter in writing no later than ten (10) Business Days after the appointment of such Title Arbitrator. The proposed resolution of the Disputed Title Matter shall include the best offer of the submitting Party in a single monetary amount that such Party is willing to pay or accept (as applicable) to settle the Disputed Title Matter. The arbitration proceeding shall be held in Fort Worth, Texas, and shall be

71

conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Section 11.2(j). The Title Arbitrator’s determination shall be made within twenty (20) days after submission of the matters in dispute or any hearing (as the case may be) and shall be final and binding upon the Parties, without right of appeal. In making its determination, the Title Arbitrator shall be bound by the rules set forth in Section 11.2(g) and Section 11.2(h) and, subject to the foregoing, may consider such other matters as in the opinion of the Title Arbitrator are necessary or helpful to rendering an award; provided, however, with respect to each Disputed Title Matter, that the Title Arbitrator shall be limited to awarding only one or the other of the amounts proposed by the Parties for the Title Arbitrator’s resolution of such Disputed Title Matter. The Title Arbitrator shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific Disputed Title Matter submitted by either Party and may not award damages, interest, penalties or any other sums to either Party with respect to any matter. The costs of the Title Arbitrator shall be borne equally between Buyer and Seller. To the extent that the award of the Title Arbitrator with respect to any Title Defect Amount or Title Benefit Amount is not taken into account as an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.3 or Section 3.4, then within ten (10) days after the Title Arbitrator delivers his or her award, subject to Section 11.2(i), (i) Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount, if any, so awarded by the Title Arbitrator to Seller, and (ii) Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount, if any, so awarded by the Title Arbitrator to Buyer. Nothing herein shall operate to cause the Closing to be delayed on account of any unresolved Disputed Title Matter arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section 11.2(j) and to the extent any adjustments are not agreed upon by the Parties in writing as of the Closing, the Purchase Price shall not be adjusted therefor at the Closing, and subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price, if any, will be made pursuant to Section 3.4 or this Section 11.2.

11.3 Casualty and Condemnation Loss. With respect to the Assets, the following additional provisions shall apply:

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from and after the Effective Time, if Closing occurs, Buyer shall assume all risk of loss with respect to production of Hydrocarbons through normal depletion (including watering out of any Well, collapsed casing or sand infiltration of any Well), in each case, with respect to the Assets, and Buyer shall not assert, and shall not be entitled to assert, such matters as Casualty Losses, Title Defects, Environmental Defects or breaches of this Agreement.

(b) If, after the Execution Date but prior to the Closing Date, any Asset is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (except to the extent Buyer has an indemnification obligation to Seller for such damage, destruction or casualty under Section 10.1(c)) or is taken in condemnation or under right of eminent domain (each a “Casualty Loss”) Buyer shall nevertheless be required to close if and only if the closing conditions set forth in Article VII are met. Furthermore, if Closing thereafter occurs, (i) Buyer shall assume all risk and loss associated with any such Casualty Loss of up to $1,000,000 in the aggregate (each a “Buyer Casualty Loss”) as an Assumed Obligation (and Seller and its Affiliates shall have no Liability for such Buyer Casualty Loss), (ii) the Purchase Price shall not be adjusted as a result of such Buyer Casualty Loss and (iii) Seller, at Closing, shall pay to Buyer all sums paid to Seller or its Affiliates by Third Parties by reason of such Buyer Casualty Loss insofar as with respect to the Assets, and shall

72

assign, transfer and set over to Buyer or subrogate Buyer to all of Seller’s and its Affiliates’ right, title and interest (if any) in insurance claims (if any), unpaid awards and other rights, in each case, against Third Parties arising out of such Buyer Casualty Loss insofar as with respect to the Assets. Promptly following the occurrence of any Buyer Casualty Loss that occurs prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue such insurance claims, unpaid awards and other rights against Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.3(b), for Casualty Losses that exceed in the aggregate $1,000,000 (each a “Seller Casualty Loss”), Seller may elect by written notice to Buyer prior to Closing to cause the Assets affected by such Seller Casualty Loss to be repaired or restored, if such repair or restoration is reasonably feasible, prior to Closing to substantially its condition prior to the applicable Seller Casualty Loss, at Seller’s sole cost (without an adjustment to the Purchase Price), in which event Seller shall retain all claims against Third Parties with respect to the Seller Casualty Loss. If Seller elects to cure such Seller Casualty Loss, Seller may replace any personal property that is the subject of a Seller Casualty Loss with equipment of similar grade and utility, or replace any personal property with personal property of similar nature and kind as would a prudent operator. If Seller elects to cure the Seller Casualty Loss and does in fact cure the Seller Casualty Loss, there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price. In the event that Seller does not make such election or is not able to cure such Seller Casualty Loss prior to Closing, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the uncured Seller Casualty Losses, such amount not to exceed the Allocated Value of the Assets affected by such Seller Casualty Losses.

11.4 Consents to Assign. With respect to each Consent set forth on Schedule 4.6, Seller, not later than ten (10) days after the Execution Date (and, with respect to any Consent that is not set forth on Schedule 4.6 but is discovered by either Party after the Execution Date and before the Closing Date, not later than ten (10) days after such discovery), shall send to the holder of each such Consent a notice in material compliance with the contractual provisions applicable to such Consent seeking such holder’s consent to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(a) If Seller fails to obtain a Consent set forth on Schedule 4.6 prior to Closing and (i) the failure to obtain such Consent would cause (A) the direct or indirect assignment to Buyer of the Assets (or portion thereof affected thereby) to be void, nullified or voidable, (B) the termination of a Lease or Applicable Contract under the express terms thereof, or (C) the payment of liquidated damages or other amounts in excess of $500,000 under the express terms of the applicable Lease or Applicable Contract, or (ii) such Consent was denied by the holder thereof in writing (a consent satisfying (i) or (ii) a “Hard Consent”), then (1) the Asset (or portion thereof) affected by such Hard Consent shall not be conveyed to Buyer at the Closing (and if such Asset is held by the JP Group it shall be transferred to Seller as an Excluded Asset), (2) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of such Asset (or portion thereof) excluded from the Assets conveyed to Buyer at Closing, and (3) Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Hard Consent applicable to the transfer of such Asset following the Closing; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to pay any money or provide other out-of-pocket consideration to any holder of any such Hard Consent in order to obtain such Hard Consent. In the event that a Hard Consent (with respect to an Asset excluded pursuant to this Section 11.4(a)) that was not obtained prior to Closing is obtained within one hundred eighty (180) days following

73

Closing, then, within ten (10) Business Days after such Hard Consent is obtained (x) Buyer shall purchase the Asset (or portion thereof) and any associated Assets (or portion thereof) that were so excluded as a result of such previously un-obtained Hard Consent and pay to Seller the amount by which the Purchase Price was reduced at Closing with respect to the Asset (or portion thereof) and any associated Assets so excluded (as such amount is appropriately adjusted in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement, and as such approach may be further adjusted pursuant to this Agreement) and (y) Seller shall assign to Buyer the Assets (or portion thereof) and any associated Assets so excluded at Closing pursuant to an instrument in substantially the same form as the Assignment of JP Interests or the Assignment of PE Assets, in each case, pursuant to Section 9.5 (and the other terms and conditions herein) with respect to such Assets (or portion thereof) and any associated Assets so excluded at Closing.

(b) If Seller fails to obtain a Consent set forth on Schedule 4.6 prior to Closing, and such Consent is not a Hard Consent, then the Asset (or portion thereof) subject to such un-obtained Consent shall nevertheless be assigned by Seller to Buyer at Closing as part of the Assets and Buyer shall have no claim against, and Seller shall have no Liability to Buyer for, the failure to obtain such Consent.

(c) Prior to Closing, Seller and Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Consents listed on Schedule 4.6 (and any Consent that is not set forth on Schedule 4.6 but is discovered by either Party after the Execution Date and before the Closing Date); provided, however, that no Party shall be required to pay any money or provide other out-of-pocket consideration to the holders of any Consent in order to obtain any such Consent. Subject to the foregoing, Buyer agrees to provide Seller with any information or documentation that may be reasonably requested by Seller or the Third Party holder(s) of such Consents in order to facilitate the process of obtaining such Consents.

11.5 Preferential Purchase Rights. With respect to each Preferential Purchase Right set forth on Schedule 4.7, Seller, not later than ten (10) days of the Execution Date (and, with respect to any Preferential Purchase Right that is not set forth on Schedule 4.7 but is discovered by either Party after the Execution Date and before the Closing Date, not later than ten (10) days after such discovery), shall send to the holder of each such Preferential Purchase Right a notice in material compliance with the contractual provisions applicable to such Preferential Purchase Right with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(a) In the event that any holder of a Preferential Purchase Right notifies Seller that it intends to exercise such Preferential Purchase Right prior to the Closing, the Assets subject to such Preferential Purchase Right shall be excluded from this Agreement (but only to the extent of the portion of such Asset affected by the Preferential Purchase Right), the Purchase Price shall be reduced at Closing by an amount equal to the aggregate Allocated Values of such affected Assets (or portions of such Assets) and, subject to Article IX, the Closing shall occur as to the remainder of the Assets (or interests therein).

74

(b) In the event that any holder of a Preferential Purchase Right fails to exercise such Preferential Purchase Right prior to the Closing and the time period for exercise or waiver of such Preferential Purchase Right has not yet expired, then, if the Assets subject to such Preferential Purchase Right are PE Assets, such Assets shall be retained by Seller and the Purchase Price shall be reduced at Closing by an amount equal to the aggregate Allocated Values of such retained Assets. With respect to any PE Assets retained by Seller pursuant to this Section 11.5, if, subsequent to the Closing, any Preferential Purchase Right is waived, or if the time period otherwise set forth for exercising such Preferential Purchase Right expires without exercise by the holders thereof, or such holder of such Preferential Purchase Right fails to consummate the purchase of the Assets covered by such Preferential Purchase Right in accordance with the terms of the Preferential Purchase Right, in each case, prior to the expiration of one hundred eighty (180) days following Closing, then Seller and Buyer shall effect a Closing pursuant to Section 9.5 (and the other terms and conditions herein) with respect to, and Seller shall transfer to Buyer, the Assets (or interests therein) subject to such Preferential Purchase Right and any related Assets which were excluded from the Closing as provided in this Section 11.5, and Buyer shall pay or provide to Seller an amount equal to the aggregate Allocated Values of such Assets (as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2).

ARTICLE XII

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

12.1 Notice of Environmental Defects.

(a) Environmental Defects Notice. Buyer must deliver no later than 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) on the Claim Date claim notices to Seller meeting the requirements of this Section 12.1(a) (collectively the “Environmental Defect Notices” and individually an “Environmental Defect Notice”) setting forth any matters that, in Buyer’s good faith opinion, constitute Environmental Defects and that Buyer intends to assert as Environmental Defects pursuant to this Agreement. Except for Buyer’s right to indemnification pursuant to Article XIII with respect to a breach of Section 4.19, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived, and Seller shall have no Liability for, any Environmental Defect that Buyer fails to assert as an Environmental Defect by a properly delivered Environmental Defect Notice received by Seller on or before the Claim Date. To be effective, each Environmental Defect Notice shall be in writing and shall include (i) a description of the alleged Environmental Defect and the Assets affected by such alleged Environmental Defect (including, but not limited to, reference to the specific Environmental Laws alleged to have been violated with respect to and that currently require Remediation of the alleged Environmental Defect), (ii) the Allocated Value of the Assets (or portions thereof) affected by such alleged Environmental Defect, (iii) supporting documents reasonably necessary for Seller to verify the existence of such alleged Environmental Defect (any and all of which supporting documents may be furnished via access to a web link or ftp site in lieu of other means of delivery) and (iv) a reasonably detailed calculation of the Remediation Amount that Buyer asserts is attributable to such alleged Environmental Defect, including a description of assumptions used by Buyer with respect to calculation of such Remediation Amount; provided that substantial compliance with clause (iii) by the Claim Date followed by prompt delivery of any remaining materials shall satisfy clause (iii). To give Seller an opportunity to commence reviewing and curing Environmental Defects, Buyer agrees to give Seller, on or before the end of each calendar week prior to the Claim Date, written notice of all alleged Environmental Defects

75

discovered by Buyer during the preceding calendar week that Buyer intends to assert as an Environmental Defect, which notice may be preliminary in nature and supplemented prior to the Claim Date; provided, however, Buyer’s failure to provide such notice shall not operate as a waiver or other relinquishment of Buyer’s right to assert Environmental Defects on or before the Claim Date, nor shall such failure, if any, be deemed a breach of Buyer’s covenant for purposes of Article VIII or Article XIII. Buyer may not assert as an Environmental Defect any TCEQ Fulfillment Obligation.

(b) Seller’s Right to Cure. Subject to Section 12.1(c)(iii), Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt, at its sole cost, to cure at any time prior to the expiration of the Cure Period any Environmental Defect asserted by Buyer in accordance with this Agreement. Subject to Section 12.1(c)(iii), during the period of time from the Closing to the expiration of the Cure Period, Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller, including by giving Seller (or its designee) reasonable access during normal business hours to the Assets and all Records in Buyer’s or its Representatives’ possession or control to the extent necessary or convenient to facilitate Seller’s attempt to cure any Environmental Defect. An election by Seller to attempt to cure an Environmental Defect shall be without prejudice to Seller’s rights under Section 12.1(f) and shall not constitute an admission against interest or a waiver of Seller’s right to dispute the existence, nature or value of, or cost to cure or Remediate, such Environmental Defect. No reduction shall be made to the Purchase Price with respect to any Environmental Defect that Seller has elected to cure post-Closing pursuant to Section 12.1(c)(iii) and/or dispute pursuant to Section 12.1(c).

(c) Remedies for Environmental Defects. Subject to Seller’s continuing right to dispute the existence of an Environmental Defect and the Remediation Amount asserted with respect thereto, and subject to the right of Buyer to terminate this Agreement prior to Closing pursuant to Section 14.1(c), in the event that any Environmental Defect timely and effectively asserted by Buyer in accordance with Section 12.1(a) is not waived in writing by Buyer or cured prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall, at Seller’s sole option (subject to Buyer’s written consent under Section 12.1(c)(ii), Section 12.1(c)(iii) or Section 12.1(c)(iv), if applicable) and by delivery of a written notice to Buyer at least one (1) day prior to the Closing, elect to:

(i) subject to the Individual Environmental Defect Threshold and the Aggregate Deductible, reduce the Purchase Price by the Remediation Amount relating to such Environmental Defect determined pursuant to this Article XII;

(ii) in the event that the aggregate Remediation Amount asserted by Buyer pursuant to Section 12.1(a) with respect to any Asset affected by Environmental Defects asserted by Buyer exceeds seventy-five percent (75%) the Allocated Value for such Asset, with Buyer’s written consent (which may be withheld in its sole discretion) either (A) if the Asset affected by the Environmental Defect is a JP Asset, receive (or have Seller’s designee receive) an assignment from the applicable JP Group Member of the entirety of the JP Asset that is subject to such Environmental Defects, together with all associated JP Assets, as Excluded Assets or (B) if the Asset affected by the Environmental Defect is a PE Asset, retain the entirety of the PE Asset that is subject to such Environmental Defects together with all associated PE Assets, as Excluded Assets, as applicable, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Value of such Asset and such associated Assets;

76

(iii) subject to Buyer’s prior written consent and the Parties’ agreement to an appropriate indemnity in favor of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer with respect to Seller’s access to the affected Assets from and after the Closing, cure the alleged Environmental Defect pursuant to Section 12.1(b) after the Closing;

(iv) if and then only to the extent Buyer consents in writing, indemnify Buyer against all Liability resulting from such Environmental Defect with respect to the Assets subject to such Environmental Defect pursuant to an indemnity agreement prepared by Seller in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer; or

(v) if applicable, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.1(c).

If Seller fails to make any of the foregoing elections prior to the Closing, Seller will be deemed to have elected the remedy set forth in Section 12.1(c)(i). Subject to Seller’s continuing right to dispute the existence of an Environmental Defect and the Remediation Amount asserted with respect thereto, if Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) the remedy set forth in Section 12.1(c)(iii) for an Environmental Defect and thereafter fails to cure the alleged Environmental Defect prior to the expiration of the Cure Period, then Seller shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect the remedy set forth in Section 12.1(c)(i) or, if applicable, Section 12.1(c)(ii) or Section 12.1(c)(iv) for such Environmental Defect no later than five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Cure Period.

(d) Exclusive Remedy. Except for Buyer’s rights to terminate this Agreement prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 14.1(c), Buyer’s right to indemnification pursuant to Article XIII with respect to a breach of Section 4.19 and Buyer’s remedies pursuant to the covenants, representations and warranties in this Agreement, the provisions set forth in Section 12.1(c) shall be the exclusive right and remedy of Buyer with respect to any Environmental Defect affecting any Asset or other environmental matter.

(e) Environmental Deductibles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies provided by Seller for any individual Environmental Defect for which the Remediation Amount does not exceed $250,000 (the “Individual Environmental Defect Threshold”); and (ii) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies provided by Seller for any Environmental Defect for which the Remediation Amount exceeds the Individual Environmental Defect Threshold unless (A) the amount of the sum of (1) the aggregate Remediation Amounts of all such Environmental Defects that exceed the Individual Environmental Defect Threshold (but excluding any such Environmental Defects cured by Seller), plus (2) the aggregate Title Defect Amounts of all Title Defects that exceed the Individual Title Defect Threshold (but excluding any such Title Defects cured by Seller), less (3) the aggregate Title Benefit Amounts of all Title Benefits, exceeds (B) the Aggregate Deductible, after which point Buyer shall be entitled to adjustments to the Purchase Price or other applicable remedies

77

available hereunder, but only with respect to the amount by which the aggregate amount of such Remediation Amounts and Title Defect Amounts exceeds the Aggregate Deductible. If a single Environmental Defect affects multiple Assets, the Remediation Amount attributable thereto shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether or not such Environmental Defect exceeds the Individual Environmental Defect Threshold, but individual Environmental Defects shall not be aggregated with other Environmental Defects under any other circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if Seller or Sellers’ designee retains (or receives an assignment of, as applicable) any Asset affected by Environmental Defects pursuant to Section 12.1(c)(ii), the Remediation Amount related to such Asset will not count towards the Aggregate Deductible and (y) if Seller Remediates any Environmental Defect in accordance with this Agreement, the Remediation Amount (or applicable portion thereof) attributable to the affected Asset will not be counted towards the Aggregate Deductible.

(f) Environmental Dispute Resolution. Seller and Buyer shall attempt to agree in writing on matters regarding (i) all Environmental Defects and Remediation Amounts and (ii) the adequacy of any curative materials provided by Seller to cure an alleged Environmental Defect (collectively, the “Disputed Environmental Matters”) prior to the Closing (or, if Seller elects to attempt to cure pursuant to Section 12.1(b), then prior to the end of the Cure Period). If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree in writing by the Closing (or by the end of the Cure Period if Seller elects to attempt to cure an Environmental Defect after the Closing), the Disputed Environmental Matters shall be exclusively and finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to this Section 12.1(f). There shall be a single arbitrator (the “Environmental Arbitrator”), who shall be an attorney or consultant with at least fifteen (15) years’ experience in environmental matters involving oil and gas in the applicable jurisdiction(s). The Environmental Arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller within fifteen (15) days after the Closing or the end of the Cure Period, as applicable, and absent such agreement, by the Fort Worth, Texas regional office of the AAA (or, if there is no such office, the office of the AAA serving Fort Worth, Texas). Each of Buyer and Seller shall submit to the Environmental Arbitrator, with a simultaneous copy to the other Party, its proposed resolution of each Disputed Environmental Matter in writing within ten (10) Business Days after the appointment of such Environmental Arbitrator. The proposed resolution of the Disputed Environmental Matter shall include the best offer of the submitting Party in a single monetary amount that such Party is willing to pay or accept (as applicable) to settle the Disputed Environmental Matter. The arbitration proceeding shall be held in Fort Worth, Texas and shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Section 12.1(f). The Environmental Arbitrator’s determination shall be made within twenty (20) days after submission of the matters in dispute or any hearing (as the case may be) and shall be final and binding upon the Parties, without right of appeal. In making its determination, the Environmental Arbitrator shall be bound by the rules set forth in Section 12.1 and, subject to the foregoing, may consider such other matters as in the opinion of the Environmental Arbitrator are necessary or helpful to rendering an award; provided, however, with respect to each Disputed Environmental Matter, that the Environmental Arbitrator shall be limited to awarding only one or the other of the amounts proposed by the Parties for the Environmental Arbitrator’s resolution of such Disputed Environmental Matter. The Environmental Arbitrator shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific Disputed

78

Environmental Matter submitted by either Party and may not award damages, interest, penalties or any other sums to either Party with respect to any matter. The costs of the Environmental Arbitrator shall be borne equally between Buyer and Seller. To the extent that the award of the Environmental Arbitrator with respect to any Remediation Amount is not taken into account as an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.3 or Section 3.4, then, within ten (10) days after the Environmental Arbitrator delivers his or her award, subject to Section 12.1(e), (i) Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount, if any, so awarded by the Environmental Arbitrator to Seller, and (ii) Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount, if any, so awarded by the Environmental Arbitrator to Buyer. Nothing herein shall operate to cause the Closing to be delayed on account of any unresolved Disputed Environmental Matter arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section 12.1(f), and to the extent any adjustments are not agreed upon by the Parties in writing as of the Closing, the Purchase Price shall not be adjusted therefor at the Closing, and subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price, if any, will be made pursuant to Section 3.4 or this Section 12.1.

12.2 NORM, Asbestos, Wastes and Other Substances. Buyer acknowledges that (a) the Assets have been used for exploration, development and production of oil and gas and that there may be petroleum, produced water, wastes or other substances or materials located in, on or under the Assets or associated with the Assets; (b) equipment and sites included in the Assets may contain asbestos, NORM or other Hazardous Substances; (c) NORM may affix or attach itself to the inside of wells, materials and equipment as scale, or in other forms; (d) the wells, materials and equipment located on the Assets or included in the Assets may contain NORM, asbestos and other wastes or Hazardous Substances; (e) NORM containing material and other wastes or Hazardous Substances may have come in contact with various environmental media, including, water, soils or sediment; (f) special procedures may be required for the assessment, Remediation, removal, transportation, or disposal of environmental media, wastes, asbestos, NORM and other Hazardous Substances from the Assets; and (g) notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the presence of NORM or asbestos-containing materials that are non-friable cannot be claimed as an Environmental Defect.

13.7 Indemnification Procedures. All claims for indemnification under Section 10.1(c), Section 13.2 and Section 13.3 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) In General. For purposes of Section 10.1(c) and this Article XIII, the term “Indemnifying Party” when used in connection with particular Liabilities shall mean the Party having an obligation to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Party or Buyer Indemnified Party, as applicable, with respect to such Liabilities pursuant to Section 10.1(c) or this Article XIII, and the term “Indemnified Party” when used in connection with particular Liabilities shall mean the Seller Indemnified Party or Buyer Indemnified Party, as applicable, having the right to be indemnified with respect to such Liabilities by Buyer or Seller, as applicable, pursuant to Section 10.1(c) or this Article XIII.

83

(b) Claims Procedure. To make a claim for indemnification under Section 10.1(c), Section 13.2 or Section 13.3, an Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of its claim under this Section 13.7, including the specific details of and specific basis under this Agreement for its claim (the “Claim Notice”). In the event that the claim for indemnification is based upon a claim by a Third Party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall provide its Claim Notice promptly after the Indemnified Party 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 Party to give notice of a Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 13.7(b) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 10.1(c), Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 (as applicable) except to the extent such failure results in insufficient time being available to permit the Indemnifying Party to effectively defend against the Third Party Claim or otherwise materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against the Third Party Claim. In the event that the claim for indemnification is based upon an inaccuracy or breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, the Indemnified Party shall provide its Claim Notice promptly after the Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach and shall specify the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that was inaccurate or breached.

(c) Third Party Claims.

(i) In the case of a claim for indemnification based upon a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Claim Notice relating thereto to notify the Indemnified Party whether it admits or denies its Liability to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party is authorized, prior to and during such thirty (30) day period (or, if earlier, until the Indemnifying Party admits its Liability to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim) to, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, file any motion, answer or other pleading that it shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and that is not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party admits its Liability to defend and indemnify the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, it shall have the right and obligation to diligently defend and indemnify, at its sole cost and expense, the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim, and shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, at its own expense, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 13.7(c)(ii). An Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (A) settle any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto which does not include an unconditional written release of the Indemnified Party from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (B) settle any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto in any manner that may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party (other than as a result of money damages covered by the indemnity hereunder).

84

(iii) If the Indemnifying Party does not admit its Liability against a Third Party Claim or admits its Liability to defend and indemnify the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, but fails to diligently prosecute, indemnify against or settle the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend and indemnify against and, if applicable, settle the Third Party Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (if the Indemnifying Party is determined to have indemnification Liability with respect to such matter), with counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choosing, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to admit its Liability and assume the defense of the Third Party Claim at any time prior to settlement or final determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Party has not yet admitted its Liability to defend and indemnify the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall send written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any proposed settlement and the Indemnifying Party shall have the option for ten (10) days following receipt of such notice to (1) admit in writing its Liability to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the Liability and if Liability is so admitted, either (A) consent to such settlement or (B) reject, in its reasonable judgment, the proposed settlement or (2) deny Liability. Any failure by the Indemnifying Party to respond to such notice shall be deemed to be an election under subsection (2) above.

(d) Direct Claims. In the case of a claim for indemnification not based upon a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Claim Notice to (i) cure the Liabilities complained of, (ii) admit its Liability for such Liability or (iii) dispute the claim for such Liabilities. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within such thirty (30) day period that it has cured the Liabilities or that it disputes the claim for such Liabilities, the Indemnifying Party shall conclusively be deemed to have denied Liability with respect to such matter. If the Indemnifying Party does not admit or otherwise does deny its Liability against a claim for indemnification not based upon a Third Party Claim within the thirty (30)-day time period set forth in this Section 13.7(d), then the Indemnified Party shall diligently and in good faith pursue its rights and remedies under this Agreement with respect to such claim for indemnification.

NONE OF THE BUYER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES NOR SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM SELLER OR BUYER, AS APPLICABLE, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH PARTY SUFFERS SUCH DAMAGES TO A THIRD PARTY, WHICH DAMAGES (INCLUDING COSTS OF DEFENSE AND REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH DEFENDING AGAINST SUCH DAMAGES) SHALL NOT BE EXCLUDED BY THIS PROVISION AS TO RECOVERY HEREUNDER. SUBJECT TO THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, BUYER, ON BEHALF OF EACH OF THE BUYER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES AND SELLER, ON BEHALF OF EACH OF THE SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES, EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RECOVER ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

88

ARTICLE XIV

TERMINATION, DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

14.1 Right of Termination. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (by written notice from the terminating Party to the other Party):

(a) by Seller, at Seller’s option, if any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1, Section 8.2 or Section 8.6 have not been satisfied on or at any time after the Target Closing Date (or, with respect to those conditions that can only be satisfied at the Closing, are not capable of being satisfied on or at any time after the Target Closing Date) and, following written notice thereof from Seller to Buyer specifying the reason such condition is unsatisfied (including any breach by Buyer of this Agreement), such condition remains unsatisfied for a period of ten (10) Business Days after Buyer’s receipt of written notice thereof from Seller; provided that the foregoing cure period of Buyer shall be limited to five (5) Business Days with respect to a violation of, breach of or failure to perform the covenants in Section 9.3(f);

(b) by Buyer, at Buyer’s option, if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 or Section 7.6 have not been satisfied on or at any time after the Target Closing Date (or, with respect to those conditions that can only be satisfied at the Closing, are not capable of being satisfied on or at any time after the Target Closing Date) and, following written notice thereof from Buyer to Seller specifying the reason such condition is unsatisfied (including any breach by Seller of this Agreement), such condition remains unsatisfied for a period of ten (10) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of written notice thereof from Buyer;

(c) by Seller or Buyer if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before February 4, 2022, or such later date as agreed to in writing by Seller and Buyer (in each such Party’s sole discretion), in each case, as may be extended pursuant to Section 6.6 (the “Outside Date”);

89

(d) by Seller or Buyer if consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is enjoined, restrained or otherwise prohibited or otherwise made illegal by the terms of a final, non-appealable order of a Governmental Authority;

(e) by Buyer if the condition set forth in Section 7.4 is not satisfied on or before the Outside Date or by Seller if the condition set forth in Section 8.4 is not satisfied on or before the Outside Date;

(f) by the mutual prior written consent of Seller and Buyer;

provided, however, that no Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c) or (e) of this Section 14.1 if such Party is a Breaching Party at the time this Agreement would otherwise be terminated by such Breaching Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing proviso, a Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement prior to the Closing under Section 14.1(c) at any time following the sixtieth (60^th) day after the Outside Date unless, prior to such Breaching Party so terminating this Agreement, the other Party has commenced appropriate proceedings to enforce its rights pursuant to Section 14.2 including specific performance, and, thereafter, uses commercially reasonable efforts to prosecute such proceeding or proceedings(s). Any such termination by the Breaching Party pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be without prejudice to the other Party’s rights and remedies under Section 14.2.

14.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any provision of Section 14.1, then this Agreement shall forthwith become void, and the Parties shall have no Liability hereunder; provided that the provisions of Section 10.1(c), Section 10.1(e), Section 10.2, Section 10.3, Section 13.11, this Section 14.2, Section 14.3, Article I and Article XV (other than Section 15.3, Section 15.8, Section 15.16 and Section 15.18, which shall terminate) and such of the defined terms set forth in Annex I to give context to such Sections shall, in each case, survive such termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement, Seller shall be free immediately to enjoy all rights of ownership of the JP Interests, the JP Group and the Assets and to sell, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of the same to any Person without any restriction under this Agreement.

(b) If Seller has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.1(a) and Buyer is a Breaching Party, then, in such event, Seller shall have the right to, at its option, (A) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.1(a) and, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, retain the Deposit as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, for such termination, free and clear of any claims thereon by Buyer or (B) in lieu of terminating this Agreement, seek all remedies available at law or in equity for Buyer’s Willful Breach, including an order of specific performance requiring Buyer to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that Seller may simultaneously pursue any (one or more) of the foregoing remedies but in no event shall Seller be permitted or entitled to receive both of the remedies described in the immediately foregoing clauses (A) and (B). The provision for retention of the Deposit as liquidated damages in this Section 14.2(b) has been included because, in the event of a termination of this Agreement where Seller is entitled to retain the Deposit, the actual damages to be incurred by Seller can reasonably be expected to approximate the amount of liquidated damages called for herein and because the actual amount of such damages would be difficult if not impossible to measure accurately.

90

(c) If Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.1(b) and Seller is a Breaching Party, then, in such event, Buyer shall have the right to, at its option, (A) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.1(b) and, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy, receive an amount from Seller equal to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) (the “Seller Termination Payment”) as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, for such termination, free and clear of any claims thereon by Seller or (B) in lieu of terminating this Agreement, seek all remedies available at law or in equity for Seller’s Willful Breach, including specific performance by Seller requiring Seller to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that Buyer may simultaneously pursue any (one or more) of the foregoing remedies but in no event shall Buyer be permitted or entitled to receive both of the remedies described in the immediately foregoing clauses (A) and (B). The provision for the payment by Seller of an amount equal to the Seller Termination Payment as liquidated damages in this Section 14.2(c) has been included because, in the event of a termination of this Agreement where Seller is required to pay Buyer an amount equal to the Seller Termination Payment, the actual damages to be incurred by Buyer can reasonably be expected to approximate the amount of liquidated damages called for herein and because the actual amount of such damages would be difficult if not impossible to measure accurately.

(d) In the event that this Agreement is terminated under Section 14.1 and Seller is not entitled to retain the Deposit under Section 14.2(b), Seller shall promptly return to Buyer the entirety of the Deposit (without interest).

(e) If a Party resorts to legal proceedings to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing Party in such proceedings shall be entitled to recover all costs incurred by such Party from the other Party, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, in addition to any other relief to which such Party may be entitled.

14.3 Return of Documentation and Confidentiality. Upon termination of this Agreement, Buyer shall return to Seller all original (and destroy all copies of) title, engineering, Third Party G&G Data, Proprietary G&G Data, environmental assessments and reports, maps and other information furnished by Seller to Buyer or prepared by or on behalf of Buyer in connection with its due diligence investigation of the JP Group or the Assets, in each case in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, and an officer of Buyer shall certify the same to Seller in writing.

ARTICLE XV

MISCELLANEOUS

15.1 Appendices, Exhibits and Schedules.

(a) All of the Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules referred to in this Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference and constitute a part of this Agreement. Each Party and its counsel has received a complete set of Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules prior to and as of the execution of this Agreement.

91

(b) In no event shall disclosure of any matter, fact, occurrence, information or circumstance in the Exhibits or Schedules be deemed or interpreted to broaden the scope of the representations and warranties, obligations, covenants, conditions, indemnities or agreements contained in this Agreement, or to create any representation, warranty, obligation, covenant, condition, indemnity or agreement that is not contained in this Agreement. The inclusion of any matter, fact, occurrence, information or circumstance in the Exhibits or Schedules shall not be construed as an admission or acknowledgment or otherwise imply (i) that such matter, fact, occurrence, information or circumstance is required to be listed in the Exhibits or Schedules in order for any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be true and correct or (ii) that, with respect to any representation or warranty qualified by materiality (or similar qualifier), such matter, fact, occurrence, information or circumstance is, or may be, material.

(c) Any exception, qualification or other disclosure set forth on the Schedules attached to this Agreement with respect to a particular representation, warranty, obligation, covenant, condition, indemnity or agreement contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an exception, qualification or other disclosure with respect to all sections contained in the Schedules to the extent the description of facts regarding the event, item or matter in such disclosure is adequate so as to make reasonably apparent to Buyer that such exception, qualification or disclosure is applicable to such other sections whether or not such exception, qualification or disclosure is so numbered.

(d) Matters reflected in the Exhibits or Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Exhibits or Schedules. In particular, if the Exhibits or Schedules contain supplementary information not specifically required under this Agreement to be included in the Exhibits or Schedules, such additional matters are set forth solely for informational purposes, are not represented or warranted in this Agreement and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. In addition, the disclosure of any matter in the Exhibits or Schedules is not to be deemed an admission against any Party that such matter actually constitutes noncompliance with or a violation of contract or Law or other topic to which such disclosure is applicable. In disclosing any matter, fact, occurrence, information or circumstance in the Exhibits or Schedules, no Party is waiving any attorney-client privilege associated with any such matter, fact, occurrence, information or circumstance, or any protection afforded by the “work product doctrine” with respect to any of the same.

15.2 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, under Article XIII), all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Seller (including JP Group Transaction Expenses) or Buyer (including fees, costs and expenses incurred by the JP Group after the Closing, excluding JP Group Transaction Expenses) in negotiating this Agreement and the Transaction Documents or in consummating the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be paid by the Party incurring the same, including, legal and accounting fees, costs and expenses.

92

15.3 Taxes.

(a) All required documentary, filing and recording fees and expenses in connection with the filing and recording of the assignments, conveyances or other instruments required to convey title to the JP Interests and Assets to Buyer shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Sellers, collectively. All sales, use, transfer, stamp, documentary, registration or similar Taxes, if any, incurred or imposed with respect to the transactions described in this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Sellers, collectively. The Party required by applicable Law to file a Tax Return with respect to such Transfer Taxes will do so within the time period prescribed by applicable Law, and, the non-filing Party will promptly reimburse the other Party for its portion of the Transfer Taxes so payable upon receipt of written notice that such Transfer Taxes are payable. Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the amount of any such Transfer Taxes.

(b) Each Party 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, litigation or other proceeding (each a “Tax Proceeding”) with respect to (i) Assets Taxes attributable to the Assets and (ii) any Taxes imposed on or with respect to the JP Group. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon another Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are 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 under this Agreement. Seller and Buyer agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Assets relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the respective taxable periods and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding the above, the control and conduct of any Tax Proceeding that is a Third Party Claim shall be governed by Section 13.7(c).

(c) Without duplication of clause (f) of the definition of Excluded Assets, Seller shall be entitled to any and all refunds of Asset Taxes allocated to Seller pursuant to Section 15.3(e)(i) and Section 15.3(e)(ii), and Buyer shall be entitled to any and all refunds of Asset Taxes allocated to Buyer pursuant to Section 15.3(e)(x) and Section 15.3(e)(y). If a Party or its Affiliate receives a refund of Asset Taxes to which the other Party is entitled pursuant to this Section 15.3(c), such recipient Party shall forward to the entitled Party the amount of such refund within thirty (30) days after such refund is received, net of any reasonable out of pocket costs or expenses incurred by such recipient Party in procuring such refund.

(d) Seller shall prepare and file any Tax Returns with respect to Asset Taxes that are required to be filed on or before the Closing Date and shall pay any Asset Taxes that are due and payable on or before the Closing Date and such Tax Returns shall not be amended by Buyer without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. To the extent any such Tax Return relates to a Straddle Period, Seller shall submit such Tax Return to Buyer for its review and comment reasonably in advance of the due date therefor and timely file each such Tax Return, incorporating any reasonable comments

93

received from Buyer reasonably in advance of the due date therefor. After the Closing Date, Buyer shall be responsible for paying any Asset Taxes that become due and payable after the Closing Date and shall file with the appropriate Governmental Authority any and all Tax Returns required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to such Asset Taxes. To the extent any such Tax Return relates to a Straddle Period, Buyer shall submit each such Tax Return to Seller for its review and comment reasonably in advance of the due date therefor and timely file such Tax Return, incorporating any reasonable comments received from Seller reasonably in advance of the due date therefor. The Parties agree that (A) this Section 15.3(d) is intended to solely address the timing and manner in which certain Tax Returns relating to Asset Taxes are filed and the Asset Taxes shown thereon are paid to the applicable taxing authority, and (B) nothing in this Section 15.3(d) shall be interpreted as altering the manner in which Asset Taxes are allocated to and economically borne by the Parties (except for any penalties, interest or additions to Tax imposed as a result of any breach by a Party of its obligations under this Section 15.3(d), which shall be borne by the breaching Party).

(e) Seller shall be allocated and bear all Asset Taxes with respect to the PE Assets and any Taxes imposed on or with respect to the JP Group, in each case, attributable to (i) any Tax period ending prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the portion of any Straddle Period ending immediately prior to the Effective Time. Buyer shall be allocated and bear all Asset Taxes with respect to the PE Assets and any Taxes imposed on or with respect to the JP Group, in each case, attributable to (x) any Tax period beginning at or after the Effective Time and (y) the portion of any Straddle Period beginning at the Effective Time.

(f) For purposes of determining the allocations described in Section 15.3(e), (i) Asset Taxes that are attributable to the severance or production of Hydrocarbons (other than such Asset Taxes described in clause (iii), below) shall be allocated to the period in which the severance or production giving rise to such Asset Taxes occurred, (ii) Asset Taxes that are based upon or related to sales or receipts or imposed on a transactional basis (other than such Asset Taxes described in clause (i) or (iii)), shall be allocated to the period in which the transaction giving rise to such Asset Taxes occurred, and (iii) Asset Taxes that are ad valorem, property or other Asset Taxes imposed on a periodic basis pertaining to a Straddle Period shall be allocated between the portion of such Straddle Period ending immediately prior to the Effective Time and the portion of such Straddle Period beginning at the Effective Time by prorating each such Asset Tax based on the number of days in the applicable Straddle Period that occur before the date on which the Effective Time occurs, on the one hand, and the number of days in such Straddle Period that occur on or after the date on which the Effective Time occurs, on the other hand. For purposes of clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the period for such Asset Taxes shall begin on the date on which ownership of the applicable Assets gives rise to liability for the particular Asset Tax and shall end on the day before the next such date. To the extent the actual amount of an Asset Tax is not known at the time an adjustment is to be made with respect to such Asset Tax pursuant to Section 3.2, Section 3.3, or Section 3.4, as applicable, the Parties shall utilize the most recent information available in estimating the amount of such Asset Tax for purposes of such adjustment. To the extent the actual amount of an Asset Tax (or the amount thereof paid or economically borne by Buyer or Seller) is ultimately determined to be different than the amount (if any) that was taken

94

into account in the Final Settlement Statement (as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.4), or any Party is required to file a Tax Return pursuant to Section 15.3(d) with respect to Asset Taxes that are allocable (in whole or in part) to another Party, timely payments will be made from one Party to the other to the extent necessary to cause each Party to bear the amount of such Asset Tax that is allocable to such Party under this Section 15.3(f).

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall have the right at any time prior to Closing to assign all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement (the “Assigned Rights”) to a Qualified Intermediary (as that term is defined in Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations) in order to accomplish the transaction in a manner that will comply, either in whole or in part, with the requirements of a like-kind exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code (an “Exchange”). In the event Seller assigns the Assigned Rights to a Qualified Intermediary pursuant to this Section 15.3(g), then Seller agrees to notify Buyer in writing of such assignment at or before the Closing. Buyer hereby consents to any such assignment and Buyer agrees to pay the Purchase Price (as may be adjusted under the terms of this Agreement) for the Assets into a qualified escrow or qualified trust account at Closing as directed by the Qualified Intermediary and Seller in writing; provided that the Closing shall not be delayed by reason of the Exchange. Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that any assignment of this Agreement by Seller pursuant to this Section 15.3(g) shall not release either Party from, or modify, any of their respective liabilities and obligations (including indemnity obligations to each other) under this Agreement. Buyer further consents to the reassignment, following the Closing, of all of the Assigned Rights that survive the Closing from the Qualified Intermediary to Seller.

15.4 Assignment. Except as provided in Section 15.3(g), this Agreement may not be assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. In the event the non-assigning Party consents to any such assignment, such assignment shall not relieve the assigning Party of any Liabilities hereunder, including Liabilities arising following such assignment. Any assignment or other transfer by Buyer or its successors and assigns of any of the Equity Interests in the JP Group or any of the Assets shall not relieve Buyer or its successors or assigns of any of their Liabilities (including indemnity obligations) hereunder. Any purported assignment of this Agreement by either Party in violation of this Section 15.4 shall be null and void, ab initio.

15.5 Preparation of Agreement. Seller and Buyer and their respective counsel participated in the preparation of this Agreement. In the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement, no presumption shall arise based on the identity of the draftsman of this Agreement.

15.6 Publicity. Except as required by Law or any nationally recognized securities exchange, each Party shall not issue or make any press release or other public or private announcement concerning this Agreement (or otherwise disclose the terms of this Agreement) without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. At least 24 hours prior to issuing or making any press release or other public or private announcement concerning this Agreement (or otherwise disclosing the terms of this Agreement), in each case, in accordance with this Section 15.6, such Party shall provide the other Party with such release, announce or disclosure and shall incorporate any reasonable comments requested by such other Party into such release, announcement or disclosure. Notwithstanding anything herein

95

to the contrary, except as required by Law or nationally recognized securities exchange, neither Buyer nor Seller shall disclose the name of the other Party (or the names of any of such other Party’s Affiliates) or the Purchase Price in any public release or announcement without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld).

15.7 Notices. All notices and communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, or sent by overnight courier or mailed by United States Mail with all postage fully prepaid, or sent by electronic mail (“email”) transmission (provided that a receipt of such email is requested by the notifying party and affirmatively acknowledged by the receiving party, and with the receiving Person affirmatively obligated to promptly acknowledge receipt), addressed to the appropriate Party at the address for such Party shown below or at such other address as such Party shall have theretofore designated by written notice delivered to the Party giving such notice:

The Parties may change the address and the email address to which such communications are to be addressed by giving written notice to the other Parties in the manner provided in this Section 15.7.

15.9 Filings, Notices and Certain Governmental Approvals.

Buyer obligates itself to take any and all action required by any Governmental Authority in order to obtain such unconditional approval, including the posting of any and all bonds or other security that may be required in excess of its existing lease, pipeline or area-wide bond.

97

15.10 Entire Agreement; Conflicts. THIS AGREEMENT, THE ANNEXES, EXHIBITS AND SCHEDULES HERETO, THE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS COLLECTIVELY 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 OR THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES PERTAINING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR OTHER AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, AND NEITHER SELLER NOR BUYER SHALL BE BOUND BY OR LIABLE FOR ANY REPRESENTATION, PROMISE, INDUCEMENT OR STATEMENTS OF INTENTION NOT SO SET FORTH. 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.

15.11 Parties in Interest. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Seller and Buyer and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except for the D&O Indemnified Parties with respect to Section 6.12 or the Nonparty Affiliates with respect to Section 15.19 nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any Person (other than the Parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns or the Parties’ respective Indemnified Parties) any rights, remedies or Liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement; provided that only a Party and its successors and assigns will have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement on its own behalf or on behalf of any of its related Indemnified Parties (but shall not be obligated to do so).

15.13 Waiver; Rights Cumulative. Any of the terms, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties or conditions hereof may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the Party waiving compliance. No course of dealing on the part of Seller or Buyer or their respective Representatives and no failure by Seller or Buyer 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. No waiver by any Party of any condition, or any breach of any term, covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or a waiver of any other condition or of any breach of any other term, covenant, agreement, representation or warranty. The rights of Seller and Buyer under this Agreement shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any such right by Seller or Buyer shall not preclude the exercise of any other right.

(b) Except as provided in Section 3.5, Article XI and Article XII, the Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state court of competent jurisdiction located in Fort Worth, Texas, and appropriate appellate courts therefrom, over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and each Party irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute shall be heard and determined exclusively in such courts and each Party irrevocably agrees to not institute suit over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in any other forum, including in any federal court located in Fort Worth, Texas. The Parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby brought in such courts or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the Parties agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. This consent to jurisdiction is being given solely for purposes of this Agreement and is not intended to, and shall not, confer consent to jurisdiction with respect to any other dispute in which a Party may become involved. Each of the Parties hereby consents to process being served by any Party in any Proceeding of the nature specified in this Section 15.14(b) by the mailing of a copy thereof in the manner specified by the provisions of Section 15.7.

15.15 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any adverse manner to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other 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.

15.18 Specific Performance. Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are special, unique and of extraordinary character and that, if any Party violates or fails or refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by it herein, the non-breaching Party may be damaged irreparably and the remedies at Law for such violation, failure or refusal, including monetary damages, might be inadequate compensation for any Liabilities as a result thereof, and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate is waived. If any Party violates

100

or fails or refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by such Party herein to be performed (including Seller’s or Buyer’s obligation to close the transaction completed by this Agreement), the non-breaching Party, subject to the terms hereof and in addition to any remedy at Law for damages or other relief permitted under this Agreement, may (at any time prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article XIV) institute and prosecute an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce specific performance of such covenant or agreement or seek any other equitable relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting of a bond.

15.19 Affiliate Liability. All Liabilities (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, granted by statute or otherwise) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement or any Transaction Document), may be made only against (and are expressly limited to) the entities that are expressly identified as Parties in the preamble to this Agreement or any successor or permitted assign of any the Parties (“Contracting Parties”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Transaction Document or otherwise, no Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, or other Representative of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any Contracting Party, or any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, or other Representative of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute or otherwise) for any Liabilities arising under or out of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or the negotiation, execution, performance, or breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document; and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, each Contracting Party, on behalf of itself and all other Persons, hereby waives and releases all such Liabilities against any such Nonparty Affiliates under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Contracting Party, on behalf of itself and all other Persons, hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available (including at law or in equity, or granted by statute or otherwise) to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose liability of a Contracting Party under this Agreement on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the corporate or other veil, distributions, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise.

15.20 Time is of the Essence. This Agreement contains a number of dates and times by which performance or exercise of rights is due and the Parties intend that each and every such date and time be the firm and final date and time, as agreed. For this reason, each Party hereby waives and relinquishes any right it might otherwise have to challenge its failure to meet any performance or rights election date and time applicable to it on the basis that its late action constitutes substantial performance. Without limiting the foregoing, time is of the essence in this Agreement.
